Sync Books to iPad or iPhone 1. Connect iPad or iPhone to Mac 2. Open iTunes 3. Click iPad or iPhone (Books will then appear) 4. Click Books 5. Top left where it says Sync Books - (instead of choosing 'All Books') choose 'Selected Books' 6. Tick all the books you want on iPad/iPhone (or select ‘All Books’ if you want to sync all books) 7. Click Sync button Cheers, Ronni 17" MacBook Pro 2.3GHz Quad-Core i7 “Thunderbolt" 2.3GHz / 8GB / 750GB @ 7200rpm HD OS X 10.9.1 Mavericks Windows 7 Ultimate (under sufferance) On 24 Feb 2014, at 7:35 am, Peter Crisp <[email protected]> wrote: > Thanks for the additional comments Ronni.
