ITunes trying to sync deleted iBooks?

Forgive me if this post seems in the wrong place because I can't find the right place to ask about syncing iBooks from Mavericks to IOS.
This is hard to explain, ... I had some PDF's and one iBook I deleted from my iPhone and iPad and on my Mac most deleted, but some deleted ones still show up in the Books section of iTunes as books including a purchased book as supposedly available books that can still be sync despite that they shouldn't be there. All the other books and PDF's deleted perfectly fine except the few in the picture.
I've gone over this several times qirh myself making I didn't miss a step. ... I totally emptied the iBooks folder~/Library/Containers/com.apple.BKAgentService/Data/Documents/iBooks/Books. and I've totally deleted all iBooks and PDF's in iBooks on my Mac, iPad and iPhone. I had no bookshelves to deal with using "Edit" and "Delete" per each device I have.
I even TOTALLY wiped out and reinstalled iTunes using CleanApp and selected nearly as many files and folders in the process including those not advised to.
Again, I've enclosed a picture of what's showing as still there, but if anyone is interested, should I try to resync any of those books seen in this picture back into my iPhone or iPad I do get an error they can't be found as expected because they SHOULD be deleted - they just remain showing as available to sync regardless. I've tried all sorts of ways of unchecking and rechecking, booting rebooting all devices, etc. I just want them totally deleted so this page can look totally clean.
Thanks!

WITH PERSISTANCE I GOT IT!!!
From my experiment above being partially successful, I learned that somehow the book "information" is somehow stored in Library.itl What I DIDN'T do before I returned to the latest and greatest iTunes Library.itl file from the old was to SAVE my deletions and totally closeout the old one before going forward in time to today and that did it!
No lost music, ringtones, etc. Just the deleted books got deleted!
In summary for those who run into the same problem I have ...
1) Let Time Machine make a new backup to insure you have the latest files in place to date.
2) Using Time Machine, go back in time to sometime before Mavericks first came out and restore iTunes to the Desktop. (It won't overwrite the current version because you're not allowed.)
3) Using Time Machine, go back in time to the same date you pulled your old iTunes from and restore the Library.itl file into it's current location. It will overwrite the newest one, but don't worry.
4) Open up iTunes and you'll see the books folder is back in the sidebar. Delete the errant books and PDF's close out iTunes completely to keep the changes.
5) Delete the old iTunes you used and open the current iTunes for Mavericks. It will notice the Library.itl file needs updating and the books folder will still be visible in the sidebar. Click on the books folder for the message saying the books have moved and then click the "OK" button.
6) Close iTunes.
7) Using Time Machine, go back to the LATEST and NEWEST Library.itl file you made with your backup I suggested to be made in step one and restore it.
8) Open up iTunes and all your current music, etc. is back. Verify with iPhone or iPad that there are no books "deleted books" to sync.
9) DONE!!!
Whew! Tolerating it since January. Been working on this all night.

Why is iTunes trying to sync deleted items to iPhone?

Hi,
I own a MacBook Pro and an iPhone 4.
When attempting to sync my music, iTunes tries to sync particular items twice. The result is that the second time it tries to sync it fails, and it results in a message "x items could not be synced see itunes for more information".
Attempted Solutions:
I erased all the music off my iPhone (having previously had it on synchronising particular playlists). However this left all the duplicated items that iTunes were trying to sync to the iPhone as showing as audio files on the summary tab and in the music tab. I can manually delete these if I select manually manage music however this comes back again when I press sync. I don't understand why it's trying to sync music (and taking up space on the iPhone summary tab) when I have de-selected synchronising any music at all.
I have deleted the items in questions completely from my iTunes however iTunes still attempts to synchronise then when connected to the iPhone. They do not show in the Music App on the iPhone but they do show as greyed out entries on the music pane in iTunes under my iPhone's device name. Again I can delete these but upon synchronising my playlists by de-selecting manually manage music these items re-appear!
Someone please help me!
Thanks,

Yea mine tends to do that too sometimes but most of the time I just eject my phone from iTunes if its not connected or I let it try to sync because I know it won't sync since my phone is not connected to any sort of power source.
You could always try uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes if all else fails.

I have an iPod Touch version 4.2.1, and whenever iTunes tries to sync my iPod, I get an error message saying "Mobile Backup has encountered a problem and needs to close", and the sync fails. What can I do to fix this problem?

Try to connect in recovery mode, explained in this article:

Itunes not in sync with Ibooks

Hi All,
Since Mavericks, the books synchronization system has changed.
As far as I understood, Ibooks is supposed to take care of all the collection and synchronize purchased books to all devices (iPad, iPhone, etc.).
Note that iBooks does not contain only Apple-purchased books, but imported items (free, purchased from a 3rd party, private PDF, etc.).
Concerning these other books , iTunes is supposed to take care of the synchronisation through the same old iTunes tab.
Here is my issue: I would expect that iTunes lists all my books, iBooks-purchased AS WELL AS imported items, allowing to sync them all or only selected ones.
But it seems that iTunes totally lost synchronization with my library. It does not show newly imported files. It still show old deleted imported files, but without cover.
Is it only me or is it a total mess ?
Maybe my iTunes library or cache is totally broken. Any suggestion on how I could restore it ?
Thank you for your help.
Best regards.

ITunes trying to sync missing music

iTunes keeps trying to sync music that isn't there, and I was wondering how to let it know that the music is no longer there?

Clean up your library with iTunes Folder Watch and its option to "Check for dead tracks on startup".

After rebooting, iTunes tries to sync all apps onto iphone

After rebooting my MBA (late 2010), the first sync of my iphone 4 shows ALL of my apps placed on my iphone up to its capacity.
This has happened twice in the past week. The first time, I had to keep syncing the iphone and deleting the unwanted apps, working my way through whatever iTunes automatically loaded without my intervention. After I deleted all of the unwanted apps in my iphone, subsequent syncs were fine. Then, this morning, after a reboot, they all showed up again in the apps list ready to be synced to my iphone. I'd rather not have to go through the very time consuming effort of having to sync-delete-sync-delete... again.
PLEASE HELP!

Bump. Nobody knows?

ITunes trying to sync old podcasts (and failing!)

I have a 30GB video iPod. Trying and it failing to sync with iTunes on MacBook Pro. Same problems happen with new shuffle so would seem to be an iTunes problem.
First of all it says some items in the iTunes library including xxxx were not copied because they could not be found. It then gives a list of OLD podcasts that I can't find in iTunes or in finder.
Is there a corrupt file that tells iTunes to look for old podcasts to sync with?
It gets so far and then says "attempting to copy to the disk yyyyyy failed. The disc could not be read from or written to.
However it is NOT an iPod problem. The same iPod will sync fine with iTunes on a windows PC and a Shuffle suffers the same problem with this MacBook Pro.
TIA

Welcome to the Palm Support Community Emily, but I'm at a loss as to what you are asking...
What exactly is "the new operating system"? Windows 7? If so, what bit depth is it? 32bit or 64bit?
What is "that file" you're referring to that you think is a .dll? Your Contacts and Calendar data?
What is "Outlook 7"? Microsoft Outlook 2007?
If indeed you've just obtained Windows 7, and it's the 64bit version, there is a way to sync the TX via a wireless method - either BlueTooth or Wifi.
Please read the thread I wrote on "How to sync the TX and Vista64" at the top of this section. It's very similar to Windows 7.

How do I stop iTunes from re-syncing deleted songs to my iPhone?

I manually manage my songs on my iPhone. I have checked albums to import, along with artists, and manually added songs. My question is, there are certain songs from the checked albums that I don't want on my phone. I delete them to save space, but then whenever I add more songs to my phone, either by syncing or dragging and dropping songs, the ones I deleted re-sync. Is there anyway around this?

Yes, others are seeing this. Something in purchased media (I am pretty sure this has only happened with purchased media) is periodically checking back with the iTunes Store and resetting the tags in the iTunes library file but not in the actual media files (metadata are stored in both). I haven't seen a truly systematic diagnosis of the issue (I use an old iTunes and have no iTunes account so I can't test anything myself). There are temporary workarounds but tags will still revert after a time.
2014 discussion about edited tags for Store purchases reverting to originals - https://discussions.apple.com/message/26077896#26077896 - edited tags are still present in the media file but revert to the originals in the iTunes library file. Workaround is to refresh tags so media file tags are re-read and used in library file.

https://discussions.apple.com/message/26335620#26335620 - user ended up rebuilding iTunes library from scratch
Send feedback to Apple about this so they know it is an issue they need to investigate:

Don't expect an immediate solution but maybe the next time they update the software it may be resolved.

My itunes stops working everytime i plug up my phone and it tries to sync and then closes. Help!!

Everytime I plug in my iphone 3gs and my itunes tries to sync itunes stops working and shuts down. I tried to uninstall and reinstall but it didnt work. Can anyone help?

Are you seeing any error messages?
Check this thread out -> itunes has stopped working...here are the problem reports:
Try unchecking the Include videos option in iTunes, under Photos. You'll click the iPhone on the left side of iTunes, then click Photos across the top of iTunes to see the option.
If you still want to sync the videos, you can add them to iTunes as movies and then sync them. You may have to right click and convert the videos in iTunes before syncing to the iPad (depending on how the videos were created).

I lost my hardrive, got new computer, tried to sync with itunes and my personal music (not purchased) does not show up. Do i have to re-download all my personal music once again?

I lost my hardrive, got new computer, reloaded itunes, tried to sync with ipod nano and only my purchased music shows up - how do I get my downloaded music back. message says ipod is sync'd with other library - the one I lost on my old computer! Help!

Sue,
I recommend an external drive to maintain your music. All your purchases are held in iCloud...so redownloading should be easy. Also, Home sharing is a great way to transfer to a new computer, but in the case of hard drive failure your options are limited. Home sharing is specifically for transferring to another pc. Good luck!

ITunes no longer syncs with Outlook

Hi, I'm doing research on behalf of a client....
He's running Win7 Pro x64, Outlook 2010, iTunes 10.7, iOS 6 on both his new iPhone 5 and iPad 2 wifi only model.
He has a strange hybrid exchange going on in his office; his former IT provider never fully set it up, so he's using exchange for calendar & contacts, but email is POP.
For several years, he's happily been using iTunes to sync his calendar & contacts with Outlook.
That recently stopped working, and it seems like it must have been caused by either iTunes 10.7 and/or iOS 6.
What happens now when we plug either device into his desktop is it starts the sync process, says it's syncing calendars or contacts (step 2 of 6) and goes no further; it will sit there for as long as you let it with the little bar spinning, making you think it's working, but nothing ends up happening. iTunes does not freeze and otherwise works normally.
Here are a few of the steps I've tried to make iTunes sync his data with Outlook:
- Repaired .PST file, found & fixed errors.
- Repaired .OST (exchange cache on computer) file, found and fixed errors.
- Repaired Office software itself.
- Completely removed all Apple software and reinstalled iTunes.
- Forced sync
- Tried removing calendars & contacts from iPhone & iPad and forcing a sync.
- Deleted iDevice backup from within iTunes & tried a sync.
When I uncheck the Outlook sync options in iTunes, the sync completes successfully. So clearly there's a big issue with the Outlook sync component here.
Does anyone have any insight at all as to how we can solve this?
At this point I'm working on moving him entirely to Exchange so that everything will sync wirelessly over Activesync, but that's going to be more expensive and involved than getting iTunes to work like it used to .
Thank you

I purchased a book on itunes. It shoes up in itunes but not in ibook on my ipod touch. I tried rebooting, syncing, updating. Nothing works. Can anyone help me?

A book I purchased from itunes store downloaded OK and shows up on my PC but does not show up in ibooks on my ipod touch. I tried manually syncing and rebooting which did not help. From the pc in the itunes store the book shows up in the purchased list. From the ipod, the purchased list from the store is empty. Actually, the book does not exist when trying to search for it at the store from the ipod. I'm confused. Any solution or suggestion?

The book is in ibooks format. The extension is ".ibooks". I did delete it from itunes and download it again from the store a few times. I tried updating my ibooks app. I even sent it to the ipod through dropbox. I looked through all the settings I could find in itunes and ipod. So far no matter what I do, ibooks does not see this book.
