ITunes still lists books that are no longer in library or device

Hi everyone,
Been searching around the internet and on this forum for a solution but have no luck so far. Hopefully I can get some better results by posting this.
Summary of the problem:
My iTunes still shows some old PDFs that are no longer existing in the library. These missing books are listed in the Books section of my iPad (when its connected to the iTunes library). When I connect my iPad to iTunes 12, I can see 2 sections on the left-hand panel - one with the heading "Settings" and another section with the heading "On My Device". Both these sections have a "Books" sub-section under them.The missing books are listed in the "Books" sub-section under the "Settings" section- where I can select the books to sync to the iPad. See picture below:
These are PDFs and books that I used to have but when I moved my library at some point in time earlier, they were not moved together. But they are still listed here and I can't find a way to remove them.
I look forward to any help I can get on this issue.
Thank you!

Use File > Add folder to library... and select your iTunes Media folder. Anthing already in the library will be ignored, anything else will be added. Once the process is complete sort the library on the Date Added column and remove the tracks that have just been added, sending them to the recycle bin.

  • Removing files from iTunes folder that are no longer in library

    Hi all,
    Quick question that I require help answering.
    I'm trying to tidy up my iTunes library/ Physical storage.
    I currently have 1600 songs within iTunes, but through bad management in the past I actually have (I know this after reimporting the library to another machine as a test) 1700 songs within the physical iTunes Folder structure. What I need in order to slipstream my storage is to remove those extra 100 songs lying about in my physical folder without losing the 1600 currently in use and present in iTunes.
    Does anyone have an easy way of removing the extra files?
    Thanking in advance,
    Steve

  • Why does my iPod Classic keep trying to sync items from my iTunes library that are no longer there?

    I have an iPod classic, 160GB model, that keeps trying to sync items that are no longer in my iTunes library, is there a way to stop it from doing this? My iTunes library is on my MacBook Pro (17-inch, Late 2011), 2.4 GHz Intel Core i7, 8 GB 1333 MHz DDR3, AMD Radeon HD 6770M 1024 MB.

    Clarification needed
    Does your iPod clears  your iTunes library or the music in the iPod itself disappears, when your sync the iPod?

    I apologize. I didn't see that you hadn't updated to iOS 7. That's an iOS 7 option. With iOS 6, you'd need to restore the device as new. Note that that will result in your phone being updated to iOS 7.
    Best of luck.

  • How can I get my books that I download from the Library that are WMA files into my I tunes so I can listen to them

    How can I get my books that I download from the Library that are WMA files into my I tunes so I can listen to them. They have a ton of books but I can only listen to them from my windows media player and I wouldlove to download to my I pod but I have tried everything I can think of it they won't go over.  Someone said all I had to do was copy them over and they would convert but I can't even get them to copy.  Thanks.

    Well it started happening AGAIN with my 2nd IPod. No matter what I did, it Itunes would NOT restore it!
    I finally installed Itunes on my hubby's PC at work and managed to get it restored there.
    Apparently, there must be some sort of compatibility issue with the windows version of Itunes and some other piece of software on my pc.
    And one more important thing! I had to follow the instructions in the other thread that talks about how to correctly uninstall itunes and quicktime, in order to completely eliminate ALL traces of my "first" ipod's existence so it wouldn't demand that I restore it.
    I think the software got "confused" and thought when I connected my 2nd ipod, that it was the 1st and that it still needed to be restored.
    Basically, this is just POORLY written and POORLY tested software!

  • Can you please CLEAN up the podcasts that are no longer in service or being maintained? It's very tedious to click on someone's podcast to find that it hasn't been updated in 3 years.

    You are right, a lot of older dead podcasts do not belong in the podcasts section. But there is still a lot of these podcasts that have good information and deserve to still be listed. For example there is quite a few photography lesson based podcasts in which you can get good information from different sources.

  • How do you deauthorize computers that are no longer functional?

    How do you deauthorize computers that are no longer functional?

    i followed the directions to deauthorize one "fried" computer and one old Windows laptop i no longer use from my new MacBook Pro.  When i go into iTunes on my new MacBook Pro, however, iTunes says i still have 5 authorized computers and i can't set up my music on my laptop using iTunes Match.  I did not deauthorize all my computers because i still have an iphone and two ipads.  Now that i've invoked deauthorize, what am i supposed to do for the next 12 months until i can deauthorize again?

  • HT202213 I need to delete computers that are no longer active from my home sharing account, how do I do this?

    I need to delete computers that are no longer active from my itunes Home sharing account so that I can sign up the new computers.  I am using a Mac laptop. The computers that were previously linked to the Homesharing are no longer available, they have been wiped and are not in the house anymore.   Does anyone know how to do this?

    The apps aren't stored in your personal iCloud account and don't use any of your storage.  They are only stored in the App store.  The iCloud symbols are only links to your previous purchases in the App store so you can download them again.  If you don't want to see certain apps, you can hide them in iTunes on your computer as explained here: iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases.  Once hidden in iTunes, you should no longer see them on your phone.

  • My iPhone has two identical options under "iTunes wi-fi sync" that are the same computer. I only have one user on my  computer, and I tried moving my iTunes file in Finder to organize it and now my library's not synced with my phone. Help?

    My iPhone has two identical options under "iTunes wi-fi sync" that are the same computer. I only have one user on my computer, and I tried moving my iTunes file in Finder to organize it and now my library's not synced with my phone. Help?

    I have the same problem. Right now my iPhone 5S shows 3 instances of the computer to which it is connected under Settings » General » iTunes WiFi Sync. I'm having problems connecting and syncing, and this is probably the cause: the phone chooses one of these connections, and it isn't the one that's actually in use. What's probably happening is that the phone and computer establish a connection using a dynamic IP address, the address becomes "disassociated" due to error, another address is associated, the phone retains each address/link, and each link is displayed as if it represents a separate computer (the fact that the name of the computer is identical is ignored, as the only thing that is considered important is the IP address). But that's all conjecture. More important, I'm not sure how to fix the problem. A network reset doesn't do it.

    If you are seeing a cloud icon, they are not actually on your device, just available to download. If you wish to turn this off: Settings app >  Videos > Show All Videos [turn OFF]. This is also available in for the Music and iBooks apps.

  • How do you delete songs on iTune that are NOT on the library?

    I got a new computer few days ago, and I downloaded iTune on my new computer today.
    I want to delete all my songs that are in my iPod Touch now, and want to buy other songs.
    I don't have any songs in my library at the moment, since there's no song in my new computer now.
    So I want to delete songs, but since I don't have any of those songs in the library, I can't delete them. (I can't delete them since they are not on the library.)
    Are there any ways I can delete songs that are NOT on the library?

    You don't want to keep the songs that are on your iPod touch, in your library?
    You can keep them in your library and not put them on the touch.
    Then you can purchase other songs and put those on the touch.
