Lost all my PDFs in iBooks iPad

This is very frustrating. I opened iBooks today and ALL my PDFs are gone. The books are still there but PDFs disappeared!!!
How do I recover my PDFs?
Thanks

Same here did you backup to icloud, I did I'm not sure if that's what did it ? Or was it an iBooks update ?
In answer to sberman you have to click on collections to see all your PDFs have gone, got any more ideas ?

I have lost all the PDF I had in Ibook

I have lost all the PDF I had in Ibook

Had you done anything with the iPad e.g. updated the iOS version, deleted and reinstalled iBooks ? PDFs (and epubs) in the iBooks app aren't included in a backup (ibooks are redownloadable from the store whilst they remain in the store), have you got copies of them in your computer's iTunes library so that you can sync them back to your iPad ?
When connected to your computer's iTunes the File > Devices > Transfer Purchases menu option on iTunes should copy PDFs and/or epubs that are in the iBooks app over to your computer's iTunes library so that you have a copy of them for restoring/resyncing - had you done that when they were in the app ?

On your iPad and iPod touch tap Settings > Store
Make sure Music is switched On under Automatic Downloads.
Now restart your iPad and your iPod touch.
Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button down until the red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider to turn off iPhone. To turn iPhone back on, press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.

Lost all my calendar events on Ipad. Seems to coinside with deleting my Hotmail address

Lost all my calendar events on Ipad. Seems to coincide with deleting my Hotmail address. Is this possible?

I would try adding your Hotmail calendar back in and then seeing if all of your events show up. You can check the events to see which calendar they are assigned to.

Is there a way to copy all my PDfs in ibooks on my iPad?

Because I'm still sorting out an issue with ibooks on the iMac renaming files so they do not match the names on my iPad, I am wondering if there is a way to copy all the pdfs I have in ibooks on my ipad (without doing each one, one at a time) so I can save a copy in Evernote or dropbox so when I sync and update shortly, I don't loose what I have?
Thanks for any help you can offer.
Michelle

Thank you.Ok say for e.g.
500 video files imported in fcpx
800 clips extracted from these obviously on the timeline and joined/compounded according to their content in say 15 layers according to 15 instruments used ,so now just to see the entire usable footage ....
now one 7 minute song sequence has to be made where bits would be simultaneously taken from these 15 layers as all instruments are playing simultaneously
these shots are not more than 2 secs each according to the beat........
when I try to work with these 15 layers as well as the Final primary layer that I'm making in the same timeline my fcpx becomes slow
but when I drag individual layer to individual timelines it is fine so that is the only option
but now for every 2 second bit I have to go back to the 15 layered timeline and find one single suitable shot
So I was wondering is there a way to be able to see these layers and clips on the timeline in the browser in a systematic fashion like the way we get with keywords ?
and keywords can only be used in the imported clips already in the browser ,and not after we drag it on the timeline.....
Till now I think exporting and importing back is the only option ...but is there another work around ?

I lost all my pdfs files! I haven't sync them but I backed up my ipad. How can i get them back?

HEllo
AFter updating my ios and then my ibooks app, i found out that all my pdf files were gone!
SInce i didn't synced them, but i backed up my ipad,is there a way to get them back?
THanks for reading this.

IN my ibooks, I have one book and a lot of pdf files. I don't mind deleting the book as it was free but I'd rather save my pdf files.
I tried both but still, nothing appears.
CAn you tell me how to back up one app? I know how to back up all of them. But in that case, I think you're suggesting me just to back up Ibooks...
ANd does it matter that i haven't sync my Ibooks in itunes? I mean, I have backed up my ipad, is it enough?
ANd is it because of my app update or my ios update? I wouldn't like to do the same mistake in the future...
THanks so much for your quick help!

IBooks on Mavericks lost all my PDFs! Help!

I used to keep all my manuals and tech notes as PDFs in iBooks through iTunes. All were neatly organized. Now they're gone!!! Give me back the old iTunes, please!!!

First of all you have to see your Library folder, in your home (Your name)
If you have not done it yet, open your home folder, than select the menu
View in Finder,
select
Show view options: it will open a prefs window
At the bottom you will check Show Library Folder, to be able to se the Library and follow the path
and get to the folder of ibooks
User-home-library-containers-com.apple.BKAgentService-Data-Documents-iBooks-book s
This is a screenshot of my library when it was empty, only one book
I hope yours will be full. But in the case it is not, you could always add from a backup all your pdfs and books,
like I did.
In iBooks app you have in the File menu
Add to library.
In case you see all your books and pdfs there but you don't see them in ibooks
just select them all but the Books.plist, and transfer them in another folder on your desktop.
Then select to import with Add to library , all the books and pdfs you would like reinstated in ibooks
I hope it will work for you as well!
P.s. Don't be disappointed though, your books will loose their names-changed to numbers,
the pdfs still have their correct name

HT204365 PDFs into iBooks/iPad from Mavericks

When I want to put a PDF into iBooks on my iPad from my iMac with Mavericks, it is nearly impossible. Before Mavericks, I was able to pick the pdfs from iTunes and they would come over to the iPad. The only way I have seen to do it is: 1. Email the file (some are too big and won't email) or 2. Re-sync my iPad, which then deletes all of my manually managed music. It was so much easier before Mavericks. Why is it so complicated or impossible now?

You should still be able to do it via iTunes. You can add the PDFs to the iBooks app on your Mac via File > Add To Library and then sync them to your iPad in the same way as you did before Mavericks : select the iPad device and use its Books tab to select and sync them

Lost all my data on my ipad!

An automatic update has reset my ipad and lost all my data.
How can I get everything back including photos, games (and the stages I had reached) etc that I should have sitting backed up on icloud?

I wish I could answer that question definitively. What it should do and what it actually does are two different things - no matter what anyone tries to tell you. That has been my experience with my iDevices anyway.
Back to your issue, you can restore from one of the older backups and it should contain most of your app data - of course depending on how old the backup is.
Connect the iPad to your computer, launch iTunes and then right click on the iPad name on the left and select - restore from backup. A window will pop up that you can select one of the older backups from.
Now the backup obviously would not contain anything more current than what was in the backup on the day that the backup was created. So your scheduke and calendar would not be up to date. If the photos on the iPad were from a sync with iTunes, they should still be available to sync again with iTunes on your computer.
Its really up to you if you think that restoring from one of those backups would be updated enough for you, or if you just want to move on from here.
You should probably read this before you do anything so you will know exactly want will be returned to your iPad if you restore from the backup.

Lost all my documents on my iPad after an update, what should I do?

I use my iPad instead of paper to perform tests on the associates I work with that are required using the Adobe app. I came in this morning and my iPad was automatically updating and now that the update is complete, I have lost all of the checks that were done. Not only that the iPad is requesting me to log into my itunes account to access every app and once I enter the information accurately it just shuts the app down. Does anyone have any suggestions?

You will need to download the apps from the App Store. As long as you're using the same Apple ID, you won't be charged again.

Help - I just lost all my music on my iPad

Hi, before it was doing this so how do I fix my music and my Music on iPad disappears or it's not working right when I press the play button that small red icon to the right side of that song it goes down each song fast and then all the music is not there what do I do now? Also this is in my playlists
But now I have no music on my iPad
on my iPhone it was doing this so how do I fix my music and my Music on iPhone disappears or it's not working right when I press the play button that small red icon to the right side of that song it goes down each song fast and then all the music is not there what do I do now? Also this is in my playlists
So how do I fix this?

Your iPhone has enough storage for iOS 8. Your iPad may have enough too so before doing anything you may want to just wait and try to upgrade and see if you get a prompt saying you don't have enough storage. If you don't, if all of your music is in your iTunes library on your computer, one option would be to delete all the music off your iPad, then update it to iOS 8 and sync all your music back to your iPad when it's done. To delete all the music, you would go to Settings>General>Usage, tap on music in the apps list, then tap Edit and tap next to All Music.
Here's an article about how to prepare for the iOS update: http://osxdaily.com/2014/09/07/prepare-ios-8-update/.

IBooks Lost all my PDF Documents

I created additional collections within iBooks and transferred about 20 PDF documents with iTunes into them. This worked perfectly for a few days. Later when I opened iBooks again I saw the list of documents for about half a second and then they just disappeared. The collections are still there but empty. Has this happen to somebody else?

Try this:
# Right click your PDFs, click Properties
# Go to the General tab
# In the '''Opens with''' section, click the ''Change'' button
# Select Adobe Reader (or Foxit Reader/Whatever PDF viewer you use)
# Click Apply then OK.
Does it work then?

IOS 7 deleted all my PDFs on iBooks

please help me. thanks

Hello TheRealDarnorter sorry I missed your post
I'm sure your method works but I use a Mac and Apples OS not Linux. I tried looking for the database in OS 10.8.5 and did not see anything with the suffix you described on the Mac and certainly cannot access the iOS of the iPad.
As I mentioned before, I fully Erased and replace all items on the iPad, and also did a full Restore and it did not work. iBooks refuses to see the PDFs. On the iPad, as Shapiro2000 mentioned, iBooks launches and displays the PDFs for a fraction of a second then quits to the home screen.
Updating to iOS 7 on the iPad has been a DISASTER and a black hole of time wasted. On the iPhone it has been an even bigger disaster. I know someone who updated. Lots of headaches in accessing his apps.
I spent a good 40 minutes with Apple and they cannot fix the issue short of their engineers writing an update to iOS 7. I finally just shifted my PDFs out of iBooks to Adobe Reader app which seems stable.
APPLE!!! PLEASE FIX THIS PROBLEM!!!
