Using iBooks on iPad Syncing Problem

Using iBooks on iPad I added several books directly while not connected to iTunes.  When syncing later, the books do not appear in iTunes (Windows) but seem to stay in iBooks on the iPad.  Why don't they show in the Books folder?  Why aren't they added to the Books in iTunes? How do I get them there?  All software is at the current versions.

It may be your computer is not yet authorised. Check by going in iTunes to Store > Authorise this computer. If that's not the case, simply try going to File > Transfer Purchases
That should get any purchased content off the iPad onto the computer
Hope this helps

  • IPad syncing problem - HELP!

    iPad sync problem - HELP!  I keep getting this message "...cannot be synced because there is not enough free space to hold all of the items in the iTunes library (additional ...space needed)"  and yet I seem to have plenty of space on the iPad.  This just started today.  I even tried deleting some things to make even more room, but it didn't help.  Any ideas??? 
    I was thinking of restoring, but I've never done it...  should I? 
    thank you!

  • Iphone/Ipad Syncing Problems

    When I plug my iphone into the computer I keep getting the following message."Itunes was unable to load provider data from sync services. Reconnect or try again later." Can anyone tell me what this means and how to correct it?

    I have done this but the probelm persists. The issue only seems to be with my Iphone 4 as my ipad syncs fine.
    This article mentioned outlook which I don't use and unplugging all my USb devices. I can't do that as all my itunes data is on a portable HD connected to the computer via USB.
    Any other suggestions would be appreciated.
    Thanks

  • Two-thirds of .pdfs don't appear in iBooks after iPad sync

    I'm using a 2-month old iPad 3 hooked up to a MacBookPro.
    When I sync, using the Lightning-to-USB cable, I can see 34 .pdf files in my iPad, as its displayed in iTunes on the MBP screen.
    Yet, on the iPad, only 10 .pdf files appear on the bookshelves.
    As it happens, these are the 10 most recent purchases/downloads. (None via the iTunes Store, btw - books bought at the Store appear as they should.)
    I have powered down, done a hard reboot, re-installed iBooks in the iPad, checked that the appropriate checkboxes have been selected under the PDFs tab in iTunes, and toggled between Collections on the iPad. All updates are up-to-date.
    I also have iCloud on, but the .pdfs are backed up to the MBP, not to iCloud.
    This is a recent problem - previously everything was as it should be.
    Any suggestions or thoughts would be gratefully received.
    Thanks
    Chris Gibbons

    The best and simplest workaround for this is to upload the epub/pdf to dropbox on your mac, then open them in dropbox on your ipad/iphone.
    I have the first ipad running iOS 5, and this method worked.

  • IPad Sync problem with new iTunes 12.1.0.50

    I just installed iTunes 12.1.0.50 and for the first time I can't sync with my iPad 1 (IOS 5.1.1) which worked for years prior to this iTunes update.  Every time i connect my device through USB cable my iTunes stops working with a message it cannot not connect and can't find location for device and I have to force quit the application. I have reset my iPad, I have uninstalled and re-installed iTunes and tried multiple times to get this message to disappear and sync my iPad device like I use to. It looks like the sync works with my iPhone 6.
    Does anyone know a fix or having the same problem?
    MacAir IOS X Yosemite 10.10.2
    iTunes 12.1.0.50  (just installed)

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
    The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
              SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
    from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
    Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try to sync. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.

  • Bt hub 3, itunes, iphone, ipad syncing problems - not seen

    Im using the new infinity BT hub 3 and there are now issues with syncing the iphone, ipad and itunes.  iTunes does not see them as devices consistantly and when it does (looking for "device"), it says it is not available to sync (not found on the network) and promply they disappear from the upper right hand corner.  BT say it's an itunes issue.
    I have tried changing from WPA to WEP but this doesn't work, nor does plugging the computer into the ethernet. 
    The devices show as being on the network by the router, but are not available to sync in itunes
    What do we think people? Any ideas to fix this?

    As a fallback you could try using the usb cable rather than wifi.
    However to you main problem with the wifi. I to have BT infinity and not only was I having issues with not seeing the devices but also a slow speed of streaming to Apple TV3.
    Turns out my issue was interference on the wifi from other wifi networks on the same channel.
    Mountain Lion has a new wifi utility details here
    http://9to5mac.com/2012/07/31/use-mountain-lions-new-wi-fi-scan-utility-to-optim ize-your-home-wireless-network/
    Found thayt there seemed to be 3 or 4 houses on channel 6, Changed mine to channel 11, via the BT hub admin page. When everyting settled down again plugged in my devices via USB made sure they were wifi sync enabled and now all works as it should.
    If you do not run mountain lion then look for istumbler on google, does the same job and its free

  • IPad syncing problems

    Hi,
    in the last couple of iTunes versions (currently on 10.2.2), when syncing iPad (first version), i get two messages pop up......
    1. iTunes could not back up the iPad "name of ipad" because an error occurred.
    2. iTunes could not backup as there is already a session in use.
    Also when backing up on step 1 of 5, it gets about 90% along, then freezes.
    I have recently restored but this does still not fix the issue.
    is anyone else having this problem?

    Check this apple article out -> http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2529
    Im not sure if it will fix that first thing, but it mentions the exact error in your second post.
    WTH.

  • IPad Syncing problems with iOS 7.1

    I upgraded to iOS 7.1. Now iTunes can't find the book and video files when trying to sync my ipad. Any suggestions?

    All of the original files are in my Download directory. I redid the "Add file to Library" for my books. Followed the process then synced the iPad but still had the same problem.
    I'll try it again just to be sure.
    Thank you for taking thetime to write and try and help. Very much appreciated

    I have the 64G iPad non GSM model.

    Although not a final solution, I've been able to bypass that problem by first syncing only two or three faces, and then going back to sync the full iPhoto library.
    Hope this may help you!

  • HT1386 IPad syncing problem

    when i connect my ipad using USB cable, its name is not showing in ITunes on the left handside. anyone could help resolve this problem?

    1. Make sure that your device is not hidden (left hand pane). If it just reads device then toggle between SHOW and HIDE.
    2. Try all the other ports on your computer, even a number of times.
    3. Make sure your lead /connections are not faulty.
    4. If you have another computer try plugging your device into it without taking any action, give it a moment, remove it and try it back in your other computer again.
    5. Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes installed.
    6. If using Widows, make sure all Windows Updates are installed.
    7. Failing all that, see here - http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538 for Windows and http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1591 for Macs
    8. And failing all that put the device into Recovery mode. See here and note the paragraph 'If you restore from a different computer.... ' down near the bottom of the page -

  • Ipad syncing problem

    hi,I have bought this ipad (with retina display) today and I gave it to my friend and he synced a lot of apps and games on it,but now that I want to sync my movies in my own itunes this alert comes up and says :"this ipad "blah blah blah" is synced with another itunes library.do you want to erase this ipad and sync with this itunes library?" WHAT SHOULD I DO? I SERIOUSLY NEED THESE VIDEOS ON THIS IPAD WHILE KEEPING THE APPS MY FRIEND SYNCED.PLEASE SAY ITS POSSIBLE...IM HOMBLY WAITING.(I DONT KNOW WHAT HOMBLY MEANS ANYWAY!)

    Apps, games, etc. belong to exactly one person.  If you gave this iPad to your friend to sync his/her apps and games, then those apps belong to your friend and not you.  So naturally when you try to sync the iPad to your stuff, it will want to erase your friend's stuff.
    You need to purchase the apps and games you want in your own account using your own Apple ID.

  • IPad syncing problem under Mavericks

    Since I installed Mavericks on my iMac, syncing my iPad 2 works but the operation never completes. I can unplug the iPad and use it, but when I come back to iTunes, the wheel keeps turning. Even if I plug it back later, the syncing will not end.
    What's the cure, please?

    Not really a reply: addition of information.
    I just attempted a new synchronization. The arrangement of icons on the screen was updated, but the new photos are not showing up on the iPad.
    In iTunes, the message reads (my translation): Waiting for the application of modifications. But the Apply button isn't showing!
    Thanks for the help.
