Trouble adding pdf's & books to library

I want to add some new pdf's & books to my iPad library. Do the usual add to library, select file & nothing happens. I'm using a gen 1 iPad & sync from my Mac Mini running OS 1. What am I missing?

  • Trouble adding PDF printer

    I seem to be unable to add PDF to my list of printers, as I have been able to do in the past. Is it no longer necessary to add a .PPD file to print directly to PDF from, say, Illustrator or InDesign?
    Any help would be most appreciated.
    Thank you!

  • I'm trying to get organized and I just added a bunch of books and pdfs to my itunes library. They were all added immediately to my ipad and iphone even though, itunes automatically putting books on my idevices

    I'm trying to get organized and I just added a bunch of books and pdfs to my itunes library. They were all added immediately to my ipad and iphone even though I did not want this. I added them to itunes using add to library and I have both devices set to sync only selected books.
    How do I do this in the future so this doesnt happen? Its a lot of work to now manually erase them from each device and it sent my phone over capacity.
    thanks

    I dont see the difference in the posts. I dont think theres anything inaccurate or misleading about what I wrote. The items were immediately added to my ipad and my iphone, even though I have them both set to sync only select items. As soon as I added new titles to my itunes library, they were immediately added to the devices. Not on the next sync. Immediately. Both devices were plugged into the computer at the time. Sorry if I failed to mention they were plugged in but I dont see the signifigance youre making out of it. The problem persists anyway.
    Now that I did a test without the devices plugged in, the new items were still added as soon as I plugged my devices into the computer ( I do not have them set to sync over wifi).
    Since I have both devices set to manually select items to sync, of course I want to manually select new items to sync. For instance, I am not going to read any of these magazines or books on my phone, ever, and I dont want to waste valuable space with them.
    So I'm trying your advice:
    I just tried deselecting sync books. It erased all content from ibooks on my device. I then dragged
    one title onto the device, and it just goes back to syncing select books, with the one title selected.
    It appears that wont work to solve my issue. The next time I add something to itunes it will be put on my phone. Is this really something most people want? To select to manualy control what content is synced, but then have things automatically added. It seems inconsistent to me.

  • I have an iPad 2 with iOS 5.1 and iBooks version 2.1.1. I have 64GB of storage, 80% is used. iBooks is using 250MB of storage. I have a large number of PDF files in my iBooks library. At this time I can not add another book or PDF file to my library.

    I have an iPad 2 with iOS 5.1 and iBooks version 2.1.1. I have 64GB of storage, 80% is used. iBooks is using 250MB of storage. I have a large number of PDF files in my iBooks library. At this time I can not add another book or PDF file to my library.  When I try to move a PDF file to iBooks the system works for a while...sometimes the file appears and than disappears....sometimes the file never appears. Is ther some limit to the number of books or total storage used in IBooks?  Thanks....

    Hi jybravo70, 
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    It sounds like you may be experiencing issues on your non iOS 8 devices because iOS 8 is required to set up or join a Family Sharing group.
    The following information is located in the print at the bottom of the article. 
    Apple - iCloud - Family Sharing
    Family Sharing requires a personal Apple ID signed in to iCloud and iTunes. Music, movies, TV shows, and books can be downloaded on up to 10 devices per account, five of which can be computers. iOS 8 and OS X Yosemite are required to set up or join a Family Sharing group and are recommended for full functionality. Not all content is eligible for Family Sharing.
    Have a great day, 
    Joe

  • How can I recover my purchased books and PDF files in my library?

    How can I recover my purchased books and PDF files in my library?

    you can re-download all purchases from the iBooks store at any time. PDF's you will need to have kept the PDF on your hard drive or on a service such as Dropbox, then you can re-import them into iTunes.

  • Adding Windows folders to iTunes library - 2 copies of song

    Having some trouble figuring out how to import preexisting mp3's into the iTunes library. The mp3's are ripped from my own CD collection using Windows Media Player. For discussion let's say I have 50 mp3's in a folder I created called iPod1. I go to iTunes and under the File menu click on "Add a folder to library" - no problem iTunes recognizes the folder and adds them to the library. Adding additional songs to the library is where the trouble starts. If I add songs to the the original Windows folder (as I'd prefer to) when I attempt to add the folder with the additional songs to the iTunes library - all of the songs are imported including the originals giving me doubles of the originals. Any suggestions appreciated. Rich

    Thanks - that makes sense. Ultimately the goal would be to have all of one's mp3 files in one folder in Windows and all of them in the iTunes library ... right? Right now I only have a portion of them in the library. There are a lot of them so it might be best to start all over - get them all in one folder and "Add that folder" to the library. Then any new files can be added individually (sorted by date as you suggest). I understand that I would lose current playlists etc. All above correct?? Rich

By reimporting that folder sometimes iTunes can find the song. I prefer not to have my mp3's scattered in a bunch of folders in Windows. Seems like I'm missing something here. Suggestions appreciated. Thanks, Rich

  • Trouble opening pdf's - I have received several pdf's from a friend via e-mail (Thunderbird). Some of them open just fine but others give me the message: "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired."

    Trouble opening pdf's - I have received several pdf's from a friend via e-mail (Thunderbird). Some of them open just fine but others give me the message: "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired." My friend made sure that the files in question opened without issue on his computer (a PC). Further, I was able to open one of these "damaged" files on my Android phone, but I cannot open them on the Macbook Air. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Back up all data.
    Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
    From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
    The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present.
    If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

  • How to get rid of blank white page next to cover page when converting an indesign file into a pdf flip book

    Hey Everyone,
    I created an catalog using indesign and now I want to convert that into a pdf flip book. I have exported it as a SWF then changing the SWF back into a pdf. It works great however, I keep getting a blank white page next too my cover page, and I really don't want this. I find it very distracting and visually unappealing. Is there any way to get rid of this blank white page? Or any other suggestions on how to create a flip book out of an indesign file.

    It sounds as if you're not checking the pagination properties of the chapter after the problem within the book file.
    The book file settings always trump the component file's settings.
    So this would mean that, if Chapter 3 is set in the book file to start on a Right page, the book enforces this by adding a blank page to Chapter 2.
    You should be able to fix this by selecting all the component chapters in the book, right-clicking and setting all the pagination properties to start on Next Available page, but I don't have 7 on this system so I can't give you the exact key strokes.

  • Trouble Viewing PDFs in Preview

    Hey all,
    I am having trouble viewing PDFs in Preview 4.0 on my MacBook Pro, running Leopard (10.5.1). I can Quick Look the documents from my desktop (or any other folder) fine. However, when I double-click the document to open it in Preview, i get nothing. Preview opens, but does not display the document, or anything for that matter. I even tried to open PDFs from the Preview menu, but to no avail.
    I just upgraded the internal hard drive, but everything else seems to be working fine, and this seems like a weird issue to be caused by a laptop upgrade.
    Any ideas? I tried Disk Utility, but still nothing.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Have you tried deleting Preview's pref file? It should be located as a ".plist" file under preferences in your library folder.
    Find the file "com.apple.Preview.plist" and move it to the trash for the time being. Run Preview again and see if that'll help. If this fixes it you can safely delete the .plist file that's in the trash.
    Good luck.

  • ITunes 11.1.5 Why I can't see added PDF files!

    Hey guys,
    I added some PDF files to my Library and I still can't see them on the left side menu where I can se my Videos, music and Apps...
    what could be the reason?
    I am using iTunes 11.1.5 on Mac OSX 10.9.2
    Regards

    You no longer use iTunes to handle pdfs.
    iBooks > File > Add to library.
    If the pdf is an email attachment: control click > Open with > iBooks.
    Some pdfs on websites have the option to 'Open in iBooks'.

  • Trouble adding comments using Reader X from enabled comments in Acrobat 9

    I am a Technical Writer with Acrobat 9. Regularly I make my documents comment enabled for reader. IT has been updating systems and some of my recipients now have Reader X. Because of the difficulty they have, when they open the commentable PDF they are having trouble adding comments and wind up printing the document, marking up the hard copy, scanning it and emailing it back. What am I doing wrong? Is Reader X not downward compatible? We want to move forward with technology, not backwards.

    Right click the document opened in Reader X and then click "Select Tool".
    Hope that helps.
    Thanks,

  • All text in PDF iphoto books displays 1 or more inches lower than it should

    Hi all
    Im having a bit of trouble with my iPhoto books. Regardless of the theme when I turn the book into a pdf the text displays at least 1 inch lower that it should. It looks ok in iPhoto but is rendered incorrectly when saved as a pdf. Which means i can not get them printed.
    I presume some setting is wrong but I cant work out what it is.
    thanks
    Steve

    1) it depends on what kind of placeholder it is, title or body.
    2) incorrect. You can make your slide master and then save as a theme.
    3)incorrect. You may need to make the item a placeholder in the document tab of the inspector.
    4) it is easier and if you're coming from PPT it taks a little getting used to. The only thing i prefer PPT to Keynote for is the master slides (in PPT 2007).
    5) If I'm reading this right there is an option to make "default" for master. Sorry I can't check i don't have my Mac with me.

    Are the PDFs and ibooks on your computer's iTunes ? If so then you should be able to re-sync them, if not then you can re-download ibooks for free as long as they are still available in the store and you use the same iTunes account as you originally used to buy them : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519 . The backup doesn't contain the contents of the ibooks app, so for them to be restored to the device they needed to be in your iTunes library.
