Sync ePub books between iBooks on Mavericks and iPad/iPhone?

is that possible?
books bought from the ibooks store sync just fine. just all the other books won't sync from A to B...

accidently found out how to sync the library:
drag and drop an ebook (that you haven't purchased in the ibooks store) from finder into iBooks on your Mac
open up iTunes and connect your iPhone or iPad - you should now see the "books" tab again next to apps, music etc...
in the "books" section, choose "sync books" and "all books"
press the sync button (lower right corner - don't know what its called in the english version) - your iBooks on the Mac should now be copied over to your idevice and vice versa. all the stuff that was on your iPad before should now also show up in iBooks on your Mac (including PDFs )
this will at least keep your library synced on all devices, I think this won't sync bookmarks and notes though
hope this helps a little bit

    I am looking for a convenient way to synchronize my calendars between my email account and Microsoft Outlook to my gmail account and Iphone 4s

    you are asking about Microsoft products and using a laptop, not a workstation Mac Pro.
    The Numbers and Pages Apple Communities. or MS Community if you want those.
    Importing and Exporting, but Numbers and Pages will not do a SAVE into other formats by default, and therefore have to keep using Export which is messy.

  • My ibooks on mac and iPad does not look like book shelves.  It use to.  What happened?  HT2519_04-ibooks_bookshelf_003-en.png

    My ibooks on iMac and iPad use to look like "book shelves".  This says shows new ibook should look like bookshelves.  file:///Users/mcdonagh/Desktop/HT2519_04-ibooks_bookshelf_003-en.png
    Also, purchased books prior to new ibook will not download from imac to ipad?  Any reason why? 
    I'm so very very frustrated.

    To post an image you need to use the camera icon above the post :
    The current version of the iBooks app for iOS devices is as shown on the screenshots on this page : iBooks app i.e. a white background :
    And the OS X Mavericks Mac version of the app is similar. Is that what you are seeing ?
    And when you try to sync an ibook from your Mac's iTunes to your iPad what happens ? You've selected the iPad device's Books tab and on that have selected the book(s) that you want to sync to the iPad ?

  • How do I get an epub book into IBook to read on my iPad

    I have a lot of eBooks, used on a Kindle and have tried to get iBook to see them on my iPad. It does not.
    1. I converted from azw to epub with Calibre
    2. I tried dragging and dropping the file onto iTunes->iPad->Books and onto iTunes->iPad which didn't work.
    3. I used Add to Library from the File menu and they imported ending up in iTunes->Library->Books.
    4. I tried dragging each book from iTunes->Library->Book to iTunes->iPad->Books and onto iTunes->iPad and it would not work
    5. I Synched my iPad and cannot find any of the epub books with iBook. Nothing but Winnie the Poo which came with iBooks.
    What and I doing wrong?

    There are some threads on the use of Calibre with the iPad on their forums. This thread might be of help:
    http://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=79093&highlight=Ipad
    and if not searching that forum for "iPad" may turn up additional suggestions.
    Good luck.

  • I would like to sync Notes between my MacBook Air and the IPhone and/or IPad.  I used to tick a box in Itunes (info), but for some reason it is no longer there.  How do I go about doing the sync?

    The only way to sync Notes is through a mail server. If you don't want to use iCloud, you'll have to use some other mail account, or run your own mail server under OS X Server. The latter is a job for advanced users only.

    Yes, you can use it for Mac computer > Mac computer or iDevice > iDevice. It's because they have different operating systems.

  • HT1296 I'm having difficulty syncing my iCal between my home computer and iPhone.  New entries from my home are not syncing with the phone and vice-versa.  I didn't have any problems with this before until the latest phone update.  Any suggestions?

    It could be that the existing wire in your appartment is not clean enough to provision DSL only. When combined with the phone possibly it has a higher line voltage and worked before. Now that the line is to be provisioned without phone service it may be giving them trouble that did not show before they came out and ran the new line test. So a new jack dedecated for your DSL line may require a new wire be run to your appartment. Also the account for internet only used to require direct billing to a credit card or something else. This was a number of years ago. Most accounts are linked to a phone number, and without a voice number it adds to the confusion.
    If you are getting the voice and everything turned on as before, then I am at a loss for words.

  • How can I download/update my contacts between my MacBook address and my iPhone 5?

    Hi,
    Can anyone help me on this problem?
    How can I download/update my contacts between my MacBook address and my iPhone 5? They don't sync with each other.  Thanks

    Welcome to Apple Discussions, Catwang!
    You can use iTunes to sync the two devices. See the KB article, iOS: How to transfer or sync content to your computer and iTunes for Mac: sync contacts, calendar and other info.
    If you want to use iCloud, your MacBook  needs to use at least OS 10.7.4 or later. See Set up iCloud on all your Devices.

  • I have a '09 MacBook Pro w/ OS X Mavericks and an iPhone 4 and I'd like to copy a thread of text, not notes, but text from my phone to my computer. How do I do that?

    First of all, you should always save you photos on computer like any other digital camera.
    Backup on iCloud or iTunes only backup your Camera Roll. The other photos should be already on the computer.
    Note: Photos are not saved in iTunes, it's only a conduit between your iPhone and your photo managing software on computer.
    What computer do you have?

    It means that nano was used on a third-party software or synced from different computer to sync music. Does that nano show in iTunes? If yes, then restore completely. If not, then you may need to head to Apple Store and see what they can do.
