Can I Sync PDF podcast feed to iPad

Hi all, my first question on these forums. I have several PDF only podcasts I subscribe to, such as Beatweek and other magazines. These appear fine in iTunes on my Mac and open in Preview if I double-click on them, but for the life of me I cannot find out how to get them to sync as a Podcast, to my iPad.
Yes, I know I can manually set the Podcast feed to the 'Book' category and manually select the individual issues and then they appear in iBooks but that is annoying and I have to remember to do it every time a new issue comes down.
Why doesn't Apple make this happen automatically in iTunes? Am I missing a setting or something here?
I have Googled and searched the forums all over but cannot find a satisfactory answer or solution to this seemingly obvious issue. Is there any way to automate this in iTunes?

Server stored mailboxes with an email account that can be accessed as an Exchange or IMAP account with an email client are kept synchronized with the server with each email client used to access the account.
What type of email account does the email account provider for this account support when accessing the account with an email client such as the Mail app on your Mac and with the Mail app on the iPad - POP, IMAP, or Exchange?

    Can I sync PDF files from my iPhone 4 to my new iPad wirelessly without iTunes

    Yes, you can. Just add files to iTunes library (FILE > ADD FILES TO LIBRARY....) and they will appear under Books library.
    Connect you device, select the Books tab, and make sure those books or pdf you want them over are being checked, then click the SYNC button on the lower right window.

    Can I sync PDF files between my iPhone and iPad?

    Yes, and we will have integration with our Mobile Readers as well. We've already submitted to Apple for review, and will be live once they complete their review and approval.
    With this, we'll allow you to share files pretty easily between Desktop, Tablet and Phone across all OSes...and when you make changes, we'll automatically bring them to and from your phone/tablet! Pretty cool.

  • ITunes 10 - No longer sync PDFs to iBooks on iPad

    Immediately following the upgrade to iTunes 10, I can no longer sync PDF's to my iPad (v3.2.2) for use with iBooks. Is anyone else having the same issue and even more importantly, has anyone resolved this?

    Appears that in order to fix this you must delete all of your PDF documents out of iTunes and re-add them to your library.
    I attempted rolling back to iTunes v9.2.1 to resolve this and the issue carried on to that version so I'm not sure what the true cause would be. Especially given that the iTunes 10 and iTunes 9 libraries were completely separate (utilized a backup copy of the v9 library for the v9 installation).
    Hopefully an official "fix" for this will come out in future versions.

  • ITunes: How can I sync my podcasts between Macs and iDevices?

    Hi,
    Using iTunes for a decade now, I still having the same problem that I don't know how to solve:
    How can I sync my podcasts subscriptions and play states between Macs and iDevices?
    I am having two MPBs and one iMac, as well as an iPhone and iPad (yes, making someone rich in California), all of them are linked to the same iTunes/Apple account, they are not in the same Wifi.
    What I would like to have that all these iTunes (plural) have the same Podcasts with the same played/unplayed states...
    Is there any way to do that now, possible with iCloud? I am completely confused now that they have introduced podcast.app for iDevices...
    Thank you for any idea for good solution!

    From what I can tell, the Podcast app should do for your iOS devices what you're describing--as long as they all use the same Apple ID. Here's an article with some helpful information about the app:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5295
    To keep your subscriptions in sync across all devices, the article says this:
    "To subscribe to a podcast on your device, tap the Subscribe button from the podcast provider's page from the Podcast catalog. Enable subscription syncing to keep your subscription up-to-date across your iOS devices. On your iOS device tap Settings > Podcasts > Sync Subscriptions > ON.
    To sync playback position, the article says this:
    "Playback Sync automatically allows you to sync your playback position to all of your iOS devices with the Podcasts app installed, using your Apple ID. In order for Playback Sync to sync your playback position, you must be signed in to the iTunes Store using the same Apple ID on your iOS devices."
    As for keeping playback position on your iOS devices in sync with iTunes on your Macs, you'll need iTunes 11 on all your Macs. So if you're still using iTunes 10 or earlier, you'll need to run a software update to get the latest version. Incidentally, I came across this discussion, which offers some helpful setup/troubleshooting tips about using this new podcast playback syncing feature:

    Hope this is helpful!

  • Syncing PDF files into my iPad Mini, but will not show in iBooks

    I am trying to sync PDF files into my iPad Mini but it will not appear in the iBooks app on my iPad Mini. I have tried to unselect the book and reselect, sync all or sync selected through iTunes. Still have not figured it out! There is 9.75gb left on my iPad Mini which is more than enough space for the PDF files.
    Please help!
    Thanks,

  • Can i sync 2 iphones to 1 ipad?

    Can I sync 2 iphones to 1 ipad?

    Not really helpful...
    Technically you don't sync iPhones to an iPad.  You would sync an iPhone -or- iPad to your computer via iTunes, and then in turn syncronise that with another device. Realistically you could have all 3 Devices with the same Sync Data as you will be using iTunes as the, for lack of a better word, central hub that controls what does and does not go onto the devices.
    It all depends on what data you want on which device.

  • HT1386 I can't sync my podcasts on my new ipod nano 6th gen

    I can't sync my podcasts on my new ipod nano 6th Gen. Music syncs just fine.

    In iTunes, when your iPod nano (Hhhmmm! This is the iPod Touch forum, but never mind) is showing in iTunes, look on the Device/Podcasts pane and choose the Sync Podcasts options that you want.

  • I can't open up podcasts on my iPad.

    I can't open up podcast on my iPad and I was listening it them the other day.

    Quit the music app and restart. Then try again.
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Or - reset the iPad and see if that helps.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    The app will find and wake the Apple TV when homesharing is properly configured. You will still need the Apple remote should you ever need to set up the Apple TV again though.

  • HT1386 Can i sync multipler iOS devices like iPad, iPhones on the same iTunes? Can each iOS device have different contents which are subsets of the iTunes complete library

    Can i sync multipler iOS devices like iPad, iPhones on the same iTunes? Can each iOS device have different contents which are subsets of the iTunes complete library

    You can share a library with as many devices as you want but they cannot have seperate subsets like you wish. They would all have access to all information in the library. You could "Manually" sync content to each device by doing the following:
    On Mac: iTunes > Preferences > Devices Tab > Put a check in the box next to sentence that says "Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically > Then click ok.
    On Pc: Edit > Preferences > Devices Tab > Put a check in the box next to sentence that says "Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically > Then click ok.
    To manually sync data from iTunes to devices see article below:
     http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1351
    If you do not want all devices to have access to all the media from the main library, you would need to create a library for each device. See the article below for more info:

    Hope this helps.
