IOS 8.3 iPad iBook delete books from library right after syncing

Hi,
I recently updated to iOS 8.3 and iTunes 12.1.2.27, after the update i found a strange problem started to occur on my iPad.
After syncing to iPad as usual, when I open iBook app, the books show up for a brief moment and then they start to disappear bunch by bunch until there only around one-third of all my books that I just synced left in the library. I've tried to go to iBook setting and try changing every setting, log out from iCloud on my iPad and reauthorise my MacBook in Mac iBook app. I've synced my iPad for more than a dozen times each time with different setting on iPad and option on iTunes, reset all settings on iPad, etc., nothing seems to fix the problem.
I use my iPad mostly for reading and this is really frustrating. Anyone having the same problem after the update?

Hello iZen.J,
If I understand correctly your books are unexpectedly being removed from your iPad when you sync the device to your computer despite resyncing the content, changing sync settings, and resetting all the settings on your iPad. Next I would quit all the running apps on your iPad:
iOS: Force an app to close
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
When you have done that restart the device and your computer then test the issue again:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
If the issue persists, backup your device to iTunes, then restore it as new and verify that it works. 
How to erase your iOS device and then set it up as a new device or restore it from backups
If it does, then restore your backup to either verify it still works and the software just needed reinstalled, or isolate the issue to the backup file itself. 
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Sterling

    Hello ListenIt,
    While the following was written for the iPhone, the process should be the same on your iPod Touch.
    Remove a song from iPhone. Tap Songs, swipe the song, then tap Delete. The song is deleted from iPhone, but not from your iTunes library on your Mac or PC, or from iCloud.

  • How do I get my missing calendar events back after MobileMe deleted them from my iphone after syncing?

    I signed up for MobileMe about a month ago.  I noticed today that all of my calendar events from the last 18 months are missing on my iphone. I checked on MobileMe online and they are there.  'Sync' to me means 'make the two entries identical on the PC and the iPhone' not 'Move it to the online MobileMe and delete it from the phone'.
    Is there anyway to get them back on my phone?  If I had know this was going to happen I never would have signed up for MobileMe.
    Thanks,
    Ken

    I have tried restoring my Iphone from my old back up on I tunes. It just restored my Iphone back to the state it was in yesterday, with the same apps with no contacts or pictures....

  • HT5557 Permanently deleting books from iBooks

    Is there away to perminantly delete books from ibooks?  I've deleted them but their picture still remains in the "cloud".  I want them gone.

    You can't permanently delete any item from your purchase history, all you can do is hide them via your computer's iTunes so that they don't show in the Purchased links for redownloading : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919
    After hiding them on your computer you might need to log out and back into your account on your iPad for them to be hidden on it - with iOS 7 I've been needing to do that for Apps, not sure if it also applies to books

  • HT4059 Can I delete books from my iBooks account?

    Can I delete books from my iBooks account?

    Yes, you can delete books from iPad and from all your OS devices.
    Open iBooks, select the list display, not the bookshelves display, then click on Edit at top right. Highlight the title to be deleted and "tick" the button to the left of the selected title. Then simply click the red Delete button at the top left. You will be given two delete options, so just select the one you require.
    Trust this helps.

  • I want to delete books from my iPad

    I want to add support to everyone's request to be able to delete books from my iPad.  If you are going to provide free books I believe I should be able to delete them since there is not a cost involved.

    I'm not sure why you think you can't delete books in iBooks.  I do all the time......
    On your iDevice, go to the iBooks app -> tap on "edit" and tap on the selections your want to delete and hit "Delete"

    I want to delete books from my iPad but they are still there ....how do I get rid of purchased books?,

    You should be able to delete them from the bookshelf in the iBooks app via the Edit button at the top right of the bookshelf. If they show on the bookshelf with a cloud symbol on them then try turning Settings > iBooks > Show All Purchases 'off'. Is that what is happening ?

  • Delete books from iPad

    How do I delete books from my IPad?  No matter how many times I select delete my books remain, they are not deleted.  I want them completely removed.

    Turning "Show all Purchases" off merely hides the Purchased folder on iBooks, the books I don't want still appear in the "Books" folder.
    Even if I move them to another folder, delete that folder and tell iBooks to <b>remove</b> those books, iBooks inexplicibly moves those books back to the Books folder. I deleted them from my PC, I even told iTunes <b>not</b> to sync any books, I've deleted iBooks, and yet lo and behold, despite all this, iBooks seems to have decided that what I really meant was that "show these books that haven't finished downloading no matter what I say"

    I would like to permanently delete books from my iBooks account - is there any way to do that besides completely cancelling the account?

  • HT5824 How can you permanently delete books from Ibooks

    How can you permanently delete books from IBooks?

    You cant permanently delete them, but you can hide them.
    Pop into iTunes, and in the iTunes Store under Quick Links along the right hand side, you can see Purchases, and then sign in, look at your books and click on the X in the top left and it will hide them so you dont have to see them.
    Hope this helps.

  • Why can't I delete books from iBooks/iCloud?

    Why can't I delete books from iBooks/iCloud?

    What happens when you try to delete them from the iBooks app on your Mac ? If they are downloaded into the app (i.e. they don't have the cloud symbol on them) then you should be able to select them and then press the delete button on your keyboard to delete them.
    In terms of the cloud, you can't permanently delete any item from your purchase history, all you can do is hide them so that they don't show for redownloading, which you can either do via your computer's iTunes : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919
    Or for the iBooks app you can go into the Store in the app, and on the Featured tab select the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the screen and hide them (hover your mouse pointer on a book and it should get an 'x' on its top left corner, click that to hide the book).
