I'm trying to move some ebooks from my desktop computer to my iPad, and if I plug in the iPad to the desktop, nothing happens. It doesn't show up anywhere, in iTunes, on the desktop, or anywhere else. How can I move the files to my iPad?
Mac mini, macOS 14.5
That helped. I'd done that before, but this time it worked. I plugged it into a direct USB port -as opposed to a hub-on the computer, the iPad came up in the Finder sidebar, but then there was a new problem: the "contents" area of the iPad is greyed out, and if I try to "sync" my books on the iPad/computer with the computer/iPad, according to the "sync" instructions, "Are you sure you want to remove existing music, movies, tv shows and books from this iPad and sync..."-which I definitely don't want to do. This is getting pretty negative and complicated. What is going on?
Since I'm not using Sonoma, I can't offer any specific advice, but you can also refer to Sync books between your Mac and iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch for additional information.
No "Device" appears in my iTunes list
