  • I think we should have been given the option to move books from iTunes to iBooks. All mine were downloaded CD booklets and inserts which were in their right place in iTunes. What do others think?

    I think we should have been given the option to have our books moved from iTunes to iBooks. All mine were CD booklets and inserts downloaded with the CDs, and the obvious place for them was in iTunes. As it is now, I can no longer use my own convention for naming, sorting etc. The sort facility in iBooks does not work. What do others think?

  • Trying to move books from iTunes to iBooks, but apparently do not know how to do it.

    Apparently need to move my books from iTunes over to iBooks.  Dragging the book from one to the other does not work.  (If only it could be so simple!)  Anyone able to help as to how to do this?

    Have you tried File > Move books from iTunes ... ?

  • Downloaded rental movie from iTunes cannot be transfered to new iPad

    I have the new iPad. I downloaded a rental movie (Sherlock2). Tried to move it from iTunes on my mac to my new ipad, but says it can't be played on this iPad? According the specs it should be possible and the movie isn't even HD. Anyone?

    Never mind. 15 minutes of research revealed that we own a 5th generation iPod, which evidently is not compatible with rentals. I am quite annoyed. Thanks Apple, for not making this clear at all in your FAQ. There should be a much more definitive description for compatibility in the FAQ, as I don't know anyone who is aware of which specific 'generation' of iPod they own. I had to go through the huge list of past and present models on the support site before figuring this out.
    Does anyone know if it is possible to get a refund if we have not yet attempted to play the movie on our Windows machine that we rented the movie with?

    If the book isn't on your computer's iTunes then you should be able to copy it from the iPad by connecting the iPad to your computer and in iTunes doing File > Transfer Purchases and you can then sync it to the iPhone (connect the iPhone to your computer, select it on the left-hand side of iTunes, and use the Books tab on the right-hand side to select and sync that book). Or you can re-download it directly on the iPhone : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
    Another option, if you always want ibooks to download on both devices, is to turn 'automatic downloads' for books 'on' on both : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT453

  • How do I transfer books from blue fire to ibooks on my ipad?

    How do I transfer books from blue fire to iBooks on my ipad?

    If they are albums that you've synced from your computer then they are removed by re-connecting to your computer's iTunes, de-selecting them on the Photos tab, and re-syncing - albums and photos that you've synced can't be deleted (and albums can't be merged) directly on the iPad.
    If they are albums that you've created directly on the iPad then you should be able to delete them on the iPad via the Edit button at the top left of the album selection screen. You can also copy more photos into (via the Edit button when within an album), and delete photos from, those albums.

  • How do i transfer books from a flash drive to ibooks

    How do I transfer books from a flashdrive to ibooks.

    Are you using OSX 10.9 or 10.8? If you are using 10.9 as a beta tester you should not be posting here but in the Apple Seed forums.
    iBooks will be part the new 10.9 but is not part of the OSX system currently.

  • HT2534 I downloaded books from itunes to my computer but cannot transfer them to my iphone?

    I downloaded ibooks and then purchased books from itunes.  They show up in my itunes account on my computer but when I try to sync the books to my iphone all it shows is that they are downloading.  They have been downloading for 2 days.  What am I doing wrong?

    That is correct.
    ibooks are for ipod/ipad/iphone, NOT your computer.

  • Hundreds of Books disappeared during migration from iTunes to iBooks. Where are they?

    After the Mavericks upgrade, I tried to access my iBook library (containing hundreds of EPUB and PDF books, almost all of which weren't purchased from Apple) via iTunes.
    I got the message to import them via iBooks (v 1.0). I did so, and all but two books disappeared. I was told by an Apple Genius that a fix was in the works. So I waited.
    I installed iBooks 1.0.1, and redid the "Move Books from iTunes". None of my books were found - they'd all been removed from iTunes by the broken version of iBooks.
    So where did iBooks 1.0 put my books? How can I get them back?
    Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

    They may well be lost.
    I had the same, the whole snyc process over to iBooks did not work at all. Apple keeping quiet about it, because its such a major screw-up.
    Luckily enough, I had a backup of all my pdf-books, so I imported them manually to iBooks. Some people suggested the books may be buried somewehre deep in your iTunes music library.  Well, they certianly weren't over here.
    A true mess, and fully consistent with the recent f*** ups in iPhoto  (library sharing via Wifi has disappeared) and the much talked about missing features in Pages and Numbers (never used those cripples anyway as I need to do serious word porcessing and calculating, so these "kids-apps" are no alternative to Word and Excel)

  • File transfer problem from iTunes to BlueFire Reader

    With my iPad 2 attached to my Mac computer, I added an ebook (purchased from and downloaded to iTunes) to the file transfer list of files for use with my BlueFire Reader.
    The ebook concerned was transferred to my BlueFire app on the iPad.
    However, there is no cover and, when I open the book in BlueFire Reader, there is no text on any page. What am I doing wrong and can I fix this problem?
    Thank you.

    Thank you.
    I have iBooks installed but find with my poor eyesight that BlueFire Reader is easier to see.
    Hence my desire to transfer the ebook from iTunes or iBooks to BlueFire.

  • I had purchased an audio book from itunes on my iPad and when I synced my iPad with my computer, my audiobook disappeared. I have already purchased this audiobook, so now I just need to know how to get it back because it is not on iPad anymore.

    I had purchased an audio book from itunes on my iPad and when I synced my iPad with my computer, my audiobook disappeared. I have already purchased this audiobook, so now I just need to know how to get it back because it is not on iPad anymore. I don't think the audiobook was backed up to icloud but I have the receipt to prove I purchased it. Is there anyway I can get it back?

    "If I purchase an audio book in iTunes on my iPad why can't I listen to it on my Mac? "
    You can.  Why do you think you cannot?
    If you purchased it on your ipad, then you would have to transfer it to your computer. File>Devices>Transfer Purchases.
    You can then listen to it on your computer.

  • I purchased a book from itunes and see it in my purcahsed library, but it did not sync to my ipad, is there something i need to do

    I purchased a book from Itunes and see it in my purcahsed library.  However, it did not sync to my ipad.  is there something i can do to move it to my ibooks on my ipad?

    If you purchased it on your computer's iTunes then have did you select it to sync to your iPad (via the iPad's Books tab on your computer's iTunes) ?. On your iPad you can also turn Settings > Store > Books 'on' so that iBooks purchases made on your computer or other iOS device are automatically downloaded to it. You can also re-download the book for free directly on your iPad : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519

    Hi Peggs,
    Try this:
    Open your iBooks app on your iPad
    Select the Store Button at the top
    Select Purchased at the bottom
    You will see your AppleID on the right at the bottom, then Redeem, then Support
    Click on your Apple ID, and when the AppleID window comes up with the options, Sign Out
    Then Sign In again and try redownloading your book
    Hope this helps!
    Cheers,
