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.
To get the audiobook files into audiobook section they must be in a specific format.

IPod Shuffle has started playing audio books and podcasts too fast.

iPod Shuffle has started playing audio books and podcasts too fast. What can be done?

Some other iPods (that are not shuffles) have an onboard setting to change the playback speed for some types of iTunes media, such as audiobooks. But a shuffle has no screen, to change such settings.
First, do this to reset the shuffle, if you have not already

If that does not help, you may want to do a Restore on the shuffle. The Restore button is on the shuffle's Summary screen in iTunes. This will erase the shuffle, reinstall its software, and set it to default settings. The shuffle will be like it was when new, so this problem should be fixed.

Can I play on audio book on iPod shuffle?

How do I download an audio book to my shuffle? Can I?

Hello there Tony,
Here is an article outlining how to add, and listen to Audio Books and Podcasts to the iPod Shuffle.
iPod shuffle: Playing audiobooks and podcasts
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1831
Adding Audiobooks and Podcasts to iPod shuffle
The Autofill feature of iTunes will not add audiobooks and podcasts to any iPod model. They can be manually added by dragging them to the iPod shuffle in iTunes.
For iPod shuffle (3rd generation), you must enable Manually manage music in the Summary tab to drag songs to iPod shuffle. Additionally, you can automatically sync audiobooks using the Music tab and sync podcasts using thePodcasts tab in iTunes.
All the best,
Sterling

How do I upload audio books and music at the same time

I like listening to Audio Books as well as music but everytime I upload any music it deletes the audio books and when I upload audio books it deletes the music. How do I keep both on my iPhone without the other being deleted.
Cheers

Thats what I was doing wrong. Both music and books were ticked but I wasn't clicking on the books tab and ticking what I wanted to upload there.
All I need to do now is work out why iTunes stops working when I start typing to submit details gracenote.
Thanks

HT2905 My itunes looks nothing like the examples in this tutorial. I do not have "display exact duplicates" or "date added". Can someone please help me remove duplicate songs? Also, I downloaded two audio books and they are showing up in my song list.

My itunes looks nothing like the examples in this tutorial. I do not have "display exact duplicates" or "date added". Can someone please help me remove duplicate songs? Also, I downloaded two audio books and they are showing up in my song list. Why???

'Show duplicates' is now under the 'View' menu. To see the 'Date added' column go to 'View options' from the 'View' menu and check it in the section under 'Stats'.
Click an audiobook once to select it and hit command-i (Mac) or control-i (Windows). Go to the 'Options' tab and set 'Media Kind' to 'Audiobook'.

I have purchased two separate audio books and they just skip around and wont play all the way thru. how do i redownload them without buying them again?

How to report an issue with Your iTunes Store purchase

At the present time, audiobooks are a one-time download and cannot be redownloaded again for free. You can try contacting the iTunes store to see if they would grant you an exception: http://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html.

HT201306 i downloaded an itunes audio book and now can't find it anywhere...where did it go?

I downloaded an itunes audio book and now can't find it anywhere...not in iTunes, not in iBooks...where did it go?

I had similar troubles on my iPhone 5 (iOS 7) with some audiobooks. Tried redownloading, reported problems, etc. nothing worked. Even more confusing, I could 'see' it in the On This IPhone in iTunes, but couldn't even see the audiobooks button in iTunes (on the phone).
I ended up searching for it by name, from my iPhone home screen (by swiping down, it may be called spotlight?), and where it reads 'Search this iPhone', I just started typing the name of the book, and there it was.
Not the most elegant solution, but so far all three of the books that I've bought are there.

Downloaded audio books and they came in duplicates how do I get a refund?

I was downloading an audio book and it downloaded in duplicates. How do I get credit and/or cancel? I don't know what I did to cause this.

Johnsherryq-
When you receive the confirmation eMail from the iTunes store, check to see if it charged you twice or just once. If it is not correct, there is a reply link under the item to "Report a Problem".

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.

Have downloaded audio book and it won't open

Have downloaded an audio book, and it won't open. It has a red dot next to it, but has downloaded.

Do a reset (Hold Sleep/Wake and Home buttons about 10 secs or more till Apple logo appears, ignore the Slide to Power Off that appears)
Note: You will not lose any data.

I restored my iPad 2 from the iTunes backup but my music, audio books and iBooks are all missing.

I restored my iPad 2 from the iTunes backup but my music, audio books and iBooks are all missing. It seems only the Apps were restored and settings. Anyone else had this problem?

Oh and the bizarre thing was that when I opened iBooks for the first time after the restore it showed all the books in the open collection and then they vanished in front of my eyes!

Hi Floodzer,
To start your troubleshooting process, I recommend going throught the following steps from the iPad: Basic troubleshooting article:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3274
Follow these steps, testing after each:
Turn the iPad off and turn it on again. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button on top of iPad for a few seconds, until a red slider appears. Then slide the slider. Then press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset iPad. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
Cheers,
David

I bought an audio book and cannot find it anywhere, I bought an audio book and cannot find it anywhere

I just purchased an audio book and cannot find in in my iBooks or when I go back into iTunes it's no longer available for download. Under recent purchases it's not there. When I look at my iBook all the other books I have bought are there but not the Dale Carnegie book

So I searched other similar questions and found that going to music, then audiobooks, my new book was there. Any suggestions on how to get it to my phone now?
