#DOES SONGBOOK SYNC FROM ONE COMPUTER TO ANOTHER PDF#

It is very easy to add a PDF and not see it in the book list, because you forget to check the PDF collection!Īlso, be sure to tell iTunes to sync the PDFs by selecting them just as you do books, but in the PDF 'folder' in iTunes.Įdit: if you are running Mavericks (OSX 10.9), Apple has separated the iBooks function OUT of iTunes, and created a separate iBooks application. Normally, by default, the iBooks apps opens the Books Collection, so you need to select 'Collections' next to the 'Store' button in order to see the PDFs. This same Collection is then created on the iPad. You can see this collection above the list of book icons in the Books view of the Library. However, the first time you add a PDF, iTunes creates a collection called PDF. 10.9 Mavericks introduced a separate iBooks app, see below)

(Note: OSX 10.9 adds a slight change to this answer. You can also drag to the Library section of iTunes, if you have it open. You can simply drag a PDF to the iTunes icon, and iTunes will add the PDF to the iTunes book list.

You should now see all of the PDFs you synced.

Once synced, go to iBooks on your iPad and in the Library, select Collections.

Select the Sync button in the lower right.

Select the checkbox for the PDF(s) you want to sync (skip if you're syncing all books).

Select Books from the menu bar just under the iTunes center window (you can skip this step if you want to sync all of your books).

Select my iPad name in the left column.

Stop the auto-sync/back up process in the center window by pressing on the small 'X' (yours may not be set to auto sync when plugged in).

Drag the PDF from my desktop to iBooks.

Maybe iBooks has been separate for a while, but anyway, here's what I had to do:

With the recent update to iTunes (I'm now on iTunes 11.1.5), the previous directions for uploading an PDF and syncing it with iBooks didn't work for me because iBooks is now a separate program at least on Macs. Here is thread on, and the answer that pointed me to the right direction: Then, synchronize your device.Īlso, if you try to add PDF files using File -> Add to Library, iTunes seems add those files as sound files, and they end up in the Music section of your Library, but won't be copied to your iOS device as PDF files. So just launch iBooks and drag files into the application window, and the books section in the synchronize tab will update immediately. There is no Books section in your iTunes library where you can drag files to. You have to use iBooks in order to add books to your library.

Books are managed by the OS X application iBooks.
