Audio books from Audible won't sync with 10.5

I've recently upgraded from iPhone 3GS to iPhone 4S and upgraded iTune to 10.5. As part of the iTune upgrade I can no longer sync my audio book libary (from Audible) to the iPhone. I've tried moving them into a new playlist, copying them in and out of Books in iTunes, deauthorising my audible account but no joy. I have a work around in that I can use the Audible App on the iPhone but would rather manage all my media via iTunes. Any pointers to sort this out?

HT1848 I downloaded an audio book on computer; won't sync with I-Phone... how do I get it into my I-phone?

I downloaded an audio book to my window's computer from I-Tunes; cannot get it into my I-Phone from sync. How do i do this or is it there and I cannot find it?

How have you tried to sync it ? With the phone connected and selected on the left-hand side of your computer's iTunes, you should be able to use the Books tab on the right-hand side of iTunes to select and sync the audiobook to the phone's Music app - if there are audiobooks on your phone then you should get an Audiobooks option in the Music app.

New songs and new audio book from Audible will not sync from my computer. Any idea why?

I updated my 4S to OS7. I am now unable to sync new songs and new audiobook from Audible from my computer. Any idea why?

Might be incompatible with iOS 7.
Keep in mind, Audible is not Apple software and Apple is not responsible for third party software compatibility.
Check the Audibile website for iOS 7 support.

I have an iPhone 4 and want to download an audiobook from audible.com. My iPhone says safari can't download the item . Why? Also the audible app is for iPhone 5 and above ? Any suggestions ?

Also the audible app is for iPhone 5 and above
According to https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/audiobooks-from-audible/id379693831?mt=8 it only requires iOS 5 or later and it is "optimized" for iPhone 5. I think it will likely work well on your iPhone 4.
Compatibility: Requires iOS 5.0 or later. Compatible with iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. This app is optimized for iPhone 5.

Some videos from Aperture won't sync with iPhone

All the photos from Aperture (about 14,000) sync just fine to my iPhone 4S and my iPad 2, as do 282 of the 289 videos I have in Aperture. However, there are 7 videos that will not sync; after the sync process, iTunes gives me an error message that the video couldn't be synced since they couldn't be played back on the iPhone or iPad. The videos are all 50MB or less, all in the proper .m4v format using the H.264 codec. Other videos taken with the same camera and converted using HandBrake to .m4v using H.264 sync just fine. The videos play back just fine in Aperture, QuickTime, and iTunes.
I have tried removing all photos from the phone and re-adding them. I have tried deleting the "iPod Photo Cache" folder from the Aperture library package. I have reinstalled iTunes. I even tried re-converting them in HandBrake to another .m4v file using H.264 but that wouldn't sync either. No matter what I try, these same 7 videos won't sync for some reason, even though similar videos, some from the same exact camera, converted the same exact way, sync just fine.
Anybody experiencing anything similar? More importantly, anybody have a fix or solution? Thanks in advance!

Looks like its a software issue with the latest Itunes patch. I see several people are reporting this problem on the page and yet no solutions currently exist to address it. I tried several possiblities myself with no success. The only remaining solutions I can see are to "reset" your device and try to sync all appropriate apps, music, photos, etc.. once again. Two wait for the next patch, or three to attempt a recovery from a previous back up on your computer.
I do not have the time currently to attempt the ones I can do. If anyone wishes to try and can report a success I think many of us would appreciate it.

Apps from Itunes won't sync with Itouch

Can someone help on this? My apps to itouch where working fine until I uploaded f W7 OS from Vista. Now the new apps show as grey on the itouch (not bold)and won't sync. If I check the SYNC APPS a warning states all existing apps in the Itouch will be wiped out. What am i missing? Thanks

I took advantage of my one free call to apple support and resolved the problem. If you are having the same problem as above - try the following - turn on Itunes and connect your device.Open file- click "transfer purchases from Itunes"follow the instructionsu - All your apps will now be stored in the library (only the ones you purchased free or paid for, from Itunes)Go to your device open the apps section - they should all show in the left hand side under SYNC APPS in bold. Hope that helps others.

Bought iPhone 3G from friend -- WON'T SYNC WITH WINDOWS 7!!

PLEASE HELP! I have been having multiple problems. I recently purchased a 3G from a friend. I contacted AT&T and notified them of the sale. My phone is working find once I contacted them.
I have a new laptop (see specs below) and installed a new hard drive from Dell on it today. I reinstalled the latest version of iTunes (10.0.1.22). Windows 7 installed all of the drivers for the iPhone from Apple fine and recognizes the hardware.
I attempted to restore the iPhone to it's original settings with success and have the latest iPhone update installed (Version 4.1)
After restoring the iPhone I get two error messages. The first is a message that says that "the iPhone (USER NAME) cannot be synced because of an internal device error" and a second that says that "a folder was specified instead of a file." This was after trying multiple times. Prior to these messages I received error code 1621 and I can't find anything about that online. I have exhausted all my resources at this point.
I have attempted to install it by running as an administrator but to no avail. Any conversation on this matter would be helpful. I heard that I may need a new SIM card that is designed to be used specifically with the iPhone. Could this be my problem...my "internal device error" so to speak??

So, I just picked up the new SIM card from AT&T and I am currently restoring the phone with iTunes. I'm going to take you through my motions....
1.) When restore was complete the iPhone performed a self-restart (which is normal). Remember...using new hard drive, new SIM, USED iPhone (which person originally synced to a Mac).
2.) Selected to set-up as a new iPhone (which is what it will be for me). A back-up does exist, but I don't see how that is possible as I have never had a successful sync on this computer and prior to purchasing this iPhone from a friend I have never plugged up any iPhone to this computer at all (with the old hard drive or the new)! The screen on the iPhone currently shows the charge bar (battery) which is full for the most part.
3.) Prior to syncing as a new iPhone, I deselected all import contact, notes, etc. All selections say NONE. Also, I deslected the option to automatically import all applications.
4.) A bar comes up that simply states "Syncing IPhone" (Whatever happened to the old hourglass? At least you knew something was happening)! So far this is how the process has gone every time. The errors appear at the next step...BTW the iPhone screen does not say "Sync in Progress" which *****...probably means something is trash!!!
5.) It seems to be taking a really long time and I'm starting to get ******...somebody is lying to me...either Apple, Microsoft or Dell.
6.) Here's my wonderful error message: "The iPhone Mia @@$*&$ cannot be synced. An internal device error occurred. Now the iPhone screen says "sync in progress" and the display on iTunes (with error window still up) reads Syncing Mia &^*&&% and "starting Sync" just below that with the normal iTunes progress bar doing it's thing!!
7.) When I close the error window another one is behind it that reads "The iPhone Mia (^(&$%^ cannot be synced. The required file could not be found." Go figure. The iPhone still reads "Sync in Progress" but iTunes shows nothing happening. The capacity (on the lower portion of iTunes) reads exactly half of 4GB is available, but that's all screwy because it's capacity is 14.5 GB or something like that...
8.) After closing the second error window it begins backing up the iPhone. The iPhone itself goes back to the battery level (charging screen). After a while iTunes reads that iPhone sync is complete.
9.) Now my iPhone has been restored and there is no way to sync any data, music, contacts or anything to it. *****!!!!
5.)

I can't get 1 book purchased on itunes to sync to my iphone. Songs from itunes sync and books from audible sync, but this one won't

I purchased a book from the itunes store and I can't get it to sync to my iphone. All the music from the itunes store syncs fine and books from audible sync to my iphone fine. Does anyone know why the book from itunes won't sync?

Check the book's info. Some books are iPad only.

I had purchased an audio book from itunes on my iPad and when I synced my iPad with my computer, my audiobook disappeared. I have already purchased this audiobook, so now I just need to know how to get it back because it is not on iPad anymore.

I had purchased an audio book from itunes on my iPad and when I synced my iPad with my computer, my audiobook disappeared. I have already purchased this audiobook, so now I just need to know how to get it back because it is not on iPad anymore. I don't think the audiobook was backed up to icloud but I have the receipt to prove I purchased it. Is there anyway I can get it back?

"If I purchase an audio book in iTunes on my iPad why can't I listen to it on my Mac? "
You can. Why do you think you cannot?
If you purchased it on your ipad, then you would have to transfer it to your computer. File>Devices>Transfer Purchases.
You can then listen to it on your computer.

After switch from Outlook to Mail, iPhone won't sync with Address Book

Good morning
Using Lion, I recently dropped Outlook 2011 in favor of Mail (did not uninstall though, do not want to).
My problem is this, iTunes and iPhone won't sync with Address Book, they remain stuck on syncing with the Outlook address book. The issue is only for the address book, the iPhone syncs fine with iCal for some reason.
Please help!
Thanks

Hey, I'm Michael and I work for connex.io, an address book app.
Did you try hooking them all up to iCloud? That should do that trick for Address Book and iPhone.
Alternatively, you could try connex.io. You would be able to sync all of your contacts between iPhone, Address Book and Outlook (and more if you want to). It also de-duplicates, cleans, completes and updates your contacts for you. So you jsut connect your services and connex.io takes care of the rest.
If you want to try connex.io, check out: www.connex.io or if you need any more tips: [email protected]
I hope this helped you out.

Those videos are probably not in an iPod-friendly format. It’s picky about that. You can try converting them, if possible.
As for the audiobooks, are you sure they haven’t synced? You’ve enabled it to sync books and checked the “Audiobooks” section of your iPod?

Purchased an audio book from I Tunes and want to download/sync with my I Phone 5...how do it do it?

I purchased an audio book from I tunes and it is in my recent purchases on my Mac Book Pro and I would like to download it to my I Phone 5. How do i do it?

Hello there Michael,
It sounds like you have audiobooks on your computer you want to sync to your iPhone 5. You can do this in the Books tab in iTunes when you have your iPhone connected:
iTunes 11 for Mac: Add iBooks and audiobooks to iPod, iPhone, or iPad
Sync iBooks or audiobooks to your device
Connect your device to your computer and select your device in iTunes.
Click the Books button.
Do either or both of the following:
Sync iBooks: Select Sync Books, then click “All books,” or click “Selected books” and select the iBooks you want to add.
Sync audiobooks: Select Sync Audiobooks, then click “All audiobooks,” or click “Selected audiobooks” and select the audiobooks you want to add.
Click Apply.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Regards,
Sterling
