One possible reason is have you synced to your computer's iTunes recently ? If so then it might have replaced the books that were on your iPad with those that are on your computer's iTunes library.
You should be able to re-download them via the Purchased tab in the ibookstore in the iBooks app, or via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes and then sync them back to the iPad : re-downloading. If you re-download them directly on your iPad then you may want to copy them to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases, so that you have a backup copy of them and to see if it stops them disappearing from the iPad again when you sync (assuming that was the reason why they disappeard).

  • IPhoto "Unexpectedly Quit". When I went back in, about the past month's worth of uploaded photos was missing. What happened, and how can I retrieve them?

    IPhoto was open, but "unexpectedly quit".  When I opened it again a couple days later, my most recent photo uploads (for the past month or so) were missing, with dated Events folders saying "no photos". This had happened another time about a year ago? What happened, and how do I retrieve my photos?  I hadn't backed them up, but do they automatically do so on iCloud?

    Assuming you're running iPhoto 9 or later do the following:
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down to open the First Aid window. Be sure to follow the circled recommendation in the screenshot.
    2 - run Option #4, Rebuild Database.

    Hello.
    I did not touch my computer the past week, I've only been messing with my laptop.  I had my computer off a whole day.  I turn it on, open iTunes, and everything is gone.
    Is your laptop a different computer than your computer?
    You have two computers?
    iTunes is missing everything from which one/both?
    I system restore.  Everything is gone.  None of my podcasts, apps, or music files are there.
    Do you mean you reinstalled the system from scratch?
    Yes, that tends to delete everything.
    Or you restored everything from a backup?
    Directions on where to go to download all past purchases?
    Selete Store on the left side of iTunes.
    Make sure you are signed in.
    Click on Purchased on the right side under Quick links to redownlaod your purchases.
    Then make sure to regularly backup, backup, backup all your important data .

    I just got a new iPod touch and I can't find iChat. I am not sure if it is the generation (4th)  but it should come automatically. I also know somebody who has a 3rd generation iPod. What happened and how can I get it?

    iOS 5 comes with the Messaging app.  You can text with that.  It is not called iChat, it is called Messages

  • Last night, mail suddenly lost all my emails, which were stored in mailboxes.  What happened and how can I find my lost files?  I have the latest MacBookPro, running Lion 10.7.2 all software updates installed

    Last night the mail application from Apple lost all my old emails, which were stored in mailboxes, neatly sorted by category.  What happened and how do I find them? 
    Details:  I shut down mail to run errands outside my office.  My late model MacBook Pro was on "sleep".  When I returned, I opened the application, and (RATS!) all the mailboxes were missing.  They just evaporated. 
    Operating system:  10.7.2 - all software updates installed and current as of 24 hours ago (12-30-11, 6 AM EST). 
    ln the mail program, the trash folder is OK and the sent folder is OK. 
    Yesterday, I did no maintenance on my mail folders.
    HELP! 

    1 - the sudden disappearance of my 22 mailboxes, used to sort the emails that I need to file for future use
    That was most likely the result of some kind of corruption, as I've already said, not a bug in Mail.  Have you repaired the hard drive with Disk Utility recently?  That wouldn't be a bad idea.
    2 - at random times, mail (or the server) says that my password is incorrect and I must reenter (fix:  usually I can quit mail, restart, and the connection is restored without reentering my password)
    This is a known issue, where a failure to respond promptly on the server's end mimics what happens when the password is rejected.  There's no need to quit Mail, just cancel when asked to enter the password, take the account back online and try again.
    3 - mail seems to resort the mail in my mailboxes at random time.  Several times a day, I must reset the sort to (a) by date; (b) by desending
    Never seen that before.  That points more to some kind of possible corruption in your Mail data or preference files.

  • I have a iPhone 4s connected my macbook pro.  I lost my all data (picture, all massages) in my phone.  Why did it happen and how can I get all back?

    I have an iPhone 4s and I connnected my phone to my laptop, which is a macbook pro.  This is the second iPhone 4s I have had.  The first one had a problem and I had to replace it which is the one I have now.  When I connected my phone to the laptop, my phone shut down and when it turned back on, all my information from the first 4s phone went to the phone I have now.  All the text messages from the old one, photos, apps, etc.  Now my information like messages, photos, apps, etc from the current phone is gone, and I need them.  What can I do?  How can I get that information back?

    Is the MacBook the computer you have synced with in the past? If not you can use the computer that you have synced with to restore your apps. Are you sure you are using the same Apple ID that you used to purchase the Apps?

  • I have lost all my headings, like bookmarks, facebook etc. What happened and how do I get them back?

    At the top of the screen it might say bookmarks, I would click on that and book marks would all be listed. I have lost the top part of my home page with all the things i need like my bank website etc.

    I have read a lot of suggestions concerning my problem, the thing is I don't have the option of Re-downloading and in the file menu when I get my library options I don't even have the option of backing up my movie, music, apps, and I don'tt have the Purchased option under my quick links for some unknown reason. Open itunes store  Click "Purchased" under "Quick Links", simply does not work for me. I certainly would like to contact itunes support who would kindly granted me a one time re-download of my purchased music. But then don't answer my cry for help, so again I am stuck with nothing after I bought over 1000.00 dollars worth of movies, music, apps and I don' t have acces to any of it. Thank you Apple for making me feel like a valued customer,
    Thank you all for your help but it just doesn't work 4 m2.

  • I am getting a black/yellow sign with NETBLOCKADE on it when I try to open youtube, and of the Facebook games.......what happened and how can I correct this?

    I do not know what else to write except my question. The page will open up but where the scene I am suppose to watch on YouTube or the area where the game is suppose to be played....this warning sign in black and yellow strips with netblockade written across it appears and I can not go forward since it is blocked!!!! I do not know what happened. What can I do to remove this block? Thanks

    Go to image>mode and note the color mode (rgb, bitmap, etc) and bit depth of your photo. For the most possible use of PSE it should be RGB 8 bit.

  • Help me my iPod is white screening after I dropped it on the floor what happened and how can I fix it?

    I was playing an app on my iPod and I got up to go to the restroom and I decide to put the iPod in my pocket then as I legit go I heard a clack on the ground and found my iPod on the floor there was no physical damage to the screen face, no scratches, chips, or cracks.
    I then try to wake up my iPod and it white screened but does not shutdown, just a constant white screen. I tried to hard reset it and it continued to white screen when it restarted. What happened to it?

    Only if it is a loose connection
    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $199 for 64 GB 4G and $99 for the other 4Gs. They do not fix yours.
