iPhone, iPad and Mac Apps Sync

Can iBooks and Apple Notes sync across all Apple devices? Well - almost and No. I save reports and tech articles that are PDF docs on the iPad so it is mobile and convenient in the car or on the beach. However, even though the app exists on the Mac and the iPad, Apple suggests the PDF be downloaded separately to each device. Solution: instead of iBooks - use Pocket (Read it Later).

Similarly, Apple's recent upgrade to the latest iOS 9 and OS El Capitan 10.11 has create an inability to sync Apple Notes across devices. Solution: install Wunderlist app in mobile device and use Wunderlist website for the Mac. 

One big benefit of this approach for drive space limited Macs is that this approach does not require space utilization on computer since you're using the web versus installed app.
