How do we sync iBooks from a iMac to a Macbook?

I have no problem with iBooks from iMac to iOS devices.
But my MBP is being isolated. Books downloaded from iMac doesn't appear in MBP and vice versa.
Have already checked the Sync option in General Preferences.
Is this how iBooks work? Are there any alternatives to make them sync automatically?
OSX 10.9.4

Hello resting,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Check the settings below in your iBooks application, and also ensure you're logged in with the same Apple ID on all of your devices.
If you don't see all of your purchased items in iBooks, make sure you "Show All Purchases" is turned on:
To see all your purchased books on your Mac, choose View > Show Purchases in iCloud.
To see all your purchased books on your iOS device, choose Settings > Books > Show All Purchases.

How do I sync bookmarks from my iMac to my Macbook Air?

I want my Macbook Air to have the same Safari bookmarks as my iMac? How do I make this happen? Does iCloud do this for me?

Yes, iCloud can do that for you on an ongoing basis. Just log into iCloud on each of the computers using your Apple ID and Password, and check the box in iCloud to sync your bookmarks. Tha should do it.
Hope this helps

Can you sync ibooks from an iMac to MacBook Air with the same apple id?

Can you sync ibooks from an iMac to a macbook air with the same apple id? Settings set to allow this.

If the ibooks were purchased from Apple, and download new purchases is selected in iBooks preferences, then yes.

How do I sync ibooks from the ipad mini to the iphone 4?
Thank you

If they are iTunes purchases and they are still in the store then you should be able to re-download them on your phone via the Purchased tab in the ibookstore in the iBooks app. If they are not iTunes purchases, or are no longer in the store, then you can copy them from your iPad to your computer's iTunes via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases (that should copy non-iTunes purchased books/PDFs from the iBooks app as well as ibooks) and you can then sync them to your phone.
If you then want to keep collections and bookmarks in-line between the two devices then use Settings > iBooks > Sync Bookmarks and Sync Collections 'on' ('Sync Collections' won't copy books/PDFs between the devices, it will just put those that are already on both devices in the same collection)

How can i download keynotes from my iMac to my macbook air

how can i download keynotes from my iMac to my macbook air

Do you mean the application Keynote or projects you have already created in Keynote on the iMac?
If it's the latter just copy the files across the network to the Air. If it's the application itself and you bought it from the Mac App Store you can legally install it on any computer registered to you (I think there is a limit, but I'm not sure how many it is). Just log on to the Mac App Store from the MacAir and download it again - you won't be charged a second time.
Edit: Just realised you may mean keynotes of various Apple events - if so, ignore me . If this is what you want, have a look here: http://www.apple.com/apple-events/

Question: How do I sync contacts from my iPad to my MacBook Pro running Mavericks?

How do I sync contacts from my iPad to my MacBook Pro running Mavericks?

Contacts sync via iCloud.
Set up iCloud on your iPad and your MBP, with the same iCloud account on both, with the same Apple ID.
On the Mac you set this up with System Preferences > iCloud, and have Contacts checked in the box on the right.
It looks very much the same on the iPad, Settings > iCloud.
If you have set this up and it's still not working, then sign out of and then back into your iCloud accounts.

How do I import photos from my iMac to my MacBook Pro ?

Hello !
I would like to import an album created in iPhoto from my iMac to my MacBook Pro.
I would like the photos to appear exactly on my book as they are organized in my album on my iMac.
Any suggestion/idea/advice would be more than Welcome !
THANK You !

Actually, I found that this album was still in the trash (Recent) and was able to restore it !!!
Ah so the question really isn't about moving albums but how to restore something you deleted by mistake from one of your libraries.
If you had actually asked that question then you probably would have gotten better and more to the point responses. In addition the need for backups would have been mentioned at some point.
You got lucky this time. Being 'more careful next time' is really not a good backup stratergy
You should take two things away from this, one ask the question that actually deals with your problem and two start a good backup program right now! Next time the trash might be empty.

How do i sync music from old imac to new iphone?

I synced Handels music cd to old imac and nano. Then I bought new imac and new iphone. Never did migration. The new iphone is synced with new imac. I lost the Handel cd and I wanted to get the Handels music onto my new iphone. I want to transfer handels music from old imac (or old nano) to new imac or new iphone. Is this possible?
Thanks for any input.

You cannot transfer it directly to the iPhone, but you can copy the music to the new Mac. If they are on the same network you can drag the folder containing the music from the old iMac to the desktop on the new Mac. Then on the new mac drag and drop that folder onto iTunes in the dock bar. If they are not on the same network copy the folder to a data CD on the old Mac, then put the CD in the new Mac and drag the folder from the CD to iTunes.

Transfer iTunes Library and iPhone Sync data from old iMac to new Macbook Pro

Hi,
I bought a macbook pro in September last year, previous to this I had an iMac. This has all my music and iTunes stored on it.
Is there a way to transfer my iTunes over to my new Macbook Pro and sync my iPhone as if my phone thinks it's the same computer, so I don't have to restore my phone or set it up as a new one.
Thanks.

Yes.
Simply copy the entire /Music/iTunes folder from old computer to /Music/ on new computer.

How to transfer Address Book from old iMac to new MacBook Pro?

I will soon be getting a MacBook Pro 15" Intel Core i5 with Snow Leopard and want to transfer my Address Book from my old 2003 iMac flat 15" panel running 10.4.11. What is the best way to do that? Is there a particular file or folder that I can copy onto a flash drive to transfer to the new computer? Or can I use my Mobile Me Backup that is on my external drive (or on CD) to do it even though the Backup on the new computer would be a newer version from the older Backup that has the data? I would like to avoid having to use the Migration Assistant if I can, since it looks like that is designed to transfer whole categories of files (like all "files and folders", etc.), which I don't want to do. Thanks in advance for the help.

When I bought my new MacBook Pro, the sales person showed me how to do the V-card method that you suggested. I tried it at home, and it worked. I have been worrying for years about the best way to do this, so was very relieved to find such a simple method. David Pogue in the Tiger Missing Manual also mentioned another tip which I used: he said to select all the address entries you want to transfer (in my case it was all of them) and then just drag the whole lot out onto the desktop. A V-card icon appeared that said: "Name of Person plus 344 others". I then copied that to a flash drive and then onto the new computer desktop. I then dragged it into the Address Book window. As you said it was done in a matter of seconds. Thank you so much!

How do I sync contacts from my iPhone to my MacBook?

I know there is a way to sync my contacts from my iPhone 6 to my Macbook (running on Yosemite)...but who can tell me how to do it?!
Right now, my MacBook has all these random contacts but I want to be able to see all my iPhone contacts on my Mac; and if I change info on one device, I want it to sync across all my devices.
I've got iCloud enabled and the contacts box check on both devices, but I don't see them merged? Any help would be appreciated!

Log in to https://icloud.com. Do you see all of your contacts there? If you have iCloud enabled on the MacBook and the iPhone they should sync in near-real time. Mine all do. However, all of the contacts on the phone must be in a contact group that is synced to iCloud. If you have contacts from before you set up iCloud they may not be in a group that syncs. You will have to get a 3rd party app that allows moving contacts between groups on the phone, as the built in app cannot do that. There are several in the app store.

How do i sync photos from iphone over icloud to macbook pro?

I am totally confused as to why photos taken on my iphone or ipad do not sync over icloud to my MacBook Pro.
If I sync manually I end up with everything else such as calendar and contacts duplicated.
How can I get the photos to sync over icloud?

Photos taken on one device will sync to all devices via photo stream providing that all the devices are logged into the same iCloud account and photo stream is enabled on each of those devices.
