Calibre/Mac El Capitain

lcutler · 03-05-2016, 02:34 PM

Not sure anyone can help. I have a new MacBook. I am moving from a PC. I have calibre installed and there are books in there. I am lost on how to get the books moved to iBooks (i used to use iTunes but that's no longer an option, I'm told). I think I have the plug ins up and running. iTunes recognizes the iPhone installed but it doesn't have any kind of send to device in Calibre. I've unplugged and closed down and then rebooted. I can't be the only person with this yet I can't seem to find a solution. Unless i am not articulating my actual issue well enough.

Any help you have would be appreciated.

Does this help at all?

Personally, I mostly use Calibre for organising my library and putting books on my Kobo. When I want a book in iBooks on my iPad (eg cookbooks), I just shove the epub into iBooks on my Mac (drag and drop), then tick the appropriate box in iTunes on my Mac so that the book syncs to the iPad. (iTunes > iPad > Books > Sync Books > Selected Books > appropriate tickybox.)

Or you could put it in Dropbox or email it to yourself...
