Sync bookmarks and notes

iBooks stores bookmarks, notes, and information about the current page in your Apple account, keeping this information up to date so you can instantly continue reading on any device. Bookmarks and information about the current page are synchronized in PDF documents.

Toggle bookmark sync on or off.Go to Settings> iBooks and turn on or off the Sync Bookmarks option.

Internet connection required to sync settings iBooks syncs information for all of your books when you open or exit the program. Individual books are also synchronized when they are opened or closed.

So, the question in this lesson is as follows: we have an iPad and an iPhone and on both gadgets I would like read the same book, at the same time, it is desirable that the device remembers which page you left off.

For these purposes, I recommend the application SHOTBOOK... This is one of best readers for iOS. And now the question is: how to make sure that the books are synchronized, and after reading the book on the iPhone, we could continue reading it on the iPad without remembering the page, without making bookmarks, and so on. Everything is very simple. I give a diagram.

This one has a very handy function that allows you to iCloud sync all books uploaded to the device between the rest of their devices, and this function also remembers the page on which we stopped reading. After reading a book somewhere on the road on our iPhone, we can continue reading on the iPad, from the moment we stopped. To do this, you just need to activate icloud, then turn it on in the program and have access to the Internet for instant synchronization.

On your smartphone or tablet, where applications have already been downloaded to the device, go to Settings and find the iCloud menu.

Make sure that iCloud Drive enabled if not, turn it on yourself.

Now open the SHOTBOOK application and go to the Settings menu. We find the line iCloud.

We go there and press the button Activate iCloud.

It will start and go to the Active status. All your books, and the pages where you stopped reading, will be downloaded to iCloud. It remains to do these operations on the second device, for example, on a tablet, that is, enable Icloud in the settings and launch it in the SHOTBOOK reader itself, books from the iPhone will also be displayed on the iPad.

In this convenient way, I use sync books to iPhone and iPad. Good luck!

Awesome Software with Awesome support staff.

I really needed a good software to backup my messages from the iphone. Imazing was really great and fast. most important thing is that their support was really amazing and fast. Very easy to use and very beautiful software. Worth every cent. Thanks.

Software that works.

Steve peck

I needed to print my text from my iphone. I installed the software, attached my phone and 2 clicks later I had my printout. Easy peasy !!!

Very efficient.

Paul from sussex

We have 3 Apple computers, 2 iPhones, 2 iPads and an iPod, and Apple no longer automatically allows syncing of these devices for products not purchased through the iTunes store. You can look on YouTube for videos to do this for free but it is cumbersome and each time you want to sync multiple devices it takes a fair amount of fiddling (and time). iMazing has done this quickly and efficiently and although slightly expensive the ease of making the transfers is worth it for us.

Amazing iMazing!

Peksa

I have been using iMazing since it was called Diskaid in 2014. It allows me to transfer things flawlessly from my iPhone to computers, iPads etc which almost better than iTunes. Their lifetime fee is not huge but they are always able to help me out with forgotten activation keys even though I bought my membership 2-3 years ago. They have always been quick to respond and they work with both iMac and PC. Give them a try. You "ll find out I" m right!

Tired of iTunes? Give iMazing a Go!

Theo

If you are tired of having to sync things to your iPhone through the often clumsy and bloated interface that is iTunes, you should TOTALY give iMazing a try. It works flawlessly, allowing you to manually choose what goes on your phone. It also integrated to file app to allow you to drag a file straight onto your iPhone. iMazing is definitively worth the $ 30.

Saved my life

Drdent

Before using iTunes and any other apple software you MUST do a backup with this software. It is fast, simple, inexpensive and easy to use. Following your imazing backup no matter how hard iTunes tries to destroy your iphone or ipad you will always have a full backup of everything. Also make SURE you get a backup using imazing BEFORE EVER upgrading your iOS.

The best!

Antonio Monteiro

The best application for handling, copying, extracting and backup content. Bought others who did not perform the work after iOS 8.3 and Imazing was fantastic. Recommend! Worth it!

This product works without issues.

Christopher murphy

I have been a lawyer 44 years. Need reliability in software. This product has been perfect for downloading text messages for use in litigation. It works quickly and is far superior to Apple software and its messing around. Wouldn "t be without it.

Excellent product and top notch customer service.

Kimberly carpenter

I have used this product for years and it has been a fantastic resource to save to my computer the texts and voicemail messages from my phone that were important to me. The customer service experience I have had has been great- my emails are responded to quickly and you work with the same person during the entire process which helps immensely if you have additional questions. Overall, very satisfied with the product and service! Highly recommend!

Export Notes directly from iPhone.

Eric

I found the notes export functionality very useful in transitioning to a new iPhone. The notes were quickly converted to text files, no muss, no fuss. And no iTunes! I see other potentially useful exporters and tools that I look forward to trying in the future.

Converting text message format to download to the PC.

Frederik gouws

Previously, I had tried to copy and paste my text messages to an email, and then pass them to the PC via Outlook. This was especially laborious for a long thread of conversation, but I wanted to keep a record of text messages in case they may be required to be referred to in the future. Your program downloaded easily and works brilliantly. Well done!

Very good.

Tomasz kubicki

Very simple and intuitive yet very efficient application. Works very fine with my iPhone 6S plus and my MacBook. And what is also very important, the technical support team responds quickly and tries their best to find good solutions.

Life saver program.

Ellen Zaroff

I bought this to back up some texts I had which I needed for a legal reference but this program has just saved me when all my photos were erased in an apple glitch ... they had all been stored on iMazing. Am so happy with this product! Thoroughly recommend it for all the variety of access it gives you to your devices, which Apple makes such a pain.

Good product, responsive support.

Brian newlove

I bought iMazing about 2 months ago and have been completely satisfied with its performance. When I ran into difficulties and had questions, the support team was very responsive and provided exactly what I needed.

Useful, Elegant and Effective.

Dewey M

iMazing takes the basic connectivity between my Mac and iPhone and brings it to a level which makes computer and phone practically one unit. Moving music, messages, web pages and more rom one to the other is simple and reliable. I can "t think of another application I" ve tried which does as much as iMazing as well.

iBooks is a pre-installed reading platform e-books and listening to artistic and contemporary works on your iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch. For the first time the "reader" appeared in the middle of 2010 and since then has become the main, but not the only, source of inspiration for the owners Apple technology... The main idea of ​​iBooks is to speed up and simplify the search for literature, to provide access to a synchronized and daily updated library of books, and at the same time to solve the problem of storing works in audio format: no additional tools will be needed from now on - listening, reading and developing, you can "stay at the cash register" ...

Additional pros of iBooks:

1. Frequent updates. Although the developers from Apple do not change the traditional functionality, they keep up with design trends and always offer new and interesting solutions, such as a dark theme, support for gestures and an intuitive catalog where you cannot get lost;
2. Available formats: ePub, PDF and iBooks (an exclusive extension from Apple, designed to expand the standard capabilities of books and "compress" information without loss of quality). It seems to be no surprises, but the result is impressive!
3. Automatic night mode. If you really want to delve into reading late at night, then the iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch will help you achieve the perfect atmosphere, and at the same time reduce the strain on your eyes. If desired, the setting is removed manually, or automatically, if there is enough light around;
4. Work with text. The idea is standard - notes and quotes. But incarnation is again ahead of time. Selected sections of text are allowed to be marked in different colors, passed to friends on social networks (supported by Facebook) and covered with additional notes that are automatically synchronized between Apple equipment (how this happens - later in the instructions).

The disadvantages of iBooks are the overpriced (although there are really a lot of free copies of books) and the availability of editions only for English language... And, if it is not difficult to add money for a quality purchase in some cases, then it is much more difficult to deal with the misunderstanding of foreign words - you will have to reach for the dictionary for hours and slowly go crazy ...

How to sync iBooks

There is no separate function responsible for syncing iBooks on iPhone and iPad and macOS computers. And it's not about the laziness of Apple developers, but about the invisibility of such mechanisms. It is worth logging into the store and at the same time the iBooks reader from the existing Apple ID account on the iPhone and iPad and that's it - the system will remember recent downloads, figure out which pages the reading ended on, and even transfer each note to the technique where at the moment there was a desire to be inspired by the works classics or modern editions. The main thing is to remember - one Apple ID account for each device and the information will remain in place - and no more experimentation.

How books are loaded

No surprises:

1. Open iBooks from a shortcut on your desktop (or download the reader from the App Store if the tool was inadvertently removed);
2. Explore the available selection and immediately download the literature you like, or use the search or recommendations;
3. After the download is complete, go to the "Library" section and get ready for reading. Information about the work done will immediately appear on other devices.

Working with iBooks is a real pleasure. There are no difficulties neither at the first acquaintance with the system, nor when synchronizing or exchanging information with other smartphones and tablets that are used with the same Apple ID.
