Good morning, John
I can certainly sympathise with you; I bought an iPad2 Wi-Fi on Saturday, and it's been a nightmare to set it up - perhaps because I'm elderly and not very good on computers.
Anyway, here's a method I stumbled on - It is based on iBooks, and I don't use the sync function. My computer runs Windows 7. And I can give no guarantee that what I'll describe is the best or the official way; it just works for me.
- Make sure you have iBooks installed; you'll have to download it from the iTunes store. When I downloaded mine it took several minutes to start working, and then came to life.
- Install iTunes on your computer.
- Connect your iPad to your computer with the cable. iTunes should open; if not open iTunes yourself
- If you have downloaded ebooks from the iBook store iTunes will open at the Library, though I assume you have your ebooks in other folders.
- Click on Owner's iPad (or whatever you've called your iPad when you registered it) in the panel on the left, and click on the triangle to the left of the name so that it points down. You should see Books as one of the options if you have iBooks installed.
- Another window will open in iTunes on your computer showing what books you have on your iPad.
- Drag and drop the books you want to transfer from the folder on your computer to the iTunes folder.
When you tap on the iBooks icon on your iPad the books will show - or at least they did for me.
I hope this helps, and I apologise if I've made it too simple.
