How can I share my iBooks with another iPad user?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Assuming they both use the same iTunes account.
You can re-download content purchased from the iBook store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option at the bottom of the screen after you tap the store button in the top corner of the iBook app on your iOS device.

HT4539 How can I share my downloads between my two computers

How can I share my I tune down loads between my two I pads?

iTunes content can only be shared to an iPad or iPhone. (iOS based devices only).

How can I share an iBook with my wife?

I am planning a major purchase of English language reference books (dictionaries, grammars, usage guides). The prices are high and number of books I plan to buy is close to ten which adds up to a little bit less than $500.
All of them I certainly want to share with my wife who has her own iPad, Mac, and iPhone. However, we both want to keep our Apple IDs and iCloud accounts separate, and not to share emails, documents in iWorks etc.
Some postings on the Internet claim that this is possible using 'Home Sharing' feature in iTunes. I did enable 'Home Sharing' and it works for music and movies, but I cannot find how to share any of the existing contents from iBooks.
Is this what I am trying to do possible at all, and if it is, what would be the steps how to do it?

This is not exactly the same but may help

How can I share an ibook that is 250 megs with others without using the ibook store

Hello
I'm using ibook author and the book I have created is 250 megs. I'm having trouble sharing it and getting on my new ibook air. Does anyone know if there is a good way to share the file with others without publishing it or using iTunes?
I'd ideally like to use something like Dropbox or my website but every time I try to download the file using one of these sites safari/apple says file not readable.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you!

Thank you both for the help and sorry about not replying earlier. I've tried both drop box as well making the ibook downloadable from a website. I've triend to create a step by step list below that better illustrates what is happening.
1) export ibook author file as an xxxxxx.ibooks
2) upload xxxxx.ibooks to dropbox and then send my self a test link
3) using safari i download the xxxxx.ibooks file
4) while still in safari a page opens up with an icon for the xxxx.ibooks file and it has two buttons underneath it- one that says "open with..." and another that says "open in ibooks"
THIS IS WHERE THE IBOOK PROBLEM STARTS
5) I tap on the "open in ibooks" button - nothing happens
6) I tap on the "open with..." button and an icon for the ibook app pops up
7) I tap on the ibook app icon and nothing happens
8) I tap and hold the "open in ibooks" button for 2 plus minutes (the time for holding the button down fluctuates from 45 seconds to 5 minutes)
9) the xxxxxx.Ibooks file opens in the ibook app.
I am very happy that I was able to get the xxxxx.ibooks file to open on my ipad. However, this is not a smooth or intuitive process. I need to share the xxxxxx.ibooks file with many people and I want to find a process for getting them the book that is very easy.
any advice is appreciated
Do you think the problem could be the size of the file?
Thank you

How do I share my iBooks with another iPad with a diff account

I have two iPads, one personal and one business, both with different logins and account names. I want to put my iBooks and iTunes from my personal iPad onto my business iPad. Can I do this?

Good question. Our problem is my husband has an i-Tunes account, but I set up the i-Pad using my email account. Apple won't allow for sharing because of the different e-mail accounts. A friend suggested we try linking the e-mail accounts, but I cannot find where. They want us to wait 90 days between playing songs on the i-Pad versus on the computer or pay $27.99 to use the i-Cloud. I am not impressed, so I hope someone knows how to fix this.

How to screen share an ibook from ipad to mac?

Is it possible to view an Ibook from my Ipad onto my Mac computer?

Take a look at Reflector:

Note that it won't give you control of the iPad from the Mac. You'll still have to change pages, etc. from the iPad.

How can I share PDF documents in Ibooks

How can I share PDF between my Apple devices with Ibooks? I have on my Ipad a lot of PDF manuals that I want to see on my other devices so I don´t need to download them to Ibooks on every device. Sync is on in the setup but it seems only to work with books and not PDF.

No - it will not work with PDFs. You might consider another cloud service such as Box, DropBox, or Google Docs.

How to share an ibook from my ipad2 to wife's ipad2?

How to share an ibook from my ipad2 to wife's ipad2?

Unless both ipads were set up with the same Apple ID, there really isn't.
This does depend on the app however. I don't read iBooks, but there are some e-reader apps like Kindle that may allow you to 'loan' the book to someone else. Or, using an e-reader app, the book can be 'checked out' of a library that supports downloaded books. You have an account, 'borrow' the file, use an e-reader app to read it, and have a certain time frame in which to finish reading.

How can I make multiple computers share one iBooks library?

I have several computers with which I sync my iPad. I loaded a bunch of PDFs into iBooks onto my iPad from one of them *but* the PDFs do not show up in the iBooks library on the other computers. If I click on "Sync Books" on one of hte others it asks me if I want to remove all the existing books on the iPad which I most certainly do not. How can I keep the iBooks library in sync on these multiple computers?

Books and pdfs aren't synced. Bookmarks, highlights and collections can be synced across devices. pdfs downloaded onto an iPad can be transferred to a computer when connected using the USB cable.

How to screen share a Tiger iBook from a Leopard iMac outside my home LAN

Okay, I have recently installed Tiger on my girlfriends G3 iBook, and I am able to control it from my iMac via Screensharing, but so far I have only tried this while they are both on my home network, (the iBook is using an ethernet connection from my iMac which itself is connected to the internet via Airport)
What I am hoping someone can do for me is to give me step by step guide on how I would control the iBook when it is connected to the internet outside my home LAN.
I have seen a tutorial for Chicken Of The VNC, but I am still in the dark as to whether I need to install this on my Leopard iMac, or on the Tiger iBook. I am also concerned about the security risks inherent in doing this, so I would like to learn how make a secure connection from the outside world.
I am completely clueless when it comes to port forwarding, or anything to do with ports for that matter,
I would be massively grateful if someone could talk me through this.

The easy way is to use something like LogMeIn.com, YuuGuu.com, CoPilot.com, Timbuktu, TeamViewer.com. Some of these are free for non-commercial use.
They figure out how to deal with home routers, and provide encrypted connections. The down side is that they are not always fast.
Using a secure VNC connection tends to involve either setting up a VPN server on the remote system, or using ssh tunnels. I'm an ssh tunnel person myself, but it has lots of steps.
a) Enable Sharing -> Remote Login on the remote system (enables ssh logins).
a.1) give the remote system a secure password.
b) enable the VNC server on the remote system (Sharing -> Apple Remote Desktop)
b.1) Via Apple Remote Desktop configuration, give VNC access a password.
b.2) Optionally use a different VNC server, for example Vine Server.
c) Configure the remote system's home router to "Forward Port 22" from the internet to the target system.
d) Using something like whatismyip.com get the internet visible IP address of the remote system.
d.1) optionally get a free dyndns.org or no-ip.com dynamic domain name and run a dynamic DNS update client on the remote system.
e) On your system, start an ssh connection to the remote system
ssh -l user -L 5900:127.0.0.1:5900 remote.sys.ip.addr
Password: ........
f) Use your VNC client to connect to the ssh tunnel using
127.0.0.1:5900
as the ssh tunnel address.
g) Enter the remote system's VNC password (separate from the ssh username password).
I have left out a lot of details. But knowing the steps, you can most likely do google lookups to get the details you need.

How do I share with another I pad owner. A iBook.

How can I share my I book purchase with another I pad owner?

There are two ways to share a calendar. You can share a calendar, read-only, publicly, to anyone with a CalDAV client (such as iCal).
Or you can share a calendar, privately, read-write if so desired, with another iCloud subscriber.
So it depends on whether your contact needs to be able to write to the calendar - if so he will need to get an iCloud account (which is free).

How can I share my itunes book with my tablet (non-Apple product)?

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).

How can i send an ibook to a friend?

How can I send an iBook to a friend?

The only way to share iBooks that you have purchased is via Family Sharing, which is not what I think you are aiming for:
Family Sharing - Apple Support
You can "Gift" a book by going to the iBooks store, selecting the book, and in the dropdown next to the price, you can select to Gift it to someone.
To the best of my knowledge, these are the only two options.
Cheers,
GB
