Sync side-loaded iBook via iTunes?

I exported an iBook from "iBooks Author" and I successfully side-loaded the iBook to my iPad via DropBox. I'm aware that it's also possible for an iPad user to download an iBook into their iPad via a webpage.
Has anyone successfully side-loaded an iBook (with interactive and multimedia widgets) by importing it into iTunes then syncing their iPad or manually transferring it via iTunes?
Thanks,
Ted

I did it successfully! I just now:
1. In iTunes, I chose the "Books" category from the little drop-down menu at left,
2. Used File -> Add to Library ...
3. Imported my iBook into iTunes
4. When I started to drag the iBook icon towards the right, a panel displayed at right that contained an icon representing my iPad ... I dropped the iBook icon onto the iPad
5. The iBook opened within the "iBooks" app on my iPad

  • An extra group 'on my iphone' appeared after i sync with windows contact via itunes

    I am having this problem which appears to be happened after i sync with my computer. In the contact group, there is an extra group 'on my iphone' appeared after i sync with windows contact via itunes, and even though now i stop syncing already, the group is still there. Can anyone here give me some suggestion on how to remove this group permantly, i not just wanted to remove the contacts but the entire group form appearing on my iphone. Thanks.

    Is the app compatible with the iPhone (e.g. it's not and iPad-only app), and do you have the relevant iOS version on the phone ? Or do you have Settings > General > Restrictions > Installing Apps set 'off' on the phone which will stop new apps being installed ?

  • Any way to side load podcasts from iTunes to Podcast App?

    I have not been able to figure out how to side-load podcasts from iTunes to the podcast app iPhone or iPad.  On my iPad, I watch HD podcasts.  They take FOREVER to download over wi-fi (and I have 6Mbs down, which isn't all that bad).  The podcasts are in my Videos app.  I am not sure why the podcast app doesn't pull from the ones already under the Videos app.  Anyone figure this out?

    Ah-HA!  I knew there had to be a way!
    Not quite the same in 10.6, but close enough to find it:
    It's iTunes>apps, not iTunes>iPhone>apps.  I didn't realize there were different windows.
    Not double-click, but control-click.  Close enough.
    Easy-Peasy, now that you showed me how.
    Thanks, Barry.

  • I have synced my iPhone 5s via iTunes however, my album artwork is not appearing on my phone. Please help

    I have synced my iPhone 5s via iTunes however, my album artwork is not appearing on my phone. Please help

    Hi
    Typically these are added toy our iPhone by synching with iTunes and that is the only way to "unsych" them.
    In your Itunes tab for photos you can uncheck the albums you do not wanted synced to your iPhone.  Then resynch your computer and your iPhone and they will not be added to your iPhone.
    Cheers

  • How can I sync contacts and calendar via iTunes 11.1.8 to iOS 3.1.3 (iPhone 1)?

    I am proud owner of an iPhone 1 and it still works fine, but runs on iOS 3.1.3. I updated my 2 year old iMac to Mac OS X (10.9) and I am now using iTunes 11.1.8. Actually, I bought my iMac because I was so enthusiastic to see how smooth syncing with my iPhone worked. Now, since OS X, I can not sync calendar and contacts anymore. I had to reset my iPhone and start from scratch, so contacts and calendar are empty.
    Sync via iTunes does not work anymore because Apple deleted the direct sync function and my iPhone's iOS does not support iCloud.
    Sync via CalDav does not work, beause for some reason my iCloud account is not approved when trying to create it in mail/calendar/contacts (I tried several times, crosschecked, all data appear correct to me and work in the browser access).
    Sync via Google does not work, because obviously, my iOS does not support their calendar and contacts function.
    Sync via Windows PC might work, but I would have to set one up from scratch.
    Downgrading to iTunes 10.7 failed, because OS X didn't allow it. Downgrading the Mac OS might be an option, but I am already running e.g. Books and using it a lot.
    Any help is welcome.
    Iris
    P.S.: I still remember Steve Jobs saying "it simply works!"

    Thank you Meta, but I could not get the calendar and contact sync with Gmail to work. Apple support already suggested to use Google or a Windows PC. Maybe I should actually reset and try my old Windows PC. Seriously, ... can this be the solution after a Mac OS update for pure Apple users?

  • Syncing iPad-loaded Apps Onto iTunes; Loading Them to iPhone

    Problem: I'd like to move apps purchased on the iPad to iTunes, so that I can then load those (iPhone) apps onto the iPhone.
    Syncing the iPad to the iTunes computer doesn't seem to do it.
    ETA: iTunes is on a PC.
    Ideas?
    ETA Answer: In iTunes, right clicking on the iPad device, select "Transfer Purchases." That did the trick.

    If you have Sync Apps selected under the Apps tab for your iPad sync preferences with iTunes, after downloading an app with your iPad, the app should be copied to your iTunes library the first time you sync your iPad with iTunes after doing so.
    If you don't have Sync Apps selected under the Apps tab for your iPad sync preferences with iTunes, with your iPad selected and without syncing, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPad. After this, select Sync Apps under the Apps tab for your iPad sync preferences with iTunes.
    After transferring the apps to your iTunes library, the apps will be available under the Apps tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes to transfer selected apps to your iPhone. Select the apps you want installed on your iPhone followed by a sync.

  • Syncing "new mobileme" calendar via iTunes

    Hi, I'm using the "old" MobileMe calendar on a Mac (10.6.6) & syncing this via iTunes with an iPhone (4.2.1). The Mac syncs with the web-based MobileMe, so that I can view my calendar from computers at work. I sync my iPhone via iTunes because I do extensive travelling where neither the Mac nor the iPhone have internet access. The iTunes sync allows them to keep the calendars in sync with each other.
    Now, I'm wondering how this would work if I moved to the "new" MobileMe calendar. I understand that the "master" copy of the calendar no longer resides on the Mac, but in the MobileMe cloud. Can the iPhone still sync via iTunes & a local cable, or is it forced to sync wirelessly via MobileMe?
    I can find no information on this anywhere & I'm not game to experiment because once I switch to the "new" MobileMe calendar, there's no way to return to the "old" MobileMe calendar.
    Thanks in advance.

    Ok I am looking at old ipad 2 in mavericks and latest itunes on my pro and then this air on my new macbook pro. First the old ipad (all iOS7) as with all music, video, tv, books, podcasts option to toggle sync, and do all kinds of syncing.
    Ipad air, I notice this:
    Everything but music allows same sycning in my air (and works)  But music says Itunes Match on (which I do use on all devices even old ipad 2)  but just to make sure I turned off matching on ipad and the macbook pro itunes but it still says what you see above and does not allow me to toggl syn lists within itunes like I can for tV, video, podcasts ect. What gives??

  • Sync a CALDAV Calender via iTunes with iPodTouch

    Hi there,
    i have a nice Issue, i have a Calender via CALDAV in iCal, id tried to sync em via iTunes to my iPodTouch but unfortunaly it wont apear.
    I almost never use my iPod´s Wifi, so all Solutions with Apps are kinda useless for me.

    The Target i aim is to have my iPod when i leave my home and can see my Schedules and edit them and new ones.
    Does someone knows anything that i can do for a nice Workaround?
    Best Regards and Thanks in Advance

  • Adding a new PDF to the library of books to use in iBooks via iTunes fails

    Hi everyone who is not a beginner at his/her mac,
    I try to add a new PDF file the my iBooks Library using the iTunes app, but this does no more work for me. I looked in the System log and found that there is a problem to put a finder window to front.
    A part of the messages which could be related to this problem are:

    What is the reason for this behavior? How to fix it ?

    If it's a zip file that just contains the classes,
    then (brilliant insight here) change it's name so
    that it's a jar file. If it's a zip file that
    contains a bunch of documentation and readme files
    and also a jar file that contains the classes, then
    extract that jar file and use it.Do you mean that the only difference between jar files and zip files is the extension name???

  • Aperture 3.0.3 will not sync images with iPad via iTunes correctly

    I've read the forums looking for a solution to why my Aperture 3 library will not sync with my iPad when it is connected in iTunes. I have tried creating another Aperture library (which I then fill with a few images) and iTunes is able to see and import images onto my iPad. But when I switch back to my real Aperture library, iTunes can show the folders and projects but the number of photos in the folders and projects is not showing at all (i.e. 0). The sync process just hangs and does not continue from that point.
    I've also tried another suggestion about repairing permissions, removing the .aplibrary extention and using a new "dummy" library and then switching back to the original library. Nothing seems to work. It just seems buggy and slow i.e. spinning beach ball. Otherwise (beyond syncing to the iPad) Aperture runs fine, exports, e-mails, adjustments all works fine and quickly.
    I have a fast 1TB hard drive WD Caviar Black with 32 MB cache and only 350 Gigs used as the system hard drive. The Aperture library is located on the system disk and the referenced files are on a FW800 external drive.
    Anyone having these same issues? I can't seem to figure it out.
    I guess the only workaround at this point is to just export the photos I want to sync to my iPad into another folder or into iPhoto and import them that way. But it's rather annoying to have a "professional" application which doesn't seem to work as advertised (if Aperture is indeed the culprit).

    Here is what I have found out. iTunes will only sync to the last Aperture 3 library opened, and will only update when you close Aperture 3 and then reopen iTunes. Thats the building shared previews thing I guess.
    I am using iPhoto to sync photos to my iPad and iPhone, not Aperture 3. I export from Aperture 3 as original size JPG then bring in the exported photos into iPhoto. That way I can have multiple Aperture 3 Libraries and not have to worry about iTunes finding the wrong stuff. I know it takes out some of the automagic stuff but at least it works. But remember to close both iPhoto and iTunes before you try to sync, then reopen iTunes. I don't resize any of the photos for the device I let iTunes do that for me.
    Hope this helps

  • Syncing Calendars with iPhone via iTunes

    On my iPhone I have calendars from my MobileMe Account and calendars from the sync function in iTunes. This has given my duplicates in many instances. So now I've gone into iTunes to check my settings and see that iCal calendars are only to be synced using MobileMe. Thinking a iTunes sync with no calendars selected would fix this problem, I refigured those settings with only one calendar selected. However, it is taking forever for Calendars to sync with my iPhone.
    What is going on here?

    Turned Calendar Syncing on my iPhone off then back on again. When the iPhone asked to merge calendars I said yes. Fixed the problem.

  • HT1296 Reminders won't sync to my iPhone5 via iTunes

    My Calendar appears to sync perfectly but for some reason Reminders on my phone remains empty and there's no separate option in iTunes.
    I'm using Mountain Lion, the latest iTunes etc.
    I'd be grateful for ideas on how I can reinitiate or force through the Reminders.

    Thanks but I don't want to sync through iCloud as it seems to cause havoc with my calendar entries (although I have no choice for Notes for some reason Apple had the bright idea of removing the Notes option from iTunes.)
    Using iTunes is working well for Calendar and Contacts but not Reminders...

  • Is there a way to client to privately eval an ibook via iTunes?

    I'd like a client ot be able to take a peak at a rough work and not have the entire world download it and give them their feedback. i.e. a private preview or evaluation?
    They are an end user so WONT have all the technology to open it in ibooks author
    I'm stumped.

    Hi BFM
    Thanks for your thoughts. Here are the problems..
    Pull up book on iPad and do some screen shots of some samples pages. <- problem is then the whole point of the video and objects of ibooks is lost - I may as well be creating a word doc. etc
    Put proof copy on iPad and demo to client. < -- I dont want to send an ipad by fedex to another country!!
    Make a sample and email file to client.  <-- Is it possible to send a completed ibooks3 file by email? how would they open it on an ipad?
    Mark file with copyright and preview notes only. <--not sure I follow that one I'm afraid
    Does client have iPad? <- Yes exactly - so I need a way to get them the published sample so they can interact and evaluate if... but how? :-(

  • Can I sync collections from iBooks through iTunes like I do with playlists?

    I don't understand. They separeted Books from Music. Ok, that was good, but I can't select to sync collections.
    Everytime all my books are shown and I have to look for the one I want to sync with iPad, and the one I want on my iPhone, why can't I select the especific Library collection? Am I doing anything wrong?

    You would certainly have to authorize the computer for both accounts.
    I would think that it would work if you had all of the music on one computer and the computer was authorized for both accounts.
    Try it and see if it works.
