How to get books onto iPad when iBooks for Mac refuses to sync.

I have around 300 books which were originally in the books section of iTunes. Since upgrading to Mavericks the new iBooks for Mac is moved them all over and I ma now unable to access most of them on my iPad despite making sure all settings are correct. None of the books I use for study created by iBooks Author will now transfer. The only ones that seem to are those recently purchased from iTunes. Anybody out there found a solution yet. Apparently Apple admit that only books purchased from iTunes will sync, but I need to be able to get them on my iPad. I don't care if they sync or not.

There are a few categorical places one must visit in order to synchronize iBooks for Mac with IOS iBooks. There is no need to remove the iBook for Mac application.
System Preferences > iCloud > Documents and Data is enabled
IOS Settings > iBooks > Sync Collections (enabled) and optionally Sync Bookmarks (enabled)Assumption that iCloud is enabled on the IOS device with documents and data enabled
iBook for Mac > Preferences > General: Sync: Sync bookmarks, highlights, and collections across devices
iTunes
Pick your IOS Device under DEVICES in the left nav
Choose Books along the top toolbar
In the Books panel, choose one of the following
Books and PDF Files
Books only
PDF only
In the Sync Books panel
All Books
Selected BooksClick the box next to the books you wish to Sync
Select iTunes Sync
The books (and PDF) you selected above are now on your IOS device

How to get a free iPad from apple for school

I need a iPad but I don't have money and I need one for free fo my school to do my homework

What, exactly, would you advise? You seem to be so willing to criticize, maybe you can contribute.
How would we have any idea how to get a free iPad? This is a user to user technical support forum, not a charitable organization....

How to get free AVG Net Security Update for Mac

I have AVG Internet Security anti-virus on one of my Macs and got a notice there is an update. However, everything I find on the AVG site and elsewhere is .exe files and not for Mac. WHERE do I get the correct one? And a notice appears saying it is now $50 - originally it was free!
Also, is it safe to use AVG just for Net security and free MacScan for the MacBook itself? When my website was last hacked, AVG did not report it at all as it had the previous time. On my iMac I use free Sophos.
Is there a site that recommends the best free (or low-cost) anti-virus programs for both the actual Macs and Internet use? Most seem to be run by the makers of the anti-virus software.

I've used ClamXav for years, and recommend it. When it comes to virus's, like the stock market, past performance is no guarantee for the future. ClamXav is donation ware (free to download and use, donations accepted), and is kept very up to date. You can download it from http://www.clamxav.com . I have mine set up to scan email and downloads.
In addition, you should have your OS X firewall enabled, including in the advanced options, stealth mode.

How to get ipa onto iPad that is synchronized with another computer?

I got the iPad (not jailbroken) of my friend for testing purposes.
Of course she synchronizes her iPad with her own computer. How do I get my flash created IPA onto the iPad without deleting any of her things?
With XCode it's very simple - you just connect the device, load the provisioning profile onto it and deploy the app onto the device.
How to do it for a flash created IPA?

Control-click on the IPA and select Open With Stuffit Expander. Or, rename it to .zip and double click it. I have Stuffit Expander set to open IPAs, so that saves a bit of time.
Once it's expanded there's a Payload folder, and inside that is the app file. Take it to the Organizer window in Xcode, just like you would with any non-Flash app file.
Incidentally you'll want to do the same thing when submitting an app to the App Store. Unzip the IPA and zip compress the app file that is inside the Payload folder, and use that zip as your submission file.

How to get folio onto iPad without going through Adobe servers?

Hi,
Is there a way to create a folio in InDesign and manually transfer to the Adobe Viewer app on an iPad?
Reason being that uploading the folio onto Folio Producer seems to take forever and is way too unreliable given the urgency of creative projects we deal with.
Thanks,
Raj

Mac only:
Tether the iPad to the computer using the USB cable and open Adobe Content Viewer. From the Folio Builder panel select the folio and choose preview>preview on "name of device."
There is no way to do this on Windows.

How to get contacts onto ipad / iphone from exchange

Hi, I've setup an exchange account on my iphone / ipad. But, it's pulling down all these contacts I don't really care for.
Is there a way thru Itunes or maybe icloud to select the contacts I want installed from our exchange server? I would then disconnect sync, after I've got all the contacts I need and sync it to the cloud.
Thanks,
Joe

I Didn't understood your question well, but, there is an very good app for this, named: BUMP!

Does anyone know how to get books from macbook (ibooks) to ipad (ibooks)?

Since updating my macbook I don't know how to get my books from macbook (ibooks) to my ipad. In itunes was easier to place books to ipad.
Thanx for any reaction.

That is incorrect information. The poster is asking how to move music that is on the the phone to the computer/iTunes. iTunes does not sync from the phone to the computer with music, excpet for things purchased in iTunes. Music that has been placed on the phone would have to have been synced from the iTunes library and should be on the phone. However if you lose a hard drive due to a crash, then you would either have to restore your backup on the computer, or purchase 3fd party software to make the move. Music not purchased from iTunes will not sync back to iTunes from the phone.

My dad has itunes on his PC. I don't have my own but I recently have an iPad mini and an iPod. I don't know how to get songs onto itunes on the PC, using a different account or at least private/ separate..

My dad has itunes on his PC. I don't have my own but I recently have an iPad mini and an iPod. I don't know how to get songs onto itunes on the PC, using a different account or at least private/ separate..
So how do I create a separate I tunes on a PC which already has itunes... Or if not can I plug my iPad to the PC and use itunes on my iPad, and drag mp3s from a computer.
I'm not sure what the equivalent of a desktop is on the iPad.. And I don't actually know how to use the icloud either...
Can anyone start me off, given it have a iPad and use of a PC - not mine with existing iplayer
I do have spotify soundcloud so I could potentially use these.. If there is a route of getting either mp3's etc to end up on my iPad or iPod.
Kind Regards

Hey kevyg3,
I was able to find an article that I believe will help you move your iTunes purchases from your iPhone over to your new computer:

If you're syncing with a different iTunes library than the one you previously synced with, then there is no way around it. You're gonna loose the old data. The only way round it would be to make sure that all the music files on your iPhone is also in your iTunes library. If you still have access to the computer with the old library, you could copy the files on to an external harddrive, and then import them into your new iTunes library.
If it is in fact the same library, then the music currently on your iphone, is also in your itunes library. Just make sure that the artists/albums/playlists, or whatever you sync contains these tracks, that you allready have on your phone and don't want deleted. What i do is, i create a playlist specifically for my iPhone, and i set it up to only sync with this playlist. Whenever i hear a track from my iTunes library or buy a new track that i want on my phone, i just drag it to this playlist and next time i synchronize, it's there without deleting anything else.

How can i get an older version of Ibooks for my Ipad 1?

how can i get an older version of Ibooks for my Ipad 1?
Since I have Ibooks 3.0.2 I can't start Ibooks on my Ipad1.

For iBooks try downloading the current version on your computer's iTunes so that the app is in your purchase history. Then on your iPad go to the Purchased tab in the App Store app and see if you can download an older compatible version of it.
You can also try similar for the Kindle app - I don't know whether Amazon have made older versions of their app available in the store, so it may not work for that. If not, then as a work-around you could use their cloud reader 'app' : http://read.amazon.com - go to that site on Safari on your iPad and then create a homescreen shortcut for it (kindle cloud reader help)

HT1349 How can i get into my iPad when i forgot my password?

How can i get into my ipad when i forgot my password?

If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup).
If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present.
