IBooks does not open. It only briefly shows an empty bookcase. I have all my important .pdf reference documents in my library. I was never able to figure out how to backup ibooks. I am afraid to reinstall the apps risking loss of data. Any way to save?
IBooks will not open with new ipad and upgraded iOS. It only opens briefly to show an empty bookcase. I installed the most recent update of iBooks. In apps store it says 'open'. But the same thing happens...a brief flash. Strangely, the image and list of my collection actually shows in miniature with all the open apps; so I can close it as I do any other app.
I have all my important .pdf reference documents in my library. I am afraid to reinstall the apps risking loss of data. I was never able to figure out how to backup ibooks. Any way to save without access to the program?
Now that you have your PDFs on your computer's iTunes library you could try deleting and redownloading the app, and then sync the PDFs back to it - as long as you continue to keep a copy of the PDFs on your computer (and preferably on a backup as well) then if the same thing happens again then you could delete and reinstall again (you shouldn't have any problems with the iBooks app, but then you shouldn't have had a problem this time either).
You could try GoodReader (you could have the most important PDFs in both) - but the current version on iOS 7 isn't getting very good reviews in terms of its speed and crashes (it's description page says that a major update is coming soon).

I deleted my App Store Icon today on my Iphone 5S and I don't know how to get it back. I actually deleted it. Can I restore it or get it back somehow?
I don't know of any way to delete the App Store app -- it's one of the built in apps that isn't supposed to be able to be deleted. Have you checked in all of the home screens and folders to see if it is somewhere else?

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 ?

I upgraded to the iphone 4S yesterday, ive got my contacts-apps-music back but I've not been able to figure out how to get my ringtones back? I purchased many tones with my 3G I assumed they would go back on my new one with everything else..
The iPad is looking for a 4 digit passcode that you used to lock the device. Did you set a 4 digit code when you set up your iPad? You need to enter that code in order to unlock it. If you don't know the code, you will have to restore the iPad in order to unlock it.
Read this for more information.

I want to know if I can use my iCould storage simply to back up files. If so, I have not been able to figure out how.
Currently, only Apple apps (Pages, Numbers, etc.) can back up
data to iCloud. There is no way to use it to just simply backup any files.
There are some workarounds to get some data stored.
PDFs and any other document that can be read by Preview
can be backed up in iCloud. Load the document into Preview,
select Export..., click on the directory dropdown, then select
iCloud as destination. Not a drag and drop solution or an
all encompassing method, but you can get some stuff saved. -
Living in Japan and I'm an American who just signed up with Soft Bank the phone service here and spent a TON of money on an iPhone. I can't figure out how to connect my bank account at home to my app account so I can Skype my family. Please help!!!! I don't have a credit card nor do they gove debit cards to foreigners here, or at least it's really hard so I'm using my bank at home and still have a debit there. My phone number is 8 numbers plus the country code which is strange! Another thing is I was given a phone email that I was told to use for texting but I'm not sure how that works!! It's so frustrating too because no one speaks English here and I'm not very tech savvy. God bless you if you can help :)
whichever app store you are connecting to, hyou need a credit card with an address in that country. Also, itunes gift cards must be in local currency too.
If you are in japan, you need to use the japan app store -
i am using numbers in the new iWork. Just bought it 10 days back. I am not able to figure out how to add serial umbers from 1 to 100( for example) also i need to freeze the top header like in windows so that we can browse down without the heading going off. Can some one help?
Hi Jay,
Be aware that "Freeze Header Rows" and "Freeze Header Columns" apply only to rows and columns that are Header rows or Header columns. You can have up to five Header rows, Five Header Columns (and five Footer rows) on a Numbers Table.
"Header rows" is a special designation. Besides being able to be frozen, Header and Footer rows are not included in formulas referencing whole columns, making it possible to place formulas such as =SUM(B) at the top (or bottom) of column B without causing a self-reference error, These designated rows are also not included in sorts of the rows in a table.

I have an iphone 4 and downloaded my first movie (hd) onto my PC (windows 7) I have not been able to figure out how to transfer the move to my iphone. The movie is in a new tab called "rented" not under the "movie" tab. All of the support I have read talks about the movie being in the "movies" tab. I cannot use the "move" function or the "transfer" function because they are not available. Is this an issue because I just updated to the newest software?
In order to download to your phone over the air, you need to be connected to WiFi.
It's possible the Internet connection through Verizon is not stable enough for the downlaod to begin (it is a very large download).
You might want to head over to Starbucks with your laptop for the afternoon and see if you can download it over their WiFi. -
I downloaded photos from my MacBook to my new iPhone4S. I discovered several duplicates and would like to delete them. I have not been able to figure out how to do so. Please help?
Thanks for your reply. Although I haven't tried yet, I think I will be able to use the photos on my phone, which have been paired, to find the dups in iPhoto and delete them there. Previously it was very difficult to search for and find the duplicates on the computer. Now I should be able to use the paired photos on the iPhone to find and delete the dups on the computer. Then I will sync the phone again. I think that should work; I hope you agree.

For anyone who has used "Smilebox" for greeting cards: I can take video made in Photo Booth and use in my Smilebox greetings and I can use photos from iPhoto to use there also. I have not been able to figure out how to take clips from iMovie for use with Smilebox.

Issue 1 Bridge does not open. If you click on the application multiple times in trying to get it to load... it shows the app multiple times in the TASK BAR Manager.
Sounds like you may need to restart the computer Braswels.
Try that and see if it resolves the issue. -
I have an apple iphone 4 that I want to download audio books from my library onto. I cannot figure out how to do that. The iphone does not show up on my mac laptop as a connected device. Does this kind of download have to run through itunes? Thanks
Yes it is done through iTunes. The iPhone will never show up in Finder as a device. The following is general information on iTunes sync: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1386 and the following is a previous discussion where the post by Andreas Junge helped others that had a problem syncing audiobooks: https://discussions.apple.com/message/20052732#20052732

My computer is full and I need to remove movies and tv shows out of itunes and save them in an external hard drive. I cant figure out how to save them so I will be able to access them again. Or store them in the cloud
Do not store them in the Cloud. It isn't really storage. For iTunes purchases, for example, it is just re-downloading a purchase. If a label decides to no longer make the item available it will disap[pear from the cloud and that will be it for you.
You can't store items on an external drive simply by dragging them there. That's too complicated for iTunes and how it is set up to work. I know I post on this 10x a week and there's many other posts discussing this. I suggest you browse a bit first. Your options are basically to either put your whole library on the eternal drive (which is a nuisance if you don't want to drag it everywhere with you), or to copy individual items to the external drive, delete them from the internal drive, then re-add them as new items (re-adding to playlists, etc.). -
I downlaoded itunes to my computer and i cant not figure out how to authorize it even after i visited the website for help
You should be able to do it via the Store drop-down menu at the top of iTunes - if you are using iTunes on a PC then try pressing Alt-S and the Store menu should appear.
