HT204365 I downloaded a PDF to iBooks and that is all I get. My books have disappeared

I downloaded from Internet saved PDF to iBooks. Now, all of the books on bookshelf disappeared?

If your library was working on your computer and then popped up empty all of a sudden then this might be what you need...
Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!

  • Hundreds of my email addresses that were in my personal address book have disappeared. I did not delete them and I would like to recover them. Help!

    Hundreds of email addresses have suddenly disappeared from my personal address book on Thunderbird. Gone. Previously, I would begin to type in a name and the system would complete it, now that is only possible if the email is stored in the address book. Some email addresses remained, but most have been wiped out. What happened? Where did they go and are they recoverable? This happened within the past week. Thanks for your help!

    First, don't try to find and reimport or move photos via the My Photos search in the left hand pane of a Finder window.  That's a sure way to further damage a library. 
    Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database.
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
    3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
    4 - In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    5 - Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments.  However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • Syncing PDFs between iBooks and iOS devices

    Hello everyone,
    I just ordered an iPad Air. I wanted one for a long time, and one of the things that I am most after is the ability to read PDF documents anywhere I want. I have been organizing my eBooks and PDFs in iBooks, and I was under the impression that this meant I would be able to see the collection on my iOS devices and download them to those devices when I needed them. But I guess it's not that simple, is it?
    As I don't yet have the iPad with me, I have been trying to sync what I see in iBooks to my iPhone 4S, but I only see one mqtching book on both the Mac and the iPhone, and that's one book purchased from iBooks itself. Then there's one free ebook that was also downloaded inside iBooks, from the computer, but does not show in the iPhone. Adding to this, none of the PDFs I have organized inside iBooks will show up on the iPhone.
    Am I doing something wrong? Any of you successfuly organizing ebooks and PDFs in iBooks and seeing them on your iOS devices? What should I try?
    I'm on the latest Mavericks update and all the mentioned apps are updated. Also, the iPhone is running the latest update of iOS7.
    Thank you so much.

    Well, nevermind. It suddenly decided to start syncing, somehow! Not sure what I did to make it work though.
    Anyway, this is still not what I was expecting. The only way to synchronize what I have in iBooks with the iOS devices, is through iTunes, and I need to be in the same network, right?
    I thought this would be something more like iTunes Match, where I could have all my ebooks and PDFs up in the Cloud and download them to my devices whenever I needed them.
    Do you know if there's any app providing this type of system?
    Thanks a lot.

    how to download applications like the ibooks and iworks for ipad in india

    At this point you will only be able to download whatever is available in the Apps Store in the iTunes Store for India. I doubt very much iBooks or iWorks will be available until the iPad has actually been released for India.

  • Can I take a PDF from iBooks and make it a numbers document?

    Can I take a PDF from iBooks and make it a numbers document?

    To do this on your phone, copy and paste them into your document (tap and hold on the photo to copy it).  If you need to import it to your computer to do this, save it to the camera roll by tapping Edit, tap the photos you want to import, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll.  You can then import them to your computer using your usb cable (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083).  Alternatively, attach them 3-4 at a time emails and send them to yourself.

    Did you check the home page setting?
    *Firefox > Preferences > General > Startup: Home page

    If you do not keep changes after a restart then see:
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved
    You can also check for problems with the sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak files in the Firefox Profile Folder that store session data.
    Delete the sessionstore.js file and possible sessionstore-##.js files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.

    Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).

  • When downloading updates for Quicktime 7 and Itunes 10 I keep getting an error saying that files shared by these updates has an invalid signature and that the downloaded has been removed.

    When downloading updated for Quicktime 7 and Itunes 10 I keep getting an error saying that files shared by these updates has an invalid signature and that the downloaded has been removed. If I don't get that message I get a message saying that the download was unsuccesful and that in order to download I need to go to tools and then select dowload only. Please help I really want to update my iphone!

    Thanks for helping out, but I already tried these steps.
    I even tried this on a iMac with similar results. The only difference was that the errorcode was called 2001 instead of 21.
    Today I took the phone to www.iphoneambulancen.dk. A guy (in Aarhus, Denmark) that specializes in iPhone repairs. I figured, that given his occupation he'd seen most errorcdes. Two hours later, he called me back, and told me that he had replaced the battery.
    So, it turns out that a broken battery can cause this behaviour.
    But thanks again

  • How can I actually PLAY a game on my iPhone 6?  When I GOTO the Game Center and click games, all I get is the screen with leaderboards, stats, etc

    How can I actually PLAY a game on my iPhone 6?  When I goto the Game Center and click on games, then click on a specific game (solitaire, for example), all I get is the leaderboards, achievements and player screen.  All I want to do is launch the game.

    Hi Jordanali!!!
    Game Center is just simply used for what you are seeing, leaderboards and stats between your friends and yourself.
    To launch an app, first download it from the app store, then just tap the icon on the home screen when it is done downloading!!!
    I hope that answers all of your questions!
