M4b files will not sync after recent update

I recently updated the software on my ipod touch 4th gen. After updating, I tried to sync my playlists, but not all of the files would sync. After some investigation, I figured out that the files that wouldn't sync were audio books in m4b format. They synced just fine before the update. What is the problem here?

Thank you for the response, I have not tried a restore, won't that wipe out everything on the phone? Leaving on vacation and don't have time to start over, I'll have to try this after I get back if the next response does not solve the problem.

  • Possible fix for Gmail not syncing after recent update

    Hey all,
    I've seen at least one person on the forums who's had issues with their Gmail not syncing after the latest update. I thought I would pass along my solution to the problem in case it worked for others. After I updated to the latest version of the iPhone software a couple of days ago, my mail accounts from Gmail were behaving strangely. For one thing, all of my saved e-mails on the iPhone were deleted. For another, it no longer received any e-mail from those accounts. Finally, I decided to test it out by creating a new e-mail account on my iPhone to sync with a disused Gmail address that I had not yet set up for IMAP on my phone. To my surprise, it worked perfectly! Then, after I checked the details of the new e-mail account with those of my existing accounts, I discovered that the incoming server port number was incorrect on the other accounts. It was 995 when it ought to have been 993. When I corrected the port numbers, all of the accounts synced perfectly. I hope that might work for someone else. It was at least worth a post on the forums, I figured. Have a wonderful St. Patrick's day, everyone!

    Fantastic! Worked a treat - thanks!

  • My iPad will not sync after system update and returns message that my computer is no longer authorised.

    Please help me sync my iPad as it is not able to sync after a system update.  Several messages 1. Computer no longer authorised and when I reauthorise it it prepares to sync and then it tells me my iPad cannot be written to,

    Hi leefromwoodford,
    The following article will tell you how to transfer purchased music from your iPhone to the your Mac -
    iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
    Specifically -
    Transferring purchases
    If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod has your purchased content from the iTunes Store, you can transfer the content to a computer that is authorized for your Apple ID.
    Note: This option only works for content you purchased from the iTunes Store (as opposed to content from other sources, such as CDs you may have imported). For content you did not purchase from the iTunes Store, synchronization occurs in one direction only. This means your content can be copied from a computer to your iOS device, but cannot be copied from your device to a computer.
    Open iTunes.
    From the Store menu, choose Authorize This Computer.
    Enter your Apple ID and password. Then, click the Authorize button.
    Connect your device your computer. If it is synced with another iTunes library, you may be asked if you want to "Erase and Sync" or "Transfer Purchases."
    If that alert appears, click Transfer Purchases.
    Important: Clicking Erase and Sync will delete any existing content currently on your device. The content would then be replaced with the content that is on the computer.
    If you were not offered the option to transfer purchases:
    After connecting your device to the computer, its icon appears in iTunes. Click the icon.
    From the File > Devices menu, choose "Transfer Purchases from 'Your device name.'"
    Note that the computer must be authorized for the Apple ID under which the purchases were made.
    You may also want to download the music directly from the iTunes store, rather than using the iPhone. See this article -
    Download past purchases

    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

  • My 5th Gen iPod Touch will not sync after I updated my iTunes

    Right after I updated my iTunes on my PC, it will no longer sync anything. My apps, my music, everything won't sync.
    It just says that I can't sync because I need more space (8.30GB to be exact). But before I updated my iTunes, everything was fine. The thing is I want my iTunes and iPod to synchronize with each other without losing anything.
    Can someone help me?
    Also, my OS is already iOs 7.1

    Do you have the right boxes checked to sync? It appears not.

  • Firefox will not open after recent update of all computer lab servers, Windows server 2008 R2, Multipoint 2011

    All 3 computer lab servers were recently updated and rebooted. Java was updated as well to 7u21. Now all 3 do not respond when Firefox icon is clicked, from any thin-client or remote desktop session/user. There is no popup error, just an hour-glass for about 5 seconds and then nada. IE is fine. I can't tell if it was the java update or a windows security update, and I'm not seeing anything in the error logs

    It is possible that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

  • Mac Mini will not load after recent update.

    My late 2012 model Mac Mini just had a software update and upon rebooting, my login name did not populate.  I rebooted again and now I get the gray screen with spinner and progress bar.  Once the progress bar loads I have just the spinner for a minute or so before it cuts off completely.  I use a wireless MAC keyboard and it will not load into safe mode when I try holding down SHIFT upon reboot.  Any suggestions?

  • Photos will not sync after I updated software. More info inside.

    I just updated my iTouch 4th generation to the newest software (4.2.2 or something, I didn't pay much attention) and now when I try to sync it, it says a file is missing. I tried deleting the iPod photo cache folders (there were two) like someone said on here and it didn't work so now I only have acess to photos saved from Safari. When I try to acess the ones I synced before it just shows big black boxes. Help!

    Was this the error message:
    "The iPhone/iPod touch "device name" cannot be synced. The required file cannot be found."
    If it really said a file is missing I would try reinstalling iTunes.

  • Ipod touch will not sync after new itunes update

    Ipod touch 4th generation will not sync after I updated the new itunes. Actually after I updated to the new itunes it deleted all my music from my ipod and refuses to reload. If someone could please help me that would be completely appreciated. I tried trying to sync each song individually but it didn't help (before it stopped syncing), then it stopped syncing, even though I have it hooked up it brings everything that I have on my ipod up but it won't do anything.

    When I tried the first time it asked me if i wanted it to stop syncing and to restore. It gave the choices of yes and cancel, i didn't click either because the option box went away and it just stopped restoring on its own. I did the store again and now it is asking if i want to set up as a new ipod or to restore to Andrea's ipod. Should I set up as new?

  • Iphone 4 not recognized and will not sync after latest itunes update.  I have done all trouble shooting and uninstalled and reinstalled itunes to no avail.

    iphone 4 not recognized and will not sync after latest itunes update.  I have done recommendedl trouble shooting and uninstalled and reinstalled itunes to no avail. Can I go back to earlier version of itunes or restore computer to fix?

    'The installer has insufficient privileges to modify this file C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support\Web kit.resources\inspector\Images\Spinner Inactive Selected.gif.'
    That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
    XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
    Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
    Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
    Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
    Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

  • HT2693 My UPAD lite does not start after recent update. I have lots of info in it. Can anybody help me to get it back. Can I get the update out somehow? Thanks

    My UPAD lite does not start after recent update. I have lots of info in it. Can anybody help me to get it back? Can I somehow undo the update? Thanks

    "UPAD lite?"
    I expect that you mean some version of iPad.
    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

  • My iPhone will not sync with iTunes update

    With the last update my iPhone will not sync.

    I, too, updated to ios 7.0.6 and immediately couldn't synch music to my iPhone. I erased the phone twice and ended up in a loop and couldn't even boot, just the Apple logo over and over. This worked for me:
    Hold down the home button (on the front) simultaneously with the button on the top. After 10-15 seconds the Apple log appears again and loads IOS slowly. Once was loaded, my music was back. Annoyingly, it only seems to update from the cloud.
    At least my iPhone works now.
    I can't believe Apple didn't catch this before they screwed up their customers.
