Audio Book Synch

I recently purchase an audio book from itunes. It's in order on itunes, but when I synch it, it's out of order. Any suggestions??

Hi. Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Unless you want to turn your audiobook into a single monolithic file, just make a playlist for it and sync that. The iPod's audiobook section was designed to work with single file audiobooks, listed in alphabetical order by title, and has not been updated to reflect the recent improved support for multi-file audiobooks in iTunes. I have playlist folders for each author containing playlists for each book. It's still worth marking the files as audiobooks within iTunes, both when listening on your computer and to keep the files out of the main music section. If you're interested in linking your chapters into a single file you can find more information at Aldo on Audiobooks.

  • The audio books synching is broken

    I listen to an audio book from Audible on my iPod Nano 6G.  Then I synch that with iTunes.  Then I synch with my iPad 2 and my iPhone 4.  They do not reflect the reading position from the iPod Nano.
    This sort of loosing synch has happenen many times before between iTunes updates.  Usually fixed in the next iTunes update.  When will that happen to fix this problem?

    For Itunes 10.6 and Iphone 4s with  iOS 5.1  update (3/10/12)
    Apple and updates, they always change what was working fine. Here one night I go to synch a new book, I plug in my Iphone 4s, synch and find nothing on my Iphone in my 'Playlist => Audible'    Where are my books?
    Abstract: You can't synch your audio books to your Iphone 4s, Ipad or Ipod after the iOS 5.1 update
    * You have to manually check 'Manage Music and Video's, apply the changes.
    Then uncheck this box, apply the changes. After that, You can synch audiobooks.
    I noticed when I went to synch a new Audio book from Audible, it didn't synch
    I have all my audio books un checked so they don't automatically synch.
    For the ones I want to listen to, I check, then Synch my Iphone 4S
    After the dual Apple Itunes Update and OS patch I noticed something different.
    Perviously in my Iphone4s to see my Audio Books they were in a Playlist called 'Audible'
    Now they are also in another place. From your 'Playlist Menu' choose 'More' in the bottom right corner.
    There you see 'AudioBooks' here also
    So you have two options to synch books
    Me I prefer not to have all my 80 books synch. When I choose 'Random on music' nothing breaks the mood more than going from a cool tone to 'This is Audible' and a book start playing. So I uncheck all my Audio Books and only check the one I want to synch. That way there is only 1 book on my Iphone.
    If you plug in your 4S, Click on your Phone , and scrool down and ensure 'Synch only Checked' songs and Videos'
    You don't need to check 'Manually Manage Music and Videos' unless you actually need to. I prefere at all cost to let Itunes manage my music. But if you have a small Ipod/Nano/Iphone and lots of music, and you only want to synch small parts of your library, then Check this box.  Luckily I have a 64gb Iphone 4s and 30gb of Music, so I can keep it all in in one synch.

  • Audio Books - synching to iPod.

    I have an iPod Classic 80GB. All works fine except.... When I buy audiobooks and they are added to iTunes they appear under audiobooks. When I then sync my iPod with iTunes to load them onto my iPod they only appear on my iPod under Music and not Audiobooks. How do I get them to appear correctly on my iPod? I can't find anything in the Apple literature on this.
    Thanks for any help.

    How are you transfering to the iPod, manual or auto-sync? I've heard people sometimes have trouble with Podcasts appearing in the wrong place when organising manually, perhaps the same can happen with Audiobooks. I take it you've enabled the Audiobooks menu item under *Settings > Music Menu*. Does a reset make any diference? I only have one Audiobook file which I created as test but that shows up as expected in Audiobooks and the track is not listed elsewhere (Cover Flow, Album, etc.) so it should be possible to get it to work.

  • My iMac was synchronised to my iPod in the store I purchased it. When I purchase an audio books it is not synching accross to the iPod. Am I missing something . What would happen if I use the 'sync' button again?

    Yes. Other things have synced including books, but I don't know how these happened. According to the 'audible' instructions it should happen automatically, but it doesn't.

  • Synching audio books to new mac

    Trying to synch previously purchased audio books to new mac. Old mac dead with no back up but have audio books on iPhone. Read that can only download an audio book once from iTunes (not good news as have quite a library for the kids) so how can i transfer the audio books from my iPhone onto my new mac?

    By 'mediathek' do you mean a new computer or a new iTunes library on your old computer ?
    Audiobooks are currently a one-time only download, so you will either need to copy them over from your old computer/iTunes library or from your backup and add them to your iTunes via File > Add To Library. If you don't have a copy of them anywhere and they are still in the store then you can try contacting iTunes support and see if they will grant you a re-download : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

  • Trying to synch a two part audio book, but only get part 2.

    I downloaded a two part audio book from iTunes onto my iPad. I synched my iPat to my MacBook Pro but only got part 2 of the book to synch. I've confirmed that I had the book selected to synch. Thoughts?

    When you have the iPad selected, and select the audiobook to sync, can you see the two parts of the book, and are they both selected?

  • Can not synch one chapter of an audio book

    When ever I synch my audio books to my iPhone 3G I get the following error.
    "Part 08 was not copied to the iPhone because it cannot be played on this iPhone"
    The file type is a MPEG layer 3 audio, just like the other 34 parts. Why won't this one copy over? Is there any way I can get a more descriptive error message explanation?
    Thanks

  • My iPhone won't synch audio books

    I have the new 5s and when I synch my playlist, which includes audio books, it just skips over it in the synch.  I don't even care about all my music being onmy phone, just the books, and they won't synch.  I see other people are having this problem, but no answers yet, so I thought I would re-pose the question.
    Thanks,
        Markie

    Thanks so much, I'm going to try this. In order to "un synch" do I just uncheck the music in iTunes that was synched up ( but left out the spoken word stuff).?  Then restart my phone and synch again? Do I have that right?
    Thanks!

  • HT4528 audio books have stopped synching on my iPhone 5

    audio books have stopped syncing

    Okay, first things first.
    Try resetting the iPhone (since you've already restarted). Hold down the home and power buttons until you see an apple logo. Then let go of them.
    If that doesn't work, try connecting to an actual wifi (starbucks or something).
    If that doesn't work... http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137

  • Transfering audio books from MacBook to iPhone 5s

    I just asked how to transfer audio books from my MacBook to iPhone5s and had a reply that it should work like it did with my iPod touch. Well it doesn't. I tried moving audio books into my iTine Library (which I never did with iPod). I started to synch individual books but stopped as it is confusing to me what gets saved and what gets erased. I've tried dragging several ways. Help!

    Well, maybe it should but it won't work. I drag the file over to the iPhone and nothing happens. I thought maybe because the audio books weren't in iTunes, so I moved them to the library on my macbook and still nothing happens.

  • Zen 2gb and audio book chapters and bookma

    Hello,
    Right now I have a Zen Stone which I use mainly to download audio books and which I have outgrown. It was a good, cheap starter mp3, but now I want something better. (The tech upgrade?bug strikes again, I guess.) The main peeeve I have with the Zen Stone is that I cannot bookmark where I stopped in a book's chapter. Books download in sections whcih contain more that one actual chapte, so, when I have to recharge the battery, the Stone restarts at the last section, not where I quit to recharge. Thus, I have to re-listen to old material. Also, since there is no screen, I can't see where and what section/chapter I am anyway.
    Will a better model Zen allow me to save and bookmark where I am in a book so that i can restart anywhere without going back over old material? Will I be able to see sections nad chapter headings (section 4, chapter6, e.g.) on the screen.
    Any help appreciated. I am fairly new to mp3-land, but not to computers. Thanks

    I can tell you that the Zen 2gb is not as great with audio books as it ought to be.
    Audible?format audio books have chapter markings that the Zen can see. Overdri've?Media files?do not.
    Yes, you can bookmark. However, when you go to the bookmark, the player does not remember that the bookmarked file was part of a playlist. Therefore, it loads only the one file and stops playing when it gets to the end. At that point you have to go back through the main menu to reload your playlist.
    The "resume" function would make the bookmark problem less annoying, if it worked properly. The player will remember where you stopped and begin there the next time you turn the player on, unless you wait more than 2 hours. In that case, it starts at the beginning of the track and you have to FF till you find your place (hopefully you remembered to note the timer position before shutting down). This is the method I've settled on, because although I have to FF to my place every morning and evening, at least I don't have to keep reloading playlist.
    Interestingly, although you can't bookmark videos on the Zen, you don't need to, because it remembers where you left off playing it no matter how long you wait, and even after synching.

  • Audio book sync issue

    I recently purchased an audio book from iTunes. it is not synching with my iPhone5. I have another audio book on my iPhone, which I've "unchecked"; I've "checked" my new purchase. The old book won't delete and the new book won't sync.

    I am having the same issues on tow separate machines (MBP 17 inch and dual quad MP). Audio on left and right channels are out of sync and "trailing" somewhat random along with the video. Every-time I start playback sync starts to get worse. I tried EVERYTHING to get rid of this behavior:
    Relinking media files
    trashing renders
    Trashing preferences
    Reinstalling FinalcutStudio 2
    Reinstalling OS X
    My sync issues are so severe that I can only work in mono. There is also no way to print to tape (DV and HDV) as FCP is skipping frames. Not sure how to attack this problem.
    I would appreciate if Apple would look into this (hint) , I would be more then willing in helping to solve this with some screen captures of this bizarre behaviour.

  • Audio Book bookmarks

    I am considering purchasing this phone and have not been able to get an answer to this.  I now use a Zen MP3 player to listen to audio books. I am able to set bookmarks along the way as I read so I will always be able to get back to the place I left off in the book after turning off the device.  Can you do this on the Blackberry and will it remember where on the book you were at when you restart it?  This will be the determining factor for me as to whether to purchase a Blackberry since I'm trying to combine a phone and MP3 into one.  I don't use the MP3 for music, only audio books and bookmarking my place is critical.  Thank you.

    I found the solution that works great for me on the 9780.
    I had the requirement that when playing long MP3s (audiobook/podcast) I don't loose my place within the MP3.  I am able to update the list of MP3s without loosing my place in the currently playing one.  I don't loose my place when connecting the BB to a PC with the USB cable and using USB synch to copy files to the SDCard.
    All of these are accomplished by playing MP3s via File Manager/Play Folder feature.
    If you use play lists or other methods directly through the BB media player, you will loose your place as soon as you switch off the BB, escape the player, or connect the USB cable.
    If instead you use the file browser to go to the folder with the MP3s you wish to play (I have all my podcasts in one folder that I update manually) and select "Play Folder" from the context menu, the media player will open.
    If you escape the media player that is opened as per above, the last point in the played MP3 is remembered.  This even survives any synchronization I do to the folder via USB or a soft power reset (ALT CAPS DEL).  It remembers the spot in multiple MP3s to boot. 
    This is a great handy feature.  I'm glad it works with the 9780/OS6.
