Audio Book Problems...

Love the iPhone and I use the iPod function more for audiobooks than I do for music. The problem I am having is the fact that the titles are a bit long and old iPods scroll the entire title across the screen so I can verify which chapter I am on.... With the iPhone I don't have this function, and I cannot find anywhere but here to ask this particular question...
Also if I could download audio books on the wi-fi that would be great as well... Any idea?

I don't have the answer for your first quesiton, but Audio Books are not available on the WiFi store.

Keeping folders seperate? Music/Audio Books problem?

I have several Audiobooks and technical mp3's on my computer and would like to be able to play them on my Ipod mini. The problem I am having now is that when I use the shuffle feature it encorporates tracks from the audio books. Is there any way to make a seperate folder that wont be accessed by the shufle feature? Also is there a way to copy plain .mp3 files into the podcast folder? Thank you for the help.

Syncing Audio Book Problem

Hello everyone,
I downloaded an audio book to my iPhone ($9.99) and I synced my iPhone with my brother's MacBook and it deleted the audio book from my iPhone and it uploaded it to my brother's MacBook. How do I get the audio book back into my MacBook?

Burn it onto a CD.

Audio books problem

I have a i pad 2 and after downloading iso6 i can find my downloaded audio books but i am not able to listen to them????

You can basically do what you like with labels in a Get Info window. You will find labels letting you arrange, for example, by album, disc number, track number on disc, etc. You could, if you wanted to, re-set the labeling so all 6 discs appeared as one giant disc, although then you would have to re-do the track numbering to avoid duplication.
I believe if you check on the Dougscripts website there is a script to join tracks together if you are wanting to make one single file out of many small files vs. just stringing them together.

HT4528 iPhone audio book problem

How do I remove audiobooks from my iphone but not from my itunes account? My phone ran out of storage but I do not want to loose the books since i purchased them. I know it is probably easy but the new itunes is not as user friendly!

You can try to Restore the iPhone with iTunes on computer. See if better. If still problem, and there is Warranty or AppleCare, make Genius reservation and take iPhone to Apple for resolution. If no coverage, Apple does not repair the Audio components of the iPhone 4S, for $199 they will offer perfect replacement iPhone 4S exactly like yours with 90 day Warranty too.

How do I recover purchased audio books

I purchased the audio book the sum of all fears it was accidentally deleted and when I try to download it again in the purchased section of itunes only 2 of the 5 parts are available.

Hello
I solved my missing audio book problem. Here are some of the details.
The files were there on the HD but iTunes was not showing them infact there was no audio books shown. There was not even an audio book option in the iTunes window. All of my Audio books have been downloaded from the iTunes store to this machine. This is a glitch in the Leopard upgrade.
The good news is the resolution was simple enough. I had to re-authorize the iMac again and then all of the books showed back up and the audiobooks folder was visible in the iTunes window.
Researching the problem uncovered a problem that others may be having with fileformats of audiobooks that are purchased from a non itunes source or those downloaded from CD's This was not my problem since all of my books were purchased from the Apple iTunes store.

I'm having some trouble transferring audio books to my iPhone. It usually takes 3 or 4 tries to get all the parts transferred. I didn't use to have this problem - all parts would transfer in one try.

Mostly because you are not using any capital letters or paragraph returns and your post is difficult to read.

When listening to an audio book it freezes after about 10 minutes. I have done a soft reset, I have deleted the audio book and re- installed. My music plays with no problem.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Problems with audio book

I have purchased "God is Not Great" Audio Book by Peter Hitchens. This is a 4 part audiobook - each part being approx 2 hourss long. It plays fine on the computer but doesn't work at all on my iPod nano. It transfers from the computer to the nano with no problem but when I play it on the nano the screen just cycles repeatedly through the four parts in quick succession and no sound comes out.
Any help would be appreciated.

Okay, after a couple of hours scouring the net and pulling my hair out, I now have to confess that I have solved my own problem - an embarrassingly easy solution as it turns out!
I have now gone to 'settings' on my iPod and found that audiobooks was unchecked for the menu options. I simply checked it again and 'hey presto' - suddenly I can find my audiobook on the iPod.
Technologically challenged? Who me?

Is any one else having problems converting audio books in WMA format with the new v5

Is any one having trouble with audio books in WMA formatting converting with the new ios v5

Since updating to OS5 in my itouch I have lost all my library audio books. I have downloaded a couple of new library audio books. The books look like they are being loaded into my itouch but are not there. The only way I can access them is to make a playlist for each book and drag the numbered files into the playlist folder. There are a lot of problems with this method - book chapters are not in order (I have to tried to reorder them without success) and if I stop listening to a book, when it starts again it starts at the beginning of the chapter. Before OS5 I had no trouble with WMA files or anything for that matter. I hope there is a solution soon.

Audio Book Sync Problem

I'm trying to free up some space on my iTouch 32g. I have a number of Audio Books in my library and on my iTouch. If I uncheck all but one of the books in my iTunes library, I would expect after syncing to only have that one book on my iTouch. The problem is that when I check all of the books in the library are still on the iTouch. How can I have only the one book that I want, without deleting the other books from the iTunes library?

Don't know if it works the same as the iPod but for me, I'm on manual sync. When I attach my iPod to my computer I can hi-lite the books I want deleted and then right-click and hit delete. After I've disonnected my iPod the books are still in my library on my computer. If I choose I can delete any of the ones I want. If it's like the iPod once you're Pod is connected you can click on each Tab and either check off "auto sync" or "manual sync". So hopefully the iTouch works similar to the iPod.

Problem with MP3 audio books - truncating

My shuffle is truncating the end of each part (track?) of my MP3 audio books. It loses the last one or two sentences. Is there something I can do to fix this?
I'm using the OverDrive Media Console to borrow books from the library. I have no problem with WMA format books (they appear as audiobooks in the shuffle listing). The MP3 books show up as "Music".
I'm manually managing music, which is required to transfer audio from OverDrive to my shuffle.
MC754LL/A iPod shuffle 2 GB
Model A1373
software version is 1.0.1

I use "My Media Mall" (http://www.mymediamall.net) to check out audio books from the library. They come in 2 formats - mp3 & WMA. When I check out a book it downloads to OverDrive Media Console. Then in OverDrive I transfer the book to my shuffle (through the manually mange the storage option). If I then start itunes, I can see what's been downloaded and what all the properties are. By default WMA books are loaded as audiobooks and there is an automatic play list created. The mp3 books are loaded, by default, into the music section.
Per your original suggestion, I converted the "music" attribute to an "audiobook" attribute, which automatically move the files and created a playlist for the book. It did not stop the truncation problem. I then converted the book back to music, and selected the "gapless album" feature. This has significantly reduced the amount of truncation so that it's gone from a couple of sentences to less than a full sentence.
If I listen to the book on my computer (windows) through itunes, there are no gaps, and no problem automatically finding the next part to play.
FYI - each audiobook is made of several parts (usually 8 - 11 for the books I listen to). Each part contains multiple chapters. Some books only break parts over a chapter break, others seem to divide the parts into semi-equal sizes. If in the shuffle I "skip to next track", it starts the next part. The voice-over feature on the shuffle announces each playlist (eg. book1, book2) and then each individual part (book1 part 01, book2 part 02, etc.). Usually when I start a book, I use the voice-over to find the playlist instead of locating a specific part. If I've been listening to the book via itunes, then I'll have to step through the playlist until the second portion where it lists the individual portions.

HT201272 My audio books are not showing up in purchase history, but everything else is okay... is anyone having the same problem?

My audio books are not showing up in purchase history, but everything else is okay... is anyone having the same problem? I have already authorised my new computer and I am currently downloading my purchased music and videos however the books (audiobooks) are not showing for download.
Hope someone can help!

"My audio books are not showing up in purchase history,"
That is correct. You cannot redownload audiobooks.
" is anyone having the same problem?"
Everyone and it is not a problem. Audiobooks simply are not available for redownload.

Audio book sorting problem

Hi,
whilst everything looks just right within iTunes, my Nano (3rd gen.) won't show the books, then chapters.
The Nano will only show all chapters of all books sorted alphabetically.
Any ideas ?
Thanks in advance,
Barb

I am having the same problem. Have you found a solution yet?
So I have a problem with audio book sorting. ui figured out how to get the audio books designated as audiobooks. However There are about 6 cd's on this particular book. I can sort the tracks via name and they list correctly chapter 1a,1b etc. However when I load it onto my ipod touch they are out of order. I noticed that itunes wants to sort by track which for each cd are labeled 1-12 then on cd 2 1-12 and so on. How can I overwrite or edit the track number order so they are always in order? Currently the track number will not let me edit it.
Thanks

4Gen shuffle problem selectthis unit chapter audio books

I have 16 chapter audio book on this IPOD. I hold down voice over button until chapters are being read and then release it I tried pressing voice over or play/pause to select a chapter. Doing either one will not select a chapter. Reverts back to where it was when I started. What am I doing wrong???
Help is appreciated.
John

People are having the same problem in another thread: "Only plays 1 (ONE) Podcast - No matter what I do" http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2649381&tstart=0
And that includes me! Even if you put multiple podcasts or audiobook files onto a playlist or smart playlist and then put it on your iPod shuffle, only one of them will play. To get the next one on the list to play you have to use Voice Over to scroll forward and then click play, which is ridiculous.
My only advice is to get podcasts and audiobooks directly from websites, if possible, i.e., not as a podcast subscription through itunes. That way, your shuffle will not treat the files as podcasts and you'll avoid the hassle of trying to get them to play in order as a simple playlist.
Obviously something is wrong with the way podcasts are implemented in 4th gen shuffle. Hope this gets fixed soon.
