In Book, syncing style source reverts all styled elements to basic paragraph

I have paragraph styles ( "Header 1", "Header 2", etc. ) set up in a master document. When I sync those styles to the other documents in the book, all the styled elements ( "Header 1", "Header 2", etc. ) are reset to basic paragraph instead of updating to the updated styles ( or just remaining untouched ). The paragraph styles exist in both documents and are named the same.
This happens in some documents while others behave as expected. I've tried starting over by: starting a new document, pasting raw text, reassigning paragraph styles. This either works or doesn't—or even works and then stops working.
What's happening?

I was having this same problem. I'm on CS6 and updated an existing book with 12 different files. First, I updated some aspects of the styles (Paragraph, Character and Object) in the master document and grouped them for organization's sake. Then when I synchronized, all of the text defaulted to Body Copy, even my headings. So I went back to the master doc and ungrouped them, saved, resynchronized, reapplied styles and saved that doc. To see if it was still happening, I synchronized again. Problem repeated: everything that wasn't locked on the master was reset to my Body Copy style.
Then I got to thinking... I went back to my default text box object style in the master doc and changed the paragraph style to a header that automatically applies the next style. As suspected, when I resynched, all of my text in the unlocked boxes switched to that NEW style. There was nothing wrong with my TEXT styles, but with my OBJECT styles. Check your text box defaults and make sure "Paragraph Styles" is unchecked.

[JS CS3] Find/Change "[Basic Paragraph]" style

I'm trying to find all occurances of the [Basic Paragraph] style and replace them with [No Paragraph Style]. I'm using:
app.findTextPreferences.appliedParagraphStyle = "[Basic Paragraph Style]";
app.changeTextPreferences.appliedParagraphStyle = "[No Paragraph Style]";
I get the message "Invalid value for set property 'appliedParagraphStyle'. Expected String, ParagraphStyle or NothingEnum enumerator, but received "[Basic Paragraph Style]"."
I've tried every combination of brackets, no brackets, quotes, no quotes, etc. It doesn't seem like this can be scripted, even though it can be done via find/change in InDesign. Am I banging my head against the wall? Does anyone know if this can be done?

"[Basic Paragraph]" as shown in the code below doesn't work either. (the word "Style" actually snuck in as I was trying different variations. But no combination seems to work.
If anyone knows that [Basic Paragraph] can or cannot be accessed via scripting, I'd like to know. Thanks.
app.findTextPreferences.appliedParagraphStyle = "[Basic Paragraph]";
app.changeTextPreferences.appliedParagraphStyle = "[No Paragraph Style]";

After iBooks purchase on iPad, Books sync in iTunes incorrectly switches away from "All Books"

Background:
iTunes 11.4 on OSX 10.9.5
iPad running iOS 8.0 (12A365)
iPhone running iOS 8.0 (12A365)
same behaviour observed w. iOS 7.x and iTunes 11.x
I have a largish library of ~500 books and PDFs, managed via Books v1.0.1 on OSX. I sync all of my content to both the iPhone and iPad in its entirety as it contains both light reading and technical content for work and reference.
I've noticed that sometimes my library of books gets out of sync between the three devices and hadn't narrowed the cause. Last week I got caught without some important info available to me due to the issue, so I invested some time tracking it down.
Issue:
With iTunes set under the Device sync setting to sync "All Books" and both ends currently in (content) sync, if you make a purchase on the iPad/iPhone via iBooks so that a new book is added to the device library … and then plug in via USB to OSX and sync the device in iTunes. iTunes will toggle the "All Books" option to "Selected Books" and only select the single entry just purchased.
That causes the new book to be synced successfully to the OSX Books library (where it was already pending as a cloud purchase anyway), but now the issue is that iTunes retains the "Selected Books" sync setting going forward for that device (with whatever context that may be referring to lost). Hence further additions to the OSX Books library and/or the iPad/iPhone library are ignored for syncing going forward, until such time as you realise and manually revert the setting to "All Books" as required.
It seems some of the behaviour on book purchasing/library changes is definitely broken and has been so for quite some time (at least last 2-3 releases of iTunes). Interestingly, adding a PDF to iBooks on the iPad/iPhone (such as via the services menu from a Safari page) seems to trigger the behaviour sometimes but not with the same repeatability.
Can anyone else verify this behaviour or know if its a reported issue?

Sorry, I was only able to get back to this issue today, but it worked.
Thank you again Michael for your help. It was as simple as just buyng a free book from the iTunes store to create a Books area, then I was able to drag and drop my 3rd party book there.
Still, I feel that there should already be a Books area in iTunes, but perhaps I am the only one who has updated iTunes on a computer without any previously purchased books on it from the iTunes store.

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.

I synced about 50 books to my new ipad air 2. When I click any other books, the sync starts all over again for all books (it shows 51 books syncing). If I abort the sync, all of a sudden, all books are gone from my ipad. I don't know why.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi were you able to resolve yours?
I was very worried losing all my medical stuff on my iPad Air 2, plus i have nothing to use for the next day! So i have to try all the possible things i read on the internet!! And this worked on my part (Thank God, and thank you Google)
Perform a hard reboot
Hold down the Home button and Power button on your iPhone or iPad and keep holding them until you see the Apple logo. Once you do, you can let go. When your device boots back up, go ahead and check to see if the apps have started re-downloading. If they still appear to be stuck, continue on.

Why won't my computer's address book sync ALL of my contacts with my iPhone? no MobileMe, no iCloud, just straight from computer to phone.

Why won't my computer's address book sync ALL of my contacts with my iPhone? No MobileMe, no iCloud, just straight from computer to phone. I have checked all the settings and all seems correct. It simply won't pull in all of the contacts. Last time, it added some new ones, but deleted others.

I found the route of the problem! All the songs under 'On This Phone' are completely grayed out! The only question is now how do I ungray them???

Syncing styles between Word and RH HTML 7

Question about syncing styles between Word and RH HTML 7.The
printed Word format has Hdr/Ftr, TOC, Title Page stuff.
I understood that, when importing a Word .docx, RH creates
books for Heading 1s and Topic headings are Heading 2. That is why
both Word and RH templates use the same paragraph style names
(though the format in Word/print differs from that in RH/online).
I imported my Word file into a new RH HTML 7 project. The TOC
has the expected books/topics/subtopics. I imported the .css and
the .htt from the RH 5 template project. I selected all 160 topics
in the Topic List pod and applied the corporate .htt template
(Topic Properties > General) AND (to be certain), the corporate
.css stylesheet (Topic Properties . Appearance).
This project doesn't have the same characteristics as the
base/master from RH 5 that uses those same format files. I even
imported the same skin. I get the banner, but not the styles.
All the topic headings in the RH 7 project (were transformed
to) are Heading 1 styles, even though they were Heading 2s in Word.
(this breaks with my tribal knowledge of how RH imports
Books/Topics from a Word doc). The heading colors (navy blue, royal
blue, etc.) have taken on their own definitions--dunno where from,
tho.
Since I'm OCD about creating and using one style for each
type of paragraph (procedurehead, syntax, procnum, procnonum, note,
bullist) in Word or in RH, Peter Grainger's suggestion to "clean
up" styles before importing shouldn't apply.
RH instructions omit any detail about what to specifiy in the
Conversion Options and Split On Style. I took a couple of swipes at
the SOS--OK, split on Heading 1, Heading 2, Heading 3. So I get
Books for Heading 1, separate topics for Heading 2 and Heading 3,
but the "topic titles" have become Heading 1 in name but not in
format. In fact, the format doesn't match anything I've specified
in Word or RH. I thought by "attaching" the .htt and the .css to
each topic (select all topics, , I'd have the look and feel I
specified in my corporate RH(5) template. The banner imported, the
navigation pane and icons imported. What happened to the styles?
Here's the missing link that someone may need to explain
(explicitly in Help somewhere). When I open the .htt template
(sample topic) that I imported from RH 5, the topic title shows as
Document > Heading 2 > in the Design view. The HTML view
labels this paragraph as h2:
<!doctype HTML public "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0
Frameset//EN">
<html><head>

<h2>NameOfPackage: NameOfMethod</h2>

Hi Jim,
Don't know how useful my question is now, given that you posted over a year ago.
Do your RH X5 Word source docs use styles? If so, take a look here, and I detail how I have been able to import from RH X5 for Word to RH 7 HTML. (I'm currently still working on a leftover issue with Keywords and Subkeywords.)
One thing I have done which probably helped: while applying new standards to our documentation, we have removed almost all images (screen shots, etc.), and have only retained those images which don't have a text equivalent. The drastically reduced the import file size of my Word source docs. All my images were referenced via TrueCode, but upon importing to RH 7 HTML, there was so much less to be processed by RH 7 HTML, that the import went much more easily and quickly.
I hope this helps,
Marjorie

You need to use the backup of your PC to transfer all the music files to iTunes on the Mac.
If you have no backup then you have a difficult task ahead of you as iTunes will only allow you to sync purchased music from the iPhone back into iTunes. Any music you loaded into iTunes yourself will not transfer from the iPhone to iTunes, this is to prevent stealing of music. To sync iTunes purchased music from the iPhone to iTunes, connect the iPhone and open iTunes, but when asked do NOT sync the device. then right click on the iPhone in the iTunes source list and select the 'Transfer Purchases' option, you will also find this commend in the File menu.
If you are in the US, you can use the new iTunes in the Could feature to redownload your iTunes purchased music / apps / books for free.
If you want to transfer all the content from your iPhone to you Mac then you will need to use Google to find a 3rd party piece of software that will do this for you.

I have an ipod nano and use one click digital to download books from my library. My nano says I have 2449 songs which is about 65 books. I have deleted all my playlists after I listen to the audiobook. Now I get a message saying I don't have enough room on my nano to transfer new books to it. My nano is 16 GB and my operating system is Windows 7.

iTunes and Apple's devices work as an ecosystem. iTunes is designed to sync with Apple's products, not anyone else's. You'll need your songs in a format compatable with the Samsung phone and to use the software transfer program supplied/recommended. It is essentially not an Apple/iTunes problem. You may have better luck finding the information you need on Samsung's forums.

Address Book sync to V400 used to work, now no?????

iSync 1.5, Panther 10.3.9 Address Book contacts to Moto V400 used to work with only occasional reset devices necessary and with iCal as well (the iCal data does sync.) Now I have no contacts on the phone and yet the full set are still in Address Book. iSync doesn't mark the non-sync with any error messages. I have limited the sync to 1 computer and just the Address Book contacts to phone with all perameters of reset device or not tried. Any ideas on how to correct this? It used to work just fine.
1.5 GHz G4 PowerBook 1GB SDRAM Mac OS X (10.3.9) iSync 1.5, Motorola V400 phone

I just got off the Phone with Apple Support and they were able to help me fix the problem. Try this:
1) Export all of your address book contacts via vCard
2) Delete all contacts and groups from Address Book
3) Restart your Mac, Address Book
4) Import the vCard contacts back into the Address Book
5) Restart iTunes
6) Sync.
That should do it. Hope this works for you.

Address Book Sync Program

Hi
I am new to the Blackberry. I have a Blackberry 8310 Smartphone.
Here are a few questions:
Is there a reliable Address Book Sync Program? It would be great instead of hand typing it all.
Also Not related to the address book, but How do you get the smiley's and etc for when you text someone?
Thank you,

You can use Outlook for your contacts and then use Desktop Manager to sync between the BB and Outlook. Thats the best method.
You can get smileys for BBMessenger only.

Address Book Sync and SyncServices

Anyone know what "Sync Services" are and why it keeps loading and running "Address Book Sync" and eating up 100% of my Intel CPU? What is this "syncing" with and why? Did my trial subscription to .Mac do this?

Thank you for the quick answer. This looks like something that is programmed into the iLife suite of applications (Address Book, iCal, etc...). I can't find anything on my machine (via Spotlight) that suggest an application that manages this or allows you to turn it off.
I think the reason for the high CPU utilization was my importing a 16,000 entry tab-delimited contact file into Address Book. I guess the Sync framework was busy distributing these new entries to all the other iWorks applications. It's quiet now, so I guess it launches itself when it sees the need to "sync-up" it's other member applications when data changes in one of them.
Thanks again for the help!

How do I turn off Sync without iTunes deleting all the songs on my iPod!

Well that's basically my question. I want to keep all the songs that are already there, but from this point on just add new ones manually. When I unchecked the Sync box it wiped out my iPod. Thanks in advance for any help.
Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

You need to turn off automatic sync before you delete all your tracks from iTunes. If you don't, then you need to prevent the iPod from synching when you connect:
While connecting the iPod to the computer, hold down the Command and Option keys on a Mac. This should stop the iPod from auto synching with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 3 and 25 seconds depending on your computer. Then you can set iTunes to manual synchronization.
Of course, this won't help if your iPod has already had the tracks removed. But you'll know what to do next time.
Regards.
