Help getting Pages to iBook on an iPad not synced with my computer.

I have my students creating book reports using iWorks Pages.  We will then export them to epubs and place in iBook.  All is working well.  My question is my principal wants the iBooks on her iPad that is not synced with my computers.  How can I get these iBooks or epub documents onto her iPad without syncing it to my computers?

If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily.  Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

  • Why does my IPad not sync with my IPhone for Ibooks bookmarks?

    Why does my IPad not sync with my IPhone for IBooks bookmarks?  Both Pad and Phone have sync turned on.

    I must apologize as I misread your post. I though that you were talking about Safari bookmarks but you post does clearly state iBooks bookmarks.
    You may want to just try restarting both devices and see if that helps. One other thing that you could try is quit iBooks on both devices and then launch it again and see if the bookmarks are synced when you relaunch.

  • How can I ensure the content in iBooks on my iPad also syncs with my mini iPad?

    How can I ensure my content in iBooks on my iPad 3 syncs with the iBooks in my mini iPad?

    If they are iTunes purchased/downloaded ibooks then as long as they are still in the store you should be able to re-download them via the Purchased tab in the ibookstore in the iBooks app on the second device. For ebooks and epubs from other sources you will need to sync them - even though they aren't iTunes purchases you should be able to copy them from a device to your computer's iTunes via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases and you can then sync them to the other device. You can then keep bookmarks and collections in-line between the two devices via Settings > iBooks on the two devices (the 'sync collections' will keep collections in-line between devices, but it won't copy the copy the actual ibooks between devices).

  • HT1386 my i touch will not synci with my computer getting error message

    My i touch will not synci with my computer, keep getting erro message can you help?

    Restore.  Everything except the password will be restored.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  Be forewarned that it takes a long time.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

  • Why will my ipad not sync with the calendars on my computer, why will my ipad not sync with the calendars on my computer

    Why will my ipad not sync with calendars on my imac?

    I did find the info tab while trying to sync my calendars, but my iPhone5, iPhone 4S and iPad still won't sync to my MacBook Pro.
    Are you using Mac OS 10.9  Mavericks?
    There is no Info tab and you need to sync contacts & calendars via iCloud.

    Same with me. It used to be that Books would sync with my iPhone, but it seems that since IOS 5 came out they don't sync any more. Everything else syncs fine through iCloud; iPhone 4s & IPad 2.

  • Ipad not Syncing with iTunes

    I am having increasing problems with getting my iPad to Sync with Itunes on my 17" MacBook Pro.  Both Mac OS and iTunes up to date with latest software as is the iPad.  The trouble started a couple of months ago with some apps failing to sync.  I deleted them from the iPad and then it was ok for a while, however this has repeated itself with an increasing frequency.
    Today, whenever I connect my iPad to Itunes it will not sync.  It starts with the message "Waiting to Sync" then after a while briefly displays Cancelling Sync and then stops.  If I try and move from the Summary tab in iTunes to the Apps tab I get the spinning ball of death and iTunes hangs until I either Force Quit or unplug the iPad.
    Interestingly there is no problem when I connect my wifes iPad to my Macbook Pro.  However I have the same problem when I try to connect to iTunes on her MacAir.
    I have reset my iPad's settings.  I have restarted my Mac and iPad numerous times.  I have deleted all the iPad backup files on iTunes and done just about everything I can find with respect to things even remotely similar from the web or discussion boards.  Logically I have to assume it is something on my iPad however everything else is working fine - or so it seems.
    Anybody else out there with this or a similar problem or any suggestions???
    Thanks in advance.

    I want to start off by saying the latest update is the worst piece of software I have ever tried downloading onto my computer. After three unsuccesful updates directly from Itunes I downloaded it to file and then installed three times before it succesfully installed. At this point Itunes would freeze when trying to recognize my Ipad, Ive reinstalled twice more including individual installs of Quicktime and Itunes and NOTHING is making this worthless software work. I am not impressed at all Apple, as a matter of fact I'm tempted to NEVER buy another Apple product again because of how poor this latest update is. but whatever, some help would be nice.

  • IPhone 5s and iPad not syncing with iCloud

  • My contacts and calenders on my IPAD not syncing with my IMAC

    My contacts, mail and calenders on my IPAD are not syncing with my IMAC properly.  My IPhone seems to sync with IPAD okay.
    Also, on my IPhone I have subfolders for a second email account, but on my IPAD and IMAC I can only access subfolders from one email account.
    Please help

    For Mail in order to have subfolders the email account must be an IMAP account. Check on the iPad in Settings > Mail, Contacts and Calendars > the email account in question to make sure the correct account type is selected.
    If your ad is not syncing your Contacts and Calendars to the other devices go to Settings and make sure iCloud is on and you're signed in to the same iCloud account as on your other devices. Then make sure that Contacts and Calendar syncing is turned on.

  • Pages iPad not syncing with iCloud Drive

    On my iPad Air 2 pages won't sync to ICloud Drive after connecting to the school network
    it just doesnt attempt to upload and if it does it does nothing and the progres bar doesnt move at all this happens on the school net and my home wifi.
    my iPhone 4s (iOS 8.1.3) has all the same iCloud Drive and pages settings and works fine but my iPad doesn't
    Could Someone help me
    thanks
    (I selected iPad air as my device below because I couldn't find the air 2)
                                                         vvvvv

    I wish that I could offer some help, but I'm about to post a topic with a similar problem.  I posted it on the iCloud discussion board a few days ago.  Since then I've upgraded to Yosemite, so I can get iCloud Drive on this machine and hopefully be in sync with what's on my iPhone & iPad in Pages.  But alas, the problem remains.  The files are not up to date on the desktop running Yosemite and just the same as they were when they were on Mavericks. 
    My other topic is posted here:Trouble logging into iCloud.com on Mac running Mavericks
    One thing you might do, although I'm not sure is log out and back into iCloud (System Prefs) and see if that updates things.  You could delete files off of iCloud Drive, but I am NOT going to do that nor am I recommending it.  Just trying to think of solutions.  Stay tuned for a similar topic in the Pages board here. 
    Thanks and keep us posted!

  • HT1386 I have been syncing my IPad to only one PC computer successfully for over a year.  Now when I try to sync I get the message that the ipad is synced with another computer and can be synced with only one.  How can I correct this?

    Although I have synced my ipad to only one PC computer I now get the message that it is synced to another computer and only one computer sync is permitted.  I have lots of apps on the ipad and do not want to loose everything by starting fresh with the ipad.  How can I get the ipad to again accept my computer and sync successfully?

    How to Use Multiple iDevices with One Computer

  • My iPad gets stucked in the last step of the sync with the computer.

    When connecting the iPad to the computer the iTunes starts, reconizes my iPad and starts the sync of the iPad.
    It syncs the contacts, calendars, pictures, music, etc, but in the last step (7th; "finishing Sync") it stucks and stays for ever without finishing.
    I cannot load a previous backup because as soon as I connect the iPad to the computer the Sync process starts and no button is available.
    I've tried to load again iTunes to start from the begining but it is still saying the same, that the Sync process is finishing and is blocked there.
    Any help?
    Thanks a lot.

    Hi Demo,
    I've tried what you say but, if I'm doing it right, it doesn't work because after rebooting it goes again to syncing and stucks on the last step.
    Nevertheless let me check if I'm doing it right; When you say "Before you restore from the backup, quit iTunes, ...." you mean "Before" or "After" because I don't understand how I could reboot the iPad BEFORE I restore from the Backup if it is already restoring.
    Just let me write down the procedure to check that it is the right one:
    1- I launch iTunes (iPad not connected) and go to Edit>Preferences>Devices, and I check the box to Prevent the iPad to syncing automatically. I click OK.
    2- I quit itunes.
    3- I connect the iPad to the computer.
    4- I launch iTunes.
    5- I go to Restore from Backup
    6- Restore from Backup is finished
    7- I quit iTunes
    8- I disconnect the iPad from the PC
    9- I reboot my PC
    10- I reboot my iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons... iPad stars.
    11- I connect the iPad to my PC.
    12- I launch iTunes
    13- I click on sync button.
    If the procedure is right then my problem must be another one because when I do it and it starts syncing again the same problems comes back again and the syncing never stops at the last step.
    Thank you anyway for your time and support.
    Best regards,
    Francisco

  • Ibooks on ipad not syncing with iphone

    I downloaded IOS 5 on iphone 4 and ipad 1, set up icloud.  Calendars, etc are syncing fine however the most recent book i purchased on my ipad (2 days ago) is not showing up on my iphone nor are the bookmarks on other books I am reading on my ipad.  I have set up the bookmark & collection sync on my ipad and my iphone.  Is there a setting on my MacBook Pro that I might be missing.

    Same with me. It used to be that Books would sync with my iPhone, but it seems that since IOS 5 came out they don't sync any more. Everything else syncs fine through iCloud; iPhone 4s & IPad 2.

  • IPad Notes sync with work laptop and Outlook

    Hello - I've looked at all sort of articles here on the forums and elsewhere for this answer, but it seems like either it's something that's half-baked (requires iTunes or something else) or non-existent. Is there a straight forward method of taking notes with my iPad while at meetings (Notes, drawing/writing app, etc) and having them sync'ed up with my laptop/workstation at my desk when I get back to it?
    Its great having the small iPad for meetings and reading emails and taking notes, but can I get those notes off the iPad and into my working environment would be even better.
    I realize something like Evernote can help, but is that the best method today? I've also read about the iTunes WiFi sync - but I don't think that works unless iTunes is running and I'm not even sure how that works.

    If you are using the default Notes app on your iPad, you can transfer the notes you took on your iPad to your PC using the method described here:
    http://iphone-contacts.wikia.com/wiki/How_to_transfer_notes_between_iPhone_and_P C
    iTunes, on the other hand, should be able to help you sync your iPad notes with Outlook on your PC. If you use third party Notes app such as Evernote, transfering of notes could be done using Evernote's computer program.

  • Why are my contacts on ipad not syncing with google contacts?

    I am new to apple.  I cannot populate the Contacts
    app on my iPad2.  I see no options to sync with google contacts.  Please advise.  Thanks!

    Thanks Meg, this works, at least in part.  Now the Contacts app populated, but only with 99 contacts, hardly all of them.  Do you know how to get all my Google contacts to sync?
    Also, should I delete the Gmail account I had previously set up on the iPad now that I have set up as an Exchange account?
