HT4910 i had pdf files in my ibook icon, ipluged in ipad and lost all the files?

I had pdf files in ibooks, i pluged my ipad2 into my pc. got into itunes and i think i lost them.
can i retreave it ??

Thanks for letting those who come here for help know that my navigation instructions are wrong on a PC with iTunes 11. The issue though is computer independent and relates to iTunes 11.  When the device and iTunes quit syncing back and forth, there is potential for data loss. When trying to manually update, the iTunes library wants to replace the contents of the device with the library.  That is not a problem if the content is complete.  I had a situation where multiple pdf documents were added to iBooks from sources other than iTunes and were failing to sync back to iTunes.  I had a choice, let iTunes replace the contents of my device and lose my pdf's or figure out a way to get my documents off the device and add them back.  I chose the later, emailing them from iBooks to my computer.  I then synced my iTunes library to the device replacing its contents.  I added back my pdf's by dropping them into iTunes and synced.  I have not experienced the problem since. My device and iTunes are now syncing with each other properly, including wirelessly.

  • I bought a new laptop how do I sync my ipad and get all the files synced to my old laptop

    I bought a new laptop. Can I sync my ipad to it?  And how do I get all the files that were synced to my old laptop?

    Do you still have your old computer with your media (music, films, etc) on it so that you can copy them over from it ? If you do then there are a number of methods on this page for how you could copy it over from it : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
    If not, and if you don't have your content elsewhere (e.g. music that wasn't bought from iTunes), then there are some programs listed half-way down this page for how to copy content back from a device : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
    For iTunes downloads you should be able to copy them from your iPad via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases
    Also see this page for syncing to a new computer : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141
    If you want to copy files/documents from the iPad then how you do so depends upon what app that they are in and what the app supports e.g. file sharing on the Apps tab in iTunes, transfer via your wifi network, email, dropbox etc

  • I recently updated the iOS on my ipad 3 and lost all my files in the process. How do I recover my lost files which were not previously backed up?

    I recently updated the iOS on my ipad 3 and lost all my files in the process. How do I recover my lost files which were not previously backed up?

    If you don't have them backed up somewhere, then there's little possibility of recovering them. There are some utilities that can in some cases recover an inadvertently-deleted photo, but I've found none that can recover photos or other data from an iPad that was erased as part of an iOS upgrade. You can do a web search for something like "iPhone photo recovery" and you'll find some utilities you can try.

    If the Mac's firmware was updated, you can try this Internet Recovery:
    Hold down Command + Option + R during restart or bootup; hold until you see a spinning globe (takes up to 10 minutes). Once in the Utilities window, use Disk utility to wipe the drive, then return to the window and choose to reinstall OS X. If that works, the OS will be installed without being tied to an Apple ID.
    FWIW, if the firmware was updated, you will not be able to use the Snow leopard disk to install - I just did several tests and it does not work. You can, however, possibly install the SL onto an external drive and then clone it to the internal or (if you have a clone), boot from that and clone it back - I just tested that as well.
    If the firmware was not updated, then you can use the SL install disk.

  • How can i open the directory/​folder and read all the files inside it in order and then close it?

    How can i open the directory/folder and read all the files inside it in order and then close it? any example would be nice.
    thanks

    In the File I/O>>Advanced File Functions Palette is a function named "List directory". This function will give you two arrays. One contains the names of all subdirectories the other the names of all files. If you want to sort them by name use the array sort function. If you want to sort them by another attribute use the File/Directory Info function to get more data. Use a cluster which contains the attribut to sort and the original index of the name. Then sort this array.

    The movie will only be where you put it.
    However,in some countries you can redownload some movies:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Learn more about which content types are supported for iTunes in the Cloud by country, as well as where iTunes Match is available.

  • I've lost all the files that were on the desktop.  All the folders  are still there with subfolders but the files have all disappeared.  Someone please help!

    It's been over a month since I accessed my files for work. (microsoft office, photos, videos) Today when I came in to work I realized that all the files on my desktop had disappeared. (it's just the desktop) I didn't do anything with my computer.  I didn't use my computer for almost the entire month.    I don't know where they are or what happened.  I really need these files back ASAP..... help please! 

    Unless the files were dumped in the Trash unintentionally, your files are still on your computer, somewhere. It's pretty easy to put files or folders in places without knowing it, but there is a good technique to find your data.'
    Think over a file or folder whose name is familiar. Then, press Cmd-Space at the same time, which brings up Spotlight - the easiest way to locate files, folders, history, and much more. If you end up with a blank the first time, try again until you have a hit. If you have a hit, note the location of the files/folder; it's likely that all of your lost documents are in the same place.
    Post if you have success, or need more help!

  • I rebuilt the thumbnail cache and lost all the changes and editing I had made to 4000 photos every photo reverted back to the original

    A tech rebuilt my iphoto thumbnail cache and afterwards all the changes and editing of all my 4000 photos was gone!
    Every phot had reverted back to the original!!!!! WHAT HAPPENED???? Why were all my changes destroyed? Where are the photos that I edited?
    Also a bunch of photos disappeared. HELP!!!!!

    Of course there is no reason that rebuilding a thumbnail cache would cause a loss of all editing of my photos!!! But that's what happened.
    I was there when the tech rebuilt  the library and thumbnails. He held down shift & command and opened Iphoto and a window appeared with "Rebuild Photo Library" with 6 boxes to check such as
    1) Repair Iphoto Library Database
    2) Rebuild Iphoto Library Database from automatic backup
    3) Rebuild the photos' small thumbnails
    4) Rebuild all the photos'thumbnails (this may take a while)
    5) Recover orphaned photos in the Iphoto Library Folder
    6) Examine and repair IPhotoLibrary file permissions
    The tech checked all boxes and after Iphoto has rebuilt everything all my editing was gone and all my photos had reverted back to their originals representing 5 years work.
    There are no stuck keys on my keyboard of my computer.

  • How to sinc two computers and get all the files from both

    Not sure if this is the right forum for the issue, but... I have a iMac G5 and a MacBook, and I use one or the other for my work. That way I get part of my work on one, and other part on the other Mac. Now, I would like to sinc both of them, so that I have all the files from iMac on the MB, vice versa. I know that I could go slowly and use an external hard drive, copy files from one computer, save on another, but is there any handier and faster way to do it?
    Thanks

  • Cannot down load itunes. Had it before but couldnt update so I uninstalled it and removed all the components but I get a message stating the installer has insufficient privileges to modify this file. Then an error message

    I cannot download itunes to my pc. I had it on a couple of months back but I could not update the software so i removed everything and tried to reinstall. I get a message that says "The installer has insufficient privaleges to modify this file. Then when I click that off it continues to download and says its complete and ready but when I try to open i get another message "error#7 itunes did not install correctly. Please reinstall. "Which I have tried to do to no avail. Any suggestions?

      Many thanks.
    That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
    XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
    Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
    Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
    Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
    Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?
