IBooks app/PDF issue

Hello,
I have a book in PDF format. When trying to get it ion my iPad, only the text was transfered, but none of the pictures. (Just blank where pictures are supposed to be with the leggend present). I can see the pictures and all when opening it in iTune.
Tried to delete and re-download the pdf, but no success.
BTW, same issue on my iPhone 4.
Any suggestions??

IBooks (PDF issues) - already posted from others in different ways ;-)

Hello everyone!
Problems with iPad 3G/32GB with iOS 4.2.1 and iBooks 1.2.1(335); no modifications like "Jailbreaked"
PDFs that shown up already in iBooks aren't anymore accessible after upgraded to the iBooks Ver. shown above. The PDFs still remain checked for Sync in the iTunes Section Books, in the device view.
I use collections to organize, mostly PDFs, in my library.
Interesting thing, most of my Books are PDFs purchased from O'Reilly's SafariOnline - these are still available!
PDFs like downloaded iPad UserManuel are not longer shown up in the Bookshelf (they do in iTunes as described above!).
Also the last three LinuxJournals are gone, the newest one just downloaded today is visible in the library as well as synced properly against iTunes.
So I would say its a strange behavior of the iBooks app.
I completely removed iBooks from iPad as well as iTunes, reinstalled it - issue still remaining the same, this still needed PDFs aren't available anymore.
Did anyone of you filled already a support case having the same issue as described above with Apple?
Thanks for your replies and statements!
Have a great day!
Stefan.

What version of iOS are you running?
What you are describing typically occurs with single page PDFs (but not always). You should still be able to tap and hold to get the menu that allows you to open the file in other apps, including iBooks.

Where is the iTunes 'Books' library? Want to add pdf to iBook app

I have been looking for over an hour... there is nothing on my computer screen for iTunes that says 'Books' - I want to bring a pdf book into iBooks. How can I do this. Previously answered questions on this say to drag the pdf to the 'Books' library which would be fine if it existed. Off to the left of my screen I see only "Movies, Music, TV Shows and Apps" then Store and then Purchased and then my iPad which is plugged in.
Can someone help me solve this issue I have every time I want to add a book to iTunes to the iBook app on my iPad, I have already gone to File > Add to Library and it acts like something happened but there is no PDF book showing up in iBooks or my Adobe Acrobat app. What am I doing wrong?
TIA,
Ken

I found the app and put it on the dock and added the pdf but in iTunes it wants me to do a dangerous action, removing all music tones,,, and a long list of other things, like books that don't show up in this new iBook app on my Mac, I don't want to risk losing all of my PDF books and other books that are now on my iPad. Things get sticky and I've already lost tons of stuff by upgrading to Maverick in the first place. I think the warning message was enough motivation for me to forget about iBook and use another more friendly app like iAnnotate to bring in PDF files. Whew, well at least I know that there are apps out there that can be more friendly than the Apple apps., like I've abandoned 'Notes' and am now using Evernote which keeps backups in the cloud which updates to all of my divices. Thanks sberman, you did lead me to the correct answer on this. I'm just not going to chance losing everything.

You should be able to just place them in your Books library in iTunes and check to ensure that your Book library is configured to sync to your iPod when you sync your iPod to iTunes.

I can't open pdf files with Ibooks app. The files open for some seconds and then they disappear! Thanks

Files open and disappear in few seconds!

It sounds like the app is crashing for whatever reason. Start with simple, easy things.
Quit iBooks and restart the iPad.
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.
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.
If those things do not help - you may want to consider deleting the iBooks app and reinstall it. Make sue that all of your books and pdf files have been backed up and synced with iTunes before you delete the app.

sure pretty simple. make a backup of your current settings
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766?viewlocale=en_US
then restore device from old backup you need pics off of
then import pics to computer
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
you may need to save pics to camera roll first
then restore the new backup and sync pics back to phone via itunes

HT5071 It is possible for me to distribute my book as a PDF/word and on the Ibooks app?

Hello,
So I am currently writing a book, and I am curious to know if it is possible to distribute my book as a PDF/word and on the Ibooks app store. I intend on making the book a free download.

It's your content - you can distribute as you like, but as noted, only via the store when in .ibooks format. As a PDF, you can do whatever you want with it.
See iBooks Author: Publishing and distribution FAQ - Support

My iBooks app now displays all PDF's as "Untitled"

Good Morning:
My iPhone 3GS is now displaying all new PDF's with the title "Untitled" in my ibooks app. This started after the recent iBooks update. The previous PDF's I have on iBooks from before the update all have the titles of the PDF as it was listed in the Email that the PDF came from. How can I change this so that I will be able to see the PDF titles in iBooks again.
Thanks Very Much!

Update:
I went to the Genius Bar at a local Apple Store yesterday and was given the following steps that will remedy the problem with the PDF's
Drag and Drop PDF's directlty from MY Documents (if you are using a PC with Windows XP) and put the PDF's Directly into the Book section in the Library in iTunes.
Then Sync the iPhone in iTunes and the PDF's will display with the names you have chosen.
Do Not Email the PDF's and open them in iBooks or the PDF's will display with the name Untitled.
Note: Be sure to delete the PDF's that are displaying as "Untitled" from the iPhone first as well as the PDF's that are on iTunes as the original cryptic PDF File Name. Then Drag and Drop a fresh Copy of the PDF's and put them into iTunes. After syncing the PDF's will display in iBooks with the name you have chosen.

HT4059 I saved approx. 50 important PDF-Documents in ibooks-App. Now all of them are disappeared!

I did the last update at 7th of Nov. 2013 before I update my Ipad Mini to IOS 7 (V7.0.3) from IOS 6.
After the update all my PDF-doucments were available in ibooks-App.
Yesterday I would like to check one of the documents and the PDF-Folder in ibooks was empty.
So what happens??
If I restore my IPAD Mini with the last backup (07.11.2013) and I open the ibooks-App again I can see all the doucments, but only for a few seconds.
After that, it looks like they will be deleted and again no objects available any more in the PDF-Folder!!!
Further I did the update to V7.0.4 but nothing changed. After restore - same result!
Could it be, that there's is a bug in IOS7?
If you have any idea please let me know.
The documents are really necessary for me.
Thanks!

Are you backing the iPad up to to an OS X-based computer? Knowing more about the systems involved will help troubleshoot.

HT1386 Why didn't the the books and PDFs in my iBooks app on my iPhone transfer to my iPad 3 when I synced my iPad in iTunes on my computer

Why didn't the contents of my iBook app on my iPhone transfer to my new iPad 3 when I synced the iPad in iTunes on my computer.? HELP PLEASE

Are all books and PDF files available in the iBooks app on your iPhone available in your iTunes library on your computer?
If so, is this content selected under the Books tab for your iPad sync preferences with iTunes?

I can open iBooks App but it does not have any books or PDF's ... I tried bringing them in but no luck! Any solutions??

It's taken off both iPhone and the new iPad

You can insert the PDF that you want to have on iBooks trough iTunes using the library section "books", or simply drag and drop the PDF to iTunes and sync your iPhone, iPad.
You can also open a PDF on Safari and tap on open in iBooks at the top of screen.

How to sync books and PDFs on Mac iBook App to iPad iBook App

On Macbook, iBook used to be part of iTune. Now it is an independent component. Here is my problem. I found no way to sync the books and PDFs in iBook library on MacBook to my iPad. How can I sync?

You should be able to sync them in a similar way to how you used to sync them, it's just that now you use the iBooks app on your Mac to manage your ibooks/PDFs/epubs library on your Mac instead of within iTunes.
If you connect your iPad to your Mac's iTunes and select the iPad, one of the tabs across the top of the screen should be Books which you can use to select which of your Mac's iBooks library to sync to it e.g. with the left-hand sidebar in iTunes disabled (option-command-S) I see :

Not All iPad PDFs in Various Collections Appear in OS X Maverick iMac iBooks app.

I have a number of PDFs on my iPad categorized into a number of collections. After I upgraded my iMac from Mountain Lion to Maverick, some PDFs from one of my iPad collections ("Manuals") automatically appeared in the iMac iBooks app, but not all. How do I fix this?

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.
