Itunes not synching apps and books

Hello,
suddenly itunes stopped synching with both my ipad (3rd generation) and my iPhone 3GS.
It properly connects (both with WIFI and with cable), does a backup but it doesn’t copy applications or books.
How can I make it work again?
Thanks.
Andrea

USB makes no difference. It's in the window iPod preferences of Itunes: I tab to the box "Contacts" and "Calendars" is. And each in turn is UNticked! On trying to tick it, a window pops up "no contacts available" (and "no calendars..." on the other).
and it continues".... contact synching cannot be enabled.... do you want to open address book and create contacts now..."
on clicking "open address book" it opens with all my contacts in it as before but does not link! (same with iCal).
That's something I had no probs with before. Seems to be an internal "link" somewhere that's not recognising my existing calendar/address book.

Itunes not synching calendar and address book to ipod

Hiya, has anyone come across this?
I plug in my ipod to firewire as normnal, Itunes pops up as normal, it updates the music etc. But it refuses to update my contacts and calendar. The boxes in the preferences are NOT ticked, and when I try to tick (update all contacts etc), it comes up with a window "there is no calendar / address book...." and when i press "open...for me" the address book / calendar opens, but doesn't do anything else.
I have already trashed the plists of itunes and the actual application and downloaded a fresh version of itunes. Still the same. the update ot OSX 10.4.4 did not solve this either

As long as the apps and ibooks are still available in the store, and you use the same iTunes account as you originally used to buy them, then you should be able to re-download them for free : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519

HT201272 1 track from iTunes is only playing until 3:50 (should be 14:48). Rest of album is OK. Happens on computer & iPod. How do I fix that track? "Purchased (new)" on right side of iTunes doesn't give me a Music option - just Apps and Books.

Hello,
I've purchased and downloaded an album from the iTunes store. It has 5 tracks. Tracks 1-4 are all fine. Track 5 is broken - it should have approx 15 minutes of music, but only plays to just under 4 minutes. This happens on my computer and on my iPod. How can I fix this please?
I've tried going to the "Purchased (new)" option in the quick links on the right hand side of the iTunes store. I thought I'd see an option for "Music" on the page it takes me to, but I don't get that option: I only see Apps and Books.
I'm using the computer that I purchased and downloaded the album from. It is authorised for this account.
I'm not aware of interrupting the download yesterday - it all seemed OK to me at the time and I thought it had completed successfully.
The album is Dvořák: Cello Concerto, Zuill Bailey, Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra & Jun Markl. It's the last track (In Nature's Realm) that's got the problem.
Thanks for any help.

Unfortunately you can't redownload music in all countries, as you have found.
You can however contact iTunes support regarding this issue here:

UK iTunes store only has Apps and Books on the purchased tab...

UK iTunes store only has Apps and Books on the purchased tab. I've purchased alot of music recently on my iPhone and iPod and when trying to sync I got an error of -1009 so I decided to download from iCloud but it only has Apps and Books no music. Does anyone know what I can do?
Currently Running:
Mac OSX Lion
iOS 5 (Beta)

Apple , The Performing Rights Association, copy right owners and music labels have no agreement or even timeframe in which remote storage of purchased music as defined by the iClound service can be offered in the UK.
Even off the record comments indicate perhaps sometime in 2012 at the earliest.
This may be an attempt to break the strangle hold of iTunes and allow further growth of Spotify or other services

Next time an app update gets stuck try a reset. Press and hold both the home and power buttons for10-15 seconds till the Apple logo appears. Then release both buttons. Wait till your iPad starts on it's own. Try now. Also YouTube is still available. If you can't find it the the app store go to the bottom of the app store page and tap purchased. All your deleted apps will be listed and you can reinstall YouTube from there.

How do I retrieve apps and books that were lost in recent software update for my iPad?

Is it possible to retrieve lost apps and books in recent software update?

Yes it should be possible deppending on your version of ios on your ipad. In the app store you can go to "purchased" and download any apps you've previously purchased. I'm not sure if this will also work for books or not. Also, if you haved synced your ipad to your computer, itunes will have all your data (books, apps, music etc...) and you can load it all back up.

I am trying to re-download some songs I deleted by mistake. I go to purchases and it only shows me options for Apps and Books, no list for Music. How can I get the music list to show up or alternatively how can I re-download the songs?

I messed up and deleted a few songs by mistake. When I go to the "purchases" option it only lists apps and books that have been downloaded, but music is not an option to see what was downloaded previously. Anyone know how I can re-download the songs ?
Thanks for any help! I am using the most recent version of iTunes.

I have been having the same problem.. and yes, I am in the US. I have tried reinsatllin gitunes several time and that doesn't work either

Please help with "missing" apps and book purchases.

I lost some books on Kindle and some apps I purchased when I updated my iPad for the first time last week I realize now that I should have paid more attention to the warning messages I received while updating, and that some of the purchases I made were not on my device??. I need to find the apps and books and restore them. I looked up my purchase history and they were not there. I think I have multiple accounts and they might be hiding there.
Thanks for your help.

Your Kindle books can be downloaded again in the Kindle App. Launch the Kindle app and tap on Cloud at the bottom. That will show all of your books in the Kindle cloud. Tap on the arrow to download your books again.
If you think that you have multiple Apple ID's, you have to know what they are in order to download the content again from that account. You can sign out of the ID that you using now by going to Settings>iTunes & App Stores>Apple ID. You can tap the ID and sign out, but you still have to know what your other ID is in order to sign into that account and restore your purchases.

It has to do with licensing and copyright laws varying worldwide.
Yes, I know. Which is why I won't argue over it. As I said I've never had an issue with it when travelling.
And Apparently the purchase is working fine for the OP, its the actual download that gets hung up.
Anyway, If the Purchase is going fine, then its more likely an issue with the internet connection.
Are you on Cell service when trying to download rather than Wifi?

I have changed my Apple ID, but then I cannot access all the apps and books I purchased in the past with my previous ID? How can I recover my purchased items?

I have changed successfully my Apple ID. But when opening iTune with my new Apple ID, I don't see all the apps and books I purchased before changing the Apple ID. I appreciate if someone would let me know why and how can I access to my purchased items again.
Thanks.

If you are referring to an iDevice, sign out of your new Apple ID and sign back in with your old one - they should all be there.

Can't be done with iTunes. You can do it with the app PhotoSync. It will transfer videos back to camera roll.

What happens when you click the "Download" button for Mountain Lion? Do you get any response (error messages, etc.) from the Mac App Store?

Update in my Mac App Store. It is Angry Birds for Mac. Not my app and the Apple ID that it is registered to is not mine. Can't Delete it. Any ideas

You installed a hacked app, originally from the Mac App Store. It contains the receipt for a different app, downloaded using an account that you don't control. You need to identify and remove the hacked app.
Important: The app you need to remove may not be the one named in the update notice. For example, the App Store could prompt you to update "Angry Birds" or "Twitter," but the hacked app could be "Final Cut Pro." Don't make any assumptions about which app you're looking for. To find it, you must carry out a systematic search with Spotlight.
1. Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
kMDItemAppStoreHasReceipt=1
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
2. In the Finder, press command-F to open a search window, or select
          File ▹ Find
from the menu bar. In the search window, select
          Search: This Mac
from the row of tokens below the toolbar. Below that is a popup menu of search criteria, initially showing Kind. From that menu, select
          Other...
A sheet will drop down. In that sheet, select
          Raw Query
as the criterion, then click OK or press return.
Now there will be a text box to the right of the menu of search criteria. That's where you enter the raw search query. Click in that box and paste the text you copied earlier by pressing command-V.
3. The search window will now show all the App Store products that are installed. Compare those search results with the list of your purchases from the App Store. To see the complete list, you may need to unhide hidden purchases. If any apps were download from the App Store using other Apple ID accounts that you control, sign in to the store under each of those ID's and check the purchases.
4. At least one of the apps in the Spotlight search results is not among your purchases in the App Store. Move each such item to the Trash, after quitting it if it's running. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Empty the Trash.
5. Quit and relaunch the App Store. Test.
If you find these instructions confusing, ask for an alternative method.
