Help! need "How To" for a feature of iBooks on iPad using iTunes

On the bottom of the iBooks main screen there is "Bookshelf", "Titles", "Authors", "Categories" buttons. Pressing any one will sort books by that tab.
In iTunes, the same Column headers can come up when you select them under "View Options".
So far, so good.
My problem is that I am tossing in about 200 .pdfs and they all go in by "Title" only. I can't find anyplace to edit the "Authors", "Categories", etc.
When you go into "Get Info" for a book in iTunes, you only get options such as
"Artist", "Album Artist", "Album", etc., Your normal music/video categories. Nothing book related. Why have data fields if you can't access them?
Do these only get filled when you purchase a book from the Apple store?
Hello Apple - Where are my book related options? and yes, I have selected "Book" under "Media Kind".
Can anyone tell me how I can fill in the Category or Author field for books when in iTunes?

The only field that works so far is that under "info", "Artist" corresponds to "Author".
How about "Category"?

  • How do I sync my photos to my iPad using iTunes 11?

    I don't know how to do this with the new upgrade.  Anyone know?

    I don't have a photo tab...I have everything else in the drop down list, but no photo tab
    I finally figured it out - I didn't know I could open my device by clicking on it in the top right of the screen.  Once I did this, I found all the familiar tabs across the top and was able to choose the photo files and sync link before.
    Thanks for you help!

    Need to sync apps from my friends iphone to my ipad using itunes. How can be that done?Please advise.

    Well first you need to sync your iPhone 4 with your Mac/PC so that it will transfer all your music, apps, podcasts, etc. Then sync your iPod Touch and the media you selected during the sync should be there on your iPhone. If you have difficulty in transferring media from iPhone to your computer, try softwares like TransCopy. They will help in transferring data from your iphone to your computer. Dont forget to check that all the transferred data is in the iTunes media folder so that the iTunes can locate the files. Link to Transcopy software :

    Question to all iPad users please help in this issue
    How to solve the problem of connecting my iPad to Itunes while my iPad not working and show to connect to iTunes?
    Thank you for help out.

    Hi Jamalzoal,
    Dose your computer have the most recent iTunes on it? When you connect the iPad 2 to your computer what happens? dose iTunes tell you the iPad need to be restored?
    p.s. you post this question in the Apple Remote Desktop community. You would probable have gotten more an fast responses if you posted this in the iPad community.

  • How do I transfer PDF files from PC to IPAD using Itunes 12.1.2.  Previous versions let me drag file in Itunes to Ipad and files appeared under Ibook but can't get it to work in latest 12.1.2 version.

    How do I transfer PDF files from PC (Windows 7) to IPAD using Itunes 12.1.2.  I would like to do files manually rather then auto synch.  Previous versions let me drag file in Itunes to Ipad and files appeared under Ibook and then I could move them to an appropriate collection title.  The interface appears to have changed in the latest ITunes version and I am not sure what the proper procedure is.

    King_Penguin - Thanks it worked perfectly.  I had my pdf files copied into ITunes on my PC but when I clicked on a pdf file to copy it I thought the sidebar would appear with my IPAD name and then I would drag it over.  I didn't realize that I needed to click-and start dragging it towards the left-hand side for the sidebar to appear.  It worked like a charm - THANKYOU!!!

    Hey High Socks,
    Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, iTunes isn't working when you try to launch it. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you isolate or resolve the issue.

  • HT1209 how do i transfer my playlist from my ipad to itunes?

    how do i transfer my playlist from my ipad to itunes on my windows 7 PC?

    Hey there,
    There are several ways to pull music off your iPod and onto iTunes. The only downfall is that some methods or third party applications will not transfer over playlists, playcounts, or ratings. There is a very direct method, which I personally prefer, but there are also previously mentioned third party applications, which will help you accomplish the task as well. The link below provides step-by-step instructions for the direct method as well as a few third party applications if you choose to go that route instead.

    How do i update my apps on my iphone using itunes 11.0.0.163

    I click update on the app or try to purchase an app and it asks for my password. I enter my password, the icon spins and then just goes back to saying update or purchase. I have tried resetting my settings and shutting my phone off and nothing has seemed to work.

  • How can I transfer photos from my pc to iPad using iTunes?

    HOw can I transfer photos from my pc to iPad using iTUnes?

    Connect and select your iPad on the left-hand side of your computer's iTunes, and on the right-hand side there should be a series of tabs, one of which should be Photos - if you select that tab you can then select which photo folders to sync to the iPad. There is a bit more info on this page (though it looks like Apple are doing some maintenance at the moment so the link isn't working). You will need to sync all the photos that you want on the iPad together in one go as only the most recent photo sync remains on the iPad - not including photos in a subsequent sync is how you delete them from the iPad (synced photos can't be deleted directly on the iPad).

  • TS4062 How long should it take to set up my ipad using itunes?

    How long should it take to set up my ipad using itunes? Everything went blank on my iPad and I am attempting set it up using itunes. It has been connected for 45 min and gives me a set up incomplete message if I attempt to exit.

    I did some check on available sources on the topic and it seems that the app data is often causing a slow backup:
    What causes the slow backup?
    It’s the Apps! Apps on the iPad might store data to work properly. Some do store a lot, some don’t. For instance a game saves some highscore data (not very much), where a newspaper App or a rss reader might save updated data (can be very much). I believe lots of iPhone users, that experiencing slow backups, have problems with one or many Apps that are leaking in terms of saving tons of tiny files to the iPhone, especially when they have a lot of Apps and when they did backups cross devices (i.e. iPhone 2G to iPhone 3GS).
    The article on this website http://apdevblog.com/slow-itunes-sync-backup/ should provide more information and hopefully a fix for your issue!

  • How do i sync apps to my iPhone 4S using itunes without losing aps already installed on the phone but with a different apple ID, and i dont have the apple ID??

    how do i sync apps to my iPhone 4S using itunes without losing aps already installed on the phone but with a different apple ID, and i dont have the apple ID??

    How have you managed to get apps on your phone that are tied to a different and unknown AppleID?
    If these apps were not purchased by you, having them is effectively software piracy and you should purchase them using your own AppleID if you want to keep hem.
