Audio book tracks run together

I have transferred audio books to iTunes and then to my iPod and the tracks run together at the very end of each track. How do I solve this?

Thanks for the reply.
I probably should have mentioned that the audio book music type is not set to audio book. For all intents and purposes the way I have my books set should make them no different from a normal music album (just with a much higher number of tracks in most cases). If this had been my first time importing an audio book cd/download I may be more inclined to try a 3rd party software to help resolve the issue, however my books used to play fine, as albums, for several years over the course of several ipods and are just now giving me this issue.
I did make an attempt in my own troubleshooting to change one of the problem books' music type to audio book. This did nothing more then move the book out of my normal library view and hide it under the audio book category. The issue of each track acting as it's own album did not change.

Using avid m-audio fast track and avid m-audio fast track solo together

I Wanted to use avid m-audio fast track and avid m-audio fast track solo together so that I can get 4 inputs
i I tried to select it, but could enable any one only. How can I use them together??

You can use only one device at a time I Logic. However, in the Audio MIDI Setup utility (Applications>Utilities) you can create an aggregate device, which effectively combines multiple devices into one "virtual" device, which you can then choose in Logics' coreaudio device setup.

Putting audio book tracks in order

I have put an audio book from a cd onto my iPod mini. I am trying to figure out how to be able to listen to the tracks in order. I have eventually renumbered them so from disk to disk the numerical order remains. I have numbered the tracks from 01-120. When I go to listen to the book on the iPod, the tracks are all scrambled. I'm very new with this "toy" and need to know the secrets! Thanks for any help.

I think I have it solved. "It ain't pretty, but it'll do..." I did, indeed, discover that I had to disable the party shuffle option. Then I renumbered the tracks so that instead of each disk beginning with #1, I started where the last disk left off. So disk #2 began with Track 18 and disk #3 began with Track 35. Then I figured out how to create the smart playlist! So now each of the books shows up all together as one playlist, in order, and I think that'll solve the problem. At least it isn't in the order where all the Track 1's are together and all the Track 2's and so forth. It takes quite awhile to get the book transferred to the iPod but at least I can do it. IF there is an easier way, I sure would like to figure that out! Thanks for the suggestions!

CD songs load as Audio book tracks. How can I get them into music library?

Greetings.
Strange. Some songs I've imported into iTunes from CDSs load into the Audiobooks folder. I can't drag them into the music folder. In one case, one song from one CD - but not any of the others - will only import as an audiobook. I can't even import it from my
Can anyone explain why this is happening and how I can get the songs into the music library?
Thanks.

In iTunes 8:
Select Track(s) > right click > get info
Options tab > Media Kind
if you want the track to appear in Music select Music or Audiobook if you want it in the Audiobook tab.
It's also useful to set the Genre of audio books to something common (spoken, audiobook etc)

Rename Audio Book Tracks to File Name

I can't find a fix for this anywhere so please help!
I've imported my wife's audio books from 15 cds. The difficulty is that the tracknames cannot be sorted into the right order except by sorting by creation date (I imported them sequentially). This is no use on her iPod Nano that forgets where it was. I've managed to change the actual filenames in the Finder into a proper series (with R-Name). How can I make the track names the same as the filenames on iTunes?
Please help…most her books have 150 to 190 odd tracks (Jane Austen).
Thanks

I have a 56 folder audiobook of Les Miserables. Every folder has filenames that are identical: Disk 01>Les Miserables - 01.mp3. I am not willing to rename them all - thats just stupid. I listen to audiobooks all the time and this wouldbe my whole life. How do I sort these on itunes and put them into files in my iphone music library? Without folders to organise things, I dont see how people can tolerate iphones. Am I missing something or is the interface really as limited as it seems?

Playing Imported Audio Books - tracks won't play in order - why?

I import a lot of Audio Book CDs into my iPod Touch for convenience.
The problem is that although the tracks import in order, are correctly named and play in order from iTunes on the PC they almost never play in order on my IPod Touch, Ipod Classic or iPhone.
The Ipod just seems to shuffle playing order. I have disabled shuffle. The iPod is not automatically shuffling due to shaking.
How do I get the tracks to play in the correct orderr.

Here are some hints and guidelines for labeling and organizing audiobooks in iTunes.
Click on the first file of the audiobook imported files list. Press and hold down the “Shift” key while doing so. While you continue to hold this key down, press the down arrow on your keyboard repeatedly until all of the files (chapters) for the first audiobook are selected. At the last file of the first audiobook, click your left mouse button once. You will see all the files from the first to last file highlighted.
Go back into the “File” menu on iTunes and click on “Get Info.” This will bring up a menu of settings you can apply to the highlighted files. Click on the “Options” tab in the settings menu that appears. Make sure the media type is selected as “audiobook.” Next to “Remember position” the option of “Yes” should be indicated.
Next you’ll want to properly label the audiobook audio files. Click on the “Info” tab and fill out relevant information you want to include on the filenames for easy access. Under “album name” put the name of the book and under “artist name” put the name of the author.
Save the settings. Click on “Audiobooks” in the long left hand side menu in iTunes. This should be in the upper left hand area. You will see a list of your newly renamed audiobook files to the right hand side.
Right click on each file individually starting with the first file of the audiobook. Click “Get Info” and under the “Name” section enter “Chapter 01” and repeat this process for each track going in order changing the chapter number by one number higher each time. Chapters 1 through 9 must have a zero before the primary number such as Chapter 01 and Chapter 09.
When you are finished the audiobook will not only be in the proper track order which allows you to play the chapters in order, but the audiobook will be labeled and easy to find.

Unable to burn iTunes Store audio book track to CD - Track to long

I am unable to burn an audio book I purchased to CD because the track is to long, 2 hours and 8 minutes. I tried setting the start and stop times to be less than 1 hour, but I still get the message. How can I get the track burned to a set of CDs?

I found a work around.
1. Select the long track and using get info
2. Set the start and stop times and check the check boxes next to them.
3. Create a new play list of the selected track.
4. Burn a CD using the new playlist.

Audio book track titles are dates

I have several audio books that the tracks are dates but iTunes is not organizing them by the dates. Is there a way to organize them by the title as the date?

Audio books tracks

I have had some co-workers download a few audio books from the iTunes music store.
When they downloaded the book it came as one long track. Are all the audio books like that? Or do they download with each chapter being a track?
If they do download as one track how does it work with burning to CD? It would be a pain to have a audio book on CD and not be able to skip forward to the next chapter.
I am very unfamiliar with how audio books work from the iTunes music store so if anyone can give some insight, it would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Chris

HT2673 error in downloading audio book from itunes

I downloaded audio book but it will not play stating a message that my iphone is not connected to internet which it is connected

Hello Bobejoe,
You will want to change the file type to Audiobook for each audio book track in iTunes. To do this, locate the tracks you wish to change the *Media Type* for. Then right->click on each of those tracks and choose "Get Info" from the shortcut menu. From there, head over to the Options tab. There is a section labeled *Media Type* with a drop down box next to it. Go ahead and choose Audiobook, and then sync the updated changes to your iPod.
That should do the trick for you.

How to sync an audio book into Itouch?

I put the audio book in the itunes library, but after syncing it goes to the music library at my itouch and the audio book category remains empty. Therefore, I cannot use the audio book features when listening to the audio book tracks. Can anyone help me please?
thanks,
dsbo

you need to highlight the tracks, right click, get info, options. change the 'media kind' to audiobook.

Why do my songs and audio books keep getting erased when I add a new book? Now some books will not play and the iPod does not keep track of where I was when I pause a book, leave for music and then go back!

About a month ago I added some new audio books to my iPod Classic and then after disconnecting, I discovered EVERYTHING had been erased.
I had to restore through my iTunes but then I could not load my music back on.
I uninstalled / reinstalled iTunes and completely reformated the iPod drive.
I successfully got my music and books back on but then added a new book two days ago only to discover everything got erased AGAIN!!!
Of course, my 1 Year Warranty was up about a week before the first incident.....
I formatted the iPod again, uninstalled / reinstalled iTunes (it was freezing during sync) and downloaded all my music and books again.
Now I have several books that will not play (they play on iTunes and they played on the iPod before all these events) and the iPod does not keep track of where I was in a book when I have to stop and go to something else.
Does anyone know what is going on with this thing??? I have a 5th Gen Video and in all the years I've had it, I've NEVER had problems like this!
Does anyone have any ideas on what I can do to get my iPod Classic up and running properly again?
Thanks.

When iTunes/iPod sync process failed due to timeout, the iPod, has only the initilaised filesytem structure at the start of the Sync.
The timeout failure could be due to
Bad hardisk - do the iPod disk diagnostic, refer to this excellent post by tt2
Slow USB port or resource - Dont use any USB hub, disconnect all other USB devices while syncing
Timeout due to Antivirus or other plugins - disconnect from Internet and stop the Antivirus or monitoribng software if you are syncing.
Preferably stop doing other things while syncing this ancient device, which the latest iTunes designer, think will soon be extinct.
Have a nice day!

I have an apple iphone 4 that I want to download audio books from my library onto it. I cannot figure out how to do that. The iphone does not show up on my mac laptop as a connected device. Does this kind of download have to run through itunes? Thanks

Yes it is done through iTunes. The iPhone will never show up in Finder as a device. The following is general information on iTunes sync: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1386 and the following is a previous discussion where the post by Andreas Junge helped others that had a problem syncing audiobooks: https://discussions.apple.com/message/20052732#20052732

I updated to OS X Mavericks and now trying to run Logic Pro X on a MacBook Pro mid-2009, using an M-Audio Axiom 49 and an M-Audio Fast Track Pro... Logic keeps telling me that Mac OS X MIDI Services are not available... How do I solve this problem?

I updated to OS X Mavericks and now trying to run Logic Pro X on a MacBook Pro mid-2009, using an M-Audio Axiom 49 and an M-Audio Fast Track Pro... Logic keeps telling me that Mac OS X MIDI Services are not available... How do I solve this problem?

I just checked to see if the update to OS X Yosemite 10.10.1 solved any of the issues outlined in my previous post, and to my dismay, nothing has changed -- all of the previous problems persist.
My iMac (8) -- it's renamed itself eight times since the recent troubleshoot with the Apple tech rep -- shows up as a shared device in Finder on my MacBook Pro, but when I click on it, I cannot establish a connection using "Connect As". So I've attempted to connect using the menu "Go/Connect to Server...", using both (alternately) the iMac's name and IP address, to no avail. I get a message which reads: "There was a problem connecting to the server 'Peter's iMac (8)'. This server may not exist or it is unavailable at this time. Check the server name or IP address, check your network connection, and then try again."
Here's what I know:
The server -- Peter's iMac (8) does exist;
The server -- Peter's iMac (8) is available at this time;
The server name -- Peter's iMac (8) -- is correct, as specified in the system sharing preferences;
The server IP address is correct, as specified in the system sharing preferences;
The network connection is active when I attempt to connect.
I'm convinced the problems stem directly from the OS X Yosemite update. None of this was ever remotely an issue in the previous OS X's -- any of them. This is maddening! What can be done? Apple?? Anyone???

Organizing Tracks in Audio books

I have imported two audio books onto my shuffle. The tracks are organized 1 thru 23 with chapters listed as the name and 1 thru 25 with the chapter titles listed as name in iTunes. I imported using auto fill from music and unchecked choose items randomly.
When I click the next track shuffle button, they are not in sequence and random chapters play between the two books.
Advice will be appreciated.

What I found that has worked consistently is to first copy the podcasts into a new playlist, because iTunes won't let you edit the files while they are in the default folder that they download into; once the files are in the new playlist, go to Menu > View > View Options and enable the Sort Name field. Then you can number the files in whatever order you want, click on the title of the Sort Name column and they will play in that order after copying to your Shuffle.
