Unsure how to sync ibooks between ipad and iphone

A few months ago I downloaded an extensive collection of work documents, in pdf format. They've been saved in ibooks on my iphone. After having synced my phone to my itunes, I currently see that I have those documents in Itunes. However, not knowing how to sync between iphone and ipad, I had uploaded those documents manually to my ipad via email. Now I have some mismatching documents in ibooks. I am wondering how to rectify this. I wonder if I could erase my ipad, and restart it as a new ipad, then sync it with my itunes on my computer, in order to upload the appropriate documents into ibooks. Thoughts?? Thank you!

PDF's don't sync between devices in iBooks, if you want to do that use something like Adobe reader.

  • How to sync iBooks between Mac and iPhone? I'm on Mavericks and iOS 7

    I'm on Mavericks and iOS 7, but my iBook on Mac is different from my iPhone 5.
    Does anyone know how to sync iBooks between Mac and iPhone?
    This issue has been puzzled me for a while, hope can find a way out here, many thanks~

    Under iTunes / File / Devices ?
    But I did not see my iPhone under this section...
    Only see those 4 options:
    Sync "my iPhone"
    Transfer Purchases from "my iPhone"
    Back Up
    Restore from Backup
    Could you describe a bit more precise?
    Many thanks~

  • How to sync Ibooks between Macbook and iPhone?

    Hi, doesn't anyone knwos how to sync my library between Iphone and Macbook?
    Thanks
    Carlo

    I created an empty collection in iBooks on my MacBook, then synced with my iPad, and nothing seemed to happen.  I did the Home button double-click on the iPad, killed iBooks, then went back to the MacBook and synced again.  The new collection then showed up on the iPad.  Might help.
    ...and from another thread: Select a book or collection in iBooks and press the Delete key to delete it. There will be a warning/Cancel/OK dialog.

  • How to sync bookmarks between Mac and iPhone without iCloud

    How to sync bookmarks between Mac and iPhone without iCloud?
    I bought a new iPhone and i would like to copy my Safari's bookmarks from my iMac (OS X 10.10.3) to my new iPhone (iOS 8.3).
    How to do this, without iCloud?

    You might be able to use Google Calendar to do what you want.  Set up a Google account on the web, set up the MacBook to access the Google account, including calendar, then set up the iPhone the same way.  While I'm using MAvericks, I am also using Google to manage my calendar, since I don't particularly *like* iCloud... And I came from Android to iPhone, but I haven't like iCloud since it was called MobileMe. 
    Oh, and as for sync to iTunes, can't you just use a direct conenction to the computer (either WiFi or cable) to keep the music in control?

  • HT5826 can't synch ibooks between ipad and iphone

    Have done everything that
    HT5826: iBooks: How to sync iBooks between devices, says and still no complete synch between iphone and ipad

    Yes it is, but it's also quite understandable. Apple has no way to know where non-iBookstore ebooks originated and whether they're legal copies or not, so they can't risk the liability of making possibly copyright infringing copies of them, automatically sending them to multiple devices. If you do it via manual syncs with iTunes however the legal liability is with you if they're illegal copies. Thus you can't store slide-loaded ebooks in iCloud or have them automatically sent to all your devices like you can with books purchased from the iBookstore.
    Maybe one day Apple will be able to convince the publishers to allow them to implement an iBooks Match scheme like the iTunes Match scheme for music, but given the notorious conservatism of book publishers and the difficulty of automatically fingerprinting books with many different editions vs music recordings for matching purposes I wouldn't hold my breath.

  • How to share Lists between ipad and iphone

    I have Notes on my ipad and iphone. Both have iCloud Sharing turned on. I am not able to share the Notes between the two devices so I can view the lists and notes on both. How do I do this??

    Also check Any Exchange accounts that you might be using - including any paid Google apps accounts. Look in Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars to be notes synching is off for those accounts.

  • How can I differentiate between iPad and iPhone iMessages for the same contact?

    I have my sister in law's email and phone number all in the same contact. She iMessages me from both her iPad and her phone. They come up as two different iMessage conversations, but they both are under her name. When I go to text her I don't know if I'm sending it to her iPhone or iPad. Anyone know if there's anyway to differentiate? Sometimes looking at what was previously said in the conversation helps but I can't always remember (nor do I know which device he was messaging me from in the previous convo). Thanks all

    Try scrolling to the top of the conversation and tapping Contact.  You will then see the originating address highlighted in blue on the contact.  If the iPad and iPhone are creating two different conversations, chances are if the email address is highlighted it's coming from the iPad; if the phone number is highlighted it's coming from the iPhone (although not necessarily).  To know for sure you would have to ask her to check Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and tell you which is checked under "Start new conversations from" on both devices to know for sure.

  • How to sync PDFs on iBooks between iPad and iPhone

    I have uploaded PDFs to iBooks but they aren't syncing between devices.

    The best way I found to sync PDFs in iBooks between all your IOS Devices and a Mac is to TICK the "Sync with this (Your iDevice) over Wi-Fi" setting which is found in the "Summery" when you open iTunes on your Mac and select your iDevice from the top let corner of your iTunes window or from the left side column in the Playlist amd Apply.

  • Is it possible to sync numbers between iPad and iPhone and mac

    Is it possible to sync Numbers between iPhone and iPad and IMac.  I work in a school and want to keep test scores for my class in the one place without having to manually update the spreadsheets each time I enter scores.
    Thanks in advance
    Conor 

    Yes, Numbers syncs (very well) via iCloud.  You need to activate Numbers iCloud sync on all of your devices.
    On the Mac, go to System Preferences > iCloud and make sure Documents & Data is checked.  Also click the Options... button next to Documents & Data and check Numbers.app.
    On each iOS device, go to Settings > iCloud > Documents & Data > and turn on Numbers. Also go to Settings > Numbers and turn on Use iCloud.
    After you've got things working, it's best to close down the Numbers document on one device before you use it on another.

  • Can u sync messages between ipad and iphone

    I have IPAD2 and Iphone 3GS, how can I receive all messages on both devices?

    Thanks for the info.  My devices are now in sync after applying the changes as recommended.  However, I need to add one more thing for this to work.  The other party would also need to specify their apple-id in caller-id.  The synchronization worked after I changed my children's Iphones caller id's to their respective apple-ids.  Maybe coincidence but it worked for me......hope this helps.  

  • How do I sync iMessages between iPad and iPhone on iOS 6?

    Haven't found anything online that was helpful as most of the references pertained to older iOS version or not the iPhone 5.

    Hello Kenny,
    Thank you for your question.  Deleting messages on one device will not delete the message on your other devices, but you can choose to disable iMessage or unlink your phone number. 
    You can disable iMessage on your iPad by going to Settings > Messages.
    iPad User Guide - Messages settings
    http://help.apple.com/ipad/7/#/iPad99acb5bb
    Alternatively, you can unlink your phone number from your Apple ID on your iPhone if you would only like to receive messages that are sent to your Apple ID on your iPad:
    Unlink a phone number
    To remove a phone number from an Apple ID, sign out of FaceTime and Messages on your iPhone:
    Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
    Settings > FaceTime. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
    This should remove your phone number from other devices using the same Apple ID with FaceTime and Messages. If the phone number is still available on other devices after you sign out of FaceTime and iMessage on the iPhone, you may need to sign out of iMessage and FaceTime on all your devices, then sign in to FaceTime and Messages again on devices you want to use.
    Note: If you no longer have access to the iPhone that is using the number you want to remove, reset your Apple ID password.
    You can find the full article here:

  • How to sync Contacts between rMBP and iPhone 5s.

    The Contacts on my iPhone 5s appear to be an older version than that on my MacBook Pro Retna.  How do I get them to sync?

    I am a new user when it comes to Apple so I have to say I am not sure.  I thought I had eveything setup for Contacts on the Cloud, until I noticed the diffenences between the rMBP Contacts and those on the iPhone 5s.  I also connected the two devices with a cable and rid to sync with iTunes, but I still see differences.

  • How to synch messages between ipad and iphone?

    I see older info on this but nothing current: how do I synch messages between my iphone and ipad?  Only some of them synch, and not necessarily only those sent from other iphones. I'm using OS7.

    The new info is the same as the old info. Nothing has changed.
    You have to use the iPhone number as the contact address on both devices. Settings>Messages>Send & Receive at>You can be reached by iMessages at. You have to select the phone number in there for both devices.
    Try signing out of Messages on both devices and start all over again. Settings>Messages>iMessage>Off. Restart both devices and then turn Messages on again on both devices starting with the phone.
    Messages only work with other iOS devices and Mac computers running Mountain Lion or Mavericks.
