Audible book showing up in music playlist

I downloaded audible books and they correctly showed up in the audiobook file. However, they are showing up in my 'Songs' list on my Ipod. When I connect my ipod to my Mac/Itunes, it does not show the audio book in the wrong place but if I am playing songs on Ipod, when it comes to the audio book, it starts playing the book. I want to know how to get the audiobook out of the song list.

Thanks for that! Shame there isn't also an option to label TV shows as TV shows because I've been converting some Elgato EyeTV recordings for the iPod.

Video playlists show up in music playlists!

I originally had the problem where my music playlists were showing up in my video playlists section of the ipod along with my 2 video playlists (movies and tv shows). I have finally solved THAT issue by putting 'tv shows' or 'movies' in the comments section of all my videos, then went to my smart music playlists and put the following condition: "comment does not include 'tv shows' or 'movies'). Boom, this keeps my music playlists out of my video playlists and now my video playlists only have 'tv shows' and 'movies.'
HOWEVER, my 2 video playlists are showing up in my MUSIC playlists now, with nothing in the playlist, just the names of them (tv shows and movies). This is ANNOYING!
i have gone to itunes ipod preferences and excluded these 2 playlists from the music playlist sync, but there's STILL showing up on the ipod.
Can anyone help?

Please help!

Audible books showing as uknown

The audible books in my library that contain more the one book by an author show up as unknown in iTunes. I went to Audible to redownload but all the older titles are missing from my library on Audible as well. Has something changed that I am unaware of with the agreement with iTunes and Audible to cause this condition?

What do you mean that they 'show up as unknown in iTunes' ?
Who did you buy the audiobooks from, the iTunes store or direct from audible.com ? Any that you buy from iTunes are a one-time only download, they won't show on your iTunes account nor audible account for redownloading. If you bought them direct from audible.com and they aren't showing for redownloading on their website then you should contact audible

Photo slideshow doesnt show all my music playlists

I was setting up my apple tv to strem a phot slide show. When I select default music it goes to a screen that allows you to pick the playlist you want. Not all of my playlists show up on this screen. I have 8 playlists in itunes but only 6 show up in apple tv. Any ideas?

Maybe it's because you are in the UK but since I have had a few ipod products and therefore been using iTunes for a few years my "defaults" are not the same as yours. For example, the "defaults" in my iTunes (the ones that are there if my nano is plugged in or not) were "Recently Added" & "Music Videos". And yes, they are purple in color because Smart Playlists are purple (this is also true for the ones you create. It is the regular playlists that you create that are blue in color). Now, that we have just what you are referring to cleared, these defaults you are referring to, the ones that were there automatically when you first loaded iTunes will not be on your iPod unless you put them there. You can drag the playlist to your ipod and then they will be there. Other than that they will not automatically be there and therefore will not automatically sync. Now since you have not stated whether you actually put those defaults on your ipod in the first place or if you are saying they just didn't automatically go on the ipod my response above was given. Sorry if you feel like my asking for clarification is something I shouldn't need to do but if I can't get a clear picture of what you are saying then I can't begin to attempt to offer help. If this is something that you do not agree with then my apologies. Hopefully someone else will be willing to come in and help you more if my attempt was useless.
Good luck

Audible Books not showing in playlist

I have my Audible books synched up in my iPad. When I go to the iPod application and select "Audiobooks" it shows a book icon that says "Audible (5 Books)" but when I click on this icon the list appears empty.
The only way I can play the books is going through the iPad search and typing a part of the title. I am then able to play it, although it still will not show in the library. I can not use the search function within the library, it has to be the main iPad search.
Most of my books are using the "Enhanced" format (it is compatible since I can play them). I am also selecting specific books from the "Books" tab in iTunes. I tried choosing the option to sync all books and the only change is that the folder will show a higher number.
Any ideas on how to get the titles to show in the list.

Music Playlist shows video playlists - iPod BUG. IS IT JUST ME?

I have the 160GB ipod classic. I have several video playlists set up (to manage music videos, other movies, etc.). When I select "music" from the main menu, then select "playlists" to pull up my music playlists as set up on iTunes, I see all of my video playlists listed and they show "0 SONGS" under the playlist name, obviously because they are not supposed to have songs and only have videos. When I click on the video playlist from this menu, the ipod hangs on a white screen (forever!) until I press menu to return the music playlist menu... Is it just me or is this one of the many continued bugs that the iPod classic still has even after the 1.0.2 software update?
APPLE - PLEASE FIX THIS BUG WITH THE OTHERS AND RELEASE 1.0.3 SOFTWARE ASAP!!!

I did realize that I also have a "music videos" (smart) playlist that shows all music videos. Since these have songs in them, they are listed also...

Possible to have video playlists NOT show up in the music playlists tab?

I like how when I go to videos > video playlists, my iPod will show only the playlists that contain only movies and music videos inside.
Is it possible to have it so that the video-only playlists are parsed from the music > playlists tab? That section is cluttered enough as it is, and having empty playlists inside really doesn't help.
Also, anyone have tips for managing large amounts of songs? Since I have a lot of one-hit-wonders, the artist and album tabs has gotten populated with 1-song artists and 1-song albums, making it a pain for browsing through in search of whole albums.
Maybe I could put a symbol around the artist or album to make it higher or lower in the alphabet. From what I've seen, it goes symbols, numbers, then letters. Is there anything I can use to sort alphabetically in iTunes to be below the letter z?

I just remembered something; japanese characters (letters) are sorted by iTunes below the letter z. Accented characters (such as ö) get sorted next to their regular (o is higher than ö).
And so, I think I will go through and find all the albums and artists that only have one song to them and rename them using a japanese character so that they appear at the bottom of the album and artist lists. Should make looking through those much easier.
I would still like an answer to my first question.

HT1386 How do I transfer books already purchased from Audible, which show on iTunes, to books in my iPhone?

I bought books from Audible which show up on my iTunes on my computer. I cannot get them to sync to my iPhone.

Have you tried following Audible's instructions? If so, what happens? Do you get any error messages?

PDF books added in iTunes 11.1.3 shows up in Music Albums tab [Probably a bug]

iTunes 11.1.3 still allows you to add PDF books to library and the imported books show up in the albums view under the music selection. Seems weird, as books tab was removed from itunes. Importing 10 books results in creation of an album tab which is populated with the books added. It marks the album as unknown artist and unknown album.

Audiobooks go in Music, not ibooks. Is the book you are talking about not an audiobook but an .epub or some other format where you read text?

When you are viewing the tracks on the hard disc, did you then click on "Import CD"? This is needed to initiate the importing process that will add the tracks to your library.

Audible books and music get shuffled together

We use an iPod mini to listen to Audible books and to listen to music. The book selections are large (6 to 8 hours). When we try to shuffle songs, one of the book selections start. How can we exclude the books from the music?

Hey,
Thanks for the info, but that's not really my problem. I know how to convert CDs to iTunes m4b audiobooks; all of my audiobooks are labeled in iTunes as audiobooks. The problem is that when I put them on my Touch, it sorts them into Audible downloads and iTunes Store downloads, instead of just putting them all into the Audiobooks list. I want to see all of audiobooks in one list, without Audible having its own little folder.

HT201441 I downloaded an album on itunes and it says that it is purchased, but it on not showing up on mu music playlist. What should I do?

I downloaded an album on itunes and it says that it is purchased, but on my music playlist it does not show up. What shoud I do?

Download it to iTunes on your computer (see http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519), then sync it to your phone. Make sure the album is selected to sync to your phone before syncing. If that doesn't work, you may have to delete all the music off your phone, then sync it back from iTunes. To delete your music, go to Settings>General>Usage, wait for the apps list to open, then click Music, tap Edit, then tap next to All Music.
