Had lots of difficulty figuring out how to add a new epub book to my iPhone 3GS after Apple iBooks for Mavericks was introduced. In iTunes I received an alert saying that books have moved to the iBooks application, but I see no feature in iBooks for synching to my phone. Frustrating. In iBooks I tried File > Move books from iTunes but that did not work. I can see the new epub book in iBooks. I just can't get it copied to my phone in iBooks. I tried using mobi and Kindle and encountered a similar fail. Lots of discussion about events content types as it relates to the PharmD site. Lunch: leftovers at desk. Lots of Burchard media coverage work. Lots of vagrant setup troubleshooting with Eric and Kevin. Content and styling work in Drupal: landing pages, Burchard pubs and media coverage. Dinner at home with Patrick: tacos again. Dessert: I brought home slices of chocolate cake with strawberry from J&J Bakery, black russians. Watched Raiders of the Lost Ark via iTunes purchase with Patrick. Patrick had recently purchased the set of 4 films. To watch on my computer in the living room I had to open iTunes, select File > Add to Library..., find the file on Patrick's computer, wait about 10 minutes for it to copy over 802.11g wireless, then play it from my computer in iTunes. Repaired a problem with volumes in CrashPlan. (The usual, recurring problem.) Figured out how to add an epub format ebook to my iPhone 3GS with iBooks and iTunes in Mavericks. The secret is that although the Books item in the Library section disappeared, you can still see books when in iTunes you select your phone. Drag epub files from Finder to iBooks, then switch to iTunes in the Devices section then Books section for the selection and sync. Caught up on journaling.
