Itunes to iphone synce problem

just purchased an audiobook from my laptop itunes software, now the dang thing wont let me move it over to my iphone.
please tell me they don't expect me to make all of my purchases directly from my iphone.
any ideas on how to get my book to my iphone?
thanks in advance,
ish

yes, gives me the message
"bookname was not copied to the iphone phone name because you are not authorized to play it on this computer"
going to look around on my phone and see if there are any settings as well.
but one would ASSUME you just purchase something and move it to your phone just like your ipod.
ish

  • ITunes to iPhone syncing problem

    On my iTunes, I have 2 albums and 23 songs but on my phone it says 1 album and 10 songs. They are both from the same artist but I guess it isnt syncing correctly. I still have the music from the rest of the 13 songs on my phone but it isn't under the same artist in the artist category, it is just in the music category. Please help.

    That's not working - I'm having the same problem with recent versions of iTunes. Previously if I deleted a podcast I'd listened to from my computer's iTunes library, when I synced with my phone, the podcast was removed from the phone library. Now, when I sync my phone automatically transfers the podcasts I'd deleted from the library back to the computer. Maddening.
    Anyone?

  • TS3418 SyncServer crashes on Windows XP, when iTunes starts iPhone sync

    SyncServer crashes on Windows XP, when iTunes starts iPhone sync...Help!

    Many thanks, Paul.
    Modname is corefoundation.dll and Modver is 1.630.16.0 offset 0004183c
    Taken at face value, you're having trouble with an Apple Application Support program file there. (Apple Application Support is where single copies of program files used by multiple different Apple programs are kept.)
    Let's try something relatively simple first. Restart the PC. Now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "Apple Application Support" and then click "Repair".
    Does iTunes launch properly now?
    If no joy after that, try the more rigorous uninstall/reinstall procedure from the following post:

  • IPhone Sync Problems with VISTA After iTunes Upgrade to 7.4

    Upon upgrading to iTunes 7.4 I was unable to sync my Outlook calendar or contacts to the iPhone. Called Apple Support that they seemed to know nothing about this problem general problem despite all of the discussions on this and many other tech. boards.
    After being told remove and reinstall iTunes and Outlook, set-up a new user account, etc... (none of which worked) I finally concluded that perhaps the .pst file being used by outlook was simply incompatible with iTunes for some reason (e.g. unsupported recurring calendar items).
    SOLUTION: Create a new outlook .pst data file. Once created, open up that new file along with the defective .pst file. Then, simply change the view of calendars and contacts in your old calendar such that you can see all of the items in a list. Highlight the items you want to keep and simply click-and-drag them to the nes .pst file. This solves all of the sync. problems I had post-7.4 upgrade. It takes less than 3 minutes to complete this painless fix.
    This was so annoying for me that I'd be happy to help someone complete this simple task if they need help. < Edited by Host, for your protection, no personal information please. >

    Then it would appear to be an issue with your router. What router? Model? Is the firmware up to date?

  • "Not Listend To Recently" iTunes to iPhone Sync Question/Problem

    iPhone 3G w/3.0, iTunes 8.2, Windows Vista
    I searched the FAQ and the posts, I see others ask similar question, but not a clear answer yet.
    I have a number of Podcasts that I listen to daily, on my iPhone, NEVER on my computer. I regularly get the little ! saying this podcast will not update because you have not listend to it recently. HOW do I get my computer to recognize/sync the fact that I HAVE listened to the podcast recently?
    According to the docs, the computer and phone will keep track of where you are in the podcast. The blue dots are always on my iTunes Podcasts.
    Thanks in Advance.

    There is an increasingly common problem where listens on the iPod (and it may well apply to the iPhone as well) are not being updated back to iTunes upon syncing.
    Is that the problem you are experiencing? If so, FYI there has been no solution yet. The only remedy, which I found by accident, is to reboot the iTunes machine before syncing the iPod. A pain I know, but give it a try.

  • ITunes-iPhone Sync Problems Information

    When iTunes can not sync a number of items with your iPhone, the alert suggests seeing iTunes for more information about that but not exactly where to look.
    I would have thought it would place a topic prominently in Help when this was the case or have a menu item along the lines of Sync Feedback or Sync Report.
    Can someone suggest where to find the alluded to information in the iTunes Interface?

  • ITunes 11 wifi sync problem

    Hi all,
    I just update to iTunes 11, but since than I'm only able to sync my iPad and iPhone with a cable, the wifi sync option is not working. Both of my iDevices won't find my MacBook
    Info:
    iPad Wifi 3rd Gen
    iPhone 5
    MacBook Pro 15" (mid 2011)
    Hope that anyone has a solution or Apple comes up with a solution

    My itunes wasnt recognizing either my or my husbands phones via wifi either, I took the suggestion of others and reconnected to wifi, didnt work. What ended up working for me was going into network preferences on the mac, and than advanced and deleting my network from the list of preferred networks, turning on wifi on my mac, quitting itunes, turning wifi on my mac back on, reconnecting to my network and opening up itunes. Just synced a song to my iphone via wifi no problem. Odd workaround but hopefully that helps you. I am running osx 10.8.2 and my phones are on ios 6.0.1

  • ITunes-to-iPhone sync broken

    Both my iPhone and my iMac are top-of-the-line, less than three months old, and are running the latest, most updated system software. However, since upgrading to these glistening, state-of-the-art devices, I have been unable to consistently produce acceptable results when attempting to sync music and podcasts from the computer to the phone.
    New songs that I have purchased and downloaded through the iTunes Store appear on my computer in the iTunes library and on the iPhone. However, on the iPhone, the new songs show only as available downloads, with the little cloud/arrow icon next to them. When I tap this, the red square-in-a-circle icon appears, meaning the song is going to download all over again, so if I’m not in WiFi range, I’m outta luck. In iTunes > iPhone > On This Phone, the songs appear, but are greyed out.
    Furthermore, most of the podcasts that I have downloaded to my computer and synced with the phone are unplayable on the phone, eliciting a “this episode is temporarily unavailable” message.
    So far, 3 things “fix” the first problem.
    1. Remove all the music, (by unchecking “Sync Music” in iTunes > iPhone > Music and clicking “Apply”), then resync it by re-checking the box and re-applying. The whole library. Every time I want to add even 1 new song. This takes an hour.
    2. A full restore — as suggested by Apple — also fixes it, but alas, this “fix,” aside from being extremely time-consuming and labor-intensive, is only temporary. Within a few hours or days the issue recurs.
    3. Tick the box labeled “Manually manage music and videos” in iTunes > iPhone> Summary. With this method, I connect the phone and drag my newly downloaded song from the iTunes music library list over to the right-hand side of the window. An “Add To” device list pops up, and I release the song into my phone. The song now appears in iTunes > iPhone > On This Phone, so I click “sync”. Sometimes this works, but at least half the time, the same exact steps produce the message “The iTunes Library file cannot be saved. An unknown error occurred (-54).” Sometimes this error dialog box persists through multiple attempts to dismiss it.
    The podcast issue cannot, as far as I can tell, be resolved even by a clunky workaround. If I want to listen to a podcast on my iPhone, I must manually download it directly to the device via WiFi. This isn’t a fix for me, since my daily routine takes place in rural areas where WiFi is not available. Even a manually downloaded podcast reverts, inexplicably, to the “unavailable” state every time I sync the phone again.
    It would be much simpler if the podcast app merely worked the way it used to prior to Mavericks and iOS7 and iTunes 11, by which I mean: podcasts that have already been downloaded to iTunes on the computer should simply sync with the selected device when “sync” is clicked. Alas.
    Over the past weeks I have read at least fifteen threads on these issues, none of which offer anything like a workable, permanent solution, and all of which contain innumerable instances of plaintive wailing by frustrated customers who merely want what they paid for. It is a pity that these pretty, expensive gadgets cannot perform even a simple sync without eliciting anger and despair.

    I would recommend taking a look at the troubleshooting steps found in the article below.

  • New MAC OSX Address Book Groups Do Not Appear in iTunes for iPhone Sync?

    New Groups (and their associated new contacts) created in the MAC OSX Address Book since the initial installation of my iPhone do not appear in iTunes, and hence do not sync with iPhone. I have tried the Advanced - Replace information on this iPhone - Contacts to no avail.

    I had this problem for several weeks now!
    I followed your procedure and - addresses there, calender gone! Even worse!
    So I copied the old SyncServices Folder back into /Library/Application Support/
    result as expected, calender there, addresses gone.
    My lady called, I was on the phone for 10 minutes or so. Coming back to my iMac I see a Sync-Problem-Icon jumping in the dock. I've been told that one of my addresses has a conflict between adressbook and iPhone. OK. Solve it with adressbook, please.
    I open iTunes and everything is there, calender data and adresses!
    Finally!
    Thank you, Maurizio!

  • Latest iTunes update; iPhone sync takes a long, long time

    I have a 64GB iPhone 4S, up to date with latest software.  I have iTunes running on a Toshiba Satellite laptop running Windows Vista 64-bit SP2; running latest update of iTunes.
    I am currently doing my second iPhone sync to change out a bunch of music since the latest iTunes update.  I have tons of records, and I like to switch up the tunes quite a bit.  I love the 64GB iPhone; holds over 500 albums.
    Both, the first time and now this time, the sync is taking forever.  Seriously, as I type this the sync is now past two hours and looks to be about 60% done.
    Prior to this update (both iTunes and phone), the sync took maybe 20 minutes,  Nothing else has changed; same computer/operating system, no bugs or viruses.  The only thing I think it can be is this latest update to iTunes; which, by the way, dumped all my albums when the update was done.  I had to add all the folders again; that took a while and a lot of album covers were lost.  Big pain in the butt, basically.
    I don't know if you Apple people are listening, but this is eroding my confidence in your brand.  Will I spring for a MacBook like I was planning?  Hmmm...

    No solution - just the same problem.
    My wife's 4s (iOS 7.0.2) has been hanging at syncing Contacts on iTunes 11.1 (iMac; Mountain Lion) the past several days. It never gets past "Syncing Contacts".
    Doesn't anyone have any advice. I've hard re-booted her iPhone; re-booted the iMac.
    We don't have this problem with either my iPhone 5 (7.0.2), her 2nd-gen iPad or her old iPot Touch.
    We share the same contacts and calendars across all of these devices and the iMac.

  • Changing which iTunes library iPhone sync's to

    Here's my set up:
    I have a bunch of music set up in an itunes library that lives on an external drive at home. I don't really use this to listen to music, it's just my database and what I sync my 60gb ipod to.
    I have a second itunes library that lives on my macbook, with significantly less music on it, to save hard drive space.
    My girlfriend shares the computer, but is currently working out of town. The problem is that her iphone is synced to the external hard drive library (which is an old beast of an external drive).
    I want her iphone to sync to the macbook's library so that she can change up music whenever, as I always have the macbook with me. So how does one change which library an iphone sync's to, and how do you it without losing apps, phone numbers, etc.

    I'm just guessing here, but if you log out of itunes and create a new user ID, would that work??
    Or just create different playlists and when you sync your device you can check and uncheck which playlists to sync.

  • IPhone sync problem with iCal and Address Book

    I have a new iPhone 4 that is not syncing contacts or events. It doesn't seem to matter whether the event or contact is created in my iMac or on the iPhone. Either way, the data doesn't move. During the iPhone synch process, where iTunes tells you what is going on, syncing calendars and contacts doesn't even appear. When I had my iPod Touch, all worked well. I saw a post about resetting in iSync, etc., but when I look there, I don't even see my iPhone, and so far I can't add it. My only option there is to add a bluetooth device. So I need some help. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
    Chuck

    You're welcome.
    You can't hurt anything by resetting the sync history on your Mac, and doing so may resolve the problem.
    Syncing contacts direct with a supported Address Book application and syncing calendar events direct with a supported Calendar app on your computer via the iTunes sync process has nothing to do with a MobileMe account - a trial account or otherwise. Completely separate and not related even if you are syncing contacts and calendar events over the air with your MobileMe account on your iPhone. If you are doing so with your iPhone, syncing direct with the Address Book and iCal via the iTunes sync process is not required.

  • ITunes/ipad/iPhone synching problems

    I have an ipad and iPhone synched to iTunes via the same apple ID. Ive recently deleted a number of tracks in itunes, the ipad syncs correctly and updates the deleted items but the deleted tracks are not being removed from the iPhone? The ipad matches iTunes but the iPhone now does not. How can I get the iPhone to sync correctly and update the deleted tracks?

    Wanted to follow up on this as the problem has now been solved (thanks to Apple's excellent support). I had purchased the extended care package when I upgraded my Mac (based on prior experience I knew it would be money well spent). That allowed me to call Apple support and ask them for their help. After removing a set of cache files located in my iPhoto application I'm not able to sync both my iPad and my iPhone. Issue resolved.

  • ITunes cancels iPhone sync

    When I try to sync my iPhone through iTunes (cable or wifi) iTunes cancels the sync after copying ~100 songs.
    I recently bought a new macbook pro and am trying to sync my iphone to the new computer (it used to sync to my PC).
    I've set everything up (I'm syncing several playlists) and pressed sync but after copying several songs itunes cancels the sync with no error message.
    I've read several posts here on the subject and have already tried:
    Unticking "Sync Music", syncing and then ticking it back on
    Restoring my iphone from backup and then trying to sync
    Syncing different combinations of playlists
    Unfortunately the issue persists.
    Since the processes above deleted my iphone's music help would be appreciated.
    I'm using:
         iOS 7.0.4 on iPhone 4S
         iTunes 11.1.4
         OS X Mavericks 10.9.1 on Macbook Pro 15' Retina
    No Updates are available in the appstore.

    this might not be your issues, but i had the same problem and it was resolved simply by setting the computer time clock to the correct local time.
