Need to transfer books from a new pc to ipad  1 without losing old books

i am sure this has been asked and answered but i am new to this community. I just lost my PC and the external hard drive i had. I have just got a new pc and want to transfer books i have there to my ipad but i keep getting a message that says if i sync the pc and ipad i will lose all my old books and only get the ones on the new pc. That is a LOT of books i would lose.
i am not a young computer genius, so if someone could please give me an easy step by step way to just add the new books without losing anything i would appreciate it.
by the way, these books are "files" on the new computer. They are not from teh  Kindle store. Almost all are epubs.
thanks

There are some instructions on this page for how to sync to a new computer : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141
Even if they aren't ibooks that you downloaded from Apple, if they are in the iBooks app on your iPad then you should be able to copy them over to the Books part of your computer's iTunes library via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases.
If you have music, films etc on your iPad which aren't in your new computer's iTunes library then you might be able to redownload some/all of your iTunes purchases via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage on your computer's iTunes. For music, films etc from other sources (and if you can't redownload all of your iTunes purchases) then there are some programs listed half-way down this page which should be able to copy them back : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

  • Is it possible to transfer one single App from my iTunes onto my iPad, without losing the Apps that are already installed on my iPad?

    I originally had the app (FilmOn.TV) on my iPhone, so it is backed up in my iTunes on my PC. It's no longer available in the App Store and I would really like to have it on my iPad. When I read up on this, it seems to say that if I sync any apps from my iTunes onto my iPad, that any Apps currently on the iPad will be deleted.
    Can anyone tell me, please, is it possible to bring one single App across onto my iPad, without losing all of my existing ones.
    Thank you in advance.
    Brian.

    Do you think you could email me the Filmon .ipa file? I lost mine the other day, and it would be very handy.

  • How can I transfer books from my Mac to my iPad without using iTunes?

    ?

    I can get books into iBooks on my ipad easily enough by just emailing them to myself or using Dropbox. The problem with that route is that it loses the book's genre, which must be something iTunes handles separately from the file.
    Anyone have any ideas on how to retain the genre metadata outside of iTunes?

  • How can I transfer video from my iPhone to my iPad without a computer?

    I do have a work computer, a MacBook Air, but I can't sync it to my iPad. My iPad is already synced to my home computer. The camera connection kit used to work, but now I have an iPhone 5s and an iPad mini: all lightening connectors. Will the lightening to USB Camera adapter do the job?

    Yep.
    However, importing pics/videos in your camera roll DOES NOT involve syncing, & you can import these directly to your computer. Launch iPhoto, connect your phone, import. If iTunes launches, quit it.
    That's all you have to do. You can import camera roll pics/videos to any computer you want.

  • Bought a new 4s and need to transfer photos from iCloud to new device. iCloud is giving me an old @me address. I do not have the email or pw  for the iCloud account. How do I retrieve this information? Thanks.

    If you need to change the iCloud ID on your new phone you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.  If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • I need to transfer files from my old power pc os x 10.2.8 to my new mac 2.7 i5 os x 10.7.5 how do I do it

    i need to transfer files from my old power pc os x 10.2.8 to my new mac 2.7 i5 os x 10.7.5 how do I do it?

    I have been asking this question to several people also.  I have used the program Super Duper to backup my old PowerPC G5 Mac to an external hard drive.  The answer I received is as follows: 
    When you first start the new Mac, you'll be asked if you want to "copy from another Mac". Point this at the old Mac, or at the backup volume created by a full "Backup - all files" of that Mac, made with Erase, then copy or Smart Update. That'll automatically bring in your applications, account information and data.
    Of course, any "copy protected" or "activated" applications will likely need to be reactivated: after all, it's a new Mac. Other than that, though, you should be ready to go on the new computer.
    I have an old computer at work and a new Mac at home.  I decided to test this by bringing my backup home to see if my new iMac computer would read it.  It worked!  I feel confident I can now transfer my old backup information to the new work computer.

  • HT1752 I need to transfer files from an 'original' iMac to a brand new one. The old Mac has no keyboard or mouse. Could it support a current wireless keyboard and mouse?

    I need to transfer files from an 'original' iMac to a brand new one. The old Mac has no keyboard or mouse. Could it support a current wireless keyboard and mouse?

    Assuming that "original" means a G3/CRT iMac, not wireless. The G3 iMacs didn't have Bluetooth. The good news, though, is that any standard USB keyboard and mouse will work with them, even the ones designed for Windows that you can pick up for ten bucks or so.

  • I need to transfer data from my old iphone to my new iphone and I cannot turn off Find my iphone

    I need to transfer data from my old iphone to my new iphone and I cannot turn off Find my iphone as my icloud password is incorrect.  I have reset this several times and also cleared cookies history etc.  none of the above makes a difference.  Any ideas?

    The ONLY thing you can do to turn off Find My iPhone is to have the correct password. There is no way around it. You can get help with the password: If you forgot your Apple ID password
    If none of those methods are possible: Apple ID: Contacting Apple for help with Apple ID account security

  • I have moved my iTunes library to a new Windows 7 PC and cannot transfer music from the new iTunes PC to my iPhone. The iPhone only accepts transfers from the original iTunes PC.

    I have moved my iTunes library to a new Windows 7 PC and cannot transfer music from the new iTunes PC to my iPhone 4S. The iPhone will only accept music transfers from the original iTunes PC. I have come to understand that an iPhone can have only one "daddy" iTunes PC, but have not been able to find out how to change the "daddy". I have done a backup of the iPhone, and a "Restore to Original Settings". Then I restored the content using the new iTunes PC. My Apps and contacts, etc. are back on the iPhone, but it still won't accept music from the new iTunes PC.

    What happens when you try to sync the iphone to the new computer?
