Why did my PDFs disappear when I updated to iBooks 3 on my iPad 1?

I only had a handful of regular books from the bookstore, but I had *a lot* of PDF software manuals, camera manuals, etc sorted and organized in my library as well. I found the books under "purchased", but the PDFs are gone with the wind. Trust me, I never deleted them. I use them fairly regularly, or at least I did until now. When the iBooks update came through, there was nothing that said I needed to backup everything first. I thought it was just another app update. What the frack?

I have PDF files in iBooks as well but didn't lose any during the update.
Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after the iPad shuts down, then press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds). Ignore the "Slide to power off".

    Ralph-
    I'm sorry you deleted the albums from Elements. I hope you had a copy elsewhere. We will close and lock this discussion since you posted on our other site with the same issue and we can communicate there on this issue:

  • Why did my apps disappear when I signed up for iCloud?

    I signed up for iCloud for my iPhone and when I finished setting it up, the look of the buttons on my phone changed and the apps for things like Twitter and Facebook were gone. Are they still on my phone? How do I find them? Do I have to re-download? Help!

    I just figured it out. My 2 pages of apps turned into 3, even though page 2 only has 1 app on it. My missing apps are on page 3. Why? Don't care.

  • Why did all contacts disappear when I turned on iCloud?

    Yesterday I turned on iCloud for my contact info, and when I tried to access my contacts some hours later, discovered that all my contacts disappeared from my iPhone4.
    When I turned off iCloud for my contacts (iCloud is still on for other stuff) my contacts immediately reappeared.
    What gives?

    Thanks for the advice, but after this and other hassles, I've decided to not use iCloud in any way.  I'm sticking with the old way of syncing my iphone via the cable and iTunes as well.  Suits me just fine.
    Other than not providing a detailed manual on iOS5 in general, and iCloud in particular, I'm not blaming Apple here.  I used to be on top of my Mac and Apple devices, but somewhere along the road I got left behind, and I just don't have the time anymore to catch up, especially when that means doing so by trial and error. 
    I'm still an avid fanboy of my Apple computer, iPhone and recently Apple TV.  I'm sure iCloud is wonderful, but having never successfully used it, I don't miss it. 
    Thanks again.

  • HT5085 I have found that at least 3 music videos that I had previously purchased are not available in my I-tunes music video list.  I paid for them over a year ago, why are they not accessible, and why did they just disappear from my lists?

    I have found that at least 3 music videos that I had previously purchased are not available in my I-tunes music video list.  I paid for them over a year ago, why are they not accessible, and why did they just disappear from my lists?

    Have you deleted anything from your iTunes library ? Have you checked to see if they are still on your computer, but not listed in your iTunes library ?
    If not then do they show in the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage for redownloading ? If they don't show there and others do and they are still in your country's store, then check to see if they are hidden : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919
    If they are no longer in your store for redownloading (or you aren't in a country where music videos can be redownloaded) then you will need to copy them back from your backup of your library/downloads.

    why did i lose apps when i synced with a new computer

    Because ipod touch will sycn with one computer at a time.  Syncing to another wil erase the current content.
    You should copy everything from your old computer to your new one.
    You can redownload apps:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • Why did my ringtones disappear after i sync my iphone4

    why did my ringtones disappear after i sync my iphone4.  I checked them in the 'tones' and clicked 'sync' and they are still not showing up on my phone???

    Make sure you have checked on your Device Settings > Sounds > Ringtones > they should appear under Ringtones categories and listed above the system ringtones that came with IOS.
    If you still don't find them, uncheck 'SYNC TONES', sync then re-check SYNC TONES and sync again.

  • My previous session disappeared when I updated, how can I get it back?

    My previous session disappeared when I updated, how can I get it back?

    If you go to the History menu, is "Restore Previous Session" available? You can check that either:
    * "3-bar" menu button > History
    * classic menu bar: History
    If it's grayed out, then that's a bad sign.
    Do not close Firefox. First, try to rescue the following files:
    Open your current Firefox settings (AKA Firefox profile) folder using either
    * "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Troubleshooting Information
    * (menu bar) Help > Troubleshooting Information
    * type or paste about:support in the address bar and press Enter
    In the first table on the page, click the "Show Folder" button.
    In the window that launches, scroll down:
    (1) Double-click into the '''sessionstore-backups''' folder. Anything from the relevant date/time? If so, copy it to a safe location such as your Documents folder or Desktop.
    (2) Back at the main level, scroll down to the sessionstore file(s). Same question. If so, copy it to a safe location such as your Documents folder or Desktop.
    The kinds of files you may find among your sessionstore files are:
    * sessionstore.js and recovery.js: the windows and tabs in your currently live Firefox session (or, if Firefox is closed, your last session)
    * recovery.bak: a backup copy of recovery.js
    * previous.js: the windows and tabs in your last Firefox session; sessionstore.bak for pre-33 versions of Firefox
    * upgrade.js-''build_id'': the windows and tabs in the Firefox session that was live at the time of your last update; sessionstore.bak-''datetime'' for pre-33 versions of Firefox
    If you come up with something promising, you may be able to have Firefox use it for your next session (details if relevant).

  • Why did my contacts vanish when I downloaded iso 5

    When I updated the phone my contacts all were gone. 15 years of people.

    Simply downloading won't erase anything.  Did you install too?  If you installed too then normally it also should not affect the library but sometimes for strange reasons it does which is why you need to do a computer backup before installing any updates of any kind.  Do you have a backup?

  • Why is iWork not free when I update to ios7

    I purchase my iPhone 5 last Seprember 7. I've read that iWork will be free for all iOS device purchase after September 1st. But why is it not downloaded in my iPhone when I updated to iOS 7? When I check in the apple store it is sti $9.99. Have I misread something?

    No, JLupina, you did not read incorrectly.
    iWork is free when you purchase a new ios device beginning Sept 20.
    Downloading the new OS is not a purchase, and certainly not a purchase of a new device.
    Them's the rules.

  • Why did my project disappear from the project library?

    I recently finished a project, exported it to the "project file" in the Movie folder, and from there burned it to a disk. No problem. Since then, I have been thinking about making a couple of changes to the project, but when I opened the Project Library in iMovie, lo and behold, it was nowhere to be found. All of my other projects were there, but this one was gone.
    I looked in the project file in the Movie folder, and there it was, along with the movie, but I can't edit it any further in its present location. If it were in the project library (where it belongs), I could certainly edit it, but I can't figure out how to get it back there, so to speak.
    Two questions: first, why did it disappear from the Project Library, and second, what can I do about it now? I could always start from scratch (using clips in the Event Library), but that means doing everything over again, which I prefer not to do. Any ideas?

    I've got the similar problem:
