IBooks transfer to PC

I have books in my iPad that were purchased a long time ago, all books bought on it are still on it. However, certain books refuse to transfer during syncing to my PC. And don't show up on my iTunes account. I have tried going into my purchased items in iTunes, but they don't appear there either

Do they show up in the iBookStore on the device? You know, iBooks / Store / Purchased.
I have different stuff on the iPad than on the iPhone so the bookshelves are stocked differently. But in the Purchased tab, ALL the books show up, local ones saying "downloades" and those on the other iGadget with a "iCloud with downward arrow" icon instead.
If they don't, I would assume that sync was somehow lost with Apple's servers and hence would explain why iTunes on the computer doesn't list them.

Ibook transfer to pc to convert tp mp3

how can I copy or move my ibook, which is drm protected, onto my pc so I can listen to the book on my new Android notebook

If it's an ibook then you can copy it to the Books part of your computer's iTunes library via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases - but if it has DRM on it then it can only be read in the iBooks app, either on an iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch, or the iBooks program on OS X Mavericks on a Mac.

IBook Transfer Problem to iTunes

I recently created an ePub using iBooks Author to be used as a presentation tool for our company. I exported the file, imported it into my iTunes account, and synced it with my iPad. So far, so good. I then copied the exact same export file (from my hard disk, not iTunes) to a USB stick for another person in the company, but when he tries to import it into his iTunes, the cover icon appears but the rest of the file will not transfer. A check of the "Get Info" window shows the file location as the USB stick, and it will not sync to his iPad. It's not even an option in the book sync tab. He is using version 10.6.1 (7) on an iMac.
Any ideas as to why the same exact file transfers seamlessly on my computer and not at all on his?

KT,
Thanks. I've tried:
- transferring it from the USB drive
- saving it to the DT and then transferring it
- transferring it from an external hard disk, and
- uploading and transferring it from Box.net.
In each of these I've tried both dragging and "Adding to Library".
I haven't tried emailing it, but the file is very large due to lots of corporate videos (1gb) and therefore really can't do that. Might the huge file size be the problem? Again, I can move it easily on PowerBook, as can the colleague I enlisted, so it doesn't seem like that would be it, but who knows.

Iphone ibooks transfer to ipad

Can anyone tell me how to transfer Ibook purchases from iphone4 to ipad2? Thanks.

If they are not on your computer so that you can sync them, then connect the iPhone to your computer and in iTunes do File > Transfer Purchases and see if that copies them over. If they are still available in the store, and you use the same iTunes account as you originally usedto buy/download them, then you should also be able to re-download them on the iPad and/or your computer : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519

IBooks transfer not working.

I got some books and when I tried to transfer them to my new air they would not come. Well, they came but ten seconds later disappeared. What happened? They were all from JW.org. No cost. Really great. Even the bible. Should I backup with the cloud instead of computer?

Hmm. Thanks for the tip - although won't work for me, since mine was already switched to off. I switched it on, then off again, and have restarted my iPad. That didn't work - in fact, it switched it back on once it was restarted, and when I highlighted a word, the only option I got was Speak.
So I turned speech off again, force-quit iBooks, and it's still back to where I was - the dictionary not working.
UGH.
All this, and even after yesterday's app update from Apple, it still doesn't work.

your suggestions, tips and advice is appreciated.

The very first model G4 towers were known as the "PCI Graphics G4" and they are not capable of starting up in "target" mode. The first model G4 tower that could was the "AGP Graphics G4" (the second model). If you have a PCI Graphics G4 (the logic board was based on the logic board of the Blue & White G3 which was not capable of "target" mode), then you won't be able to go that way. However, your PCI Graphic G4 tower should still recognize your iBook's hard drive in FireWire Target Disk Mode. The only requirement is that the "host" Mac have a FireWire port and a minimum of FireWire 2.3.3 installed (Mac OS 8.6, any version of OS X will host). Check out Knowledge Base Article #58583. So, you could move the files manually, but the Migration Assistant won't be able to help with a PCI Graphics G4.

HT204365 problem with iBook

I have hundreds of files and books that I have downloaded on my iPad's iBooks, I need to know a way to transfer them to my computer. I can't do them one by one via email. I can't update the iBooks or the iOS fearing to lose my pdf files/ books on iBooks.

Transfer purchases and sync your iPad with iTunes.
Connect the iPad to your computer and launch iTunes. Right click on the iPad name on the left and select - Transfer Purchase. That will transfer your purchased books into your iTunes Library. Then sync with iTunes and your pdf files from iBooks will transfer into the library as well.

HT4059 Not synchronising my book from iPhone too iPad can anyone help please??

It not synchronising too the both of them if I buy books from iPad or iPhone there not cuming up on them anything on so it should work can anyone help please?? Thanks if u do x

If they were purchsed by your AppleID, then they should Synch.
Nevertheless, if your issue wasn't solved and you in hurry you can try the following:
Download this application http://www.ipod-to-computer.net/ibooks-transfer.html.
Export all books to desktop + uses iTunes to import them into Library + Synch the books again to your iPad.

What controls the default opening page?

My new iBook opens on my introduction when I preview it. However when I export it as an iBook, transfer to the iPad via iTunes, it opens on Chapter 2 page 8 every time.
I've tried lots of variations of selecting the cover, the intro, the table of contents BEFORE I export the book, but the problem remains. Any ideas?

I've just solved the problem. It appears that my old iPad 1 remembered the page. After navigating to the beginning, returning to the iBooks library, deleting the book, restarting the iPad, then reimporting the book via iTunes, everything is solved.
That's the process, yes.

How to transfer multiple pdfs from email to iPad ibooks

Is there any way to transfer multiple files from email or imessage to ibooks on an Ipad?
currently email opens each one then have to click on top to open in ibooks. I have over 50 files and expect more to come. I have tried hooking up ipad to the macbook that sent the files and put into ibooks that way, but it would require syncing all my media files.
Icloud and airdrop have failed me miserably for PDFs transfer to my ipad.

I don't know if this will help you, but for PDFs on my IPad I use either Note Taker HD or EverNote. Both are available at App Store. However each one is a pay for app. Note Taker HD app is a one time fee. EverNote is monthly. There is also
FileApp Pro. These are the apps I use. So I have immediate access to any and all PDF's in a second or 2. Note that these are my personal preferences only. Hope this helps. Cheers.

Help: failed iBook, how can I transfer safely my music library to a new Mac

My iBook display won't work anymore and also connecting an external monitor does not help. Probably the graphic card has failed and the repair is not worth. I will most likely buy a new iMac in the next days.
Now the problem. How can I get all my iPod music and playlists to the new iMac.
I have my 20+ Gbyte of music on the iPod and (fortunately) the library is on an external hard disc.
The iPod is in autosync with the iBook.
HOWEVER the music library database file and .xml file are still on the iBook, so I will probably not be able to recover them anymore!
The question is:
- is there a way to copy the music from the external hard disk to the new Imac AND re-sync the iPod to the new iMac without loosing the song ratings, playlists etc.?
- I know there are third-party applications to copy music/playlists from the iPod itself, but I have been discouraged as the massive copy operation could damage the iPod hard-disk.
Hence I would prefer to recover the music files from the external hard disk.
I know I could simply import the music in the new iTunes installation from the hard disk, but in this way I would have to scratch the iPod and re-associate it with the new iTunes, loosing all playlists and songs ratings.
Thanks a lot in advance

iBook Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Hey- I'm in a little different position, but thought that whoever answers the above poster's questions probably knows the answer to mine too.
I have all my songs on an external hard drive which my computer has been having trouble recognizing. Therefore, I can't access my songs. Am I understanding the original poster above correctly that I have to purchase some 3rd party software to transfer those songs from my iPod back to my iBook?

How to transfer iBooks books & PDFs from old iPad to new iPad?

(Well, it seems my title got truncated; originally it read: How to transfer iBooks books & PDFs from old iPad to new iPad?)
I've recently gotten an iPad Air to replace my previous iPad 2. I have a bunch of books and PDFs in iBooks on the old iPad, and want to transfer them to the new iPad.
A search of Apple Support informs me that anything I've purchased from iBooks can be downloaded at any time to any of my devices (works like Amazon's Kindle system, apparently), but nearly all the content I have in iBooks on the iPad I've downloaded from other sources, so it won't be in my iBooks Store account (I might have bought one book there).
I've also seen several instructions on how to copy all my data from the old iPad to the new via Backup & Restore, but that seems to require restoring the new iPad to factory setup, which would delete everything I have on it now – including a bunch more books I've gotten since I started using the new iPad. And I don't want to copy everything, only the books/PDFs (the new iPad has everything I want, except for the books).
Since there seems to be no way to transfer files directly from one iPad to the other, it seems it must be done via iTunes on my MacBook Pro (and I want to copy all the books/PDFs to the computer anyway). So I connected the iPad 2 to my MacBook Pro (OS X 10.9.4) and opened iTunes (11.3.1). Then clicked on the iPad's name in the sidebar to the left, and on Books below it. I see a list of the books on the iPad. I check the little boxes by all their names to select them (not sure if that's necessary, but it seems like a good idea), then click on the Sync button at the lower right, to the right of the bar at the bottom of the window with colored bands showing memory usage on the iPad. A message appears saying "The app 'iBooks' was not installed on the iPad '[name]' because the app could not be found."
But iBooks is already on the iPad; I have it open and see the list of books in it, which matches the list shown in iTunes. The message has a "More Information" button; I click that and it opens an Apple Support article titled "iOS: An app you installed unexpectedly quits, stops responding, or won’t open": "Learn what to do if you see one of these issues with an app you downloaded from the App Store on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: The app unexpectedly quits; The app stops responding; You can’t open the app." But none of these apply; the iBooks app is on the iPad, and works fine there.
The article suggests: (1) Restart the App. I've done that, no help. (2) Restart your device. Done that, no help. (3) Update your device software and your apps. The iPad is running iOS 6.1.3, iBooks 3.1.3; not the latest versions, no, but I'd rather not update it to newer, bigger, more power-hungry versions if I don't have to. Is it that iTunes 11 doesn't work with iOS 6? I haven't seen this stated anywhere.
So instead I click the OK button on the message, but nothing further happens, so far as I can tell: None of the books/PDFs on the iPad (about 380MB) appear in iBooks on the MacBook Pro.
I click on "Books" in the row of words across the top of the iTunes window, and it shows me the single PDF presently in iBooks on the MacBook Pro. I click the box by "Sync Books", and a message appears: "Are you sure you want to remove existing music, movies, TV shows, books, and tones from this iPad and sync with this iTunes library?" Well, no, that's exactly what I DON'T want to do. I don't want to erase the 380MB of books and PDFs on the iPad and replace them with the single PDF now in iBooks on the MacBook Pro. I want to copy the books from the iPad 2 to iTunes, so I can copy them back to the new iPad Air (if, God willing, I can figure out how to do that without erasing the books now on the iPad Air).
I've been working with Macintosh computers for over 26 years. It's always been a fairly simple process to copy files from one computer to another. I don't want to "sync" all the data (address book, email, God knows what else) on the iPad with the corresponding information on the MacBook Pro – especially if that will erase everything on the iPad (which has information not on the MacBook Pro, e.g. 380MB of books). I just want to copy the books and PDFs in iBooks from the old iPad to the MacBook Pro, then to the new iPad, adding them to the books on the new iPad, so I don't lose anything.
Can anybody give me a clue?

Transferring your prepaid cellular data account depends on your carrier. AT&T lets you move it yourself when you go to Cellular Data in Settings and log into your account with your previous AT&T user name and password. For iPads with Sprint service, you can set up an account on the new iPad and contact Sprint Customer Care (888-211-4727 and go through the menus) to deactivate the old plan and get credit for unused service. For Verizon, call the company’s customer service number for mobile broadband support (800-786-8419) and ask to have your account transferred.

How can I easily transfer file (pdf, doc , xls) from one iPad to another. The files are in iBooks collections?

I have just purchased a new iPad2. We have an iPad and would like to transfer files that are in iBooks as pdf and doc to the new iPad2 without e-mailing each as a attachment. Any ideas?

If you're syncing the documents from iBooks to your computer using iTunes, you can just sync them onto your new iPad the same way.
If you don't feel the need to use iBooks, you can use a cloud storage app like Dropbox or a file management app like Goodreader.

I have chosen to fil migrate from old ibook to new MacBook Pro using Time Machine after establishing admin account. I now have two admin. accounts and wish to delete the later one and transfer files manually. I am worried I will loose both accounts. ??

Use the Office for Mac and ignore using Parallels for that. If you have PC only apps you have to run that are MS Windows only then consider Parallels. Just transfer your main PC, using Migration Assistant. If you don't know how then simply read over Pondini's article called Lion or Mountain Lion Setup Assistant tips and look for the section on migrating from a PC. Millions have done what you are about to, it's far from leading edge these days, if you go to an Apple Store to purchase they will offer this as a service, something you might be interested in.

I have 2 Apple IDs. Can I transfer or merge my iBooks?

I would like to stop using my old Apple ID (which is my email from a previous employer), and start using my new Apple ID. Can I merge or transfer my iBooks from the old account to the new one?
I want to have all my stuff in one library.
Thanks!

You can merge the contacts from one account with your other one without overwriting them. Sign into the first account, download them as vCard (iCloud: Export contact information as a vCard), email them to a device signed into the account you want to merge them with, tap the vCard and choose Add..., then Create New Contacts.
You can also migrate a copy of the data in one account and merge it with the other by signing into the account you are leaving, then signing out (or deleting the account if not running iOS 8), then choosing Keep on My iDevice when prompted. Then sign into the other account and choose Merge when prompted. This won't move Notes however. If you are syncing notes that you want to migrate from the other account, you can temporarily add the account to your Mac as a secondary account by going to System Preferences>Internet Accounts (or Mail,Contacts,Calendars)>Add Account>iCloud and signing in with the other account ID. Then enable notes syncing in the secondary account. You will then be able to open the notes app and drag and drop notes from one account to the other. When you're done, delete the secondary account from your Mac.
You can't merge IDs as Apple does not allow it. Also, you won't be locked out of anything for 3 months. The "90-day switch" rule only applies to changing your iTunes store account, not your iCloud account. Just leave your iTunes store account as-is. The ID you use for the iTunes store does not have to be the same as the ID you use for iCloud.
