HT5544 Can iBooks remember my page between devices? Can I pick up where I left off on my iPad with my iPhone?

With Kindle and the Kindle app, if I change devices I am asked if I want to resume reading where I left off on <device> at <date and time>. I was trying to continue reading on my phone where I left off on my iPad. I have been unable to do this. Is it possible? I will decide which service to use for my next book purchase (the cost is the same on both Kindle and iBooks).

You should be able do it with iBooks - go into Settings > iBooks on both devices and set Sync Bookmarks 'on'

  • If I'm reading a book on the iPhone and I want to pick up where I left off on my iPad, do I have to search for what page I was on on the iPad or is there a way to sync it?

    If I'm reading a book on the iPhone and I want to pick up where I left off on my iPad, do I have to search for what page I was on on the iPad or is there a way to sync it? Or do I just have to search for a string of text from my iPhone on my iPad?

    On both devices go to Settings>iBooks>Sync Bookmarks>On. Then when you want to quit reading on one device, tap the bookmark in the upper right corner and it will turn red. That marks your place. Close the book on the device now by tapping on the Library button in the upper left corner of the app. That will put the closed book back on the shelf. Tap the home button.
    On the other device, when you tap on the book, it should open to that page. You have to be connected to WiFi in order for this to work. You can read this older discussion for more information. I was involved in that as well.

  • How do I make Mac remember where I left off a TV Show on my Apple TV?

    I have Lion OS and iOS5 on my iDevices. Still when I watch a TV show from my Apple TV, and then resume on my Mac, the Mac doesn't know where I left off the TV show. Nor does Mac mark a TV show as watched if I have already seen it on Apple TV.
    Is there a way to remember where I left off in a TV show across devices?

    I'd think ..... it will by default remember the playback poition on my Mac anyway. Or am I missing something?
    That's not generally what happens when you open most other documents, by default you are taken back to the begriming or first page, obviously it's something you might want to do with a movie so iTunes includes this option (although yes it's set by default). many other movie applications don't remember where you left off.
    >>> OK, but just to be sure, Apple is not really leveraging iCloud in this case, which is unfortunate (See more below).
    Second, does it mean that if I download the TV Show on iPad, it will remember the position there as well? Or will it start from the beginning only?
    If you stream the movie from the iTunes Library on your mac to your iPad it will remember the position,
    >> How does one "stream" a movie from Mac to iPad? Streaming is only done to an Apple TV as far as I know
    but if you play it from a file on the iPad (i.e. downloaded or synced) then it's essentially another file on another device and that device will have no idea where you left off in another file on your mac.
    >> Ok for the downloaded case. But in the case of synced, actually it does remember where I left off, doesn't it?
    >> What I am a bit baffled by is why Apple couldn't sync media playback position via iCloud. So, I watch a TV show on my Mac (or Apple TV), and it just syncs playback position periodically to iCloud and then to all devices, so that I can pick up on any device. Say I am leaving the house and now want to switch to iPad from Apple TV, iPad will remember where I left off.

  • Aren't iBooks supposed to sync between devices?

    I have iOS5 on both my iPad 2 and my iPhone 4S. I'm reading a book from iBooks on my phone and when I get home I'm thinking it's supposed to open on my iPad where I left off.....right? Is that how it's supposed to work? I know bookmark will sync, but isn't all supposed to sync? Both devices are in WiFi. I left off on page 32 in my car. Later in my Ouse my iPad had it on the page prior to when I left my house. I closed them both, reopened them and still nothing.
    Currently my other stuff all syncs fine...calendar, contacts, etc. can anyone help with this?
    Thanks.

    When you take notes, highlight passages, or create bookmarks, iCloud pushes them to all your devices automatically. And it remembers which page you’re on, so you can pick up right where you left off.2

    Correct me if I'm wrong but this functionality worked flawlessly on the original iPad with iBooks. Apple still advertises the "last page read" feature (above), too.
    Bookmarks sync for me but last page read does not, and often times resets the last page read to that on another device.

    Hi..
    Try re downloading the iBook...

    Then sync to your iPad. You won't be charged again.

  • "Safari can't open the page because it can't find the server"

    I just bought my iPhone. The first time I attempted to log onto my home wireless network (US Robotics Wireless Router) the iPhone performed perfectly. However, the next time I attempted to logon and surf it gave me the "Safari can't open the page because it can't find the server" error message. I tried a variety of things which didn't work. I called the Apple Tech Support. Turning off the router and rebooting it was the only thing that worked. I thought my problem was resolved because after cycling the router the iPhone worked great once again. But . . . later the same day I attempted to connect to the router and the same thing happened and I got the error message. I attempted to power cycle the router just like before but this time it did not work! Help! Bad router? Wrong settings on router or iPhone?

    Do you have other wireless devices connected to this same router? Do they work?
    I really can't help you much but to say that when my router exhibited this issue it was accross the board (all notebooks would connect immediately following a router restart, but would loss connectivity until I rebooted the router again). In my case the only solution that was permanent was to replace the router.
    You may also try restarting the phone and the router, setup security - WEP - (or disable security) on the router and phone, and/or try a different wi-fi channel (may actually help).

  • I have apps from old work account that I can't remember the password to. On my personal phone those apps keep showing up but I can't update them because I can't remember the password. How can I delete them and download on my new account?

    Tap and hold an app until they all start jiggling and an X appears in the icon's top left corner. One by one tap the X to delete the app. when they are all gone you are free to buy them again with your own account.

  • Can't remember my security questions and can't access my back up email address is there a way of getting the information sent to another email?

    Can't remember my security questions and can't access my back up email address is there a way of getting the information sent to another email?

    No. You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, clicking here and picking a method for your country, and filling out and submitting this form.
    They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

    That is stealing. Your friend has no right/licence to give the songs to you. It violates copyright law.

  • How can I make Adobe Reader Touch remember where I left off?

    When I have closed a PDF, how can I make Adobe Reader Touch remember where I left off?

    Hi,
    Assuming that you have Reader 9.3.4 already installed on your machine, you can try the following to make Reader 9.3.4 as the default PDF opening application:
    1. Right click on any PDF on your system and click on the "Open With" Option in the context menu that appears. In case you get another submenu, click on Chose Program in that menu. (In case you do not see any "Open With" option, then hold down the Shift key and right click on the file)
    2. Click on Browse button in the dialog that appears, and select Reader 9. Make sure that you select the checkbox for "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file"
    3. Click on OK.
    This will make Adobe Reader 9 as the default viewer for all PDFs on your system.

    My Icloud email adress got deleted and I can't remember my password so I can't sign on to iCloud! How do I fix this problem?

    Move your curring iPhoto app to the Trash (don't empty) and then try purchasing again. If you're still having problems with the App Store you might try this:
    1 - enable the Debug menu in App Store:
    open the Terminal application.
    copy the command below and paste into the Terminal window:
    defaults write com.apple.appstore ShowDebugMenu -bool true
    followed by Enter.
    launch App Store, login.
    2 - select the Debug ➙ Reset Application option:
    3 - try again.
