IPad2 not syncing iBook PDFs from iPhone

I have PDFs on my iPhone in iBooks.  I have syncing turned on for my iPad2 and iPhone for iBooks.  I have wirelss syncing checked for both also.  But, PDFs from iPhone will not sync wirelessly to iPad iBook library. Any help?!?

Not sure whether your question being struck through means that you've found the answer or not, but if not then the Settings > iBooks options don't sync items between devices, it only keeps what you already have on both devices in-line with each other - you will need to sync the PDFs to the other device yourself (even though they aren't iTunes purchases you should be able to copy them to your computer's iTunes via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases)

  • ICal not syncing on iCloud from iPhone to MacBook

    Recently noticed that new entries on my iCal on iPhone are not syncing on iCloud with the iCal details on my MacBook. No problem the other way (initial entry on MacBook syncing with iPhone) or indeed any other apps / Mail / Contacts etc. Have checked all items are 'on' in systems preferences and have re-booted the iPhone - to no avail.  
    Any suggestions?

    I followed the steps Ticklesneezer suggested (disable 'Calendars' in iCloud, reboot each machine, re-enable 'Calendars' in iCloud, starting with iPhone), and it did not work.
    I think it has to do with the fact that I just started syncing my iMac calendar about a month ago. Since then, the following has occurred:
    - For iCloud entries: new entries sync fine, but older entries (older than one month) only show up on my iMac, not on my iPhone -- and those are the entries I actually created on my iPhone, so they appear to have been added to the iMac and deleted from the iPhone. I checked to make sure that the older entries are in the iCloud calendar, and they are.
    - For Exchange entries (the calendar synced through my Outlook mail account from work): new entries sync fine, but older entries (older than one month) only show up on my iPhone, not on my iMac.
    I need to be able to access the older entries from both devices.
    Any other suggestions?

  • My iPad will not sync photo stream from iPhone

    My iPad ios7 will not sync my photo stream. It only received 1/4 of my photos. My iPhone ios6 has the correct photo stream. Tried Turing off photo stream on iPad, afraid to turn off photo stream on iPhone as I may lose data. I know the photo stream limit is 1000 so I keep it at 900. iPad is fully updated. iPhone all apps are fully updated. Same Apple ID is signed in across 2 devices for iCloud. Both are backed up on same wifi. Loading iTunes just to back up photo stream seems silly but maybe forced to.     Thank you.

    Check this out - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4486.
    How long are My Photo Stream photos stored in iCloud?
    The photos you upload to My Photo Stream are stored in iCloud for 30 days to give your devices plenty of time to connect and download them.

  • I'm trying to restore my iPhone 5 to the original settings because it did not sync my contacts from my last phone (it synced from my husband's phone instead).  I keep getting a message saying that files were corrupt so it couldn't restore settings. Ideas?

    I'm trying to restore my iPhone 5 to the original settings because it did not sync my contacts from my last phone (it synced from my husband's phone instead).  I am trying to delete everything so I can back it up from my previous phone and not my husband's.  I keep getting a message saying that files were corrupt so it couldn't restore settings. Ideas?

    I tried following the instructions listed in the following thread:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/19512128#19512128
    but have still been unable to backup data using the third party software.
    TouchCopy tells me I have no photos or Video ad won't alllow me to copy any of the critical files e.g. Notes, Calendar, Contacts, Messages, etc.
    Anyone have any other suggestions for backing up my iPhone? Or help using TouchCopy?
    If I am ever able to get TouchCopy to work, should I be using Copy to iTunes or Copy to PC option?
    Thanks!

  • Just got my iPad and when syncing photos will only sync recent photos taken on iPhone - will not sync any photos from my albums or events despite selecting all events

    Just got my iPad and when syncing photos will only sync recent photos taken on iPhone - will not sync any photos from my albums or events despite selecting all events or even when i select specific events or albums.

    What is the file name of the video(s) you want to sync?
    Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
    Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
    Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

  • When I sync with my iPad2, not all playlists come from my computer to the ipad - why?

    When I sync with my iPad2, not all playlists come from my computer to the ipad - why?

    Try deleting the photo cache from your computer and then re-try the photo sync and see if they then copy over correctly - the location of the cache, and how to delete it, is on this page http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1314

  • Can't transfer iBooks pdfs from first gen iPad to new MacBook Pro

    I have a bunch of important pdf files on a first gen iPad (iOS 5.1.1) that I want to transfer to iBooks in a 13" MacBook Retina.
    In iTunes, choosing Devices >Transfer Purchases from My iPad isn't moving them over. I've been able to transfer all the non iBooks pdfs from GoodReader, etc. In iTunes, I can see them in the Books section of "On This iPad" but can't do anything but view info.
    In iBooks, choosing File >Move Books from iTunes isn't doing it either.
    Syncing warns me that it's going to delete the iPad files.
    I'd rather not pay for 3rd party software if I can avoid it.
    Thanks.

    No they're not in the iTunes library. Purchased titles transferred and a few other things but a bunch of DRM-free pdfs and DRM-free EPUBS won't Budge.
    "Or you don't see them with the iPad connected to the Mac, with iTunes running, the iPad selected under devices and then look in the books tab of iTunes on the right?"...
    No. However, if I go a couple tabs further to the right, to "On This iPad" and select Books in the left column, they're all listed. I just can't do anything but view their info or rate them.

  • Problems syncing voice memos from iphone

    When I am syncing my iphone, even though I have the "sync voice memos" box checked, my computer does not sync voice memos from my iphone.  There is a voice memo playlist in my computer's iTunes but it does not show as a possible playlist to sync with my iphone.  Can you help me?

    Same problem. I just noticed that when I click the triangle next to my mounted iphone in itunes and then select the voice memos playlist (which should give me a window into what is actually on the phone) it does not show any voice memos past a date in June - and I have several dozen memos recorded since then.  They are there when I look at them on the phone itself from within the voice memos app.
    It seems that for some reason itunes just can't tell they are there??

  • ITunes 10.6 not syncing purchased music to iPhone iOS 5.1

    I upgraded iTunes to version 10.6 and my iPhone to iOS 5.1. iTunes will not sync purchased music from the iTunes store. In the past, I have been able to sync these purchases via iTunes. Now they appear greyed out on my iPhone 4S.
    When I go into the App Store from my iPhone, I am able to download my purchases, but there are many and tapping on them one by one is not something I want to do EVERY time I update my iPhone to a newer OS. I would like to sync from my computer since those files are on my computer and I can play them in iTunes.

    I have also tried adding my music into a different playlist and it will still not sync half of my songs.  I have also deleted the Purchased playlist and copied them back into it again... still nothing works
    This is quite silly!

    My problem - when syncing and error messages  comes up:  iTunes could not sync calendars to the iPhone because an error occurred while margin data."  I've tried turning the phone off and back on, & tried both USB ports but get the same thing.  What can I do next since it doesn't give me even one clue as to what the error would be?

    Before I started to resync calendars one by one as suggested in the troubleshooting article, I remembered something that came up in a sync when I first attempted :  a 'which one do you want to keep' message about a repeating calendar event, which came up with three options, one from Calendar, and two from iCal on the phone.  I deleted that event, then went through the calendar resync one by one, and all seems OK now.
    In Music there is a way to find 'ghost' items that show up as grayed-out on the menus, so that you can try to reassociate or delete them.  It would be nice to have a similar way to work with Calendar!
    Thanks for pointing me to the right article.

  • "iTunes could not sync calendars to the iPhone "name" because the sync server failed to sync the iPhone".

    I get the message "iTunes could not sync calendars to the iPhone "name" because the sync server failed to sync the iPhone" every time I sync the iPhone 3GS with iTunes by USB.  Can anyone help? Please !!!!

    I posted the following to "iTunes could not sync calendars to the iPhone "xx" because the sync server failed to sync the iPhone. What does this mean??" at https://discussions.apple.com/message/15820680#15820680
    I haven't seen it mentioned but the secret is to
    Sync only selected calendars
    Select "Remove Calendars" from the popup window
    (This is ambigous: from where are the calendars removed?  From the device being synced to)
    Click apply.
    Oops!  My memory is already gone stale.  I think I left no calendars selected, then clicked apply.  Then I selected the calendars that I wanted, then clicked apply.
    In any case, I had a blank calendar on my iPad and then I had all the updated events that I wanted on my iPad.
    Thanks to all who provided some of the essential clues to resolving this problem.

  • ITunes could not sync contacts to the iPhone because an error occurred

    When I connect my iPhone to my iMac (OSX version 10.6.6), and open iTunes and select "sync" - everything syncs (my Apps, Music, Movies, TV Shows, Podcasts, books, Photos and Calendars). However, I get an error message popping up saying: "iTunes could not sync contacts to the iPhone because an error occurred while merging data".
    I have unchecked the contacts button in iTunes and then sync works fine.
    I have deleted all my contact in my Address Book on my iMac and tried to sync. Again, same error message as above.
    I have not tried to restore the iPhone as I am worried to loose my contacts saved on my iPhone.
    Who know how to solve this problem? Thanks

    Hi Charlotte
    I had the same problem for one year now and it affected my contacts, then later my calendar.
    I followed the Apple troubleshooting guides and finally managed to make it work again.
    First try the following guide:
    iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Troubleshooting contact and calendar syncing via USB on Window
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1692
    For me I noticed that after I updated ITunes to latest version (using the full uninstall from the last point of the guide above, section "Reinstall Apple Mobile Device Support and iTunes"), I could sync with another Windows user account (on another computer actually)
    Since I wanted my own account to sync again, I then used the advanced troubleshooting guide:
    Advanced troubleshooting for Sync Services on Windows with Microsoft Outlook 2003, Outlook 2007, or Outlook 2010
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2776
    In my case the point 4 in this guide helped, but since I had no MobileMe, I just killed the OS process SyncServer.exe, then renamed the SyncServices folder to SyncServices.old and restarted the PC.
    You should try all the steps in both guides in the order mentioned, to see which one can help, I don't advise you to start directly with a step in a guide
    Good luck

  • HT4623 itunes could not sync infomation to the iphone because aconnection could not be established to the phone

    itunes could not sync infomation to the iphone because aconnection could not be established to the phone

    [Reposting from another, similar thread which I started]
    Hey.  I "fixed" the issue for myself, although this fix might not be available to you.  I have a home laptop and a work desktop both running W7. I was syncing contacts with my work computer because that's where most of my contacts originate, but it isn't essential that I do so.  I exported my contact database from my work Outlook to a .pst file, dropped it in Dropbox, came home and loaded the updated contacts, and then synced the phone.  It worked fine and I suppose that's how I'll have to do it from now on.
    I've had random problems since our company "upgraded" to a Windows Exchange server with user data getting corrupted.  After the server pushes updates to our desktops, I've had things like Firefox settings disappearing and such.  I assume this was similar and iTunes couldn't find my contact database, or it was corrupted in such a way that it still works fine in Outlook but can't sync.  Anyway, I don't have the time or patience to solve this on the work box and I don't know if I ever could.  My eventual fix (probably coming soon) will be to buy a 4S  
    Good luck with your phone.  Have you tried a restore?

  • ITunes could not sync contacts to the iPhone because the sync server...

    has anyone else gotten this message? and if so, what's the fix. i've talked to a "level 2" tech at apple and he had no clue.
    "iTunes could not sync contacts to the iPhone because the sync server failed to sync the iphone"
    this happens if i have contacts checked to sync. it synced fine on 6/30 but have been getting this problem today 7/1.

    I'm having this same problem and I've tried all the other fixes in this forum, except yours. Could you please be more specific? My question is below:
    1.) erased the iPhone via iPhone settings. --> where is "iPhone settings"?
    2.) deleted my pda from iSync
    3.) plugged in the iPhone and restored it via iTunes
    4.) resynced and everything is back to normal.
