Add folder to Audiobooks section of iTunes library -- how?

I have some MP3 audiobooks I've downloaded to folders on my hard drive, and I want to add these folders to the "Audiobooks" section of my iTunes library. But when I use the File>Add Folder to Library command to do this, the files end up in the Music section of the library. And once in Music, I can't find a way to move them to Audiobooks. Is there a way to get these MP3s into the Audiobook section?

Help I am trying to do the same thing I think. I have downloaded an audio book from cd and it has ended up in my music file, and I cant move it. I have tried the get info bit but every time I change it to and audio book and click ok, when I go back in it has gone back to music.

Hi there Br0x,
You may want to try rebuilding the iTunes library as an initial troubleshooting step. Take a look at the article below for more information.

You might still be able to recover them using one of the methods discussed in this older thread, but many of them require a full functional, noncorrupted iPod filesystem in order to work properly.

Songs purchased from MusicMatch are in WMA format, and are protected using a Microsoft DRM scheme. Songs purchased from iTunes are in AAC format, and are protected using an Apple DRM scheme. Presently, neither player can play songs purchased from the other.

HT1386 how do I add a playlist from my desktop iTunes library to my ipod touch 5th g

Is it possible to add a playlist from my desktop iTunes library to my ipod touch 5th generation. I've tried dragging it but this won't work - it seems that I have to put the playlist in the box and then press autofill which then means the songs in the playlist now become part pf the library on my ipod touch and I have to make up the playlist again on my ipod touch!
With the older ipods it was possible to drag a playlist directly onto them.
Am I missing something?

If you want to be able to just drag playlists or tracks to the iPod from iTunes, you need to turn on manual management in the Summary tab, and my guess is that this is off. Otherwise, set the playlist to sync in the Music tab.
Regards.

Quit iTunes, start it up again holding down the option key on your keyboard. When presented with the choices, select your original library.

my computer crashed and had to be restored to factory settings losing ituness collection of music. My ipad has my itunes library. how do i get the music collection from the ipad to the computer?

You should be able to copy iTunes purchases over to your computer's iTunes via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases. For music from other sources (e.g. copied from CDs) you will need a third-party program to copy them back from your iPad - there are some listed half-way down this page which should work : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

I accidentally erased music somehow from my itunes library, how can i get it back?

i accidentally erased music somehow from my itunes library, how can i get it back? I'm not sure how I did it, but I do know something has been wierd ever since. i remember using it and arranging songs, and then, bing! Songs were missing. Please help!
Not quite sure what info you need to answer this. I dont have all my music synced to icloud unfortunately...at least not that i'm aware of.

You either have an incredibly complex computer setup or I think you are confusing terminology here. If you have iTunes set to share your library with others in your iTunes preferences then other computers in the area will see it as an item when they are running their iTunes and have it set to check for shared libraries. Your husband is probably seeing this when running iTunes on his computer. You can disable this sharing on your computer and/or he can set his not to pick up shared libraries.
By the way, an iTunes account is something you log into when you want to buy something from Apple. On your computer it is simply your iTunes collection or your iTunes application. So you need to turn off sharing in your iTunes application preferences.
Your husband is seeing "his" iTunes collection when running iTunes, but it is possible he doesn't have anything in it if it is a brand new computer.
