Anyone know how I can get my PDF's from itunes (newest update) to my ipad?
I can drag epub no problem , but PDF's dont work.

Thanks.
 
iBooks doesnt support pdf's currently, that's why. You need to wait for the update.
 
Isn't it the app update that you're waiting for rather than the iTunes update?

I'd imagine the app will be updated when iOs 4 is out.
 
OP -

Don't feel bad; I also assumed the same thing. It seems very odd to me to separate your company into separate secret divisions that don't know what each other is doing, because then you have different product segments with different functionality.
 
This is iTunes update, not iBooks app update. :rolleyes: PDF will be supported in iBooks 1.1. iTunes != iBooks.

Steve clearly revealed to the whole world that this would be in the iBooks update, not theitunes update. It is not half anything if it was not meant to do what you think in the first place.

Stupid.

Not secret at all. They announced it before the whole world. This would be an iBooks update. Don't blame others because you failed to pay attention.

Who's this Steve guy? Why didn't they update iBooks and iTunes concurrently so things actually work? Too logical I guess.

Because it makes logical sense to update iBooks and iOS concurrently. Is it so hard to comprehend when people like Steve lay things out clearly?

A thread complaining that iBooks hasn't shipped with the new iTunes when this was never promised, rofl.
 
Apple today released iTunes 9.2 via Software Update and the company's website, bringing support for iPhone 4 and iOS 4 features, as well as several other enhancements.
iTunes 9.2 comes with several new features and improvements, including:

- Sync with iPhone 4 to enjoy your favorite music, movies, TV shows, books and more on-the-go

- Sync and read books with iPhone or iPod touch with iOS 4 and iBooks 1.1

- Organize and sync PDF documents as books. Read PDFs with iBooks 1.1 on iPad and any iPhone or iPod touch with iOS 4

- Organize your apps on your iOS 4 home screens into folders using iTunes
- Faster back-ups while syncing an iPhone or iPod touch with iOS 4

- Album artwork improvements make artwork appear more quickly when exploring your library

The update also brings several security fixes, as detailed in an associated support document.

A beta version of iTunes 9.2 was seeded to developers at last week's Worldwide Developers Conference in order to support the new iOS 4 gold master candidate released at the event.

That's what confused people probably...
 
i cant wait to put all the books i torrented (already own hardcopies) into ibooks, without painfully trying to convert them to epub.
does anyone know if the pdf's will get the same UI as the books bought from the ibooks store?
i love the page turning:D
