IBOOKS purchases on multiple devices

I did a search here for this question and saw several incorrect responses. I bought 2 books on my IPAD and then re-downloaded them on my IPHONE 4. Come to find out in the IBOOKS FAQ on the Apple support site I didn't need to do this. All I needed to do was sync my IPAD then sync my IPHINE 4. Both are under 1 account in ITUNES. Below is the response I found on the IBOOKS FAQ:
"Books downloaded from the iBookstore can be placed on up to five computers you own that you’ve authorized with your iTunes Store account. You can sync your books to all iPads, iPhones, and iPod touches you own.1 Audiobooks, PDF files, and ePub files you've added to iTunes will appear in Books under Library. To sync Books to your device, connect it to your computer using the cable it came with. In iTunes, select your device then click the Books tab. Choose the books you would like to read on your device then press Sync. Books will sync to iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch even if iBooks is not installed; to read synced books, download iBooks from the App Store."
Hope this helps.

  • Is there any way that I can share an in-app purchase over multiple devices even if they are under the same iTunes account?

    So there are several iOS devices in my family and on one of our iPads we have purchased an in-app purchase. I also have the same app on another iPad and would like to also have access to that in-app purchase. Both of these devices are under the same iTunes account so is there a way to share this in-app purchase across multiple devices?

    You can check here  >  iTunes Store: About In-App Purchases
    But I don't think this is possible.

  • Ibooks purchases syncing between devices

    My iBooks is not synching properly between devices - this is a recent problem.  When I make an iBooks purchase on my iPhone - the book will not download onto my iPad and vice versa.  I checked my iBooks settings and the 'sync bookmarks' and 'sync collections' is both turned on.  I also have removed the iBooks on my iphone and then downloaded again and the recent purchases are still 'downloading' and are grayed out. 

    I have a quick update.  I spent hours upon hours on this and i figured out that iTunes is the central management peice of the puzzle.  I have a windows 7 laptop and I have an ipad 3 and an iphone 4 and iphone 5.  All are set to sync iBooks.  In iTunes, the devices have sync options for music and other items such as iBooks.  If you enable ibooks synchying for each device then it will synch all pdfs and books as long as the documents exist in itunes ibooks library  i found that individual devices can edit names of pdfs but that change is not reflected on other devices. so i made all my pdf docs "properties" changes in itunes library, then deleted all ibooks from my ipad and iphones, then synched all over again! that solved my problem.
    make sure "synch all ibooks" is checked in itunes synch options per device.
    this is annoying because i should not need my pc or itunes to synch ibooks pdf files as well as changes across all devices.  i want to eliminate the need for my pc but the cloud isnt as sophisticated as i assumed...

  • Like apps, can you use an in app purchase on multiple devices?

    Hi,
    I was wondering if someone can help me with regards to in app purchases. I currently know that should I purchase an app, I can install and use it on multiple devices (iPads, iPods etc)
    I would simply log into my account on the multiple devices, and download the app onto the device, simple! I would also only be charged once, a copy would just be downloaded onto the devices.
    What I want to know is, is it the same for in app purchases? Can I make a purchase once, and have the additions reflected on every device I have, or do I have to make the same in app purchase several times on the different devices, and as a result be charged again for each device I want it on?
    Thanks
    Ben

  • ITunes movie purchase on multiple devices?

    I did a quick search and did not find what I was looking for.
    I'm thinking about purchasing movies from iTunes and before I do, I was wondering what the policy was for transferring the movies to multiple devices? Can I transfer them to my iPhone and my iPod nano?
    I know for rentals it is only 1 device at a time. Is movie purchase the same? Thanks.

    Purchase is different. You can have the purchased movie on any of your (up to 5) authorized computers and any of your compatible iPods/iPhones. I often have movies or television shows synced to both my Touch and my 3rd gen Nano as I tend to have one with me at certain times and the other at other times.

  • Purchases from multiple devices

    Our family has 2 i-phones, an i-pad, an i-mac, and 2 touches.  We use the same Apple account.  We currently have a positve balance on our i-tunes account.Some purchases are deducted from this account while others are put on my credit card.  What have i done wrong?

    It seems there is some strange logic behind the billing.
    Probably (I'm not sure) the iTunes Card doesn't have priority on the credit card payment and in result there is a mixed payment situation (some payments via iTunes card and some payments via credit card).
    Maybe there is a logic like "Music is payed with iTunes card, App & Movies with Credit Card).
    Personally I will find it annoying but, if somehow the positive balance will be consumed, you don't have to worry.

  • HT204053 Does the additional I cloud storage cover multiple devices or just 1?

    DDoes the additional i cloud storage when purchased covers multiple devices under the same Apple ID account?

    iCloud is by Apple ID. I have 3 devices on the same Apple ID account.

  • One family id but multiple devices

    We have a single Apple ID for our family and share our app and music purchases across multiple devices (3 iPhones, 2 Macbooks and and iPad).  How do we set up iCloud so we continue to share these purchases but only share calendar/mail/docs/photos between devices that primarily belong on one person (for example, I want my photos to be on my Macbook and iPhone but not on my wife's iPhone and iPad)?
    Thanks.

    For photos use smart folders in iPhoto and only sync the folders in iTunes to each device that you want on that device.
    For calendars, sync all of them, but only choose to show on each device the ones you care about on that device.
    For mail, sync the iCloud mail if you want it on a device, don't if you do not.
    Not sure about docs...

  • We have multiple users, each with multiple devices, on 1 apple id - as we want to share music and ibooks etc.  We want the children to have access to the store, but with a financial limit. How do we do this?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    That's simply not possible I'm afraid. You'd need to give them their own account and allowance or make it so you are required to be there to input the password when they wish to make a purchase.

  • I have one apple ID for multiple devices in my family.  I'd like to keep it that way for itunes/app purchases.  I would like a simple step 1, step 2, step 3 response on what I need to do to separate all other features like imessage, contacts, emails, etc.

    I have one apple ID for multiple devices in my family.  I'd like to keep it that way for itunes/app purchases.  I would like a simple step 1, step 2, step 3 response on what I need to do to separate all other features like imessage, contacts, emails, etc.
    I have been reasearching how to do this on the internet, but I haven't found an easy explanation yet.  My family is going crazy over each others imessages being sent to others in the family and not being able to use FaceTime because of conflicting email addresses.  I have read that if each person gets their own iCloud account, this would work.  However, I need to know what to do after I set everyone up with their own iCloud account.  Do I make that the default email address to be contacted or can they still use their hotmail email addresses.  Any help- with easy explanation- would be much appreciated!!

    We do this in my family now.  We have one account for purchases, so it is used to share music and apps (I think that is in Settings/iTunes & App Stores).  Each iDevice has this configured.
    Then, each of us has our own iCloud account that is configured under Settings/iCloud.  That then allows us to have our own Mail/Contacts/Calendars/Reminders/Safari Bookmarks/Notes/Passbook/Photo Stream/Documents & Data/Find My iPhone/and Backup.  That Backup piece is pretty sweet and comes in handly if you replace your iDevice.  You can just restore from it.
    So we all share the Apple Store account but we all have our own iCloud accounts to keep the rest seperate or things like you mentioned are a nightmare.
    In answer to what iCloud does for you: http://www.apple.com/icloud/features/
    Think of it as an internet based ("cloud") area for all of those items listed in my response.  What you need to remember is photo stream only maintans the last 1000 pictures so don't count it as a complete backup solution for your pictures.  Even though I rarely sync with a computer these days, I do still try to sync my phone with iPhoto (I have an iMac) so that I have copies of all of my pictures.  1000 may not stretch as far as it sounds.

  • How to dissociate an iOS device from iTunes / iBooks purchase account

    I want to pass my iPhone 4S to a neighbor's child after wiping my data from it.   However, I have read in the tech press that this process does not dissociate one's iTunes / iBooks account from the device.  I want to ensure that the device cannot be used to access my account purchases.  How do I do that?  I presume it has to be done before I wipe the device.  I cannot find this info in the knowledge base documents (so far).

    You can log out of an account by tapping on the id in Settings > iTunes & App Store
    Also turn 'off' (assuming that it's 'on') Settings > iCloud > Find My iPhone, and log out of your account from iCloud : Settings > iCloud > Delete Account
    If the phone is associated to your account then you might be able to remove it via your computer's iTunes : iTunes Store: Associating a device or computer to your Apple ID (or you can do it directly on the phone logging out of the account by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store, tapping on 'View Apple id' on the popup and logging  in, and there might, if the phone is associated to your account, be a 'remove this device' button). If the phone has been associated to your account for less than 90 days then you won't be able to remove it.
    Also remove the phone from your support profile if it's registered to it : https://supportprofile.apple.com/
    And, if you are on a contract, you've contacted your phone carrier to cancel it ?

  • In-App purchase multiple devices...is there a limit?

    I'm looking to purchase in-app purchases, and I know that Non-replenishable apps can be transferred to multiple devices authorised with the same iTunes Store account. I was just wondering if there is a limit to how many devices these can be transfered to, as we have around 70 devices needing the in-app purchase?

    Hello eagjdw
    You can keep the one Apple ID for purchases and then create another one for a personal account for contacts and calendars. The article below will assist further

  • HT4059 iBooks on multiple devices?

    My wife and I both have iPad 3s We use the same iTunes AC and can share music etc. I have downloaded a book from iBooks to read on my device but can't seem to get it on hers. Other free books seem to appear on both device Any suggestion would be appreciated.

    You should, if they are still in the store, be able to redownload ibooks via the Purchased tab in the iBooks app on your iPad - you can have your ibooks on both your iPad and iPhone (though not all are compatible with iPhones), you are not limited to having am ibook on just one device at a time.
    For epubs and/or PDFs you will need to copy them yourself between your devices, you can't use the cloud to copy them between them. You should be able to copy PDFs and/or epubs (as well as actual ibooks) from your phone to your computer's iTunes library via the File > Devices > Transfer Purchases menu option (and if using a Mac with Mavericks or Yosemite on it then do File > Move Books From iTunes in its iBooks app) and you can then sync them to your iPad by connecting it and using its Books tab.
    There are a couple of settings in Settings > iBooks on your iPad and iPhone. One allows you to keep your ibooks bookmarks and notes in-line between your devices (Sunc Bookmarks And Notes). The second settings (Sync Collections) allows you to keep your collections in-line e.g. if you move a book or epub into a collection on one device then it will also be moved into the same collection on the other device - but that only works if the book/PDF is on the other device, it does not copy a book/PDF onto a device, you have to do the copying yourself.
