Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
I want to save PDFs to iBooks on my ipad 3, but the iBooks icon doesn't appear after I hit the little box with the arrow....I did it once now it seems that I can't do it...
Also, my MacBook recognizes my ipad but sync won't start....also odd this before, but it won't now...
Thnx for any help.
iWeb '08, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)
If you are running IOS 7.
If you are trying to view a PDF through email or Website > you need to open it and then the box wiht the arrow at the top
should see
message, mail,open in ibooks, or other compaibtle programs
If ibooks is not showing up verfiy the program is uptodate and thats is is indeed installed ont he ipad.
I had issue with this not working and my sync not wokring and other werid functy issue and then i did a software updates and now its works fine.
Tap and hold down on the PDF itself in order to get the Open In box to appear, don't tap the arrow.
if you are getting the Sync Session Failed to Start message, quit iTunes, restart your Mac and reboot your iPad and try again.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
The ipad software is up to date, the iBooks icon still does not appear for a choice..iBooks is indeed installed, but not sure how to verify that iBooks is up to date...
Thnx
Also, nothing happens when I touch and hold on the opened PDF, sometimes it jumps around ..wierd...

Does not appear when? Did you do what I suggested? When you say it doesn't appear as a choice, we don't know what you are referring to. You don't have to open the PDF in order to get the Open In Box. Are you even getting the Open in box?
If you do get the Open In box to appear, try closing the mail app and reboot your iPad and then try again.
Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the Mail app and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.

If it worked yesterday, I don't think that your iBooks app not being up to date is the problem.

Cheers, Tom 😉
I have rebooted my ipad. When I open the desired PDF in safari... if I tap on the square with the arrow in the on the top left, the ibooks icon does not appear, I get twitter, facebook, mail and message.
When I tap and hold on the opened PDF, open in box does not appear.
Thanks again...
This is is what I get when I tap on the open PDF in Safari. Don't tap the square icon for this. Look to the upper right part of the screen.
I want to save PDFs to iBooks on iPad, but the iBooks icon doesn't appear for me to use.
