Q: iBooks wont back up on my PC

That is pretty much it, I connect my iPhone to my PC, do the backup, but only 3 of the books get transfered to my iTunes library. How do I fix this? All the books I wish to back up are purchased in Spanish store, the one I currently use. There shouldn't be any problems, and yet there are. Does anyone know how to solve this?

A:

You've tried doing File > Devices > Transfer Purchases - that should copy ibooks, as well as any epubs/PDFs (even though they aren't iTunes purchases) that you have in the iBooks app, over to your computer's iTuns library.

 

Or if you are still in Spain and the books are still in the store then they should show in the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage on your computer's iTunes for redownloading.

    The Transfer Purchases option did nothing for me, well, almost, it let me transfer only the three books I mentioned earlier, but accesing purchases directly from the iTunes store let me redownload the books that are still in store. The one that was withdrawn, 1984, had luckily already been backed up. Thanks!
