HT4059 Transfer ibooks from PC to iPad

I have followed the instructions in "Can I download books from other websites?" and can get the book onto the iPad but get a " Cannot Open 'Name of book' It is formatted incorrectly, or is not a format that eBooks can open", despite the book being an ePub format.  How do I get this to work?

Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
Plug the USB flash drive (works the same with an SD card) into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

  • Can't transfer iBooks from Mac to iPad Air

    I have just recently got an iPad Air and am trying to sync a couple epub books I downloaded.  All of the research I've done to try and sync them tells me I can sync it through iTunes.  But when I choose File>Devices>Sync, it doesn't give me the option of "books".  It is only giving me the option to sync "my iPad".  I don't know where I'm going wrong or why other options won't come up.  Help?

    Does this help?
    If you use a Windows Phone 8 device, you have to go for Windows Phone App 3, at least I had to. Therefore, you need at least OS X v10.7. Because OS X v10.9 is offered for free even for OS X v10.6 users, did you consider that path?

    You plugged it into your Mac? Works here!
    Nokia 300 » Menu » Settings » USB » ‘Ask on connection’ or ‘Memory Card’.

    If you Mac does not show the microSD on the desktop, what SD-Adapter do you use (brand/model)? Some require a software driver to be installed to work with OS X.

    how do I transfer apps from iPod to iPad 2?

    If you want app data to transfer you have to restore the iPod from the backup of the iPod. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup. Also see:

    How can I transfer music from my old iPad to my new MacBook ?
    My old MacBook was stolen and now I have all my music still on my IPad but like to get it back in my ITunes as well, is this possible ?

    If the music was purchased from the iTunes Store, simply sign into your iTunes Store account on iTunes. From there, go to the main page of the store. Then, on the right, there should be a purchased button. Tap there, and walla! You can download all of your past purchases. If it wasn't from the iTunes Store, use a third party Mac app.

  • How to transfer music from laptop to ipad

    I have music in my laptop in itune folder.How do I transfer music from itune in laptop to itune in ipad2.

    If you have iTunes installed on the computer, you have to make sure it is the current version.
    Just run iTunes and go to "File > Check for Update" to check whether your iTunes is the latest one. Then, use USB cable to connect iPad with computer as well.
    After iTunes recognize your iTunes, just hit "iPad" tab under the "DEVICE" section of the iTunes sidebar. On the right screen, you can see a new window to list you all categories of iPad. Just hit "Music" tab. Check the box next to "Sync Music" and click the circle next to "Entire music library" or "Selected playlists, artists and genres." Click the boxes next to specific artists, playlists and genres if you want to sync specific music to your iPad.
    Now, you may press the "Apply" button in the bottom-right corner of the main iTunes screen, followed by "Sync" in the same area to transfer the music to your iPad.

  • How to transfer files from mac to ipad without using itunes

    how to transfer files from mac to ipad without using itunes ???
    as i want to use my ipad for official use as well...please suggest..

    well to be 100% technical, no you didn't but that aside, it good to know there are ways for people to transfer music into the default apps without iTunes, if they have a need.
    I tend to use 3rd party apps for documents, like your mentioned iExplorer etc, which are handy.
    I see from a search the two "apps" you mentioned are not iOS apps, which I had assumed, SyncPod and FreeSync are apps for your computer, that would explain their access to the default Music/Video apps.
    I had wondered how Apple had allowed iOS apps in the store that could get around the sandboxing in iOS of apps.

    You have posted your issue in Using Apple Support Communities whose topic is 'How to use this forum software's interface, features and/or how to find what you wish'. It is a relatively low traffic and inappropriate forum for your problem. I will ask our Hosts to move it to " Using iPad " where it may get a more rapid response from your fellow users.

  • I need to transfer files from a friends iPad to my desktop. Is this possible? If so, how?

    I need to transfer files from a friends iPad to my desktop. Is this possible? If so, how?

    Depending upon what the files are - The easiest way to do it - in my opinion - would be to email the files from your friend's iPad to you. You can't sync to another computer and email should work just fine. You email the files from within the app in which the file is saved or created. Most apps will have a tool icon or an arrow icon at the top if you tap on - it will give you an option to email the file
