How do I add a book on my MacBook Pro to my iPad 3

I have an iPad 3 on iOS 8
I have a MacBook Pro on 10.9.5
I have 4 PDF/Epub/Mobi files on my Mac.
How do I add books to iTunes?
How do I view the books I have in iTunes?
How do I add them to my iPad so they'll be in iBooks?

On a Mac with Mavericks (or Yosemite) installed on it you don't add them to iTunes, that is only used as a tool for syncing your books to the iBooks app on your iOS devices, iTunes isn't used for managing them.
For the books that are compatible with iBooks (you probably won't be able to copy the Mobi files into it) then you can add them to the iBooks app on your Mac either via the File > Add To Library menu option within the app, or by dragging and dropping them onto it.
If you connect your iPad to your Mac's iTunes they should then show on its Books tab for selecting and syncing to the iBooks app on the iPad
For the mobi book, you will need an app on your iPad that supports more books e.g. the Kindle app.
For Kindle, and possibly other mobi apps, you can add books to the app by selecting the iPad's Apps tab, scroll down the right-hand side of the screen to the file sharing section, select the app that you want to copy the book to, and add it to the app.

  • I am confused about something.  How do I read a book on my MacBook Pro?  I can't find the iBook app anywhere, which is what I use on my iPad.  The book I want to read is in my iTunes but I can't click on it.  My iBook library does not show up in iTunes.

    I am confused about something.  How do I read a book on my MacBook Pro?  I can't find the iBook app anywhere, which is what I use on my iPad.  The book I want to read is in my iTunes but I can't click on it.  Some of my iBooks show up in my iTunes but they are "grayed" out.  The only books that respond in iTunes are audiobooks and that's not what I'm looking for.  Is this a stupid question?

    Nevermind - I answered my own question, which is I CAN"T READ ANY BOOKS I purchased in iBooks on my MacBook Pro.  If I want to read on my mac I have to use Kindle or Nook.  Which means any book I've already purchased through iBooks has to be read on my iPad.  Kind of a drag because there are times when it's more convenient for me to read while I'm sitting with my Mac.

  • How do I move a document from my MacBook Pro to my iPad?

    How do I move a document from my MacBook Pro to my iPad?

    What kind of document is it?  Keep in mind that you may need an app on the iPad to do anything with the document.  You can sync documents to particular apps by opening iTunes with your iPad connected, select the iPad in iTunes and click the Apps tab:
    Then scroll down to the File Sharing area, select the target app and drag a document to the Documents box.
    Alternately, you could use something like Dropbox to sync documents between your MBP and your iPad, as well as any other devices you like.

  • How do i read a book on my macbook pro?

    I'm having difficulty reading books on my MacBook Pro.  I can read them on my iPad with no problem and I can't figure out how to read them on the MBP

    What's the source, and/or what format are they in?
    Some sources offer Mac client software (check their websites or the App Store), and for some formats there are converters available (google for them).

  • How may I transfere PDF files from my MacBook Pro to my IPAD

    How may I transfer PDF files from my MacBook Pro to my IPAD

    There are a number of methods, including via synch to iTunes on a computer and emailing them to yourself.
    I prefer using DropBox, which allows me to store them in the cloud and download only when needed, and send them to the app I choose (plus I do not synch my iPad to itunes). I typically use GoodReader or Adobe Reader, but any app that can read PDFs is typically available in the menu. You would need to install DropBox on the Mac as well as download the app on the iPad. Both are free.

  • How do I add memory to my 2011 Macbook Pro

    I bought my Macbook Pro in May 2011. I want to add some memory to it. What, how, where?
    Don't know how to proceed

    Assuming that you have a early 2011 MBP, it will accept up to 16 GB RAM with the following specifications:  204-pin PC-10600 (1333 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMM.
    The best sources for Mac compatible RAM are OWC and Crucial.
    Please look at this video for installation instructions:

    I am wondering if I ma able to add more RAM to my 15 inch MacBook Pro from late 2008. It currently has 2 slots each with 2GB of RAM each.

  • HT4623 How do I copy photo and music from MacBook Pro to Mini Ipad?

    I have a MacBook Pro that has my collection of Photos and Music. I recently bought a Mini Ipad and wanted to copy/transfer some of my Photos and Music from the MacBook to the Mini Ipad. Have tried but cannot perform drag and drop since the Ipad is not showing up in the Finder app.
    Looked into the Lightning to 300 cable (for my Iphone touch or Ipod) but the adapter has a female connector for the 300 and don't know how I can attach my Iphone or Ipod to transfer data with the other end of the cable is USB or AC .
    Thanks

    The iPad won't appear in Finder, you should be able to sync content by connecting it to your computer's iTunes -do you have iTunes installed on your Mac, and your music library in it ? You can add music to iTunes via File > Add To Library
    With iTunes 11 on your Mac you can enable the left-hand sidebar via option-command-S. Then select the iPad on that left-hand sidebar and use the Music tab on the right-hand side of iTunes to select and sync your music to the iPad's Music app.

    Similary to sync photos use the Photos tab on the right-hand side of iTunes. There is some info on this page. You will need to sync all the photos that you want on the iPad together in one go as only the most recent photo sync remains on the iPad - synced photos can't be deleted directly on the iPad, instead they are deleted by not including them in the next photo sync.
    You can't transfer music from an iPod or iPhone to an iPad

  • How do I use Bluetooth to connect my MacBook Pro to my iPad?

    I am trying to sync up my iPad to my MacBook Pro.  The status on the MacBook shows that the two are paired, but neither shows them as connected.  How do I achieve the connection in order to share files?

    On the advice of a friend I installed and ran a program on my MacBook called 'IPSecuritas'. This has stopped my wireless network from appearing and disappearing, but I still can't connect. Would really appreciate some help with this.

  • How do I add more memory to my MacBook Pro?

    I have 320 GB but it's not nearly enough and, ideally, I'd like to add another 500GB.
    Is that possible, how do i do it, and what are the risks?
    I mentioned it in passing when I was in the Apple Genius Bar on something else and they suggested they might help (which surprised me, as I presumed Apple wouldn't necessarily endorse doing it).
    Thank you.

    I have a number of external hard drives but I carry my Mac with my quite a lot so I want a bigger hard drive within the computer. Any UK users recommend somewhere to buy from and what brand?
    Thanks

  • How can I add my own screensaver? Macbook pro 10.8.2

    once upon a time i found a screen saver and i downloaded it, it was cool, i just recently upgraded to mountain lion and for some reason it is way out of alignment and all pushed up to the top of the screen. So I went to the website to see if I could get a newer more up to date copy, I downloaded one but now i have no idea how to add it into the list of them to choose from. Any help would be apreciated, Thanks, Ben D.
