Sync ePub books between iBooks on Mavericks and iPad/iPhone?

Same for me. Very upset to say the least.

I need ALL my iPad books into Maverick iBooks. It's just common sense.

Manually adding all the ePub and PDF files to Maverick iBooks is one thing, but then how do you retreieve ALL the notes and highlights, bookmarks from the iPad on those same books in Maverick??? No way I will lose my notes.

Any idea or were the developers clueless?

I can confirm,

just installed Maverick in a VM; launched iBooks on the Mac, and then manually added all the missing ePub files I had form other sources, mainly O'Reilly.

They appeared in iBooks mac and were in the correct categories, and notes, bookmarks and highlighted sections are present... That's good news.

They should add a mechanism to push books anyway.

The Syncing questions seems to be answered. I came here with the same question but in the end I didn;t want to sync between my Mac and iPad becasue I didn;t want all the stuff from my iPad on the Mac.

Anyway the "epub" files I did want to transfer to the iPad were adding simply by dragging them to the iTunes window when the iPad was connected.

To sync your non purchased epubs with ipad in Mavericks

Make sure the books you want to sync are in iBooks on Mavericks

Then Go to File in iBooks and click Move from iTunes

I know it sounds the opposite but this will sync with iTunes so that your ibooks show up in iTunes for syncing.

perfect solution, solved my problem that I was researching for hours...

Great, Can you check my response as Solved your issue.

i need to sync ibooks from my imac to my iphone

it should be easy but i cant do it

no option anywhere on imac, in itunes, or in ibooks to do this

This works perfectly! @kues

Thank you so much! I read on my iphone and have been trying to get a friend's new book on there for a month now. You have no idea how much such a simple solution is appreciated.

Hello, does anybody know how can I move the books from my iPad to my new Mac without losing them because that's what syncing will do to the books in my iPad.

@imshook - are these books you have purchased from the iBooks store? If so the easiest thing to do is log onto the store from your mac with the same id and download them.

If they are weren't purchased from Apple, do you have them synced on an older computer - again the easiest way to get them on the new Mac is to copy them from the old one.

Otherwise you may need to use a third party program to achieve it.
