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.

  • Photos not syncing between Mac and iPhone since update to Photos on Mac.

    Ever since I updated to Photos on my Late 2013 macbook pro retina, photos are not syncing between it and my iPhone 6. Both are updated to the most recent software update. Photo stream is on. Does anyone have this problem or know a solution?

    You will have to go the the Photos tab in iTunes when you connect the iPhone.  Then reset the photo sync options.  They were reset with the upgrade to use iCloud by default, but you can change the settings back to sync folders, just like before.

  • IMessage not syncing between MacBook and iPhone

    Normally, my MacBook Pro (OSX 10.4.9 w/ standard hardware) and my iPhone (iPhone 5 running iOS 7.1.2) sync iMessages perfectly. Recently, I turned my MacBook off for the weekend and was messaging solely through my iPhone. When I turned my MacBook on again and launched iMessage, I noticed that the conversations were not synced between the computer and phone.
    I've already tried the fix suggested here, and I got the notification, but the conversations didn't update.
    All messages sent since the MacBook was turned on again have synced between both the phone and computer, but messages sent during the weekend only appear on my phone (the device used to send them). Any suggestions?

    Hi,
    You are leaving conversation "open" (still displayed) in Messages when you Quit ?
    If you closed off all the chats and conversations in Messages you will need to re-connect to the people involved for the app to then display the previous part of the conversation.

  • HT204053 calanders do not sync between ipad and iphone

    I have my wife's hand me down 1st generation Ipad with 4G and a 4Gs iphone but my calanders do not sync between the phone and the ipad.
    My PC has icloud installed and turned on and my ipad  and iphone have the cloud turned on.
    All three pieces have current software.

    If you mean photo stream, go to Settings>iCloud on both devices and sign into iCloud account with the same Apple ID, then turn photo stream to On.  After that, new photos added to the camera roll will be uploaded to photo stream when the camera app is closed, it is connected to wifi and has at least 20% battery life remaining.  They will appear on your other device in the my photo stream album.

  • Messages not syncing between Yosemite and iPad

    I've noticed that messages I send on my iPad seldom appear within messages on my Mac (Yosemite).    Or else they show up like a day or two later but it's not consistent.   Does anybody know how to get them to sync?
    Also, I forgot to mention that the reverse is true, too, but less so.  Very inconsistent syncing.

  • Notes not syncing between outlook and itunes

    Itunes (12.1.1.4) is not syncing my notes correctly between outlook and my iphone.
    new notes transfer, but changes are not working.
    I have one note that if I changed it in outlook, it kept revertting to whatever was on my iphone
    Then another one, any changes made in the phone, will revert to what was saved in outlook.
    This does not happen consistently (not with all notes) but I can get it to repeatedly happen.
    Also, If I make changes to the same note in both places and then sync, the sync procedure used to give mt he option to pick the one I wanted.  That is no longer happening either.
    I am using outlook 365, current version.
    And, I'm using an iphone 5 with 8.1.2 os

    On your Mac open System Preferences > iCloud
    Deselect Notes then reselect it.
    On your iOS devices, tap Settings > iCloud
    Switch Notes off then back on.
    Give iCloud a few minutes to re sync the data.

  • Documents not syncing between iPhone and iPad

    I am encountering the most strange difficulty with iCloud, particularly Documents in the Cloud and the syncing of Numbers and Pages documents between iPad and iPhone. I do not use Keynote.
    I will try and describe the problem in as much detail as possible and explain everything I have tried to do.
    My goal is for documents I create on iPad to sync to iPhone, and vice versa, with changes appearing on both, and on iCloud.com. To clarify I'm not involving the Mac in anyway, I am aware this is a current limitation of Documents in the Cloud. Unless I'm missing something, what I want to do is what is advertised.
    - I am running the latest version of iOS on both iPad and iPhone.
    - I have the latest versions of Keynote and Pages on both.
    - I am logged in to iCloud on both iPad and iPhone with the same account
    - iCloud is working fine for all other purposes (Bookmark sync, PhotoStream etc)
    - Documents and Data is switched on, as is the option for Using Cellular Data
    - Use iCloud is set to ON under Pages and Keynote preferences
    - The arrow indicating a cloud document is on every document on both iPad and iPhone's icon, in the top right of each icon
    - In iCloud -> Storage & Backup -> Manage Storage -> Documents & Data -> Numbers it displays all the expected documents.
    The current behaviour appears to be that I create a document on either device, and the document is PARTIALLY uploaded to iCloud. That is, it appears on iCloud.com under iWork, but when I click on any file it either says "Upload failed" or "Waiting" for each file.
    If I try and delete a document on iWork.com, it crashes the web app and does not delete the documents.
    Things I have tried to resolve:
    - Uninstalling and reinstalling Numbers and Pages on both devices
    - Soft resetting both devices
    - Disabling and re enabling Documents in the Cloud on both devices
    - Disabling and re enabling iCloud toggle in the individual app preferences on both devices
    - Deleting and readding iCloud account on both devices
    - A full restore then restoring from iCloud backup on both devices (yes, I actually did that)
    - A combination of the above in various sequence orders, none of which made any difference
    More information... one solution on the web pointed to the problem involving a duplicate account which could be deleted from the Mail settings, however I only have one configured account - my iCloud account. Just in case it matters, my iCloud email is an @mac.com address.
    I think I have covered everything. Any help would be appreciated since Apple themselves seemed pretty stumped on the phone, suggesting another restore, or setting the phone and iPad up as brand new devices. I'd really rather not until I've exhausted every possible outcome.
    Any help massively appreciated!!!

    How did you get this fixed? I have the same issue!!

  • Hotmail not syncing between MacBook and iPhone/iPad

    I'm 3 days into my new MacBook Pro, which replaced a PC laptop running Outlook.  With my old system, I coud check my Hotmail account in Outlook, and the messages would no longer be marked as new on my iPhone/iPad, and vice versa.  With the MacBook, my iCloud email syncs well between all three devices.  My Hotmail remains in sync between my iPhone & iPad, but not on my MacBook.  Is there any way to fix this?

    No, Hotmail can only be accessed via POP3 on your Mac. Pop accounts do not synchronize. Microsoft provide Active Sync services on a mobile device but chose not to for Macs.

  • IMessage not syncing between mac and iphone

    I recently upgraded to Mavericks (10.9.3) and iMessages no longer sync between my iPhone and my Mac Pro.  I've checked the Support data base as well as Google and have followed the recommendations to check preferences on all devices and to restart all devices, but that doesn't seem to have solved the problem.  Messages being sent from my iPhone 4S simply don't show up on my Mac.  Can anyone provide assistance/ideas??

    Associate your mobile number with your Apple ID, if you haven't already done so.
    Sign out of iMessage on the Mac:
    Messages ▹ Preferences ▹ Accounts ▹ Sign out
    and on the iPhone:
    Settings ▹ Messages ▹ Send & Receive ▹ Apple ID ▹ Sign out
    Then, on the phone, tap
    Use Your Apple ID for iMessage
    Sign back into iMessage on both devices and test. If there's no change, you may have to wait for a change in network conditions.

  • Why won't Notes sync between iPad and iPhone?

    I own an iPad and iPhone and use MobileMe. My contacts, calendar, mail and iDisk all sync properly but I can't get Notes to work.
    On my iPhone Notes, I have the option of selecting the following accounts:
    From my PC
    MobileMe
    My 3 different email addresses
    I have placed my notes under both "From my PC" and "MobileMe."
    My iPad doesn't even give me the option to select the various accounts in the same way the iPhone does.
    Any help is greatly appreciated. I couldn't find any other topics that are having problems similar to mine.

    I purchased my ipad at a Apple store and the salesman sold me the mobileme convincing me that everything including Notes would sync in the clouds! I still cant understand why we're paying for something that doesn't yet work. This is unacceptable. I just want my NOTES to seamlessly sync between my iphone, ipad and mobileme just like everybody else. Is this too much to ask or expect? Besides, isnt what thousands of paying mobileme subscribers expect.
    I want my NOTES to be identical on all platforms and not have to check my mail accounts. As far as my Notes taken with my Ipad, they don't sync anywhere and spent endless hours trying to figure it out only to find out that the sync feature is not yet available for the Notes on my ipad. Thanks Apple! You succeeded to mislead me and taking my money in advance. How long do we have to wait for this to be resolved? We have the right to get a truthful answer and don't appreciate being fooled.

  • My calendar is not syncing between iphone and Mac air on iCloud.

    Hi
    The calendar entries I am adding either on my iphone or mac air via icloud are not syncying between the devices. Is anyone else having this problem currently? If yes, how can it be resolved. I have deleted the account and added it back in but to no avail.
    Thanks

    Are all the devices set to actually sync calendar entries to iCloud?  If any of them are set to sync with some other service (gMail, Yahoo, Hotmail, etc.) while some of them are set to use iCloud then they can not sync.  Or if they are set to iCloud but only set to sync say contact and bookmarks then they will not sync.  They all have to be set to iCloud and they all have to have the calendar option selected.

  • Notes not syncing between iPhone and iMac

    Syncing notes from my iphone to imac no longer works. I have all the right things checked in info (in itunes) and in my mail. I have talked to the experts at Apple support, and taken the iphone and imac into the apple store.  After trying lost of stuff (iSync, other settings, etc, new admin a account), it worked. Once. It worked at the store, but no longer works at home. I can get the notes to sync if I sign out of my admin account and sign back in, but I don't like doing that every time. I don't know why it worked just fine for awhile and then quit. Maybe after the last update.  Is it something to do with my POP account - comcast?  Does anyone have the same problem? An answer?

    I have a MacBook (OS X 10.9.3) an iPhone 5 (iOS 7.1.1) and an IMAP account (mail and notes boxes are checked on MacBook). On my iPhone the default account for Notes is set on IMAP. I am syncing via iTunes 11.2.1. It works for Calendar and Contacts but it does not sync Notes. I guess a made an error somewhere.
    Could someone  hep me? Thank you by advance.
