IBooks Dont Sync

Hi
Is iBooks suppose to sync over the cloud for my iOS & Mac Devices or only when connected to iTunes ?
if i buy books from the store i see them at all devices but if i buy just a epub file and drag it to iBooks in
my Mac it doesbt show in iOS Devices ?? same if i open a pdf file in iBooks in an iOS Device it doesnt show
either on Mac or other iOS devices although all sync setting is chosen in all devices, so what Im missing ?
Kindest Regards

Only ibooks that you buy from iTunes can be redownloaded onto your different devices/computers, you can't do it with epubs nor PDFs.
The 'sync collections' setting doesn't copy items between devices/computers, all it does is if you have a PDF/book already on multiple devices/computers and you move it into a collection on one of them then it will also be moved into the same collection on the other devices/computers - but you need to actually copy/sync it yourself onto each device/computer that you want it on.

  • My ical calanders dont sync on iphone and ipad

    my ical calanders dont sync between my iphone, ipad, and imac computer. I back them up to the cloud.

    First lets establish that you have calendars enabled on your iPhone and iPad.
    Go to Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Select the account of which you are using calendars with (iCloud, Gmail, Etc)>Enable
    Now on your iMac, go to Calendars, and ensure that you are creating/syncing calendars with the same account(s) you are using on your iOS devices.

  • HT1351 Why do I have ! next to some of my songs and they dont sync?

    Why do I have ! next to some of my songs and they dont sync?

    I am not an expert but here's my two cents:
    The exclamation point means itunes cannot find the music file in order to play it. There are several possible reasons for this, including but not limited to changing the name or location of your music library/songs, or storing them on an external hard drive or device that is not currently attached. The solutions for these are different so let me know if any of these apply and we can troubleshoot.

  • Icloud sent items dont sync

    hi
    icloud sent items dont sync between ipad, iphone and Mac if i send with one device it doesnt show in the other device sent items
    but inbox works properly why ?

    Huh...? But that's exactly the problem! I have added my iCloud account in Outlook (via the iCloud Control Panel), and there is a "Sent" folder under this account in Outlook. Should the contents of this folder not match the same folder on icloud.com / iPhone / Mail on my MacBook / etc...? Because it doesn't.
    If I send an email from my iCloud account in Outlook, it does not appear in the Sent folder anywhere else and vice versa.
    PS: I checked the account settings, and it is set up for IMAP.

  • HT1296 icalendar events dont sync to outlook

    Sometimes my iphone calendar events dont sync to outlook. Is there a special way to get this to happen?

    Just so long as it is selected in iTunes. Occasionally there are problems with corrupt appointments in the calendar. You can try by going to Edit, Preferences, Devices and reset sync history. You can also run scanpst.exe on your Outlook file, which can assist in repairing any bad files in Outlook.

  • IBooks not syncing between iOS7 and Maverick

    iBooks not syncing between iOS7 and Maverick
    Just updated my MBP to Mavericks and only a few items have synced from my phone to the mac in iBooks.  The phone was also updated to iOS7.0.3 (the latest) today too before the Mavericks update.
    Does anyone else have this problem?  Is this a bug which will hopefully be fixed shortly? Or is there something I can do to resolve this?
    I have a number of .pdf´s in iBooks (.pdf books) on the phone and would obviously want everything on the phone accessible on the computer, as is the idea.
    Many thanks for your help/advice.
    Susan :S

    This has been my headache since day one and a complete swing and a miss by Apple.  I haven't been able to get ANYTHING I have not explicitely purchased from iTunes to sync in iBooks across device.
    For example:  If I load an ePub or PDF into iTunes and "manually" add to a device, this works just fine.
    However, if I open a PDF file on my iPhone into iBooks, it doesn't show up in any of my other devices, including the new iBooks on my iMac with Maverick.  it doesn't matter which device it's added, nothing syncs if it's not purchased from iTunes.
    Please, someone make me a liar and tell me I've completely missed something.
    Apple:  Why or why can't I add PDF files to iBooks on my iMac and have them automagically show up in the collection I created on all my devices?  Because I didn't purchase them from you, you say?  Stupid, stupid, stupid.
    Then don't let me add it in the first place and stop advertising "my content anywhere on any device" because this has been broken from day one.

  • IPhone adressbook dont sync with MacPro via iTunes. someone could help?

    My iPhone adressbook dont sync with MacPro via iTunes. someone could help?

    How you do it depends on whether you are using iCloud or not.
    If NOT, go to the info page in iTunes and make sure Address Book sync is enabled.
    If you do use iCloud, make sure your ID is defined under System Prefs > iCloud in the Mac and under Settings > iCloud on the phone.  When you use iCloud, you do NOT want to also sync the Address Book on the Info page in iTunes.

  • How can I keep iTunes on my PowerMac and my iBook in sync?

    Hi...
    When I'm on the road with my iBook, sometimes I import a new CD to the Library and sometimes I change the playlists arround... Now I want to efficiently Sync the Changes to my PowerMac at home. This way I have a backup and also all my music and playlists when i work at my PowerMac at home.
    Just Syncing the music files wont do because the playlists and the library aren't updtated. Is there a piece of software that will accomplish this task for me? (I assume there is one since it seems to me as if this is a common problem) I'm thinking of somtething like connecting both Machines to a Local Network, pushing a button to let them sync and -> done.
    Also, as suggested in other threads, I cannot use an iPod as "transfer agent" because the nano just hasn't got enough space for all my music...
    BTW... why isn't this just a feature of iTunes... MacOS X lets me sync a lot of things with a lot of devices... why not iTunes Music Files... They could make it in a way that only iTunes which have the same Music Store Authorization can synch... or somethin like that...

    I came on here today with the same questions! hope someone answers...
    I also have been trying to back up my music on an external HD, but it doesn't copy the Purchased (from Apple) music into it, but keeps it on my main computer. I have to manually copy them out into a seperate folder to get them on both the external HD and my powerbook. I seem to be doing a lot of extra steps here and I hope there is something easier...

  • Maverick iBooks - Probs syncing PDF's from iPad to MacBook

    I've installed Maverick on my MacBook Pro - fine. Loving that iBooks is now on my Mac, as I'm a student and could do with the downloaded PDFs from class, otherwise on my mini iPad, to also be available on the Mac. However, the PDFs in question don't show on the macbook new iBooks! I see the collection-titles I created on the iPad, but they are all empty. Well, with one exception: a novel that I bought via the Store, that one shows.
    So, how can I get all files to sync between my mini iPad to my Mac's iBooks?
    Thanks
    Sara

    PDFs and PDF Collections do NOT sync within the iBooks ecosystem.
    Your Collection "schema" will - but the PDFs wont.  Apple is not going to fix this.
    You are far better off using DropBox and GoodReader or any number of 3rd party applications.  Create a "PDF Library" folder within Dropbox and use goodreader to access it on IOS.   The same folder (and pdfs) are then available to any computing platform - even over the web if you are using somebody else's computer.
    No itunes, no kludgy work-arounds.  Just a peaceful easy user-experience.  Not delivered by Apple Inc.
    To be clear, PDFs specifically within iBooks will not "synchronize across devices or platforms"
    The PDFs you put/have on your MacBook Air (maverick) will only be on your macbook air
    The PDFs you put/have on your iMac (maverick) will only ever be on your iMac
    The PDFs you put/have on your iOS device will only every be on your IOS device
    The books you buy from the Ibooks store, will of course, be available across devices & platforms.
    There is no comprehensive "icloud/ibooks file synchronization"  never has been, most likely never will be.
    Cheers.

  • Why won't a ebook that I created in ibook author sync in I tunes?

    I have created an ibook using ibooks author and have used the preview option to load it onto my ipad.  Unfortunately it does not show up in my itunes when I go to sync it so it never syncs with  itunes.  This is a problem because I would like to give the preview book to my students but when the ipad updated to ios 6, all off the books went away.  Has anyone ran into this problem or have a solution for me?

    iBooks are a hybrid between an E-book and an app, in my opinion, especially if you use a lot of clever HTML widgets. If you have a publication with chapters and sections that users read sequentially or refer to it as a guide, you can create an ibook. Otherwise, your project falls in the app category. Just a quick rule of thumb for me when I'm presented with an iOS project.
