Kindle syncing/downloading issues (Mac and iPad)

I have a iMac and iPad and both have the Kindle app on them both are egistered devices with my Amazon.co.uk account, I downloaded a free book sample to the Mac and it didn't sync with the iPad when I plugged it in for a general sync.
So I tried downloading it drectly again from Amazon to the iPad bearing in mind it's a 4-5 page sample book it has now taken 20 mins of syncing and still nothing 'in the cloud'?.
Q1: Why did it not sync in the first place when the iPad was doing a general sync?
Q2: what is and average length of time to sync a book to the iPad?
Q3: How do I get this book onto my iPad!?
I'm on OX Mountain Lion and the iPad is about 6 weeks old on version 6.0.1 (10A523)

Syncing doesn't work with the Kindle app, you need to use Amazon's site to send samples to the Kindle app - I don't think that samples will appear in the Cloud tab in the Kindle app, only full books.
To get that sample into the Kindle app on your iPad go back to the book on Amazon's site, and on the right-hand side of that page you should be able to select which device to send the sample to ('Deliver to') - if you then open the Kindle app on your iPad (and it's connected to the internet) then it should download to it (if it doesn't do so automatically then tap the refresh icon, the circular arrow, at the bottom right of the screen). I've just tried it on my iPad, and after tapping the refresh icon a book sample only took a few seconds to appear.

  • How to sync mail on mac and ipad?

    Is there a way to sync all of my mail on both of my devices? It used to work ok but now I'll open mail on my ipad and it shows all the new messages but when I open mail on my mac it only shows what it had before, no new ones. Also works vice versa, I'll get new mail on my mac but not my ipad. Does anyone know how to fix this?

    Using iCloud ??
    On your Mac, open System Preferences > iCloud
    Deselect the box next to Mail then reselect it.
    On your iPad, tap Settings > iCloud
    Switch Mail off then back on.
    Give iCloud a few minutes to re sync your mail.

  • Syncing Firefox across Mac and iPad mini 2

    Hi there,
    I do a *lot* of research and web browsing on my Mac Air with Firefox (google chrome seemed to consistently freeze my macbook air forcing me to hard restart). I currently have 2-3 windows with a good 30 tabs or so open on each. (I know, I know, judge me all you want! haha). I also love my speeddial. In the interest of making my own experience seamless across my ipad and my mac air for productivity purposes, is there a way to replicate my firefox browsing on my ipad, so when i go between devices, I can, for exampl,e have tabs that I'd like to share from my ipad appear in a new window or as a new tab on my macbook? Similarly, can I have my existing firefox speeddial from my mac air be transported to Mercury browser on the ipad?
    Thanks for your help!
    Kevin

    There's no way to do it with firefox because there is no firefox web browser for the iPad.
    As to exporting/importing tabs and bookmarks from firefox to mercury, you'd need to dig into how mercury works to see if they allow or support that.
    You may want to experiment, because I'm not sure if the iPad has the system resources to maintain 30-60 open tabs on any browser

  • Ouldn't sync Ibook between mac and IPad after upgrade to X10.9

    Couldn't sync the ibook after after the OS to X10.9

    hi dan,
    well, from what i've read, it says every time i sync and after it goes over some memory quota, apparently it starts to charge for every sync, etc.
    what do you think?
    and i am thinking OTA refers to "over the air" right? (guessing!)
    thank you!

  • I made a photo book in iPhoto and would like to transfer the book to my iPhoto on other macs and iPad.   How is this done and can it be synced between devices like photo stream.

    You can create a Quicktime movie slideshow of the book's pages and share that. Here's how to get your book into an iPhoto slideshow and then export as a Quicktime video:
    1 - While viewing the book type Command+P to start the print process.
    2  - click on the PDF button and select "Save PDF to iPhoto".
    Note:  If you don't have any of those options go to Toad's Cellar and download these two files:
    Save PDF to iPhoto 200 DPI.workflow.zip
    Save PDF to iPhoto 200 DPI.workflow.zip
    Unzip the files and place in the HD/Library/PDF Services folder and reboot.
    3 - select either of the files above (300 dip is used for photos to be included in a book that will be ordered).
    4 - in the window that comes up enter an album name or select an existing album and hit the Continue button.
    That will create a 200 or 300 dpi jpeg file of the item being printed and import it into iPhoto. Immediately select all of the photos in the new album and sequentially renumber them as "Page  " using the Batch Change ➙ Title to Text with the option to add a sequential number to each title.  This is to let you put the pages back in the correct order in the event they get sorted incorrectly.
    Now you can proceed as follows: create the slideshow in iPhoto and export it out of iPhoto as a QT movie file via the Export button in the lower toolbar.  Select Size = Medium or Large (480p with iPhoto 9),
    Happy New Year

  • How do I set up pages for mac and ipad to share a document and keep them synced.

    How do I set up pages for mac and ipad to share a document and keep them synced.

    You can upload them from Mac to iCloud and then download on the iPad. They only directly sync between iOS devices. The Mac version of Pages has more options that are not available on iOS. If you use a font that is not available on iOS it will change the font. Some layout options aren't available either.

    Is your "home computer" the same as your laptop or are these two different machines?

  • TS3999 my Mac and Ipad calendars stopped syncing

    my mac and ipad calendars stopped syncing. What do I need to do to get them to sync again?

    First check that all your settings are correct, that calendar syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
    Make sure the calendars you are using are in your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud account (you can do this by clicking/tapping the calendar button in the top left corner of the application ), non iCloud calendars will not sync.
    If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your calendars are in the iCloud account, you might try unchecking calendar syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling calendar syncing settings.

    You don't sync the MM calendar anymore, you subscribe to it in iCal,
    iCal>Preferences>Accounts, enter the details here.
    MM should be the default calendar on all clients.

  • Safari bookmarks not syncing to Mac via iCloud - Syncing works between iPhone and iPad.

    My iPhone and iPad both have the Safari iCloud option set to 'ON' in my devices settings. My bookmarks sync between my iPad and iPhone correctly but bookmarks do not synce between my Mac and my two devices.
    In iTunes, when I have either my iPad or iPhone connected it says: 'Your bookmarks are being synced over the air from iCloud.'
    What setting am I missing to get my bookmarks to sync properly from and too my Mac?

    Go to the Apple menu >> system preferences >> icloud.  Make sure you're logged in with the same apple ID as you are on the other two devices.  If you're already signed in, you can click on Account details to verify that.
    Then, make sure you have safari checked off in the icloud preferences.  If you already do, uncheck them for a minute or so.  Then recheck them.
    See if that helps.

  • HT4967 I can sync data from my Mac to my iPhone and iPad and from my iPhone to the Mac and iPad, but cannot sync data from the iPad to either device. My iPad is configured to Push. Is there another setting than I'm forgetting?

    I can update data from my Mac to my iPhone and iPad, and from my iPhone to my Mac and iPad, but cannot get data to update from my iPad to either my Mac or my iPhone.

    If new calendar events entered on your iPad do not appear on icloud.com, go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Calendar on your iPad and be sure you have selected an iCloud calendar as your default and not something else like On My iPhone, a Gmail or Yahoo calendar, etc.  If you haven't, make this change, then add a new event and see if it appears on your calendar on icloud.com now.
    If your settings are correct and new events still aren't appearing on icloud.com, add any missing calendar events from your iPad to your calendar on icloud.com.  Once the calendar on icloud.com is up to date with your iPad, go to Settings>iCloud, turn Calendars to Off, choose Delete from My iPad when prompted (they will still be in iCloud), then after a 15 seconds or so, turn Calendars back to On.  Then add a new event on your iPad and see if it appears on your calendar on icloud.com now, and on your other devices.

  • I have a macbook 4.1 with osx10.6.8 and just added memory (2gig) so I could sync my new Ipome and Ipad.  and Ipad. Now I'm told I need to upgrade my operating system. The apple store gave me conflicting instructions. Any suggestions? Thanks

    I have a macbook 4.1 with osx10.6.8 and just added memory (2gig) so I could sync my new IPhone and Ipad. Now I'm told at the apple store that I need to upgrade my operationg system. They said they couldn't help and gave me conflicting advice about what to do. Any ideas? Thanks you!

    There are three models of MacBook that comprise the 'macbook 4.1' category, and each of them a little different; however other than 'macbook 4.1' the other thing they have in common is they all are considered Early 2008. Two are white, one black, polycarbonate case, Core2Duo 2.1GHz, 2.4GHz white, 2.4GHz black.
    So if you can determine which one, if any of these, is the model build year and spec you have, that would be handy. Did you tell whoever you spoke to the serial number of your computer, so they'd know by looking up the specs to see what the supported maximum RAM upgrade capacity was, and other minimum requirements to make any upgrade to Mac OS X 10.6.8 at all?
    If you have the serial number you can do a lookup to 'indentify by serial number' online, and use that information to determine if the computer needs even more RAM to take it past the minimum for Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and then get it ready to upgrade (via paid download from App Store, Snow Leopard gets you that far) and see what the next supported OS X full upgrade would be for the hardware limitations on that old MacBook.
    If your MacBook IS a 4.1 build, the highest OS X it could run if it has the 2.4GHz cpu, is Lion 10.7.5. That would be an upgrade from the App store, available to OS X 10.6.8+ computers that access it online. And I kind of doubt how supported a newest iphone etc may be in lion.
    everymac.com has a fair amount of information across many years of Apple computing hardware...
    Here's the three MacBooks that share the 4.1 designation; first shipped with as much as 1GB RAM upgrade and the other two only a 2GB RAM*, (one white/one black color) according to this information...
    • MacBook "Core 2 Duo" 2.1 13" (White-08) 2.1 GHz Core 2 Duo (T8100)   
    • MacBook "Core 2 Duo" 2.4 13" (White-08) 2.4 GHz Core 2 Duo (T8300)  
    • MacBook "Core 2 Duo" 2.4 13" (Black-08) 2.4 GHz Core 2 Duo (T8300)
    ...as seen here: http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/macbook/index-macbook.html
    *But according to MacTracker (free: download database) http://mactracker.ca
    these MacBooks can use more RAM in aftermarket specs as much as:
    Maximum Memory
    6.0 GB (Actual) 4.0 GB (Apple)
    Memory Slots
    2 - 200-pin PC2-5300 (667MHz) DDR2 SO-DIMM
    To get more information use a service such as this...

    The Apple? store or whoever you talked, to may have been as accurate as they could be without further research. Could be you may have a newer or older MacBook, which would change whatever later OS X it could run past 10.6.8. And to go past Snow Leopard, you need to download the last bits for 10.6.x to be able to go and get any later upgrade. The ones that may let a newest iphone or ipad work with it, are past SL10.6.8
    Anyway, as you further verify the model build year and configuration specifications, report back.
    Good luck & happy computing!

    I recently began using reminders in ical and downloaded the iPhone and iPad app. It works great. However, the reminders in ical on the COMPUTER is difficult to work with - thin long column on the right rather than in it's own screen. is there a reminders app for the COMPUTER that is more user friendly?

    sgreenie,
    If you are willing to wait, Apple - OS X Mountain Lion - Inspired by iPad. Made for the Mac explains that a "Reminders" application will be included in the next release of OS X.
