Purchased book not showing up for syncing

I purchased a book ages ago (before iBooks was on the iPhone) and I can't get it to sync with my iPhone now that iBooks is on my phone.
It doesn't show up on the sync options in iTunes but it does show up in the Books library on iTunes.
Sync Bookmarks and Notes and Sync Collections are switched on, on my iPhone.
I've tried Syncios but it only wants to sync non iTunes purchased books, not the iBooks format.
Any ideas?
Versions
iTunes 11.2.0.115
iOS 8.1.2
iBooks 4.1.1

Not all ibooks are compatible with iPhones, some can only be read on iPads and Mac computers - if you got to the book's description page in the store does it say that you should be able to read it on an iPhone ? If it is compatible (and it's still in the store) then it should show in the Purchased tab in the iBooks app on your phone for redownloading.
The 'sync collections' setting does not copy books and/or PDFs between devices/computers, all it does is if you have a book or PDF on a device or computer and you move it into a collection on it, then on the other devices/computers that you have that book/PDF on(and the 'sync collections' setting is 'on') it will be moved into the same collection - but it won't copy it onto a device or computer, you need to sync/copy/download it onto each device/computer that you want it.

  • Previously purchased books not showing in 'Purchased' collection?

    For some reason my purchased books (with the exception of those not yet downloaded to this machine), are no longer showing up in the 'Purchased' collection. Normally this wouldn't be an issue, but I have begun to rely on the collection to seperate the Books bought from the iBooks store from those obtained from other sources such as Project Gutenberg.
    Though I can still see the purchased books listed in iTunes when viewing my purchases through the iTunes store, I'd like to see them in the iBooks 'Purchased' collection.
    The only thing I can think of that might have caused this, though it seems unlikely, is I deleted the cache recently.

    It looks like at some point in history, iTunes created a new 'Purchased' playlist.
    This playlist is a special one, but behaves like a normal playlist.
    You can add your previous purchases to it.
    Another way is to create a new Smart Playlist and set as rule:
    Kind - contains - protected
    That playlist will always be up-to-date and contains all your purchases.
    Hope this helps.

  • Purchased songs not showing up for download

    Not sure why but some songs I purchased recently on my laptop (Macbook Pro OS X 10.7, iTunes 11) are not available for download on my desktop (Win XP, iTunes 11). Previously, I'd been able to download stuff on both machines, but now when I go to Store->Check for Available Downloads, I get nothing, and under my Purchased Songs, I don't see the little cloud button to download it. Am I missing something?

    Nevermind. I was looking in the wrong place. Found it in the store under purchases.

    Hello ThisIssue
    Check out the troubleshooting assistant in the first article below. It will walk you through a few simple steps like restarting your iPod nano and changing ports on your Mac. Another troubleshooting option is to put your iPod nano into disk mode and then plug it in and see if iTunes recognizes it to be restored.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Audiobooks are not currently part of the content that can be re-downloaded. You should sync your audiobooks to other devices via iTunes on your computer. If your audiobook didn't download correctly or has other problems, select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History using your computer.
    To copy the audiobooks from one computer to another, use homesharing, put them on a memory stick or use your Dropbox if your computers are networked.

  • A recent Kobo book purchase does not show in the Adobe Digital Editions. What can I do pls?

    There are lots of bugs in ADE2.0 (and 2.0.1).  Try replacing ADE2.0 with the older but more reliable v1.7.2.
    (You can have them both installed at once if you like.)
    Version 1.7.2, it is a little difficult to find, available on Adobe site for Windows and for Mac.
    http://helpx.adobe.com/digital-editions/kb/cant-install-digital-editions.html
    The forum software is sometimes corrupting the link above.  There shouldn't be a blank in 'editio ns.html'.  The following redirects to the same page: http://tinyurl.com/diged172
    Some people have found ADE trying to upgrade automatically. 
    It appears (not 100% sure) that if you install ADE2.0 as a new install (not as an upgrade) that your 1.7.2 will continue to run.
    Probably best to say no if 2.0.x installation asks if you want to migrate your library.

  • Why are TV show episides for last three days not showing up for purchase on iTunes?

    TV episodes for 10/25 and 10/26 are still not showing up for purchase in iTunes. Am I the only one? The latest episodes that show up are from last Thursday. What gives?

    I am also having the same exact problem.  Put in a ticket with Apple 2 days ago when I first noticed the problem.  No one has contacted me reagarding this, and you can't get anyone on the phone!!! So frustrating!!! I went back and put in a dispute for all episodes that charged me and I was never allowed to watch, some season passes others were single episodes.  All in all Apple owes me about $150 as of now.  We are an Apple family, love their products, but this is ridiculous!!! Glad I'm not the only frstrated party, hoping there is some resolve. Really would like to get what I paid for!!!!!

  • My itunes tv and movie purchases are not showing in my video app

    my itunes tv and movie purchases are not showing in my video app, iphone 5s, and this has happened since ios 8 was installed

    Were they previously downloaded/synced to your iPhone, and if they were have you got them in the TV Shows and Movies parts of your computer's iTunes library. When you update via a computer the device is backed up, the iOS version is updated, and your content is then restored to the device - but none of your iTunes downloads are included in the actual backup (just your documents, notes, calendars, app settings etc), instead it looks to get the apps, music, films, TV shows from your iTunes library.
    If the 'show all' setting isn't showing them then what country are you are in, you are logged in with the same account that you bought them with, you haven't changed countries since buying them and they aren't hidden : iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases ?

  • Books not showing up in iTunes HomeSharing.

    I have an odd problem. I am sharing my iTunes library from my iMac on the local network (ran through an Airport Extreme). On my girlfriend's MacBook Pro, the iTunes library shows up nicely, and shows/plays Music, Films, Podcasts etc... EXCEPT... Books.
    That is to say, the Books category is showing up in the list of the Shared Library on the MacBook Pro, but it is empty, while I have a dozens of books and PDF's in that library. As mentioned, Musics, Films and everything else that is supposed to be shared shows up as it should, and plays.
    Both Macs are running OS X 10.6.8 and the latest version of iTunes, 10.4.
    Naturally, Books are ticked in the Sharing tab of the Preference tab of the iMac iTunes library.
    I can't for the life of me figure this one out. Any thoughts anyone?

    I am having the exact same issue, but running my shared media folder on a Mac Pro Lion Server.  On that computer everything works fine.  Neither our Lion iMac nor brand new MacBook Air see any books in the shared iTunes Media folder.  They see and can access everything else.  Books are a mix of epubs and pdfs. Prior to tonight's 10.4.1 update, the books list was at least visible on my older MacBook Pro running 10.6.8.  Now that has stopped working.  Installing 104.1 did nothing to fix books not showing up in the shared library on the Lion Macs.

    If you have iTunes 11 on your computer then you can enable the left-hand sidebar on it via option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC - when connected (and if your computer's iTunes is up-to-date) your iPad should then appear on that sidebar under a 'Devices' heading :
    If you select the iPad on that sidebar you can then use the Movies tab on the right-hand side of the iTunes screen to select and sync that film to your iPad's Videos app.
    Has your iPad been synced to the computer before ? If not then you might find this page for syncing to a new computer useful : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141

    Garmin is sending you to Apple because it is Apple that would have to give you a refund as the actual point of sale.  However, Apple states all sales are final.
    Apple is sending you to Garmin because it is Garmin's fault their maps are out of date and Apple doesn't write the software.  They may not even be looking that deeply and simply perceiving it as a programming "bug" it is up to Garmin to solve.
    Who know whose fault it is that Garmin isn't getting up to date data to put in their maps.
    Ultimately I think you stand the best chance in getting a refund from Apple though it isn't guaranteed.  Apple is the cashier.  You just have to convince them this isn't just a line of code omitted from an application and isn't something that will be soon corrected by Garmin.  Make it clear it isn't a problem with the application running on your device, it is a problem with the data it contains.  Either that or you have to hope Garmin will feel so bad about it they will delve down into their slush fund and send you a refund.
