Sync books from iBooks on Mac with iBooks on iPhone

This task should be very easy to solve, but still, I can't do it.
I have downloaded a epub book, dragged it to iBooks app on Mac. Then I go to iTunes, click on iPhone and go to Books tab. I can see some books in Sync section, but they are different from those I see in iBooks app on Mac. No way to sync that single book with my iPhone.
So, my question is: what am I doing wrong? Is there any way to do that without killing virgin and summoning Devil? Because to me all this sync issues seem to be a black magic.

Hi NewGirl8,
Welcome to the Support Communities!  What format are the ePubs you are trying to sync?  The article below explains how to sync your PDFs and non-iBooks Store books.
iBooks: Viewing, syncing, saving, and printing PDFs on iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support
Using Sync Collections with PDFs in iBooks
If you turned on Sync Collections, iBooks will keep your PDFs (and non–iBooks Store books) in the same collections across all your iOS devices and Mac (if you're using OS X Mavericks). For example, if you have the same PDF on all your devices, when you move that PDF to your Sci-Fi collection in iBooks on your iPhone, that PDF will appear in your Sci-Fi collection the next time you open iBooks on your iPad.
If you delete a PDF (or non–iBooks Store book) while you have Sync Collections turned on, it only affects the copy on the device. For example, if you delete a copy of the PDF from your iPad, it will still be on your iPhone.
For more information about iBooks and the iBooks Store, see the frequently asked questions and how to sync iTunes Digital Booklets to your iOS device.
Cheers,
Judy

  • TS4062 I have synced my iTunes music in iPad with my new iPhone. Problem two audio books which I purchased from I tunes failed to come on my iPhone. Help!

    How do I sync audio books from iTunes in iPad with my new iPhone 4???

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
    Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > store, scroll down and tap your ID)
    If you are using iMessages or FaceTime, you will also need to log out and into your ID there too.

    Only if you are running OS 10.9, which includes the iBooks app.

  • Can I share purchased books from iBooks with separate iTunes accounts?

    Can I share purchased books from ibooks with separate iTunes accounts?

    While that's an understandable desire, the publishers don't want you buying a book and sharing it with multiple individuals who others would buy it. The inability to "share" a book or pass it on to a friend or relative when you're done is one of the drawbacks of ebooks vs traditional print ... And consider that when you pass on a real book to your wife, presumably you're not reading it at the same time. :-)
    Some other ebooks do allow limited (time-constrained) sharing of books - Barnes & Noble, for one, I believe - and they have an app for the iPad that would allow you to read books on it.

  • HT1222 when i do the update of ios 5.1 will it delete my books from ibook from my ipod

    when i do the update of ios 5.1 will it delete my books from ibook from my ipod

    If the device is synced with a computer and all content on the device also exists in the iTunes library on the computer as the device is designed to be used, nothing will be lost.

  • HT201272 Will not download purchased book from iBooks???

    will not download purchased book from iBooks???

    I Just figured this out. I had downloaded a bunch of books on my iPhone and had the greyed-out issue on my iPad with sync collections enabled. Had tried all the same fixes as indicated in this thread and others without success. What worked was restarting my iPad (this may not be a necessary stage) and searching for the titles that were stuck In the iBooks store. As expected each showed an 'in progress' download button. I was finally able to tap this to stop the (non-existent) download, which hadn't been possible within 'My Books' or the 'Purchased' tab on the store. When I tapped the button briefly jumped to 'Read' then changed to the standard iCloud download button for a previous purchase. Tapping this successfully initiated the download, which then synced into the right collection in my library.
    Hope it works for you!

  • How can i delete some books from ibook?

    How can i delete some books from ibook? It says: this book can't be opened. The book is corrupt. I can't open and I can't delete it

    I was unable to delete a book sample from my iPhone 5s running iOS 7.  This seems to be what worked for me.  I went to the Library and clicked "edit" in upper right side of the screen.  I then tapped one time on the book I wanted to remove and a blue check appeared at the bottom right corner of that book (presumably you could tap several at a time)  Anyway, when the blue check is on the book, you will see in the upper left of the screen the word "Delete" (mine was in red) I clicked that and then a confirming dialog came up from the bottom of the screen with the choices of "delete" or "cancel".  I chose "delete" and the book was gone.  Hope this helps.

  • HT204081 After I read a book from iBooks on my ipad, can I store them on my computer and remove the book from my library on the ipad? Will I lose the book if I remove it from the ipad?

    I have downloaded a book from iBooks. Can I save it to my windows based laptop, or iTunes library, to keep a copy at all times so I can remove it from my ipad? I have a lot more space on my computer then I do on my ipad.

    All content purchased from the iTunes store should be saved to iTunes on a computer for safekeeping.
    Simply connect the iDevice and select File > Transfer purchases.
    If the content is no longer desired on the device, manage what syncs to the device via iTunes on the computer.

  • Why can't I delete books from iBooks/iCloud?

    Why can't I delete books from iBooks/iCloud?

    What happens when you try to delete them from the iBooks app on your Mac ? If they are downloaded into the app (i.e. they don't have the cloud symbol on them) then you should be able to select them and then press the delete button on your keyboard to delete them.
    In terms of the cloud, you can't permanently delete any item from your purchase history, all you can do is hide them so that they don't show for redownloading, which you can either do via your computer's iTunes : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919
    Or for the iBooks app you can go into the Store in the app, and on the Featured tab select the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the screen and hide them (hover your mouse pointer on a book and it should get an 'x' on its top left corner, click that to hide the book).

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You can re-download content purchased from the iBook store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.
    You can re-download content purchased from the iBook store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option at the bottom of the screen after you tap the store button in the top corner of the iBook app on your iOS device.

  • HT5557 Permanently deleting books from iBooks

    Is there away to perminantly delete books from ibooks?  I've deleted them but their picture still remains in the "cloud".  I want them gone.

    You can't permanently delete any item from your purchase history, all you can do is hide them via your computer's iTunes so that they don't show in the Purchased links for redownloading : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919
    After hiding them on your computer you might need to log out and back into your account on your iPad for them to be hidden on it - with iOS 7 I've been needing to do that for Apps, not sure if it also applies to books
