iBook highlighting exist?

Yes.
Double tap the word you want to highlight then tap highlight from the popup menu.
Is this a PDF?
iBooks has never allowed annotation of PDFs.

How to email/print my highlights or notes from ibooks or kindle ipad app?

How to email/print my highlights or notes from ibooks or kindle ipad app?

I also had this question, and spent time puzzling over it. But here's the answer:
Open the relevant iBook
Click the icon that looks like a 3 line bullett list
Click on Notes
Click on the icon in the top right hand side that looks like a page with an up arrow pointing out of it.
Choose Edit Notes
Select the notes or highlights that you want printing (a tick appears in the circular radio button)
Click SHARE
Choose either Mail or Print
Voila

Hi DRJibo,
If you are interested in syncing iBooks via iCloud, you may find the following articles helpful:
If you start reading a book on one device, you can pick up right where you left off on another device. Collections, highlights, notes and bookmarks sync across all your devices.

How can i mark books (pdf) in iBooks on my iPad?

Hello,
I am using the new update - and Mavericks on my Macbook. I want to synchronize those marks and annotations, but i don't know how to make an annotation or marks in iBooks on my iPad -
please help! thank you!

I've been looking at this today also, unfortunately it looks like there is no option in iBooks either in Mavericks or iOS to annotate and sync those notes via iCloud, when the book is in PDF format (despite the implication that you can). Best I have found, is that bookmarks sync between iOS devices, but not to Mavericks.
The annotation option is not present in iOS, and the PDF just opens in Preview in Mavericks, rather than iBooks.
I found this workaround helped:
1) Convert the PDF to ePub format - you can easily do this here for free: http://ebook.online-convert.com/convert-to-epub
2) Add the converted ePub book to iBooks on Mavericks. (Add to Library from the File menu)
3) Sync the book to iOS using iTunes in the normal way (the ePub book will automatically appear under Books in iTunes)
4) You can now annotate by selecting the text in the book (in either Mavericks or iOS) and these changes push via iCloud provided this is all setup normally. In iBooks on Mavericks, you may need to Authorise the computer.
5) Then to annotate In iOS, highlight the text, the popup menu gives the option to add notes.
Hope this helps

HT204365 Why did all my PDF files disappear from ibooks on my iPad

All of my PDF files disappeared from iBooks on my iPad. Where and why did they suddenly disappear? How can I retrieve them?

As far as I can work out, from incomplete downloads, ticks denote all downloaded ok.
The manually manage option is for those who want to tailor their library collections in Music and Video to specific items. If you have this ticked, then it will sync with the sync selections in your devices pages (eg, Music, videos).
If you want to sync all of your collection 'all' the time, leave manually manage off and put the a tick in the devices' page to sync all items Dependent on iCloud use, and or automatic download options in iTunes, new purchased items are added and synced automatically as they are added - this only applies to Store purchased items.
If you are going to added content outside of the Store, then Manually Manage is the option to take for Music and Videos - it does not affect anything else. IE Apps or podcasts, etc.
If you have manually manage off, and 'selected playlist' option ticked, then it will sync existing ticked items, but new items downloaded will require you tick them (a) after the next iTunes automatic download when it connects to the store and downloads any items, or (b) you download to a device and then sync the device, in which case it transfers the new download to your library - but, as happened to you, deletes it from your idevice.
Retcicking and resyncing will add the item back on next sync.
Don't forget that whenever making any kind of manual change to hit Apply and resync, to stop changes being lost.
However, and i cannot stress this enough, iTunes is very problematic, especially when handling large collections. Its sync operations can be erratic or non-functional at times (even buggy perhaps)
If all options fail, then go to your program installation control folder (Control panel\Programs etc on windows) and select to repair iTunes.
And if you have not already got it

IBook highlight and dictionary tabs disappeared how to bring them back?, iBook highlight and dictionary tabs disappeared how to bring them back?

Suddenly found out that after I upgrade to iOS 6, my highlight and dictionary functions are gone! Now all I can find is only speak function, how to bring these highlight and dictionary tabs back to life? These two functions are of great help to me while using my iBook app. Thanks in advance!!
Kevin

Okay, I got the problems patially fixed now!
Just searched the technic support web site and found troubl shootings, I took one the those suggestions: "power off and reboot" my device (which is my iPad 2) and after the procedure, the iBooks highlights and note, define founction works again. However, the speak function now can't work!!!
There are bugs!!! Apple, please help got rid of those annoying bugs ASAP!! It used to work perfectly in the previous versions of iBooks, my pleasant experience of using iPad 2 are being ruined, very sad!!!
I'd like to have speak function back with all the "copy, define, highlight, note, search, and share" functions all work seamlessly. just my simple wish!
And by the way, in the speak function, it is so stupid to ask user to select English or Chinese when I am in an pure Eglish book, can't iBooks recognize the words or sentance I've select are all English??? The iBooks 3.0.1 interface needs to be greatly improved! Don't let me down, Apple!!!

Is there a way to copy all my PDfs in ibooks on my iPad?

Because I'm still sorting out an issue with ibooks on the iMac renaming files so they do not match the names on my iPad, I am wondering if there is a way to copy all the pdfs I have in ibooks on my ipad (without doing each one, one at a time) so I can save a copy in Evernote or dropbox so when I sync and update shortly, I don't loose what I have?
Thanks for any help you can offer.
Michelle

Thank you.Ok say for e.g.
500 video files imported in fcpx
800 clips extracted from these obviously on the timeline and joined/compounded according to their content in say 15 layers according to 15 instruments used ,so now just to see the entire usable footage ....
now one 7 minute song sequence has to be made where bits would be simultaneously taken from these 15 layers as all instruments are playing simultaneously
these shots are not more than 2 secs each according to the beat........
when I try to work with these 15 layers as well as the Final primary layer that I'm making in the same timeline my fcpx becomes slow
but when I drag individual layer to individual timelines it is fine so that is the only option
but now for every 2 second bit I have to go back to the 15 layered timeline and find one single suitable shot
So I was wondering is there a way to be able to see these layers and clips on the timeline in the browser in a systematic fashion like the way we get with keywords ?
and keywords can only be used in the imported clips already in the browser ,and not after we drag it on the timeline.....
Till now I think exporting and importing back is the only option ...but is there another work around ?

When trying to load multiple language versions of an ibook onto my iPad only the first document loads

We have a sales tool that we have created for one of our clients in iBooks Author. They need the iBook creating in various languages.
We need to be able to supply the multiple versions of the same document (in the different languages) to our client and they need to be able to install the different versions onto their iPads. And they want the options of having multiple language versions on the same iPads.
We have already created two language versions of the document (a US English and an International English version).
The two documents have different file names, (although they are based on the same document). We have just changed the spelling of some words accordingly. (And we will be producing other language variants based on the master file).
We export the two documents via the File > Export > iBooks option. Then we are using Dropbox to upload the two files. The files are then accessed via the Dropbox App on the iPad.
We can download the first document (International English) onto the iPad and view it as normal, but when we try and then download the other document (US English) it downloads in the Dropbox App, but when you click on view in iBooks it opens the first (International English) document into iBooks.
You can only appear to have one version of the document installed at any one time. If you delete the first one you can then load the second one fine, but not both at the same time. If the file names are different it must be getting the identity of the document from somewhere else.
This has only started happening since using iBooks Author 2.
Can anyone offer any suggestions please. I've tried changing the version number in the option on export, but this doesn't seem to affect the result.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions
John

Further to my earlier post we have now completed a test by saving our original document as a template, then creating a new document from the template, making necessary changes and saving as a new file. We can now upload the two separate versions to our iPad.
You cannot "duplicate" the file in any way, either by the File > Duplicate method from within iBooks Author or by simply Duplicating the original .iba file in the Finder, as this will cause the problem outlined above. By Duplicating you are obviously also duplicating this "hidden metadata" which is stored somewhere within the file which iBooks on the iPad is using to identify the documents. So unless Apple update the software to allow us to change that metadata we are stuck to using the Templates route. (Didn't have this problem on the last version of iBooks Author).
This works for what we are trying to do, which is create different language variants of the same book.
Working from Templates is probably the correct way to do it anyway, but might not necessarily be right for everyone.
Working in iBooks Author is proving to be a rather testing experience. You certainly need the patience of a Saint. Not sure it's of the standard we expect from Apple, but then I guess, as they are giving it away "free", they think they don't have to offer any support for it.
I think I would prefer to pay a fee for it and have a support route from Apple, rather than rely on a community of equally frustrated users who are all playing guinea pig and simply sharing their workarounds for a half baked product.
Good luck to everyone!!!

How to transfer iBooks from one iPad account to another.

I am a teacher who will be taking on a new role at the school. The school is going to give me an iPad with all the literature books the students will be reading. These books were purchased through iBooks. I already have an iPad and was curious if there was a way to transfer the books on their iPad, which were purchased through iBooks, to my iPad.
Thanks in advance.

You can restore the new iPad using an iCloud or iTunes back up (assuming you have all of those apps backed up), or simply redownload them from the App store or sync via itunes.

I have multiple phantom books in ibooks on my iPad.They are no longer on my mac, but continue to show up as multiple ghost- unfinished downloads on iPad

I have multiple copies of phantom books in ibooks on my ipad. By phantom I mean, that they appear to be partially downloaded. They will not resume downloading or allow deletion. None of these books are on my mac, they have been deleted. These are books were not purched from the apple store, they are simply book files that I had on my mac. Any ideas on how to rid myself of these pesky epub and pdf files? Thanks Dan

Hello dallentownsend
Try deleting iBooks app from your iPad and then download the app again to remove any previous books that were downloaded or attempted to download. Then just download your books purchased again.

When I try to buy ibooks from my ipad, the virtual keyboard is not the same as my computer, and so as my password consists of numbers, letters and symbols my ipad keeps showing that my password is incorrect! Is there any way around this problem please?

Are you using the virtual keyboard to input your password and you cannot see/find the characters you need on that keyboard?
Or are you trying to use a bluetooth keyboard and pressing the printed key does not produce the right character?

.pdf files in iBooks on my iPad don't show in iBooks on my iMac. Why?

when i installed iBooks on my iMac, only my purchased books show in the library. PDF files I stored in iBooks on my iPad are not showing. Any ideas how I sync the pdf files? They use a common Apple ID and I use iCloud for the iPad backup.

Did you try using the transfer purchase feature of iTunes? I know that these may not be purchased PDF files, and it is only supposed to work with iTunes purchases, but I have done this myself with PDF files in iBooks.
iTunes Store: Transfer purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
This feature works only for audio, video, and apps that you purchased from the iTunes Store. Any items that you imported from audio CDs or acquired from other sources won't copy from your device to the iTunes library. However, copies of all PDFs and books from your device's iBooks app will transfer to the computer, regardless of whether they were purchased from the iBooks Store.

Sync my existing iPad to new iMac

Hi, I have just bought a new iMac computer which i have just tried to sync with my existing iPad. I used to sync this iPad with my old laptop and when I now try to sync with the new iMac it says it will wipe all the date and replace with (not a lot) on my iMac! I don't want to wipe whats on the iPad (photos).
Also on my iTunes on my old laptop I have lots of music from old CD's that I downloaded. How do I get these onto my iMac????? The only ones on my iMac are the ones I paid for on iTunes! They are however on my iPad so can i somehow transfer them from that onto my iMac?

Mike has answered half your question and the rest is implied. As he said, Migration Assistant will transfer your data (and applications if you wish) to the new computer. Note: Migration Assistant migrates the entire account, not just data so assuming you've started up your new computer and begun using it, after you've run MA you'll have two accounts - the old one from your previous computer and the one you've been using on your new computer. For this reason it is sometimes more convenient to grab any new files you've created on the new computer and put them on a flash drive and then erase the new computer and reinstall the OS so you can use Setup Assistant to recreate your old account on the new computer. (You'll have to restart in Recovery Mode to do this. See Mike's link above.
Having moved your data from the old computer to the new one you can sync your iPad and everything that was on it will still be on it.

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)

I accidentally set up my new ipad in itunes under the name of my existing ipad and need to set it up as a new device. Help. I cannot find a way to start fresh.

That's probably not a good idea to try to share apps since you will have to switch ID's each time you update apps and sync apps from iTunes.
And technically - according to Apple's terms - you cannot share apps using different ID's. You can actually lock yourself out of an ID for 90 days if you switch ID's and if you associate the iPad with another ID.
The bold type is a copy and paste from the site that I referenced below.
When you turn on iTunes Match or Automatic Downloads, or when you download past purchases on an iOS device or computer, that device or computer becomes associated with your Apple ID. This article describes how to manage these associations.
