My books disappeared from iBook app on my device all of sudden ! Help ! Books won’t sync from iTunes !
Good morning everyone. 🙂 Today, we are going to share a troubleshooting for the following issue: book disappears from iBook and won’t sync. We have realized about this weird issue from a customer who came to our shop lately. The customer was having the exact same problem. The books disappeared from iPhone and won’t sync from iTunes. We see that the customer had many books on iTunes, but for some reason the books won’t sync even if we click SYNC button many times. The books were synced and then removed right away when we looked at the customer’s iPhone. This is why we are trying to share a solution for this weird problem. 😀
It looks like there are glitches in iBook or in iTunes. Maybe it is related to sync problem. This blog post does not guarantees 100% fix, but let’s try! 😀 😀 😀
Try these to fix the book disappearing issue (Try one thing at a time)
- Connect the device to your computer, and turn on iTunes. When connected, in iTunes, go to Books tab to see book sync information. Check if your sync setting is set to “Selected books”. If it is, then change the setting to “All books”. Click “Sync” button to manual sync. Check your device to see the books are in iBook.
- If you have never closed the iBook app on your device, try to close it, and run again. (Double tab “Home” and swipe iBook app to close)
- Try to restart your device. (Press and hold “Power Button” and swipe to restart)
- Try to force restart. (Press and hold “Home” and “Power Button” together until you see Apple logo)
- If possible, try to delete the iBook app, and re-install the iBook app. Or Check the iBook and make sure it’s the latest version. If it’s not, then download the latest iBook from App Store.
- If you have purchased books, go to App Store -> go to “Purchases” -> re-download the books
- If you have a backup in iTunes, try to restore your device with the latest backup. (For example, if you connect your iPhone to your computer, it will have a backup file in iTunes.)
This problem looks like happened many years ago, and it is still happening. Many people are saying that this is a bug. In case the above did not work for you, we will keep update this blog post when we find a new fix for this book & pdf disappearing problem. 🙂
