Books and Movies not Synced to iPhone

I used to sync some PDFs from my PC (iTunes) to my iPhone 3GS and there was no issues.
However, after I run the sync today, the PDFs are disappear on my phone. They are still in my iTunes' LIBRARY->Books. All checked.
During the sync process, I can see the PDFs are being copied to the phone. But in my phone's iBooks, there is nothing.
Same situation when I try to sync a movie clip to my phone.
I added the movie clip (mp4) into the library, it appears in my iTunes' LIBRARY->Movies, checked.
But when I launch the player on my phone, there is no content (I do not have any other song on my phone).
Any idea?

My problem is similar. I had a few dozen songs I'd bought over the years that showed up this morning as "ringtone eligible". Then I bought two new ones. Everything downloaded correctly. Then I realized that I couldn't 'edit' the ringtone because my laptop's sound ports don't work any more, so I copied the two new songs to a Mac at work, and "authorized" that Mac to play the songs. That all worked fine, but suddenly the ringtone icon was gone from the newly downloaded songs. Then, when I looked at my laptop on the adjoining desk, ALL the ringtone icons had disappeared from my previously purchased songs and the two new ones. Now I can't find any way to get the ringtone icons back, and therefore I can't make any ringtones at all (even though I had dozens of eligible songs only moments before!). I also noticed that, on the laptop, there is an icon in the left-hand list for Ringtones (under Music, iTunes Store, etc.) but on the desktop computer (running the exact same version of iTunes - 7.4.1 (2)) there is no such icon. The songs play on both computers, but there are no ringtone icons anywhere (the column is visible, but empty). Any ideas?

  • Address book does not launch and does not sync to iphone

    When I had upgraded to 10.5.4, the permissions from my user profile got corrupted. Since then I have created another profile and rebuilt permissions. Now the address book is not launching, it just bounces in the dock and nothing happens. Also when I try to sync my iphone i get an error saying i don't have permissions to carry out a operation and it quits out. i think it has to do with the address book not launching. Is this a permissions problem or another quirky thing because of this 10.5 OS??
    Thanks in advance

    I'm not sure what you mean by your "user profile." Do you mean you recreated a new user account along with a new home folder?
    If you create a second account, can you launch the Address Book from that one?
    If you cannot launch Address Book at all, you may need to reinstall OS X.

  • ICloud Address Book and Calendar not syncing. Missing and duplicate entries. Help.

    I have duplicate entries in Address Book. I have missing entries on other devices. For calendar it just doesn't sync.
    What I've done to try to fix it:
    1) I signed out of all my devices from iCloud and MobileMe.
    2) I then deleted all the the cache files in Library and any iCloud folders I could
    3) I deleted all the address book and calendar entries on each device.
    4) Went back and deleted anything in Library and caches.
    5) I looked at iClould.com and confirmed they had entries in Address Book and Calendar.
    6) Signed back into iCloud on each device.
    7) All the devices then began to populate.
    Trouble began:
    1) Some Address Book entries are missing on devices.
    2) iClould has multiple entries for the very missing contacts! All cutting off the notes field at different places!
    3) It won't sync the missing contacts present on iCloud but not the device.
    Help.

    Solved it myself. What I did:
    1) I have four Lion OS and two iOS devices.
    2) I kept one computer with the complete address book I wanted to start with but disconnecting it from iCloud's Contact sync via Apple Menu > System Preferences > iCloud uncheck Contact Sync
    3) Logged into iCloud.com and deleted all the contacts and groups manually ( many keyboard shortcuts worked )
    4) On the main computer, using textedit, I replaced semicolons I was using to delimit items in the notes field with backslashes.
    5) Once I confirmed all the other computers and devices had no entries in Address Book, on the main computer I turned back on iCloud Contact syncing. It worked. Correct count of entries and no more breaking notes at the semicolons!
    6) Immediately all the other iCloud computers and devices updated to the correct notes! Finally.

  • What do I do about contacts and groups not synced from iPhone to iCloud?

    I've been syncing my contacts with my Mac (Snow Leopard, not Lion) via iTunes for years now. It's worked well enough, but I don't sync with my Mac that often (typically weeks between syncs), so I've worried a little bit about losing data entered on my iPhone before it gets on my Mac.
    Before: Mac <-iTunes contacts sync-> iPhone
    A week or so ago I backed up contacts, calendars and my whole iPhone (and my Mac) then upgraded my iPhone to iOS 5. It took a while (hours) but seemed to work.
    Then I set up iCloud contact syncing.
    What I intended: Mac <-iTunes contacts sync-> iPhone <-iCloud contacts sync-> iCloud
    After setting up iCloud contact sync, the trouble began.
    I looked at my iPhone contacts and saw that instead of the half dozen groups they were organized into before, they were all in one iCloud group. I found I could make new groups and assign contacts to them on iCloud and they'd sync, but I'm not interested in redoing work organizing hundreds of contacts that iOS and iCloud lost for me.
    Shortly I discovered that some contacts were just missing. Poof. Gone after the iCloud sync.
    I've hesitated before syncing with my Mac again. I don't want to have the messed up groups and the deleted contacts propogate back to my Mac.
    I've also hesitated because I don't see a way to disable iTunes contact syncing before actually plugging in my iPhone — the options for managing what gets synced only seem to appear when the iPhone is connected, and sync starts automatically.
    Suggestions for how to proceed?
    Thanks!

    I found out how to disable automatic syncing:
    In the device’s Summary pane, you can set iTunes to automatically sync your device when it’s attached to your computer. To temporarily override this setting, hold down Command and Option (Mac) or Shift and Control (PC) until you see your iPhone appear in the sidebar.
    I'm still looking for suggestions about how to proceed to get contacts with groups synced.
    Thanks again!

  • Address book and calendar not syncing correctly. Events are being duplicated in the calendar, or disappearing totally, and the addresses are not updating.

    I've been having problems with my calendar recently.  Events I've listed are disappearing, without my having deleted them.  And when I update my addresses in my computer, my  iphone doesn't update when it is synced.  Any ideas what could be causing this?  I have an iphone 4, and have updated to ios5.  The problem with my calendar started before changing to ios5, I'm not sure about the problem with my addresses, I've just realized it.

    Okay--I'll try this, but before I do, can you answer another question?
    When I deselect the box next to contacts on system preferences > iCloud, I get a scary air message that says, "Do you want to keep a copy of your iCloud contacts on this Mac? If you don't keep a copy, iCloud contacts will be removed from this mac but will still be available on other devices using iCloud."
    My mac has all of my contacts, but there are some that are not on my iPhone (Chistmas card list). Will I lose the contacts that are not backed up on my iPhone?
    Should I select "Delete from Mac" or "Keep Contacts"?
    Similar air message with calendars, so I assume whatever I do with contacts will be the same as calendars.
    Thank you so much for your help--this has been so confusing for me!! I"m sure this has been discussed over and over and I looked through the messages to find a solution, but just got more confused.

  • Entourage and iCal not syncing with iPhone

    I have been having a problem lately. I get many calendar entries over email from my parents and I get them on my phone with only the name of it as the subject of the email and I can't approve it over my phone. One of my questions is am I able to approve or deny them over my phone and then sync it to my computer? Also my MobileMe free trial expired and I don't want to purchase a real trial. My calendar entries will not sync to my phone for some reason. I have iCal and Entourage synced but it won't go onto my phone. And when I plug my phone into my computer to sync, it only says my calendar can be synced with MoblieMe and won't give me an option to change it. (Extra info: I have a second generation iPhone)
    Thank you so much and I hope people are able to help me.
    Cheers.

    So I got on the phone with APP today and it turns out iCal was pretty messed up.
    A bunch of the files for iCal were missing (com.apple.iCal.plist) and such.
    Simple solution in the end:
    Completely delete iCal (delete the icon from your applications folder) and reinstall iCal using your latest operating system disk (in my case, the OS X 10.5 disk). All my calendars, etc, where happily there after I reinstalled iCal.

  • Calendars and Contacts not syncing between iPhone and Mac

    Hello.
    I am using a MacPro4,1 (early 2009) running OS X 10.9.1, and an iPhone 4 running iOS 7.0.4.
    In iPhone, Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Calendars Settings are set to: Sync – All Events.
    In iTunes, Sync with this iPhone over Wi-Fi is checked.
    Calendar and Contacts aren't syncing, in neither direction, neither over Wi-Fi nor by cable. (I haven't, and won't try iCloud or however that thing is called now.)
    No idea why. I'd be thankful for any hint.

    so there's nothing but iCloud to do this? Is there a workaround? Or do I have to use either other a different set of applications, or another set of operating system and hardware? Not syncing is no option, iCloud isn't either, changing systems is.

  • Itunes 10.5 takes forever to open and does not Sync my iPhone 4S

    I used to have the iPhone 4 with iTunes 10.4 and everything worked fine except that it takes 5 minutes exact to open iTunes. I just expected this but it least it synced fine.
    I now have iPhone 4S and iTunes 10.5 and it still takes 5 minutes to open but now I can't sync my phone. After I plug in my iPhone 4-5 minutes later
    I get "itunes was unable to load data class information from sync services reconnect or try again later"
    This seems to be a common error.
    I called Apple support and said I need to uninstall in this exact order
    iTunes
    QuickTime
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support
    Bonjour 
    Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
    Reboot
    Reinstall iTunes 10.5
    Same thing takes 5 minutes to open then I get the above error.
    If I run iTunes as a different user on my PC it works fine. Opens in a few seconds and syncs no problem. I just don't have my library loaded so I can't sync my real stuff.
    Apple said they support the iPhone but not iTunes so they could not help me??????
    Does anyone have any idea? I have been trying to get this to work since I got my iPhone 4S on Oct 14 and nothing works so far.
    Thanks
    David

    Anybody?

  • Address Book and iCal not syncing

    When syncing my nano it will not allow me to sync my Address Book or iCal details.
    The options are grayed out and if I manage to select them iTunes forces the programs open telling me to find what I want to sync. This still does not work.
    Any idea what may be causing this?
    I would really like to get this fixed, especially as I have just ordered an iPod Touch!

    Answered by finding out elsewhere that the iSync tool has an option to refresh all old sync history.

  • Is there a way to move Messages and Local (not synced with iCloud) notes from old iPhone to new one ?

    Is there a way to move Messages and Local (not synced with iCloud) notes from old iPhone to new one ?

    Yes, it will. You cannot merge information on the phone. If you want the old messages, you will need to restore from a backup of the old phone, which will make the new phone look just like the old phone. If you want to save the messages from the new phone, you will not be able to get the messages from the old phone.

  • Address Book Associates Field does not sync with iPhone

    Apple went to the trouble of getting custom field names in the Mac OS Address Book to synchronize with the iPhone (which is wonderful), but they left one field 'unsyncable'; the associates field. If you list a contact's manager name, spouse name, child name, etc. in Address Book, it does not sync with the iPhone (OS 3.0.1) 'Phone' application. This is very useful (and embarrasment-preventing) when needing to remember the name of a contact's manager, wife, child, etc. Does anyone have any idea why Apple left this out of the sync? Certainly it couldn't have to do with saving memory...

    Oh yes! i have this same problem - i have tried emailing Apple Customer Support but they were unable to help me. They advised me to speak to technical or raise the issue on the Apple Support board (but someone already has!)
    so if someone can help us both out here with how to sync additional field information added on Address Book on Mac to then sync all this additional information to iPhone, we would be greatly appreciative!!Thanks,
    Mark

  • I just purchased a ipad 2 and have not sync it yet.  I have an old pc and would like to move the itunes library account to a newer pc that I have.  Can I move the library to the ipad and sync ipods to the ipad and/or move the library to the new pc?

    But I must point out that leaving the iPhoto Library on the external is worth considering. Your internal drive would be better off without having to carry the photos.
    When you booted with the external connected and you were asked for the library, did you try navigating to the Library in on the external drive?

  • I have just purchased a new macbook and need to sync my iphone with itunes, i understand that you can only sync your phone with one itunes account. I do not want to wipe my iphone when syncing with this new itunes account. Any advice welcome

    I have just purchased a new macbook and need to sync my iphone with itunes, i understand that you can only sync your phone with one itunes account. I do not want to wipe my iphone when syncing with this new itunes account. Any advice welcome

    1) authorize iTunes on the new machine for your iTunes store account(s)
    2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
    3) sync the device
    iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it.
