I've got 500 PDFs in iBooks categorized into 20 Collections that I need to put onto 20 iPads.
When I sync via iTunes the PDFs transfer to the iPads BUT not the Collections, so it's just the unorganized PDFs.
Is there a way to get the Collections to sync??
Thanks!
Hello ,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you would like to sync your iBooks collections from your computer to your iPads while keeping them in their collections. To accomplish this, please follow the steps outlined in the attached article.
Sync iBooks between devices - Apple Support
Keep your books up to date across your devices
If you start reading a book on one device, you can pick up right where you left off on another device. Collections, highlights, notes, and bookmarks sync across all of your devices. Select these settings to sync:
- On your Mac, open the iBooks app and select iBooks > Preferences > General. Then, select "Sync bookmarks, highlights and collections across devices." This setting is on by default.
- On your iOS device, go to Settings > iBooks. Then, select Sync Collections and Sync Bookmarks and Notes. (In iBooks 3.2 or earlier, select Sync Collections and Sync Bookmarks.)
Have a great day,
Joe
Thanks for the reply Joe. 🙂
That seems to work when doing one device at a time - but when I've got 20 all connected to iTunes via a hub and sync them all at once, it doesn't work.
Anyone else??
Hi lvalesko,
Due to the nature of your question, you may find more information by using another one of Apple's support resources.

Not sure what you mean about the 'nature of my question' - this is the iBooks support area, right?
Why would I go somewhere else and where would you suggest I go?
Thanks 🙂
