HT1386 Syncing Purchased iBooks to iTunes

My son has purchased a number of iBooks on his iPad and now wants me to read one. Problem is that most of the books he has purchased do not appear in iTunes after he does a sync. Does anyone have an answer as to how we can sync the missing books?

The computer must be authorized for the Apple ID that the content was acquired with.
Connect the device to the computer.
Select File > Transfer Purchases.
Keep in mind that iBooks can only be read on an iOS device.

Apple TV not syncing purchases back to iTunes

My Apple TV is not syncing purchases back to iTunes. All music and TV shows I've purchased through Apple TV since the upgrade to ATV 2.0 is still not showing up in iTunes.
In iTunes, when I click on Apple TV in the left pane I see only the "Summary" and "Photos" tabs. On the main Summary window there is no button to "Sync" Apple TV. Neither are there any options for setting this up in iTunes Preferences, or in any of the on-screen settings in Apple TV itself. I can stream content just fine, I just don't see how to enable syncing back and forth. Am I missing something?
Many thanks for your input!
Tom

Any idea how to get ATV to sync with iTunes? Is there some way to enable syncing to move purchased ATV content over to iTunes? I was under the assumption that this should happen automatically with 2.0. I also recall with ATV 1.0 that I DID at one point disable syncing in favor of streaming, and perhaps this setting somehow transferred over to ATV 2.0 ?
Funny, others on this forum are trying to disable the automatic transfer of ATV content to iTunes, while I'm trying to get it to work!

How can I purchase ibooks from itunes in Spain?

How can I purchase ibooks from itunes in Spain? When I search for example, music from Spain in my regular itunes, after searching the response is: no listed. But when i go thru safari it informs me there is a different itune in Spain different of ours, is it correct? How can I purchase from them do I have to download another itunes in Spanish.

You would have to be physically located in Spain, have a Spanish credit card with a valid billing address in Spain. The you could set up an account in Spain and use it when you were physically located in Spain.

IPhone 3GS not syncing purchased music to ITunes on Windows desktop.

When I plug iPhone into USB port on desktop, iTunes goes through the regular operation with photos and syncing purchased applications. However, it does NOT sync the music I purchased on the iPhone to my desktop. iTunes is to sync manually. When I select "Transfer Purchases from iPhone" nothing happens

it does NOT sync the music I purchased on the iPhone to my desktop.
It won't, the itunes content sync is one way: computer to phone. If you manually manage music, and the computer you're connected to is authorized, you must use File>Transfer Purchases once your phone appears in the left device pane, is that what you're doing?

30 GB Video iPOD won't sync purchased songs from iTUNES.

Previously, on the same computer, I have synced purchased songs from my Itunes library to my iPOD. Now, suddenly, an error message says that I'm not authorized to do so. I use my computer in two countries, the US and Taiwan, and wonder if this has anything to do with the problem. I've already restored the Ipod and reloaded all the songs. The purchased songs still appear in my library but will not sync.

Have you tried Deauthorizing then Authorizing your computer through the Store menu in iTunes?

Iphone wont sync purchased music to iTunes

Hello!
I recently got a iTunes gift card that I redeemed with my iPhone and purchanced 2 songs. When I sync my phone to my iTunes it gives me a warning message stating:
"Some of the purchased items on the iPhone "Katie's iPhone". including "Addicted". could not be transfered to your iTunes library because you are not authorized for them on this computer.
Would you like to authorize this computer for items purchased from the iTunes store?" So I hit Authorize and log it with my Apple ID, it says accesing music store and then comes up with another notice saying,
"This computer is already authorized." So I hit ok and then it continues to sync my phone. But when I go to my Purchased, neither song is there and they aren't in my library.
I have tried going to the music store and going under my account but neither purchase is there either. Only on my iphone do they exsist.
I have tried unauthorizing the computer and reauthorizing but the same thing happenes.
I have the most recent software for both iTunes and iPhone. I'm stumped.
Any ideas? Please and thank you.

I have had to figure this out every time since I don't sync my iPhone that often. I have another option to fix specifically music from iTunes on a PC platform not syncing up to the iPhone. Just think that two people need to DIRECTLY speak to one another. iTunes doesn't seem to get that music in a sub-folder of your Music folder on your hard drive is actually music you'd like to sync to your iPhone. Huh, what the heck is wrong with you Apple? The only way I ever fixed this problem is figure out which folder your iTunes program is reading and then copy paste all your music from one folder into the folder that iTunes "gets" i.e. is reading and linked to the correct folder on your hard drive. And this is only a problem because Apple is an a**hole (and so are PC platform companies) and wants you to buy their computers/laptops to sync up with iPhones seamlessly. If you have a PC you’re SOL and have to deal with annoying crap all day long. That is the end all, be all of it all. Tell Apple to get a clue and stop being jerk offs by making their software/hardware compatible with all others. The old feud between Apple and PCs and vice versa is just screwing us consumers and I’m sick of this crap. We consumers shouldn’t have all this aggravation because two large corporate D bags can’t get along like mature adults.

New iPod Touch, won't sync purchased songs from iTunes library on new "authorized" laptop.

I must have missed a step. My old windows laptop died. Tried syncing iTunes library from old laptop to new iPod touch. Didn't work. Downloaded iTunes to new windows laptop. Logged into iTunes from new laptop and Authorized new windows laptop. Uploaded a few CDs into new laptop's iTunes library. Old purchased songs appeared on new laptop, however only uploaded songs from CDs will sync to new iPod touch.
Help!

New ipod won't sync purchased music from itunes library

I just purchased a new ipod and when I try to sync my library it will not transfer any purchased songs that are in my library. All the songs are checked and I selected sync all music.

Do these purchased tracks play in iTunes? What other options do you have enabled from under the Summary and Music tabs for your iPod? Are you saying non-iTunes purchased tracks sync okay?

Iphone 4s will not sync purchased videos from itunes

Unbeknownst to me, my iPhone deleted a purchased TV show (from iTunes) from the device (I don't know how it happened). I went to sync it on iTunes and it would not put the videos back on the device. I have tried this several times and even wiped the iPhone and started it fresh (not from a back up) and it still won't work. Help please!

Error -50 when trying to sync purchases back to iTunes

I'm a UK iPhone user (no relevance) and tried the iTunes store last night for the first time. I browsed, purchased and downloaded an album without a hitch. A warm feeling all over when things just 'work'. I've come to charge the phone today and it has shown an error for the first time. I can only assume it's when it's trying to copy the purchased music back to iTunes. It shows a window with 'the iTunes Library file cannot be saved. An unknown error occurred (-50)' To confirm, the purchased music does not appear on iTunes.
I powered down the phone - no difference. I repaired permissions on my Powerbook - no difference. I clicked restore in iTunes only to be told that I would have to rePURCHASE my music again! Not redownload. REPURCHASE! How is this fair?!
Has anyone any ideas? I do store my library on an external disc which was the first thing I thought of but I can read and write to it OK.

Nathan - I've plugged into a different socket using my travel cable (that came with the headset) and it is now transferring my music over!! Magic!!
I should have thought of that earlier - I did restart the Mac a few times and still the problem occurred. Ah well - all's well that ends well!!
Turned out to be my USB hub was having an issue since I'd plugged an Apple mouse into it - removed that and the original dock is working perfectly again.
Thanks for the replies guys!
