Hi everyone,

I'm glad this website is still up and running. :) Here is my problem.

Is there an alternative way to get the epuds on my iMac's iBooks to show up on my iPhone's iBooks app, without having to update my iMac's OS X software?

My iPhone is an iPhone 8 and running IOS version 13.1.2. My iMac is an iMac from 2011 and it's running iMac OS Sierra 10.12.6 When I went to the settings to sync iBooks from my iPhone to my iMac is stated:

"To sync changes to your library on the following devices, you'll need to update them with iOS 12, macOS 10.14, or later."

I don't want to have to update my iMac OS X, so is there a different way to get the epuds to show up on both my iMac and iPhone?

Thanks

I found one solution. I uploaded my epuds to DropBox from my iMac. Then I went into DropBox from my iPhone and selected the epud, choose export, and searched for the iBooks app. Once I selected the iBooks, it exported it into my iPhone's iBooks app.

Would be nice if I could just still sync the two.

Not without updating your iMac to Mojave, which it can't. And by the way, what is an "epud"? I think you might mean ePub?
