Audio books don't automatically go to next chapter

I listen to audiobooks on my iphone. I am having trouble figuring out the setting which will progress to the next chapter automatically instead of replaying the chapter that I just listened to. Help!

You may just have repeat on accidently. Next time while listening to your book. Press the center of the screen (middle of the artwork for the book). It will bring up a smaller sub menu of controls near the top (current time/duration along with repeat and shuffle options). Believe repeat is on left and shuffle on right. If you see repeat blue (or blue with a number 1) it means it is in repeat mode. Tap to toggle till it is white (off). Same for shuffle.

How do I get audio books to play in proper Ch/sub-chapter sequence

I listen to a lot of audio books and I've found the chapters, and especially sub-chapters, often do not play in the same sequence found on the CD I've purchased. Is there something I'm missing when I import them or must I continue to manually go back a number the tracks or rename the track titles to begin with numbers (e.g. 01_Chapter 1: The Premise of a Blue Sky - Preface, 02_The Premise of a Blue Sky: Night-time Blue, etc., etc.,)?
Thank you

The Alchemy plugin from CamelAudio is no longer available. You can use Szforzando from Plogue. First install szforzando. Then start Garageband and the plugin will be available. (If you had GarageBand open when you installed szforzando, close it and re-open.) To open the plugin and use it on a track, follow these steps.
1.Select the track to use
2. Open the Smart Controls
3. Click the Inspector button (with an "i" on it).
4. Below "Keyboard Sensitivity," click Plugins. You may have scroll the window to see it, or expand the window.
5. Select Instrument/All Instruments/Plogue Art et Technologie/szforzando/stereo. The plugin will open.
6. Click the "File" window, which should say "empty." A menu pops up with three options: import, empty, reload. Select import.
7. Navigate in your file system to an sfz. file and open.
8. Now the sfz sounds should play through the GarageBand controller, e.g, command-K keyboard.

Can anyone explain Why my Audio Book the Listeners Bible does not allow chapter selection on my IPad, and did before latest update, but does in ITunes on my PC?

Why does't my Audio Bible have Chapter Selection in the new music update on my IPad.
It worked perfectly before but now I can not select the chapters?

Because Apple has inexplicably removed support for audiobook chapters in its iOS 5.0 music player on iPad. It makes no sense, but that's what they did. Hopefully it'll return in a future update.

Audio books chapter keeps repeating

Can anyone tell me where i turn off repeat on the music app on the new iPad? ( i know where to change the settings on the iPhone but that little white circle / blue circle / blue circle with a 1 in it is not there on the iPad version) i am trying to listen to an audio book andit just keeps repeating the same chapter over and over instead of moving to the next chapter.

Perhaps I should have given more detail. The device works the way it works. Listing every chapter is part of the normal behaviour, and often not in a useful order which is the main thrust of that article. However it does point out that you can use one of the various free/cheap tools available to stitch the individual files into a single audiobook file which is what iDevices really expect to receive.
Alternatively you could use a smart playlist which matches a particular title and only includes files with a play count of zero to make it easier to locate the current chapter. I don't recall ever trying this so I'll have a go and see how it works out.

Import audio book to itunes but it won't sync to my ipod

I am at a complete loss. I have been importing audio books from the public library to itunes and then putting them on my ipod for months. All of a sudden the books won't sync to my ipod. Songs work ok, but my audio books don't. The little sync icon spins and the itunes screen says it is updating but it only lasts for a few seconds and the book is not on my ipod. I have done everything I can think of including restoring my ipod back to the original settings which lost everything. I don't know what else to do.

Might you find the answer here?

How do you move audio books from ipad to imac

i've moved music etc to my imac from ipad to free up space but audio books don't show up as being downloadable from the ipad to imac. how do i transfer then?

transfer purchases to itunes on the computer and sync the other device afterwards

HT4059 audio books on my iPad?

I'm not able to access my bought audio books on my Ipad.
What next?

How are you trying to access them ? If you've synced them from your computer's iTunes or bought and downloaded them directly on the iPad then they should be in the Music app - when you have audiobooks on an iPad you will get an Audiobooks option under the More button at the bottom of the Music app.
If you have bought them directly on the iPad then note that audiobooks are currently a one-time only download from the store (so they won't appear in the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app for re-downloading), so you may want to copy it to your computer's iTunes via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases so that you can take a backup copy of it - it should copy over to the Books part of your iTunes library.

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.

I've downloaded audio books successfully to my iPod, but they don't show up on my iTunes.. and I want to delete some.

I've successfully downloaded audio books to my iPod for years but now they don't show up on iTunes, not under Music, not under books or Audiobooks - nowhere!
And I want to delete some...

Hello, mimi2216.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
This could be a result of Automatic Downloads not being enabled, the apps were too large to download via the cellular data network or a cellular data connection was not available at the time of download. The best option would be to download the missing apps via the steps in the second article below.

How to play next audio book file/chapter?

Trying to setup an ipad2 for my mother and load some of her audio books on it. The audio books are mostly in mp3 format with some being in m4a. Books are marked as audio book format.
Problem is that when placed on the ipad and accessed by going through music -> more -> audio books, the books appear, selecting one shows all files/parts of the book, but when playing, it does not advance to next file. Particular problem in which some books are split into 3 minute chunks per file.
Taking the same files and placing them on my ipod 5.5, they play fine and auto-advance fine.
Any ideas?
Ipad 2 w/ iOS 5

iOs 5 Bug identified...
After selecting an audio book, if you select a file/chapter directly, it will play only that file/chapter and NOT continue to the next one. Also, no icon (speaker) is shown for the files/chapter being played.
If instead you press the play button at top left (not main focus on screen), then the book starts playing from beginning, an icon is present next to file/chapter, and the files/chapter are played sequentially automatically.

Since I've updated to iOS 6 I am unable to use the next/back buttons from Headphone for audio book chapters.

Since I've updated from iOS 5 to iOS 6 I am unable to use the next/back buttons from Headphone for audio book chapters.
This is working fine for albums but are broken for audio books.
The back button refers always to the first chapter of the audio book (very annoying if you are in the middle of an audio book) and the nex button goes one level higher back to the selection of the audio book itself.
In iOS 5.0 it was still possible to navigate throught the audio book chapters using these buttons.
This still happens in iOS 6.1.
Is this a known bug?
Does any solution exist?
Thx,
Oliver

To gdgmacguy your a f****** idiot for one I'm having the same problem as pennymar. And you tell me to quit whinning. You got more problems then the iOS 6 you did not answer my question nor the other 13 or whatever you replied to within a 30 min time frame. You must got nothing better to do then to harass people and to pretend you know something about apple products. Which you don't from what I've read the other advices you should have gave to other people. But you didn't you replied a question back to the people asking a question. So if your not gonna use these community forums the right way don't use them at all.

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.

My iPod nano 5th generation is not recognized by iTunes. I did update, but still, it won't work. I don't want to uninstall the iTunes cos I don't want to lose my music and audio books. What to do? It started after I updated iTunes.

iPod appears in Windows but not in iTunes

I don't load music, only audio books. When I have a book that is more than 1 disk, the tracks are named different, (eg track 01 etc., on disk 1, then disk 2 are named 1a, 1b, etc.) , so when synced it is all jumbled 01, 1a, 02, 2a ect. Help?
