Audible Books & Books Folder

I am looking for a way to download and listen to audio book files on the PB. Specifically, files from Audible.com.
The PB does not seem to recognize the file when attempting to Sync via Desktop Manager from iTunes.
I did move the file to the PB's "Books" Folder when sync'd to my pc, but I am unable to locate this "Books" folder via the PB.
Thoughts?

I'm a big fan of Audible as well and you usually can't listen to their audio books unless they have created an app that allows it. I have tried a few things but have been unable to figure a way thus far to make it work.
Have you contacted Audible yet to ask them if they plan to support the Playbook? All of us who want to see it happen should let them know..

How do I add Audible audio books to my library

I am about to throw this Mac computer into the trash. Can someone please tell me how to get this mac to add Audible audio books to the Itunes library, so that I can sync (another matter) to iphone and ipad?

I've found that iTunes no longer allows Audible files to be added to the iTunes library.
I'm on a Mac (OSx 10.9), and am running the latest version of iTunes (11.1.5).
First of all, there's no longer a "Books" category in iTunes, but there is an "Audiobooks" category. My preferences are set to show that category.
When I first tried to add my Audible books to iTunes, I had no audiobooks in my library. What showed when I was in the Audiobooks view was a sort of welcome, you have no audiobooks, page with a button to download audiobooks from the App Store.
I tried importing my Audible books via drap and drop and File-> Add to Library. I was able to select the files, but the Audiobooks welcome view didn't change.
I thought perhaps iTunes had a bug (or design) to only show the list of files when there was an App Store-purchased audiobook. So I bought an audiobook from iTunes. I was now able to see this audiobook, and proceeded to add my Audible file to the iTunes library as well. The Audible books again did not show up in my audiobook library.
Similarly, I've tried opening the .aa Audible file directly from Finder. It launches iTunes, but nothing happens.
There was another post about iTunes Match causing an issue, but I'm not subscribed to iTunes Match. https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3875987
So I'm out of ideas, and pretty fed up. Does anyone have a new way to fix this? Jimzgoldfinch method is not working. Books are .aa files

Address Book "images" folder is 64GB

Hi..
I am hoping someone can assist me. The "images" folder in "user\Application Support\Address Book\" is 64GB and contains over a million items. All items are photos with random names like "41464863-F2BB-4BF2-9494-8161D45F0312.jpeg". (Not all item have the jpeg suffix.
Looking through the console messages I have identified that the items are created when I sync
8/01/10 8:35:15 AM SyncServer[809] [110f20] |SyncManager|Warning| client com.apple.isyncDU.ipod.A270017485642 not added to plan because it isn't syncing any entities in the plan

If anyone can shed any light as to how I stop this issue it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Alex

The "random" names are UUIDs for the person they are attached to.
I'm not sure how to fix it, but I would consider [resetting sync services|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1627].

Address Book Images Folder = 3 gigs and 30,000 files

Can anyone tell me why Address Book's images folder (Library/Application Support/Address Book/Images) gets to take up 3 gigs of space and contain more than 30,000 files? I like to have photos for people and companies in my address book, but I can't imagine why an address book with 354 cards would have a supporting images folder that friggin huge. Is this just bad programming on Apple's part? Using Quicklook, I can see that there are several images that are duplicated with different file names. What actions generate these duplicates? Is there a way to clean up this folder without completely dumping the contents?

HI Paul,
There's no way that is right.
Your profile indicates you are running 10.4.8 but you posted in the 10.6 Snow Leopard forum? If you have updated to 10.6 please click My Settings on the right side of this page and update your profile. Thanks. (iMac G5... PowerPC)?
Unless you have copy/pasted information for Address Book and contact information from the internet or e-mail, that's the only way I can think that could happen.
I don't see why you can't delete those images if they aren't in use.
If you are running 10.4, try installing the 10.4.11 combo update.
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/macosx_updates/macosx10411comboupdat eppc.html
As with any update, repair disk permissions.
Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.

Address Book - smart folder - need to delete

I have created a smart folder that for some reson lock up my Address Book when ever I click on it (applicaton not responding and have to force quit). How can I delete the the smart folder in question. If I click on it the program immediately freezes.
I do have several days of time machine backups I could retore from. I am also synced to mobil me and my iphone.
What and where is the file I would need to replace to remove the last added smart folder?
Thanks,

You might want to try:
Back up your address book (File -> Export)
exiting the Address Book
Going to your Library/Application Support/AddressBook directory (in Finder, Go -> Go to folder -> ~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook
Moving the AddressBook-v22 to your desktop
Open the Metadata directory
Use the finder's search feature to search in that directory for "Group"
You should find files with names that contain "ABSmartGroup" - move these to your desktop
Restart Address Book
That should remove them, but don't hold me to it (make sure you have backups). This is more mucking with the Address Book than I'd like to do. If the Address Book starts acting weird, you can move these files back to the original location.

Play position in audible audio books not syncing back from iPhone to iTunes

Hi everybody. I hope I don't open a redundant thread, but i couldn't find one that has this topic.
Anyway, I am syncing some audio books from audible to my iPhone. When i start playing them on the phone, the play position is in sync to the position in iTunes. Now let's say i listen one hour on the phone and then sync again.
Contrary to what i expected, the further advanced play position from the phone is NOT synced back to iTunes but the old position from iTunes is synced again to the phone. So the next time I access the audio book on the phone I start where i started in the first place.
Is this a bug or have I missed some setting wheresoever?
Thanks for any suggestions!

I have seen others complain about it. For me I never listen via PC (only phone) so I haven't had an issue yet. Though I do when I stop listening look at the time and chapter/file I am at and go over to Notes and jot it down. Due to reboots or other issues, it has lost where I was but with my notes, I can quickly get back.

Mac Pro wont book, getting folder with flashing question mark icon

I opened up Disk Utility but it only shows one of my two hard drives. I'm guessing it's toast. But before I go buy a new one, is there any value in going into an apple store and see what they can do?

I have the same problem with my brand new Mac Pro. from the start, upon bootup, i see a flashing folder with a question mark. I've already sent this Mac back for service. I believe the problem may have something to do with the airport card i had installed. something about the OS trying to find the wireless network...i'm not savy at this, by any means and hope we both resolve this issue. Do you an airport card installed?
I guess I'll be calling tech support again.

The latest version of Firefox dropped a valuable book mark folder

Recently the Firefox browser has forced 2 upgrades. After the most recent upgrade I am no longer able to see an important bookmark folder.
This IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE!!
I have spent years assembling various bookmarks that are important to my business and to have released a new upgrade that caused the loss of this information is incredible!
I charge $150/hr for my time, so who should I send the bill to for the dozens of hours that it will take me to rebuilt this bookmark file???
== Firefox version ==
20100722 Firefox/3.6.8 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)

You can have a backup of your bookmarks and other personal data if you consider them important (invaluable).

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.

Warning: Sever Bug with Audible Books Content

After hours of testing, restoring, and even exchanging my Nano 3 (8GB) I have isolated a severe, repeatable bug not fixed in 1.01. Audiobooks bought from Audible directly cause the system to become progressively more unstable to the point that it becomes hard to connect it via USB - it stops behaving like a USB storage device, although it still shows up in the USB device tree. I suspect the new database structure gets corrupted with whatever DRM info is copied into it.
After adding Audible Audio books, the system is unable to play music, videos etc., even before even playing an Audiobook. After the 1.01 upgrade, I was able to play the section of a book, but the behavior started shortly.
After crashing the connection issues started. Even restarting the system did not help. I was able to reconnect by switching to another Mac, and also by restarting the Mac and forcing a Nano reboot.
After removal of Audible files, normal behavior has returned.

I have a lot of audiobooks from Audible and I'm having no problem whatsoever. After reading this forum, I guess I'm really lucky. Other than the irritating issues with Coverflow, I have had 0 (zero) problems.

Audible books from iTMS

If you purchase an Audible.com book from the iTMS is it save in Audible's .aa format or Apple protected format?
If it's in .aa format you should be able to use it on any device. If not then you could only use it on Apple's devices.

The size of the files will vary depending on the length of the book.
Here are some example sizes:
Book 1: split into 4 separate files of 2 to 2.5 hours each. The file sizes vary from 29 to 36 MB.
Book 2: split into 3 files of 2.25 to 2.5 hours each. The file sizes vary from 31 to 35 MB.
