[QUOTE="rprescot, post: 1746930, member: 388761"] Background: I've running the latest operating systems and apps on my iPhone, iPad and Macbook. They all show I'm signed in to iCloud. All the relevant apps have been set to use iCloud. If I buy a book from the iBooks store on any of the three devices, it shows up in iCloud on the other two devices within a short amount of time. My problem is this: (1) When I create or download a pdf file outside of iBooks on either my iPhone or iPad and I then open it in iBooks, it shows up as available in iCloud on the other device, [U]but it never shows up in iCloud as viewed from the Macbook. [/U]A related problem, I think, is: (2) When I download a pdf on the Macbook and open it in iBooks, it doesn't show up in iCloud on the iPhone or the iPad. I can save pdfs directly to iCloud drive and access them across the devices that way, but I'm curious as to why iBooks on the Macbook behaves differently than on the iPhone and iPad. Additionally, if anyone can shed some light on the following: 3. I find it odd that iBooks doesn't show up as an app option in iCloud settings/options on any of three devices and that the iBooks data stored in iCloud doesn't show up at iCloud.com. 4. I'm continually bewildered by comments referring to downloading and syncing iBooks (or just "books") using iTunes. I don't see any options for this in my iTunes. Thanks for any help you can give me.
