How do I get my audio books purchased on iTunes onto my iPhone?

I have downloaded an audio book on iTunes, and I have searched my phone and I can't figure out how to listen to this book on my phone. When I look I can see the book is in my iTunes account on my computer. Is there a specific app I need for my phone? I have iBooks and the book is not there. I downloaded an app called Audible which is supposed to recognize my iTunes and it does not.
Help please. I'm not tech savvy and this is so frustrating.

Have you synced it from your computer's iTunes to your iPhone ? Audiobooks are a one-time only download from the store, so they need to synced or copied to any other devices or computer's that you want it on.
If not then it should be in the Books (Audiobooks if using OS X Mavericks on a Mac) part of your computer's iTunes library, and you should be able to sync it by connecting your phone and using the Books tab (in a similar way to how you use Music tab to sync music).
It should go into the Music app on your phone - when you have audiobooks on your phone you should get an Audiobooks option/tab in the Music app.
The iBooks app is just for ebooks, and the Audilbe app is for audiobooks that you buy direct from audible.com

    If iTunes purchases then transfer them to your iTunes library:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
    The sync to your iPhone. Make sure that in the Books pane in iTunes for the iPhone the box that says sync audio books is checked.

  • 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.

    Thanks Roaminggnome,
    I just spoke with a friend who like you is into Apple and he just walked me through the Cloud.  At least I was able to get those songs back. 
    Thanks.
    Do you know --- the last time I tried to back up my itunes it asked for 106 cd's do you how to direct the backup to the external drive?   By the way I found 3 back up cds from 2010 and 1 of the 3 cd's had an error.

  • TS1567 I have an old ipod nano. How do I download the songs I purchased from itunes onto my older ipod?

    How do I download the songs I purchased from itunes onto my older ipod nano...I believe it is a 2nd generation? I plug it into my computer, but nothing happens!!!

    Hello shay82578,
    It sounds like you are trying to sync music from iTunes to your iPod nano.  I found some articles with steps to sync music to your iPod:
    If you are using iTunes 11, you will want to follow the steps in this article:
    iTunes 11 for Windows: Set up syncing for iPod, iPhone, or iPad
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12313
    If you are using an earlier version of iTunes, you can follow the steps in this article:
    iTunes: Syncing media content to iPod
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1351
    To be able to sync music from iTunes to your iPod nano, the music will need to be on the computer rather than streaming from iTunes in the Cloud.  You can find the steps to download your purchased music to your computer's hard drive under the section titled, "Apps, Books, Music, Movies, or TV shows on a computer" in the following article:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
    Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Communities. 
    Best,

  • I downloaded the Keynote app to use on my iPad and because of iCloud, it is trying unsuccessfully to download onto my iPhone. How can I get it to stop attempting to download onto my iPhone? It says waiting and I can't delete it (no X to click). Thx!

    Did you try shutting down the device? Resetting? Disabling iCloud? Disabling auto-update?
    I'd find the problem that is keeping the download from proceeding and fix that so that the process can finish...sounds like it may be your connection or a server issue, in which case you may need to wait.

    If you bought it on your computer, then sync it as you would anything else.
    If you bought it on your iphone, then it would be downloaded to your iphone.
    Maybe you should read the manual.

  • How do I get the Audio Books to stick without error on any of my car

    Good evening all.
    I have been drafting a FAN message in my head for several days now, mainly because I have seen so many people baggin all over the ZEN in a number of posts... It's getting late, and I am resolved to not bore everyone with my rhetorical delights, so - for this night I enter to say: - THANK YOU so very much for the Helpful Hints thread, that was very kind. And 2- The PQI SD cards, both the 2GB as well as the 4GB are a hit with the ZEN as well as all the others mentioned thus far.
    Seems a big crowd is very disappointed with the cans and cant's of the internal memory being able to sync up directly with the SD cards; maybe my total "newby'ness", but I am thrilled with my product... I purchased the 2GB ZEN, and then scored the Bluetooth headphones that were discounted over a hundred bux over the Father's Day weekend.
    I'm a disabled, over the hill gentleman, and wanted a media player to keep me company on the powerwheelchair rides into town and what not... Yes... Being able to drag or send **bleep** from internal memory to the SD card, vice versa would be a treat, but things are workable as is.
    My ONLY problem thus far has been in trying to re-sync a couple of Audio Boox, FROM my ZEN internal flash memory, to my PC (that part looks as if it works out OK, and I can get them imported back into the AudioManager library) and then try to get them to hook in error free to one of the SD cards (it's here where the difficulty occurs)... I'd much prefer to have just music on the internal flash, and then carry all my extras on my cards; but I was all excited and stuff... Tried to take baby bites and little steps, but just couldn't resist digg!
    There is simply no way that I can figure out how to get the Audio Books to stick without error on any of my cards. And therefore I am reluctant to delete them off the ZEN itself.
    Ahhhwell... Li've and learn!
    Overall.. I am tickled green with the Creative ZEN, the Earphones and the investment into the extra 0 gigs of card memory.
    Well... That was a bit longer than I wished, but for ME, it was a pretty **bleep** short write!
    Good night all.. Sleep well...

    OH.. And my daughters little PNY 28mb card works with the unit too

    Even if you could get protected content on the SD cards, AFAIK the Zen won't support bookmarks for files on the SD cards. That would make listening to lectures or audio books on the SD card would be very inconvenient?(who wants to have to remember where their place is, then fast forward to it each time they restart listening to it's). I am curious. Do you have any problems getting the audiobook files to play in the correct order, or do the tags sort them properly? It seems like many series of lectures or other series of audiofiles sort properly on the pc or in mp3 players that use the folder/filename system, but might not sort properly based on the ID3 tags?

  • How do I get an audio book on my iphone

    I purchased an audiobook via my mac today and want to get it on my iphone.  I cannot figure out how to download it to my iphone.  I connected my iphone to my laptop to sync but it did not download?  How do I find and download it?

    I did the same thing about 2 weeks ago. Downloaded an audiobook from iTunes into my mac. Figured it would automatically sync to the iPhone. It didn't. I connected my iPhone to my mac and did a sync. Nothing. Tried to turn on Sync Books, but because I have most data connected to the Cloud, it wanted to delete all my music etc from my iPhone, so that wasn't an option. Today I attempted again. Not sure if it has to do with recent upgrades. I found a way today.
    I plugged my iPhone5 into my mac. Opened iTunes.
    In my mac library section, I went into 'Books' using the pulldown menu on the top left side of the window. (list has: Music, Movies, TVshows, Podcasts, Books, etc) (select Books).
    I selected the icon of the book I wanted to copy onto my iPhone. I right clicked the mouse and it gave an option in the list to 'copy'.
    Then I went to the top left pulldown menu and selected Music.
    I made a playlist. I pasted the file in there.
    Then I picked up the file and started to drag it towards the iPhone button on the top right. Before I got there, a window slide out from the right side of the screen that was titled the same name of my iPhone 5. I dropped the file in there.
    I went to the iPhone. Into Music. At the bottom of the iPhone screen on the right, I clicked More. I selected Audiobooks and there was the book I copied. Hurray! Plays perfectly.

    I have the same Apple ID for both devices. When I go to iTunes on the labtop I can locate the same audio book but it appears as though I am purchasing it again. My understanding is that I can share my iTunes content across 3 devices. Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks, Napa Mac User

    You should be able to go to purchases in iTunes and download it from there. There is also a setting for automatically downloading purchases made on other devices: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4539

  • How do i get an audio book to show the progress bar?

    I want to get back to a specific point in an audio book to listen over again without having to listen to an entire chapter. I used to be able to drag the bar that appeared under the title of the book, but that bar is not there any more. I have set it up in options as audio book, remember place etc, but the progress bar has disappeared from all my books.
