If you see Hide iCloud Books, the books you purchased are already being displayed. On your Mac: In the iBooks library, click Sort By, then choose Show iCloud Books. See all books you purchased in the iBooks Store: there i found this (the iCloud Drive stuff is the ticket): it did push me in the direction of using the Help menu in iBooks. i thought for sure this was going to be my ticket to getting my non-iBooks Store epubs and PDFs on my iPhone.
How to show hidden books in ibooks mac#
I found this tutorial here today “ Sync iBooks between your Mac and your iPhone…“. I could see all the books in iBooks on my Mac, but not on my device.
I read through a couple of forums, tried the suggestions and still couldn’t figure it out. However, after I updated my phone and iBooks app about two months ago, I wasn’t able to see any of the books I added, the ones that were not purchased through the iBooks store, on my iPhone. I’m a big reader and do most of my reading from my iPhone 6 plus. With the latest versions of iOS and iBooks, there was a change allowing the iBooks app on your computer sync directly with iCloud, eliminating the need to use iTunes for syncing up your books. It could be a UXD Hack, for the “Hide iCloud Books” to be turned on by default, is probably a decision worth reconsidering. But I figured if I’m having difficulty with this so are some of the people in my audience. This isn’t something I normally blog about.
