Can I play on audio book on iPod shuffle?

How do I download an audio book to my shuffle?  Can I?

Hello there Tony,
Here is an article outlining how to add, and listen to Audio Books and Podcasts to the iPod Shuffle.
iPod shuffle: Playing audiobooks and podcasts
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1831
Adding Audiobooks and Podcasts to iPod shuffle
The Autofill feature of iTunes will not add audiobooks and podcasts to any iPod model. They can be manually added by dragging them to the iPod shuffle in iTunes.
For iPod shuffle (3rd generation), you must enable Manually manage music in the Summary tab to drag songs to iPod shuffle. Additionally, you can automatically sync audiobooks using the Music tab and sync podcasts using thePodcasts tab in iTunes.
All the best,
Sterling

  • Audio Books on iPod Shuffle 4Gen

    Having just purchased my lovely new iPod shuffle, I wanted to load it immediately with some of my books (i use the shuffle exclusively for audio's) I loved the fact that the new shuffle distinguishes between books and music and has different categories for it, however, this is exactly my problem, when adding books,they will show up as added in iTunes, but when using the shuffle, it acts as if it is only loaded with ONE book, it will not play the others, although they show up when the shuffle is connected to iTunes.
    Has anyone experienced the same problem?
    I have done pretty much all I can think of, but nothing works, the whole point is to have more than one book on it, so, at the moment its pretty useless to me, especially since I do not want to re-categorize all my books into music and then have to wade through the whole mixed booksandmusic mess.
    I do hope somebody here has a clever solution to this problem!
    Fingers crossed that I might have just overlooked some tick box or some such thing.

    People are having the same problem in another thread: "Only plays 1 (ONE) Podcast - No matter what I do" http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2649381&tstart=0
    And that includes me! Even if you put multiple podcasts or audiobook files onto a playlist or smart playlist and then put it on your iPod shuffle, only one of them will play. To get the next one on the list to play you have to use Voice Over to scroll forward and then click play, which is ridiculous.
    My only advice is to get podcasts and audiobooks directly from websites, if possible, i.e., not as a podcast subscription through itunes. That way, your shuffle will not treat the files as podcasts and you'll avoid the hassle of trying to get them to play in order as a simple playlist.
    Obviously something is wrong with the way podcasts are implemented in 4th gen shuffle. Hope this gets fixed soon.

  • After I updated my iPhone 5 to iOS7 I can no longer see the individual chapters when playing my audio books.  Also I can't edit and copy multiple text messages.

    After I updated my iPhone 5 to iOS7 I can no longer see the individual chapters when playing my audio books.  Also I can no longer edit a and copy multiple text messages like before. Is there a way to do these things I am missing?

    Not only can i not see the individual chaptes -- apparently like you and everyone else suffering through the "improved" iOS7 -- when my audiobook repeats a "file" within  chapter, which it sometimes does, I cannot get "inside" the chapter and move forward to where I'm supposed to be.
    Whatever happened to "if it ain broke.......???

  • What do I do to download an audio book to ipod nano

    What do I do to download an audio book to ipod nano?

    If you are currently using automatic syncing for the other media types, such as songs, you need to go to iPod's Books tab.
    First, if you are using the latest version of iTunes, it may hide the sidebar.  To show the sidebar, go up to the menu bar, and under View, select Show Sidebar.
    Select the iPod in the sidebar, under DEVICES.  Over to the right, there is a row of "tabs" that starts with Summary.  One of those tabs is Books (if you currently have audiobooks in your iTunes library).  On the Books tab, set it to Sync Audiobooks, and choose to sync All audiobooks or Selected audiobooks.  If you choose the latter, checkmark the audiobooks you want to sync below.  Apply the change.
    If you use the manual method (not automatic syncing) to load songs, by dragging songs from the iTunes library to the iPod in the sidebar, you can do the same with audiobooks.  Find them under Books in the iTunes library, and drag the ones you want to the iPod in the sidebar.

  • How can I manage the audio-books in iTunes ?

    Hello, this problem is pretty annoying: I don't know why I can't see the audio-books located in my iPod in iTunes, because I couldn't see the Audio-Books section under devise, so I can't manage my audio-books in my iPod. How can I do it?

    The tabbed sections of the device don't necessarily tally with sections in iTunes. You'll find that Audiobooks appears as a playlist under music. Sync from here. See also http://www.samsoft.org.uk/iTunes/audiobooks.asp

  • How can I get my audio book back on my ipad?

    How can I get my audio book back on my ipad?
    After syncing with itunes on the pc, my newly purchased audio books vanished from the ipad, and I can't copy it back! I've tried copying the audio book back into the library, but that didn't help.
    Also couldn't get iTunes on my iCloud! there was no where to select on the icloud dashboard so that I can add iTunes ... Help!

    Audiobooks are not currently available for repeat download from iTunes in the Cloud. Your audiobook should have transferred to your iTunes library when you synced your device.
    You will need to contact support through the "Report a problem" links in your account history, or via Contact Support.

  • Can I play home video on my ipod touch?

    Can I play home video on my ipod touch?

    So, the only way to watch home video in ipod touch is via itunes? Because in fact i'm trying to use my ipod touch as a video monitor for my DSLR camera while i use it for filming. I thought i could use the hdmi adapter for ipod touch, but everyone tells me that it might not be possible, so i wont buy it without knowing if it is possible or not. I wonder if it is phisicaly possible, so all we would need for that is someone to develop a softare to use the hdmi adapter to watch a video into an ipod. I say this because my camera has a hdmi video out, but it could be with simple RCA cables too. Someone think it is possible?

  • Can't find my audio book -- Downloaded it from my public library to iTunes via Overdrive. It transferred to my old nano just fine but, even though it seemed to transfer to my new iPhone, I'm not able to locate it for playback.

    Thank you. That solved the problem. So simple but it wasn't intuitive to me.
