![]() ![]() As far as I know, we can’t even turn off the bugging us about that. And yet for Preview Apple tries to force iCloud synching. The very name of the Preview app tells its purpose. For applications where iCloud isn’t wanted, Apple tries to cram it down our throats. What goes into that folder can be synched between all our Macs and iDevices, and accessible in iBooks from each. To make iClouds work right Apple could have an easy-to-locate, auto-synched folder in a sensible place. Why isn’t there simply an iCloud folder with subfolders for various uses?Īll I need to do to read PDFs in the Dropbox app on all my Dropbox-synched devices is place them in an easily located Dropbox folder of my own choice. For applications where iCloud would be helpful Apple either requires USB synch instead (as here), or buries the folder that links via the cloud deep within an obscure series of folders. It almost seems like Apple intends make iCloud a nuisance, so we grow to hate it and label it the “Worst Cloud Service Evah.” In comparison to Dropbox, it is.ġ. This also illustrates that Apple’s iCloud conundrum continues. I’ve got better things to do with that time. Just navigating there would take about a minute and require keeping around a scrap of paper listing all those subfolders. USERNAME>Library>Containers>Data>Documents>iBooks>Books Is Apple serious? It wants me to place an epub to be proofed in: The book will load on the device and add the label of “Proof” to it. Once open you’ll see a new button in the upper right hand corner that is labeled “Devices.” Click this to reveal a list of devices connected to your desktop machine.Ĭheck the box for the device you want synced with the book proof. Plug the device into your computer and open iBooks on the iOS device, and then open the book in iBooks Desktop. Once you’ve added a book to iBooks in Yosemite, it’s time to sync it to an iOS Device. (The Asset Guide says these will be marked with a “Proof” label. Select the book you want and it will be added to OS X iBooks. (To make matters worse, these titles are often given very arbitrary names!) Hopefully this is resolved in future updates… EPUB files outside of this folder will be grayed out and unselectable, but files within this folder can be added. I can only add epub files already put into the iBooks folder on my OS X machine (you can find this folder by navigating to USERNAME>Library>Containers>Data>Documents>iBooks>Books). Here’s the biggest catch I’ve found with this process so far. Once the Advanced menu bar has been added, you can select Advanced, then “add ePub to Library as Proof…” Check the checkbox labeled “Enable Advanced menu in menu bar.” The first step is to open the desktop iBooks app and open the Preferences menu. Here’s how to easily sync and proof books on iOS devices with OS X Yosemite. Today with the release of iBooks Asset Guide 5.2Rev2 (available to users who have access to the iBookstore in iTunes Connect) there’s a new way that will work in Yosemite. Since Yosemite, however, the Book Proofer app has had issues syncing with iOS. Prior to OS X Yosemite, Apple had a standalone app called Book Proofer that EPUB producers could use to test EPUB files on iOS Devices. ![]()
