HT4059 iBooks on iPad and iPhone problem

      The books in my iBooks will not stay in the collection I put them in.  They just keep returning to Purchased Books.  But some will randomly place themselves in Books without being put there.  I tried setting up a different collection and putting them all in there, but as soon as you exit the ap and come back - they are all back where they started from. I'm so frustrated!  I also cannot get any books to delete.  Can anyone help me?

Hi vmarlin!
I have an article here that I believe will go a long way toward explaining what is going on with your iBooks app:
iBooks: Tips for managing your iBooks library and storage on iOS devices
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5544
Specifically, I believe this will address your questions:
To free up storage on your device while keeping your library organization, tap Delete This Copy. The copy of the book on that iOS device will be removed, but the cover of the book will remain in your iBooks library with a cloud icon visible in the upper corner. To download the book again, just tap the book cover.
To remove a purchased book from your library on all of your devices, tap Delete From All Devices. The book will be removed from all of your iOS devices, and its cover will only appear in the Purchased Books collection with a cloud icon visible in the upper corner. If you change your mind, you can download the book again from your Purchased Books collection.
So if your books are not downloaded onto the device, they will still show up in your iBooks app with the "download from iCloud" icon in the upper right hand corner, but they will only appear in the Purchased Books section. You will want to download the books you want onto your device, then arrange them into the Collections you would like them to reside in. Thanks for coming to the Apple Support Communities!
Regards,
Braden

  • IBooks on iPad and iPhone

    I have an iPad and and iPhone. I have iBooks app on both. I don't have an iMac computer. Can I get the books I purchased on my iPad to show up on my iPhone. I believe I have the settings on both to Sync.
    I saw on on Apple commercial they showed someone reading an iBook on an iPad and then showing the same book being able to be read on the iPhone. There was no iMac in the commercial. This lead me to believe I do not need an iMac in order to share a book on my iPad and iPhone. However, earlier threads seem to indicate a computer is needed to sync iBooks between iPad and iPhone.
    My calendar and contacts sync correctly.

    The books won't share or bookmarks/collections?
    Reset both devices?
    Turn sync bookmarks & collections off, then on again?
    Remove the books and then load them up again from a single iTunes library?

  • IBOOKS on iPAD and iPHONE Sync?

    Hello -
    Pretty simple:  I have an iPad2 and iPhone 4S.  iBooks on both.  Recently just purchased my first two books via iBooks store on the iPad.  I checked settings on both iPad and iPhone and I have sync turned ON.  I have iCloud (not sure this matters).  Why don't the books appear on my iPhone?
    THANKS!
    Gregg

    The best way I found to sync PDFs in iBooks between all your IOS Devices and a Mac is to TICK the "Sync with this (Your iDevice) over Wi-Fi" setting which is found in the "Summery" when you open iTunes on your Mac and select your iDevice from the top let corner of your iTunes window or from the left side column in the Playlist amd Apply.

  • VoiceOver issue with iBooks on iPad and iPhone in iOS 4.2.1

    I use the VoiceOver feature of my iPad and iPhone. After I upgraded to iOS 4.2.1 I was unable to buy any books from the iBooks store. I had to disable VoiceOver to make my purchases (not an easy feat when you need VoiceOver!)
    I particular, I've found two bugs.
    1. When I have VoiceOver enabled while using iBooks, I can not select the price button to buy a book.
    2. While I'm in my Account page by first selecting "Apple ID: myappleid" at the bottom of an iBooks page and then selecting [View Apple ID] from the pop-up, I'm unable to modify any of the fileds. VoiceOver tells me I can select the fields, but when I try to, the control (numeric keypad, picker item, etc.) is not displayed and I have no way of modifying the field. H have to disable VoiceOver and navigate back to make my changes.
    How do I report this to Apple?

    The best place to let Apple know your views is via the channel they have set up for that.

  • Unsure how to sync ibooks between ipad and iphone

    A few months ago I downloaded an extensive collection of work documents, in pdf format. They've been saved in ibooks on my iphone. After having synced my phone to my itunes, I currently see that I have those documents in Itunes. However, not knowing how to sync between iphone and ipad, I had uploaded those documents manually to my ipad via email. Now I have some mismatching documents in ibooks. I am wondering how to rectify this. I wonder if I could erase my ipad, and restart it as a new ipad, then sync it with my itunes on my computer, in order to upload the appropriate documents into ibooks. Thoughts?? Thank you!

    Welcome to the Apple Community Ryan.
    PDF's don't sync between devices in iBooks, if you want to do that use something like Adobe reader.

  • Apple ID on iPad and iPhone problems

    I changed my Apple ID but my iPad nor my iPhone 5 won't let me log out of my old account. I tried erasing the old account on my iPad but it won't let me because I have to turn off locate my iPad, which I can't do without entering my old password(doesn't work because it doesn't exist anymore). Even though my iPhone has my new account info saved under iCloud it still asks for my old email and password when I try to update apps. I've also tried resetting my iPad and nothing changed. Please help!

    Your response fixed the problem on my iPhone but not my iPad. I updated my Apple ID but cannot delete my old account on my iPad because I cannot turn off "Find my IPad". I do not have access to the old email so I cannot change the password, what other options do I have?

  • BT Infinity Ipad and Iphone problems

    Help please, got fibre installed yesterday and almost everything is perfect, my PC is fine, my wifes Ipad also fine, however; my Iphone and Ipad simply won't do anything. I thought it might be a safari problem so reset the data etc etc,
    It could acces almost everything, FBook, Maps etc etc, but won't do anything else, I mean I cant use the internet, which is odd as that's what FBook and Maps use
    It wont download anything and wont connect to ICloud at all, no matter what I do it says I aren't connected when I clearly am.
    So I totally reset the IPad deleting everything and starting from scratch, still can't connect to the Cloud or app store, it won't even connect for messaging.
    Oddly enough I managed to connect to cloud when setting up as it emailed me to say I accessed it
    It connects to Itunes music and the App store yet no downloads happen they just sit there waiting
    The devices are clearly connected as shown in my hub manager
    Any advice most welcome
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Make sure you turn off "Smart Set Up" on the Homehub. See link how to do that
    http://bt.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/44328/~/switching-smart-setup-on-and-off-on-the-bt-ho...
    Some devices have a problem with the Homehub dual band having the same SSid (name). Try giving the 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz frequencies different SSids. Just add a 5 to the end of the 5Ghz SSid so you know which is which. Check the 5 GHz Sync with 2.4 GHz: is set to NO.
    Once you have done that "forget" the connection on your device and then restart the device and log onto both the SSids if the device can use both frequencies. Not all devices can use 5GHz.

  • HT5826 can't synch ibooks between ipad and iphone

    Have done everything that
    HT5826: iBooks: How to sync iBooks between devices, says and still no complete synch between iphone and ipad

    Yes it is, but it's also quite understandable. Apple has no way to know where non-iBookstore ebooks originated and whether they're legal copies or not, so they can't risk the liability of making possibly copyright infringing copies of them, automatically sending them to multiple devices. If you do it via manual syncs with iTunes however the legal liability is with you if they're illegal copies. Thus you can't store slide-loaded ebooks in iCloud or have them automatically sent to all your devices like you can with books purchased from the iBookstore.
    Maybe one day Apple will be able to convince the publishers to allow them to implement an iBooks Match scheme like the iTunes Match scheme for music, but given the notorious conservatism of book publishers and the difficulty of automatically fingerprinting books with many different editions vs music recordings for matching purposes I wouldn't hold my breath.

  • Hi I am having problems downloading and updating apps on my iPad and iPhone. The message cycles between waiting and loading then I get an error message saying unable to download app. Eventually,after many attempts it works.

    Hi Guys - for a few days I have been having problems downloading and updating apps on my iPad and iPhone. The message cycles between waiting and downloading then eventually says unable to download app. Sometimes after many attempts it wil eventually work. I tested it on an old iPhone 3G and got the same problem so it is not an iOS 5 issue. My WI-FI connection is working fine. I was wondering if this is an App Store problem? Anyone else in the UK having this problem?

    Hi John
    iTunes Support wasn't of any use to me.
    I have also been having another problem - with BBC iPlayer and other video streaming not working due to insufficient bandwidth, despite my overall download speed being consistently around 50Gb.  This is also affecting AppleTV downloads
    I am using Virgin Media as my ISP, and was wondering whether you do as well.  This might be the common thread.

  • I can't download any app into my iPAD, but I have no problem downloading app into my iPhone. Using same Apple ID for both my iPAD and iPhone.

    HELP!
    I couldn't download any app into my iPAD. Puzzled by this strange condition, I tried downloading the same chosen app into my iPhone. It worked!
    I use the same Apple ID for both my iPAD and iPhone. So why is it not working for my iPad? Previously, both devices were working fine!
    I hope that somebody can help me solve this problem.

    Do the apps show as installed on the Purchased tab in the App Store app ? If they show as installed, then have you got any restrictions set on Settings > General > Restrictions (e.g. Allowed Content > Apps) that might be hiding them ?
    You could try closing the App Store app completely and then seeing if it downloads after you re-open it : from the home screen (i.e.not with the App Store app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the App Store app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    You could also try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
    And try logging out, and then back in, with your iTunes account : Settings > Store
