Ibooks from my library vanished

Help! most of my library just vanished!

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.
Or - reset the iPad.
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.
Or delete the iBooks app and reinstall it and see if any of those things help. If you delete the app - backup your iPad first.

  • IS THERE A WAY TO DELETE A PURCHASE FROM IBOOKS FROM THE LIBRARY AND ICLOUD, OR AT LEAST A WAY TO HIDE WHAT YOU'VE PURCHASED IN THIS NEW APP?

    Dear Apple, my name is Jack, and I recently upgraded my computer to the new OSX 10.9, which included among many other apps the iBooks one, in this new iBooks app for Mac I accidentally downloaded by mistake a sort of obscene japanese comic book, since the moment that this happened I've been trying to remove this content from my iBooks library, which is being impossible due to the fact that even if a successfully delete the book with the backspace key it still appears but with an iCloud symbol, and if I go to my iCloud settings theres no options to stop iBooks form sharing this on iCloud for there is no "iBooks" option on iCloud settings, I even followed a Tutorial on the apple web page about hiding your purchases that explains how to, but in this new version of iTunes there is no such option as "connect" under the Store menu of iTunes, or even if I make my way to my iTunes purchases this new iBook purchases does not appear. I just want to be able to open my new iBooks app without having to see this obscene japanese comic book all over the app. My request is for you people to add an option to completely remove books from the library and from iCloud, please, so far these new OSX was amazing and this is the very first time I have something to complain about.

    Well as a matter of fact, I already found the solution. The option is a little bit hidden, and this will remove your purchases completely from the library and iCloud. What you have to do is this: 1.- Open iBooks app, and the first thing you will get it's your library, then at the top left corner of the window click on iBooks Store. Once iBooks store is open you will have four options at the top: "Featured", "Top Charts", "Categories" and "Top Authors", you have to click on "Featured" or "Categories" it's the same but you have to be on any of those two.
    2.- Once you are in "Featured" or "Categories" at the right side of the window there's going to be your email address that you use as your apple id, and in "Categories"  you will see at the right side the topic "All Categories"  and bellow that you will see your email address again. Doesn't matter if you are on categories or featured the option bellow your apple id is going to be QUICK LINKS, and bellow that there's gonna be four options: Account. Purchased, Redeem and Support. Click on Purchased.
    3.-Once you clicked on purchased and the Purchased window is open you will see in the middle of the window two options : "All" and "Not in my Library", click on "All", then you will have all your purchases, there you will only have to put the cursor on the book you want to completely delete, but without clicking on it, just putting the cursor in the book and a black cross will appear at the top left corner of the book, click on the cross, if it ask you are sure you want to hide or delete the content just click the affirmative option.
    4.- In the top left corner click library again, once in your library you have to find the options that are at the very top of your screen, the ones that are in the same bar as your computer name, date and time, volume and in the case of macbooks the wifi signal and the battery. Those options are: iBooks, File, Edit, View, Go, Store, Window and Help. Click on "View" , when you get all the options of "View" you'll have to find the one that says "Show Purchases in iCloud" and most likely would have a check mark, if it does not have a check mark close it and skip to step 5, if it does have a check mark just click on this option so the check mark disappears.
    5.- Last step. Now you just have to close the app, completely, so go to your dock and give a secondary click on iBooks app and on the secondary click options click Quit. Just open iBooks again and there will be there no more.
    Hope this is of some help to any of you, and sorry if this was tricky or if I'm not very good at explaining. I figured this by myself so if any of you does not get this explanation just send me an email, I'll be happy to help you with it.

  • Why my Flagged photos vanished from photo library after I clicked to number next to it??

    Why my Flagged photos vanished from photo library?

    There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
    - History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    - Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
    Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

    You can't currently delete items from your Purchased page, all you can do is hide (and unhide) them : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919

  • How do I uninstall iBooks from my MacBook Pro?

    how do I uninstall iBooks from my MacBook Pro if a message pops up saying: "iBooks app cannot be modified or deleted because its requires by OS X"???

    No, you're missing the entire forest and the trees.  Whatever it is you are trying to accomplish by hacking iBooks off of your system, it is not an informed decision that will benefit you in any way.  To increase rather than decrease the load on iTunes by returning the book library view to it would tend to make iTunes worse, wouldn't it?  Certainly, not being able to open your books there in any way can't be an improvement.  If you have books that used to show up in iTunes, and that is where you want them displayed, then you have books that will be read on iBooks on iOS or OS X.  If you're just shifting ePubs into some other reader on your mobile devices, you wouldn't put them into your iTunes library at all, and iBooks would be empty anyway. 
    And beside that, you're hosed in Yosemite with those maneuvers, so again, accomplishing absolutely nothing but scratching a very silly itch that is much worse as the rash you're creating.  Did you delete the unnecessary keyboards and language files first, because that will save a lot more space.  Did you cull the unnecessary kexts for your hardware?  You know, things that actually do something valuable with a measurable benefit and no downside.  If iBooks is such a pressure on your life that you have to get rid of it, how would you know?  Do you torture yourself by opening iBooks everyday and then screaming in pain?  If you can live without it installed, then you would not normally be opening it anyway, so it would have about the same affect on you as Migration Assistant or Chess, unless you deliberately sought it out.

  • Can I download ibooks from my mac to my kindle?

    Can I transfer iBooks from my MacBook Pro to my Kindle ereader?

    Yes, but not always. IBooks are in the epub format, and your Kindle will not be able to open that format. If the book is not protected by DRM you can use the free ebook library app Calibre to convert the book to a compatible file, like .mobi, and send it to your Kindle. If the book has DRM protection you can't.

  • How to share an ibook from my ipad2 to wife's ipad2?

    How to share an ibook from my ipad2 to wife's ipad2?

    Unless both ipads were set up with the same Apple ID, there really isn't.
    This does depend on the app however. I don't read iBooks, but there are some e-reader apps like Kindle that may allow you to 'loan' the book to someone else. Or, using an e-reader app, the book can be 'checked out' of a library that supports downloaded books. You have an account, 'borrow' the file, use an e-reader app to read it, and have a certain time frame in which to finish reading.

  • HT2905 When i delete an unwanted song from my library, the next time i switch pc on, the song is back in my library, it must be in the cloud so how do i remove it from the cloud.

    How can i delete an unwanted song from itunes cloud, each time i delete it from my library, it comes back again the next time i switch on.

    Hi harryhal!
    You may want to make sure that your preference for showing iTunes in the Cloud purchases is turned off:
    Downloading past purchases from the iTunes Store, App Store, and iBooks Store
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519
    Make sure that you have "Show iTunes in the Cloud Purchases" enabled in your iTunes preferences by going to iTunes > Preferences in the Store tab and clicking OK.

  • The album downloaded except one song. It says purchased rather than play and there is no option to try and download the one song that had an error.  I deleted the song name from our library, but it still won't let me download. Any advice?

  • How can I retrieve my iBooks from the cloud?

    When I tap on the iBooks app the library is blank.  My books are not there anymore.  How can I retrieve them from the cloud?

    Are these books you purchased (using the same Apple ID you are using on your iPad) in the iBooks Store?
    If so, open iBooks, click "Store", then "Purchased" and you can re-download them from there.

  • Sync iBooks From iPAD to iPhone

    Please follow the steps below to figure out how to Sync iBooks From iPAD to iPhone
    Before Starting: Settings For Both Devices
    1. Settings > iBooks > Sync Collections > On
    Then...
    1. Sync iPAD with iTunes.
    2. File > Transfer Purchases From iPAD (this should transfer those books your purchased on your iPAD onto your iTunes)
    3. Un-sync iPAD from computer
    4. Sync iPhone
    5. Store > Purchased > Drag book(s) from the "Purchased folder" to your iPhone (this should transfer your book(s) from iTunes onto your iPhone)

    No, this is not necessary or correct. It's not necessary to transfer to and from the iTunes library. When you sign into your iBooks account on each device you have iBooks installed in:
    iBooks > Store > Purchased > shows everything you bought > download from there wirelessly.

  • HT4059 how do I trasnfer my ibooks from my iphone to my itunes on the computer

    Does anyone know how I can transfer my books from ibooks to my computer's itunes library?

    If they are ibooks from Apple then you should be able to re-download them on the iPad via the Purchased tab in the ibookstore in the iBooks app. Or you can copy them from your iPhone to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases (File > Devices > Transfer Purchases on iTunes 11) and then sync them to the iPad (they should copy over to the Books part of your computer's iTunes library)

    Yes it is done through iTunes. The iPhone will never show up in Finder as a device.
