Audio Book Folder

I accidentally deleted my AudioBook folder on the main menu of my ipod. Is there anyway to get it back besides just creating a playlist titled AudioBooks?
Thank you

When I go to setting-audiobooks, slower normal and faster just come up not On or Off. If anyone knows how to fix this please reply!!

  • How to put audio book under the audio book folder int he ipod nano

    I am having trouble putting my audio book under the audio book folder in the ipod nano.
    Every time i ask the ipod to play all musics, its plays all including all audio book. I ' d like to have it play book only when i ask for it.
    Can someone show me how to fix this?
    Thanks

    Hello Clifforce,
    And welcome to Apple Discussions!
    There are two things you could do here. First, change the *Media Type* of the audiobook tracks in iTunes to "Audiobook" via the "Get Info" screen under the Options tab.
    Under this same tab, you could also tick the "Skip when Shuffling" option for these tracks. When you have finished, sync the updated changes to your iPod.

  • Loaded an audio book into music folder, can I put it into audio book folder

    Loaded an audio book into music folder, can I put it into audio book folder

    The answer from Zevoneer is only partially correct. *THERE IS A GLITCH IN iTUNES PROGRAMMING* that will make your book impossible to listen to if you change it from Music mode to Audio book mode through Options "Media Kind". This is what happens. Under iTunes Preferences, under Advanced, there is a box that says "Keep iTunes Music folder organized". When checked, this "Places files into album and artist folders, and names the files based on the disc number, track number, and the song title." So when you keep a book in the Music section, it stays organized.
    HOWEVER, if you change that book to "Audio book" mode, all those files get mixed up. The "Audio book" section does not list Disc numbers (equivalent to Albums); it ONLY lists tracks. If a book has tracks labeled, for instance "The Bell Jar 2a", "The Bell Jar 2b" etc., then the book will play correctly. BUT if the book has cuts labeled "Track 1", Track 2", etc. then you will end up listening to Disc 1, Track 1 followed by Disc 2, Track 1, etc.. In other words, the books tracks end up completely jumbled, not a great way to follow a story! *APPLE, YOU NEED TO FIX THIS!!!* Asking us to label each track separately is inefficient and silly, when all you need to do is to get iTunes to recognize the Disc numbers, just as it does in Music mode.

  • Audio books not appearing in iPod list

    I have an 80gb 5g.
    I recently purchased an audio book from iTunes and downloaded to my library. The book appears in the directory tree list under audiobooks and when I sync the ipod the audiobook item is also in the directory tree under "Devices".
    However the Audiobook tab does not appear in the Summary on the RH window in iTunes and does not appear on the iPod as a heading "Audiobooks" To access the audiobook I have to scroll down the "artists" list - I find this rather strange.
    Anyone having the same problem - or am I missing something?

    I will go look to see if my audio book shows up like yours did.
    My issue sounds similar. I bought a book from itunes and downloaded it. I can listen to it on my laptop without an issue. When I move it to my 30G Video Ipod, it shows up in the AudioBook folder when I view that folder via the computer. However, when I disconnect the Ipod from the laptop, the audio book does not appear in the audio book folder.

  • Changes to audio book import / general iPod accessibility

    I find it really frustrating that I had to pay for 3rd party software to be able to easily put CDs of audio books into the Audio Books folder of iTunes and my iPod. Why doesn't Apple address this issue in their next iTunes update?

    PS. Are there any products that would make an iPod more accessible to visually impaired people, perhaps by speaking the names of albums etc as you scroll down?

  • How can I transfer mp3 audio books to SE c510 via (Media Go)?

    First of all, I converted the audio book .mp3 file to .m4b, then went to Media Go and transferred the converted file with that program. Then, I unplugged the phone from my PC and went to Media---Music---Audio Books in my c510, but there was no audio book added. Also tried to turn the audio book on via "File Manager", and I noticed that the Media Go program had converted the file to .aac , so I when I had tried to play the file, got a message "Playback failed".
    Can anyone tell me where I do wrong , how to transfer that kind of files to my mobile properly?! Thanks in advance!

    I was researching the software and I see that you only have two audio file type options: mp3 and AAC.
    If you want to transfer m4b, then you will need to just to it using My Computer, selecting the Phone Card (which has its own drive letter) and then put them in the Audio books folder.
    You can change the default file type that MediaGo transfers from AAC to mp3 (if the original file type is fine with you) by selecting Tools > Preferences > Devices > highlight the device and select Properties and then in Media Format you have the option to change the type of file that will be transferred.

  • Playing Audio Books On My Video iPod

    I have a new 80 gig video ipod. I puchased an audio book from iTunes. The book downloaded to my computer just fine and I can play the book on my computer. File is located in the Audio Book folder and is in the M4B format.
    The book is on my iPod, located in the Audio Book folder. When I select the file to play, it shows that it is playing for about 3 seconds and then goes back to the main menu. It never starts playng.
    Further, whenever I sync my computer and iPod, the play count keeps going up. It now says that I have played the file over 30 times when in fact, I haven't heard one word of it.
    I hope someone can help.

    I posted about this problem yesterday as I was having the same problem. I contacted iTunes customer service using their email form on that page. I heard back from them in about 10 hours. They authorized me to download the book again. It plays like a charm now.
    Apple has superb customer service. I was treated with courtesy and promptly each time I contacted them about this problem and a couple of more issues that were my stupidity.
    I'm very pleased with Apple! !

  • Need help with audio books

    i have a few audio books on cd, when i rip them to itunes i am unable to catagorize them as an audio book. thus they show up under music in my ipod and the audio book folder remains empty. i tried creating a genre for audio books but that still leaves them listed under music. any one know how to fix that?

    Only audiobooks from ITMS, audible.com and AAC files with m4b extensions (applescripts for mac) show up in audiobook main menu, skip in main menu shuffle, and allow faster/slower/normal playback speed.

  • Audio books and no shuffle

    Couple of easy how to use questions:
    1: My iPod has more podcast and audio book then music. Problem is when I drag an audio book to the iPod it thinks it's music and I get random chapters when listion to the "shuffle songs" feature. Isn't there a way to mark an file to not be included in the shuffle songs?
    2: When listioning to my audio books I have a hard time listioning to each champter in order. How do I listion to an artist in order and still keep my music shuffled?
    3: When I upgraded iTunes 7.0.2 I noticed it added an audio book folder to my iTune and my iPod, but I can't drag anything to that folder.
    4: Is there a way to re-order the menus on my iPod? I really think the podcast section should be on the first menu, NOT under the music section.
    If anybody and answer one or all I'd be most gratful. Thanks.

    10 after 1 is because of the sorting used. Change the 1 through 9 to be 01, 02, 03.

  • How do I get 'all' my audio books into the Audiobook folder?

    Hi, I'm an iTunes newbie (new touch) and am trying to get to grips with some of the quirks of iTunes.
    I have some audio books I purchased from Audible.co.uk and when imported into iTunes these go into the Audiobooks folder in the iTunes Library.
    However, I also have several audio books I have converted from CD's into MP3. When I import these into iTunes, they always end up in the music folder of the Library. No amount of dragging and dropping or searching of the 'preferences' have allowed me to move these files into the Audiobook folder. Can this be done in iTunes?
    Any help greatly received.
    Regards,
    Glenn

    If you are going to do it this way, I would suggest a SmartPlaylist.
    Highlight all of your audiobooks, go to file, then get info. Now, pick a section to edit (Comments, grouping or genre are the best choices) and enter a tag such as "Audiobook".
    Now, create a SmartPlaylist to only show anything with that particular tag.
    For example, "Genre contains audiobook". Only files with Audiobook will show up.
    Forgive me if you knew how to do this, but I figured as a new user this might be helpful.

  • My audio books that were bought through Itunes on my Iphone do not show up on my Itunes account.

    I bought audio books on my iphone, but they do not show up on my itunes account on my computer.  The books I purchased through the computer show up on my itunes account.  My phone is at it's max and I need to remove these books, but do not want to lose them.  Thank you for your assistance.

    This isn't completely coherent so I am not sure what is wrong other than some (al?) of your tracks have broken links.
    If you are browsing through iTunes you are not looking at files you are looking at data entries that point to files, with those locations being incorrect right now. 
    There isn't a file called iTunes media, there is a folder that should be in your iTunes folder called that.
    You mention something about external drives. I presume one is for your Time Machine backup but is the other one used for iTunes?  If so, what do you keep there?

  • I have audio books on my ipod, but when I hook it up to my computer they don't show up so I can't take them off or anything.  Now I am out of space.  How do I get them to show up on the itunes sync screens?

    I have audio books that are on my ipod touch, but when I hook it up to my computer to make changes they don't show up.  I can't add new music, because it keeps telling me I am out of room.  When I go to the book tab at the top it doesn't show any so I can't take them off.  How do I get them to show up?

    iDevices are not and have never been backup devices.
    Authorizing a computer does not cause media to magically appear.
    Media is only where the user puts it.
    Copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the old computer to the new computer.
