IBooks app not refreshing shelf after sync ( iOS 8 )

On the prior version, iOS 7, I'd sync my ibooks with itunes. And with the iPad connected to the computer, I'd see the iBook appear on the shelf. With the new version I need not to just close the iBooks app, but to close it with double Home button click and kill the app.
Is there a way to fix this?
Thanks

Thanks for your reply King_Penguin
Re your first point - 'Sync collections' was ticked in both the iPad and Mac versions of iBooks prior to these problems occurring.
Why have recently purchased or installed books been moved to iCloud and moved off my iPad and iMac when previously they were there in my iBooks library collections? They were books I'd read or were in the process of reading.
More confusing is that on my Mac in iBooks there are books that are fully downloaded and not in iCloud yet the same books in iBooks on the iPad are not downloaded and are in iCloud. After I sync this hasn't changed. To my mind this means that sync isn't working properly or that maybe iCloud has somehow been activated on one device and not on the other?
Why should I have to re-download books that were already present in my iBooks library on Mac and iPad prior to my upgrades to Yosemite, iOS 8 and the iBooks  apps?
I have to reiterate that I do not and will not use iCloud and for 2 reasons: it is not secure and Apple uses push marketing to make it difficult for you to not use it.

  • IBook app not able to restore

    I upgraded to ios5 for my iPad1 yesterday...now i can't get my iBook purchases and ALL my PDF files back...where have they gone to??

    Thanks so much for your reply...
    Yup I'm in the iBooks app not the Newsstand app .

    I checked on my MBP but couldn't find any of them but when I went to the iTunes account and only the book purchases was found in the iCloud even though I didn't request the use of the iCloud facility.
    Despite all that my PDF files are still missing...
    Glad for your input...give me a shout if you have any advice...

  • Can not refresh page after save properly(When not saving master record)

    I am using jdeveloper 11g R2 (11.1.2.3) JSF Facelet
    In some use case I have Address as master table and Person as detail table
    For some business reason I need to don't save same addresses
    eg:
    If +1 Test St+ is in database already and new user coming and adding this address with new person
    I need to use the row in database not creating a new address
    I do saving in doDML method of Address with some hashing algorithm and it is fine
    My problem is that I can not refresh page after save properly
    User coming to page think Adding a new address and a new person but in fact no new
    address added because of business I describe above
    Any ideas how I can implement this?
    Appreciate that
    Regards
    Mohsen

    Hi,
    from your description it is not clear why the page doesn't refresh. It could be a problem in your implementation code - who knows. What if you perform the address check on a command button that actually submits the new address? If the check returns true (address exists) you would call row.refresh(forget new row); and re-query the view object so the address coming from the database is displayed. If you wanted to use the doDML then yuou need to be aware that doDML doesn't help removing the row the user created. It just ignores the database update but the entity is still around, which in my suggested solution wont be the case.

  • IBooks app - must download again after iOS 5 update

    This was so frustrating I thought it deserved another posting.
    I bought two new books through iBooks store and they appeared to be corrupted.
    The failure was very confusing and I thought it was content related.
    I deleted the books from the shelf and redownloaded the content from Apple.
    Same thing.
    I finally reluctantly deleted the iBooks App.. which also deleted all associated data.
    Then went to App Store and downloaded the iBooks App again.
    Then opened one of the books, everything was fine.
    The nature of the error messages that were being reported led me to believe there was a DRM encode/decode error occurring repeatedly between the iBooks App and the book it was trying to render.
    Mind you
    I had updated to iOS 5 several days ago and nothing odd appeared to happen.
    So something must have happened unnoticed or somehow the new iOS5 operating system could no longer work with the iBooks App I had on my iPad2.
    This might help a lot of other people having other problems with the iBook App on the iPad2.
    Hence why I'm posting this separate from my original question and answer.

    I have Ping turned off in iTunes, thus will not appear on my phone. There is no separate app, Ping gets transferred to your phone if turned on in iTunes on your computer.

  • IPAD 2 - IBOOKS app not appearing after download

    I have been able to download COMCAS and SONOS apps without problem and they show on my screen (I have only one screen) but I have tried several times to download ibooks using my itunes store, then syncing with my IPAD. I never see any app on my IPAD. It is NOT on any 2nd screen page and I have tried off/on with IPAD, then a soft reset and nothing works.
    Would appreciate any help since using IPAD as a book reader was one of my main reasons for buying it.
    Thanks,
    Pete

    When you say a soft reset, do you mean : pressing and holding both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignoring the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear (you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot). If not, then give that a go. A number of people have had a similar issue with iBooks (and I've only heard about it affecting iBooks), and it's then appeared after this type of reset

  • Ibook is not working with the new ios 5.01 any ideas why?

    After updating to ios 5.01, Ibook is not working.
    When selecting Ibook, the software tries to open and then closes immediately.
    Any solutions?
    Thanks

    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    Quit IBooks and restart. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus (-) sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

  • Podcasts app not refreshing new content?

    Hi, my podcasts app is not refreshing new content for last 4 days, is anyone else facing the same issue?

    Hello there, ikgandhi.
    The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great steps to review for issues with the Podcasts app for iOS:
    Podcasts app for iOS: Managing subscriptions
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6190
    Default settings: From your Home screen, tap Settings and then Podcasts. These settings are shared by all of your podcast subscriptions. These are known as default podcast settings.
    Refresh Every: You can choose how often your iOS device checks for new episodes to your subscriptions. It's set to check every six hours by default.
    Limit Episodes: You can pick how many episodes you see for subscriptions.
    Download Episodes: The latest episodes of your podcasts will download automatically if your iOS device is connected to Wi-Fi.
    Delete Played Episodes: If this is turned on, episodes will delete 24 hours after you finish playing them.
    Use Cellular Data: If your iOS device has a cellular connection, you can allow downloads to use cellular data when Wi-Fi isn't available. This is off by default. Downloads using cellular data are limited to 100MB per episode. If an episode is larger than that, it won't start downloading until you're connected to Wi-Fi.
    Podcast-specific settings: The second place you'll find subscription settings is within the Podcasts app. Tap a podcast subscription under My Podcasts and pull down with one finger to reveal the settings buttons. These settings are unique to each subscription. If you don't change anything here, the podcast subscription will just use the default settings. If you do make changes to a specific subscription’s settings, they'll only apply to that podcast.
    Play: This setting lets you change the order in which a subscription plays. If you're listening to a news style podcast, you may want to set this to play the new episodes first. If the series is more episodic, you may prefer to play oldest to newest.
    Sort Order: This changes the sort order of episodes that appear for a podcast (not its playback order).
    Subscribed: When this is on, new episodes of this podcast will be marked as unplayed as they become available.
    Refresh Every: You can choose how often your iOS device checks for new episodes to your subscriptions. It's set to check every six hours by default.
    Limit Episodes: You can pick how many episodes you see for subscriptions.
    Download Episodes: The latest episodes of your podcasts will download automatically.
    Delete Played Episodes: If this is on, episodes will be deleted 24 hours after you finish playing them unless you've marked them as Saved.
    Inactive subscriptions
    If you do not play or access a subscription within 15 days, your subscription to that podcast will go inactive and you will no longer receive updates to it. As soon as you access the subscription again it will refresh. 
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.

  • Apps don't work after sync

    After syncing iPhone to iTunes (on Mac), I can not use any of my downloaded apps until I download a new one. I think this has to do with the fact that iTunes is linked to [email protected] while the iphone insists on using [email protected] If this is the case Apple really needs to fix it to allow users to use mac.com on their iPhones. I've had a .mac account since the service came out and do not plan on telling all my acquaintances to use me.com now. I know mac.com will work for incoming mail (dns points to the same server) but the whole thing is silly. Anyway, is anyone else having the same issue?

    I have not experienced the same.
    I've had a .Mac account since 2004 with my .Mac email address used for my iTunes account since that time, and my iPhone does not insist on using at me.com instead since the change to MobileMe. For those with a .Mac account, when creating the account with the iPhone's Mail application using the MobileMe account preset and entering their .Mac email address, the account should be created accordingly, not switched to the @me address to appear as the sending email address, or switched to the @me address for the iTunes account if iTunes on their computer is logged in with their @mac address when syncing their iPhone with iTunes.
    Apple hasn't prevented using your .Mac email address with the iPhone's Mail application, or with the Mail.app on your Mac, or with any email client on any computer or device.

  • HTC Weather App not updating (diff issue-sync issue)

    Okay so let start off by saying I have the 2.2 Froyo Software.
    If you add a widget, theres is a widget called "sync all"; whether it is a new one from 2.2 I dont know but lets move on.  I have that widget on one of my screens.  Periodically I will hit that sync button because I refuse to have it enabled all the time for it to update on its own.
    So we should all know that by sync'ing it updates: Backup Contacts/Twitter/Weather/News/Stocks and maybe more.
    However after hitting that sync button, minutes on end my temperature is the same; my weather is not updated.
    If you were to go into Settings>Accounts and Sync>scroll down to Weather and click it; it will say that the weather was in fact updated but the home screen widget is not updating.
    Even if you were to manually update it via the settings/accounts and sync/weather and then click weather update, the status will say it has been updated but the homescreen widget will not budge.
    I called HTC after talking to Verizon and HTC also had noted that it too wasnt updating for him either.
    I am a user that has everything disabled. But while I await for replies, I will enable everything and start checking things off one by one to see which thing it needs to function.
    I dont have Background Data Enabled
    I turn off Bluetooth-Wifi-and all locations.
    OH and PS: if I go into the weather app and choose the update from that screen; YES it will change temperatures and weather but not by performing a sync.
    Again HTC noted the same issue; thought it was a software glitch but last time I called them on this issue was well over a month + ago
    Has anyone else noted the same thing?  Thanks

    the background data needs to be checked in order for the weather to update once you perform a sync; everything else you can leave unchecked

  • IBooks aren't loading properly after installing iOS 7, iBooks aren't loading properly after installing iOS 7

    After installing iOS 7, iBooks doesn't work well.
    I have to log into my iTunes account before I can read the book that I've already downloaded and started reading.
    I also have problems logging in to iTunes and often have to do a complete shutdown and restart before I can log in.
    It's very frustrating and if I don't have connectivity, I can't read any books!
    How do I get this fixed?

    Hi Dee12124,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    I am going to get you to do a soft reset that, I will hope fix some of your issues.
    To do this:
    1. Press and hold the Home button (big circle below the screen) and the Sleep/Wake button (on top of the iPhone) simultaneously.
    2. Continue holding both buttons until the iPhone shuts off and begins to restart. This will take anywhere from 10-20 seconds.
    3. When you see the Apple Logo, you can let go of the buttons.
    If this still doesn't fix your device, what we could do is try resetting the whole device, wiping it. If this is the case, get back to me and I will pose the steps below. I would recommend that you do this AFTER the device is backedup however.
    Before you restore your device
    Make sure you’re using the latest version of iTunes.
    Use iTunes to back up your device. Transfer and sync any additional content to your computer.
    Turn off Find My iPhone in Settings > iCloud on your device to disable Activation Lock.
    Restore your iOS device
    Connect your iOS device to your computer using the cable that came with it.
    Select your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch when it appears in iTunes. In the Summary panel, click Restore.
    Click Restore again to confirm that you want to restore your device to factory settings and delete all data and content. iTunes will download the iOS software file and restore your iOS device.
    After your iOS device is restored to factory settings, it will restart. Once it does, you’ll see the "Slide to set up” welcome screen. Follow the steps in the iOS Setup Assistant. You can set up your device as new or using a previous backup. If your iOS device has cellular service, it will activate after you restore.
