Books Keep syncing to Iphone

I have a bunch of books in itunes but they are all unchecked , yet they keep sync and copying over to my iphone ALL the time ! so everytime; I have to go in and delete the books from my iphone each time I sync, what am I doing wrong ?

Thanks for the reply. I actually did that and synced and then turned it back on thinking it would clear something up, but it continues to sync each time.
This was the first steps I took before starting to browse the forums this morning.

  • Subscribed address book not synced to iPhone

    I shared my address book with my wife, and she subscribes to it. Unfortunately, the shared contacts do not make it to her iPhone during a sync. Any Ideas why?
    Also, what's the difference between subscribing to a mac address book and syncing using mobileme?
    Thanks!

    I also have this issue. My contacts sync fine from the computer to Mobileme, but the groups don't sync to the iphone. This leaves me with an empty "Groups" window as described by eltons. If I sync through itunes, with Mobileme contacts sync off on the iphone, the groups show up.
    Any ideas? Is this consistent with the original post?

  • Macbook Air with Mac OS X Address book not syncing with iPhone 5s completely

    I have just started ICloud syncing of my macbook air address book and my iphone. Some seemingly random contacts are not being transferred down to the iphone. I can't figure this out. How do you make this work correctly?

    First of all, your post title refers to an iPhone 5S.  There is no such device being sold by Apple.
    Aside from that, it sounds like your contacts are in more than one account on your Mac.  In Contacts on your Mac, you might try clicking the button closest to the plus side in the lower left of the display to hopefully show your various accounts.  You might also check Contacts > Preferences > Accounts.

  • Cannot get new Mac Book to sync with Iphone

  • Group names and content from Apple Address Book not syncing to iphone

    My contact from Apple Address Book Syncs, but no group names get down loaded. Clicking The "group" icon in the iphone status bar bring up an empty page from which I cannot recover back to all contacts without restarting the device. In Essence the contact app is stuck in a blank group page.

    I also have this issue. My contacts sync fine from the computer to Mobileme, but the groups don't sync to the iphone. This leaves me with an empty "Groups" window as described by eltons. If I sync through itunes, with Mobileme contacts sync off on the iphone, the groups show up.

  • Address Book Server sync to iPhone

    Once you've setup Address Book Server and you've connected to it via the Address Book client, what's the best way to get those contacts onto the iPhone? The iPhone doesn't have a CardDAV account option so that leaves syncing via iTunes, unless I'm missing something.

    Hi Demonstrous,
    Intersting! You gave me a flash on inspiration, so I went and grabbed the Iphone Config Util (latest version). I setup (just) a CalDav account, uploaded it, and pointed Safari at it. It updated, and sure enough there was my new account setup.
    But, ... this is where are story differs.
    Where does it say PUSH in your iPhone config, which would make you think its working.
    I checked on the server, ... 1st clue, under Push Notification, only TWO connections (one for mail, one for Calendar), ... technically there should be a THIRD for the iPhone using CalDav push. Not there.
    I check under: Settings -> Push Notifications. (I see Prowl), but no mention of Calendar. Not there.
    I check on: Settings -> Mail, Contacts, Calendar, and under my calendar there is nothing to show that its now Push. Not there.
    With my iPhone on, at the springboard, .. I log into a test account Web Calendar, ... setup a new appointment and INVITE my iPhone CalDav account. Its setup.
    1 - No PUSH notification, that its received a new event.
    2 - No PUSH notification on the badge for Calendar, to show a new event.
    Click on iCal, and ofcourse it POLLS my server, and shows the event.
    But this thing is NOT smart.
    It doesn't know that despite it being setup as MY CalDav account, and showing a new event which is inviting me to attend....
    1 - It doesn't know that ME is ME. i.e. when I click on my (invited) name, it gives me options to create a new contact, add to existing contact, or share contact. It doesn't get that this is MEEEEEEE !
    2 - It doesn't allow me to accept the event (based partly on #1 above). It should know there's an invite for ME, and should allow me to accept or decline the invitation.
    So, .. all this leads me to believe that its not push, its still POLL, and that it needs a serious upgrade to the iPhone app to become "user aware".
    Still think yours is Push..?
    Cheers!

    Sounds like a possible permissions issue, try repairing the permissions using Disk Utility.
    You can open Disk Utility several ways.
    1. Use the Spotlight in the Upper Right corner of the screen and search for it, then click it to open it.
    2. Open a new finder window (File> New Window)
    - Applications>Utilities>Disk Utility
    3. Click on the Finder
    - Click 'Go' in the menu bar across the top of the screen.
    - Click Utilities, then double click on Disk Utility.
    Once Disk Utility is open there should be a column on the left side, the name of your hard drive should be listed there.
    (By Default it is named Mac HD or Macintosh HD)
    Click on it to highlight it.
    There should then be a few buttons you can click
    - Verify Disk Permissions
    - Repair Disk Permissions
    - Verify Disk
    - Repair Disk
    Click Repair Disk Permissions

  • Can I sync my iPhone contacts with a specific address book group?

    My address book on my iMac has contacts organized by several groups. My wife and I have just purchased iPhones and want to keep our photos and music coordinated with one iCloud account.
    My whole address book is synced with iCloud. Can I set my iPhone to sync with a specific group of contacts from the address book?
    Thanks in advance.

    Use the usb cable that comes with your iPhone to connect it to your Mac. Read the directions that came with the iPhone. Post in the iPhone forums where the iPhone gurus are. Google... Look to the right of your post in the "More Like This" column...

  • Lost all my contacts in Mac address book.  Tried syncing my iPhone/iPad contacts to Mac is not working.  Please help

    Lost all my contacts in Mac address book.  Tried syncing my iPhone/iPad contacts to Mac via iTunes and is not working.  Please help

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Unless you have the contacts backed up somewhere, you won't be able to restore them.
    You and your son should have your own iCloud accounts then you can keep your own contacts and calendars etc and avoid deleting each others.

  • HT1535 ting stuck on "Waiting for changes to be applied" does i keep trying to sync my iphone 4s but it wont finish the sync it keeps getting stuck on anyone know why ?

    i keep trying to sync my iphone 4s but it wont finish the sync it keeps getting stuck on "Waiting for changes to be Applied" has anyone had a similar problem? and what should i do ?

    I know that most of these posts were put up a little while ago
    But.
    I too had a similar problem and an "error" message (waiting for changes to be applied)
    - my thoughts were:
    Something to do with update to IOS 7.4
    Corruption
    Itunes software issue
    After a LOT of research, I found a simple step that solved this issue for me.
    I had been running my sync (pre - IOS 7.4) as automatic - see the options section under the summary tab
    This can be viewed when you click on your device - right up the top you'll see tabs
    SUMMARY / INFO / APPS / TONES / MUSIC / MOVIES / TV SHOWS / BOOKS / PHOTOS etc.
    I changed my selection to manually manage music and videos and tried another sync
    Wha La!
    It began to copy over 700 songs that had not properly synced to my Ipad 2
    BONUS: it then started to sync my videos again.
    Hope this helps somebody.
    It certainly made my life less frustrating
    Downside: I have to MANUALLY manage - but it's better than all the hassles
    NB: I don't know why this error occurs and I'm not sure this fix will work for everyone's issues but it can't hurt.

  • Can't prevent books from being synced from iPhone to Mac

    Now that we have iCloud I can finally return my iTunes into being just a music jukebox. Apps, books, tv shows don't belong in iTunes in my Mac.
    I have been able to clear everything that is not audio from my iTunes. Keeping just music and audiobooks. Except for Books.
    Every time my iTunes syncs my iPhone through WiFi with iTunes it brings the purchased books back from the iPhone.
    If I uncheck the box to sync books, next time it rechecks it by itself and re-adds those books. Its quite frustrating. Then the books tab in the sidebar re-appers.
    I am assuming this is a bug. Anyone else having this issue? I looking forward for what I think will be iTunes 11 redesigned with iCloud in mind.

    Welp, I found a silly but working solution. Check out the post from RuleRulez on this page: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3404369?start=15&tstart=0
    Basically, connect the phone to iTunes, go to the Info tab, and check the box to sync mail settings. It doesn't sync any accounts, only the settings for the accounts that are on both devices. Fixed mine. Crazy.
    Anyway, good luck! Hope that helps you guys!

  • How can I sync my Iphone to a new iTunes account on a new Mac Book as no longer have the old Mac Book and im unable to use the same Apple ID, I want to sync music to my Iphone from my new Mac Book, new Mac Book and iphone in same Apple ID???

    Basically, my iphone has been in the same apple ID as my dads iphone and mac book, so my iphone has always been synced to his macbook. I bought myself a mac book the other day and want to sync my iphone to it. However i have obviously put my mac book in a different apple id as i know pay for things i download myself, how can I sync my iphone to my mac book without losing all the music and pictures on it?  ive now put my iphone into my new apple id thinking this might help? ive also tried clicking 'manually manage music and video' but this doesnt seem to work, it basically says you have to erase your iphone to sync to a new itunes!
    HELPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    " how can I sync my iphone to my mac book without losing all the music and pictures on it?"
    You cannot.  Copy everything you want form the old computer to the new one, then sync it.
    it basically says you have to erase your iphone to sync to a new itunes!
    Correct Iphone will sync, or manually manage, with one and only one computer/library at a time. Syncing, or manually managing, to another will indeed erase the current content.

    Best way to move to the new account

    No, all content that you download from the store is tied to the account that downloaded it, it can't be transferred to another account

  • Removed songs from iTunes or iPhone keep syncing - where are they and how to permanently stop syncing?

    I have about 26 songs that were purchased from iTunes that continually sync from iTunes to my iPhone.  I have removed them from my phone and have removed through iTunes, but every time I sync my phone with iTunes they come back.
    I have "manually managed" (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1535) my iPhone and have removed from the "On this iPhone" section in iTunes and that works great.  However, if I try to sync a playlist the playlist syncs, but then the 26 songs I just remove return and are put back on my iPhone.
    On my iPhone I have Settings > iTunes & App Store > Automatic Downloads > Music set to Off.  I have Settings > iTunes & App Store > Show All > Music set to Off.
    On my iTunes, in the iPhone section, I have under the Music section "Sync Music" checked and only one playlist selected with about 49 songs in it.
    I have tried deleting those unwanted 26 songs from my iPhone (http://helpios7.com/remove-songs/) and then syncing.  The 26 songs return.
    I am out of ideas -- is there some iCloud connection/setting that is thinking those 26 songs need to be synced to my iPhone?
    I guess my question is - why can't I just sync the one playlist without having these "rogue" 26 songs keep syncing/reappearing?
    Thanks for you help!

    Go into Settings > Music and there should be an option to "Show all music" all that is needed is for it to be turned off, then only music on your phone is displayed.
