ITunes can't sync an audiobook with an iPhone!

iTunes will not sync an AudioBook from the iTunes Store
This is ridiculous - Apple charges for an audiobook in the store, but the sync fails so I can't listen to it on my iPhone - lots of similar questions and issues posted to discussion boards, but no solution other than "It should work!" - And it doesn't work - this is a stupid situation in which $'s are taken and services are not rendered!

P.S I have aso reset my iPad as well as my computer to no avail.

MacBook Pro 17" iTunes can't sync address book with iPad Air

Can't sync between MacBook Pro 10.6 OS ver and new iPad Air (bought 2 days ago) cell 32gig. Have been to Apple shop at Garden City WA, helpful but seems very little knowledge of 10.6 OS. Have attempted upgrade on MacBook to Lion OS, persevered and seemed to work. Except now the MacBook won't boot, even choosing drive unit, just spins the icon. Even left it for a few hours just in case it needed time to sort itself out.
Back to Apple shop first thing in the morning, getting MacBook up and running is first priority followed by syncing address book with iPad. If can't sync guess I'll have to return it as having them communicate is why I brought the iPad, something lighter in my brief case instead of carrying the MacBook around.
It became tiring being told the MacBook was old technology, having spent money with Apple upgrading the MacBook drive & memory to cope with Final Cut and Creative suite.
Any advice most welcome!

Figured it out and it wasn't fun. I watched the console messages as I deleted groups and tried to sync with Mobile Me until no error msg was displayed. Then I restored AB from a back up and proceeded to delete contacts one at a time and check for errors until none were displayed. After deleting about half my contacts under the one group I finally found the one contact. I then did another AB restore, deleted the troubled contact, sync'd fine, then did another backup. I have no idea why that one contact was the problem as everything looked fine. Console msgs only showed a silly number as the contact, not the name, which is why I had to go through all this. But...it's fixed.

Itunes don't sync Outlook calender with IPad/IPhone

When I use Itunes to sync Outlook 2013, installed on Windows 8, with IPad/IPhone it will not sync the calender, but the contacts sync very well.
What do I do to solve the problem?
AND ICloud is NOT a solution.

Hey there Tommy,
It sounds like your contacts are syncing without issue, but your calendar info is not. I recommend the troubleshooting from the article named:
Troubleshooting Sync Services on Windows with Microsoft Outlook 2003, Outlook 2007, or Outlook 2010

I'm new to iTunes and can't sync my pc with my iPhone. I don't seem to have a "sidegar" with the new iTunes. Help

Hi I'm new to iPhone and iTunes - I'm trying to sync some music from my PC to my iPhone. I've looked on the net and all the advice says: look at the sidebar and find your device. Easier said than done, The sidebar on my version of iTunes, downloaded today, has only musice related information. I am supposed to click on my device, there is nothing remotely like that on my sidebar, what do I do now?

Ursus,
On the sidebar, "Devices" will only appear when your iPhone is connected to the computer.

I keep this as a copy and paste. It's the same process for Mac as it is for a PC. Read it over and see what you think. Post back if you have questions.
The following was copied from this thread. This is essentially what you want to accomplish.
https://discussions.apple.com/message/11527071#11527071
1) Without connecting your iPad to your laptop, start iTunes. Click on Preferences. Click on Devices. Check the box next to "Prevent your iPod etc. from automatically syncing." Click OK.
2) Now connect your iPad to your Mac and start iTunes.
3) When iTunes starts, right click on your iPad under Devices in the left column. Select Transfer purchases etc.
4) After it finishes transferring all your apps to your new laptop, right click on your iPad and select Backup your iPad.
5) After it finishes backing up your iPad, right click on your iPad and select Restore etc.
6) After it finishes restoring, left click on your iPad , then click on the Apps tab on top, and check the box next to Sync Apps, then click on Apply below.
If everything on your iPad looks good after the sync, go back and click on iTunes / Preferences / Devices and UN-check the box next to Prevent your iPod etc. The only other thing you may want to check is if your contacts, bookmarks, etc. are syncing correctly now. If not, go to the Info tab after connecting and make sure you indicate which features you want to sync with what sources.
Read this thread and the support links as well. There are apps that you can purchase that will allow you to transfer photos from the iPad to your PC. Look at Photo Transfer App in the App store and you can search for others as well.

I can't sync my Music with my iPhone 4. Songs start syncing and after 10-15 songs it stops

When I connect the phone with the cable it starts syncing, but when it comes to upload the music it stops after few songs. I tried to restore the phone and it actually worked, I have like 1200 songs now. But If I add an album (like 10-15 songs) when I sync again it says that it has to add like 1000 songs and as I said it stops almost suddenly.
What should I do?
I have a MacBook Pro with OS X 10.9 and iTunes 11.1.2

oh and apps sync fine, and I recently bought a new cords so I know it can't be a syncing in general failing, it's something to do with the music

HT203156 iTunes no longer syncs Aperture pictures with iPad & iPhone despite emptying iPod Photo cache in my Aperture library

Tried to repair and even rebuild Aperture database as suggested in Help with iTunes Sync - Stuck on importing photos . . . and it does not help.
I also have followed https://photoapps.expert/help/faqs/common-aperture-questions-issues-and-rep/aper ture-photos-arent-syncing-to-my-ipadiphoneipod-correctly.html#.VTVQ3s41TA4
looks like this issue arose with OS X 10.3 and the new Photos app

Just two edits
1/ Sync works with the new Photos app.
2/ iTunes does display Apertures folder / project tree in the photos sync section (allowing you to pick what to sync) yet does NOT display the corresponding number of pictures

I just updated iPhoto, now iTunes won't sync my photos with my iPhone.

Earlier today I was able to sync photos just fine.
Then I updated iPhoto via the Mac App Store.
I connected my iPhone and got this error message from iTunes:
iTunes could not locate a supported photo application. Would you like to change your photo syncing options?
After I updated iPhoto and opened it, I had to upgrade my library. Could this be the problem? What do I do now? Apple Software Update doesn't show a newer version of iTunes available.
iTunes 10.6.3, iPhoto 9.3, OS X 10.7.4

That can sometimes indicate a photo cache issue. If you remove the current ipod photo cache, does that get you past the error?
For instructions on where to find it, see the following document:
iTunes: Understanding the iPod Photo Cache folder

ITunes won't sync my music with my iPhone

I updated iTunes and my iPhone 4 to the latest versions, now my music won't sync. It gets to step 5 of 5 and says "waiting for changes to be apllied." After saying this for a good 3 mins the sync prosses just quits and my music hasn't synced. I ran the sync diagnostics and it came back that everything is good. Clearly it's not though.

Close and relaunch iTunes.
Reboot the computer.
Try a different USB port and cable.

My iTunes won't sync my music with my iPhone 4

I noticed some songs were missing from my iPhone so I unsynced all the songs. When I tried to put them all back on my phone they don't sync. It says they're synced but no luck.

HT1386 When I connect my iPod Touch to a new laptop (Macbook Air) the "Info" tab won't appear and therefore I cannot sync it with my new iTunes. How can I sync this iPod with the iTunes on my new laptop?

There is no Info tab in Mavericks
if you use OS X v.10.8.5 or earlier. If you use OS X Mavericks v.10.9 or later, your contacts, calendars, and other info are updated on your computers and iOS devices via iCloud. For more information, see iCloud Help at icloud.com.

I have a personal email calendar kept on Outlook, I also have an Exchange calender on outlook. I want to sync both calendars with my Iphone 5 /6.1.2 but ITunes only sees the exchange calendar. How can I get Itunes to see both calendars

I have a personal email calendar kept on Outlook 2010, I also have an Exchange calender on Outlook. I want to sync both calendars with my Iphone 5 / 6.1.2 but ITunes only sees the exchange calendar.
How can I get Itunes to see both calendars?

Hi,
you don't need MobileMe or anything fancy. I personally sync my Outlook calendar and my Outlook address book with three computers (two at the office and one at home)and besides I run Office 2003 on one, Office 2007 on the other and Office 2010 on the third, so it can't get more complicated than that, but it works 100%.
First sync Outlook with iTunes on one computer, having done that when you try to sync it to another machine, iTunes will recognize that it is synced with another computer and ask you if you want to merge the data, say yes, That's all there is to it.
It does not work for music as you rightly say but as far as Calendars and Contacts are concerned it's flawless and transparent.
If you hit a snag talk back to me.
Cheers.
