Does iBooks sync through iCloud id or iTunes store account?

My iBooks collections are syncing with the collections of my other family members. We all use our own individual iCloud id's while sharing the same iTunes store account.
This forces us all to turn off "sync collections" and "sync bookmarks" in the iBooks settings of all our devices to keep our individual collections protected. However, it poses a problem because it interferes with my ability to keep my iPhone and iPad iBooks in sync.
Any way to solve this conflict?

Hey Sean!
It seems like these issues could be related. Let’s troubleshoot the iTunes Store issue and see if the other issue resolves itself after resolving the iTunes Store issue:

No. She needs to setup her own iTunes account and purchase her own iTunes media.

Request iBooks sync with iCloud account not iTunes accounts

In my family there are five of us. We all have some form of an Apples product (iTouch, iPads, iPhones). We share the same iTunes account but have individual iCloud accounts. The issue we have with ibooks is the syncing. Having iBooks sync with iCloud account instead of the iTunes account will solve some of the issues that we are having. me and my wife both have iPhones and iPads, the kids have iTouches and iPad. Unfortunately when one individual change something it will change on the rest of the devices.

That seems simple enough but that's not what I am trying to accomplish.
Here is the breakdown...
I have a family of four.
We all have iPad, iPhone and a MacBook or iMac.
Like to read the same books (from time to time). We also like to take our own notes.
The issue...
Syncing bookmarks and collections and notes between each member of the family personal devices.
This is why I made this post to request for apple/developers to have iBooks sync with iCloud accounts instead of iTunes accounts.
I have tried every avenue that I can think of to make this request for change since iBooks syncing has been released.

I have a macbook, an ipad, and an iphone with the Mail app on all three synced through icloud, but when I read and delete emails on my phone, the inbox on my ipad is not update, so I have to go through and mark as read or delete messages again. How can I sync my iphone and ipad? (it seems like each is synced only to my laptop, so don't synchronize until I go home and use my laptop.

POP: yahoo, aol, comcast/time warnder/road runner
Imap: google, hotmail, and more including icloud.
If you want to use multiple devices - move to imap, I would even say "exchange", but Google does not support free exchange anymore, since January of that year. So Ironically Icloud or Hotmail would be my choices right now.
To find out more about what happens to you, search on Google "difference between pop and imap"

Why does Match list the iCloud status of iTunes purchased songs as "Exceeded Limit"?

Why does Match list the iCloud status of iTunes purchased songs as "Exceeded Limit"?

because you have loaded over 25,000 songs to the icloud library. to find out exactly what is in icloud from itunes match follow these directions to create a blank itunes library and load only the itunes match songs from icloud.
1. You will need to know the location of your iTunes library for later, the default is under music under your username. If its not there find it and remember where it is for later.
2. Then you have to exit iTunes and create a new empty library. To do this hold the option key when you open iTunes. Choose create Library on the pop up dialogue. Create the library anywhere on your system, you can delete the entire library once you have completed your iCloud changes.
3. When the library opens in iTunes it will be empty. Click on iTunes Match and click the start button. after it finishes all of the songs on your iCloud match account will be listed under music.
if you want to delete some or all songs from icloud so you can re-sync itunes match to show the songs in your current library fowwow this.
4. you can select up to 1000 at a time and delete them.
5. when you have deleted what you want, close iTunes and open again holding the option key and navigate to your original library, usually in the music folder under your username. You should be all set and can click iTunes match again and your account will be populated with the ones in your current library.
6. You can navigate to the temp library you created in finder and delete it as it is no longer needed.

IBooks sync with iCloud

I would like for iBooks sync with iCloud account instead of the iTunes account for bookmarks. I have a family of five with iPads, iPhones, iMacs and MacBooks, etc. We have on one main iTunes account the we share and individual iCloud accounts for each of us. We all read the same books generally at the same time. It's always a pain when making personal notes and bookmarks because it sync across all devices. So we have to disable this feature. I would like to be able to sync my notes with my iPad with my iPhone.

This is the developer forum, for those who develop third party apps. You need to post in the iBooks forum to get a better response.

I have new PC and my new Iphone 4s does not sync through I cloud how do I fix

I have a new pc and now my new Iphone 4s does not sync though Icloud how do I make new computer be the one iphone syncs with.

Go to appleid.apple.com and sign in with your current Apple ID
Change the Apple ID to the old one and save changes.
Sign in on the device with the same password for your account.
After logging in and signing out of Facetime, Messages, iCloud and itunes and app store, go back to Apple ID.com and change it back to your normal Apple ID.
Go to your email account and reverify your account by clicking on the Verify now link
Now re-login to those services with your normal Apple ID and password.

Calendar does not sync with iCloud

I have an iPhone 4S with the latest iOS. A month ago I started a brand new iCloud calendar (every other were deleted). It was working fine, when I launched the app, it synced in 2-3 seconds. But a few days ago it does not sync with iCloud, there is the running circle in the upper line and nothing happens. The interesting thing is when I try it with Wi-Fi, it works, albeit really slowly, under one minute. I did not change any setup. Has anybody an idea?

Hi Firend,
In my Calendars app, I selected all calendars to be shown. In Settings, Calendars settings are set: New invitation is turned on, Sync is turn all events on, and Calendar Default is set Calendar From My PC.
It is working well for long time.
Hope it will be helpful

I have an iPhone 4S, iPad and MacBook Air. I'm looking for an app or program where I can track time spent of specific projects each day and also document details of each project. Is there anything available that is synced through iCloud?

I have an iPhone 4S, iPad and MacBook Air. I'm looking for a program or app that I can sync though iCloud that will allow me to us all of these devices to track time spent on projects each day along with the ability to add specific information about each project. Any suggestions are appreciated! Thanks!

I recommend you consider Omnifocus. It is a task management program which runs on the Mac, Iphone & Ipad. I use it for task management and project management. It let's you store additional information as well. I sync all three devices through a Mobile Me account and I can enter data on any device and it is available on all devices. I believe you can also sync through Dropbox. I'm not sure that you can sync through iCloud yet. The link to their website is: www.omnigroup.com. There may be less expensive alternatives, but this one meets my needs and syncs very well across all devices.

Are you talking about mail folders (boxes)?
If so, you need to make sure new mailboxes are made in your iCloud account, not in the ON MY MAC section.

I recently updated my iPod touch to sync through iCloud - now can't connect to the internet through wifi, my macbook air is working as we speak

I recently updated my iPod touch to sync through iCloud - now can't connect to the internet through wifi, my macbook air is working as we speak. ive tried 'forgetting this network" in settings; tried turning off and on again; and pulling my hair out! The last was equally useless and a little painful!

Try:
- Resetting the iPOd. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Pwer off and then back on yur router
- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reet Network Settings

The store credit in your iTunes account will be used first. Otherwise, the charge card you have on file will be used.
