Why do books sort correctly in iTunes but not in iBooks?

I've filled in all necessary info on the sorting tab and, while all my books sort perfectly in iTunes, on syncing my iPhone and iPad, iBooks does not display the books in the correct order no matter what selections are made.
My intent is to have the books in my library, be grouped together by series and displayed in the correct order one would read the series.  I'm using Sort Name with a series name and series position designation number along with Sort Author as Last, First.  But no luck.  I've tried reading through other threads and have yet to come upon a fix. Any suggestions?
Thanks.

The organizing capabilities of iBooks are described in this Apple note in the Features section:

  • I purchased a book on itunes.  It shoes up in itunes but not in ibook on my ipod touch.  I tried rebooting, syncing, updating.  Nothing works.  Can anyone help me?

    A book I purchased from itunes store downloaded OK and shows up on my PC but does not show up in ibooks on my ipod touch.  I tried manually syncing and rebooting which did not help.  From the pc in the itunes store the book shows up in the purchased list.  From the ipod, the purchased list from the store is empty.  Actually, the book does not exist when trying to search for it at the store from the ipod.  I'm confused.  Any solution or suggestion?

    The book is in ibooks format.  The extension is ".ibooks".  I did delete it from itunes and download it again from the store a few times.  I tried updating my ibooks app.  I even sent it to the ipod through dropbox.  I looked through all the settings I could find in itunes and ipod.  So far no matter what I do, ibooks does not see this book.

  • Why does windows have 64-bit iTunes but not mac?

    I can't believe it. I searched the archives here and someone said because most people don't have 64-bit compatible machines. Then why does Windows get separate versions but not the native OS?
    I'm running audio hardware optimized for 64-bit (drivers) but the sound quality of iTunes is worse in 64-bit than in 32-bit.
    Anyone have any knowledge when 64-bit is going to be released?

    iTunes is only 32 bit for Windows OS and Mac OS.
    The 64bit version for Windows simply includes 64 bit drivers. The application itself is only 32 bit.

  • Trimmed podcasts play correctly in iTunes but not on ipod shuffle

    There's some short podcasts from NPR that have commercials at both the beginning and end. They're almost as long as the main content. I've been able to use the "Batch Trim Start or Stop Time (Seconds)" script from Doug's Applescripts for Itunes website to trim 15-20 seconds off the start and stop times. It works when I play them in iTunes, the podcasts start and stop exactly where they're set. But if I sync these trimmed podcasts to my iPod Shuffle then either the start or end time is ignored, or the podcast just abruptly ends in the middle.
    Any ideas what's happening?

    Anyone know why the start and stop times aren't respected on the ipod but are in iTunes when using the batch trim script?

  • HT4059 why can you browse, and buys books from itunes but not read them on my iMac?  Pretty lame I think. my kindle show up across all my computers, iPhones and Android devices no problem.

    just wondering why you can browse, buy on itunes but not read on an imac. My kindle apps work on the imac, ipod, asus netbook, iphone and android devices.  Why not ibooks on imac?

    "just wondering why you can browse, buy on itunes but not read on an imac. "
    Because Apple does not make an ibook reader for computers.

    If it's an Audiobook, then it's probably in the Audiobook section of your iPhone. Have you set your iTunes to Sync Audiobooks with your iPhone?
    Alternatively, if the Audiobook was imported into your iTunes Library as as Music, then it's going to be in the Music section of your iPhone. If so, then it will be in the Music section of your iTunes Library. To move it to the Audiobooks section, select it in the Library and choose File/Get Info/Options>Media Kind where you can change it.
    You can change it to a Podcast, but since something is only a Podcast if it is delivered to your iTunes as a Podcast download (which is a process for delivering files without you having to go and find them), then your audiobook is not a Podcast and you may forget (in the future) how you obtained the book in the first place

  • Why is Codename Kids Next door series 1-5 available to buy in United States Itunes but not United Kingdom Itunes?

    I hope you can help me.
    I purchase songs/programmes fro UK itunes store, and I am interested in buying the Codename Kids Next Door series. I have seen on the UK Itunes that Series 6 is available for purchase, but not any of the other series.
    I am interested in buying them, so I hope you can tell me why series 6 is available for purchase but not the others?
    Many Thanks

    Because whomever owns the U.K. distribution rights to that series has not provided/allowed itunes to sell it yet.

  • Airplay works fine in iTunes but not from the menu why?

    Hi Guys,
    I have read so many answers to the question about Airplay not working both here and the internet.
    Can someone give me the definative answer why I can Airplay from iTunes but not from the Macbook Pro itself i.e. no menu icon or setting to mirror.
    Everyone seems to say its the age of the computer or its the firewall or the wind is blowing in the wrong direction.
    Why if I can do it oneway (iTunes), I can not do it directly?
    I am using a 2011 macbook pro 10.9.3 and a apple tv 3.
    Is there a hack or work around with out purchasing more software.
    Thanks

    Hey Beauvoir17,
    Thanks for the question. Based on the information you have provided, I can conclude that your MacBook is indeed compatible with AirPlay Mirroring, as outlined in the following resource:
    About AirPlay Mirroring in OS X
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5404
    AirPlay Mirroring in OS X takes advantage of the hardware capabilities of recent Macs to deliver high frame rates while maintaining optimal system performance. The following Mac models support AirPlay Mirroring when using OS X Mountain Lion or later:
    - iMac (Mid 2011 or newer)
    - Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer)
    - MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer)
    - MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer)
    - Mac Pro (Late 2013 or newer)
    If you are experiencing issues with AirPlay mirroring, I would recommend the troubleshooting steps outlines at the bottom of the article.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • There were some updates on my Apps.  I updated them on my iTunes but my iPad did not get the same downloads/updates thru iCloud.  Does the iCloud only works for "New" Apps or Books downloaded from the store but not the "Updates"?

    There were some updates on my Apps.  I updated them on my iTunes but my iPad did not get the same downloads/updates thru iCloud.  Does the iCloud only works for "New" Apps or Books downloaded from the store but not the "Updates"?

    Purchased music does not count against your iCloud storage and you cannot get rid of them in the purchased tab.
    What is backed up
    You get unlimited free storage for:
    Purchased music, movies, TV shows, apps, and books
    Notes: Backup of purchased music is not available in all countries. Backups of purchased movies and TV shows are U.S. only. Previous purchases may not be restored if they are no longer in the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBookstore.
    Some previously purchased movies may not be available in iTunes in the Cloud. These movies will indicate that they are not available in iTunes in the Cloud on their product details page in the iTunes Store. Previous purchases may be unavailable if they have been refunded or are no longer available in the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBookstore.
    Look here for help on managing iCloud storage.

  • I need to get a refund on an audio book I bought from itunes but I cannot find it on my purchased list on my account.  Where do I do this?

    I need to get a refund on an audio book I bought from itunes but I cannot find it on my purchased list on my account.  Where do I do this?

    If you downloaded it on your Mac's iTunes then it should be in the Books part of your library (Audiobooks if you are using OS X Mavericks), if on an iOS device then it should be in the device's Music app.
    By 'purchased list' you mean yoru purchase history or the Purchased link for redownloading ? If the latter then audiobooks are a one-time only download from the store so they won't show in Purchased for redownloading, you need to copy or sync it to the computers or iOS devices that you want it on.

  • Music video plays in itunes but not on ipod

    hi
    like my subject line states, i transferred a whole bunch of music videos off of dvd into mp4 format using videora.
    they play in itunes but not on my ipod.
    i transferred about 400 or so at the same time to ipod do you think that's why most of them won't play ?
    should i do it one by one ?
    thanks.

    it's more than just the mp4 format. They need to be encoded correctly with the right dimensions and other attributes as well. I don't bother with this sort of thing right now. If there is anyone who has these specs, just post them here. Otherwise, you can always google them or search these boards for the proper format/size/encoding.

  • My Gen 7 ipod is detected by itunes but not properly recognized

    My gen 7 ipod is detected by itunes but not properly recognized.  I have reloaded itunes and other trouble shooting, but no luck

    Suggest you try the following two steps starting with the first one. If it doesn't correct the problem perform the second step.
    Restart iPhone: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider to turn off iPhone. To turn iPhone back on, press and hold the Sleep/Wake until the Apple logo appears.
    Reset iPhone: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
