How do I save documents from iBooks on iPad to my iMac?

I am upgrading to iPad Air 2. Yeay! I am backing up everything on my old iPad (3rd generation), preparatory to erasing it to hand it on to a family member. There are documents I have saved into iBooks on my old iPad that are nowhere else, all categorised, and this represents a lot of work over several years. I have already lost a lot of these, when I updated the system recently. (Why is that?) I can easily save documents or other media to my iMac (27 inch, late 2013, Yosemite 10.10.2) from just about every other app, Apple and non-Apple, but not iBooks! What is that about? And how can I save the ones I still have? Do I have to email each one to myself? (The only solution I have thought of so far.)

You can manually add the files to your iTunes library...on Apple's support pages:
"To add PDFs to your iTunes library on your computer, drag and drop the PDF into your iTunes Book library. If you're using OS X Mavericks or later, drag and drop your PDFs into your iBooks library using iBooks for Mac."

    You can't.  iCloud doesn't support general file/document storage.  Try a different cloud service like Dropbox.

  • How do I save documents from the new Pages into a Word Document

    How do I save documents from the new Pages into a Word Document?

    Thank you so much - so simple!  I had been using the 'share' option (worked in old Pages) and only had icloud or email as options.  I have to attach word documents to emails to send to work. I don't want to use icloud because it's too public and I don't trust it.  Also, you have to be able to access the internet and I need word documents on my USB stick for work where there's no internet.
    I love my Mac but I do wish Apple would remember those of us living in less-than-perfect computer-land.
    Thanks again

    HOw do I save documents from iCloud into pages using an ipad?

    Where are you expecting to see "iCloud document?" Pages stores copies of your documents in iCloud but the documents appear in the Pages app. When you edit the document changes are automatically saved to iCloud. You do not go to iCloud to look for documents to open or copy.

    How do I get documents from Mac to iPad?

    If you just have a few that you want to view, you can e-mail them to yourself and use the viewer in the mail app to view them.
    If you have several or want to save them on the iPad or edit them then you'll need an app. Apple has iPad versions of Pages, numbers and keynote that should sync between your mac and iPad.

  • How do I get documents from pc to ipad?

    I have installed Pages on my iPad but don't know how to get documents from my PC to the Cloud.

    Go into iTunes, while iPad is connected, select it under devices. On the apps tab, scroll down and you will see the documents box. You can then select Pages and browse/select your document and then sync to the iPad.

  • How do I get documents from iCloud into iPad?

    I can't figure out how to get Page documents that I moved from iMac to iCloud to sync with iPad.

    Settings app > Pages > Use iCloud (turn it ON)
    Also check to see that iCloud is turned on in general for the phone and that you are signed in (Settings App > iCloud)

  • How do I save documents in 2009 Pages for my new IMac

    I have a new 10.10.2 iMac and cannot open saved documents from older version of pages. Is there a way to convert them?

    Pages 5.5.2 can't open files from versions before Pages '09.
    You should have Pages '08/'09 in your Applications/iWork folder.
    Open your files with that.

  • HT204365 How to email pdf files from iBook in iPad?

    Why I can only see "print" but no "email" button when i open my pdf files in iBooks? As far as i know i should be able to email my pdf files from ibooks right?

    Yes you should be able to email a PDF from iBooks. When you tap the arrow in the upper left the option should appear.
    Maybe some basic troubleshooting steps will help.
    Quit the iBooks app completely and restart the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Or .... Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    You may want to consider deleting the app and reinstalling. Tap and hold down on the app icon until it jiggles, then tap the X on the icon. Tap the home button to stop the apps from jiggling. Download iBooks again.
