Audiobook chapters no longer grouped by book on iPod classic

My new iPod classic arrived today. When I synced it to iTunes 7.4.2 I found that the contents of the Audiobooks category were no longer grouped by title. Instead, all of the files were simply alphabetically sorted. So all of the "Chapter 1"s from all of the books appear together in the list. And they play back that way, too—going from Book A's Chapter 1 to Book B's. This basically makes it impossible to listen to an audiobook.
Also, "Audiobooks" no longer appears in the list of Genres, though it did on my old iPod.
All of my audiobooks are .m4b files and show up in the Audiobooks category (not in the Audiobooks genre under Music) in iTunes.
Has anyone else seen this? Any idea what's going on?

See the first section of Corrupt iPod classic. If the media files aren't visible in the hidden folders then it may still be possible to use an unerase/undelete or other file recovery tool.

  • Syncing Address Book to IPod Classic

    Problem: Syncing Address Book to my iPod Classic 80 (using iMac, bought new Dec. 2007)
    I have tried again and again to sync my Address Book to the iPod; with always the same weird results.
    1. When I sync my iPod to the Address Book, only seven contacts of 166 appear on the iPod - THIS is the problem.
    2. On the iTunes Contacts page I have checked; ‘Sync Address Book’ and ‘All Contacts’.
    3. During syncing the window states that it is syncing contacts.
    4. In the list of ‘Selected Groups’ (I always have ‘All Contacts’ checked) groups appear that I have deleted in Address Book.
    5. I used Bento in the past, and didn’t like it; I have moved Bento from the application folder to the Trash. Could Bento be interfering somehow?
    6. On Preferences I have tried vCard 3.1 and 2.0, neither worked - 3.1 is currently selected.
    7. In Address Book, I did an archive backup. And then restored with the archive, no difference, with the sync. The restore worked fine in Address Book.
    8. As a test, in Address Book I deleted one of the seven contacts, that do appear on the iPod (see 1. above); then synced; it still appears on my iPod - the contact that won’t die.
    9. Syncing of Calendars works fine.
    10. I have tried resetting the iPod. Still no difference after syncing, still only seven contacts appear, including the deleted one.
    11. Where is the data for the Address Book stored on the computer? If I deleted all the data files in Address Book, would that help? Would the files rebuild themselves with the restore archive?
    12. The iPod software is up to date.
    13. Resetting the iPod did not change anything.
    14. I did the sync manually - syncing only Contacts, still only seven contacts.
    What can I do? Any ideas would be appreciated. Using the iPod for contacts would very useful - I really do not want to buy another device or a cell phone (PDA) that also stores addresses.
    Thanks, Diane

    OK - Now we have some progress. I did as suggested and 'Reset Sync History', The seven contacts on the iPod are gone! However, it still is not syncing up my contacts. I reset the iPod, tried manually, restarted the computer, etc. - it didn't help. Thank you for the suggestion.
    Thank You, Diane

  • Audio books on iPod classic

    I have not been able to put an audio book (from a CD) onto my iPod classic.  It uploads the tracks just fine, but treats them like regular music tracks.  There is nothing in the audio books section on my menu, but all 7 2-hour tracks of the book are nestled in among my music.  Any advice?

    Are the iPods configured to sync audiobooks from under their Books configuration tab in iTunes.  To check this tab, plug your iPod in and select it from under the Devices section in the left hand pane to bring yourself to the Summary tab.  Now locate the Books tab along the top and select it.  Here you can configure how and what audiobooks sync to your iPod. 
    If you do happen to make any changes to the iPods' configurations make sure to hit the Apply button in the lower right hand corner to update the changes to your device.

  • ITunes does not sync my contacts in Address Book to iPod classic

    Just as the title says.
    iTunes ver. 10.5
    Address Book ver. 6.1
    I bought my iPod classic in Apple Online Store last summer.

    same here, also iTunes 10.5,
    I heard it could  be a problem because of iCloud?

  • I cannot sync my contacts from iMac (Address Book) to iPod Classic since iTunes 11 has loaded.  Any advice please ?

    I cannot sync my Address Book contacts from iMac to my existing iPod Classic since iTunes 11 has loaded.  Any bright ideas please ?

    I'm having the same issue. I have an iPod Classic 120gb with 2.0.1 and iTunes 11.0.1 on an iMac running Mountain Lion 10.8.2.

  • All of my audiobooks do not show up on my actual ipod classic...help

    All of my audiobooks do not show up on my ipod all of the sudden......I have tried resetting and it does not help.

    This is a small...."Bug" I guess you could call it, in the ipods software where if you have songs by one artist and none of them have a album listed with them, they do not show up under "Artist".
    I forgot the exact workaround, but I think its something like if you give one song by the artist a album name (By rightclicking it in iTUnes, hitting get info and selecting the info tab) all the rest of the songs will now appear under artist on the ipod

  • How do you view books on IPod classic?

    How can you view pdf files on the IPod? I know about IPod Notes, but I am not trying to convert all of my .pdf books to .txt books, this would take forever, and I lose the photos that are incorporated in the books. (Is there a program for that??)

  • How long to restore 80 gig ipod classic?

    I followed the instructions for restoring my ipod but the process seems to be taking over an hour and still the 'restoring xxxx's ipod' message is displaying. The barber pole 'movement' (my computer is an imac) has stopped or frozen. Do I need to re-start this process or just wait it out?

    it should not take very long to restore. i would suggest restoring it on someone else's computer.

  • I can no longer download podcasts on my iPod classic.

    How do I do this without being able to install the ap?

    Have you checked to make sure the Sync Podcasts option is still set the way you want?
    Not sure what you mean by "installing the ap".

  • Why is it that Apple no longer offers games for the ipod classic?

    I just purchased an ipod classic and i just realized that I can't find any games for download on itunes. I also have an ipod nano and I know that Apple used to offer games for ipods other than the touch. Now they act like the touch is the only ipod that exists. I'm starting to think i should just return the ipod and go with a different brand of Mp3. My family has been telling me to get a Cowon and now I'm starting to wish i'd listened.
    Thanks a lot Apple. You might be getting this product back.

  • Books on iPod Classic?

    Although I'm not new to using an iPod (I have the 80GB Classic)for visual and audio files, I'm wondering whether I can transfer text files to the iPod (I have a number of drafts in MS Word). If so, what format will the iPod recognise and will I have to split the manuscripts?

    I'm wondering whether I can transfer text files to the iPod
    You can. Enable disk use for the iPod, and then transfer them to the iPod's Notes folder.
    what format will the iPod recognise
    Plain text and a few HTML tags.
    will I have to split the manuscripts
    Yes, if they contain more than 4000 characters. A maximum of 1000 will be displayed.

  • Audio on ipod classic has vibrato or echo, particularly in audiobooks

    An audiobook that was downloaded to my husband's ipod classic and my iphone4 sounds unclear (with a slight echo or vibrato) in the ipod, but sounds fine on my iphone.  Any suggestions as to cause (I re-downloaded the audiobook into the ipod, but no change.)  Thanks for any help.

    Just found a similar post and changed the audiobook setting from slower to normal as instructed and this did the trick!

  • HT4623 Trouble transferring audiobook from my computer to my ipod classic.

    Okay.  I puchased an audiobook.  It will not transfer to my ipod classic.  When I connect my ipod the message tells me that my device is up to date.  I tried to deauthorize and reauthorize my computer.  Still won't transfer.  The sync command scares me.  If I use that the meeage says that it will erase everything.  Help.

    There is. It is here:

  • Hi, i have problems with audiobooks, chapters from diffrent books stand togheter, the book is mixed with another book, does someone know how to fix this

    If i synchronise one book there is no problem,
    when I sinchronise more books then chapters from diffrent books stand togheter.
    In I-tunes the books are not mixed.
    In my  ipod classic the books are mixed.
    I use the latest version from i-tunes
    I work with windows vista pro NL

    The easiest thing to do is to make a playlist for each book. I have about ten audiobooks on my iPod and have the same problem with everything being put together in one long list. The iPod does not treat each book as it does an album by grouping each audiobook in one folder, it just lumps them all together in one long list.

  • After I updated my iPhone 5 to iOS7 I can no longer see the individual chapters when playing my audio books.  Also I can't edit and copy multiple text messages.

    After I updated my iPhone 5 to iOS7 I can no longer see the individual chapters when playing my audio books.  Also I can no longer edit a and copy multiple text messages like before. Is there a way to do these things I am missing?

    Not only can i not see the individual chaptes -- apparently like you and everyone else suffering through the "improved" iOS7 -- when my audiobook repeats a "file" within  chapter, which it sometimes does, I cannot get "inside" the chapter and move forward to where I'm supposed to be.
    Whatever happened to "if it ain broke.......???
