Audio books - remove a book from Nano

How do I remove an audio book from my Nano? Removing music works like the tutorial but that same process doesn't work for books.
Thanks

To remove a book from a mobile device plug the device into the USB port and open iTunes. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of your iPod, iPhone, or iPad in the Device section of the left hand menu of iTunes so that you can see the device’s subcontents. For an MP3 book select the Music subsection, right click on the book and choose Delete.  For a WMA book (Windows), select the Book subsection, right click on the book and choose Delete.

  • Transferring audio books from nano to iTouch

    Can anyone give me any pointers on how to transfer audio books from the Nano (5th gen) to put them on my new iTouch? I have tried dragging and dropping (doesn't work); copy and paste to a computer folder and the Touch (doesn't work) and I don't know many other things which I can't get to work either. I upgraded to the iTouch for more room and I hate to lose all the audio books I still have on the Nano. Naturally, I don't have the files on my computer any more. Any assistance would be appreciated. Thanks.

    There are many ways to transfer audio files from an iPod. Start here:

    For files that have protection, you can burn them to DVD then rip them. This works but it's cumbersome if you have to do it for a lot of files.

  • I downloaded audio books from overdrive media and my ipod nano 6th generation showed it was transferring why can't I find the audio books on my ipod?

    I downloaded audio books from overdrive media and my ipod nano 6th generation showed it was transferring and now I can't find it on my Ipod where would it be?

    The problem may have been in how you transfered it.  You didn't go into much detail.  Just be sure to follow the steps in the tutorial below.  Note Paragraph 5.
    Many libraries worldwide now use Overdrive Media Console, which comes in Mac an Windows versions http://www.overdrive.com/Software/omc .  Some find the mobile device transfer process confusing.  To load or delete a WMA or MP3 (Macs can only download MP3 books) audiobook onto an Apple mobile device see the "How to Transfer to a Portable Device" video in the guides at Step 7, then do the following.
    1. For Windows versions, you must first do a security update of Windows Media Player (even though you won't be using it) using Internet Explorer at http://drmlicense.one.microsoft.com/indivsite .
    2.  Open iTunes, plug the mobile device into the computer USB port and open the Overdrive Media Console.
    3. Highlight the mobile device in the left hand menu of iTunes and insure the "Manually manage music and videos" box is checked in the Summary Tab. If the mobile device storage is full, transfering will delete that portion of music necessary for the ebook.
    4. Highlight the book you want to transfer in the Overdrive Media Console and click the Transfer Button.   A window opens permitting you to click the boxes for parts of the book you wish to transfer.
    5. After the book has been transfered, when you click the disclosure triangle (arrow) to the left of the iPod, iPhone, or iPad in the Device section of the left hand menu of iTunes, MP3 books will show up under the Music subsection and WMA books will show up in the Books subsection.  Once the mobile device is disconnected from iTunes, MP3 books will show up in the Songs list of the mobile device and WMA books will show up in the Books list.
    6. To remove a book from a mobile device plug the device into the USB port and open iTunes. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of your iPod, iPhone, or iPad in the Device section of the left hand menu of iTunes so that you can see the device’s subcontents. For an MP3 book select the Music subsection, right click on the book and choose Delete.  For a WMA book, select the Book subsection, right click on the book and choose Delete.
    7. The Overdrive Media Console Guided Tour (videos) is at http://www.overdrive.com/Solutions/Libraries/tour/MenuWelcome.html .  The "Portable Devices" and "How to Transfer to a Portable Device" videos are there.
    8. To find a nearby library for ebooks search http://search.overdrive.com .  You can download the software, search for books and see tutorials without an account at the website of any library that uses Overdrive, however, you need a library card to download books.  At this library site, for example, the software and guided tour are at the bottom of the left hand menu.

  • HT1848 how do i delete audio books from my iPod nano 5th generation

    How do I delete audio books from my iPod Nano 5th generation. Have deleted from iTunes library & chose sync but it is still on my iPod.

    What you do is this; the next time your ipod is jacked to the USB port on you computer and it shows under "Devices" in your Itunes library. click on that folder (your ipod) and it will have eight folders above the Ipod's state.
    That was step one; step two is once you see this bar above the ipod's state in the Ipod's folder under "devices" scroll down the horizontal bar until you see audiobooks
    Itune's is very user friendly and will give you the option to pick and choose or pick all. to get the audio books off your ipod pick and choose the audio books you want on you're ipod

  • I purchased audio books from iTunes, but they will not sync and play on my iPad.

    I purchased several new audio books from iTunes and they will not download to my iPad so I can listen to them How can this be?

    Hello Rex225
    The best way to resolve the issue is to remove the music from the iPhone and then download the purchase again using the steps in the following article.
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • I have an apple iphone 4 that I want to download audio books from my library onto it.  I cannot figure out how to do that.  The iphone does not show up on my mac laptop as a connected device.  Does this kind of download have to run through itunes?  Thanks

    Yes it is done through iTunes. The iPhone will never show up in Finder as a device. The following is general information on iTunes sync: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1386 and the following is a previous discussion where the post by Andreas Junge helped others that had a problem syncing audiobooks: https://discussions.apple.com/message/20052732#20052732

    I purchased an audio book from iTunes store. It successfully downloaded to my iTunes library< but will not upload to my ipod Touch, even though my computer is authorized. Any suggestions? Any and all are greatly appreciated.

    If your iTunes is set on manual sync, then you have to manually drag and drop. Otherwise every time yousyncyou'll get all changes even if you don't want it.

  • I had purchased an audio book from itunes on my iPad and when I synced my iPad with my computer, my audiobook disappeared. I have already purchased this audiobook, so now I just need to know how to get it back because it is not on iPad anymore.

    I had purchased an audio book from itunes on my iPad and when I synced my iPad with my computer, my audiobook disappeared. I have already purchased this audiobook, so now I just need to know how to get it back because it is not on iPad anymore. I don't think the audiobook was backed up to icloud but I have the receipt to prove I purchased it. Is there anyway I can get it back?

    "If I purchase an audio book in iTunes on my iPad why can't I listen to it on my Mac? "
    You can.  Why do you think you cannot?
    If you purchased it on your ipad, then you would have to transfer it to your computer. File>Devices>Transfer Purchases.
    You can then listen to it on your computer.

  • HT3951 When I download audio books from the library why can't Isee the files in itunes. All of the chapters do not transfer.

    When I download audio books from the library I can't find them in my itunes files.  All of the chapters do not transfer to my itouch even though they all were downloaded.

    I finally figured it out!  On the book page of itunes I went to preferences and then import settings and changed the settings from aac to mp3 and when I went back to the page there was my itouch and clicked on it and then books and there were all my books and files! deleted 3 chapters that were greyed out and transfered them again and it worked.  Thank you for your help.

    You cannot redownload audiobooks at all.
    They will only be where you put them.

  • I have downloaded a Audio Book from Itunes Store, but rencently i have had to reinstall windows, is there any way to re-download the audio book from Itunes, i know that the audio books are one time downloads, but is there any way to get the audio book

    I have downloaded a Audio Book from Itunes Store, but rencently i have had to reinstall windows, is there any way to re-download the audio book from Itunes, i know that the audio books are one time downloads, but is there any way to get the audio book back as i have already paid for it once and i would not like to pay for it twice.

    If you haven't got a backup copy and if it's still in the store then you can try contacting iTunes support and see if they will grant you a re-download (there is no guarantee that they will) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

  • HT1473 How to I put an audio book from my computer onto my iPod touch4

    Hi, I got an audio book from my library and want to put it onto my iPod but I'm not sure how to.
    I downloaded the book onto my computer
    It's an odm file if that helps
    And the website said it was compadable with iPods
    But when I hook my iPod up to the computer and view its "files and folders" then drop the file in nothing happens. It's the same if I try to drop it any where else.
    Srry about spelling

  • When i delete an audio book from my computer it does not delete the book from my Iphone. it seems to be deleting the name from the computer but not the content. this has just started happening since the last itune progam updated. the result is i have

    I record audio books from my library onto my old iPhone. I download the book from Overdrive to my computer. I connect the Iphone to the computer and transfer the audio-book to the iPhone.  When I am done listening to the book i delete it from the iPhone by connecting it to the computer and doing a manual sync. this worked fine until the last i-tunes update on my computer. Now when the iPhone is connected and i tell the computer to delete a book it is only deleting the name of the book on the computer it is not deleting the book from the phone. The next time I connect the phone to the computer the program does not show the book in the phone but it is still in the phone.  I have no more room on my phone to get any new books on it.
    Does anyone know how to fix this? Please

    You are correct.  Syncing should transfer any purchased media, including videos, from your device to your iTunes library provided your computer is authorized for the Apple ID used to make these purchases.  You mentioned that you have uninstalled iTunes before, but if you didn't follow this guide exactly, uninstalling iTunes and all of its components in the order specified, it may not have been successful so you should try again:  Windows XP or Windows Vista/7.
