Audio books icon gone

I had a bunch of audio book in my library, but I just noticed that the icon is gone. Searching my computer, I see that the books are still there. How do I get my icon back?
Thanks!

Hey Cichosz,
Thanks for the question. The audiobooks section only appears if you have audiobooks synced or downloaded to your device. From the information you provided, I can conclude that there are not any audiobooks currently stored on your device. For more information, see the following:

  • The audio book icon disappeared

    I have 2 related problems.  First, the audio book icon disappeared from my iPod nano.  Second, when I add audio books to my iPod using iTunes (even when I had the audio book icon) it puts the audio books in with music and then the books won't play in order.  This means that I can't listen to the books from the beginning to the end and I have to try to hunt for the next chapter.
    Can anyone help?
    Thanks

    You don't have to make a playlist. I was checking if you did a create a playlist which might have led to it showing in music app. Check to make sure the media kind is audio books. You can do this by:
    Right click on audio book -> Get info -> Info. Here make sure the media kind is audiobook.
    Hope this helps!

  • The option to play audio book has gone after IOS6 update audio books are on the iphone

    Hi since updating to IOS6 I seem to have lost the ability to play Audiobook, if I go to the Ipod app the option isn't there and hen I connect to my car it says the folder is empty. Is there something I need to do to be able to play audio books. The audible app finds all the books so I know they are there, but doesn't work in the car where I like listening to books on long journeys.

    anilsudhakaran Thanks!  This did the trick.  I guess this was added with the update since this view used to be visible for me without the added step.  Greatly appreciated 

  • HT1491 Where did my audio books go?

    I have bought several audio books from the iTunes Store. I used to access them through the Music app's "audio books" icon (with albums, artists, etc., icons). Suddenly, the "audio books" icon is gone. It's the same with the iTunes program on my computer--the Audio Books section has vanished. Audio books have not been moved over to the iBooks app, which has my written (not audio) books as always.
    I sync my purchases between devices with with iCloud, but there is no longer an Audio Books section under "Purchased" in the iTunes Store. When I search the iTunes Store for the book I want to listen to, it gives me the opportunity to spend another $20+ to buy the audio book, but no option to download what I've already bought and paid for.
    Where are the audio books that I've already purchased and how do I listen to them?

    Audiobooks are a one-time only download, they won't appear in the Purchased section for re-downloading - I think that they are all supplied to Apple by audlibe.com, so I assume that it's them requiring the one-time rule.
    If they are not on your devices, nor in the Books section of your computer's iTunes library and you don't have them on a backup, 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, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

  • Lost all my audio books

    As it seems the folks at apple cannot help me can any one else point me in a direction that can help with the following issue?
    I am a truck driver, and I use my IPad and IPhone to listen to audio books purchased through ITunes. To make things easier today I purchased an ITouch so I could listen to my audio books while driving down the road as I can keep the books on an ITouch without cluttering up my phone and my tablet is too large to keep on the dash. So I got home and there was an update available on all of the devices, and in an attempt to keep things in best working order I did the uploads, then my brother-in-law allowed me to use his computer to backup my IPad and then I was going to sync all of my devices. I followed the instructions online and when I was done all of my audio books were gone. This is several hundreds of dollars worth of books. When I called support they said I would not be able to have them anymore because they don't get backed up to the cloud. And even though both I and the support person could see the purchases of these books I was told that I would have to repurchase or send an email and wait for a reply. I tried to explain that I was a truck driver and only have limited computer availability, or down time to scan email, find a hotspot I can use, etc... While very sympathetic I was told the only options would be to send an email to the "store" or repurchase. I then asked to talk to the supervisor to see if there were any other options besides waiting for weeks to get things taken care of or spending hundreds of dollars again. I was told this wasn't an option because the person I was talking with had a supervisor who was an HR person and only helped with providing reviews and such. I asked how long the email process would take and do they have email staff available 24/7. I was told yes they are available 24/7 but that they may not respond for 48 hours or maybe in one. I then told the person I would like some kind of response within 2 hours because that is all the availability I had before having to leave out on the road again. Agent said he would be glad to give me his personal contact information but he would be getting off within 35 minutes. I said then can I have someone call me in 1 hour and 30 minutes to let me know if there was any update on how things were going. I was then informed that he wouldn't set up a call back because the next person wouldn't be able to do anything he couldn't do right then. I have waited the promised 1.5 hours and have had no response. I am disappointed in the response to my issue. I was informed several times that even though the products I bought that were developed and supported by your company couldn't be supported because it was a "store" issue. even though the problem was instigated by 1. buying another product from y'all and expecting it to work the way advertised; 2. following the instructions online that explain how to do the updates and purchase transfers; 3. have support that doesn't understand that internal process failure shouldn't effect the customer so negatively. I am very upset, disappointed, and quite frankly hurt that your company would treat people so callously and with such disregard as to say that there was only one option whether it worked or not, didn't matter what happened, or that it was a technical failure and the process on your end didn't allow for any support for the customer. And it really made me feel that your company is only about greed. I understand making a dollar and profit and the bottom line, I don't understand giving up your ethics and disregard for Social Responsibility, and Consumer Support, and standing by your product the expectation that you want people to believe your company is about. It is not surprising to me at the moment why Apple has issues regularly if this is what customers can expect from you.

    For info we are fellow users here on these user-to-user forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple.
    Audiobooks (and ringtones) have always been a one-time only download from the store, other items are only potentially redownloadable for free if the remain in your country's store and if you don't move countries. I believe that all audiobooks are supplied to Apple by audible.com, so I assume that it's them that are requiring the one-time only download. No iTunes downloads (not any of your own content in the Music and Videos apps) are included in a device's backup, an iTunes restore will copy those items that are in that computer's iTunes library (did you do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases to copy them over to your brother-in-laws computer before starting the update ?), an iCloud restore will redownload what it can from the store.
    The store's terms advise you to take a backup copy of anything that you download as you may not be able to subsequently redownload them - you should be keeping and maintaining a backup copy of all of you downloads.
    It's possible that if the audiobooks are still in your country's store that iTunes Support will grant you a redownload - if they do then take a backup copy.

  • Yesterday everything was syncing up fine with my Ipod Nano 6th gen.  Today I'm getting conflicts and my songs and audio books are completely gone from my Ipod.  The message says that it can not be played on this Ipod.  They played before.

    I've been using my Ipod for over a year now without issue.   Today I downloaded some new audio books from Itunes and when I tried to sync up, it would not work and all of the books and music that I had on my Ipod are gone from my Ipod.  They still show up in my Itunes library.   The only thing I see that is different is that now there is a "cloud" symbol next to my library content.   This makes no sense to me.  Please help.

    I'm not sure if it charged when I hooked it up to my roommate's computer, but it definately didn't register either. If I put it on the dock it plays so the port is fine, but that still doesn't help me sync it to my computer.

    The book icon on my nano is gone! How do i get it back?
    Thanks in advance~

    Head to Settings -> Home Screen and make sure the AudioBooks icon is enabled.  If it's not there, this is a sign that there are no audiobooks on your iPod.

    my address book icon is gone from the screen on my blackberry pearl..please help me recover. Thanks

    Make selective backup
    save only data that you need to be saved.
    After that on the device go to Options - Security Options - General Settings
    Hit the menu button and select "Wipe handheld"
    It will wipe the device memory.
    After that restore the saved information to the device.

  • Foundation series audio books was available in itunes on the weekend and now on monday they are all gone?

    On the weekend I downloaded the audio book for the first Foundation novel by Issac Asimov.  All of the first four books in the series were available to buy when I browsed through the available books.  I went back today on monday to download the next book (Second Foundation) and it was not listed as available, but books 3 and 4 were still listed?  I went back 2 hours later to see if the second book would show up and now all 4 are not listed?

    Close all open apps by double-tapping the home button, then swiping up and off the screen with the app window (not the smaller icon).
    Reset your device: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss)

  • Audio books gone, also purchased movies.

    I did not sync my purchased audio books with iTunes. After updating to iOS6 they are now gone. How do I get them back. They are not in the purchase tab in iTunes but I do have the receipt. I have also bought bovies that I can not retreive. Any tips on how to get it back?

  • HT201269 I can't download my purchased Audio books to my iPhone 5S. Why not?

    I upgraded to the iPhone 5S from 3G and after uploading files, apps and photos I noticed that not all my songs were uploaded and neither were any of my audio books. I clicked on the iTunes app and clicked on the MORE icon where the number 214 is in red. When I click, it shows 214 downloads, none are my audio books. WHen I click on song title it acts like its going to begin download and then I get error message: Unable to Dowload Song - could not be downloaded at this time. I hit the retry button and get the same error message. I cannot find and evidence at all on my iPhone that I have any Audio books that I have purchased through iTunes, and they show records of it. I can't get them to download if there is no reference point.

    I have just had the same issue as "wagtribe".
    I purchased a audio book for an 83-year-old relative that I'm nursing who is loosing her eyesight and bodily functions in what is now expected to be the last week of her life.
    I made the purchase on my 6-Plus synced to one iMac and fully expected it to be available to my iPad mini synced on my second iMac which are all synced to the same iTunes account so that I could leave it in the room with Auntie. Guess what, audio books are not transferable and Apple slugged me twice for the same book just so the old dear could have an audio book from Apple. Apple, I understand you have legal issues with publishers, but as we Australian's would say "Fair go Mate!" Apple can do better, as amply demonstrated with other iTunes file types.

  • I just purchased extra storage for my iCloud.  How and where do I access it?  I purchased movies and audio books to find out that I didn't have enough storage (the reason for the extra storage purchase).  I have no idea where to find them now.  Help?!

    How do I use my iCloud???
    I purchased 4 movies and 2 audio books from iTunes only to find out my iPad2 didn't have enough storage, so I purchased more storage from iCloud. 
    My iTunes account only shows the 4 movies that need to still be downloaded (not the two books)  After purchasing 20GB from iCloud I am still receiving the  "There is not enough available storage.  You can manage your storage in Settings" message.  I have gone to my Settings, where it shows I have the new, extra storage.  I have set all the iCloud settings as shown on the Apple website.  In my iCloud settings, it shows I have 17GB available out of 25GB.   In my General settings, it shows that I have a capacity of 28.6 GB, while my Available is 2.9GB.  (????)
    I don't know why I still can't download the movies.  I wouldn't know where to go (how to get to) the iCloud if I could...
    Also, iTunes has sent me receipts for the movies and audio books I purchased as well.  Where are they???
    Thank you SO very much for any assistance you can offer me!

    Cancel your storage upgrade
    If you upgrade or renew your storage but no longer need it, you can cancel. If you cancel your storage plan within 15 days of an upgrade or within 45 days after a yearly payment, you can contact Apple for a full refund. After this period, you can downgrade your storage for the following year.
    Note:  Partial refunds are available where required by law.

  • 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?
