I wanted to sync some PDFs from Mac to iPhone via itunes. I did't bought the books in iTunes or iBook store. Is there any solution? Thx.
iPhone 5c, iOS 7.0.4
You need to copy the PDF files into iTunes, then plug in your iPhone, go to the books tab and select the PDFs you want to sync.
I copied the pdfs by selecting add to library both in iTunes and iBook on my Mac. But i can't find tab "book" in iTunes library. But there is a book tab under the "device" section which is empty, because it shows the book I got on my iPhone.
If you select the phone on the left-hand sidebar of your Mac's iTunes, then on the right-hand side of the iTunes screen there should be a series of tabs, one of which should be Books :
If you select that tab you should then be able to select the PDFs for syncing to your phone.
Why don't I have the "Books" tab? I don't have the "Tones" tab either. But when I connect to iPhone 5s, I can see those two tabs. Is it becaus of the difference between 5C and 5S.
The tabs that show should be the same whichever the model - mine is a 4S and that image is from that.
You are connecting the 5C and 5S to the same computer e.g. the 5C isn't being connected to a computer which doesn't have any books or tones in its library ? And you have the iBooks app installed on the 5C ?
Now I have a book tab, but I can't sync the ones I download from other website, which are not from iTunes store.
What happens when you try to sync them ? They are in that computer's iTunes library (or iBooks app if you are using OS X Mavericks on your Mac), and that is the computer that you normally sync your phone to ?
I just have no idea how to sync them via iTunes. I can't find the book I'd like to sync. I think the problem is the book wasn't download from the offical book store or iTunes store. Because I can see the book downloaded from iBook store. I solved this problem by using iTools. But I still want to know if the iTunes or iBook allows me sync the books that is not purches in the store. Cause sync with iTunes is always better than any other ways.
I have the left-hand sidebar enabled on the Mac's iTunes (if it's not showing the option-command-S should get it to show), and when I connect a device I select it on that left-hand sidebar :
And then on the left-hand side of the iTunes screen select the Books tab to select and sync ibooks, epubs and/or PDFs :
As long as the book / epub / PDF is in your computer's iTunes library (File > Add To library will add them if they are on your Mac but not in iTunes ; if you have Mavericks on your Mac then you add them via File > Add To Library to the iBooks app on your Mac) then they should show on that tab for syncing.
Can I sync PDFs which are download from websites ( not in the iTunes ) to my iPhone 5C ( ios7 ) which has the iBook.app installed？
