Why can't I manage my iBook collections within iTunes?

Hi,
I manage my ebooks on my iOs devices within collections using the iBook app. I'm surprised to find that my iTunes software on my mac doesn't allow me to organize ebooks by collection though -- I have to do everything one at a time on the ipad.  Very frustrating, and it seems like a very stupid design flaw. 
Does anyone know how to manage collections via iTunes?
Thanks,

Thanks for the reply, but you didn't read my question apparently.
Yes, there is an Books tab. Great.
However, I can't seem to manage any collections via iTunes -- only on the iOs version of iBook. Since iTunes is meant to sync with iBook, then I would think that I could manage the core features such as collections via iTunes as well. This doesn't seem to be the case.
In short, is there a way to manage iBook collections via iTunes. Or.... do I need to go through my books (all 178 of them) one by one and manually place them into collections on my ipad -- which would be a huge pain.

  • Why can't I Gift an iBook from the iTunes Store?

    I noticed that for some reason Books within the iTunes Store don't seem to have the Gift option.
    Apps, Music, Movies, TV Shows, even Audio Books can be gifted.
    Why is this?

    Why should the publishers even have to agree to it? It's none of their business, just like it's none of their business (nor do they have to agree) if I buy a physical book from a bookstore and give it as a gift.

  • Why can't we organize apps into folders within iTunes?

    The best way to arrange apps on the iPhone and maintain and keep track of apps would be to allow us to organize the apps into folders within the "Apps" section on iTunes, not from the device itself or from the clunky window of the device when it's connected via USB.
    Come on apple, allow us to organize Apps!

    Drop a line to iTunes Feedback.

  • Can i manage ibook collections on itunes, rather than on the ipad

    can i manage ibook collections on itunes, rather than on the ipad.

    did you mean, iTunes Store and then Books?  thats the only thing i can find (following your notes above).
    what I am trying to do is add PDF documents to iBooks and organise them into collections. 
    however, i have found a work around:
    1. transfer the PDFs to the library (they go into Books automatically)
    2. highlight/select the PDFs that I want to group
    3. right click, get info, info tab
    4. create a Genre.
    doing this method creates categories.  not as good as collections, but this will do for now.
    if anyone can tell me how to create collections for iBooks (using iTunes - not iBooks on the iPad); please reply.
    thanks anyway.

  • Why can't I "manage my reviews"?

    I've logged into my account in the iTunes Store, clicked "Manage Reviews", and got a screen that said it was showing me 1-25 out of 100 reviews. Ok so far, but when I click on the little arrow to the right of 'More' to browse through the next sections, nothing happens. Repeated clicking, re-launching iTunes, re-starting the computer, have no effect. Is this an iTunes bug? It used to work fine. I'm still using iTunes 7, so this is not the result of an "upgrade".
    (I can click through my purchase history fine, using the 'Previous' and 'Next' buttons - it's just the reviews).

  • Why can I no longer open IBooks?

    Why can I no longer open IBooks?

    Go to the Apple Menu (top left) click the Apple Menu and select "About This Mac"
    That will result in this window:
    The version number is right underneath Mac OSX.
    Then I will need to know which version of Office (Word) which you will see on the splash screen when you start it.

    You must've blocked cookies. iTunes requires cookies I believe. If you did block it follow these steps:

    Because the owners of the songs have not licensed them for sale in the U.S.
    Apple doesn't have any say in the matter. it's up to the owner of the distribution rights for the music.

  • HT2736 Why can I not GIFT apps using my current iTunes balance???

    Why can I not GIFT apps using my current iTunes balance???  It allows you to pay using credit card, paypal, or a new iTunes card, but why can we not gift apps and songs to each other using the current balance we have on our accounts from previous iTunes gift card purchases etc.?
    Either I am missing something very obvious here, or Apple's greedy stance on gifting is actually creating less usage of the feature, because I for one would not think twice about purchasing gifts for people with a current balance that is already accounted for, but when it comes to adding money or using a card, it just feels like a new payment, and a bigger monetary burden.
    Please let me know how to do this if it is possible, and if it is not, then PLEASE FIX ?

    I agree with some points that is how it works. Because apple do things they want....
    It's quite nice that way being so unique and remarkable. However it is so inconvenient for users who sometimes just want to gift things without a credit card or such whatever.  Because sometimes it's meaningless to have balance when you aren't able to spend it.
    The point is made. Many are not happy with it but that's life. Just take it or leave it...

  • Why can I not delete a book from my iTunes library

    Why can I not delete a book from my iTunes library. There are many books that I want to delete and replace with current books, but cannot remove the old books.  Thanks  Guy

    Hey cjt101,
    Thanks for the question. Was this song purchased from the iTunes Store? If so, it may be that your device is configured to show all of your purchased music that has not yet been downloaded. The following resource may resolve your issue:
    iCloud and iTunes Match - iPhone
    http://help.apple.com/iphone/8/#/iphb8d9fd5a6
    View only music that’s downloaded. Go to Settings > iTunes & App Store. Under Show All, turn off Music.
    Thanks,

  • Why can't I see the column browser in iTunes 11.4?

    Why can't I see the column browser in iTunes 11.4?
    Just imported a CD of rare folk music that a friend gave me and want to edit the title, album name, etc like I used to.
    In iTunes under "View" the column Browser options are greyed out - not available.
    Seems that this is the view where editing is possible.
    What can I do to bring back column browser?

    Select Songs (not Artists or Albums) at top and you can use the Column browser.

  • Why can't I no longer watch movies from iTunes while they are downloading?

    Why can't I no longer watch movies from iTunes while they are downloading?

    Videos and movies purchased from the iTunes Store are by demand of the content owners copy protected and cannot be edited, regardless of what the software is you attempt to use. There is nothing anyone here can do to help you with that. If you need to be able to edit videos, you'll need to purchase and import the DVD - such importing is despite the content owners' efforts still legal for class use (as with any copyright issue, confirm fair use issues with your district's legal office) though we can't discuss methods here - which you'll then be able to edit.
    Regards.

  • Why can't I download the new version of Itunes?

    Why can't I download the newest version of Itunes? My Itunes program tells me an update is availible but when I select to download nothing happens.

    Try updating your iTunes using an iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) downloaded from the Apple website:

    Does that go through any better for you?
