IBooks won't display PDF's in iTunes

Hey everyone. I'm having trouble making PDF's appear under iBooks in iTunes. It was working great Friday morning and now I can't. I use it to scan my quizzes for school Is anyone else having this issue?
I'm using iTunes 10.6.1.7 on Windows 7. I have uninstalled and reinstalled it also.
I am attaching a screen shot of what's appearing.
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance!
-Guillermo

I tried it at work at that seemed to do it. I still can't add them through the File -> Add FILE/FOLDER to LIBRARY option though.
I will try it also at home.
Thank you for the suggestion!
EDIT: It was an ID10T error on my part! D'oh!!
I forgot to convert the scans to PDF. So I was trying to transfer JPEGS.
My mistake.
Thank you again!

Safari won't display pdf in browser

Posted before in wrong forum.
I am really sorry if this has been posted before, but I have been searching the forums and can't find an answer to it. I was also looking for the FAQ article about this that Apple says is an answer, but can't find that either.
Anyway, using 10.4.11 and Safari 3.0.4. Safari won't display pdfs in the browser. It is gray with the Acrobat logo.
I remember reading that the solution is to uninstall (delete) Safari and reinstall 3.0.4. However, I cannot find an install for 3.0.4 for Mac, and then do something with Acrobat. I am using 3.0.4 because it was part of a bundled OS update. I can't go back and downgrade my OS...
What do I do?

Hi,
You probably won't have to reinstall Safari. Two things you can try. If you open Adobe Reader and go into the 'Internet' section of its preferences, you should be able to disable the browser plug-in. Some times that alone isn't enough, in which case, browse to HD/Library/Internet Plug-ins/ and move the Adobe plugin out of the folder. Restart Safari for the changes to take effect.

TS1702 iBooks won't load PDF files any more on my Ipad2. Anybody seen this one before?

Hello All,
iBooks won't load PDF files any more.
I have a lot of PDF files so I thought I reached a maximum number of files or space so I deleted a lot of old files but this did not help.
I rebooted, synced, updated, restarted, etc. - everything that I can think of and I still have the same problem.
I don't remembered the last file that I loaded into iBooks, as I usually put them into collections.
I can still load PDF files into other applications like PDF Reader, but I prefer to have them all in iBooks.
Anybody seen this one before?
I have 64GB iPad2 and I have over 14GB free space.

There have been several threads on this topic over the last few weeks. It's not clear what the issue is, and it is not universal, but tend to effect users storing large numbers of PDFs in iBooks. Possible it has some thing to dowith capacity of the app, or specific characteristics of some of the PDFs.

My iBooks won't sync PDF information

I've been dealing with this for a long time, for some reason my iBooks on my iPad won't sync PDF information when I update it in my iTunes (i.e. change/add the authors name). When I look in the books section of my iPad on the dropdown in iTunes, the PDFs for which I've changed information just stay gray with a that "recycle" type symbol to the left, even after the sync is done. I can still open the PDFs in iBooks but it just won't let me change the information as to better organize them. This is incredibly frustrating and any advice would help greatly.

It wouldn't with me either. In fact I lost the pdfs from my iPad after changing their names in iTunes and syncing. Then I found you also have to go to the 'books' tab in iTunes and set 'SyncBooks' to 'All Books', and they all appeared back in the right collection. However, that only worked once. I've renamed some more, and possibly some again, and nothing happens. But at least this time I'm not losing files from my iPad.

Safari won't display pdf in browser and I do not have adobe reader or ply ins

I've been checking the posts and all the discussions/questions and answers but the only thing I have been able to find about problems displaying pdfs in browser have to do with adobe plug-ins. I never had adobe reader and checked in /library/internet plug ins and never found those plug ins. I then downloaded and installed adobe reader X and got rid of the plug ins in the library and that still has not solved the problem. Whenever I click on a link for a pdf it just automatically downloads the pdf. I just want to view the pdfs in the browser.
Thanks for the help

Adobe Reader won't display PDF in IE Browser Window

I am using Adobe Reader XI and Internet Explorer v. 11.0.9600.17280.
I have tried uninstalling and re-installing Adobe. I've also checked IE Add-Ins and all Adobe Reader Add-Ins are enabled.
However, you're poorly written software STILL WILL NOT display PDFs in browser any more.
I need help, but since you're software is so horrible, you do not offer typical technical support.
PLEASE HELP!

My company is having the same problem and I was hoping for some kind of final explanation.
The fix of resetting the Internet Explorer settings works for a time, then it later it has the problem again. Our company has a reporting site which needs the documents to open in the browser to allow for drill down(generating another report based on a link in the document), so the reports have to be in the browser not a separate Adobe Reader Window. We have tried other fixes on the Web like the TabProcGrowth=1, but still the problem happens later.
Our users are tired of resetting their Internet Explorer settings every week or more. As this has worked in all previous versions, I would agree the issue probably lies in Internet Explorer or at least partly in Internet Explorer, but we need some way to keep the files opening in the browser rather than a separate Reader window. Any additional thoughts or fixes by anyone would be greatly appreciated.

Safari won't display PDF

My Safari will not display PDF files when browsing.
The "Finder" opens and it says "select an Acrobat application".
I don't seem to have the Acrobat application.
Do I need to down load this application?
If I do, how do I link it to my browser?
And will I now open PDF files on my computer with the Acrobat reader instead of Preview?
Thanks

Thanks Jan, but I never tried to install or remove any Adobe product.
Is Adobe a program that comes with the Mini Mac?
Will Safari normally display PDF files? Or was this something that I should not have expected?
It is kind of a pain not being able to see PDF's in the Browser.
The IE Explorer down loads the PDF file then uses Preview to display. But I really don't want to down down load the files, just view them.
I know on my MS XP computer I have no problem viewing PDF files.
Is there some setting in the Safari that I need to changed?

IPad app store won't display certain apps, and itunes store won't display any searches at all

Hi. My problem started when instagram won't open bc it says I have an old version, but everytime I checked the "updates" in the app store, instagram doesn't appear. So I deleted it. Now no matter how I search on my iPad for instagram and other certain apps (like 8tracks), they won't appear in the search results! Even when I try to download the apps via the iTunes store, nothing I search on iTunes ever displays. It just loads and stops halfway. I've tried downloading a new iTunes and restoring my iPad but nothing works. Can anyone help me please?

I'm having the same problem! At first after installing leopard it wouldn't let me access the apple site! Called support they had me make up another user and access it from there and it worked. Also closed all my start up items. Now it won't let me access Itunes store even though I can access the web for everything else! Any clues??

Preview starts but won't display pdfs

Hi,
my macbook with 10.5.2 will not let me open pdfs using Preview while logged in as myself. Preview will start and display its buttons but not display the file. Other users on the same mac can do. I suspect one of the prefs. Deleting com.apple.preview.plist didn't help. What else can I do?
Thanks, Hans

It sound like something in your User Library. Try dragging the whole preferences folder to your desktop and reboot. That way it should tell you if it's possibly another preference file. You can drag it back if doesn't help, and reboot.

Won't display PDF files

I have a PDF embedded in an email. It displays properly on my iMac and on my iPhone, but the iPad does not display it - it only shows the question mark icon, indicating that it doesn't know how to handle the PDF.
Is this a setting or a bug?
How does one go about reporting a bug to Apple?

HERE'S THE SOLUTION!!!
Just spent 30 mins with Apple Support by phone, and the solution is an easy one... do a HARD RESTART.
Hold down both the home and power buttons simultaneously (don't let go), the red slide to power off box will come up, ignore this and keep those buttons held down. The screen will go black and then the white Apple logo will appear, as soon as it does let go of the home and power buttons... the little blue boxes will now be banished and inline .pdf's work just fine!
Woo-hoo!

IE8 error on HTTPS, won't display PDF

Hello Adobe Forums!
I am using a site that uses HTTPS and javascript to display a PDF in the browser. The problem is that when I use IE8 it decides to download the file instead. I have a feeling it has something to do with the cache control but I'm not sure.
When I use Chrome of Firefox it works with no problem but I can't use those two browsers with the business. There are other applications that need Internet Explorer.
I am using Windows 7 and it's 64-bit.
Thanks for your help!

IPad and iBooks will not display pdf text in form fields.

I use pdf forms to create assignments for my students and would like to use the iPad to mark the assignments afterwards. I would use something like iAnnotate to add comments and text freehand but apparently the Apple's PDF rendering engine can not handle complex PDFs. Any thoughts?
http://support.ajidev.com/index.php?/Knowledgebase/Article/View/63/0/what-to-do- if-a-pdf-does-not-draw-correctly

I haven't installed it, but I seem to remember hearing that the adobe pdf reader app allows for people to enter forms. If that doesn't work, there should be other pdf reader apps that allow for forms to be utilized.

Adobe is installed but won't display pdf files

Problem with opening PDF files. I have Acrobat Reader/Adobe Reader installed and updated. However, when trying to open PDF files online, say bankstatements, the browser will always open to a black, or dark gray page. What am I doing wrong?
