Books are gone from ibooks Store

I have a problem. I went and got me a new MacBook Air yesterday, I have manage to get evetyrhing rigt and transfer stuff from my old iMac to the new MacBook. But wen I started iBooks there are no books there to download from iBooks Store. all the books are still on my old iMac and on my iPhone/iPad.

But I cant get them down to my new MacBook, in iBooks Store there are no books to download.

To the story is that we just moved to Norway from Sweden and have change my iTunes Store account from Sweden to Norway, But that should not have anything to do with this right? Ore is it so that everything you got when you were living in Sweden is gone after you switch country to in this case Norway?

I many books for school that I got from iBooks Store that I really need back and don't like to buy them onces more. They cost a hole lot of money.

Hi hernta,

I see that you have moved your information from an old Mac to a new one and are looking for some iBooks that are not showing on the new computer. Since the iBooks are still available on your iOS devices, you may want to simply transfer your purchases from those devices to the new computer using the steps below:

You could also try using the Sync Collections feature of iBooks:
