Audio books show every chapter

Im having real trouble with my audio books, they show up fine in Itunes but when I go to audiobooks in my 160Gb Classic it shows every chapter of every book on the main screen, not just the one tile for each book (a nightmare to scroll thought every chapter of the previous books if you want to get to a book at the bottom of the list)
this is after iv converted them from mp3>m4a>m4b so they are all in the right format.

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.

  • Audio Book shows in itunes but when synced with ipod it appears as music

    After an awful lot of time and fustration I have finally worked out how to get itunes to show Audio Books as Audio Books not music, I transfered 2 Audio books to itunes both in exactly the same way and both show as Audio Books in itunes. I sync my ipod and 1 Audio Book shows up as and Audio Book but the other has reverted back to Music. How? and Why? Argh!

  • Audio book has no chapter headings

    Downloaded "Walden".
    It appears in iTunes as Part 1 and Part 2.
    No chapter headings.
    No way to navigate through eleven+ hours.
    Imagine a CD with no song titles.
    Think of a city with no street signs.
    Is this universal?
    Any help?

    Glad you got the Audiobook sorted out. Audible.com seems to have a really good model for iTunes and iPod integrated audiobooks, as well. I've been using their service for quite some time, and highly recommend it.
    In iTunes, click your iTunes menu and select Preferences. Click the Playback tab. If 'Crossfade playback' is selected, go ahead and de-select that option and click OK.

  • HT203167 I purchased an audio book, shows up in my iTunes, but then can't find it.

    I tried to download it again, and the warning comes up that I have already purchased this item, "Do you want to purchase it again?"  So they KNOW I already purchased it!  Why can't I just download it again?  It is still available.

    Audiobooks are curently a one-time only download - I believe that they are all supplied to Apple by audible.com, so I assume that it's them who are requiring the one-time only download. If you don't still have it on your computer nor 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

  • Audio book chapters mixed up

    On my iTouch my current audio book shows 9 chapters with really odd track times like 23 min 17 min etc The book is many hours long.
    On iTunes it says 5 chapters
    To top that the book has many chapters as I'm on 51 now.
    nothing matches at all. If I forget my spot when I go back the numbers on the iTouch it makes no sense. It will be chapter 35 the iTouch will say it is the second of five, but it shows 9 tracks and the first two only add up to 30 minutes
    There is no way to tell where you are, if you change apps.

    Thank you for taking the time and trouble to reply, Santo!
    I tried your suggestion, but it didn't seem to help, but then I noticed something that I hadn't noticed before. Half of the discs were titled "Disc XXX" and the other half were titled "Disk XXX". (Notice the spelling of "Disc" vs. "Disk".) Once I made the spelling uniform, everything was fine.
    Thanks again!

  • Audio books not appearing in iPod list

    I have an 80gb 5g.
    I recently purchased an audio book from iTunes and downloaded to my library. The book appears in the directory tree list under audiobooks and when I sync the ipod the audiobook item is also in the directory tree under "Devices".
    However the Audiobook tab does not appear in the Summary on the RH window in iTunes and does not appear on the iPod as a heading "Audiobooks" To access the audiobook I have to scroll down the "artists" list - I find this rather strange.
    Anyone having the same problem - or am I missing something?

    I will go look to see if my audio book shows up like yours did.
    My issue sounds similar. I bought a book from itunes and downloaded it. I can listen to it on my laptop without an issue. When I move it to my 30G Video Ipod, it shows up in the AudioBook folder when I view that folder via the computer. However, when I disconnect the Ipod from the laptop, the audio book does not appear in the audio book folder.

  • Moving forward and backward in audio book chapters on M

    I have a MuVo TX FM and I can't figure out how to move back and forth between chapters in a audio book. The chapter numbers are shown on the display. How can I skip chapters or go back?

    THere are two ways to ff/rw within a track... see if one works better than the other.
    While the track is playing, you can either;
    A) press and hold the rw/ff button.
    or
    B) Press the select (center) button once. This will bring up the track's progress bar. From here you can move around within the track by using the touch wheel (just like you're adjusting the volume). I find this to be more accurate when trying to find a specific location.
    Good luck.
    Cheers!

  • InDesign CS6 thinks every chapter in my book is Chapter 1

    I created this document for a client more than a year ago, and he just now noticed a really odd bug in the last PDF rendered. Every chapter, starting with chapter 4, is being recognized as the first chapter. Previous PDF exports show all chapter numbers rendering correctly, but unfortunately I long ago overwrote the previous versions of the InDesign document. The attached screenshots should demonstrate the issue. The only changes made from the previous version to the new version were corrections to the text itself—minor punctuation issues, typographical errors, etc.—so I see no reason why this issue should be happening from one version to the next. Googling has so far gotten me nowhere. Does anyone have any idea what's going wrong?

    Try to select all chapters on the book panel and from flyout arrow select update numbering>update all numbers, then from book page panel click on synchronize button.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • My audio books that were bought through Itunes on my Iphone do not show up on my Itunes account.

    I bought audio books on my iphone, but they do not show up on my itunes account on my computer.  The books I purchased through the computer show up on my itunes account.  My phone is at it's max and I need to remove these books, but do not want to lose them.  Thank you for your assistance.

    This isn't completely coherent so I am not sure what is wrong other than some (al?) of your tracks have broken links.
    If you are browsing through iTunes you are not looking at files you are looking at data entries that point to files, with those locations being incorrect right now. 
    There isn't a file called iTunes media, there is a folder that should be in your iTunes folder called that.
    You mention something about external drives. I presume one is for your Time Machine backup but is the other one used for iTunes?  If so, what do you keep there?

  • Hi, I have purchased an audio book on iTunes from an iMac and it does not show up on the cloud so I can't download it on my iPhone. Does anyone know why and how I can proceed to transfer the audio book purchase?

    Hi
    I have purchased an audio book from iTunes with my iMac.
    Now I wanted to listen to it on my iPhone so I proceeded to transfer the purchase and looked for the book in the purchased section of the store in the iTunes on my iPhone but it did not show up.
    Does anyone know why and how I can transfer the audio book purchased on my iPhone so I can listen while away from the desk?
    Thank you,
    Sanya

    Can you find the audio book by using the Search feature on the iPod?
    Do you have the right boxes checked to sync the audio book to the iPod?
    iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod
    Note you have to check the boxes in Books pane for the iPod in iTunes to sync books in general and another box to sync Audio Books.
