PDF iBooks and iPad Syncing!!!

I have stored on my iMac pdf files, how do I sync these to my iPad to show in iBooks under pdf collections so I can read them on the move?

I have a pc, not a mac, so I don't know what the menu options look like on a mac, but in iTunes on my computer I can do File > Add File to Library which then allows me to navigate to the PDF (or music file) that I want to add to iTunes - alternatively I can drag the PDF file into iTunes.
The PDF will then appear in the 'Books' library in iTunes (if Books doesn't show then, on a pc, going into Edit > Preferences and ticking Books on the General tab show get it to show). With my iPad connected I can then drag the PDF from the Books library onto the iPad.

  • My Nano locks up when I try to sync it.  My touch, and IPAD sync great

    my Nano locks up when I try to sync it.  My touch, and IPAD sync great.   I have reset my nano and no better??

    Do you have any better luck with that if you update to iTunes 10.6.1.7?
    From the notes for the release:
    iTunes 10.6.1 provides a number of improvements, including:
    • Fixes several issues that may cause iTunes to unexpectedly quit while playing videos, changing artwork size in Grid view and syncing photos to devices.
    • Addresses an issue where some iTunes interface elements are incorrectly described by VoiceOver and WindowEyes.
    • Fixes a problem where iTunes may become unresponsive while syncing iPod nano or iPod shuffle.
    • Resolves an ordering problem while browsing TV episodes in your iTunes library on Apple TV.

  • EPub books not syncing between Maverick iBooks and iPad

    The books on my Mac won't sync to my iPad. I can read them fine on my laptop but can't transfer them. I tried moving the files to ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.BKAgentService/Data/Documents/iBooks/Books as was suggested somewhere here but they still won't sync. I cannot buy ebooks from the iBook store because there is none in my country; how am I supposed to read them on my iPad/iPhone?

    Hey, calm down everyone.
    There IS indeed a solution to this. You only have to do 2 simple steps that all your books are wirelessly updated no matter where you annotate them, on Mac with Mavericks or on iDevices running iOS7.
    On Mvericks, the auto update feature is already set to be syncing. Go to the iBooks Preference > General and check the Sync Notes, bookmarks etc. This is a default setting. So there's nothing to do.
    Then go to your iDevice and open up Settings > iBooks > Check the Sync Bookmarks and Sync Collections.
    Then comes the magic. Everything will set up and sync automatically. Everything from notes, highlights and colections.
    Voilla! 

  • HT4623 Iphone and ipad syncing issues

    both my iphone and ipad stopped syncing with my computer (pc).  The ipad never charged from my pc anyway but the iphone did.  anyone else having this issue?

    I fugured out that deleting from iPad does not delete from iPhone and whatever data is there is cloud will be retained for iPhone.

  • Problems with itunes and ipad syncing artwork

    Hi there,
    i am currently running Toshiba Satellite C50D windows 8.1 with itunes 11.3.0.54.
    last week i downloaded 6 new songs, edited their file details through itunes and suscessfully synced them to my ipad 3 128gb iOS 7.1.1.
    saturday night i downloaded a further 12 songs, added the artist and track name so i could find them quickly, but when i synced these across all of the artwork on my ipad vanished except the 6 song i did earlier in the week. i tried to sync it again the next day and now there is only 1 of the new song and 1 other old song with artwork.
    all of the artwork is attached to the files in itunes through the get info section. but it does not pull through to the ipad. i have not changed the way that i sync, download, or save the music files.
    i have tried deleting the whole library and adding it back maybe that would fix the issue. but instead of fixing anything it removed over 450 song details. but when you go into get info on the song you still have the lyrics and or artwork. but the info tab has reverted back to the download http link [example - Curtain Call - Eminem - When I'm Gone]. as well as any song that i have changed the start and end date has reverted back to 0:00 and its end.
    i am currently going through the library making sure every song has the relevant details in each screen, but this is a VERY time consuming process.
    is there an easier way? more to the point if i finish and then sync, and everything transfers properly. what are the chances of this happening again.
    i pride myself on having an organised itunes because i can find everything. but this is ridicilous when my process has not changed from the previous day.
    please there must be a reason as well as a logical explanation why this happened?...

    any solutions?

  • Itunes and ipad sync issues

    I synced my ipad to itunes.  Now my ipad has a black screen with teh itunes logo and sync cord.  I tried turning it on and off but I still have the error message.

    Sounds like it reset. Have you tried re-syncing? I find sometimes I have to turn off the computer and re-sync without doing anything else.

  • Using iBooks on iPad Syncing Problem

    Using iBooks on iPad I added several books directly while not connected to iTunes.  When syncing later, the books do not appear in iTunes (Windows) but seem to stay in iBooks on the iPad.  Why don't they show in the Books folder?  Why aren't they added to the Books in iTunes? How do I get them there?  All software is at the current versions.

    It may be your computer is not yet authorised. Check by going in iTunes to Store > Authorise this computer. If that's not the case, simply try going to File > Transfer Purchases
    That should get any purchased content off the iPad onto the computer
    Hope this helps

  • IMac and iPad sync with cloud no problems, iTouch with OSi4.2.1 is now wiped out, how do I sync contacts and mail?

    I am not a happy mac user at the moment.  I have a new ipad OSi 5.0 works fine with my two Lion systems.  I have an iPod touch with OSi 4.2.1 I was trying to sync my calender, mail and contacts.  It did the mail and calender but it wiped out my contacts.  I not only want them back, I want them synced with the other systems.  I should not have to buy a new touch to get this to work!
    I would be happy to upgrade the OSi if it was an option!

    You can't actually delete an iCloud account but you can remove it by signing out at System Preferences>iCloud if it is the promary account, or in Mail, Contacts & Calendars if the secondary, and then juste ignore it.
    The Blackeberry can only sync with data held under 'On My Mac'. iCloud can only sync with data under 'iCloud'.
    When you set up iCloud your calendars and contacts were moved to the iCloud server. If you want to use Blackberry you will have to move them back to 'On My Mac' and not sync with iCloud: it's one or the other.
    To move calendars, follow the second set of numbered instructions here:
    http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/icloudmovecalendars.html
    To move contacts, File>Export as vCard when you have selected all your contacts, then delete the contacts under iCloud, make 'On My Mac' the default and reimport the vCard.

  • Why don't my iPhone and iPad sync wirelessly anymore?

    I just started college and ever since I got here, my phone and iPad 4 have not been syncing with iTunes wirelessly and it drives me crazy. I have wifi here and they're all connected to the same network...what might be preventing this from working?

    Settings>iCloud>Photo Stream>On. Do that on both devices. Or Settings>Photos and Camera>Photo Stream>On.
    Photo Stream will only work with new photos that you have taken with either device - after you turn it on. It will not stream photos that were on the device before you turned it on.
    And of course, you must be connected to Wifi in order for it to work.

  • Mac and ipad sync

    does iphoto for ipad sync with iphoto with the mac

    That's so obvious we needed some kind of sync with these two.
    From net:
    My ideal scenario is to enable syncing of various albums or events through iTunes to my iPad, then edit some photos with the iPad and have them sync back to the mac (preferably all with iTunes wireless sync). I gather it doesn't really work like that at the moment?
    It doesn`t actually work at all...
    You have to manually export the pictures to iTunes

  • IPod and iPad sync new computer

    I have the original iPad and a touch. Desktop recently crashed, no backup. When I sync for first time w new computer, can data be transferred to iTunes from pad/pod? Or have I lost everything?

    iTunes includes an option to transfer iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store from an iDevice, but this is for iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store only.
    First you need to authorize your new computer with your iTunes account with iTunes if you haven't already done so. With the iPad connected and without syncing, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purcahses From - the name of your iPad. Repeat the same for your iPod unless the iTunes content on each device that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store is identical.
    For iTunes content that was not purchased from the iTunes store and for photos transferred from your computer, if you have a Mac you can use this 3rd party utility to transfer this content in the opposite direction.
    http://www.ecamm.com/mac/phoneview/
    Photos transferred from your computer to your iPad are optimized for viewing on your iPad as part of the iTunes transfer process - the original resolution of these photos is reduced depending on the resolution of the photos on your computer. The resolution will be lost when transferring these photos in the opposite direction which is why this is not supported via the iTunes transfer process. Photos on your computer should be included with your computer's backup along with your iTunes library and all other important data. An iDevice is not designed or intended to be used as a backup storage device.

  • IPhone and iPad sync session in iTunes won't begin

    The most recent time I have attempted to sync my iPhone 4S and my iPad2 in iTunes on my Mac, the following happens.  iTunes recognizes the device, the little "turning arrow" appears and the sync window shows "Waiting to begin sync".  This persists for 15-20 seconds and then I get the message that sync was not completed because sync session did not begin. This is true for both Wi-Fi and USB attempts.   I have not had trouble previously with either device on my Mac.  What's the deal?
