HT5557 Hiding books on iTunes (PC) and devices

How do I hide purchased books, both on iTunes and devices? My iTunes is on a PC (Windows 8). When I try the "hover" method you recommend on your support there is no "hover" function (nothing pops up to take action on.

  • Can I use 1 computer with 2 different iTunes accounts and devices? We're afraid we're going to wipeout one library or the other if we do??

    My son got an iPhone and wanted his own iTunes account. Now his computer died, and he wants to connect to his iTunes account on my computer. When it asks to sync the computer, a message comes up and we're afraid either his or my library are going to be wiped out by trying to do this. Is it possible to use 1 computer with 2 different iTunes accounts and devices without wiping out one of the libraries? Thanks for any info.

    If the content was not originally purchased/synced to the device from your computer it will erase and replace the content from the device with that of the computer. If you have content that you want to backup you can transfer purchases http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1848 check this link out

  • Questions on managing iTunes content and devices?

    I've been a subpar iTunes user for several years now and I figured it was time that I just started asking some questions in order to get help. I love all my different iOS devices, but at times it seems that it's extremely difficult to manage content amongst the devices as well as my different computers (I use a PC for personal use and a Macbook for work.) My wife also has her own iOS device (Which we just use my AppleID on to keep all purchases under a single account) and a PC. So it seems like a constant juggling act to keep my content properly managed.
    The new iCloud stuff looks like a wonderful step in the right direction for helping manage content on my different devices, but I'm still a little curious about the best way to go about storing, sharing, and accessing content. So all that being said, here's my current setup and questions.
    First of all, I have my iTunes Media Folder on set to save everything to a Network Attached Storage I have at my home. This is the version of iTunes that I run off of my PC, which I guess I would say is my primary source of iTunes usage and how I generally choose to manage my content and move things to and from my iOS devices. Everything works out pretty well until I try and manage my content on any other computer.
    Creating a consistent storage location on a NAS
    My first basic question is, "Is it possible to have multiple versions of iTunes on different computers point to the same Media Folder?" If I could have all of my iTunes folders work off the same Media Folder that would probably help cut down on the confusion. However, I'm not exactly sure if this is just a matter of giving them all the same path to use or if there's additional permissions and things that must be setup. Also, what happens if I decide to purchase content through iTunes and I'm not connected to my home network, so the content cannot be saved to my NAS? Does it save to a default location that I can just later move to my NAS?
    Home Sharing
    What exactly is "Home Sharing"? I've read a little bit about it but I'm not 100% sure what it actually gets me since I already have a NAS. Is this what I need for setting up multiple computers to share the same Media Folder? Do I need this at all since my data is located on a central NAS on our home network?
    Syncing devices from multiple computers
    One of the biggest headaches I get with trying to manage content across multiple computers and devices is that I have to use one specific computer to Sync and Manage content on a device. For example, I have my iPhone synced to iTunes on my PC so I can edit and manage music on that device from my PC. But if I'm at work on my Macbook and decide I want to make some changes to Music I have there, then I have to sync my device to the Macbook, effectively wiping all the current content on my phone. Is there no way around this?
    iCloud Questions
    I have content that I've purchased on my iPhone or iPad and want to download it from the cloud to my PC or Macbook, or my wife's computer. Do I have to "repurchase" this content in order to do that, or does it just download directly for free since I've already purchased it before?
    I apologize if any of these are "silly" questions. I've tried to read up on this stuff but I still have difficulty completely understanding it.

  • Purchased books from iTune store and downloaded it.  Now, when I try to send it to my iPod nano, I get an error message saying the title cannot be found.  I cannot find a screen that offers an option to re-download.  What gives?

    I purchased a box set of books on iTunes, and downloaded them.  The title shows up in the "purchased" section, but when I try to send it to my iPod nano, I get an error message telling me it cannot be moved because it cannot be found.  I can't find a screen anywhere offering the option to re-download either.  I've paid for the books, but cannot access them!  Every time I upgrade iTunes, it gets more confusing and harder to use. 

    Also I now can`t access any of my itunes library and am concerned that if I remove it from my computer I will lose everything as I have no option of accessing and therefore backing anything up. Any ideas?

  • ITunes account and devices

    Okay here is the scenario - we are a crazy apple family. I am mom and live on my ipad and MacBook. I would have an iPhone too except my employer supplies a different device. My husband has an iPhone 4S, my son an iPhone 5s and my daughter an iPhone 4 and ipad.  My kids are 15 and 12 so obviously I am paying for their phone plans (so far). 
    Here is the dilemma. I have an iTunes account where I have purchased A LOT of stuff but my question is about music. I have my devices, daughters devices and hubby's device linked to my iTunes account. So no problem. In an effort to give my son some privacy I did not link him to the account.  But now he would like all the music I have already purchased on his phone.  And I am NOT purchasing everything again.  Can someone please tell me there is a solution to this?  He just wants the music and I don't want him and his sister to be "linked" to each others devices.  Is there a way to put all the music I have purchased to his device?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Ideally you should each have your own iCloud account, that way you can each manage your own mail, contacts, calendars, documents etc and avoid unintentional deletions and unwanted editing. If there is information you wish to share between you, this can be done with a secondary account.
    Having separate iCloud accounts, doesn't mean you have to have separate iTunes accounts, so whilst you keep your personal data separate, you can continue to share music, apps, books, TV shows, movies etc.

  • HT5557 my books from iTunes disappeared?

    How can I recover all my purchased books and transfered them on iBooks?

    I'm not sure what you mean by 'transferred them on iBooks' ?
    If you want to redownload them on your computer's iTunes then you can do so (if they are still in your country's store) via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage. If your computer is a Mac with OS X Mavericks on it then you can also redownload them via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the Featured tab in the ibookstore in the iBooks app on your Mac.
    Or you can redownload them directly on your iOS device via the Purchased tab in the ibookstore in the iBooks app on it.
    If you mean something else ... ?

  • I bought an audio book on iTunes and it charged me for two of the same book and downloaded two.  How do I get my money back for one of them?

    I purchased an audio book on iTunes store and was charged for two and downloaded two of the same book.  How do I get my money back for the second one?

    Try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption
    Note that audiobooks are currently a one-time only download from the store, so you may want to take a backup copy of it

  • IPhone doesn't show anywhere except in iTunes and device manager.

    My iPhone working, tethering and syncing property but does not show anywhere else. I need to back up the photos after some recent events and on a PC which just creates an encrypted file in an Apple file folder.
    I can see the phone using an external program but the copy functions not there anymore. Picture wizard says there is no camera there. I have tried uninstalling the device and re-install. I have removed and installed iTunes and now have restore the phone completely. Picture wizard says there is no camera there. It does show in device manager and iTunes but oesn't show in Windows Explorer.
    If I plug it into another computer it doesn't show in that either. Had a client over last night and his iPhone showed up on both computers and both started the camera wizard, So I'm thinking it's something in the phone. I need the photos backed up.
    Thanks

    This has really stumped me. I'm fairly well read on the iPhone software and related stuff. I also had some other tech savvy guys here last night and three brains had no answers. One thinks it must be hardware. I tend to disagree with that only because it charges, syncs, restores which tells me the hardware is working fine. i keeping this in mind that it's visible in iTunes(A) and Device Manager(XP). It's not visible in My Computer, Windows, Explorer or Control Panel. I can run a third party application on the iPhone and can see photos but the application won't let me copy them. I have some important photos that I need backed up. I have tried the phone on four other computers and it doesn't show on any where as the other phone shows up and works the way it should on those four computers. Same with reinstalling the drives, first one doesn't install, second one does. That simply narrows it down to the phone. I've restored the phone and it worked perfectly replacing the photos, oh and it was also working 6 weeks ago. So what's stopping it???? Arrr... its got me. I can usually fix those type of issues.

  • Is there a way to make a smart "playlist" of specific books in my iTunes library, and copy ONLY THOSE books to an iOS device? I own an iPad and an iPhone but I want different books on different devices.

    Is there a way to make a smart "playlist" of specific books in my iTunes library, and copy ONLY THOSE books to an iOS device? I own an iPad and an iPhone but I want different books on each different device. When I've tried this, the iOS devices don't seem to respond.

    There is no playlist for iBooks, butther eis nothing to preent you from choosing to download specific titles from itunes, or syncing just specific titles to an individual device.

  • HT1848 I downloaded a book on itunes on one computer and it is not listed on a seconded computer.  Same account.  I have tried updating purchases and transferring recent purchases, transferring purchases from another devices.  Still does not appear.

    I purchased a book on one macbook in my itunes account.  I tried to open it on another account while logging into itunes account.  The book does not appear.
    I have tried updating purchases, the bottom at the bottom-update purchases from another device.  Still does not appear.

    If it's an audiobook then you will need to copy it over from the first computer to the second computer - audiobooks are currently one-time only downloads, so they won't appear under the Purchased link for re-downloading.  If you copied it onto a device from the first computer then you should be able to copy it off that device to the second computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases. If it's not on a device and both computers are on the same wifi network then you should be able to copy it over via home sharing (there are instructions on this page), or you can copy it to, for example, a flash drive (you can find it's location on the first computer by control-clicking it in your iTunes library and selecting 'Show In Finder') and then add it to the second computer's iTunes (File > Add To Library).
    If it's an ibook then you should be able to re-download it from the store : re-downloading.

  • I bought a book on itunes, and can't open it. tried to send it to my iphone so i could read it there and it won't let me carry it over. I have updated Ibook on my iphone. What do I do? I do not want to buy the book again.

    You won't be able to open it on your computer, ibooks can currently only be read in the iBooks app on an iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch. How were you trying to get it to your phone, syncing it by selecting it on the iPhone's Books tab when connected to your computer's iTunes, or by dragging-and-dropping it from the Books part of your iTunes library over and onto the iPhone 'device' ?  Another option is to try re-downloading it directly in the iBooks app on your iPhone via the Purchased tab in the ibookstore in it (re-downloading).

  • HT1386 I just downloaded four books through iTunes. I tried 5 times to sync the books onto my iPhone. They do not appear on the iPhone. Previously purchased books had synced fine. I selected sync all books; and also tried selecting all books individually.

    I just downloaded four books through iTunes. I tried 5 times to sync the books onto my iPhone. They did NOT appear on my iPhone. Previous books synced without problems. I tired syncing ALL books, and also selected book by selecting the new books. No luck. What do/can I do now. iTunes prevents me downloading again. The books show on the computer. I cannot redownload direct to my iPhone now as iTunes indicates the books are already downloaded.What do/can I do now?

    You got the new iphone?????   I have same problem.  I transferred audiobooks to device to find no audiobooks on device (despite it being in iTunes as if it was).  Have you found a solution?????   I even tried to change import settings on format transfer but hasn't worked. 

  • Hi, I have purchased an audio book on iTunes from an iMac and it does not show up on the cloud so I can't download it on my iPhone. Does anyone know why and how I can proceed to transfer the audio book purchase?

    Hi
    I have purchased an audio book from iTunes with my iMac.
    Now I wanted to listen to it on my iPhone so I proceeded to transfer the purchase and looked for the book in the purchased section of the store in the iTunes on my iPhone but it did not show up.
    Does anyone know why and how I can transfer the audio book purchased on my iPhone so I can listen while away from the desk?
    Thank you,
    Sanya

    Can you find the audio book by using the Search feature on the iPod?
    Do you have the right boxes checked to sync the audio book to the iPod?
    iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod
    Note you have to check the boxes in Books pane for the iPod in iTunes to sync books in general and another box to sync Audio Books.
