IBooks PDF added on my Mac not syncing with my iOS devices.

hi there
I am running 10.9.1 on my MacBook pro, and iOS 7.0.4 on my iPhone 5s, and I have set iBooks to manage the books/etc. If I create a new category on the Mac it appears very quickly on my iPhone but the PDF's never appear.
What am I doing wrong??
any help would be appreciated

Hi!
I had the same problem for weeks. Today I decided to solve this. After try a lot of stuff I got it working. Follow these steps:
1) Sync your iPhone to iTunes using the cable;
2) After sync is complete, on iTunes, click on your iPhone, and after in the tab Books;
3) Un-select the option "Sync Books" (I don't know how it appears in english, since my iTunes is in portuguese). iTunes will inform that will delete all books from yout phone. Make sure you have all of them in you iBooks for Mac or another backup;
4) Sync your iPhone to iTunes using the cable again;
5) After sync is complete, on iTunes, click on your iPhone, and after in the tab Books
6) Mark "Sync Books" again and select "All Books" option.
7) Click the blue "OK" button on the top-right corner;
8) Sync again. After that all your PDF books from iBooks for Mac will appear on you iPhone.
Best regards,
Marco

Any reason why iTunes would not sync with my iOS device using USB cable?

Hi there,
what could be the reason if iTunes won't sync with my iOS 5 devices via USB? The devices are recognized in iTunes (I can see the devices there and all the content stored on these devices), but the sync does not work...
BTW: I tried several different USB cables already...
I am using Mac OS X Lion on a MacBook Pro Late 2011.
Thanks
Ralf

I can't recommend any learning resources, especially since what you are going to be doing likely falls under the category of basic untutorialed coding.
When I decided to take the plunge I had a project in hand that I had just created in AS2, and what I did was restart the project using AS3, tackling each coding element as it came up. One nice thing about AS3 is that it is much better with pointing out coding errors--while cryptic at times, you get better at interpretting them with time--and when you don't get any, chances are you are on the right track. So you try something and if it flies, great, and if an error message pops up, you pursue solving the error.
In most cases, the Flash help documents are a sufficient reference, but in other cases I would rely on Google. Just as a for instance, you mention using key listeners... That would be something I would have serach Google using "AS3 key listener", and I'm willing to bet you'd find something to get you over the hump. Sometimes it helps to add "tutorial" to the end of a search string... it can help weed out all the others that have psotings on forums that are offering problems rather than solutions.

Since update of my MAC my Notes no longer appear on my Mac but are still available through iCloud on my iPhone and iPad. How do I get my MAC to sync with the other devices as e'thing else has synced on my MAC through iCloud.

Since update of my Mac Book Pro my previously drafted Notes no longer appear on my Mac but are still available through iCloud on my iPhone and iPad. How do I get my Mac to sync with the other devices as e'thing else has synced on my MAC through iCloud. Also since the update Notes no longer appear as a folder in "Mail" but are now a distinct programme-is there any way of returning Notes to the Mail programme?

Thanks, but I've been on the phone with AppleCare US (where I am and live) and AppleCare UK. They continue bouncing me back and forth without helping resolve the problem.
Perhaps someones knows how to further escalate the issue at Apple?

My Mac Mini will charge - but not sync with - USB-connected devices (ipod, camera, memory card reader). How do I fix it?

My Mac Mini will charge - but not sync with - USB-connected devices (ipod, camera, memory card reader). I have tried unplugging the devices, restarting the computer, selectively unplugging and plugging in the devices, closing and opening the relevant applications (iTunes, iPhoto, etc). I have tried using different USB cables.
It's like all of a sudden the synching service stopped functioning or recognizing these devices for some reason. The other ports work just fine (monitor).
The only USB-connected external device that appears to be unaffected is the USB SuperDrive and it works on all the USB ports into which I plug it.
How do I fix this?

Open Console in Applications>Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when this happens or doesn't happen.

Mac not syncing with iPhone/iPad

Can someone help me? My Mac is acting up. Over the past 3 days, I have not been able to get my Mac to sync with my iphone or ipad like I have in the past. When I open up my calendar on Mac, it says it cant be refreshed and won't let me do a thing until I force it to quit. I input things on my reminders and notes on my Mac but it won't show up on my other 2 devices. But if I put stuff on my iphone/ipad it will show up on my Mac!? I've tried updating, shutting down, connecting with a USB. I don't know what else to do. I really don't want to have to delete all my stuff because its a lot! Help please!

Text Shortcuts on Mac not syncing with iOS Devices

It appears that my iOS devices are syncing text shortcuts, because when I add/remove one from one device, it's replicated on the other devices.
However, text shortcut changes made on my Mac ( Macbook Air, latest Mavericks version ) are not replicated to the iOS devices, and vice-versa. It's like my iPad and iPhone have decided to share with each other , and ignore my Mac.
I tried deleting the com~apple~Textinput folder, but that did not have any effect. I also tried turning iCloud off and on on my Mac, and that did not help, either.
Ideas on how to fix this?

I figured it out, I turned off Document syncing on all devices, then deleted the ~Library/Mobile Documents/com~apple~TextInput folder instead of the subfolders that I deleted the first time, Then I turned document syncing back on (warning , all text shortcuts are gone! ) on my Mac, and then on my iOS devices.
It took a few minutes for my devices to catchup, but they all went to zero text shortcuts, and I was able to create a new text shortcut on each device and have it replicate to the other devices.
While this fixed my problem, it's a good idea to back up your text shortcuts to another program( evernote? ) in case you need to do what I just did to fix a syncing issue.

My iPad calendar is not syncing with my other devices

My iPad calendar is not syncing with my other devices

I tried again switching off the iclod calendar and switching on again which worked for a day but its back to no longer updating again.
Its a bit of a pain having to switch it off and on again each day but this appaers to be the only solution.
I would be interested in knowing if Apple has tagged this as a potential problem?
I would like to give you credit for helping but can not work out how to do so from within the reply.
If you can let me know I will update this to credit you.

Does iBooks for Mac not sync with iBooks for iOS?

I just created an iBook in iBooks Author, exporting to a created iBooks file, but yet is all pointless, as I cannot seem to share it with anybody - not even with myself! Trying to get it on my iOS device, I'm frustratingly unable to do so.
I am able to open it on my Mac with iBooks, but that's it... I tried to sync it to my iPhone by old school hardwiring it to my Mac to sync, but can't get my iBook even into iTunes in order to have it sync!
What's the whole point of the thing if you can't share what it is you created with anyone?!

yup, I have the same thing, i can't see Book on itunes, when i upgrade 10.9. How should i do to sync ibook,
Please help, many thanks

Mac not synced with iCloud (iPad/iphone)

Nothing is synced with the new install of ML. I've updated apps, made sure i'm signed in icloud but i can't seem to get anything to work.

Also, Pages is fully updated, but when i make a change on my mac, it will not show up on my ipad.
any suggestions? what did i miss?
thanks.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
First check that all your settings are correct, that notes syncing (mail and notes on a computer) is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
Make sure the notes you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud account (you can do this by checking in accounts on an iOS device, or the left side panel in mail on a computer), non iCloud notes will not sync.
If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your notes are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking notes syncing (mail and notes on a computer) in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling notes syncing.

HT4623 reminders not syncing with other apple devices

I am having a problem with reminders in general. I have reminders set on my Iphone, Ipad, and mac but when I add a new one or delete one it does not sync to all of the products. How do i fix this? If I want to update them I have to do manually and make them all the same.

Gamecenter sync with multiple ios-devices

My grandparents have 3 ios-devices: 2 ipads and an iphone. They all use the same apple-id. Grandmother plays a game on her ipad and iphone that syncs with gamecenter. Grandfather has the game on his ipad but its 'empty' since he doesnt play. The iphone keeps on asking to be synced with gamecenter.
My questions:
1. If we sync the iphone, with what game will it sync? The empty one on granddads ipad or the correct one on grandmas ipad?
2. Is it a solution to delete the game from grandpas ipad (and remove it from gamecenter)?
3. Since the iphone hasnt been synced for awhile, there is currently an old version of the game on the iphone. If i delete granddads game from his ipad/gamecenter, how do i know that the iphone will get the version of the ipad and not the other way around?

What is synched in Game Center depends on what the app developers have included. Some are just achievements, some sync game progress, some both among other things.
If they both primarily use one device, why don't you just create a separate Apple ID for Grandpa? They can still share apps rather than buying new one for him by doing this...
Assuming both Grandma and Grandpa have their own Apple IDs and Grandma's was used to purchase apps. Continue to use ONLY the one Apple ID to purchase apps so they can be shared.
Log into both devices in Settings > iTunes and App Stores using Grandma's Apple ID. This will allow all purchased apps to run on both devices.
For Facetime, iCloud, Game Center and Messages, let each of them log in using their own Apple ID. Those are located in...
Settings > Game Center
Settings > Facetime
Settings > Messages
Settings > iCloud

Music from iTunes on MAC not syncing with iPAD2.

I have had an IPAD2 for 18 months and have had no problem synchronising with iTunes until recently.
I'm not if the problem started when I moved from using a PC to a MacBook Pro Retina for iTunes, or when I did the last iOS upgrade on my IPAD.
Here's the issue...
I connect my iPAD to the Mac using the USB cable.
The iPAD is recognised in iTunes and I can select it.
All synchronisation automaticaly works fine (Photos, Apps, Other) except the Music.
I select the Music tab on iTunes and Sync Music is selected.
If I select "Entire music library" or "Selected playlists, artists...", then the blue bar in the Capacity diagram appears to indicate the volume of Music.
I select Apply. The sync process starts.
At the end of the sync process, which does not try to sync the Music, the blue Audio part of the Capacity bar dissapears and I have no Music on my iPAD.
Can anyone help?

OK - I maaged to work it for myself and it is embarrassingly simple....
When I moved from having iTunes on my PC to having it on my MacBook Pro I decided to keep the ITunes library on a network shared storage rather than on one machine.
What had happened is that the shared storage drive had been disconnected from the network. iTunes on my Mac was still listing all the Music and even calculated how much of my iPAD capacity the tracks that I wanted to synchronise would take. But when I tried to synchronise it couldn't find the tracks, so nothing was copied to the iPAD.
Of course it would have been useful for an error message to pop-up stating that the media couldn't be found, but there you go. With the network storage now connected all is working fine again.

Desktop manager for mac not syncing with calendar

Desktop manager just started to give me a sync error yesterday when syncing the calendar. I receive no error message for the contacts. I use desktop manager for mac. I have never had this issue before. I updated desktop manager yesterday after the sync error but, that did not correct the problem.
Any suggestions?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Thanks for the reply yancy.
What error message are you receiving? Are you only synchronizing to Ical or Entourage?
Also have you attempted to forget the device and the re-setup the synchronization?
To forget the device, go into Device>Forget Device. Unplug the BlackBerry, plug it back into the Mac.
I look forward to your reply.

Ipad and mac not syncing with icloud

I am unable to sync my photos and contacts from my ipad with my Mac through icloud. The ipad and mac both have the latest update.

For icloud email on your device, you must have icloud turned on, but also have the Mail app set up to connect to icloud. In Settings>Mail, Contacts,... look in the Mail section under Accounts. You must set up your icloud email account there in order to use the Mail app to read and send emails.
