How to transfer PDFs from Ipad "not purchased from ITunes"

Hi all and thanks for taking the time to read this.
All I want to do is get my PDF files downloaded from the web from iBooks on my ipad to iBooks on my iPhone.
Because they are not Purchased from ITunes ,this seems to be a real problem.
I tend to download instruction manuals for my TV, washing machine, Surround Sound system, car stereo....you get the idea... To my ipad in iBooks.
All I want to do is put them on my iPhone in ibooks too.
Everything I have found on the web covers PDFs downloaded from iTunes, using Transfer Purchases etc. surely they cant be stuck in one place because they were free downloads.
Any help greatly appreciated.

Hi all,
I'm still looking for the solution to this but in the mean time I have a workaround which others may find useful.
When you first view the , say instruction manual for whatever in PDF form, when asked to 'open in', go for Dropbox, then from there open it in iBooks,
At least this way it starts its life in a common saved place so you can then access it on your other apple devices.

  • How do I transfer music that was not purchased on iTunes or iPhone (were from my computer files) onto my iPhone 3gs using iCloud?

    I have done all the settings for iCloud on both my PC (Windows 7) and my iPhone 3gs, and I had to research how to get music from my iTunes onto my iPhone through iCloud. I go to store > Purchased > Music > Not on this iPhone, but this only brings up songs I actually purchased on iTunes.
    However, I have recently added music from my files on the pc and they do not appear in"Not on this iPhone" to download to my iPhone.
    It is very important I find out how to get the other music onto my iPhone as I can no longer plug it into my pc since it blue screens the pc every time (No idea why)

  • How do I transfer files from my iPod to my new computer when most of my content is ripped from discs, not purchased from iTunes?

    All of the topics I've read that discuss transferring files from an old iPod, to a new computer don't address the issue of the files NOT being purchased from iTunes. My windows vista computer died, and I downloaded the iTunes software onto my new 8.1 computer, but my "classic", with 90G of content won't sync with the new iTunes. Yes, I have authorized the new computer. Of course, I had no chance to download my library from my old computer, to my new, because the old one's dead. It seems that you aren't allowed to transfer your entire library,  just merch from iTunes. I feel there must be a work around, and Apple's just making it difficult for some reason. I'd hate to think I have to go through the time comsuming task of reloading thousands of CDs to my new computer. Any help out there? I would think this scenario happens all the time.

    Unfortunately, it does happen all the time.
    It's always been a sensible idea to maintain a backup of your iTunes Library on something like an external hard drive. iTunes does not allow for transfer from the iPod to iTunes, in the main, to prevent illegal copying of music.
    I believe a programme such as Yamipod will allow you to copy from an iPod to iTunes, although I've never tried it.

  • Can i transfer the entire contents of one ipod to another.  Songs were imported from CD not purchased at itunes store

    Can I transfer the contents of one pod to another.  The songs were imported from CD's; they were not purchased at the itunes store.  Basically I am asking if I can transfer to a new ipod.

    Thanks.  Not all the songs on my old ipod are on my computer at home.  But I'll transfer what I can from my home computer; and then bring the new ipod into work and transfer the rest of the music.  So simple I should have thought of it!

  • How do you sync new music not purchased in iTunes to my iPhone

    Hey there,
    I've always been able to sync all of my music (some purchased through iTunes, some from CDs, and some downloaded from YouTube and converted to MP3) without a problem. Recently I've noticed my new music that I've got from YouTube isn't syncing to my iPhone. It plays fine in iTunes though, and other music I've got using this method plays fine on my iPhone.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Don't worry there is an easy fix to this,
    your phone is probably not "synced" to the computer (just another dumb iTunes thing).
    How to fix: 1. Plug your iPhone into your computer, then click on it when it appears in iTunes.
    2. Under the "settings" tab in iTunes click music
    3. At the top it should say "sync music" with a little check box next to it, If it is unchecked, click it.
    4. at the bottom right of the page click "apply", a dialog box should appear telling you that you are going to erase your music (don't worry it doesn't actually erase),
    5. click "ok" or "yes" whatever the box says to continue, then another dialog box should appear saying that if you conform you will be erasing all your iPhone's settings and content, (again don't worry it doesn't actually)
    6. you should now be able to sync music onto your device (assuming is a supported format ex. mp3)

  • HT1766 Can it restore iTunes that I transferred from CD(not purchased from iTunes)?

    Most of my music are from cd I transferred, which are not in my pc anymore.
    Will back up save those too?

    they will not back up. itunes backups do not contain music of any kind because the music is already on the computer. The only way they would've been backed up is if you made a backup of the music file itself on your computer

  • ITunes U content from iPad not syncing to iTunes

    I have a couple of iTunes U courses on my iPad (downloaded using my iPad) which I couldn't transfer to my iTunes library during normal sync. The iTunes ID I used for downloading is the same  iTunes ID that is authorized on my Mac mini iTunes.
    Why doesn't iTunes transfer these purchases back to the iTunes library?

    Same thing...I have iTunes U courses on my iPhone, but they are not syncing over to my iTunes library.

  • How do I pay for ipad app purchase with iTunes card

    I Am using an ipad.  I went to the App Store and downloaded a free game.  However it has other features you can pay for. I want those.  How do I pay for it with an iTunes card? Only option it gives me is credit card

    You need to add your iTunes gift card as your method of payment for your Apple ID. Once you do that the amount for things you purchase will be deducted from the gift card.

  • HT1473 How can I transfer my music (not purchased from Itunes) from my Ipad/Iphone to my new Itunes library on a Macbook Pro?

    I've recently bought a new Macbook Pro and in my Itunes Library everything I have purchased from Itunes is in my new Itunes Library.
    However I want to transfer all my music (not purchased from itunes) from my Ipad/Iphone to my new Itunes Library.... and I have absoutely no idea how to do this? Also I'm scared to press sync when my ipad is plugged into my Mac incase will loose all this music!
    Help Please!

    The iphone/ipad/ipod is not a backup/storage device.  The sync is one way - computer to iphone/ipad/ipod.
    Copy everything from your old computer or your backup copy of your old computer.
