ITunes removed a book from my iPad

Hello.  I bought EO Wilsons Life on Earth on my iPad. The next time I synced with iTunes on my Mac, I got a message that the book is not authorized on this computer and removed it from my iPad.
Besides the fact that this is annoying, confusing, and just plain wrong to take away something that I bought. How do I stop that from happening again.
The book took a long time to download and I think it might dowload again (the iBook interface is so confusing), but I don't want to have to repeat this over and over again. I bought the book I should be able to keep it.
I should add that I checked iTunes on the computer and (mixed in with the songs) the book is listed as purchased. I can't seem to do anything with it there. If I click on it, it just says it doesn't play on the computer, I must use iPad (I know...).
Thanks.

Yes you should be able to keep the book and I'm quite sure that you will be able to download it again for free, but the only reason that I can think of why the book wouldn't transfer into iTunes is that the book as purchased with a different Apple ID than the one that you were signed into in iTunes on your computer.

  • I have a Kindle and the new iPad 3.  I downloaded one of my Kindle books to my iPad.  Now I want to remove the book from the iPad.  When I highlight the book, the "device" key that I think I am supposed to use disappears.  Please help.

    I have a Kindle and the new iPad 3.  I downloaded one of my Kindle books to my iPad.  Now I want to remove the book from my iPad.  When I highlight the book, the "device" button (which I think I am supposed to use) disappears.  How do I get the select the book and get it off the iPad and back to my Kindle?  Thanks for your help.

    To remove the book simply touch and hold the cover on the main page.  A little pop up will ask, remove?  Say yes.  The book content will de deleted.   The cover will remain on your main page with a little down arrow so that you can redownload it if you wan in the cloud view.  In the device view, it simply disappears.
    Note at the bottom of the page are a couple of switches, labeled cloun and device.  The device switch shows you books on your device.  The cloud page shows your whole catalog, and the down arrow allows you to bring down anything in your catalog to the device.

  • I downloaded a book to my Ipad and when I went to sync with Itunes on my PC- it removed the book from my Ipad, but shows it on the PC.  I have it "checked" to be synced but it still does not show up on my Ipad?  This also happened after I downloaded IOS 5

    I downloaded a book on my Ipad and after syncing to my PC, it was dropped from the Ipad, but shows up on my PC?  I have it "checked" to be synced but it will not come back onto my Ipad.  This is also after I downloaded IOS 5.1 for the Ipad.  Does anyone know why it would be dropped from the Ipad?

    Sometimes simply restarting your iTunes, the computer and the iPad is all that it takes to correct an issue like this so try that. Quit iTunes, reboot your computer, and restart the iPad. Then try the sync again.
    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.

  • Anyone know how to remove Overdrive books from my iphone that have been transferred from my computer? They do not show up on itunes. I see a lot of answers to this question but they all are based on being able to see the books in iTunes.

    How do I remove Overdrive books from the library that were downloaded onto my computer then transferred to my iphone? The problem is that they do not show up in iTunes.
    I see this question asked a lot when I google, but they always give answers that assumes you can find the books in iTunes either under the books tab, or the audio books tab or in the music. They do not show up anywhere for me. They do not remove from the app like the ones I downloaded directly onto my iphone.the related archived article does not answer it either.  I even asked a guy working at an apple store and he could not help either.   Anybody...?
    Thanks!

  • Audio books - remove a book from Nano

    How do I remove an audio book from my Nano? Removing music works like the tutorial but that same process doesn't work for books.
    Thanks

    To remove a book from a mobile device plug the device into the USB port and open iTunes. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of your iPod, iPhone, or iPad in the Device section of the left hand menu of iTunes so that you can see the device’s subcontents. For an MP3 book select the Music subsection, right click on the book and choose Delete.  For a WMA book (Windows), select the Book subsection, right click on the book and choose Delete.

    Kindle books to the best of my knowledge don't sync via iTunes. Unless I've missed something, there is no way to transfer a Kindle book from the iPad directly to the computer; Amazon has designed things so that each device gets content individually (and syncs bookmarks, etc) from Amazon's servers. You can probably confirm this, or find out how to do the transfer, in Amazon's Kindle forums:

  • How do I delete or remove an application from my iPad.

    How do I delete or remove an application from my iPad.

    Press and hold any of the apps and after a couple of seconds or so they should start to shake. Then press the 'x' in the left corner to delete the ones that you don't want, and when you've finished deleting press the home button so as to stop the shaking. You cannot delete any of the Apple built-in apps e.g. iPod, App Store, Game entre etc. If you don't get the 'x' on any of the apps that you've downloaded then check that Settings > General > Restrictions > Deleting Apps isn't set 'off'
    If the app is on your computer's iTunes then you should probably also either delete it from there as well, or un-tick it from your iPad's sync list when you next connect it, otherwise it might get put back on the iPad. As long as the app remains in the app store you can always re-download it for free in the future (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519).

    How do I remove a mover from my IPad. It does not show in my library so I can't synch it out.

    You can delete from ipad and just leave movie un-ticked in iTunes, if it is one you have downloaded from iStore then I believe that you can't delete but you can hide, then it's available to download again, but I only use movies from my PC.
