[QUOTE="Jaygray, post: 1151596, member: 50033"] Connect the iPad to your computer and run iTunes. Log in using your Mom's friend's iTunes account info. Right click the iPad logo in iTunes and select 'transfer purchases'. I believe this should transfer a copy of all the apps into iTunes on your computer. (I've never used this feature for this purpose, but I believe it will work.) Next sync the iPad w/ iTunes. This will create a backup of all your iPad data in your iTunes. It will contain everything in iBooks, which would include the pdfs. If you ever need to restore the iPad, the pdfs will reappear. (Make sure you transfer the purchases first. You don't want iTunes to delete the apps off the iPad because it doesn't find them in iTunes.) You didn't mention whether your Mac or PC, but... On a Mac, you will then find the pdfs stored on your HD in User > Music > iTunes > iTunes Music > Books On a PC, they should be stored in a similar file structure such as... My Documents > My Music > iTunes... If you're going to share apps, then you'll have to keep using your friends iTunes account. Apple permits the same account to be installed on up to 5 different computers, so this may not be a problem. But, you'll lose the apps if your Mom creates a new account. If you just want the pdfs, then you could copy them off the HD, create a new iTunes account for your Mom and put them back into iBooks under the new account. Hope this helps! [/QUOTE]
