IOS – Epubs from iBooks not showing up in iTunes on Mac OS X Sierra

booksepubicloudiositunes

I have about a few hundred of epubs that I’d regularly been syncing on my iOS devices until I’ve updated to Sierra a few days ago, when suddenly only a few books showed up in iTunes.

I tried turning iCloud support for iBooks on/off as some people have suggested on other forums but it didn’t help.

How can I make all epubs from iBooks to show up in iTunes?

Best Answer

OK, I’ve managed to solve this with the help of another guy from Apple Suport Forum.

Here’s what I did:

  1. I Quit the iTunes
  2. I opened iBooks
  3. I backed up my books and PDF’s from iBooks by dragging and holding alt copying them to a backup folder
  4. I deleted all of my books and PDF’s from iBooks
  5. I quit the iBooks
  6. I went to the Settings > iCloud > Options > iBooks and turned the iCloud support for iBooks off
  7. I went to the Library folder in Finder and located the nsurlsessiond folder via search
  8. I copied the folder to the backup folder, just in case
  9. I deleted the nsurlsessiond folder
  10. I shut the OS X down
  11. I turned the computer on
  12. I opened iBooks I moved my books and PDF’s from the backup folder to iBooks
  13. I turned the iCloud support for iBooks on (see the step 6)
  14. I opened iTunes
  15. Voilah! All of my books and PDF’s are there!
  16. I synced the books successfully to both iPad 3 and iPhone 6
  17. I checked the highlights, bookmarks, notes and the last page read and everything was properly syncing
