How do I share a book?

My husband and I share books that we buy on the iBook Store with each other. It worked fine in iTunes prior to Mavericks, but I can't figure out how to do it now. Has anyone had any luck with this?
Thanks.

For now, until the add Home Sharing to iBooks (assuming they intend to), you just have to copy the individual eBooks from computer to computer:
- drag the book out of iBooks on the first computr (into an e-mail, iMessage, AirDrop, USB memory stick)
- on the scond computer, just drag-and-drop into iBooks...

How do I share a book with my daughter or wife.?

I use iTunes to buy books and read them on my iPad. If I had a paper book I could share it with my wife or daughter. How can I share once it is on my iPad ?

If they have iOS devices, the can download the books to their iTunes library by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
and then sync.
If the devices have iOS 4.3 or later they can download them directly to their device following the instructions in the above article.
They will have to sing the iPod/iTunes into the account that purchased them.

How can we share e-books between 2 accounts?

My husband and I both have Kobo accounts, Adobe DE accounts and 2 separate e-book readers (both Aluretek Libre's).
How can we share books?

One of you will have to buy the book first (and put on reader, I assume). According to what Kobo Customer Care told me, with Adobe Digital Editions open that person then goes on the site the book was bought from, signs in, goes on purchase history and clicks on the book. Hit Download epub or pdf, choose Open for Windows or Save for Mac, Adobe will show the book. make sure you are in library view, plug the reader in and authorize the device. Drag and drop the book into the reader icon that shows up under the Bookshelf items. It should copy the file. When done, eject using the safely remove mass storage device option. After unplugging, it will process the new content. I haven't done it yet, I just received the instructions.

How do I share address book and calendars with other iCloud users?

I guess the title of the discussion question says it all.
My wife, and other family members want to SHARE Contacts, Calendars etc... with other iCloud users.
Simple task... most people would want to do it...
But... I can't find an easy answer... how do I do it?

Roger, thanks... I had continued my search and found this information on the discussion.
Now, my biggest concern is the ADDRESS BOOK... I'd like to publish, specific GROUPS within my master Address Book to other iCloud users... with either Read Only, or Read Write permisions.
Do you have any knowledge or suggestion on how that can be accomplished in iCloud?
It seems as though this would be FOUNDATIONAL in iCloud if APPLE expects it to be a USABLE SERVICE.
Thanks for your help...

How do I share one book with a class set of ipads

I am new to ipad I was given 14 iPads and want to be able to share books(class set) and documents with all of the iPads so that we could review the books and documents together

For books, see my previous post to you: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5239492?tstart=0
For sharing documents like PDFs, I like using Dropbox. Each of your students can download the Dropbox app on his/her iPad. You can then set up a shared folder in Dropbox that each of your students can view or edit (depending on what permissions you set on the folder). From your computer or iPad, you can add PDF files to the Dropbox folder and your students will wirelessly be able to view these documents from their Dropbox app.
Hope this helps!

First time using multiple users - how do I share addy books, etc?

Hello, We just got the new iMac and for the first time I am setting it up for multiple users. Can anyone guide me to a tutorial or guide on sharing different things between users?
Specifically, I'd like to share iTunes and iPhoto libraries and also Entourage address books with the new users that have been set up. Probably some other stuff to that I'm not thinking of. I browsed around without any luck.
Many thanks.

You're welcome!
I've been on these discussion boards with various logins I always seem to forget since the iMac first came out, 8 years or so ago.
LOL Yeah, I have to drop the Welcome... bit. It's bitten me two or three times already since the forums software was changed....
I'd at least like to import my current address book into my wife's address book...
Open your Address Book and choose the Directory, 'All.' Select an entry and then do Command-A so that all of the entries are highlighted. Go to the File menu and choose Export vCard. Export it to your Desktop, and then put it in the Shared folder. Log in to your wife's account, open Address Book, and then from the File menu, choose Import > vCards, point to the vCard in the Shared folder, and you're set....

How do I share Address Book/Contacts with my partner's account? We already figured out how to share Calendars

I am in the process of setting up separate icloud accounts for my husband and me (whereas we previously shared one). We both want read/write access to a single address book across all devices (desktop, laptop, ipad, two iphones), which we've been able to do for Calendars - why not for Contacts???

The same sharing facility that you have for calendars does not exist for contacts. What you could do is create a second ("secondary") iCloud account on one of devices by going to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Add Account>iCloud and signing in with a different ID and turn Contacts on in the secondary account. Then add the secondary account to the other iOS devices and your Mac (by going to System Preferences>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Add Account>iCloud). This will give you a merged listed of contacts in the secondary account on your devices while keeping other data separated in the primary account.

How do I share iPhoto Book

I used to be able to copy a project book to a hard drive, then show it to a client on their laptop. Then she could make changes if necessary. But with iPhoto 11, I can't seem to move/export/copy anything to the book projects.
Any suggestions?

Synneve1: I tried your Print to PDF suggestion, and it worked great. But I got the same white border along the top and the right side.
In my print dialog box there is a setting that allows you to change the Scale. I set my Scale to 102% and it was just enough to get rid of that ugly white border without changing the overall look of the page.
Just thought I would pass along the tip!

How to share photo books online

How can we share photo books created in iPhoto so others can buy the same book?

Duplicate your iPhoto library and delete all events, that are not needed for the book from the copied iPhoto library (don't forget to empty the trash). Then copy the second library with only the photos for the book to a USB stick and send your friends or family the stick.
Format the stick to MacOS Extended (Journaled) before you send it.

How can you share books with family members?

I purchased a book in iTunes and it's on my library shelf. How can I share this book with my sister?

If she has access to your Apple ID she can have your iBook on her device. If she syncs to the same computer, just sync it to her device. If she syncs to a different computer, copy the book from your iTunes library onto a flas drive (you'll find it on your hard drive in iTunes>iTunes Music>Books; it's an .epub file), then authorize your Apple ID on her computer (iTunes>Store>Authorize this Computer), then add the book to her library (iTunes>File>Add to Library) where she can sync it to her device.

If it's an ibook then you can't - they can currently only be read in the iBooks app on an iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch (there isn't even a Mac or PC reader for them).
