Can't Sync Audiobook from itunes on pc to my iphone5

I purchased an audiobook from itunes on my pc and I can't get it onto my iphone5. The audiobook shows up in my pc's itunes library under books. (itunes version 11.0.2.26. iphone ios 6.1.3.)
I followed instructions that I found to do this: From Devices in itunes on my pc, in Books folder I clicked Sync. Then I can see it goes through 3 steps (1:Waiting for Sync to start; 2:Preparing to Sync; 3:Waiting for changes to be applied) but these occur quickly and then it ends.
There's plent of space on the iphone.
In the itunes library, in Books, the title is listed and the box is checked.
In devices, in options, "Sync only checked songs and videos" is checked.
What am I missing?!

Hey, TheMightyWitt.
To sync Audiobooks from your computer to your iOS device, we'll want to follow the basic syncing instructions outlined in this article:
iOS: Syncing with iTunes
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1386
Specifically, what we are looking for is the "Books" tab at the top of iTunes (When your iPhone is plugged in). Here is what it looks like:
Once on the Books tab, there are two separate sections for syncing regular digital Books and Audiobooks. Make sure that the "Sync Audiobooks" checkbox is checked and choose to either sync all or selected audiobooks. Once these changes are applied, the Audiobooks will be transferred to your device for your enjoyment!
Happy Listening,
Matt M.

Can't sync Audiobooks from iTunes

After updating to the latest iPhone iOS, my Audiobooks no longer appear on the iPhone 4. There still checked in iTunes, but the iPhone reports "No Audobooks". Why can't I get Audiobooks onto the iPhone. They used to be, and nothing has changed in iTunes. They're there, on the computer. The only thing that changed is the latest version of iOS. I have the lastest software all around.

Hi Durrace, I've just posted a similar problem (though less succinctly, and with more ranting), and realise that although I have audiobooks (from LibriVox), they are not listed as audiobooks. What I mean is, the category 'audiobooks' is not under Library. Apols for repeating my other post: the audiobook chapters are in itunes, have been synced to my iphone, and can be seen on the iphone when using itunes, but cannot be found when looking at the iphone itself.
Am completely stumped. And disappointed at Apple, cos I really thought they were seamless and idiot proof.

Can't sync music from iTunes 11 to iPhone 4 since getting iOS 6.1

IPhone 4, iOS 6.1
Basically, plugged in my phone to put a new cd on, and as it started I noticed the 'other' bar was huge and iTunes was saying my phone was 6gb over capacity and was still trying to sync apps I'd deleted a month before, so stopped the process thinking it was damaging my phone.
I then, thinking the phone had backed up, deleted all pictures to make some space and tried to sync again. The same happened.
Next I decided to update the iOS to 6.1 and try again. This is when I started not being able to syncs anything. Music, film, photos, tv shows, nothing.
The sync will start and the phone capacity bar shows will show how much space will be taken up and the sync skips to the end and nothing has been synced. In iTunes in the music view under devices on tje left the files are greyed out with the sync in progress icon next to them.
I have also got a 'connection has been list to the iPhone' error message which I really don't understand as they are connected via USB and the phone is still mounted in iTunes.
Since then I have tried every different connotation of settings through iTunes to no avail. I've backup and restored, I've restored to a new phone but with no results at all.
I have read 20 or discussions on The Apple forums and it seems that loads of slightly different solutions have worked for lots of different people and I also know many people are completely unaffected by this, but I use my phone more as an iPod than phone.
It's proper frustrating, especially when Apple release a software update for iPhone 4S users but not iPhone 4 owners.
Oh and today it also seemed to be flakey in terms 3G connections.
Oh and since Christmas I haven't been able to use home sharing as it won't finish connecting, it just stops!

Everything is Sorted!
The release of iTunes 11.0.2 and iOS 6.1.2 for my iPhone 4, seems to have sorted everything. I can now sync music, films and photos between my MacBook and my phone.
I was dubious about blindly doing the updates but decided they couldn't really mess up any further functionality so I went for it and it's sorted now.
Look in to, and take the gamble, it's up to you.

Can't sync music from iTunes onto my new iPhone 4s

I got a new iPhone 4s through work and already have 3 iPod touches at home that sync fine on our Win7 laptop with iTunes. When I plug my new phone into my home laptop and try to drag/drop the music over onto my iPhone icon, it just shows a circle with a slash through it and won't let me sync the music.
No explanation is provided - just the "can't sync" icon. Really frustrating and not at all user friendly!
Please help.
Thanks,

I can't sync music from iTunes Library to iPhone

I've just set up my iPhone and whilst the iPhone syncs all my email, calendars etc, it doesn't sync with the music already in my Library. I've tried manually syncing but a 'no entry' sign comes up. I've unchecked all the music, tried almost everything but my iPhone is still saying no content is downloaded.
Can anyone offer some help or assistance please?
Many thanks
S.

Do you have Sync Music selected under the Music tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes and if so, what else is selected under the Music tab?
If you want to manually manage music and videos, this must be selected under the Summary tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes. You can transfer music via syncing or manually. You can do one or the other, not both at the same time.

Can't sync apps from itunes to ipad mini

i have purchased an app from appstore through iTunes on my computer but each time i try to sync it to my ipad mini
it gets interrupted with the message "authorize this computer" although i have done that already

iTunes is a mess. On the sidebar on the left there is a "On My Device" section. It shows everything *except* the apps. Above that there is a "settings" section. That's where the apps are. That's a "setting"?
The device handling needs a complete overhaul. There are many many people who have had an iPad or iPhone for some time, but do not own a Mac. Based on climbing Mac sales, clearly some of those people are deciding "I like this iPhone so much I'm going to get a Mac!" So they get one and run into this train wreck.
Even now, with the iPad selected, I go to the View menu, select View Options..., and.....nothing. No window, no dialog, no indication of anything. Turns out that menu item is not applicable when a device is selected. Even with the original 128k Mac (my first Mac) they had this sorted out - dim the menu item when it's not applicable. Here we are 30 years later and they get it wrong.

Hi. Please help! Evertime i try to update my music collection and sync to my iphone, the following happens. Back up sign appears and then for hours and hours step 1 or 2 during back up process appears.. nothing happens. how can it be so difficult!!

Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

Can't sync music from itunes

I downloaded blackberry desktop manager and deleted my pocket mac because I heard it was more user friendly. I can't figure out how to sync my itunes playlists. When I click on MUSIC in the desktop manager it's just blank and I don't see any music there. I've tried everything and am SO very frustrated, please help! I have the most current versions of all the software and I'm using a MAC

Just to make sure, did you install Desktop Manager 6.0?
If so make sure that iTunes is set as the default media library. When the device is connected to your computer go into Device | Device Options then look on the Media tab.

Can't sync photos from iTunes to iPhone (hangs)

ITunes 11.1.3 (8) hangs (constantly shows the download icon) when i push batton iTunes -> iPhone -> Photos

Hi Chris,
Thanks a lot for your reply. Unfortunately, I didn't have much luck with that. Also tried rebooting and trying steps from scratch, as well as ensuring that the drive was mounted/connected first by navigating to it in a finder window, but no luck.
Next thing I tried was to make a symbolic link to the iPhoto library within the /Users/<my user directory>/Pictures directory, but this didn't work, either.
I also noticed that iPhoto didn't seem to keep the album organization that I created in the Photos app on my iPhone (e.g. I created an album "Honeymoon" on my phone, which is now empty on the phone itself. But, there is no "Honeymoon" album in iPhoto after importing).
So, even if I could choose the iPhoto library, it seems that the next issue might be that I'd have to try to remember/find all of the pics that I had saved in each of those folders, in order to "refill" them on my iPhone.
Still stuck here ...
Cheers,
Steve
