How can I read iBooks in my Mac on my iPad?

I have recently uploaded a number of books on my Mac under iBooks. I would like to link these with iPad. Can I do this through iCloud? Rajan

If the books were iTunes purchases you can download them directly to your iPad.
Open iBooks > Store > Purchased
Otherwise they need to be synced via iTunes.

How can i read ibooks on my mac?

how can I read Ibooks books on my mac?

I work in a high tech company (not in IT) and as a sideline I fix close friends and family's PCs and Macs, usually remotely over Logmein. The reason I switched to Macs over the past four years is that most of my friends and family that have switched from PCs to Macs require little or no support. So I am an Apple fan boy by my experiences and not just for the sake of being a fan. It just makes practical sense.
Which leads me to the point. I am also an Apple stock holder. So I prefer to buy a book on the Apple Store rather than the Amazon store even though I realize my recent purchase of an iBook at $13.99 is of no consequence to Apple's bottom line.
In that light, I would of course like to be able to read my iBooks on my MacBook Air or the PCs and Macs I use at work.
It just makes practical sense.

How can I transfer files from my mac to my iPad, e.g., mp4 files. Do I have to use iTunes?

How can I transfer files from my mac to my iPad in an easier way? I'd like to put some movies on, and I can use iTunes, but is there another way? I have transferred epub books using Dropbox. Movies eat up a lot of dropbox space and the iPad has trouble getting them.

USB disk. You still have to go through iTunes.
Connect device to computer/mac
Select your device in iTunes menu.
Apps...
At thebottom of the page you will see the app.
Select it and the Add for windows and + for mac
Hope that helped.
In the long run there is no way to access or uplood data on your device without iTunes unless you JailBrake....

How can I remove iCloud from my Mac Book and iPad and Mac Book Air and then just reload back on the MB Air and iPad only?

How can I remove iCloud from my Mac Book and iPad and Mac Book Air and then just reload back on the MB Air and iPad only, which have a different user with a separate Apple ID?

You have quite muddied up the waters, I'm afraid. Assuming you now have a single GUID partition formatted Mac OS Extended, Journaled, you should try reinstalling Lion:
Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

How can I transfer photos from my mac to my iPad?

How can I transfer photos from my mac to my ipad?

If you are have iTunes 11 on your Mac then you may want to re-enable the left-hand sidebar via View > Show Sidebar (option-command-S on a Mac), which might make it easier to navigate.
To sync photos, connect and select your iPad on the left-hand sidebar 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 (or iPhoto ro Aperture albums) to sync to the iPad. There is a bit more info on this page. 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 - synced photos can't be deleted directly on the iPad (unless you want to remove all synced photos), instead they are deleted by not including them in the next photo sync.

How can I add photos from my mac to my ipad without deleting the photos on my ipad, How can I add photos from my mac to my ipad without deleting the photos on my iPad, How can I add photos from my mac to my ipad without deleting the photos on my iPad

I have photos on my Ipad that I copied from my PC (that I am selling) & now want to add my photos from my Mac to keep them all in one place. When I try to sync it says it will delete the photos on my Ipad unless they were taken with the Ipad. How can I just add what is on my Mac to my Ipad without deleting what is on my Ipad?

"OK, so how do I transfer images to my computer? "
This has been answered. The sync is one way - computer to ipad. You can e-mail them to yourself.
" Whenever I connect the iPad to my Mac I get a message telling me that all the photos on the iPad will be replaced. Why?"
This is the design of the product. It will sycn with one computer. Sycning to anotehr will erase hte current content. The ipad simply mirrors the selected content of the computer to which it is synced.
"When I connect my mp3 player to my PC, at home, I can find the player in Explorer and edit the contents, move or delete files, add files from my computer etc. All under my controll, simple and easy."
OK. This is not the case with the ipad. It is not designed as a storage device.

By making sure that you have the same settings on both your mac and your ipad for icloud- with the same apple ID for both. Then they should sync automatically.

How Can I Read iBooks on my Laptop?

On my Laptop, I can:
a) Listen to songs I purchased, with iTunes
b) Listen to podcasts I subscribe to, with iTunes
c) Listen to Audio Books I purchased, with iTunes
d) Watch Videos i purchased, with iTunes
WHY CAN"T I READ BOOKS I PURCHASED with iBooks, with iTunes?
Amazon's Kindle lets me read Kindle Books on my iPad, my iPhone, and my LAPTOP.
Shouldn't APPLE let me do the same?
Please, Apple, give me an iBook Reader for my laptop.

Agreed. But there's another even bigger problem:
I purchased the Steve Jobs biography from iTunes.
Then after starting it I received an offer of a free updated version.
I have made many notes and bookmarks throughout while reading and as a teacher these annotations assist me in selecting passages to read to my classes in computing.
I asked Apple Support if the new version will eliminate all these bookmarks and notes?
or was there a way for me to retain BOTH versions?
herewith their reply:
Dear David,
.......I understand that you would like to download the updated version of "Steve Jobs" but are concerned that your notes and annotations will be lost. I can certainly appreciate your concern and will be glad to help correct this issue.
Unfortunately, the notes and annotations are tied to each iBook. Deleting the iBook would cause you to lose those notes and annotations. In this situation, I recommend either downloading the updated version to a different device or not downloading it all together.
I apologize for any inconvenience this issue may cause. Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns. I'll be more than happy to assist you with whatever you need. Thank you for being a valuable member of the Apple family, we truly appreciate your continued support.
Sincerely,
iTunes Store/Mac App Store Customer Support
Valued books need longevity. Sir Isaac Newton's legacy library was used to determine his interests via the annotations he made - even the dog eared folds he used to make page corners point to important/interesting bits on a page! Then there's Fermat's Last theorem!!!
We need iBooks with more permanancy. They need longevity, portability, quotability and lendability.

How can I read ibooks on my macbook

How can I access mail on my mac from my iPad?

I have recently converted to imac and ipad mini from Windows and so am still a newcomer to planet apple. I think I have eventually sorted myself out but with one exception in mail.
I have transferred my outlook for mac filing system to mail using OLM Converter pro and all seems well except that I want to be able to see use and sync the filing system from my ipad mini as well as the mac. It seems I need to transfer the filing system on my mac to the server so the ipad can access it - is this right, can it be done and how?
Any other fixes very welcome please
many thanks!

thanks for the reply. sorry I didn't make it clear regarding the "filing system" - this is just my name for the series of folders I created in Outlook for storing my emails. Are you able to help with this?

How can I transfer books from my Mac to my iPad without using iTunes?

?

I can get books into iBooks on my ipad easily enough by just emailing them to myself or using Dropbox. The problem with that route is that it loses the book's genre, which must be something iTunes handles separately from the file.
Anyone have any ideas on how to retain the genre metadata outside of iTunes?
