Sync ebooks to ipad creates ghost images in iBook , help fix please

Hi
My Partner got a new ipad air for Xmas , and I helped her put some music and books on it for her .
However when we sync the books from iTunes (new copy just put on her computer )( windows vista ) some of the books appear fine in iBook, but many other have a ghostly appearance , just a cover and many covers the same in ghost .
Most of the books came from iTunes and were fine there all look fine but only on ipad does not work. Did sync with cable not wifi . And all are in correct format as works in iTunes .
What's going on and how to fix . I already tried deleting via iTunes ( re sync with no books ) but that also leaves ghost images on ipad iBooks . Then sync again but still have same problem .
Any suggestions appreciated , had a google and the same question is around but no one has answered it yet .
That's mark

Hi, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
Which exact iBook model is it?
You can choose from this list:
http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/ibook/index-ibook.html
Which version of the operating system is it running now?
How much RAM is installed?
What kind of optical drive does it have? (CD-ROM, CD-RW, DVD, Combo, or SuperDrive?)
(Sometimes these older model Macs simply won't work with the newer gear.)

Trying to download an ebook on ipad. Keep getting message "ibooks is required."

Been trying to download ebooks on ipad. Keep getting message "ibooks is required." deleted ibooks and reinstalled, but still same problem. Even erased my ipad, still no luck. Can someone suggest a solution. Extremely frustrating. Wake up apple..
Thanks in advance.

Try simply restarting your device. Also, try signing out of iTunes and sign back in. If that doesn't work then go into the iBooks app and get books from there. You can tap Store in the upper left hand corner to take you to the ibooks store.

So, your iPhone (and new shuffle) still work properly with iTunes, correct?
Your 1st gen shuffle... It's the white one with USB plug, that looks like a USB flash drive...?
Are you able to see it in Windows, and maybe change the drive letter back to E:?

Lost all my contacts in Mac address book. Tried syncing my iPhone/iPad contacts to Mac via iTunes and is not working. Please help

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Unless you have the contacts backed up somewhere, you won't be able to restore them.
You and your son should have your own iCloud accounts then you can keep your own contacts and calendars etc and avoid deleting each others.

Please help me for the same.
Thanks!

De-sync all your music to remove it from the device. Then reset your device: hold down the home button along with the power button until you see the Apple, then let go. Now try re-syncing your music.

"New" iPad display "ghosting"/"image retention"

My "new" iPad/ipad3 is experiencing intermittent "ghosting" or what apple is calling "image retention:" some elements of a previous image on the display remain faintly even after the display changes. The retained image does not have to be on the screen very long and I have my auto lock set to the minimum 2 minutes. I called apple about this and was set up with an appointment at my local apple store. When I brought my iPad in, it was not experiencing any ghosting, so I didn't really have anything to show, but the "genius" I spoke to said this was normal, even clarifying that they referred to it as image retention, and that it is a short term issue that goes away. While this has been my experience, that is not something I expect to be normal behavior for an iPad. It is obviously not mentioned anywhere in the product description and is not in any sort of documentation. I said as much to the "genius" and said that I would like a replacement that did not have this problem, which would be covered under apple care. He said all iPads do this so there was nothing he could do.
Is this really the case? Is this issue something that just happens and is accepted? Any pointers on resolving the issue? Thanks everyone.

I have exactly the same issue very recently on my iPad2, which already beyond the warranty, I wouldn't expect to have a replacement like you guys do, but I'll try to talk to the "Genius" anyway, otherwise I'll feel I was totally fooled, Apple's products are supposed to be quality, solid and stable, how come it only lasts a year and four months. These image retentions are annoying, sometimes it's way worse than faintly visible. I tried to restart the iPad, but still it comes back when you stay on a image for a minute or so. I googled this problem around Internet, some say that this can be a hardware problem, one person pointed out that the LG screens which was used for the early batches are most likely where the problem come from, but I'm not sure. Apple must give a resonable answer and solution other than saying it's normal. I have been a die-hard Apple fan before this happened. BTW, I am here in Canada.

The PDF files I synced to my iPad isn't showing in iBooks. Why?

I added the files to the library, then clicked the sync iPad menu option. It acted like it worked but the PDFs aren't showing in IBooks. Now the sync iPad isn't available anymore so I can't try it again. Please help!

On the bookshelf in the iBooks app you've tried tapping the Collections button the top left and selecting PDFs ?

Syncing and lost iPad photos, apps and email. Help please

Just tried to update my mums ipad2 with iOS5. Connected her ipad to my computer. Went into itunes and entered her apple id and password and then selected to upgrade to iOS5. When i went back to her ipad everything had been lost. The iPad is now coming up under my name when conneting. How do I retrieve her information. And change it back to say its hers. Any help appreciated???

I never heard of this before. But when you installed was it on her computer or yours. You should keep the device connected to just one computer as a general rule. It thats not the problem then I don't know. You might be able to simply go to her library on the computer of and drag and drop the apps music and everything else back into her ipad. If that doesnt help I recommend trying to scedual an apple genuis bar appointmemt.

IPad 3 Startup Image (NON-FULLSCREEN) - [HELP]

I am still seeing some strange flicker happen with my startup image. It loads the image in the right placement .. then shifts it up ( seems to be shifting it to Y = 0 )
I am including the following images ( I have also tried removing the Default.png image and the problem still persists ).
Default-Landscape - 1024 x 748
Default-Landscape@2x - 2048 x 1496
Default - 1024 x 748
Any ideas ?

The splash screen sizes were always written up based on you keeping the status bar showing. The advice has been modified now I think, and you should be able to use 1024x768 and 2048x1536 images, which is correct for full screen use. If you do keep the status bar showing it will happily sit on top of the top 20 pixels of the image. So, change to those values and things should be ok.
BTW, Defalut.png is just for iPhone size, and is portrait, even if your app is landscape. You want it to be 320x480, and you can have [email protected] as 640x960 for iPhone Retina.

A pop-up about iCloud back-up came up on my iPad and won't go away, help/solutions please?

iCloud does a back-up every two weeks on my iPad but my internet has stopped working the past two weeks, now that it is fixed this icon still will not go away. It says;
'iCloud Backup
This iPad hasn't been backed up in 2 weeks. Backups happen when this iPad is plugged in, locked, and connected to Wi-Fi'
with a button underneath saying OK. It won't let me click off it to do anything else. It won't even allow me to turn it off.
I have tried doing what it says but nothing changes. It has been two days now and still no change.
Can someone please help me solve this, thanks

The same problem happened on my iPhone but my home button is not working anymore. What else can I do to reset the phone as I can't use it if the pop up doesn't go away.

Disk Utility Error 61 when attempting to create disk image on external driv

I would like to make occasional archive backups of my three macintosh computers. I bought a new Western Digital 2TB drive for this purpose, and formatted it as Mac OS Extended. Trying to do a disk image backup using Disk Utility, I follow the directions:
- Startup from an install DVD.
- Start Disk Utilities and select "Restore"
- Drag "Macintosh HD" into the Source box
- Click on "New Image" and select compressed and 128-bit AES encryption
This leads to the error message: Unable to create "....." (error -61)
I have enocountered this problem both with my iMac G5 and a MacBook, both running Leopard.
Does anyone know what this error means, what I am doing wrong, and/or if there is another way to create disk image backups? Help!

1. For reasons I don't know disc images seem to become more fragile the larger they get. They also can be subject to file corruption that affects the entire disc image, whereas file corruption on a clone would only affect certain files.
2. You cannot put multiple clones on the same volume. Each clone must be on a separate volume, but you can have multiple volumes on a single drive simply by partitioning the drive accordingly. Of course you need a drive large enough to accommodate each clone. Each clone should be to a space equal to the capacity of the cloned drive.
3. I'm not a big fan of TM, although I must confess it has become more reliable since it's release, especially with Snow Leopard. However, there are many backup utilities that can create clones, perform incremental updates, and archive changed files. See the following:
