Updates to Connect and Secure Your iPhone and iPad for iOS 13.1 and iPadOS 13.1

Thanks for purchasing Connect and Secure Your iPhone and iPad for iOS 13.1 and iPadOS 13.1! The current version is 1.0.3 (released September 26, 2019).

Please don't share this page or the password, as it's intended only for buyers of the book to get updated versions or to re-download.

To load any of those files on your iPhone or iPad, simply tap the link and the appropriate app should open or iOS/iPadOS will use its native viewer. If the appropriate app doesn’t open, tap the Share button, and then select iBooks, Kindle, or another reader app to transfer the ebook file.

If you’re viewing this page on a Mac and want to transfer one of the above files to iOS or iPadOS, you can try any of the following:

  • For PDFs, use iCloud Drive.
  • For EPUB, import the file into iBooks with iCloud sync turned on, and the file will also be available after it uploads in iBooks in iOS or iPadOS.
  • For MOBI, import the file into the Kindle Reader for macOS, and the file will sync with your Kindle collection, so you can access it from Kindle for iOS or iPadOS. You can also “side load” the file by connecting a Kindle reader via USB to a Mac, and copying the MOBI file to the appropriate location on the device.

You can also follow these steps:

  1. Download any of the formats above.
  2. In the Finder, select the file.
  3. Right-click on the file and select Share.
  4. From Share, select AirDrop, and then select your iPhone or iPad. (Make sure AirDrop is turned on in Control Center in iOS or iPadOS.)
  5. On your iPhone or iPad, you may be prompted to approve the transfer. Tap Allow.

Select the app you want the ebook file opened in, and you’re done!
