Audio books not syncing, can't find them anywhere

I think I am done purchasing any audiobooks from Apple. This is ridiculous. I purchased two audio books on my phone that I wanted to transfer to my sons iPod and the only way I could figure out how to do this was to sync my iphone with my iTunes on my desktop. I tried doing a "transfer purchases from iPhone" first but that didn't work. It just did the music files, no audiobooks. Then I tried syncing it the old fashioned way. But instead of putting the audiobook on my computer it erased it completely from my iPhone. Not only that, but they've burried the link to the audio books in iTunes so deep that it's almost impossible to find. This is just stupid, it shouldn't be so hard to buy audiobooks and then share them with family members.

They should be in your library and also should be included in your regular backup of your computer.

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.

I have several audio books now I can't find them on iTunes.

I have audiobooks and now I can't find them on iTunes. They don't show up on purchased. Help

Had you reset your iPad or just done anything else when you found that they were missing ? If they were on the iPad when you last synced/backed up via your computer's iTunes then you could try restoring to that back up and see if that restores them to your iPad. Also for Notes you could check to see if they are stored on any of the email accounts that you've got on the iPad - try logging into the accounts via a browser and see if any have a Notes folder underneath them.

I lost my iPhone and I was hoping that my photos were being saved to iCloud, but I can't find them anywhere. I read that iCloud saves them for thirty days, but where?

You are referring to Photo Stream. Photo Stream syncs the photos taken with your device to all of your device.
It's not a photo storage service, so photos are deleted 30 days after being added to Photo Stream. You can't access to your Photo Stream photos from http://www.icloud.com, but only from an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch (using the Photos app), Mac (using iPhoto '11 or Aperture 3 with OS X Lion or Mountain Lion) or PC (with iCloud Control Panel).
In all of these devices, you have the option of copying them to the device, so they will be kept after 30 days

I just upgraded to the iPhone 6 and before I delete my old phone, I want to make sure all my photos were in icloud, but I can't find them anywhere. Why? I know it may take weeks to download my 14,000 pics, but I want to make sure they're there.

Extract the photos from the phone to your computer like you would with any other digital camera.
PhotoStream is NOT permanent storage and iCloud photos is in beta, meaning it's not fully cooked yet and you may lose data stored in it.

Does anybody know if Windows 8 is causing a problem with iTunes? Many songs on my old iPod are now missing in my iTunes library and I can't find them anywhere. Also, I have a new iPod and am afraid of using it for fear of something else going wrong.

Try assigning Queen as the Album Artist on the compilations in iTunes on your computer.

I opened my Iphoto and all my pictures were gone, and I can't find them anywhere, what do I do?

I opened my Iphoto and all my pictures were gone, and I can't find them anywhere, what do I do? Or how do I find them, and get them all back?

try this: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1995, also this which discusses rebuilding iPhoto library : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2638

TS1702 I couldn't download a pre-purchased album, so I cancelded the order hoping I could just buy the album. Now it says that I've purchased all of the songs and I can't find them anywhere. My account was never charged either. Please help!

I have looked everywhere in my iTunes for this and I simply can't find them. It says that I have already purchased them, but I haven't. Please help, I have waited a long time to be able to use iTunes again.

I downloaded add ons but I can't find them anywhere

So where would I find them or how do I use the addons I downloaded

If you installed from the Add-ons site, you should find those add-ons listed here:
menu > Tools > Add-ons
If you tap an individual add-on, it might have options. Otherwise, you could check whether the add-on added itself to the menu somewhere. If it doesn't show up anywhere in the menus, maybe it has some other UI? For example, Ghostery displays a ghost icon over the page.
If you can't find it anywhere, do you want to mention which add-on(s) you're trying to use?

My 3 kids have itouches, i have an iphone 4 and an ipad. i just lost all my notes on my ipad and iphone. i synced both to my mac but i can't find them anywhere...advice?

i synced both to my mac to see if they would come back and they do not. i looked at other forums and most of the people that had success getting them back used gmail. I do not. My email is verizon. The only notes that were on there before the sync were 2 short notes that look like they could have been from one of my kids (although they all deny they belong to them of course). now after the sync there are 4 notes all from december or this past sunday but the other 20 or so notes are nowhere to be seen. I suppose part of the problem could be that i really don't understand the icloud. I am really struggling to figure out how to use it. the other day i synced my ipad (because i usually enter all my calendar dates on there and they were not syncing to my iphone via the icloud and now i have duplicates of a bunch of calendar events. i am getting so frustrated. Any advice welcome. Thanks.

Thanks for the reply.
True by my description it would seem I sent them nowhere, but ten minutes later after turning on and off Contacts in the Cloud I got most of them.
I have the most recent one I added about 4 days ago but I'm missing some here and there.
I logged in with my Apple ID and it's the only one I've ever used.
Still a little weird.
I have synced my contacts with iTunes but not very recently.
I now have learned to do it often!
As far as I can tell there's no rhyme or reason for my missing contacts.
It's odd I would have most, but not all. So I must have uploaded something since I have some of my recent adds that were after my last sync with iTunes.

Play position in audible audio books not syncing back from iPhone to iTunes

Hi everybody. I hope I don't open a redundant thread, but i couldn't find one that has this topic.
Anyway, I am syncing some audio books from audible to my iPhone. When i start playing them on the phone, the play position is in sync to the position in iTunes. Now let's say i listen one hour on the phone and then sync again.
Contrary to what i expected, the further advanced play position from the phone is NOT synced back to iTunes but the old position from iTunes is synced again to the phone. So the next time I access the audio book on the phone I start where i started in the first place.
Is this a bug or have I missed some setting wheresoever?
Thanks for any suggestions!

I have seen others complain about it. For me I never listen via PC (only phone) so I haven't had an issue yet. Though I do when I stop listening look at the time and chapter/file I am at and go over to Notes and jot it down. Due to reboots or other issues, it has lost where I was but with my notes, I can quickly get back.

HT4759 I hooked up my I phone to my lap top and all my notes from my phone are gone and I can't find them anywhere on my lap top or in I Cloud Help

I hooked my phone up to my lap top and in sync, but all my notes from my I Phone are not there anymore and I can not find them any where on my lap top or in I cloud and I need the notes back on my phone...... Help. I don't know what to do.

If you have deleted notes from the iCloud account, you can't recover them, unless you also had them on your computer and maintained a back up.

HT201320 When I access my email from the iPhone, hit "inbox", the new messages appear briefly, but then just evaporate. I can't find them anywhere - not in inbox, not in junk, trash, saved - nowhere. Can anyone tell me what is happening?

When I access my email from the iPhone, new messages appear only briefly and then immediately disappear, before I do anything. Only old messages that were already in my inbox are visible. I can't find the new messages anywhere -- they have not moved to Saved, Junk, Trash, anything. IT is like the iPhone just ate them. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?

If you have a POP3 account this means that another "client" email program has retrieved the messages and deleted the messages from the server. You need to change the server settings on that device to leave the messages on the server.
If you have an IMAP or MS Exchange account this means that someone read the messages on another device and either deleted them or moved them to another folder. Or there is an automated script that moved them to another folder.

Purchased an audio book that I can't find since upgrade, where is it?

I bought an audio book, paid through the itunes store, downloaded it onto my ipad mini. 2013. I cannot find it now after the upgraded ipad mini to iOS7.0.3

I talked with iTunes Tech support for an hour or so this morning. After a lot of trial and error - here is what solved the problem for me.
1. iTunes support resent the download to my Apple ID - I did a 'Check for Available Downloads' in iTunes on my Macbook and the audiobook downloaded tot here.
2. On iPhone - I went to Settings > General > Usage > Music and deleted the Part 1 that was currently in my iPhone - apparently corrupted (since it didn't show in iBooks nor Music App under Audiobooks).
3. Plugged iPhone into MacBook, found that i had audiobooks in a playlist - removed all audiobooks from all playlists. Unchecked all Books and Audiobooks and synced. Then, I rechecked the audiobook I wanted and synced.
This process solved my problem!
