Apple: Finally addressing iBooks in the right direction: iCloud iBook sync!

iBooks cloud support. Update: It does not look like they did much to help most of the users.

 Had not read anywhere about this functionality; even though some of my sources reported it.

But it could start to become the productivity tool and many schools and businesses could start benefiting from it.

iBooks was a pain and still is a pain. No extensions allow to make better use of the pdfs and other free epubs available.

Now today, I just found out that iBooks offers me to upload my pdfs and epubs into iCloud. This is grand and if they allow me to modify my stuff with pdf editors then I'm in heaven. (Looks like it's too soon.)

Apple: Home Sharing: iOS 9.2 - don't loose as much time as I did and add a single song to the iPhone/iPod/iPad and it works

You got a family at home and a central iMac where you store all your music?

I also make use of an Apple TV and since we all are now on iOS 9.2, except the old iPods we could never actually use the home sharing feature for music.

Not me on my iPhone 6S Plus not on the older phones etc. Never did I find the option to actually play something over home sharing. Apple TV always worked.

I spent too much time addressing the issue and hope that you won't.

Load a single song or album onto the device and then you can select the home share option and you're good to go.

Home Sharing option is then at the bottom as shown by Appleinsider on the right side of the picture.
