Syncing ibooks onto iphone 4

Has anyone downloaded books on their ipad but they don't show up on their iphone 4 after syncing? I asked the genius bar and they couldn't give me a suitable answer.

If you downloaded the book directly to the iPad, it won't appear on your iPhone until you sync the iPad to iTunes (if you're not synching automatically, you'll need to use the Transfer Purchases from iPad command) so that the book is then in iTunes, and then sync the book to your iPhone.
Does that help? If not, please explain further your process and situation.
Regards.

TIP FOR SYNC IBOOKS WITH IPHONE (4 AT LEAST but assuming for others too)

having trouble sync your ibooks with ya iphone well here what i did and it seems to have worked
plugged in my iphone 4 into my computer allowed it to sync as normal then go into ibooks tab then de-sync all books msg will appear u will lose all books on iphone do u wish to contintue select yes then await a few mins to allow it to finish
then disconnect device from PC laptop whatever,
shut down itunes relaunch it then re plug your phone in and re-sync with sync ibooks as normal
depending on amount of books u wish to sync they will SLOWLY appear in your iphone
(ive got 208 ibooks it taken it almost 20 mins to do that but my ibooks is yet again filling up with books ive bought (about time))
important dont assume it has sync
KEEP THE PHONE PLUGGED IN EVEN IF ITUNES HAS SAID IT TRANSFERED OVER ..... INSTEAD KEEP CHECKING THE IBOOKS APP FOR CONFIRMATION AS THE PHONE SYNC IS MUCH SLOWER THEN THE INFO .... once all the books u want have synced visually in ibooks app on phone then disconnect
you can also drag the book icon from your itunes lib into the phone but that not 100% garenteed to work as ive found out (20 odd times with ONE book)
i hope that helps now to go off and read that third and final book in the series
sync checked
tea and snacks check
feet up check
" it started as a ..... "

I don't even care at this point. I just need the phone! I'm on a black/crapberry due to selling my 3g. I was really wanting the white, but quite honestly, now I just want a phone, any color...doesn't matter. With all of the drama going on at my BB where I can't even speak the mobile manager as she is "overwhelmed" anything at this point, referring to the phone in my hands is good news for me.
I do hope however that those of you that want the coveted white do get it. After all of this drama, they should make a movie...

ITunes will not sync songs onto iPhone, troubleshooting methods not working

Simply put, songs will not download onto my iPhone. I have tried every method that I could think of to solve this:
-restarting phone and mac
-updating iTunes
-taking off all the music from the phone and redownloading
-rechecking the little check thing that says I want that song
-restoring my phone
-going onto the individual tab to sync and syncing from there(which leads to a whole other problem, because that deletes songs(story for another thread))
-manually dragging songs onto my phone icon dropbox thingy
-making sure the songs are the proper files
... and still nothing has worked.
When I go on my phone menu when its plugged into iTunes, and then go to the 'On Device' section, it shows that the songs are there, but they are faded out with this little circle thing next to them(I don't know if this is significant).
I'm at my wits end, I just don't know what to do. I don't understand why iTunes is refusing to do something as simple as sync songs.
Any ideas? Thank you for any help you can provide!

UPDATE:
I finally figured it out (though I'm not sure this counts as 'figuring it out').
So, what worked for me was unchecking the check box thing next to the song and syncing the phone. After the sync--behold!--, the songs were in my phone. I don't know if this is another glitch or not, but I'm running with it.
I wanted to post the answer so that other people who may have had this issue can hopefully resolve it.

Unable to sync apps onto iPhone 4

Hey guys,
Just recently, I haven't been to sync some of my apps from iTunes on my computer to my iPhone 4. Whenever I try to sync them on, I get a message reading "Unable to install the app "[insert name]" onto the iPhone "[insert name]" because its resources have been modified. I haven't been playing around with any app modifications, and my iPhone is not jailbroken.
I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the apps, and even deleting from the iTunes library and redownloading the apps, but I still keep on getting the same message.
The only way that I am able to get some of these apps onto my iPhone has been to download directly onto my iPhone, but I can't do that with larger apps (200mb+), even with Wifi.
Any help guys?
Thanks in advance.

Does anyone know how to fix this problem? Please?

Can not sync iBooks via iPhone 4S to iPad or iPad to iPhone 4s

Since I updated to the new phone and software iBooks will not sync bookmarks nor book collections between any of my devices [iPad, iPhone 4S]. I have tried reinstalling the software and also playing will all settings on devices. Does anyone have a solution or is this a iCloud issue.

GUYS...! I think i finally found the ANSWER..!
Here's what i did. I first delted my iCloud accound and when promted to keep my icloud stuff on the phonei chose to delete them. NO BIG DEAL..! I'll get them back when i sign in woth that same account again. Which i did. But heres the tricky part..! Yu have to make sure that your iCloud acou t maches the account you have on the appstore or itunes. To do this, you go to: settings / store. And make sure the accounts are the same. It does not makw a difference iftheboom you're readind was. Ot purhase with the currently signed in account. Then you go to iBook (which needs to be closed at the time..! Not minimized) and open ibook. Then open the book you want to read and sync.
At that point what i got was a pop up alert askin if whether or not i wanted to sync he book or not. I selected yes. Then (for the forst time) i get another message telling me that this book has been synced to another user (which the old user that was on my phone before i changed all other users to be just one user.
The message simply asked me wich user did i want to sync my book with and of courze i xhose the user on the iPhone and the iPad loved this approach also.

Syncing songs onto iphone

I have bought songs on itunes, but cannot get them to sync onto my iphone. It tells me that they are not allowed to play on the iphone.

Do you have your songs authorized on more than 5 devices? (This is the most common reason why iTunes won't let songs sync.) If so you need deauthorize a device.

Syncing iMessages onto iPhone

I just got a replacement iPhone, and unfortunately the backup didn't work right (it's a few months out of date). Is there any way to sync the iMessages that are on my computer/iPad but no longer on my iPhone onto my iPhone?
Using an iPhone 5 with iOS 6.1.4
Thanks!

iMessages are only saved in your Backup and not on your computer per say, so there is no way of getting them back after your backup failed

New laptop, iTunes won't sync music onto iPhone 4

I recently got a new laptop (acer) and I wanted to put my music from my phone onto it. I downloaded and installed iTunes, the only songs I had on it were what I brought from iTunes. So I transfered everything from my phone (iPhone 4) onto it. Problem #1. It only transfered the music I had brught from iTunes. No cds I had put onto iTunes transfered. So using a USB, I transferred all of the music I had on my iMac to my my laptop - I put it in the iTunes Media/Music folder of my documents. It didn't go into iTunes, until I dragged it directly from the folder and placed it in iTunes. That was that problem solved. I tried syncing my music and none it it would play. It was all grey writing and had a pink square next to the song name. Nothing worked, excpet for the songs I had brought directly from iTunes. Not even albums I had recently brought and put into my itunes would work.. That was problem #2. Thing is though, after I synced the music onto my, I got a notification on iTunes saying that there were 23 errors and some songs could not be found. These songs were the songs that I brought from iTunes, and could actually play from my phone.
I've tried updating both iTunes and my phone software, turning my phone on and off, deleteing and reinstalling iTunes. Everything I can thinnk of but nothing will work. I really just want to play my music from my phone... It'll play in iTunes, but just not from my phone.
Please help!

this is happening to me as well. I have tried every single "fix" out there that I can find.
I have restored my phone from backups.
I have uninstalled itunes and reinstalled it on my comp
I have restore to factory settings and started from scratch
literally nothing is working.

Can't sync music onto iPhone 4 or 5

A few months ago, I updated my iPhone 4 to ios 6. It wiped out my music library, and I can't get it to sync. I've tried many times to no avail. My daughter got an iPhone 5 for Christmas, and I can't get her music to sync either. We are using iTunes 11. Does anyone know how to fix this?

On a side note, I have had my iPhone for a while now, and up until recently it would sync music fine. Only within the past two or so months did this problem crop up.

Unable to sync music onto iphone despite seeing all my playlists

Hi
I'm unable to sync the music and apps on my iphone. The phone has recently being retored and this was the cause of all my problems
i can see all my music in itunes however I cannot add any songs or edit the playlists.
When I press sync music it does not do anything.
Another odd thing is that I see my phone name however there is also "on this phone" in itunes - and this does not contain any of music and does not allow me to add any music.
please help, how can I get my songs and apps back on my iphone?

Unable to sync music onto iPhone 5

I have just recently received a replacement iPhone 5 from my phone store, however when I have come to restore it from a back up, everything returned to normal apart from my music. I therefore, using my USB cable, connected it into my Apple Mac Air, to try and sync my music this way. All products have the up to date software and all settings are set to sync automatically. I've tried resetting all warnings and cache but this hasn't worked, and I have also manually checked all songs and again this didn't work either. I ensured my wifi was turned off like suggested in previous comments but this isn't working either. I am at my end and starting to get very annoyed!
Please can someone help!!
Software currently
iPhone 5, 16Gb storage, Version 7.1.2

Syncing ringtones onto iphone

i have purchased and edited my ringtones but i am not able to sync them to my iphone. any answers?

Have you reauthorized your computer to play the ringtones? If not, try playing a ringtone from the ringtones icon in the source menu and you should be prompted to re-authorize your computer- that's what I had to do anyway.

How do I sync music onto 3 phones with different iclouds but one apple id and one laptop without any problems, each phone user wants different music???

I have recently uploaded some music onto my laptop from cds onto my itunes library. User 1 (B) is a regular user of itunes and has playlists on his iphone from cds. User 2 (c) wanted like a particular cd on his phone and it synced onto iphone ok from the itunes library, also has never used the laptop before to sync normally uses icloud.
User 1(b) later downloaded 5 cds onto itunes and wanted to sync onto iphone but now cannot get the sync to work, however when you ask what is actually on the phone those cds do feature via itunes but are shown in grey on the screen whereas all the other music on the phone is in black.
FACTs
I only have one laptop and one login on the laptop
All three phones have their own icloud
User 3(K) just uses icloud and doesn't use itunes on the laptop but occasionally buys tracks straight from itunes on her iphone
QUESTION
Does this mean only one user can login/sync to itunes?
What is the solution to this problem so that all 3 users will be able to log on to itunes with the same login on the laptop to sync cds onto iphones?
Would Home Sharing help?
Thanks

You are going to need to change the email address you use with your old ID. Once you have got access to your old account you will then log into both accounts at the same time on your Mac and transfer your data to a single account. We can do this later, but need you to get access to your old account first.
