  • How do i transfer an ibook from desktop to macbook pro

    I have a second hand mac book pro and need to transfer my ibook files from a desktop to the laptop. How do I do it?

    If it's just one small book, eMail it to yourself, as an attachment.
    Open Apple mail.
    Open a new message.
    Address the eMail to yourself.
    Drag the book image onto the new message and it will be added as an attachment.
    Send the eMail to yourself.
    Open the eMail in your MacBook Pro.
    Click on the attachment and open it.
    This way you don't have to buy Firewire cords, that can be expensive and go to target mode, etc.
      * Note: Some providers don't like zipped books in the mail, so attach it in .pdf, .html, .lit form.
    ** Note: Some providers have size limits on eMail.    
                 If yours does, go with dragging the image onto a USB Flash Drive.         
                 Staples, Walmart, etc. sell the size you need for less than $ 5.00

  • How to transfer my iBooks from one ipad to other?

    How to transfer my iBooks from one ipad to other?

    Purchased iBooks can be redownloaded on all devices. If they are not from the iBookstore, connect your iPad to computer and 'transfer purchases'. They should now be transferred to iTunes (or iBooks if you are using Mavericks). You can then sync using the other iPad.

  • Outside PDF transfer from iBook to nook

    I recently bought a travel guidebook online from an outside source other than iTunes. However, when asked what program I wanted to use to open it I chose iBook. Since the book I downloaded was in PDF format I can not highlight portions of it using iBook. I am wondering if there is anyway to transfer it to nook so that I can highlight passages. Also the device I am using is an iPad if that changes anything. Thanks for any help.

  • Web-downloaded epub files won't transfer from iBooks to iTunes

    Hi!
    Yesterday, on my iPad, I downloaded two epub files from a website (using Safari) and opened them directly in iBooks. They work fine, show up in my Library with no problem. However, I can't get them to sync down to iTunes. This is definitely not the first time I've downloaded directly to iBooks from an app on the iPad (although maybe a first for an epub from Safari?), but this is the first time I've had issues syncing down to iTunes.
    I've synced and resynced and resynced and they won't transfer; not only do they not transfer, but if I open the Books folder on the iPad when it's mounted in iTunes, they're not listed. I could put them on my laptop first and then load them into iTunes and to the iPad from there, but I've highlighted and bookmarked in both books and don't want to lose all of that if it's avoidable.
    Any ideas? I'm wondering if there's some limitation of iBooks that I don't know. And if there is, is there a way to now get the epub files out of iBooks some other way? (To maintain bookmarks/highlighting.)
    Anyway, thanks in advance
    P.S. As a test, I just did the same thing on my iPhone with the same results: file won't sync down and doesn't show up when I browse the phone in iTunes.

    i have the exact problem last week when I signed up to receive a free epub in the email.
    When the email arrived I proceed to open it in ibook on my iphone and started reading, after 2 chapters I decided to sync the phone with my computer and found that it won't sync the newly downloaded epub, not even showing it in the device list in itunes.
    So I tried the same thing on my ipad, download to ibook, sync with computer. Same result: the book was not synced and won't show in ipad's book folder in the device list.
    Still haven't found a solution

  • HELP WITH TRANSFER FROM IBOOK G4 TO NEW INTEL MAC

    HI
    I just got a new intel mac and want to transfer all my stuff from my ibook G4 ... I tried the migration assistant, I plugged in the fire wire and turned on my ibook whilst pressing the T down. I get the firewire icon on my old machine but the new one still says 'waiting for old machine to restart' It just wont do anything when it gets to that point.
    I dont think I'm doing anything wrong but the thing is gettting me aggravated to say the least.
    HELP PLEASE!!

    Karen can't help there but wanted to warn you.
    I did the same thing--iBook G4 to intel iMac, did a "transfer all my stuff" and had problems. At least one G4 program caused my iMac to crash at start-up (it was a special anti-virus program). Also some messy things like the iMac though it was on a wireless network after the copy (like my iBook was) when it was, in fact, on a wired internet connection (it still worked but I got errors in the console log). Just messy.
    Once you get your problem sorted out I'd be careful about which programs I transfered over.

  • HT4059 How do I transfer my ibooks library to my Kobo reader?

    Can someone please explain to me how to transfer by books from my ibooks library to my Kobo Reader?

    If you bought/downloaded them from Apple then you can't - ebooks tend to have digital rights management on them which ties them to the store's own app/e-reader i.e. ibooks from Apple can only be read in the iBooks app on an iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch.

  • Problem using migration assistant to transfer from iBook G4 to new Macbook

    This is probably a very simple issue but I am a luddite. I can connect the old iBook and new MacBook by firewire and commence the migration assistant process. However, towards the end of the transfer I get a message saying that there has been a problem and I need to check all connections. The Macbook is wirelessly online (via Time Capsule) but the iBook is not online - is this the problem? Or is it that the iBook software (OS 10.3.9) is out of date?

    You're lucky it isn't working. I would not use MA. You may end up overwriting Intel files with PPC files causing your computer to become dysfunctional. Instead connect them via Firewire. Boot the iBook into Target Disk Mode and the MacBook normally. The iBook's drive should appear on the MacBooks Desktop. You can then manually transfer your files. The following will help you with what you need to copy:
    Folders You Can Move to Your new Mac
    From the Home folder copy the contents of Documents, Movies, Music, Pictures, and Sites.
    In your /Home/Library/ folder:
    /Home/Library/Application Support/AddressBook (copy the whole folder)
    /Home/Library/Application Support/iCal (copy the whole folder)
    Also in /Home/Library/Application Support (copy whatever else you need including folders for any third-party applications)
    /Home/Library/Keychains (copy the whole folder)
    /Home/Library/Mail (copy the whole folder)
    /Home/Library/Preferences/ (copy the whole folder)
    /Home /Library/iTunes (copy the whole folder)
    /Home /Library/Safari (copy the whole folder)

  • How can I transfer an iBook Author book via a PC?

    Hello
    I designed an iBook via iBooks Author for a friend and want to send it to her to preview.  She has an iPad but only a PC computer.
    How can I send her a proof so she can view it on her iPad?
    Thanks for your help.

    Both open a Dropbox free account - upload your book to Dropbox and create a download link - email the link to  your friend - she can download  to the Dropbox on her iPad and when clicked to open -  it offeres an "Open in iBooks" - and  from iBooks it can  be seen.   If this is a beta version, I would  tell your friend to delete it before downloading the next version.  Its not needed and  can cause  problems with which  version  is seen.
    No solution for PC.

  • HT5557 Can you make a book with Pages app. to transfer to iBook on the iPad?

    I have a very old manual of Westinghouse Radio schematics (1936-1937).I have scanned the manual in pdf's and wanted to take certain models to put together as one "book" for my own reference. iBook sees each page as a book when I export to it.
    What would be the best way to put them together so iBook sees one book with pages inside?

    I understand.
    I would like to keep the phone as secure as possible from unauthorized use by keeping it locked and disabling siri on the lock screen.
    However I would like my children to be able to use the phone app to call mom.  Seems like this could be accomplished by permitting the owner to imput several numbers that can be called from the locked screen.  Another solution would be to limit Siri's access when the phone is locked.

  • How to transfer an ibook purchase to my wifes iPad

    how to send a purchased ibook from my ipad to my wifes ipad?

    Unless you are using the same Apple ID on both devices you can't.    Purchases are tied to your Apple ID and only your Apple Id has access to them.  You cannot share them.
    If you are using the same Apple ID for purchases, you can go into your wife's iPad's iBooks Store, tap on Purchased and download the book from there.

  • How can I transfer an ibook I bought on my Mac to my iPad?

    My iPad is listed in iTunes but when I go to add it to a library all I see is iDisk, which requires a MobileMe account. Is there another way? Thanks for your help!

    Export the photos you want and select thumb drive. Considering there is no such thing as a USB disc I'm guessing you mean a thumb drive.

  • I have 2 Apple IDs. Can I transfer or merge my iBooks?

    I would like to stop using my old Apple ID (which is my email from a previous employer), and start using my new Apple ID. Can I merge or transfer my iBooks from the old account to the new one?
    I want to have all my stuff in one library.
    Thanks!

    You can merge the contacts from one account with your other one without overwriting them.  Sign into the first account, download them as vCard (iCloud: Export contact information as a vCard), email them to a device signed into the account you want to merge them with, tap the vCard and choose Add..., then Create New Contacts.
    You can also migrate a copy of the data in one account and merge it with the other by signing into the account you are leaving, then signing out (or deleting the account if not running iOS 8), then choosing Keep on My iDevice when prompted.  Then sign into the other account and choose Merge when prompted.  This won't move Notes however.  If you are syncing notes that you want to migrate from the other account, you can temporarily add the account to your Mac as a secondary account by going to System Preferences>Internet Accounts (or Mail,Contacts,Calendars)>Add Account>iCloud and signing in with the other account ID.  Then enable notes syncing in the secondary account.  You will then be able to open the notes app and drag and drop notes from one account to the other.  When you're done, delete the secondary account from your Mac.
    You can't merge IDs as Apple does not allow it.  Also, you won't be locked out of anything for 3 months.  The "90-day switch" rule only applies to changing your iTunes store account, not your iCloud account.  Just leave your iTunes store account as-is.  The ID you use for the iTunes store does not have to be the same as the ID you use for iCloud.

  • Can't transfer iBooks pdfs from first gen iPad to new MacBook Pro

    I have a bunch of important pdf files on a first gen iPad (iOS 5.1.1) that I want to transfer to iBooks in a 13" MacBook Retina.
    In iTunes, choosing Devices >Transfer Purchases from My iPad isn't moving them over. I've been able to transfer all the non iBooks pdfs from GoodReader, etc. In iTunes, I can see them in the Books section of "On This iPad" but can't do anything but view info.
    In iBooks, choosing File >Move Books from iTunes isn't doing it either.
    Syncing warns me that it's going to delete the iPad files.
    I'd rather not pay for 3rd party software if I can avoid it.
    Thanks.

    No they're not in the iTunes library. Purchased titles transferred and a few other things but a bunch of DRM-free pdfs and DRM-free EPUBS won't Budge.
    "Or you don't see them with the iPad connected to the Mac, with iTunes running, the iPad selected under devices and then look in the books tab of iTunes on the right?"...
    No. However, if I go a couple tabs further to the right, to "On This iPad" and select Books in the left column, they're all listed. I just can't do anything but view their info or rate them.
