2.0 And Audiobooks

I cannot listen to any audiobook I converted to AAC on my iPhone now. It just cycles and exits.

I am having the same problem after I installed the iphone 2.0 update - when I touch the book title, the screen advances to the album art as usual, but within a second or so, it goes back. Interestingly enough, it happens not with with all audiobooks. I have an impression that I cannot play the books that I have played before (therefore, there is play position saved). A book that I believe I have not played before, can be played without problems.

  • ITunes shows the music and audiobooks I've loaded to my iPod Touch, but they do not show up when I try to play them.

    iTunes shows the music and audiobooks I've loaded to my iPod Touch, but they do not show up when I try to play them.  I reconnect to iTunes and it shows the music and books as being loaded on my iPod.
    Sometimes the audiobook will play, then disappear from iPod's play menu after I reconnect to iTunes and load more music.  I've got plenty of free memory, and iTunes shows the files still on iPod.
    ....or should I just roll it back to iOS 5...  never had these kinds of issues with the old OS.

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost      
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Unsync/delete all AB and resync
    To delete all ADgo to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Manage Storage>AB and try deleting them from there
    - Reset all settings                            
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.

  • I have  a partitioned laptop. Itunes automatically consigns movies and audiobooks in the C drive which is close to full. How do I get itunes to work from the movies and audiobooks files in my D drive so that the C drive memory is not compromised?

    I have a partitioned laptop. Itunes automatically consigns files from my D drive to the C drive when I import them. My C drive is running out of space! What commands do I use to ensure that Itunes draws directly from my D drive for high space usesr like movies, podcasts and audiobooks ?

    Quit iTunes.
    Copy the iTunes Folder to the D drive, leave a copy on the C drive.
    Then open the XML file in the C drive in the iTunes folder with a Text editor with "Find and Replace" ability.
    Correct all the partial pathnames so it matches the new location where the iTunes Folder is now.
    Example:
    Find: C:\Windows\Users\Johnny\Music\iTunesFolder...   to
    Replace: D\\Music\iTunesFolder....
    Quit iTunes and transfer all the folders out of the iTunes Folder on C except the two single files, including the XML you edited.
    Start iTunes and click on one song you have but dislike, if it plays your fine. Leave the C/iTunes folders alone to make sure it works for all your content, then finally back it up or delete it to make room on C. Do a Windows defrag on C for increased performance.
    If you get a Explanation Point in iTunes, it didn't find the file and you didn't correct the pathnames correctly..

  • Deleting photos and audiobooks from iphone

    How do I delete photos and audiobooks from my iphone? How do I see how much memory I have left?

    By not syncing them on next sync.
    To see what is available, go to Settings, General, then About.
    Or plug into iTunes.

  • Can i send music and audiobook to an ipod without syncing?

    I am wanting to get my newly blind grandmother, who lives across the country from me, an ipod so she can listen to music and audiobooks. Her facility caregivers can start and stop the music and books, but there is no way to sync the ipod to upload new material after I send it to her. I will upload music initially. But after it's with her is there a way I can a) send new music and b) more importantly, get her access to books?? e.g. If I used the audible.com app, will it magically send the books to her ipod without plugging into a computer (like the kindle does?). Any other ideas??
    Thanks.

    - You can purchase and redownload audio.com books on the iPod..  Thus you know the username and password for the account you can purchase them on a computer and or other place and she or someone else can redownload it on her iPod. The audio.com books will show on her device (if signed into the account tht purchased them) so it is easy to redownload.

    - Music is harder. To get music into the iPod's music app you either have to sync (via USB or wif (have to be on the same network so you can't do it remotely) or purchase the music from iTunes. If y ouse the same iTunes account, she can redownload iTunes purchases.

  • HT1923 When I uninstall i-Tunes, won't I lose all my music, and audiobooks on the computer?

    When I uninstall i-Tunes, won't I lost all my music and audiobooks from the computer?

    it depends how you uninstall it.  If you delete the whole iTunes directory in ~/Music containing your music and audiobooks, then yes, your files will be removed.

  • Is there a charge for re-downloading and audiobook

    Is there a charge for re-downloading and audiobook on iTunes? My second computer is an authorized iTunes Match, but it doesn't load all my audiobook. If I  download an audiobook that I already purchased via iTunes, Am I going to be charged again?
    Thanks

    Yes you will be charged again.
    Audiobooks are not mentioned as being part of icloud.

  • Double Speed Audio on podcast and audiobook ios5

    I'm getting double speed audio on podcast and audiobooks after upgrading to ios5. I restored my ipad but no luck! I have lectures and educational materials I listen to and it's driving me insane that I am unable to listen to it in a normal way. Any fix?

    iPhone 3g you say? It might be having trouble playing an Audiobook at 2x. Mine seems to run at 2x.. How's your half speed? You should try give your phone a restart... it might free a bit of memory on the ram.

  • Can the new nano iPod run podcasts and audiobooks

    I would like to buy the new iPod Nano if I can also listen to podcasts and audiobooks.  Can it do that?

    Just a quick note in addition to toyo8696's--when I sync mine, there is a Books tab that has all of my audiobooks listed so I can pick what I'd like, just as with an iPod Touch or iPhone. So I think you should be able to listen to any audiobook you'd like.
    It's a pretty neat little device!! You can also listen to the radio, which is awesome.

  • IPod nano and Audiobooks

    I own an iPod nano 4GB. I have music, Podcasts, photos and audiobooks loaded on it and have used it about a month now. Last night I purchased "A Briefer History of Time" by Stephen Hawking, downloaded it and copied it to my nano. It plays fine on my desktop but when I try to play it on teh nano the screen flashes between the two files that make up the book then jumps to the main menu. Now all the audiobooks I have purchased do the same. I have 300+ MB available on the nano, off-loaded all other audio books, performed a reset, and everything else I can think of but nothing has resolved the problem. Now I can no longer listen to any of the five audiobooks I have purchased from iTunes. Any ideas out there? It sure would be apprecaited before I decide to sell it and get a regular MP3 player. Thanks.

    It sounds like your nano is corrupted. Have you tried doing a restore on your nano using the ipod utility program? My audiobooks work fine, so hopefully a restore will work.

  • The computer I was using to sync my iPod crashed how can I transfer my music and audiobooks from the iPod to my new ipad?

    The computer I use to sync my iPod crashed. How do I transfer the music and audiobooks to my new ipad?

    - Transfer iTunes purchases to the computer by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
    - Transfer other music by using a thrird-party program like one of thos discussed here:
    Copy music
    - Connect the old iPd to the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPOd under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up.
    - Restore the new iPod from that backup. You will have to reeenter passwords since they only get restored to same device.

  • IPod Classic and Audiobooks (Audible, not MP3)

    Just curious...has anyone else noticed (and been annoyed by) the fact that Audible audiobooks are no longer accessible anywhere except the "Audiobook" menu?
    This bothers for one rather large reason...I ahve a rather large number of Audible audiobooks, and rather than scroll through Every. Single. One, I enjoyed scanning the authors and titles via the "Genre" menu. This capability, sadly, seems to have vanished from the Classic, and I assume the new Nanos as well.
    Other than making specific playlists for certain authors, anyone found a way to force the new interface to play nice with these and not separate them from the rest of your music?

    I agree there's a problem and I sure hope that Apple fixes it in the next firmware update for the Classic iPod.
    I have used every version of iPod (not nanos or whatever just iPods) and this one has definitely broken audiobook organization. On every previous model I simply went to "artists" and selected the name of the author and then had a nice list of the books (using the "album" attribute for book title) and then I could select the part of the book that I wanted to dive into which I could title using the song title attribute. I never ever found the straight audiobook listing particularly useful.
    Now I've got to use the amusing "search" mechanism or spend a bunch of time screwing around with playlists to try and put some order in the chaos that some misguided engineers have introduced.
    I can not for the life of me understand how the current audiobook category behavior ever got signed off on by QC and usability studies. The iPod Classic as it stands now is almost exclusively a music box rather than what I used to have which was a library of books. I do have music on my iPod but I rarely ever listen to it; rather, I spend hours each evening and in the early hours listening to various books some in audible.com format some that I've converted myself from CD or cassettes and so on
    This is without a doubt the most completely non-user-engineered downgrade to an otherwise sterling product line that I've ever seen.

  • What is the difference between books and audiobooks on itunes?

    On my ipod classic, I can play audiobooks but books will not even sync to my ipod. Are books only usable on other apple products?

    Rebecca18,
    Are you talking about ebooks? Ones that you read rather than listen to?  If so, then the answer is no.  Ebooks are only compatible with the iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch.

  • Missing shared music and audiobooks

    I've set my mac to share my music library, with the share entire library box checked. None of the macs that access this share can see my audiobooks – two are visible but there are over forty on the source mac. Any ideas why?

    ...and does iTunes have to be running on the host Mac for other computers to see the shared library?

  • IPod Touch 2G with Firmware 3.1.2 and audiobook troubles

    I was using firmware 3.1.1, listening to an audiobook with no issues (audiobook was imported as mp3 files from multiple CD's - the media type was changed in bulk to Audiobook under the options tab). The book flowed fine from mp3 to mp3, in order.
    Then I decided to go to 3.1.2 (I also recently updated to Snow Leopard) and the play order of the parts seemed to become random. The files still show up in the audiobook section, but do not play in order, even after renaming them all.
    I tried to convert them in bunches to m4b files, and they still play out of order.
    Is this an iTunes issue, or an iPod firmware issue? Is there a way to rollback to 3.1.1? I could only find 3.1.2 in my Library>iTunes>iPod Software Updates folder.

    I have exactly the same problem although my audiobook playback was messed up by 3.1.1. Spoke to support in local store who suggested rolling back (can't do it either - also not in folder). Also suggested that way to check whether itunes or firmware was at fault was see if playback random in itunes. It isn't so I am assuming that the problem is with the firmware update. All was working fine until I installed 3.1.1 - I hoped 3.1.2 might sort the problem out but no luck. I hope Apple are taking notice of this because I am less than impressed with the accessibility of any support or even interest.

  • Books & Spoken Word and Audiobooks

    I downloaded some books on CD I have to itunes. One I converted to a "true" audiobook using instructions suggested elsewhere in the forums (what a hassle! I will probably just leave them "Books & Spoken Word" in the future). Other books I imported and left "Books & Spoken Word". Problems I'm having:
    1) The "true" audiobook appears and reappears in iTunes under Audiobooks. Even though I couldn't see it in iTunes at the time it did successfulyy sync to the iPod and I can listen to it just fine. I go back to iTunes it's there -- then it's not.
    2) Some the books on CD I loaded show up fine in iTunes and iPod but one doesn't "Italian Immersion". I see it in Genre "Books & Spoken Word" in iTUnes but it is no where to be found on the iPod.
    Thanks for any ability to demystify what's going on. It shouldn't be this inconsistent!

    As you found out, in order to be in the audio book section of the iPod it needs to be a "true" audio book.
    This is done by making it a .m4b file type. No other way.
    Once you understand how to do it, it should be fairly simple.
    Here's a link if you don't remember how or where you did it -> How do I get my audiobook to appear in the Audiobooks menu on my iPod?
