PDFs missing from iBooks ( iOS 5 )

I have updated to iOS 5 & the PDF's are all missing from iBooks

This has happened to me too. It is extremely serious as I am a medical student and I have meticulously collected pdfs on my ipad and then put them in ibooks. I am engaged in research and barely scraping by on no sleep and trying to become a doctor. I cannot complete my current projects and presentations because all of my pdfs are gone now. Some people say you can just manually add them back in, but the pdfs never existed on my macbook. I acquired them all on my ipad directly. So they are not in my itunes library.
I did backup before doing the ios 5 update, but when I restore from backup the pdfs are there momentarily, then vanish, maddeningly.
This is a very serious matter. Imagine if you were in college and someone burned all your books, notes, and data. I don't think I will pass this semester and this seriously throws my goal of becoming a doctor into question. If there is anything anyone can do for me i would really appreciate it. I have the backup file but the pdfs get erased each time I restore. Please someone help me for gods sake.

Tap the cloud symbol with the down arrow next to the songs you want to download. You can also download an entire playlist by opening it, scrolling to the bottom and tapping Download All. You can download an entire album by tapping the album, then tapping the download symbol at the top of the song list. You can download an entire artist by doing the same thing after tapping the artist name.
To save on your data plan, do this while your connected to wifi (and your charger to save battery).

How can you pull in pdf's from iBooks and bring them into the Box app?

How can you pull in pdf's from iBooks and bring them into the Box app?

That sounds great, but I'm lost.
I followed these steps:
1) Open your PDF (in Adobe Acrobat Pro)
2) Chose print
The print/printer options pop-up will show.
3) In the printer section, do not use your normal printer, a printer named Adobe PDF should be an option. Chose it.
4) Under the "Page handling" section, change the Page Scaling drop-down menu to "Multiple pages per sheet".
It works fine, but it looses all of the font information and the search no longer works. How can you do it and save the font info, so the search tool continues to operate.
Am I missing anything?

HT204365 How to email pdf files from iBook in iPad?

Why I can only see "print" but no "email" button when i open my pdf files in iBooks? As far as i know i should be able to email my pdf files from ibooks right?

Yes you should be able to email a PDF from iBooks. When you tap the arrow in the upper left the option should appear.
Maybe some basic troubleshooting steps will help.
Quit the iBooks app completely and restart the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.
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.
Or .... Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
You may want to consider deleting the app and reinstalling. Tap and hold down on the app icon until it jiggles, then tap the X on the icon. Tap the home button to stop the apps from jiggling. Download iBooks again.

How do I import and export PDF's from Ibooks

How do I import and export PDF files from Ibooks on the IMAC running Mavericks?
How do I sync my PDF files in IBooks to the IPAD when they were not purchased from the bookstore?
I noticed that I could email the PDF and then add it to IBOOKS on the IPAD.
Is there a 3rd party IBOOK type reader that will address this issue?
When I upgraded Mavericks it moved all of my PDF files in ITUNES application to IBOOKS and removed all reference to those
books in ITUNES. When I purchase a book from IBOOKS store on the IMAC, the books shows up in IBOOKS on the IPAD.
All of my PDF files will not sync up with the IPAD.
I do hope this is a problem that Apple will address and would like to know when the fix will be available.

Hello,
Thank you. I found that option you pointed out. I can now change it from 1080i to 1080p and I can chance the resolution. However I still can't change the frame rate. It still stays at 29.97.
Could this be due to the camera? I am using a Canon VIXIA HF S100 with 30p and 24p frame rate options. I suspect that it does not really shoot at true 24p and only does 24p within 60i.
Frankly, I don't really care about getting 24p support too much but it would be very nice to have the option.
I'll keep toying with the program. Still, anymore ideas or thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you Wild Giles.

Can't open PDF file from iBook on MAC. error "The application "ACDSee Pro" can't be opened."

Hi arewers,
Do you have Adobe Reader installed, by any chance? If so, are you aware if it was the PPC or Intel version which you installed? In any case, for the time being, have a quick look in 'HD/Library/Internet Plug-ins/' using Finder and see if there's an Adobe plugin lying around. If there is, try moving it out of the folder and restarting Safari.

I cannot recover my pdf files from ibooks after upgrading to os 6

Does anyone know how to recover pdf files from ibooks after os 6 upgrade?

In your next-to-last post, you said: "... when I recovered the iBooks app, it was empty due to having a different owner of the app."
I'm suggesting you change the owner of the app and maybe then it won't be empty.
You can delete/remove the app and get your own from the app store and install it. Maybe then you'll see your PDFs.

How do i move a collection of PDF's from iBooks to my desktop?

I have 100's of PDF's in iBooks on my iPad that I now want to move to my desktop?
I don't want to email each one and re-file them.
When I go to sync with iTunes I get scay mesagess saying all the data on my ipad will be erased!!!
When I transfer purchases it move books that I have purchased but not PDF's that I have created

I don't know of an efficient way to copy all the PDFs in one go, although it might be possible using a thrid party tool. If your iPad isn't associated with your current library however see the user tip Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device

Samples missing from iBooks iPhone

Why are samples missing from pre-order books on iBooks for the iPhone? For example, Dot Complicated is currently a pre-order book. If you go to it from iBooks on the Mac or iPad, you can download a sample of the book. If you try the same thing from the iPhone, the Sample button is missing.

The Redmatica stuff sure is nice -- if you've got the dough. I'd recommend springing for the full Compendium Pro bundle though, if you're intent on using EXS24 as your primary sample-playback instrument. I've got Keymap and have barely used it over the past couple of years; but maybe next year I'll have more time to put into it.

My PDFs disappeared from iBooks after upgrading to iOS 8 on iPad Air

I've just upgraded my iPad air to iOS 8, via iTunes, and restore process. I had a fresh backup, so my iPad has all on it just as before except my PDFs in iBooks. There are just the purcheses in it. Is there any way to get my files back?

All; I had the same exact issue and there is a quick remedy for this which I'll outline below. Even the Senior level tech at Apple was unaware of this and I figured it out myself.
Once your iPhone is connected to iTunes and docked to your Mac, you'll note that there exists a tab, 2nd from right in iTunes 11.4 named 'Books.'
Select this tab and you'll note all of your purchased books and PDF's you've previously chosen to reside in iBooks app on iOS devices are displayed as a mirror image of what actually resides in your iBooks App that by default should result in your doc on the Mac. You must SELECT all or check individually each respective book or PDF document that you wish to sync with and reside on your iOS device.
Just as is the case with Music or Photos you may elect to manage your library of books and apps MANUALLY. In my case there are certain apps I know I want on my iPhone; conversely, there are apps I want to reside ONLY on my iPad and NOT on my iPhone 6. So this is how you control and manage this aspect of the "iBooks" app or program . It's easy!
Good luck!

HT4059 How do I attach a PDF file from iBooks to a private message on Facebook?

I am trying to send an attachment PDF via private message on FB and when I press attach file on the message only my iPhoto shows up with no option to retrieve the PDF that is currently in my iBooks .

From within the iOS mail app, the only files you have access to for attachment purposes are those located in the Photos app. The Gmail app I cannot respond to. To send a file in Dropbox, you will need to start in Dropbox and use the File function (box with an arrow).
If this is something you need to accomplish on a regular basis, you might wish to consider an alternate email app. Mailbox can handle attachments from Dropbox (but is limited to Gmail and iCloud mail). there may well be others that will handles this.

PDFs disappear from iBooks on iPad

Recently, I installed video material on my iPad which brought it "0.01GB over capacity". I deleted one film to free some space. Soon thereafter, I received an "iTunes can't read the contents of my iPad" error in iTunes and I was unable to install any more videos/audio etc. on my iPad from iTunes. I reset all settings on the iPad, which did not solve the problem. Following an online hint, I deleted the files
/iTunes_Control/iTunes/iTunesControl
/iTunes_Control/iTunes/iTunesDB
on the iPad (both files had been of size 0 before deletion). Thereafter, iTunes started to see the iPad again, BUT all my PDFs in iBooks became invisible to both iTunes and iBooks. However, all the PDFs still exist in the /Books directory on the iPad, with cryptic four-letter filenames, and they still take up space, appearing in the Other storage category in iTunes. How do I get iBooks to see the PDFs again?

This is just a guess since I know almost squat about Apple and the ios, but if you are able to see the pdf files in the /books directory, could you not back them up to the computer, delete them from your ipad and then reinstall them via iTunes?
Saying that, you have probably already figured out the solution to your problem by now.
Good luck anyway.

Outside PDF transfer from iBook to nook

I recently bought a travel guidebook online from an outside source other than iTunes. However, when asked what program I wanted to use to open it I chose iBook. Since the book I downloaded was in PDF format I can not highlight portions of it using iBook. I am wondering if there is anyway to transfer it to nook so that I can highlight passages. Also the device I am using is an iPad if that changes anything. Thanks for any help.

Encrypt PDF missing from menu?

Hello all. I'm having a slight problem here. When I go to the print screen in any application, and go to the PDF menu, The option to Encrypt PDF is missing. I have Yojimbo installed (http://www.barebones.com/products/yojimbo/), and in the menu is "Send PDF to Yojimbo". Did Yojimbo possibly remove these items? Can't see why it would. Anyone know how I can get these back? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Could be system corruption. You could try doing an Archive and Install:
How to Perform an Archive and Install
1. Be sure to use Disk Utility first to repair the disk before performing the Archive and Install.
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger) and/or TechTool Pro (4.5.2 for Tiger) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Do not proceed with an Archive and Install if DU reports errors it cannot fix. In that case use Disk Warrior and/or TechTool Pro to repair the hard drive. If neither can repair the drive, then you will have to erase the drive and reinstall from scratch.
3. Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When you reach the screen to select a destination drive click once on the destination drive then click on the Option button. Select the Archive and Install option. You have an option to preserve users and network preferences. Only select this option if you are sure you have no corrupted files in your user accounts. Otherwise leave this option unchecked. Click on the OK button and continue with the OS X Installation.
4. Upon completion of the Archive and Install you will have a Previous System Folder in the root directory. You should retain the PSF until you are sure you do not need to manually transfer any items from the PSF to your newly installed system.
5. After moving any items you want to keep from the PSF you should delete it. You can back it up if you prefer, but you must delete it from the hard drive.
6. You can now download a Combo Updater directly from Apple's download site to update your new system to the desired version as well as install any security or other updates. You can also do this using Software Update.
