I wonder if there is a "manual sync" option somewhere In my case of copying an mp3 ebook cd's mp3 tracks to itunes, originally I converted them to AAC and, when finished, they were automatically moved from the music section of the library to the books section. I attempted, but was unable to drag them from the library book section to the device.
I finally went back, erased the tracks and started over and did not convert them to AAC. As MP3 files, they had "Book" but not "AudioBook" options as they did as AAC files, and they stayed in the music section allowing syncing both them and music files. Beverly Howard. Dec 15, PM in response to bevhoward In response to bevhoward I was having the same problem.
I was trying to drag and drop my books from iTunes to my iPhone, but it was saying that my phone wasn't synced to this computer I went into my computers library under Books, grabbed the books I wanted, copied them, then clicked my iPhone's Books and pasted them User profile for user: rickwookie rickwookie.

That's totally the answer I was looking for. The stupid thing is, all my purchases used to be automatically transferred until the other day when I had to start manually managing my music and video as the iPhone was getting full.
Since then, books, apps, music and video don't get transferred to the PC when purchased on the device, which makes no sense. If I'd not read your post I would probably have lost my free days gifts but accepting the prompt to wipe existing files my syncing books again. Sort it out apple! Message was edited by: rickwookie.

I had downloaded stuff on my ipod before syncing. Good to know how to transfer them. User profile for user: khungui khungui. I just wanted to add a pdf of my own from iTunes on my computer to ibooks on my iPod. ITunes told me that if I sync books which is where I put the pdf , I would erase all my songs and pictures. Reading this thread, I decided to risk it, because I can't believe Apple would destroy my files simply because I wanted to add one more.

When you want to manually manage music and transfer only certain songs to your device , uncheck songs in your iTunes library or use the iTunes Sync screen.
You can't manually manage music. To sync only checked songs in your iTunes library on your computer, you need to first make a setting change:. Open iTunes on your computer and connect your iOS device. Select the device icon that's located at the top of the sidebar.
Choose Summary. In the Options section, select the Sync only checked songs and videos check box. Select Done to save the setting. In the Library section of the sidebar, select Songs to display a listing of all the songs in your iTunes library on your computer. If you don't see the Library section, use the back arrow at the top of the sidebar to locate it.
Place a checkmark next to the name of any song you want to transfer to your iOS mobile device. Remove the checkmark next to the names of songs you don't want to sync to your iOS device. To select contiguous items, click the item at the beginning of the group you want to uncheck, hold Shift , then click the item at the end.
All the songs in between will get checkmarks. To select non-contiguous items, hold down Command on a Mac or Control on a PC and click each item you want to check or uncheck. Return to the Summary page for your device and select Sync to update the music. Or on your iPhone, iPad, or Android phone, press and hold the item that you want to delete.
Tap or click Remove. From the menu that appears, choose Remove or Remove Download. Or choose "Delete from Library" to remove the item from all devices that you use with Apple Music. Scroll to Music, then tap it. Swipe left on any artist, album, or song.
Or if you want to delete all music, swipe left on All Songs. Tap Delete. More about deleting music that you purchased If you deleted an item from your device and you don't want the item to stream to your device or appear in the cloud, hide the item. To delete videos that you downloaded to your Mac, use the Apple TV app. Why does iBooks use syncing as its primary way of preserving and restoring its books?
What on earth could Apple be thinking in making iBooks behave in this unexpected way? It seems clear that Apple thinks that ebooks are like songs. Very well, then. The trouble is, of course, that Apple is wrong. Books are not like songs in the iOS universe: the entire analogy is artificial, and breaks down when confronted with practical reality — as it did in my case. Suppose a book arrives via Dropbox or Safari on the device, and I transfer it to iBooks.
Unless I take measures independently to make a separate backup, that may well be my only copy of the book. And such measures may not be easy to take, because the device, with respect to this strange music-and-movies-and-books category, is like a diode: current passes only one way.
Plan ahead. Or I suppose you could just knuckle under and let iTunes sync your books. Books are not just data, at least when still under copyright. Presumably, the requirement to sync via iTunes is to protect authors like yourself and publishers like Tidbits.
Books are exactly like other media that we pay for via iTunes. Could iBooks handle non-iTunes content more elegantly? Likely so. Is that a priority for Apple? Not likely. I see where you're going with this, but I can't see any reason why the copyright aspects of books would come into play in a personal backup - there's no protection for authors that's going on here.
Making a copy of copyrighted material for personal backup has significant precedent, and by failing to back up and restore manually managed books which is a supported technique , Apple is simply harming the iOS user experience. But in my normal setup, where I back up to iCloud but do sync with iTunes, my non-purchased books came back only after syncing. Oh, interesting, so perhaps it's only a problem if you have synced books explicitly with iTunes.
