Why do downloaded books in ibooks return to the cloud?

Sometimes the books we have downloaded to our iPad (running 6.1.3) will return to the cloud and are no longer on the iPad.   We don't know why
Sometimes the books that we are currently reading return to the cloud.
We have many purchased many iBooks.   We have 54 GB free on the iPad, so there should be enough space for them all. It is time consuming and tedious to download them again.   Why does this happen and what can we do to prevent it?

Are the files in PDF format? You could, if you wish, select one of the files in the Finder, select Get Info and change the file tag to open with your preferred application.

  • I'm not able to download books on iBooks that have Secure PDF on them. Anyone know how to fix that.

    Can anyone help me with how to download books to iBooks that are labeled Secure PDF please.

    A program I have been using is GoodReader from the app store...not free but reasonable prIce.  Reads all PDF files, even ones that are supposed to be secure.  Check it out and see if it meets your needs, before buying of course.

  • Have successfully downloaded books to iBooks , but has now changed all of them to some weird language! Including the new download !

    I have successfully downloaded books to iBooks before but this time it came through with a another language and changed all existing books as well! Any ideas of how to fix? The language is just gobbledygook symbols!

    This happened to someone last week.  Reboot your iPad:  Hold the home and power buttons at the same time for at least 10 seconds (keep holding past the swipe to shut down if it appears) until the Apple Logo appears and your iPad will restart.

  • Does anyone know how to add a preface page at the beginning of the book in ibooks author once the book is written? No matter how I try to add a Preface page, it goes to the end of the book.

    Does anyone know how to add a preface page at the beginning of the book in ibooks author once the book is written? No matter how I try to add a Preface page, it goes to the end of the book.

    Thanks. I've tried this and apparently the template I'm using is one of those where it doesn't work. I've tried dragging it as well as cutting a pasting but it always travels back to the end of the book. Maybe I can try changing the template temporarily, move the preface page, and then convert back to the original template. I'll experiment a little.

  • I created a book in iBooks Author using the Photo Book template. When I rotate to portrait orientation, the photo or widget disappears and a table of contents appears with only the interactive media showing.

    Thanx for the prompt response, KT. I have indeed seen that thread, only just after I posted the question.
    I have spent hours on the phone with what I now know is a call center in Texas on this question.
    I think Apple could be a little more "hands on" with iBooks Author users, and it should also be pointed out that landscape photos will not display in portrait mode.
    In my case, I used gallery widgets to display vertical photos, since they look better in portrait mode.
    But instead of simply rotating, the page disappears and a TOC of interactive media appears. The gallery behaves as expected when tapped. This is not what I expected, but since the gallery works, I can live with it.
    Right now I have "tickets" telling me to "fix" this "problem or to disable portrait mode.
    I don't want to disable portrait mode.
    Will Apple accept the books if I tell them this is not an "error?"

    Hi DRJibo,
    If you are interested in syncing iBooks via iCloud, you may find the following articles helpful:
    If you start reading a book on one device, you can pick up right where you left off on another device. Collections, highlights, notes and bookmarks sync across all your devices.

  • Why do I have to keep re-downloading all of my songs from the cloud with iTunes match?

    I will download all of my songs from the cloud. But then I will wake up one morning and have to re-downlaod all of them. This is really anoying because it takes time for the songs to download, so i can't listen to them.

    This is on my iPhone 4. I will download them and then it will randomly just decide that I will have to re-download all of the songs again. And this process just keeps repeating!!! It is annoying!

  • PLEASE APPLE, GIVE US SYNCING VIA ITUNES BACK!!!!!! Why take away one of the most valuable features of iTunes???? Why take away our choice of syncing via the Cloud or locally with iTunes????

    DO NOT UPGRADE TO MAVERICK UNLESS YOU WANT TO BE DEPENDED ON APPLE’S CLOUD. It removes the ability to sync Calendar, Notepad, and Contacts between your apple devices. You then can only sync them via Apple’s Cloud. For those of you like me, that do not want to be depended on an external data base accessible via the Internet or Cel Phone (with data charges).
    Why do I not want to use the Cloud to sync and backup?
    1. I found I only have one device with me at a time or am sitting at a computer when I add to my calendar, make a note, or add/change a Contact. Syncing with iTunes while upgrading apps and doing a back up to two external hard drives worked great and met my needs.
    2. I use WiFi and pay for the minimum data plan with my Cel provider (AT&T). I do not want to pay higher monthly data fees.
    3. I do not like a central data base (that will be hacked someday) having the personal info I have in my Notes, Schedule, and Contacts.
    4. I like the security of my most important data being on my own hard drives and written off to Data DVD’s, not subject to even rare central system outages/failures.
    5. I do not like the prospect of becoming dependent on a Cloud in which the provider could decide at any time to either start selling information or charging monthly fees to recover the costs of providing the cloud.
    I am reluctant to go to the trouble to go back to 10.8 because Apple will eventual stop providing updates to 10.8 and 10.8 compatible applications.

    You will need to contact Apple through their feedfack channel. These are user to user forums, sorry.

  • How do I get iPad 2 to download music onto my device from the cloud?

    I can't get my purchased music to download onto my ipad2  I hit the cloud next to the song name. It thinks for a moment then a popup displays a message saying it can't download at this time. This has been going on for 2 weeks. iPad is current on updates and now I can't get my music out of the cloud. this only happened since iOS 7. Ios7 crashed the iPad and Apple support at their store wiped the pad clean and installed a brand new copy of ios7 on my device. This is getting very frustrating.

    reset all settings
    settings-general-reset-reset all settings
    now reconnect to wifi
    settings- wifi- click network name- enter password - join
    if issue persists back up and restore as new via iTunes
    Peace, Clyde

  • Do I have to download each of my songs from the cloud individually on my iPad?

    Do I have to download each of my songs from the cloud individually onto my iPad?

    It sounds like you might want to just turn iTunes Match off on your iPad and sync the old-fashioned way from your iTunes library. That way, you can just choose what music you want and not have to redownload everything. You can always turn iTunes Match back on later if you choose to.
    Now the other benefit of iTunes Match is that it upgrades your tracks to 256 Kbps. If you're keen on having those higher quality tracks to listen to on your iPad (remember, they're also larger files), you can upgrade them in your iTunes library. Once you've run Match and it's finished its work, you can delete your songs (in iTunes on your computer) and Match will let you redownload them at the higher quality. Just be sure to have a current backup before doing this, just in case, and also note that some tracks might not be able to matched. Be careful not to delete those. You can sort your songs by Kind to weed those out.
