IBooks disappeared on iPad

About 20 purchased books disappeared from iBooks. How do I get them back? They were on my iPad.

No they are never permanently lost because they are associated with your apple id.you can redownload them without re-purchasing.if you activate automatic downloads, they would be downloaded automatically.if you don't activate that option, you can manually download them again from the store

HT204365 Why did all my PDF files disappear from ibooks on my iPad

All of my PDF files disappeared from iBooks on my iPad. Where and why did they suddenly disappear? How can I retrieve them?

As far as I can work out, from incomplete downloads, ticks denote all downloaded ok.
The manually manage option is for those who want to tailor their library collections in Music and Video to specific items. If you have this ticked, then it will sync with the sync selections in your devices pages (eg, Music, videos).
If you want to sync all of your collection 'all' the time, leave manually manage off and put the a tick in the devices' page to sync all items Dependent on iCloud use, and or automatic download options in iTunes, new purchased items are added and synced automatically as they are added - this only applies to Store purchased items.
If you are going to added content outside of the Store, then Manually Manage is the option to take for Music and Videos - it does not affect anything else. IE Apps or podcasts, etc.
If you have manually manage off, and 'selected playlist' option ticked, then it will sync existing ticked items, but new items downloaded will require you tick them (a) after the next iTunes automatic download when it connects to the store and downloads any items, or (b) you download to a device and then sync the device, in which case it transfers the new download to your library - but, as happened to you, deletes it from your idevice.
Retcicking and resyncing will add the item back on next sync.
Don't forget that whenever making any kind of manual change to hit Apply and resync, to stop changes being lost.
However, and i cannot stress this enough, iTunes is very problematic, especially when handling large collections. Its sync operations can be erratic or non-functional at times (even buggy perhaps)
If all options fail, then go to your program installation control folder (Control panel\Programs etc on windows) and select to repair iTunes.
And if you have not already got it

may prove usefiul to you.

After updating iBooks on my iPad all my PDFs disappeared how do I get them back? I reinstalled the app again and they showed up and thn they disappeared, what is going on?

By reinstalling do you mean that you deleted the app and redownloaded it ? Deleting an app will remove the app and its contents. Do you have copies of the PDFs in the Books part of your computer's iTunes library so that you can sync them back ?

After installing iOS 8 for my iPad all my PDF files in iBooks disappeared.

After installing iOS 8 for my iPad Air, all my PDF files in iBooks disappeared.

Did you back these books up to your computer before updating to iOS 8? It is always suggested that you back everything up before updating, so if something goes wrong, you can easily put them back on.
You should just be able to plug the device into the computer you sync to and they should sync as long as you have "Sync Books" ticked in the books section.

How do I restore bookmarks in iBooks on my iPad after upgrading to iOS7? (Note: restore was done from an old iCloud backup)

Thanks in advance for the help.
Here are the details:
-Upgraded iPad to iOS7
-All of my iBooks needed to be re-downloaded as a result
-The bookmarks in each iBook disappeared
How can I get them back? This was across multiple books.

Yes, if I right click on a profile in the profile manager when I start Firefox it shows me the path to the profile. It is in the AppData\Roaming section.
For the sake of brevity I haven't typed in the full path name, just enough to let you know where I am putting them, I hope.
I put it there. No good.
I just looked at the profile I restored to the AppData\Local section ( it seems Firefox puts a copy there too ) and merged the one that showed the Cache folders which came from my backup disk with the profile of the same name in the Roaming section.
Still no go. No bookmarks showing up. If I click on the profile folder it shows the Cache files etc. are all there but it doesn't do anything.
This has gotten very aggravating. All files seem to be where they should be but it doesn't work.

After downloading Ios500 and iCloud, my saved iBook disappeared with my saved books? Any assistance ?

After downloading Ios5.1.1, and iCloud, my iBook disappeared from home screen with my saved books,,, has any one experience the same or can help? Please

They should show in the Purchased tab in the ibookstore in the iBooks app for re-downloading (re-downloading). If you updated to iOS 5.1.1 via your computer's iTunes were the books in your computer's iTunes library (did you do File > Transfer Purchases before updating) ? If the books weren't on your computer's iTunes then the update process wouldn't have been able to copy them back to your iPad after installing 5.1.1 on it.

Not all ibooks syncing between ipad and iphone

I am trying to sync about 1500 ibooks from my ipad mini to my iphone 6 but it will only sync about 1400. I transferred all purchases from my mini to itunes and then synced my iphone but certain ibooks will appear then disappear or will only open to a blank white screen then disappear. Not sure what happen or how to fix this. All started happening after ios8.

On your phone go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Account (in the Contact section). If you have this setting, make be sure you have selected iCloud as your default account and not something else like On My iPhone, Google, Yahoo, an Exchange account, etc. If iCloud is not selected, make this change then add a new test contact and see if it appears in your contacts on icloud.com and your other devices now.
If you don't have the Default Account setting, or if it is set to iCloud but new contacts added to your phone still aren't appearing on icloud.com, add any missing contacts from your phone to your contacts on icloud.com. Once the contacts on icloud.com are up to date, go to Settings>iCloud, turn Contacts off, choose Delete from My iPhone when prompted (they will still be in iCloud), then after a few seconds turn Calendars back on. Then add a new test contact on your phone and see if it appears on your calendar on icloud.com and your other devices now.

Is there a way to copy all my PDfs in ibooks on my iPad?

Because I'm still sorting out an issue with ibooks on the iMac renaming files so they do not match the names on my iPad, I am wondering if there is a way to copy all the pdfs I have in ibooks on my ipad (without doing each one, one at a time) so I can save a copy in Evernote or dropbox so when I sync and update shortly, I don't loose what I have?
Thanks for any help you can offer.
Michelle

Thank you.Ok say for e.g.
500 video files imported in fcpx
800 clips extracted from these obviously on the timeline and joined/compounded according to their content in say 15 layers according to 15 instruments used ,so now just to see the entire usable footage ....
now one 7 minute song sequence has to be made where bits would be simultaneously taken from these 15 layers as all instruments are playing simultaneously
these shots are not more than 2 secs each according to the beat........
when I try to work with these 15 layers as well as the Final primary layer that I'm making in the same timeline my fcpx becomes slow
but when I drag individual layer to individual timelines it is fine so that is the only option
but now for every 2 second bit I have to go back to the 15 layered timeline and find one single suitable shot
So I was wondering is there a way to be able to see these layers and clips on the timeline in the browser in a systematic fashion like the way we get with keywords ?
and keywords can only be used in the imported clips already in the browser ,and not after we drag it on the timeline.....
Till now I think exporting and importing back is the only option ...but is there another work around ?

When trying to load multiple language versions of an ibook onto my iPad only the first document loads

We have a sales tool that we have created for one of our clients in iBooks Author. They need the iBook creating in various languages.
We need to be able to supply the multiple versions of the same document (in the different languages) to our client and they need to be able to install the different versions onto their iPads. And they want the options of having multiple language versions on the same iPads.
We have already created two language versions of the document (a US English and an International English version).
The two documents have different file names, (although they are based on the same document). We have just changed the spelling of some words accordingly. (And we will be producing other language variants based on the master file).
We export the two documents via the File > Export > iBooks option. Then we are using Dropbox to upload the two files. The files are then accessed via the Dropbox App on the iPad.
We can download the first document (International English) onto the iPad and view it as normal, but when we try and then download the other document (US English) it downloads in the Dropbox App, but when you click on view in iBooks it opens the first (International English) document into iBooks.
You can only appear to have one version of the document installed at any one time. If you delete the first one you can then load the second one fine, but not both at the same time. If the file names are different it must be getting the identity of the document from somewhere else.
This has only started happening since using iBooks Author 2.
Can anyone offer any suggestions please. I've tried changing the version number in the option on export, but this doesn't seem to affect the result.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions
John

Further to my earlier post we have now completed a test by saving our original document as a template, then creating a new document from the template, making necessary changes and saving as a new file. We can now upload the two separate versions to our iPad.
You cannot "duplicate" the file in any way, either by the File > Duplicate method from within iBooks Author or by simply Duplicating the original .iba file in the Finder, as this will cause the problem outlined above. By Duplicating you are obviously also duplicating this "hidden metadata" which is stored somewhere within the file which iBooks on the iPad is using to identify the documents. So unless Apple update the software to allow us to change that metadata we are stuck to using the Templates route. (Didn't have this problem on the last version of iBooks Author).
This works for what we are trying to do, which is create different language variants of the same book.
Working from Templates is probably the correct way to do it anyway, but might not necessarily be right for everyone.
Working in iBooks Author is proving to be a rather testing experience. You certainly need the patience of a Saint. Not sure it's of the standard we expect from Apple, but then I guess, as they are giving it away "free", they think they don't have to offer any support for it.
I think I would prefer to pay a fee for it and have a support route from Apple, rather than rely on a community of equally frustrated users who are all playing guinea pig and simply sharing their workarounds for a half baked product.
Good luck to everyone!!!

How to transfer iBooks from one iPad account to another.

I am a teacher who will be taking on a new role at the school. The school is going to give me an iPad with all the literature books the students will be reading. These books were purchased through iBooks. I already have an iPad and was curious if there was a way to transfer the books on their iPad, which were purchased through iBooks, to my iPad.
Thanks in advance.

You can restore the new iPad using an iCloud or iTunes back up (assuming you have all of those apps backed up), or simply redownload them from the App store or sync via itunes.

I have multiple phantom books in ibooks on my iPad.They are no longer on my mac, but continue to show up as multiple ghost- unfinished downloads on iPad

I have multiple copies of phantom books in ibooks on my ipad. By phantom I mean, that they appear to be partially downloaded. They will not resume downloading or allow deletion. None of these books are on my mac, they have been deleted. These are books were not purched from the apple store, they are simply book files that I had on my mac. Any ideas on how to rid myself of these pesky epub and pdf files? Thanks Dan

Hello dallentownsend
Try deleting iBooks app from your iPad and then download the app again to remove any previous books that were downloaded or attempted to download. Then just download your books purchased again.

When I try to buy ibooks from my ipad, the virtual keyboard is not the same as my computer, and so as my password consists of numbers, letters and symbols my ipad keeps showing that my password is incorrect! Is there any way around this problem please?

Are you using the virtual keyboard to input your password and you cannot see/find the characters you need on that keyboard?
Or are you trying to use a bluetooth keyboard and pressing the printed key does not produce the right character?

.pdf files in iBooks on my iPad don't show in iBooks on my iMac. Why?

when i installed iBooks on my iMac, only my purchased books show in the library. PDF files I stored in iBooks on my iPad are not showing. Any ideas how I sync the pdf files? They use a common Apple ID and I use iCloud for the iPad backup.

Did you try using the transfer purchase feature of iTunes? I know that these may not be purchased PDF files, and it is only supposed to work with iTunes purchases, but I have done this myself with PDF files in iBooks.
iTunes Store: Transfer purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
This feature works only for audio, video, and apps that you purchased from the iTunes Store. Any items that you imported from audio CDs or acquired from other sources won't copy from your device to the iTunes library. However, copies of all PDFs and books from your device's iBooks app will transfer to the computer, regardless of whether they were purchased from the iBooks Store.

How can i get an older version of Ibooks for my Ipad 1?

how can i get an older version of Ibooks for my Ipad 1?
Since I have Ibooks 3.0.2 I can't start Ibooks on my Ipad1.

For iBooks try downloading the current version on your computer's iTunes so that the app is in your purchase history. Then on your iPad go to the Purchased tab in the App Store app and see if you can download an older compatible version of it.
You can also try similar for the Kindle app - I don't know whether Amazon have made older versions of their app available in the store, so it may not work for that. If not, then as a work-around you could use their cloud reader 'app' : http://read.amazon.com - go to that site on Safari on your iPad and then create a homescreen shortcut for it (kindle cloud reader help)
