Unable to transfer to iMac books purchased using iPad

I have several books on the iPad that are not synced on my computer. I tried to sync the books using iTunes but I get a message saying that the books on the iPad will be replaced by the ones on my computer--to me, this means that they will be lost. Does anybody have an advice for me as to how I can backup/synch/transfer books from iPad to iMac??
My ultimate goal is to setup iPad to use iCloud and the ability to synch media (Inlcuding books) on all my devises. I need to update the iPad to v 5.1 (from 4.3.5) and I receive a notification that all media will be removed. I would like to keep the books purchased using the iPad though. I appreciate any ideas or help.

I found the solution on a discussion board related to iPad. Here is the answer: "With your iPod Touch connected and without syncing, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPod Touch/iPad."

Hi, I have purchased an audio book on iTunes from an iMac and it does not show up on the cloud so I can't download it on my iPhone. Does anyone know why and how I can proceed to transfer the audio book purchase?

Hi
I have purchased an audio book from iTunes with my iMac.
Now I wanted to listen to it on my iPhone so I proceeded to transfer the purchase and looked for the book in the purchased section of the store in the iTunes on my iPhone but it did not show up.
Does anyone know why and how I can transfer the audio book purchased on my iPhone so I can listen while away from the desk?
Thank you,
Sanya

Can you find the audio book by using the Search feature on the iPod?
Do you have the right boxes checked to sync the audio book to the iPod?
iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod
Note you have to check the boxes in Books pane for the iPod in iTunes to sync books in general and another box to sync Audio Books.

I am unable to transfer my audio book from my Mac lap top to my iPhone. Can anyone help me?

I am unable to transfer my audio book from my Mac laptop to my iPhone. Can anyone help me?

Then restore from you Mac laptop's backup, if you have not been backing up then you may be in for a very painful lesson on why backing up is the VERY FIRST thing you should do with any new Mac. Create a backup plan and use it on a regular basis. If the laptop was using 10.5.x or later then you have absolutely no excuse for not backing up. Sorry for being terse and blunt but Time Machine has been built into 10.5.x, 10.6.x and 10.7.x so we have had years to have a seamless and mindless method of backing up. If you have been using an earlier verision of OS X there are quite a number of methods of backing up.
If you aren't successful then take the laptop and iMac to your local Apple Store or AASP and they may be able to help you recover your contacts.

Just purchased used ipad. how do i change owner name on it?

just purchased used ipad. how do i change the owner name on it?

Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Contents And Settings should put the iPad back to factory settings, and you should then be able to associate your account id with it (Settings > Store) and you can give it a new name when connected to iTunes on your computer (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3965)

How much do Canadians have to pay for books purchased using iBooks?

What is the cost for Canadians to purchase books on the iPad?
Regards
Pete

It varies by the book, just as prices vary in a bookstore that carries printed books. You'd have to mention a specific title before anyone could tell you the price. Or, if you have (or have access to) an iPad, you can just go to the iBooks Store and search or browse yourself.

Unable to transfer my phone book

I'm having trouble transferring my phonebook to an apline KCE-300BT bluetooth interface. Any help would be greatly appreciated??? Thanks!

By what method do you transfer the phone book in laptop?
These two most of the time works; by doing a one-way synch(phonebook of old phone) to outlook, making the phone dominant in resolving conflict. Then doing the reversed(in new phone) making outlook dominant in resolving conflict.
The other way is just doing a backup & restore with latest pcsuites that supports both phones. Not only phonebook is restore but almost all items in memory of old.
Check which one suits you!

Books Purchased On iPad

Can you sync Apple digital book downloads with other computers?

Yes, as long as the other computers are authorized to the iTunes Store account via which the iBook was purchased. Just use the Transfer Purchased from iPad command and don't allow iTunes to sync. See this support article:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848?viewlocale=en_US
Alternatively, once you sync the iPad to your primary computer and have the iBook in iTunes, you can then copy the iBook from computer to computer via file sharing or removable medium. Again, the other computer will need to be authorized to the iTunes Store account before it will be able to sync the iBook to another iOS-based device.
Regards.

Books purchased on ipad not syncing with itunes

I have a purchased around 20 or so books on my ipad. I bouth them over time. The books that I purchased earlier in the year synced as normal and show up in tunes. The last 10 or so books will not show up in itunes?

Do they copy over if you do File > Transfer Purchases (File > Devices > Transfer Purchases on iTunes 11) ? If they are still in the store thne you should also be able to re-download them on your computer via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page.

Follow the instructions here or here; using the first set of instructions then requires syncing the second device with the iTunes library containing the content.

Honestly, it sounds to me like you got beat. You can try using recovery mode to restore the iPad, but then I'm wondering if you will be able to activate the iPad anyway if the previous owner didn't erase his iCloud account and totally wipe the device before selling it to you.
Take a look at this,

I have iphoto 6 on a 10.4.11 OSX, an old system and am unable to uopload for a book purchase unless I have iPhoto 11. Will my OS take iphoto 11? e

I have an old Mac on OSX10.4.11 with iPhoto6. When attempting an upload for an album purchase Apple tells me I must upgrade yto iPhoto 11. Will this work on such an old Mac?

The free MacTracker application can tell you what is the newest version of OS X you rMac can use. Then you'll know how far you can upgrade iPhoto in order to order that book.
Be aware that the theme you're using may not be available in later versions of iPhoto.
