Syncing Books via iTunes

Hey,
Lately (actually since I installed iTunes 11.4) whenever I sync my iPhone the books I have are being synced over and over again - every time without even making any changes to anything.
Even though it's not a huge number of books, it's getting rather annoying. Would resetting the phone and starting from scratch (with iOS8 it's even the best time to do so) fix the problem, or is that something totally unrelated? For example an issue with iTunes?
Using iPhone 5(64gb), iTunes 11.4 64bit for Windows, Windows 8.1. Updated to iOS8, but it was happening with 7.1.2 as well.

I had this problem. The steps I took to fix it were:
1. Enabling the "sync collections" option in the iPad settings (no clue why this was ever switched off)
2. When I next synced, it prompted me to use a different Apple ID (not the one I use for iBooks). So I used the different one, just to see what would happen.  Still no Collections organised properly.
3. I stopped syncing iBooks so everything was deleted. Then I restarted which copied everything back again.   Still no Collections organised properly.
4. I then went back to the iPad settings and changed the iBooks Apple ID back to the correct one that I use for iTunes/iBooks.
Finally it worked.  So all I can suggest is changing your Apple ID to another one, then back to the correct one.  This appears to have given it the nudge it needed.

    Going to sail in the Pacific Ocean. Want to get my contacts and calendar reminders out of Outlook into my iTouch while sailing with no access to G3, cloud or even Wi-Fi technologies. Could I sync using the docking cable via iTunes?

  • Can I sync contacts via iTunes with Mavericks?

    I would like to sync contacts and calendars via iTunes (wifi or not) to/from my iMac and not use iCloud.  Can I do this?  If so, how? 
    Thanks in advance,

    Make sure neither the phone nor the Mac have the Contacts/Calendars options enabled in their respective iCloud configurations, have the Mac's iTunes set to sync contacts/calendars up with the device (look in the respective tabs of the device's window),
    except this option is currently not available with Mavericks (as the OP asked).

  • Problems syncing books from iTunes to iPad

    Hi
    I hope someone can help me.  I'm having trouble syncing all my books from itunes to my ipad mini.  I've checked the box to sync all books, but despite this, not all the books are syncing.  I've even tried checking the "sync only selected books" and selected all the books, but still the same problem.  I have 5.41 gb free on my ipad so it isn't a storage issue
    I've restarted and restored my ipad, and rebooted my mac, but the problem persists and I'm now at a complete loss as to what the problem is. 
    I haven't downloaded OS Mavericks because of the problem people have experienced by losing the Books tab in itunes, so my books tab is still showing and all my books are in itunes and not the iBook app.
    Help please

    Are you sure you have correct colletion on iBook App. Collections> Books

  • Can no longer sync photos via itunes

    iTunes has quit syncing photos to my devices (iPad, iPhone). First I noticed that some photos were not synced by comparing to original folder contents. I tried removing all photos by deselecting the Sync Photos option and deleting the iTunes Photo Cache. Now when I attempt to sync, I immediately receive an error "xx items could not be synced. See iTunes for more information". Where is this information stored and how do I fix this issue?

    For: itunes 10.6.1.7 (on Win 7), iphone 3gs 5.1 (9B176)
    I am having a similar issue but on different hardware.  I attempt to sync photos but it only does about half of them.  I receive the "X items could not be synced. See iTunes for more information."
    - iTunes does not provide more information that I can find.
    - I deselected the sync of photos.
    - I restored my Iphone.
    - I deleted the "Ipod photo cache" folder.
    - Syncing the restored phone removed the photos on my Iphone successfully.
    - Syncing the photos again gives the above message.
    What am I doing wrong?
    Why does iTunes promise me more information?

  • Are my wi fi passwords for the various wi fi places I go sync'd with itunes?  Will they transfer to my new iphone 4S when I sync that via itunes? ?

    Are my wi fi passwords on my ipod touch for the various wi fi places I go sync'd with itunes?  Will they transfer to my new iphone 4S when I sync that with itunes?  Where can i find a list of these passwords associated with wi fi networks on my ipod?

    if i recall correctly - if you sync the same iphone it does restore your wifi passwords - but if you sync to a different iphone it does not (for security reasons)

  • I cannot purchase books via iTunes

    Hi..
    i was trying to purchase books thru' iTunes, however, when I signed in, was told that the book I want to buy only available thru' US account. Is there any way i can purchase using my account? I lived in Indonesia at the moment.
    Thank you for your kind attention.

    You're welcome. After doing a little bit of quick research, it does appear as though "games" are restricted in Brazil. See what you might be able to find in "entertainment" if you have that available in Brazil. there might be an app in there that will keep you amused in the meantime!
    Good luck!!!
    BTW ... the restrictions in place would be there because of the government imposing them. Apple can only sell content that the government allows them to sell.

  • IPad 4 w iBooks syncs Books via iCloud but not pdf's on my iMac iBooks

    Why dont the Pdf's come over from iBooks on the iMac to the iPad4?

    They won't go via iCloud, only ibooks that you buy/download from iTunes will potentially show (whilst they remain in the store) in the iBooks app on your iPad for redownloading - if you want the PDFs in the iBooks app on your iPad then you will need to connect the iPad to your Mac and select it in iTunes, and use its Books tab to select and sync them to it.

  • Syncing photos via iTunes - getting new error message" "the iphone could not be synced because the connection to iphone was lost"

    I am trying to sync photos in a dedicated file on my desktop with the photo library on my iPhone 4S.  Something I have done many times before. 
    Since upgrading to iTunes 11 I get this message "the iphone could not be synced because the connection to iphone was lost" midway through the sync.  I do not understand this as I am syncing via the USB lead, so how can the connection be lost?
    Bascially I just want to update the photos on my iPhone with new photos I have added to the file I use on my computer.
    Any help or ideas would be gratefully received.  Thanks.

    This may help you

  • Synced photos via iTunes..

    I have got a new iPhone and wanted all my personal things onto my new iPhone. Plugged them in and backed them up but I have lost everything on my new iPhone. Cause I had backed them up my images were saved on my MacBook although when it came to syncing them onto my new phone it would not allow me to delete them off of my phone and the images are in 3 different albums.. I am very fussy on presentation and this is really getting on my nerves!!
    So.. How can all the images be moved into 1 album??
    HELP ME!!

    Photos/albums transferred from your computer via the iTunes sync process are removed from the iPhone in the same way - via the iTunes sync process.
    All photos transferred from your computer via the iTunes sync process are stored in the iPhone's Photo Library.
    Photos in the albums or folders below include a pointer to the original photos stored in the Photo Library so the photos are not duplicated as in taking up double the storage space.
    This way you can view the photos in an album only by selecting the album, or you can view all photos in all albums transferred from your computer by selecting Photo Library.
    You cannot change this.

  • Sync contacts via iTunes with no cloud impossible!? *** Apple?

    Hey Apple,
    are you serious? You force your customers to upload contact information into the cloud by deleting the option to sync contact information via wire from Mac to iPhone? Well, I don't really know whether you guys do not read any news but this is the very wrong time for that.
    Who do you think you are forcing us to spread private information onto your server and the server of your big friends from the NSA?
    I am seriously disappointed...Now I either stay away from 10.9 until some guy releases a software that fixes this lack. great. what's next? will you still let me install programs I choose or do I have to get them from the mac app store? oh and yeah, I do buy CDs if you don't mind, I do not want to download them from iTunes, sorry. Would you still let me listen to them on my Mac?
    If this is the way we are all going...you can walk that way without me. I have owned a macbook, an iMac, 2 iPads, 3 iPhones and two iPods in the last 6 years...maybe it's time for a change...if that is the only way of showing you that I am a free person.
    think about it.

  • How do I make iPod Classic import (sync) photos via iTunes so that the photos stay in order by filename and can then be viewed as a slideshow in the correct order?

    I carefully number my iPod bound photos so that they are in a desired order by filename.  When I sync the photos to my iPod Classic they are not in the same order.  A typical filename would be:  001 001 IMG-3489.jpg followed by 001 002 IMG-3478.jpg.  Windows uses the first seven characters to order the files and does not care what follows the first seven so long as the first seven are not duplicated within the folder.  My iPod ignores that convention.  HELP! PLEASE!  I want to view my slideshows in the correct order.
    Thanks

    Does both your Windows and Macbook iTunes have the same library of songs?
    if it  does then, much easier to proceed, else try to load the Macbook with the same library as Windows.
    Note that only one of the Macbook USB port is good for iPod Classic, the other is too slow and may cause timeout, and I would suggest disconnect all other USB devices, while you Restore or Sync the iPod Classic.
    Connect the iPod to the Mac, (if iTunes launch, please close it back.)
    Use Disk Utility -> select the iPod Device->First Aid->Repair (use option FAT32)
    After the Repair complete, eject the iPod.
    Connect back to the Mac
    When iTunes launch, Restore the iPod when Prompted, (use FAT32)
    Sync your library.
    Good Luck!

  • How do I recover my contact list which I lost while transferring it from iPhone 3GS to windows address book via iTunes, How do I recover my contact list which I lost while transferring it from iPhone 3GS to windows address book via iTunes

    How do I recover my contact list which I lost while transferring it from iphone3gs to windows address book.

    Did you try and sync it with an address book on your computer that contained no entries at all?  If so, then they are gone.
    IF you backed up the phone before trying to do this, you may be able to recover some of the information using 3rd party software to try and extract it from the backup. I have no personal experience with any of these programs, so I'll leave specific recommendations to others who do.
