All audiobooks will no longer sync on iPhone.

I have used the iphone to listen to my audiobooks since I got my first iphone. Lately (out of the 300 plus) books I have, only about 6 will sync. I can check them and it stays checked but they will not transfer. This included some of the ones that I have had on it before. I have even tried to sync all audio books, but only the same few will transfer. During transfer there is no mention of the checked (and applied) books (changes).
I have latest update (from today) on my phone and latest itunes. I have also done a hard reset AND restore on my phone. Any ideas?

Hmmm. Are you sure you have six books selected? Generally when you set Selected audiobooks and have an item checked in the Audiobooks list, the tracks to sync will appear in the Parts list. Here I've checked The Affair, and the Parts list shows what will sync:
I don't see anything in the Parts panel in your screenshot, so that strikes me as suspicious. Do you by any chance have the Sync only checked songs and videos option set on the Summary panel?
And then have your audiobooks unchecked? Here I've unchecked Hunger Games and Pronto because I've listened to them, and don't want them to sync to my iPhone anymore:
The checked tracks are still eligible to sync; the unchecked tracks won't sync, no matter what I do in the Audiobooks sync settings section.
HTH!

Another major Apple mistake - Outlook will no longer sync to iPhone 4

I have had my iPhone4 for almost a month now and it has os4.0.1 firmware. And my PC is running XP Pro with all updates as well as iTunes 9.2.1.5.
After missing several important meetings, I realized that changes made on either the iP4 or PC were NOT being synced. (And I thought it was just me forgetting to put stuff in Outlook or on the iP4.)
This has really put back my fear factor in Apple's ability to understand and support the business community properly. They had this problem back on iP3g with v2.2 firmware, but it was fixed. I began to rely on sync 100% for everything again.
Now, it's all gone down the tubes again. I've noticed the following:
1) any changes made to Outlook on PC or iP4 are not being synced on the other
2) many pictures on existing contacts have dissappeared on the iP4
3) pictures added back on iP4 frequently dissappear again after a sync
4) adding or changing contact pictures on PC are not synced to iP4 and existing picture is removed
I don't know if it's iTunes or the iPhone software. BTW, I installed os4.0.1 on my old iPhone3g and tried to sync. Guess what? It doesn't work.
However, I remember really giving the new iP4 (os4.0) a pretty good going over when I got it to make sure that things synced properly and I felt confident that nothing was broken. But since then I've updated to os4.0.1 and at least one update of iTunes since then.

Yes, I did read the title.
The sync was working between Outlook and the iPhone at one point.
The Apple supplied SW (OS and iTunes) changed, and the sync stopped working. If Outlook had changed, that probably would be where the fault lies, but because it’s the Apple supplied SW that changed and the sync stopped working, that’s the most likely cause of the problem.
Simple troubleshooting logic.
Notice that the OP did a further testing where he/she rolled back to an older version of iTunes, and the sync works with that version. A later version of the same (Apple) SW does not.
Fair enough. But at the same time, I have the lastest itunes version and the lastest ip4 OS and I am syncing my outlook with no problems. Maybe the OP's computer downloaded the lastest version of itunes incorrectly. Granted, I am not an expect in all these hardware/software technologies. I am just saying that the problems he/she was having could lie elsewhere and not with Apple.
Yeah, it's certainly possible, but given the situation, and the testing that the OP has done, not likely.
I just want Apple’s products to work. And I really don’t understand why some people can’t seem to deal with the fact that Outlook synchronisation is crucial.
Everybody want what they purchase to work. I could see their frustration when something does not work. People should come into these forums asking for help. It does not do any good to whine or play the blaming game. Like John said, we are getting tired of people complaining and whining about their products not working. If they have a problem, post the problem and we will try to help.
And, yes, I agree, people do come on here and complain, sometimes quite rationally, sometimes not. It's better to just state the problem and ask for help. The OP sort of did that, but the title was a bit inflammatory. I'd have probably titled it "iPhone 4 will no longer sync to Outlook", and left off the editorial at the beginning.
There's a level of frustration that can creep in here, of course. When something works fine for a long time and then suddenly stops working, (and especially if you miss business calls because of that problem) - it can push people over the edge.
I hope that this synchronisation issue does get fixed. I'd love to log in to the board one day and see that people have downloaded a new update (either to iOS or iTunes) and that they can now reliably connect between Outlook and their phone.

IPad will no longer sync with iPhone when using iMessages

I'm not sure what happened but my iPad no longer syncing iMessages with my iPhone. All have been signed in with Apple ID, all have the same telephone number and email address selected. I'm at loss what to do. Any suggestions?

I am having the same issue with my ipad 3 with retina display and my iphone 5 (both iOS 8.1.2). Text messages received on my iphone will be forwarded to my ipad, however imessages will not. Also, some contacts that i can Imessage on my iphone (blue contacts) show up as grey, red or green on my ipad and it wont allow me to imessage them anymore.
I have tired all of the apple support remedies to no avail, including a full reset of both devices. No luck yet. I hope someone can figure this out for both our sakes.

TS2481 Outlook 2007 Calendar will no longer sync with iPhone 4S.

Outlook 2007 has synced perfectly with my iPhone 4s for over a year but suddenly the calendar will not sync while contacts does. Microsoft says it is either the itunes (have uninstalled & reinstalled twice) or a problem with the pst file. Any solutions?

Have you run scanpst.exe? That file is in the Microsoft Office folder. That does a scan of your Outlook.pst file and can help fix problems. Can you remember what you were doing when the problem began. Many times recurring appointments with open end dates can cause problems. Another thing that Outlook/Apple do not like too well are the way you set a reminder in an appointment. If you have an appointment with a reminder that is set to zero in Outlook, it can confuse the Apple calendar. Another thing to check is in iTunes, and that is resetting the sync history.
Also, you should not have to re-enter years of data, since the iPhone by default only syncs the last 30 days worth of data. Your archive generally is just resident on the computer. Once data goes to archive, it is removed from the phone due to the time period.
Try creating a new calendar in Outlook and put a couple of dummy appointments in it. Connect the iPhone to iTunes and set iTunes to sync all calendars. See if this new calendar syncs. If it does, you can import all of your old calendar data as Lawrence states to the new calendar and make that your default calendar by deleting the old one.
See if any of these steps helps.

Purchased Songs from iTunes will no longer sync to iPhone 4s.. any help on this ?

. All that music is in Music library on iTunes and plays well has been purchased with the same Apple id. On Windows -7, iTunes 10.5.
. Under previous purchased icon on iTunes all music shows downloaded.
. Unchecked music Sync from iTunes > removed all songs from the phone.
. Tried syncing manually just 1 song and got the same error "1 item could not be synced check iTunes for explanation " and there is no message on iTunes.
. We deleted all the Songs from iTunes and now re-adding.
. If this does not work then I will be testing with re-creating a new Library and testing in a new user account..
Does anyone have a better idea...?

Hi firmflange,
That definitely sounds frustrating! I have actually encountered this same behavior in the past, and switching out the USB to 30-pin cable was the resolution (hardware issue with the cable). Does the same behavior occur when you use a different cable?
If so, we may need to troubleshoot the USB connection on your computer. Refer to this article:

ITunes removed contacts from iPhone and will no longer sync

iTunes 10 on OS X Lion removed all my contacts from my iPhone 3G and will no longer sync them. I had about 500 contacts, I'm not about to enter them manually. Now I have no idea who is calling or texting. This is absolutely ridiculous! There is absolutely no support!

If iTunes will not sync contacts to your iPhone4...
Go to
Settings
Main, contacts etc.
scroll down to "Contacts"
under "contacts you see a list. Choose the menu "Default Account"
You will see a choice between "From My Mac" and "iCloud"...select "From my Mac"
This solution worked for me!

Guys, I found another user and what he said to do worked!!! I have copied the information below:
This was 1 of the things that happend to me too, the other one was that at the bottom of the itunes page were it says all the memory info, it marked that I had over 3gb of other memory wich I didn't.
Anyways what I did was to unmark the calendar, contacts etc. ( so that they wont sync with the computer ), pressed apply, then I marked all of them again, apply again and for last I pressed Sync wich is at the bottom right coner by the apply botton.
I'm not sure that had anything to do with it but it worked, my music appeard both of my itunes playlists and the ones I bought in itunes. Also the other memory dissapeard and it's all good.
I'm not sure this will help you but thats my 5 cents, if the problem continues its better to call customer service and ask for a technician.
Hope your problem gets solved. Have a nice day.

IPhone 5s will no longer sync to iTunes now that I download iOS 8.1.2

iPhone 5s will no longer sync to iTunes now that I downloaded iOS 8.1.2 I get the message that it "failed to sync because the sync failed to start." Doesn't work with cable or over WiFi. Anyone else having this problem? Any suggestions?

Before connecting your device to iTunes to sync, double-click the Home button, and close all open apps by sliding up on the thumbnails until all open apps are closed. Then try the sync again.
Cheers,

ICal will no longer sync with macmini still syncs with iPhone, iPod and another mac...what happened?

iCal will no longer sync with wife's mac mini. It works with our iPhone, iPod and and older G5 tower. I am using an iMac. Nothing shows up on the mobile me calendar in her office. I have been unable to get the shared calendar to open on her machine. All had been well until yesterday.
Thanks for any help.

I did restore from back-up as well. And I had thought of restoring my iPod to factory settings however...I just got my mother-in-law's old iPhone 3GS. Upon getting it from her I restored it to factory settings. After having the problems tonight syncing my iPod to iTunes I tried syncing the iPhone. It started out fine, showing it as a new device and setting it up. It shows both devices on my iTunes and then when I went to sync it I got the error message that none of the songs could be copied from my iTunes because they could not be found. But they all clearly show up in my iTunes. I had done this before when I was having the issue with my books and then I had deleted them all from iTunes and readded a few that I wanted to put on my iPod and it still wouldn't sync them. So I really don't want to take absolutely everything off my iPod and restore it to factory only to be unable to add anything from my iTunes ever again as is the case with the iPhone.

After 5.0.1 update on iPhone 4 my phone will no longer sync.

After 5.0.1 update on iPhone 4 my phone will no longer sync. Keeps sitting there says "waiting for sync to start". Any ideas? It was fine before the update. I tried truning off the cloud but it made no difference. Tried on a different computer. Same thing.

I finally worked around Apple's problem. I synced my iPhone 4 phone with another computer. Lost my apps and music on the phone but still had my music database of almost 3,000 tunes. I then synced with another computer with the updated iTunes software they just sent out. Then had to rebuild my apps and music on the phone. I used Tune-Up plug-in to help with the music with covers and dupes, etc. It took me till 1 am last night but it's now working and syncing ok. I have about 1,000 tunes on the phone now, with no dupes and 95% of the cover artwork. Without Tune-Up it would take me a week to get the dupes out and covers for all the albums. I think the problems started when Apple tried to send the update directly to the iPhone rather than thru iTunes like they had always done before. I turned off the cloud and am syncing and backing up with my computer and home sharing is turned off. That method worked very well for the last few years. It seems like the combination of home sharing, the cloud and 5.0.1 software caused a lot of problems. Hopefully I have it under control now, or at least until the next software update. It was a major pita.

TS3697 I am receiving an error message(iTunes will no longer sync photos to the iPhone "Peter's iPhone". Do you want to keep or remove photos previously synced to your iPhone") I am trying to download pics from my computer to my iPhone. Any ideas? Peter

When I went to download some pics (originally taken with my iphone 4S) from my computer back to my iPhone I got the following error message: "iTunes will no longer sync photos to the iPhone "Peter's iPhone". Do you want to keep or remove photos previosly synced to your iPhone?"
Coincidentally, my wife just purchased an iPhone 4S and syncs to iTunes on the same computer.
Any ideas?
Peter

The "best" way to handle it, if you want to keep everything separate, is to create separate user accounts on the computer. make sure you log into your account on the computer before you attempt to sync your phone and log out when you're done using the computer.
Though it's possible to sync both of them to the same iTunes library, and even share an account for the iTunes store, you're inviting confusion and possible data loss (as you've discovered already). Best to just use separate user accounts on the computer. That also gives you the benefit of not polluting the other persons browser favorites, contacts, etc.

My ipod nano will no longer sync with itunes since i have purchased an iphone 4s and synced it with itunes.

My ipod nano will no longer sync with itunes since i purchased an iphone 4s and synced the phone with itunes. When I plug my ipod into my imac, it does not even read or recognize my ipod. What do i do?

Are you using the original cable that came with Nano and not your iPhone's cable? Have you worked through the troubleshooting in this Apple support document?
