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.

Audible books and bookmarks on shuffle

i have an 11 hour book, that is broken up into two blocks of audio. surely there is a way that i can navigate thru chapters or just move more quickly to find the spot i was listening to while on the computer. is there a way to get thru a large file like that more quickly? makes me almost think that downloading to CD,then loading back onto shuffle from the 10 CDs would be more versatile. now how smart would that be?? thoughts anyone?? thanks.

Ron,
What works for me is to download from Audible.com using only Format 3. Then load the book onto the Shuffle along with at least one song. With the Shuffle not plugged in, double-click the book -- a play bar will appear at the top of the iTunes screen. With your computer's sound ON, move the slider along the play bar until you hear the spot in the book you'd like to bookmark. Pause the book, and then double-click on the song -- let it play for a few seconds and then pause it. Now plug in your Shuffle. iTunes will update it with the new bookmark. When iTunes says it's OK to disconnect your Shuffle, close iTunes and unplug your Shuffle. Your Shuffle should start playing your book from the point you bookmarked (or close to it -- mine sometimes starts a little further into the book and I have to fast reverse to the exact point I want). This method sure beats burning a bunch of CDs.

My hard drive crashed. I regularly duplicated it to an external hard drive - how do I recover my library, audible books and podcasts?

my hard drive crashed. I regularly duplicated it to an external hard drive. So can do I find the files I need to recover my music library, audible books and podcasts to my new hard drive?

Restore the iTunes folder from <User's Music> in the backup to <User's Music> in the rebuilt computer, install iTunes. Job done.

Does anyone know how to reload Java SE 6 back into Lion until Apple and Oracle get it together?

See the following, with all of its caveats:

For what it's worth, I am not using this method, nor am I re-enabling Java until Oracle comes out with a fix. I also won't be available to advise you on troubleshooting this method.

Hi Floodzer,
To start your troubleshooting process, I recommend going throught the following steps from the iPad: Basic troubleshooting article:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3274
Follow these steps, testing after each:
Turn the iPad off and turn it on again. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button on top of iPad for a few seconds, until a red slider appears. Then slide the slider. Then press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset iPad. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
Cheers,
David

Transfering books and music

I have 3 computers, a Mac Book Pro, and two PCs for work, one of which I own. All 3 are authorized. How do I move music and my audio book between computers without paying twice for the same book and / or song?

Burn them to a CD/DVD, copy them to an external hard drive, copy them to a USB "thumb" drive, transfer them over the network (if the computers are all on the same network). Basically, you transfer the files just like you would any other files. When you get them to the new computer, just add them to your iTunes library.

Book and music syncing

I have a new iPhone 4 and an iPad and I want to sync my purchased books (and bookmarks) from the iPad to the iPhone via iTunes and my MBP. But this seems to be only possible if I also automatically sync music and videos. Is there a way to manually manage music and videos but sync books?
As soon as I click on 'sync books' in the Books tab it deletes all the music and videos from my iPhone or iPad (and manually 'manage music and videos' in the summary gets unchecked). If I reselect 'manually manage music and videos', 'sync books' gets automatically unchecked and during the next sync all my books get deleted. Very annoying!

I have the latest software on iPad 2 plus iPhone but my iBooks don't sync can anyone please advise my other info does sync. Thank you

How do I upload audio books and music at the same time

I like listening to Audio Books as well as music but everytime I upload any music it deletes the audio books and when I upload audio books it deletes the music. How do I keep both on my iPhone without the other being deleted.
Cheers

Thats what I was doing wrong. Both music and books were ticked but I wasn't clicking on the books tab and ticking what I wanted to upload there.
All I need to do now is work out why iTunes stops working when I start typing to submit details gracenote.
Thanks

Audible Books and Compatibility Across Z

If I subscribe to Audible for books. Can I download and pay for Audible books once. But place the
same book on my sweetie's Zen V Plus and my Zen?

I am sure you can: I own three ZENs and a ZEN V plus and put my Audible books onto whichever player I wish to use. However, you will have to "register" the various players with Audible and the Audible manager. If you find that too complicated, then do as I do and save the books to your computer and then copy it to whichever player you want. Enjoy your books!

Go to the iTunes Store, log into your account, and click the Purchases link under the Quick Links. From there you should be able to re-download some or all of your purchased content. Note that not all content has been licensed for re-downloading in all countries at this time. You can see what content you can download here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5085
You can also re-download content using an iOS device.
For full instructions, see:

Or you can just copy the iTunes library from your old computer to your new one, if you still have the old computer and it's in working order.

How can I transfer some books and music from one ipad to another without having to sync and erase the lot?

I am trying to transfer some music and books from my ipad to my mothers ipad. I am using a laptop that I have had to install itunes onto. When I sselect the music I want to put onto my mothers ipad I get the message 'are you sure want to sync this ipad to this computer as it will erase all date on the ipad and replace it with this'...well something to that effect anyway.
When I plug my ipad into it it also states that syncing will erase all data and replace it with what is on itunes as my ipad is linked to another computer (im in Hobart and my usual computer is in brisbane)
Is there a simple way for me to add music and books on a usb stick to mothers ipad without having to lose everything taht she currently has on there?
Any advice is greatly appreciated
Cheers

Backup with this User Tip, restore the library to the new computer using the same tool, keep the backup up-to-date in future. Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer need to access protected content on it.
As to your issues with compilations albums select all the tracks, set the Album Artist to Various Artists and on the options tab set Part of a compilation to Yes. See Grouping tracks into albums for details.
