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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • New Audible purchases show in my iTunes library but my 7th generation iPod no longer syncs

    My most recent audiobook purchases show in my iTunes library. However, when I connect my iPod it shows as "connected" and I see the notification that it's syncing, which seems to take all of a nanosecond. And then nothing transfers to it.

    Hello Primelady,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    To sync your Audible audiobooks to your iPod please see this featured discussion below.

  • I recently had to get a new computer, my list of audible books is there but can't open because original file cannot be found.  how do I find them or redownload them when they are not in my purchased list anymore?

    I recently had to purchase a new computer, after doing so I no longer can open my audible books.  the list is there, but I get an error message telling me that the original file cannot be found.  How can I redownload them when they are not in my purchased list anymore when I go to the Apple Store??

    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519 - enabled with iTunes 10.3 and newer; not available in all countries; apps, books (not audiobooks), music, t.v. shows, and movies (some - not all studios have permitted this). Movies currently available in the USA only. Downloading previously purchased movies and TV shows requires iTunes 10.6 or later.  Discontinued items not available. For items not included in the iCloud list, or locations or computer systems where iCloud is not (yet?) available, you only get one download per fee paid.  Apple notes it is your responsibility to back up your purchases.
    Select the store on the left side of iTunes.
    Click on Purchased on the right side under Quick Links.
    You can re-download your available previous purchases.

  • Can't connect my Palm Zire to iTunes in order to download Audible books

    This identical question was posted last Nov 05 and did not get an answer...I am hoping I can get some help because I am very frustrated.
    I cannot get Audible for Palm (main or card) to show up under SOURCES in iTunes when I try to "enable communication" between my device and iTunes. Therefore, I can no longer drag my Audible file to my Zire 31. This happened shortly after I started using my Intel iMac G5 with Tiger. I had been transferring Audible books to my Zire 31 for at least a year on my G4 running Panther...I've redownloaded Audible for Palm and done a complete reinstall of the Palm OS, but no luck. I've contacted audible.com, but so far they haven't been able to figure it out either! They say they think it is a Tiger problem. If anyone has any ideas please HELP....I can't listen to my books anymore. Elena

    Hi! I have an iMac G5 running Tiger 10.4.6
    I own a Palm Tungsten T5 running OS 5
    I went to this link:
    http://www.audible.com/adbl/store/audibletogo.jsp?BV_UseBVCookie=Yes
    downloaded the iTunes Palm OS 5 plug-in
    deleted Audible off of my Palm
    reinstalled Audible (after the plug-in is installed, it puts Audible player in your install list on the Palm desktop) (the plug-in is for OS5 devices)
    Quit and restarted iTunes
    Ran Audible on my Palm, selected enable communications and waited! Not only did my Palm show up, but, I had my 1 GB card in a card reader and it showed up in the Sources list in iTunes, also!
    I dragged my audio book downloaded from Audible to the Card and voila! I have it!
    Hope this help!

  • Can't add audible books to iTunes 11

    I recently updated to iTunes 11 and I can no longer add audible books to my iTunes.
    When I try to drag the downloaded audiobook file to iTunes it just doesn't do anything. The blue outline on the window in iTunes lights up like I have it selected to go in, but when I let go the audiobook never appears. It does the same thing when I select the file via the Add to Library menu. There is no error, no sound, no nothing. The audiobook just doesn't show up in iTunes.
    I have redownloaded the .aa audiobook file several times with same results. I have tried downloading different audiobooks that I already own just to try those out, and when adding those .aa files, I am met with the same issue. I have tried each of the different audible formats as well to no avail.
    The audible books I already have in my iTunes work just fine. I deauthorized my audible account and reauthorized it by trying to listen to an audiobook already in iTunes and it worked fine. I have restarted my iTunes and my computer several times.
    Anybody else having this issue? Any ideas on a fix? It's a real bummer.

    I tried several times to add a new audiobook to iTunes 11 and it didn't show up.  But the next time I synched my ipod, the display showed that it was copying the book to my ipod and it's there now and now I can see my book in iTunes.  Weird, but at least I can get the book onto my ipod, which was the whole point!

  • Audible books won't sync

    Audiobooks won't sync. The Audiobooks playlist is checked on the ipad sync screen. The audiobooks playlist on itunes shows multiple audible books but the ipad says no audiobooks.
    I've synced, checked, unchecked, rechecked, multiple times.

    I'm so glad someone figured this out. It was driving me crazy. I ended up having to manually manage music and drag all my books on to the device. Initially, I tried creating an audiobook playlist of my own, and that wouldn't even show up when i tried to sync the device. Very strange.
    As an unrelated note, I'm (surprisingly) loving typing on this thing. It's much more error free than i ever thought it would be.

  • User Interface Bug? "Current Location" Display in Audible Books

    I have been an Audible audio book listener for many years on many different kinds of iPods. The iPhone is also great for this, but does introduce an interface change that I find undesirable.
    When you tap on the book cover area of an audio book (in PORTRAIT) mode while an Audible book is playing, you get a nice display of where you are currently located in the audio book file.
    However, on the iPhone, the display resulting from the foregoing method shows the current minute and second in the CHAPTER of the audiobook (i.e., a subdivision of the audio book file)--not the audio book file as a whole. This behavior is very different from that displayed on iPods. Thus, I need to remember that I am in Chapter 4 of Part 2 of "The Woman in White," for example, at 31:45. I also cannot tell by glancing at the readout how many minutes are left in the entire file; I can only tell how many minutes are left in the current chapter.
    Does anyone else find this to be less user friendly than the standard iPod interface showing the current location in Audible books?

    Yes, the "Pagination Display Position" lets you control where the pagination shows up. So you could put it top left, top right, bottom left, bottom right. IMHO there are pros and cons to each position.

  • Ipod touch playing audible books at an accelerated speed

    My ipod touch is playing my audible books at an accelerated speed.  My music seems to be fine, so just the books

    When you are listening to an Audible book, if it shows the progression bar at the top, you will have three buttons under it. On the left is two arrows (repeat). Center is a circled arrow (go back x seconds). On the right is a square with a number in it. (Speed) There are three speeds, 1/2x, x1 & x2. When playing at normal speed, the button will be white, x2 and 1/2x it will be blue. Touch it until it says 1.
    If you don't see the progression bar and buttons, touch the screen anywhere and they will come on. Then you will be able to see what I mean.
    I hope this helped. I love my Audible Books. So much so, in fact, I have a 64GB Touch with only my Audible books on it.

    You have no choice but to lose your data back to the last backup you made.
    Here's how to do the recovery.  Note you may have to try to get into recovery mode more than once to succeed:

    I'm sure next time, you'll be more vigilant about keeping current backups.

  • I bought an iPhone 4S last year. Today was the 5th time that one of my Audible books was suddenly cut off 3/4 into the book.The solutions offered to correct the problem did not work. Next phone won't be an iPhone. And books will go on different devices.

    Does anybody else have problems with Audible books being cut off in mid-listening, and none of the solutions suggested comes even close to being applicable? It's my 5th time in a year. And I've had it. The interruptions and consequent time consuming attempts to find a solution, and once I do, again spending way too much time finding the place in the book, where I was so rudely interrupted have pushed my patience to the limit. I downloaded my books on different devices, and use my iPhone for calls and texting. Once it's time to get a new Smartphone I'll stay far, far away from any Apple product. I don't care to waste time to get my smartphone to do what it is supposed and offering to do. And I am really getting ****** of when I am driving in the middle of nowhere, listening to a good book and Apple decides that that would be a good time to put a stop to that. Mostly I wanted to get a response from Apple Support, and am not sure how I was channeled into an Apple Support Community (what a ridiculous term!). My problem is with Apple itself. But not for long anymore......

    Anything?
