IBooks on iPad not reading the library...
After the last upgrade, IBooks doesn't read the Library. The bookshelf appears empty on iPad.
But connecting to iTunes you can see that all the Books and Pdf are there.
Can somebody help me to solve this problem?
I have found the solution!
Short of it is : if you have a lot of PDF books, let iBooks do its thing for quite a while. I have 152 PDF books (I am scanning away my bookshelves into digital form), so it took about 30 minutes for iBooks on iPad to display them after the update.
So leave your iPad with iBooks running non-stop. Give it an hour if you need to. Your books should appear once the app has generated all the small icons and completed whatever other processes it needs to run before it shows the books on your shelves.
For those of you with time on your hands who want to know, here's the detailed troubleshooting sequence I went through...
I tried the above proposed solution of removing, and reinstalling the iBooks app. Still, my books did not appear on the iPad after synching. Interestingly, my books remained on the iPad after the app's removal. So I did a complete "Restore" of the iPad.
The restore didn't seem to help. On a hunch, I unchecked "Synch Books" under the Books tab. This removed all books. Checked again "Synch Books", all books downloaded back to the iPad. Still, none appeared.
I then checked "Selected Books" and chose only one book. After synch, great! This one showed.
So I checked a dozen more. They eventually showed, but this time it took a couple minutes for them to appear. Aha. I clicked back the "All Books" button. Waited for the download. After the synch, I opened iBooks app, then waited an extra 20 to 30 minutes, and voilà, my books showed again on the library shelves.
So if you have a lot of PDF books, give iBooks ample time to process, and your books should show up again in a while. Hope this helps YOU save time and troubleshooting mojo...

i have lost my photos/videos when i imported from my ipad 2 to my new imac latest version OS X 10.8.4
and it's not reading the files. I have downloaded iMac library manager and can see them. when i go back into iphoto i'm getting the following message :
Do you want to switch the current iPhoto Library from “iPhoto Library.photolibrary” to “iPhoto Library.photolibrary” and relaunch iPhoto?
I don't know what to do - please help !!!!
can someone shed some light please ?So it appears you have only one library on the hard drive. Apply the two fixes below in order as needed to that library:
Fix #1
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory. -
Why can my iBook on my iPad not find the book 'Cascadia's Fault' on iTunes?
Why can my iBook on my iPad not find the book 'Cascadia's Fault' on iTunes?
You could use the Apple Link Maker to create a link and email to those who say they cannot find it, may also have 50 free codes to distribute to aid your marketting, if you have a website, use the link maker to create a logo a insert into your website/FB/Twitter etc
Its your product .. you have to market it and make it as visible as possible to others, if you do thatwell and it sells in buckets.. Apple will be happy to move it up the list. -
The name of my wireless network in the form of my modem router is not read from the iPhone, while the first era.Il my ipad does not read the network but I surf the internet. Why? What can I do?
Can I use this DIR-635 to extend the WiFi network of the "Belgacom" WiFi?
To answer this question correctly, a user would need to have a DIR-635 router connected by Ethernet to a Belgacom router.
If you think about it, the chances of another user who has these two same devices configured this way and also being on an Apple support forum to see your post are about zero.
The following might work, but you will not know until you try.
Configure the DIR-635 to provide a wireless network that uses the exact same wireless network name, exact same wireless security and exact same password as the Belgacom wireless router. Make sure that the DIR-635 is configured in Bridge Mode.
Can I purchase and set-up an Apple Airport Express or Apple Airport Extreme on my level 1 (the ethernet cable running from level 2 to level 1 could plug-into either of those)
The AirPort Express or AirPort Extreme would need to be configured exactly the same way as mentioned above.
(What is the difference in the 2 -- one is about twice the price of the other…)

Got this msh from Piasa...any ideas? 'Could not read the iPhoto Library. The library at [file path] has a corrupted AlbumData.xml file.'
Contact Adobe support - that is not an iPhoto message - in general Piasa has no ability to access the iPhoto library - there have been hacks but often they do not worka nd can cause problems
You need to user either Picasa or iPHoto - using both on the same photos is problematic

Help required please. "Itunes can not read the contents of my iphone"
Greetings all,
I know this question has been asked before and I apologize for asking again but all the solutions provided don't seam to work for me, can anyone help me please.
I am receving the message: "Itunes can not read the contents of the iPhone. Go to the summary tab In iPhone Preferences and click restore torestore this Iphone to factory settings".
Now a little about my iphone, Itunes and my laptop and what steps i havealready tried.
I have an iPhone 4 running software 5.0
My itunes version is 10.5.0.142
I know these are not the most up to date versions but I have had this issue for almost 3 months now and updating the software back then was the first step I tried. I don’t believe updating to the latest will fix this issue as updating the last two times did nothing.
Every so often after starting Itunes, The program will stop responding and will require the three finger death kill (CTRL, ALT, DELETE) to open task manager to end the task of Itunes. Once it shuts down, I restart the iTunes and it runs smoothly, apart from not reading my iPhone.
When I run a diagnostic in itunes under the help tab, I get these fail messages:
Network Connectivity test: Secure link to Itunes store fail
Device connectivity test: Under support services: Itunes helper is not running. And under ports: No iPod, iPhone or iPad found.
Device Sync test: No iPod touch, iPhone or iPad found.
*See below for full diagnostic report*
I have restored back to factory settings twice.
I have shut down and restarted both my iPhone and laptop.
I am running Windows 7 32-bit on my laptop.
I am using ZoneAlarm as my fire wall, and have been disabling it when syncing my iPhone to prevent other error messages.
The iPhone is plugged into a genuine Iphone USB cable and is plugged into a USB port not a USB hub on my laptop, I have tried plugging it into all 4 USB ports and this issue still persist. The Cable is less then 5 months old, is not frayed or damaged in any way, have also borrowed 2 other cables from friends and still the same issue.
The iPhone does not even come up in windows explorer as a digital camera.
The iPhone is NOT jailbroken
I do not live close to a so called genius bar, however I have made the journey to them on 3 separate occasions last year when I first received my iPhone for a different issue, the so called genius's could not fix the problem so they just gave me a new (refurbished) iPhone, which did not extend my warranty. I will not be taking the iPhone back to them as I believe they can not resolve many issues, this is why I am reaching out to the power of the people in the wider apple community.
I have read in other forums about ifunbox and other programs for jail broken iPhones to isolate folders “iTunesDB” and "iTunesCDB" and delete them. If this is the issue is there a way to access these files through windows explorer as my iphone is not jailbroken.
I hope I have provided enough information and someone can help me fix this issue. If I have left anything out, please let me know. I thank everyone in advance for your patience and support.
Thanks

Thanks for your reply.
I have done a complete uninstall and re install of iTunes and all related apple programs from my laptop through control panel, add remove programs and also by going through program files and deleting all tracers of any left over folders remove programs may have missed.
My apologies for forgetting to add this in my original post.
Thanks again -
My iPhoto Library (version 8.1.2) is 280GB (greater than 50% of my 500GB total storage memory on my iMac. It was too large for me to drag it to a new hard drive so the Apple geniuses did it for me. However they did not delete the Library from my iMac (that's my responsibility). I dragged it to Trash and when it started to move I clicked over to the new hard drive to confirm it had indeed been copied. I became nervous when I didn't see among the few files on this otherwise empty new hard drive anything that resembled a 280GB Library so I cancelled the migration to trash.
How can I be sure that my iphoto has been copied and that all my "metadata" survived in tact?the new backup drive
I thought the new drive would be your data drive to host the iPhoto library. Do you also use it for TimeMachine backups?
I am unable to search either in email as well as Finder. I AM able to search within iPhoto though, thankfully
Spotlight may still be busy rebuildig its index.
You could try to rebuild the Spotlight Index, if you do see no progress:

I hope, other frequent posters will drop in. I have not used iPhoto 8.x in long time. -

Itunes will not read the ripped CD
My hard drive crashed. With a new drive,I have now imported all my previously saved music into my Itunes library perfectly. Now, after having ripped a dozen full CD's, the new music has been loaded and can be played, but itunes will not read the titles, artist or the CD title. Only my past music is labeled.
hi Patricia!
sounds like the new configuration isn't performing Gracenote queries properly. let's try checking through a few of the usual suspects:

How do you delete songs on iTune that are NOT on the library?
I got a new computer few days ago, and I downloaded iTune on my new computer today.
I want to delete all my songs that are in my iPod Touch now, and want to buy other songs.
I don't have any songs in my library at the moment, since there's no song in my new computer now.
So I want to delete songs, but since I don't have any of those songs in the library, I can't delete them. (I can't delete them since they are not on the library.)
Are there any ways I can delete songs that are NOT on the library?You don't want to keep the songs that are on your iPod touch, in your library?
You can keep them in your library and not put them on the touch.
Then you can purchase other songs and put those on the touch. -
Iphoto 08 don´t read the library
iphoto 08 don´t read the library. The library is 35 gigas, if I see the package contents and go to originals, I can see all the photos, but I need that the iPhoto reads my folders and everything in the same way that it did until 2 weeks ago. Any help??, thanks.
Easiest solution: Restore from back up.
Try these in order - from best option on down...
1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
2. Download <a href="http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/"><b><u>iPhoto Library Manager</b></u></a> and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
To create and populate a new *iPhoto 08* library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same Events and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events Uncheck the box at 'Imported Items from the Finder'
Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Event Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption. -
Reading the library contents - what's the secret?
What's the simplest way to read a library - specifically, given library
myLibrary how can you find out what classes are defined for the library as
well as their type? I haven't found anything in the online help, but I have
to believe if the project workshop can display a project and it's content
there has to be a way to write a chunk of code to read the library "table of
contents".
Note: I'm using Forte Development 3.0.G.2.
Thanks in advanceHello, Reid. I recall your posting on this some time ago, and since then I concluded for the mix of images I put in, the library plus previews will equal somewhere between 8 and 12% of the overall. Recognizing milegae, of course, but it doesn't seem like you are out of line.

HT203167 Why is my IPad not storing the film I just downloaded?
Hi
I've just purchased my first film from ITunes & downloaded it. When I opened it the next day it would only let me download it again. so I did and the
Same issue happened again. I don't understand why this is happening. Why is the iPad not storing the film for me?
Please advise
Thx
RowanWhy do you think that it is not storing the movie?
You opened the videos app?
You selected the movie?
Please explain.
You downloaded to your ipad? or your comptuer? -
ITunes shows files adding--but then they're not in the library
I have all the music from my old computer & old iTunes in a "Songs" folder on my desktop (courtesy of YamiPod). Per the instructions, I went to "Add Folder to Library" in iTunes and selected the Songs folder, and iTunes appeared to copy all the files into the library. But then, when the process was over, I discovered that many, many albums are nowhere to be found in the library, and some of the albums that are there don't even include all the songs. I've checked the Songs folder--and the iTunes Music folder in the My Music folder--and both folders include all the missing songs and albums. I've retried adding each of these folders to the library again, and again, I've watched iTunes goes through the whole process of adding them only to see yet again that when all is done, they're not in the library.
Advice, anyone?
Update: I take part of this back. My iTunes Music folder *does not* show all the missing albums. It shows some that the library doesn't (but that my original Songs folder does) but not all. I'm so confused. And when I try to just add individual song files, I encounter the same problem. I select the song(s) and select "Open," but though I receive no error messages, the song is not added to the library.
Thanks,
Stephanie
