My local library uses a program called Overdrive Media Console to check out audiobooks. MP3 type books go to music on my iPod Nano, but I am unable to delete them because I tunes doesn't display them as content. What should I do? I need the space.

According to my library, I can download MP3 audio books to my Ipod Nano. The material is "checked out" to a program called Over Drive Media Console. and from there, it is transferred to my IPod. the audio doesnt go to Audi Books, it goes to Music. I want to delete some of the books I have listened to, but when I plug in the Ipod and open ITunes, the titles are not there. The manual says to connect to itunes, and delete a "song or other material" but since I did not use ITunes to get the
"song" to begin with, it isnt recognized. How can I get these audioboks off my IPOD? I am running out of space. I tried connecting to Overdrive, but the software doesnt recognize the internal content. It only sets it up for transfer.

The audio books do not display under the music sub-menu
And they shouldn't. They should be under the Books submenu that is further down the list from the Music submenu you are referring to.

Transfer an audiobook from PC (using Overdrive Media Console - software , Transfer an audiobook from PC (using Overdrive Media Console - software , Transfer an audiobook from PC (using Overdrive Media Console - software

I can't find out how to transfer an audiobook I borrowed from the library (it's on my PC and plays on it) to my iPod Touch2 4th generation. I have the device linked via the PC's USB port via the cable connector, and iTunes shows the device on the software page, but when I try to transfer the book I get a message from the Overdrive Media console software (which is the necessary software to download from the library) advising me that a setting on the iTunes must be changed to allow the tranfer between my PC to the iPod. Something about choosing "manually", but I cannot find anything on the iTunes page that allows me to do this. I can't see it in help or tutorials, or anywhere. Can you provide an answer to this dilemma for me please. Thank You, in advance, Pat C

Pat, to find it see Paragraph 3, in the summary below.
Many libraries worldwide now use Overdrive Media Console, which comes in Mac an Windows versions http://www.overdrive.com/Software/omc . Some find the mobile device transfer process confusing. To load or delete a WMA or MP3 (Macs can only download MP3 books) audiobook onto an Apple mobile device see the "How to Transfer to a Portable Device" video in the guides at Step 7, then do the following.
1. For Windows versions, you must first do a security update of Windows Media Player (even though you won't be using it) using Internet Explorer at http://drmlicense.one.microsoft.com/indivsite .
2. Open iTunes, plug the mobile device into the computer USB port and open the Overdrive Media Console.
3. Highlight the mobile device in the left hand menu of iTunes and insure the "Manually manage music and videos" box is checked in the Summary Tab. If the mobile device storage is full, transfering will delete that portion of music necessary for the ebook.
4. Highlight the book you want to transfer in the Overdrive Media Console and click the Transfer Button. A window opens permitting you to click the boxes for parts of the book you wish to transfer.
5. After the book has been transfered, when you click the disclosure triangle (arrow) to the left of the iPod, iPhone, or iPad in the Device section of the left hand menu of iTunes, MP3 books will show up under the Music subsection and WMA books will show up in the Books subsection. Once the mobile device is disconnected from iTunes, MP3 books will show up in the Songs list of the mobile device and WMA books will show up in the Books list.
6. To remove a book from a mobile device plug the device into the USB port and open iTunes. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of your iPod, iPhone, or iPad in the Device section of the left hand menu of iTunes so that you can see the device’s subcontents. For an MP3 book select the Music subsection, right click on the book and choose Delete. For a WMA book, select the Book subsection, right click on the book and choose Delete.
7. The Overdrive Media Console Guided Tour (videos) is at http://www.overdrive.com/Solutions/Libraries/tour/MenuWelcome.html . The "Portable Devices" and "How to Transfer to a Portable Device" videos are there.
8. To find a nearby library for ebooks search http://search.overdrive.com . You can download the software, search for books and see tutorials without an account at the website of any library that uses Overdrive, however, you need a library card to download books. At this library site, for example, the software and guided tour are at the bottom of the left hand menu.

Music wiped from iPod nano but still in library

Trying to update my iPod nano, I get this error message:
Songs on the iPod "Claire's iPod" cannot be updated because all of the playlists selected for syncing no longer exist
I inadvertently deleted a playlist entitled Claire's iPod earlier, which seemed to contain all but a few songs in my library, created during my last update, possibly due to space being short on my iPod?
All songs are still in my library. How do I get them back onto iPod nano?
Help! Thanks.

Your options are:
1. Create a new playlist with the same name as the one you deleted
2. Create a new playlist with any name. When your iPod appears, go to the second(music) tab and select the playlist you just created to be synced, and no other one unless you want it.

Hi, I have a 7th Gen Ipod Nano and I am unable to delete songs. When synced on the PC I can select tracks but right clicking on them does not give the ability to delete. I have downloaded the latest 1.0.3 software but it did not help.

Hi, I have a 7th gen ipod nano and am having a problem with deleting songs. I can select the track in my ipod's library but right clicking does not bring up the option to delet. I have downloaded the latest update for the ipod but this has not solved the issue. Can anyone suggest a remedy? thanks

Hello Lor100,
In order to delete or add individual songs from and to your iPod, you'll need to enable 'manual mode' on the device. This will allow you to add and remove exactly the content you desire.

My main computer I have my itunes with died, I had all of my music there. I do have all music on an ipod nano but when I connect it to one of my other computers it wants to erase what is there, can I use the cloud to upload all my music from the nano?

My main computer died where i was keeping tohusands of songs, never had a icloud account to share with all my computers I authorized for my account. I do have just about all of the music ononeofmy ipod nanos. Can I set up a cloud account and then upload all of my music from the nano? Right now it will not allow me to "push" my musicfrom thenano to one of my working computers that I have Itunes on. What can Ido?

No. An iPod Nano has no internet access.

Downloading audiobooks from OverDrive Media Console

When I download an audiobook to my iphone4 using OverDrive Media Console it appears as being in correct order when I look at it in iTunes but not on my phone. How can I get it in the correct order on my phone.

I agree that transferring audiobooks to an iPhone using Overdrive is very flaky. My biggest issue now is that when I do a transfer, about every 3rd or 4th segment doesn't transfer successfully. I have to go back and select those and transfer again and then they are out of order with no apparent way to put them in the correct order. So when I start listening to the book, I have to closely monitor when I am at the end of a part so that I can manually select the next part.
My latest transfer of a book with 14 parts placed 2 versions in Audiobooks with the order 5, 12, 1, 2, 3, 6, 8, 9, 10, 13, 14. (missing parts 4, 7, and 11)
When I went back to Overdrive and selected parts 4, 7, and 11 to transfer, my iPhone then had a playlist with the book with the order 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 13, 14, 4, 7, 11.
Crazy!!

Overdrive media console on Bootcamp Windows?

I am getting an error while trying to install overdrive media console (Windows) on the Bootcamp part of my MacbookPro. I had downloaded a file called "overdrive media console setup.msi" from overdrive media website. The installation keeps on hanging up with the error message that "the file overdrivemediasetup.msi which is on a network resource is not available". I keep on pointing out that file on the desktop but the error continues. Any inputs to get this resolved will be appreciated.

quick update it turns out that the 9320 runs on os 7.1 and this os is not compatible with a lot of apps

I cannot stream video from my local public library on my iPad Air 2 using Overdrive Media Console

I am unable to stream videos from my local public library on my iPad Air 2 using the Overdrive
Media Console App. I can stream videos on my older iPad 1st generation. Anyone else
having his problem?

The app gives you instructions to browse to the Overdrive site and put in your Zip Code. You can do this from Safari on the iPad. When you find your local library, you will be asked to log in with your Library Card and PIN. When you select compatible content, the Overdrive app will automatically launch, where it will give you the ability to download content segments, or even all segments. It will also help you keep track of when the book will expire etc. The books are broken up into many segments so that you can manage how much content is stored on your iPad. I did this just this morning, and downloaded 8 of 38 segments of the book 2666.

UNABLE TO DOWNLOAD LIBRARY BOOKS USING OVERDRIVE MEDIA CONSOLE

Hello until recently I was able to download e books from the library to my PlayBook using Overdrive Media Console. I was able to get directly to my PlayBook. However it is now not working. I am unable to download to PlayBook. I have deleted and reinstalled several times. The only way I can read is through my browser. This means I can only read where I have Internet access. I can not understand why it stopped working. I contacted my library but they were not sure what the problem is. Wondering if anyone has any suggestions. I hope I can figure it out as I enjoy borrowing books from the library.

Looks like nobody on the forum uses overdrive. Threads are mostly a year old if you search for Overdrive on the forum.
The recent reviews on blackberry world say that it no longer works.
Google "overdrive media console on playbook."
Check out the playbook instructions. http://overdrive.com/files/TestDrive/playbooksetup-P100.pdf
Contact the developers
Contact the library.
Remember they only sold two million playbooks worldwide which is a tiny number. Support for this minority app may be hard to find.
If you dare, you could try the security wipe and start again, but you may lose all your data as you need to backup and restore which is risky.
EDIT
Ask your library if their website has been updated to the new system which may work differently.

Transferring protected WMA audiobooks to iTunes/iPhone using OverDrive Media Console

Hi there,
My local library is now offering audiobooks. I have downloaded one, that went fine - I have the file and can listen to it. The problem is that I can't seem to transfer the WMA Audiobook to my iPhone using this software they provided (OverDrive Media Console), even though their website says that it can be transferred to apple devices (including my iPhone) and the library site says that this particular audiobook is permitted to be transferred to apple devices (including the iPhone).
When I try to Transfer using the OverDrive Media Console, I get this error:
"The OverDrive Media Console Transfer Wizard is not able to connect to iTunes. If you intend to transfer content to the iTunes Library and/or a supported Apple device, please note that iTunes v9.0.2 (or newer) is required. iTunes is available as a free download from Apple; visit http://www.apple.com/itunes/download to download iTunes. If your system meets this requirement, please close any open iTunes dialog boxes then attempt to transfer again."
I have read that others have had the problem, but there are few solutions emerging, from what I can see anyway.
I have went to this website (http://drmlicense.one.microsoft.com/indivsite) in my Internet Explorer browser and upgraded the Windows Media Player security version. OverDrive says my security upgrade version is 2.9.0.1.
My iTunes is up to date as far as I know. iTunes 10.4.0.80. Perhaps the recent update is something to do with this problem? I don't know. I am using Windows 7, and the OverDrive Media Console version is 3.2.0.5.
I have changed my iPhone settings to "Manually manage music and videos", as OverDrive requests this.
When I try to put these protected WMA Audiobook files into my Automatically Add to iTunes folder, I get an error message saying:
"One or more of the songs being added are in the protected WMA format, including the song "examplesongname01.wma", and could not be converted.
iTunes can only convert unprotected WMA songs. If you have the original CDs for these songs, you can import them using iTunes."
I have restarted iTunes, OverDrive Media Console, and my computer countless times. My home network sharing is turned off; I mention it as I saw someone had suggested that as a solution.
The two suggested solutions I haven't tried yet are:
- convert them to MP3
- uninstall and reinstall iTunes & OverDrive Media Console again.
I don't really want to uninstall iTunes. I have a lot of music and audiobooks; it takes half aday for iTunes to load them all up again. As for converting to MP3s; I don't know if this is legal. Plus, I don't know if these protected DRM files can be converted like that.
Ok, well I hope someone else was in the same boat & solved it. Otherwise it'd be a real shame if we couldn't get these protected WMA audiobooks onto our iPhones.
Hope you can help.
Thanks.

Once you have downloaded the audiobook to Overdrive Media (OMC), you need to connect the Apple device to which you wish to transfer the ebook, then use the transfer button on OMC. That converts it to an mp3 file. The ebook cannot be transferred to iTunes. iTunes is simply the medium used in the transfer to an Apple device. The tutorial below covers all the specifics.

Can not find WMA files in iTunes, for borrowing library books with Overdrive Media Console

I have borrowed audiobooks from the library, using iTunes and Overdrive Media Console for years. some months ago, I was suddenly unable to. thought it was my old computer, so bought a new one. took weeks to be able to get an upgrade from Windows, and when I was finally able to thought my troubles were over.
but, no, now the Overdrive Media says it can not connect to iTunes. someone at Overdrive said iTunes had to be the default player for WMA files, but I can not figure out how to make that happen, since there is nothing that looks like 'WMA files' anywhere on my computer. any advice? I can't afford to purchase audiobooks, and I really miss being able to borrow from the library. this new computer has Windows 8 OS

There is a OneClickdigital ereader available in the App Store. Download that to your iPod to read pdfs and books from the library. And you might need to download the OneClickdigital eaudio player to listen to audiobooks from the library. Once both are downloaded sync you iPod again to transfer them.

My local library uses a program called Overdrive Media Console to check out audiobooks. MP3 type books go to music on my iPod Nano, but I am unable to delete them because I tunes doesn't display them as content. What should I do? I need the space.
