Bookmark Sync btw iBook iOS and OSX?

I and tnxs for reading.
Is there a way to sync bookmark or page position between iBook PDF on our Macs and the same on our iPhones or iPads as it is happening between iOS devices?
Tnxs

I have the same question / issue...
Not to mention the fact that pdf docs sync via iTunes and not iCloud..???
Not to mention that the initial document has to be inserted on the Mac for sync to work.
This is a sorry solution :-(
Is there anything else that allows read / sync of pdf documents (and notations and bookmarks) between Mac and iOS?

HT5887 Why doesn't AirDrop work between iOS and OSX?

Apple has almost always never fail to seamlessly integrate its devices, until now? I understand that there is iCloud for content sharing between devices. However, AirDrop was introduced as a simpler way for users to not only share contents between their own devices but as well as other users. I understand that the logic behind AirDrop was practiced by windows users since the creation of modem, though it requires many complex steps and compatibility checks to achieve a simple logic. (and Windows never really bothered with perfecting it over all these years, its improved, still buggy)
My question is, why can't we share contents between iOS and OSX? Everytime I need to transfer some files/content, the quickest way I could think of is to send an email to myself. Just the other day I tried to have my colleague AirDrop a file from his 5S to my MBP. I told him with great confidence that this tech existed long ago, and finally Apple decide to kick some DOS *** and launch a super simple version. And that it should by right work with any device with BT and/or WiFi, but knowing Apple, it would only be for their own products. Not in my wildest dreams it didn't work cross OS.
Forget the embarassment, I want to be pampered by this seamless technology. I want the type of exclusiveness with my fellow family and friends of which majority are Apple lovers. I want to regain the confidence that whenever I step out of my room, whichever device I carry/left out, I can do/resume/engage everything as long as I carry an Apple device.
Music, Videos, E-mails, Docs, Images, iMessages, are all checked. So why not Content Sharing?

Syncing photos between ios and Mac

Hi
How to sync photos between Mac and ios .. iPhoto is confusing .. If I create an album on Mac and share it to ios
Through iTunes I won't be able to add or delete photos to it with ios which is strange .. If I use photo stream album
Created on ios I won't be able to add photos for them with my Mac so how to do such a simple task with iPhoto ?

Not sure what you're asking here. The only connection between iphoto for mac and iPhoto for iOS is a name. Other than that they have nothing in common. So, no you can't manage albums created on your Mac with iPhoto for iOS and vice versa.
iPhoto Menu -> Provide iPhoto Feedback
For feature requests.

Keynote compatibility issues between iOS and OSX versions

Please help! I have been using iOS version of Keynote for creating and presenting on my iPad for the last 12 months and it has worked really well. I recently purchased a Mac and installed Keynote and opened some of my recent presentations on it using iCloud. I was able to use the better functionality on the OSX version then save it and open on the iPad to present. Yesterday, however I opened my main presentation on the iPad and I got a screen saying "this presentation may look different on your iOS device than on your Mac. To preserve the original, tap open copy". I opened the copy version and the entire presentation was greyed out with all the images gone. I opened it on the Mac and it was also greyed out so I am unable to open it on any device now. The original is still there (thank God!) but I cannot find a way to open it at all. Thanking you in advance for any assistance!

Hi Siamless,
Tom Gewecke is correct, "...It's not available on your Mac except via downloading with a browser...".
If you have an iCloud account log into your iCloud account choose iWork icon on the far right.
On your computer choose which files to upload. Choose which file type you want to upload then choose the appropriate tab, Keynote, Numbers, Pages. Upload your files to the appropriate tab.
There is a gear in the upper right click it choose Upload Document.
From iCloud you will not be able to work on the file, however if you have the iOS device with Keynote, Numbers, Pages, installed you will be able to work on them with your iOS device.
If you are running Lion then changes made to that file from your computer, or iOS device will be synced to iCloud, your iOS device, and your computer. That keeps your iWork documents synced.
Hope that helps you.
Cordially,
RicD

Ibooks on mac does not sync with ibooks ios

i have about 50 books, not all bought, showing in my ibooks on mac. However on my iphone i have only about six. I have followed the instrucitons to check Show All Purchases but as the items were not all purchased via ibooks i am wondering if iOS ibooks only shows items purchased via the store..
Thanks for any ideas

I found a solution that worked for me.
I had books that were not purchased from iTunes and some that were in my iPhone iBooks and they were not in iBooks on my macbookair.
I went into itunes - then File / Devices - select Transfer purchases from iPhone.
voila after restarting iBooks they appeared on my Macbookair.
hope that helps others.

Safari bookmarks not syncing to Mac via iCloud - Syncing works between iPhone and iPad.

My iPhone and iPad both have the Safari iCloud option set to 'ON' in my devices settings. My bookmarks sync between my iPad and iPhone correctly but bookmarks do not synce between my Mac and my two devices.
In iTunes, when I have either my iPad or iPhone connected it says: 'Your bookmarks are being synced over the air from iCloud.'
What setting am I missing to get my bookmarks to sync properly from and too my Mac?

Go to the Apple menu >> system preferences >> icloud. Make sure you're logged in with the same apple ID as you are on the other two devices. If you're already signed in, you can click on Account details to verify that.
Then, make sure you have safari checked off in the icloud preferences. If you already do, uncheck them for a minute or so. Then recheck them.
See if that helps.

Trouble with the bookmark sync in iCloud - Mac to Mac

Im having trouble with the bookmark sync in iCloud between and iMac and MBPro, both running OSX Lion 10.7.3 and Safari running 5.1.3
The following is now how my addresses show up in when i try to view the bookmarks
file://localhost/Users blah blah blah then the www.address.
any help...this was working last week and i marveled at the ease of it...
now im utterly frustrated!
any help greatly appreciated.

Hi,
Quit the Mac App Store if it's open. Command + Q. The iTunes and Mac App Store are one in the same.
Launch iTunes then from the iTunes menu bar click iTunes / Preferences then select the Advanced tab.    
Click: *Reset warnings and Reset cache*.     Now from the iTunes menu bar click Store / Sign Out.  
Try the Mac App Store.  If you still have problems, follow the paths here.   ~ (Tilde) represents your Home folder.
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore/Cache.db. Move the Cache.db file to the Trash.  
~/Library/Preferences. Move the com.apple.appstore.plist and com.apple.storeagent.plist files to the Trash.  
~/Library/Cookies. Move the com.apple.appstore.plist and Cookies.plist files to the Trash.  Restart your Mac.  Relaunch the MAS, try again.
If that didn't help, from the iTunes menu bar click Strore / View My Account. Make sure all the account details are correct including the Security number from the back of an ATM or credit card.

LDAP iPhone 3.1.3, iPad and OSX Server 10.6

Hello
First of all, sorry for my English.
I have new a Mac Mini Server. With my MBP I can connect to the server, iCal and Addresses syncs fine between Server and MBP.
Now I try for a long time, iPhone and iPad to connect with the server. With both, iCal works fine. Unfortunately with both Devices I can't sync Addresses.
Have somebody a suggestion to me what is wrong in my settings?
Thanks a lot for helping.

Well,
Not exactly true. Right now - yes there is no sync between address book and OSX Server, however, since you have a 10.6.X server CardDAV is a function that is supported.
iOS 4.0 (which is due for the iPhone in a week or so) does have built in support for CardDAV accounts.
I can't comment on its ability to do so as I haven't had the time to play with it since I received my 4.0 GM on Tuesday morning, but there are a few people reporting success.
So, wait a week or so - you'll get your CardDAV address book to work with your iPhone.
NOW IF APPLE WILL ONLY GIVE US NATIVE PUSH SUPPORT FOR EMAIL FROM OSX TO THE IPHONE...
**** What a glaring oversight....
(Stepping off soapbox now...)

HT5887 Airdrop, iPad and OSX

Does anyone know why on earth have Apple made it so that airdrop cannot be used to move files between iOS and OSX devices? That's pretty much the only thing I want to do with it! Are they going to fix this glaring omission at some point?

You will have to check with Apple.

How can I get iCloud to sync between iOS 6.1.3, OSX 10.6.8 and OSX 10.8.3?

I am running both OSX 10.6.8 and OSX 10.8.3 on my iMac with iOS 6.1.3 on my iPod Touch.
Everything is checked ON in the iCloud settings where those are available, in iOS, OSX 10.8 and in iCloud.com on my OSX 10.6.8 system.
I either get no synchronisation, or a duplication of events. Apple Store Events which need to be clumsily downloaded from the website, double clicked on and hopefully added to Calendar, only randomly appear and rarely get announced. I can't see a pattern to anything.
It currently won't sync between iCloud.com and Address Book, Calendar etc on the Mac let alone with iDevices (my wife has an iPad as well), despite partially syncing previously.
It is erratic, obscure and totally unreliable as well as being a huge waste of my time.
If I follow the iTunes instructions as well as the iCloud.com instructions generally nothing happens.
In the Advanced pane of iCloud.com settings, I have selected the “In-app notifications” checkbox, and Saved. Doesn't work. Then I unselected and saved and closed iCloud.com. Then checked it all over again, still doesn't work.
According to the settings it says it is sharing with the iPod Touch, but nothing happens.
Previously a few events appeared belatedly at some later time, often after the event they were supposed to announce. Currently nothing is syncing.
Most frustratingly I can't sync my Address Book/Contacts so have to manually include all the contact info in all my individual devices and systems.
Has anybody got a surefire method of making the sync happen?

That's correct but your 10.6.8 machine has no way to put it there unless you manually enter it on the website.
That to sync data from iCal and Address Book in Snow Leopard to the iCloud server you must manually register and connect to the iCloud.com website which I have done.
You can't sync from Address Book or iCal in Snow Leopard.

The syncing to the same data in Mountain Lion is done via the System Preferences > iCloud, which I have done.
Supposedly that means the data on the iCloud server is then shared between the iPod Touch, SL and ML, but it is not.
Because data entered on the SL machine never makes it from iCal or AB to iCloud or from iCloud to AB or iCal, the link breaks there.. You can use a 3rd party app (Soho) and use it instead of AB and iCal.
But the problem exists on ML as well.
I get only some Contacts and iCal events transferring.
What you are seeing is probably from SL account which I use 95% of the time. Particularly my Address Book entries. I hardly entered any of those in ML, they virtually all come from SL and seem to have transferred previously. Possibly before the latest iOS updates, but I can't swear to that as I didn't check before/after.
The vast majority of my Address Book entries appear in both iCloud.com and my iPod Touch, but not my latest changes.
This is far from the "It just happens!" promised by Apple.

Can non-purchased sync across mac ibook app and ios ibook app

I looked up many discussions, blog posts etc, but seem get conflicting answers. I really want to know whether I can sync non-purchase (from ibook store) pdf from my mac (maverick) to ipad ibook apps. I tried many times, but failed to do so. I never try books. Does pdf must be sync through iTunes or by email?
The icloud sync is really frustrating. Previously, it took me quite a lot efforts to sort out the sync between pages and numbers. Not because I didn't do the right settings, but problems just arrived after upgrade mavericks. And I had to uninstall and reinstall the apps several times to make them work. So I wonder it is the same problem with the ibook.
Someone pls help!

Yes, eBooks (either PDF or EPUB) not purchased from the iTunes Store can be synced to iOS devices but not via the cloud. You must do it via USB.
1. Make sure the eBook is in the iBooks library.
2. Connect the iOS device to your computer via USB.
3. Open iTunes and select the device, then select Books.
4. Make sure "sync books" is selected and choose either the "all books" or "selected books" radio buttons. If you select "selected books" you'll need to then also select the eBooks to sync.
5. Click the Sync button.

Since yesterday, I have been seeing "bookmark syncing in progress" on the status bar for minutes at a time, and the browser becomes almost useless as it freezes.

At some point, I'll see 'bookmark syncing failed', and the browser then acts normally, BUT the behavior is cyclic. I uninstalled 7.0.1 and installed 3.6.20 and the behavior continued. I disabled sync in both installs and the behavior continued. I even deleted the sync server URL in about:config and the behavior *continued*. Oddly, the logs don't show any failures, and report success every time.
BTW, the bug-reporting procedure needs serious clean-up. It is very difficult to navigate the maze. And the help files are atrocious.

That maybe fixes some issues, but not this one. This one has to do with Sync and is getting seriously annoying.

arent as friendly to export, but i see similar complaints about crypto.

It sounds like your desktop profile is (still?) corrupt; it's failing to process the wipe on bookmarks. So let's be super thorough: we'll clean up the desktop, then reconnect so the Android device's data will replace it.
My suggestion is to do the following. Read all of the steps before you start. I recommend that your Android device is on wifi.
# On your Android device, go to Settings > Accounts & sync. Remove your Sync account. Your Firefox profile will be unchanged.
# On your desktop, create a new profile.
# On the new profile, assuming you want to re-use your Sync account, follow the instructions below.
# Re-pair your Android device with the new desktop profile, and wait for it to finish syncing before syncing the desktop.
Connecting to an existing sync account:
# Set Up Sync
# I have an account
# I don't have the device with me
# Enter username and password, choose "I have lost my other device"
# You'll get a dialog with a new recovery key. Choose "Change recovery key".
Let me know if you have any problems!

PDFs no longer work with iTunes and sync to iBooks

First off, the "Books" tab in the iPad/iPhone sync panel is woefully light. There need to be options to de/select all, organize by more than title/author, etc. That's a UI issue, not a bug, but worth mentioning.
However, I'm finding that PDF syncing to iOS devices is now broken alltogether. (Yes, it used to work for me)
When the Media Kind of the PDFs are set to "Book", they show up in the "Books" section of iTunes as expected, as well as the default list of available books for syncing in the iPad/iPhone Book sync panel. Oddly, they do not show in the list when "PDFs only" is selected from the pulldown list, and most importantly, they do NOT sync to iBooks on my iPad/iPhone.
(When the Media Kind of the PDFs is set to "Music", they do not show up in any lists.)

Me TOO: Since I updated iTunes to Version 8.1 I am unable to sync my Nano Generation 4. It gives an error message 'iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close'. I have been to the Apple Store twice, first time they restored my iPod and said it would be OK - it wasn't. Then they gave me a new iPod and said it would be OK - it wasn't. I don't think its the iPod!! I believe it is Version 8.1 as this issue only once I upgraded to the latest version.
I have removed and reinstalled iTunes and even tried to download an earlier version. Nothing works...
I am now left with a brand new iPod that I am unable to use!!!

IOS 5.0.1 bug - PDFs not syncing to iBooks

I just managed to update my 3rd gen iPod Touch to iOS 5.0.1 after going through major issues throughout the updating process. Basically, it just hung up during installation and gave an error saying the update failed. I tried again, it asked me to restore the iPod to its factory settings for some reason (which meant I lost all my data) and then it finally installed the update. Anyway, I managed to restore all the data from an earlier backup thankfully.
Everything seems to be working now except for iBooks! In iTunes, it shows my PDFs under Books. On the iPod, there are no PDFs shown in iBooks. And I tried to sync the files again, but they just don't seem to.
Oh, and iBooks was working absolutely fine before this update!
So after this experience, I am NOT updating my iPad...atleast not until Apple releases a bug-free version of iOS!

Yes they are in the same location as before.
But anyway, I just managed to get the PDFs back on iBooks. As they were still showing up in iTunes on the ipod device, that meant they were there but not showing up in iBooks. So, I deselected all the files and re-synced to delete all the pdf data on the ipod. Then re-synced again to put all the same files back. And now it works!
So, for some reason the iBooks backup doesn't work with the new iOS update. And apparently the solution is to erase the old data and re-sync again!
Thanks for your help anyway.
