IOS – Delete book from iBooks Mac when I delete it from iOS

bookscontactsiosiphoneitunes

I sync "All books" from my iOS device (an iPod Touch) and my Mac, in iBooks.

When I delete a book in iOS, it is NOT deleted on my Mac. Instead, in iTunes, the setting changes from sync "All books" to sync "Selected books", with the deleted books unselected.

Instead, I want to keep it to "All books", and delete books I delete on my iOS device to also delete on my Mac.

Is this possible, and if so, how can I do it?

Unfortunately that's not possible. iCloud will auto-download books to Mac-any book you buy on your iPod will pop up on your Mac, and vice-versa. But no, you can't auto-delete books on Mac every time you do so on iPod.

However, you can hide your iCloud-stored titles from appearing on the iBooks shelf.

  1. Select the "All Books" drop-down.

  1. Swipe the "Hide iCloud Books" thing.

You'll end up with this. The shelf's empty because I haven't downloaded any book yet. Redo steps 1 and 2 to make it reappear.

On the Mac, go to iBooks' settings to do the same.
