Books no longer syncing - what to do?

After I "upgraded" to iPhone iOS 6.1.2 and iTunes 11.0.1 (on my MacBook Air) books no longer sync onto my phone. Yes I have checked the "Sync Audiobooks" box. Yes I have checked the individual books. Yes I have checked the various parts of the books. In this section, it even says (in grey) "3 audiobooks" which is the appropriate number that I want to sync. This has always worked before. iTunes was happy to remove the books that I unchecked but not interested in adding the other ones (which btw I have had on my phone before -- these exact books in these exact versions).
Anyone have any ideas?? thanks so much!

After much clicking about, I solved my own problem. The books were not checked in my ITunes library. There were there, but not checked. I had thought that they wouldn't appear in the iPhone area if they weren't checked, but apparently that isn't true. So, even though they appear in the iPhone section to be selected, they won't be transferred unless they are also checked in the regular library. Not sure why this wouldn't warrant some kind of error message or different status, but I guess that's an Apple question.

Address Book no longer syncs with google contacts

After my switch to Lion, I'm noticing that my address book no longer syncs with my google contacts??
After I update my contacts in address book, it doesn't show up on google contacts and vice versa.
Is anyone else exprienceing this?

¡¡¡Ok, Something worked for me!!!
I have my address book empty, and then this is what I did:
1- Copy Address book app to downloads (or other folder) just to back it up
2- Install AppCleaner
3- Drag and Drop address book ap into app cleaner, make sure that it references to several files (all .plist files etc.) If there are no external references then try to drag and drop your backup, do it until you see the rest of references (uncheck address book widget)
4- After press clean in AppCleaner, it will delete everything.
5- Put back your address book app backup into your applications folder
6- Open it and if your are lucky you will see all the contacts again, they were like hidden....
Then I deleted all the contacts again and set up google account in preferences again, after that it syncs fine!!!
Good Luck!

- Try moving the backup file to a safe location so iTunes has to create an entire new one.. It is locate here and you may have to have show hiddn files turned on.
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
- Also try here assuming a PC. The link provides a link for XP.

Mac Book no longer syncs calendar with iPhone or iPad

Since I upgraded to mountain lion my mac book no longer syncs calendars to my iPhone or iPad. I have tried the procedure of deleting the calendar cache in the Library folder to no avail. Any other suggestions?

Sorry, but I don't think I can be of much help on this, as I've switched completely to iCloud for my calendar syncing, and I haven't seen an answer to your problem. Maybe somebody else will come along with an idea.

ICal and Address Book no longer syncing with iPhone - HELP!

HELP!
I am a long time Apple user and rely heavily on my iPhone to keep me where I need to be, when I need to be there. I have an iPhone 4 and it is running OS 6.0.1. Everything was working fabulously until recently. Sadly I don't know when the problems started--when I updated to OS 6 OR when I updated iTunes to version 11. Either way, my iCal and Address Book no longer sync with my iPhone. And to add insult to injury, my phone is no longer automatically detecting the AT&T microcell I have in my house. I have to reboot my phone every time I come back in the house--talk about annoying.
I am not super techy, so I am hoping someone can help me with this. I LIVE by my iPhone and as a self-employed person, I can't afford for this device to stop giving me information. I also don't want to do entries on my phone AND computer everytime something changes. I do not want to go back to the more reliable paper calendar and address book.
I have iCloud turned on, and it appears to sync my address book with my iPhone. But I seem to be a mess with iCal and my desktop. And between iCal/Adress Book on my computer and iPhone, nothing is talking.
HELP!!!!

Apple Address Book no longer sync'ing with iPhone

I'm running Leopard Server 10.5.1. Address Book sync with my iPhone is no longer working properly. iTunes is getting Address Book information from someplace other than Address Book. This is what I did to test this theory:
1. deleted all contacts in Address Book
2. deleted ~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook
3. deleted ~/Library/Caches
4. deleted ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.AddressBook*.plist
5. in iSync, Reset Sync History
After the above, I logged out and logged back in; fired up iTunes, sync'ed and got a message saying if I continue the sync, there will be a greater than 5% change to the info on my iPhone - in the dialog box, it listed all the entries in my Address Book prior to me deleting them (oddly, all the contact names are there and all notes for contacts are there but the phone #s, email addresses, web pages, etc. are gone). I verified Address Book by opening it and none of the listed contacts are there, so, where is iTunes getting that data? Also, the Info tab in iTunes shows groups in the Contacts section that were all deleted.
Can someone offer a solution?

OK, I know why this is happening now. This is what I'm seeing in the logs when I do a sync from iTunes:
1/30/08 8:39:29 AM AddressBookSync[86028] AddressBookSync (client id: com.apple.AddressBook) error: Exception running AddressBookSync: can't remove object at /Network/Servers/trantor.tyrann.net/Homes/abid/Library/Application Support/SyncServices/Local/clientdata/633a1ba25cb8241bbde44acb603ee1e822cde772/ bbb82163e3ac8d890906c3d29deb27e226048c30: Permission denied

The permission on these files and the directory they're in is read & write access to me and no access for everyone else. So what should the correct permissions be? I have full access to create and remove files so why am I getting permission errors?

Since i updated to snow leopard, address book no longer syncs to office 2011

I use Office 2011's email program. With 10.5.8, when I entered a new contact into Apple Address Book, it synced with the address book in Office pretty immediately.
Then I upgraded to Snow Leopard a few weeks ago. But I just noticed that when I add an address to Apple Address Book that it no longer syncs and loads into the Office contacts.
(When I started using the new iCal, it was recommended that I uncheck the sync to Mobile Me. It's checked now, just not for Calendar.)
Has anyone experienced this? If so, what did you do to solve?
Thanks for your help.

This is all a bit confusing. Your signature says you have 10.4.7 installed. You have indicated that you have upgraded to 10.6 (Snow Leopard). Office 2004 is not compatible with Apple's latest OS (10.7 Lion). If you have 10.6 installed, as you have indicated, it should work.
What is the exact message you are getting?

Address Book no longer syncs to iPod nano

I don't know whether this is an iTunes 10.5.2 problem or a Lion problem, but I recently found that iTunes is no longer syncing my address book to my 5G iPod nano. All I get is a zero-byte file with the current file creation time in the nano's Contacts folder. (I AM able to manually export a vcard file from my Address Book.app to the nano, and that is my current workaround.)

Address Book no longer syncs to iPhone

I'm running Snow Leopard (10.6.8) on my MacBook, which uses iTunes 10.5.1. My iPhone 3GS is running iOS 5.0.1. I use the OS X Address Book application to manage my contacts. Recently, I noticed that changes were no longer being synched between my MacBook and my iPhone. Other information (such as calendar info) was being synched fine.
I tried to fix this in the following ways:
- Configured iTunes to "Replace information on this iPhone" for contacts (under iTunes' Info tab).
- Reset sync history in iSync.
Neither of these things fixed the problem. The odd thing is that iTunes displays "syncing contacts" for 8-9 seconds every time I sync my iPhone (I have a lot of contacts). So it *seems* as if the contacts info does actually get exchanged between the Mac and the phone. But when I open the Contacts app on my iPhone, it displays "no contacts".
Last week, I got a new, larger hard drive for my MacBook. I installed Snow Leopard on the clean drive and restored my backups, including contacts. In order to make sure everything was really clean, I wiped my iPhone too. Then I tried syncing them. Contacts STILL did not appear on the iPhone. At the time of the first sync, I had no additional software installed on my Mac -- it was just a clean install of OS X with Apple's updates (of OS X and iTunes) applied. Even now, I have only a few additional applications installed (LibreOffice, Audacity, Firefox, Chrome, Opera).
The fact that the problem has persisted even after the reinstallation suggests to me that the problem might be with the contact data itself. But my contacts look fine on the Mac.
Can anyone suggest a possible next step?

OK -- problem solved. Here's what I did:
1. Opened the Address Book application.
2. Highlighted all my contacts and dragged them into a new directory that I created under Documents. This created a single vcard file containing all the contacts.
3. Shut down (i.e., File/Close) the Address Book application.
4. Went to ~/library/Application Support/ and renamed the AddressBook directory to AddressBook.bak (so that the Address Book application would no longer find the directory).
5. Opened the Address Book application. It automatically created a AddressBook directory and a new address database containing only the two default addresses (Apple and my own address).
6. Dragged the vcard that I created in step 2 into the open Address Book application.
7. Confirmed that I wanted to import a large number of addresses.
8. When the import was done (about 15-20 seconds), connected my iPhone and did a sync.
Now I have all my contacts back in my iPhone again. But I have lost the group information that I created (business, personal, etc). This is not a big problem. Even if I have to create the groups and assign records to them manually, I can have it done in an hour or so, which is nothing compared to the time I have been wasting trying to get this problem fixed.

Lion Address Book no longer syncs to iCloud and will not SEARCH

I use a MBAir i7, Lion, and Address Book (all system updates current as of date).
My issue:
#1– for no apparent reason the search function within address book has ceased functioning.
#2– entries are no longer updating to iCloud.
How long has this been going on:
A few days. However, I have had similar issues in the past that were resolved, such as the ridiculous issues regarding duplicate syncs, etc...all these issues were so time consuming to resolve. But the issues could have been resolved with QUALITY PROGRAMMING. Uh oh here it goes...the rant is exploding out of me...It baffles me how incompetent the programming has been with iCloud. As long as I've been an Apple owner (since way back in the Quadra days) this has got to be one of the most frustrating experiences and BLUNDERS I have *ever* had using an Apple product. I'm sorry ladies and gentlemen, i promised myself i would not digress to a rant. But the truth is, I am so incensed by this complete botch since it results in such a MASSIVE WASTE OF MY TIME...sorry, again.
My attempts at resolution (for this specific issue):
#1– Logging out (no avail).
#2– Restarting (no avail).
#3– Changing WiFi locations (no avail).
#4– Running diskcheck to fix permissions (only a few permissions came up bad) (no avail).
#5– Spending about 2+ hours searching the internet for solutions (no avail).
#6– ^Deleting some preference files related to AB (no avail).
#7– ^Unsyncing AB from iCloud / deleting contacts on MBA / resyncing to iCloud (this works but shortly returns).
Does anyone else have suggestions on how to fix this problem?
...i remember before the iPhone came out, I owned a motorola flip phone. I remember all I really wanted was a way to sync my AB contacts to that motorola phone. There was a sync program available, and the syncing was so horrible that it was basically not usable. For example, the sync process would not recognize the entries on the phone or the computer or vice-versa, which resulted in duplicate entries every time a sync was performed. It was really impractical to go and delete, say entries 2, 4, 6, etc. from the AB database. Even worse, the phone would truncate some of the data, so the benefit of syncing contacts to computer was at the expense of duplicating entries which would have to be deleted. Then, the iPhone came out. The iPhone propelled the standard for a mobile phone to a distant galaxy– and every commercial we heard for years was, "this new product is the iPhone killer"...The truth is that nothing has caught up with the iPhone. And, all I thought I wanted was the ability to sync my contacts with my mobile phone.
So where do I stand in the year 2012? Right back where I was in the day of my old P.O.S. motorola flip phone.

Mail 4.2, iCal, and Address Book no longer syncing to Exchange 2007

For the last year or so I have had a perfectly functioning connection to our company Exchange 2007 server that worked for Mail, iCal, and Address Book. However, in the last 2 weeks or so I have been unable to sync to those account, getting the little icon with exclamation point in a triangle, meaning it can't sync to the account.
I have tried deleting the account and recreating. It auto-discovers that account server just fine and auto-configures the SSL ports, but I still can't get the account to sync.
Anyone else having this problem? Anyone figure out what's going on?
I'm using Apple Mail 4.2 on OS 10.6.3.
Thanks.

Why doesn't my ical and address book no longer sync between the iphone4S and my MacBook?

Can anyone explain why the new iphone doesn't sync back to my MacBook. My ical won't sync, nor will my address book when I make changes to either device? I just bought the phone today and no one at the Mac Store could provide any assistance. I was told that, "it's too new." and had to set up a call with tech support for next Tuesday. I need to work so if anyone could help with this that would be great!
Thank you!

IPod no longer syncing with address book

I have an older iPod that has always worked great, and it still does except it now no longer syncs my contacts from my address book. Any suggestions?
Thanks.

When you synced the iPod, go to iTunes and your iPod will automatically be listed under "Devices" on the left column. Click on it and it will tell you what kind of device you have, the version, and other info if you click on the tabs above the iPod's picture. The tabs are "Summary," "Apps," "Music," "TV Shows," "Books," "Photos," and "Info." Click Info, and click the box next to "Sync Contacts." It should work then.
