IBOOKS on iPAD and iPHONE Sync?

Hello -
Pretty simple:  I have an iPad2 and iPhone 4S.  iBooks on both.  Recently just purchased my first two books via iBooks store on the iPad.  I checked settings on both iPad and iPhone and I have sync turned ON.  I have iCloud (not sure this matters).  Why don't the books appear on my iPhone?
THANKS!
Gregg

The best way I found to sync PDFs in iBooks between all your IOS Devices and a Mac is to TICK the "Sync with this (Your iDevice) over Wi-Fi" setting which is found in the "Summery" when you open iTunes on your Mac and select your iDevice from the top let corner of your iTunes window or from the left side column in the Playlist amd Apply.

  • IBooks on iPad and iPhone

    I have an iPad and and iPhone. I have iBooks app on both. I don't have an iMac computer. Can I get the books I purchased on my iPad to show up on my iPhone. I believe I have the settings on both to Sync.
    I saw on on Apple commercial they showed someone reading an iBook on an iPad and then showing the same book being able to be read on the iPhone. There was no iMac in the commercial. This lead me to believe I do not need an iMac in order to share a book on my iPad and iPhone. However, earlier threads seem to indicate a computer is needed to sync iBooks between iPad and iPhone.
    My calendar and contacts sync correctly.

    The books won't share or bookmarks/collections?
    Reset both devices?
    Turn sync bookmarks & collections off, then on again?
    Remove the books and then load them up again from a single iTunes library?

  • How do I get my iPad and IPhone synced where if I delete an email off one it is deleted off the other device?

    How do I get my iPad and IPhone synced where if I delete an email off one it is deleted off the other device? I can get all the Apps and music from one to the other but why won't the emails I delete off one not delete off the other? Is there anyway where I can make this happen?

    As James says, make sure that you are using the IMAP servers for your email. You will need to check the help pages for your email provider to get the correct settings in all your devices. POP really doesn't fit the needs of todays mutiple access, always on internet, so you are better off moving to IMAP.

    Thank you iTunes for fixing the problem of downloading my pictures to my iPad and iPhone with the update 10.5.0.142

  • IPad and iPhone Syncing

    Our family has three iPhones with the latest OS4 software. I am thinking of buying an iPad and I was curious if the three iPhones can be synced with the iPad if it is installed with the latest iTunes version. My intent is to eventually migrate completely off of my laptop and use only the iPad and iPhone. My photos, tunes and videos would reside permanently on the iPad. Thanks for your comments.

    The ipad would sync to the laptop, just like any of the iPhones. It is not designed to be used without a computer. Any backups, software updates, etc, need to be done while tethered to a computer with your iTunes account installed on it.
    CAN you use it on it's own after the initial sync? Sure. But if something happens to it (Hardware, software, stolen, <insert catastrophe here>) you will have no way to recover any of the data and will have to start from scratch all over again.
    Can you sync the iPhones directly to the iPad? No, not at all.

  • VoiceOver issue with iBooks on iPad and iPhone in iOS 4.2.1

    I use the VoiceOver feature of my iPad and iPhone. After I upgraded to iOS 4.2.1 I was unable to buy any books from the iBooks store. I had to disable VoiceOver to make my purchases (not an easy feat when you need VoiceOver!)
    I particular, I've found two bugs.
    1. When I have VoiceOver enabled while using iBooks, I can not select the price button to buy a book.
    2. While I'm in my Account page by first selecting "Apple ID: myappleid" at the bottom of an iBooks page and then selecting [View Apple ID] from the pop-up, I'm unable to modify any of the fileds. VoiceOver tells me I can select the fields, but when I try to, the control (numeric keypad, picker item, etc.) is not displayed and I have no way of modifying the field. H have to disable VoiceOver and navigate back to make my changes.
    How do I report this to Apple?

    The best place to let Apple know your views is via the channel they have set up for that.

  • Ipad and iphone syncing problems results in lost work

    Hello all,
    Sorry if this is treated elsewhere but i couldnt quite find it. I got pages for the flexibility of being able to use both the ipad and iphone to work on the same document and it worked fine at first but now the iphone is having trouble syncing automatically. Now it asks me to resolve a conflict and choose between different versions of the document. I chose the one with the latest timestamp but it wasnt actually the latest version of the document from the ipad. When i went back to the ipad it didn't give any option except to click ok to accept the changes and so reverted my document to an earlier state. I lost all the work i did today and the undo button did nothing but go back to the last changes made to that earlier version of the doc.
    I realize there is little hope for restoring my work. I use a webdav account to back up to but unfortunately hadnt done an upload today. From now on I'll be doing it every ten minutes but i really shouldn't have to.
    Does anyone have any advice for this? Or at least an email to complain to the developers about their syncing procedure?

    Looks like I had similar problem today.  I was working on my MacBook on pages and then about an hour later I made some changes on my iPad.  This morning it looks like I have to resolve a conflict of having two documents and I have to choose one.

  • Unsure how to sync ibooks between ipad and iphone

    A few months ago I downloaded an extensive collection of work documents, in pdf format. They've been saved in ibooks on my iphone. After having synced my phone to my itunes, I currently see that I have those documents in Itunes. However, not knowing how to sync between iphone and ipad, I had uploaded those documents manually to my ipad via email. Now I have some mismatching documents in ibooks. I am wondering how to rectify this. I wonder if I could erase my ipad, and restart it as a new ipad, then sync it with my itunes on my computer, in order to upload the appropriate documents into ibooks. Thoughts?? Thank you!

    PDF's don't sync between devices in iBooks, if you want to do that use something like Adobe reader.

  • IPad and IPhone synced to different PCs how do I get the same music on both devices? I used one PC to put CDs on ITunes but these don't appear on the phone which syncs to the Mac.

    I have 1 ITunes account but my IPad is synced to a Windows PC to download CDs onto my IPad and the Iphone is synced to the Mac. I was hoping that the CDs I'd put on the IPad from the Windows PC would automatically appear on my IPhone when both these devices were sharing the same Wi-Fi at home. This didn't really work very well and I've been left with the CDs showing on the list on my phone but when I try to play them, the different tracks keep scrolling fast and not playing. I've tried deleting them from the IPhone, but they just seem to retreat to ICloud.
    I've tried syncing the phone to the windows PC but this has just resulted in an error and I think this may be what has screwed the music up on my phone. I would just like to be able to listen to my CDs on my phone.
    Has anyone come across this before and resolved it?
    Thanks

    Terminology check here. Do you really mean a "CD"?  There's a difference in Cloud behavior between content from a physical CD you ripped (which only has Cloud content if you have iTunes Match) and an "album" you bought from the iTunes Store.
    Read references for Home Sharing.
    iTunes: How to share music and video - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2688 - about Music Sharing and Home Sharing
    Home Sharing Support page - http://www.apple.com/support/homesharing/
    iOS: Setting up Home Sharing on your device - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4557 - "With Home Sharing in iOS 4.3 or later, you can stream your entire iTunes library over your home Wi-Fi network from your Mac or PC right to your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch."
    The above can get pretty complicated.  You are probably best off by syncing both devices to a single library and/or updating the libraries on both computers to have the same content.

  • IPad and iPhone sync thru the cloud

    I can't get my calendar on my iPad to sync with my iPhone anymore.  When I first turned on the iCloud on both devices it worked but now unless I actually enter a calendar date directly into my phone it will not transfer to my iPad.  I sync my phone to my outlook calendar and when I do this the new dates frommy computer appear in my phone but not on my iPad.  It's the same for my contacts.  Any suggestions?

    If I am not mistaken that is how it is intended to work. Check in the calendars app on your iPhone and at the top how many calendars does it say it syncing. Also check your iPad for the same think. It could also be that on the iPad you are showing the outlook calendar. But, I'm pretty sure it only syncs iCloud calendars.

  • HT5826 can't synch ibooks between ipad and iphone

    Have done everything that
    HT5826: iBooks: How to sync iBooks between devices, says and still no complete synch between iphone and ipad

    Yes it is, but it's also quite understandable. Apple has no way to know where non-iBookstore ebooks originated and whether they're legal copies or not, so they can't risk the liability of making possibly copyright infringing copies of them, automatically sending them to multiple devices. If you do it via manual syncs with iTunes however the legal liability is with you if they're illegal copies. Thus you can't store slide-loaded ebooks in iCloud or have them automatically sent to all your devices like you can with books purchased from the iBookstore.
    Maybe one day Apple will be able to convince the publishers to allow them to implement an iBooks Match scheme like the iTunes Match scheme for music, but given the notorious conservatism of book publishers and the difficulty of automatically fingerprinting books with many different editions vs music recordings for matching purposes I wouldn't hold my breath.

    Oh nice, there's a PassKeeper application for the iPhone and iPad.  Simply install it and it should talk you through steps, otherwise their website is probably a great place to check.

    I really like the application 1Password, and it works across all the products, Mac, PC, iPad, iPhone.

  • HT4059 iBooks on iPad and iPhone problem

          The books in my iBooks will not stay in the collection I put them in.  They just keep returning to Purchased Books.  But some will randomly place themselves in Books without being put there.  I tried setting up a different collection and putting them all in there, but as soon as you exit the ap and come back - they are all back where they started from. I'm so frustrated!  I also cannot get any books to delete.  Can anyone help me?

    Hi vmarlin!
    I have an article here that I believe will go a long way toward explaining what is going on with your iBooks app:
    iBooks: Tips for managing your iBooks library and storage on iOS devices
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5544
    Specifically, I believe this will address your questions:
    To free up storage on your device while keeping your library organization, tap Delete This Copy. The copy of the book on that iOS device will be removed, but the cover of the book will remain in your iBooks library with a cloud icon visible in the upper corner. To download the book again, just tap the book cover.
    To remove a purchased book from your library on all of your devices, tap Delete From All Devices. The book will be removed from all of your iOS devices, and its cover will only appear in the Purchased Books collection with a cloud icon visible in the upper corner. If you change your mind, you can download the book again from your Purchased Books collection.
    So if your books are not downloaded onto the device, they will still show up in your iBooks app with the "download from iCloud" icon in the upper right hand corner, but they will only appear in the Purchased Books section. You will want to download the books you want onto your device, then arrange them into the Collections you would like them to reside in. Thanks for coming to the Apple Support Communities!
    Regards,
    Braden
