Audiobook doesn't show up in Audiobook section on ipod

my audiobook is on my ipod, but it wont show up in the audioook section of my ipod, only by going to artist and looking it up from there. how can i make it show up in the audiobook section?

This seems to be a common problem since ITunes has plenty of audiobooks now available ending in m4p which doesn't go into the Audiobooks on the Ipod. Hopefully they'll get around to repairing this bug but in the meantime, I've created a playlist in music called "audiobooks" to hold the audiobooks that are reading as songs. Messy but better than nothing

    Hi all, I bought a copy of Leon on my iPad 2.  Now that I've watched it I've deleted it, however it doesn't show in the purchased section of iTunes?  Why not?  If I want to watch again do I need to repurchase?  Thanks!

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Redownloading of movies is only available in the US at this time, even then not all movie studios are allowing their content to be redownloaded.

  • Audiobooks no longer show up as Audiobooks in my library

    I purchased a few audiobooks last week, to listen to at the gym. I sync'd, and went off to the gym, to find that my audiobooks weren't on my iPhone anymore. Sigh.
    I get home, and notice that the "Audiobooks" category in my library doesn't show up.
    ... huh?
    Upon further inspection, I can see the files listed in the library, just not as audiobooks (they look like regular songs). "Get Info" tells me they are .m4b files, which should be correct ... right?
    How do I get these to show up as Audiobooks again?
    Thanks!

    Yep... M4B is for books unless you get them from Audible in which case I believe they are .AA
    First, check Pref->General and make sure Audiobooks are checked.
    On the off chance your sig is wrong and you are using Leopard, the easiest thing would be to restore your library to a day when you remember the audiobooks being there.
    Failing that, my first suggestion would be to delete all your audiobooks from the music portion of your library, assuming they are showing up there now rather than in the audiobook section. Don't delete the files, just the library reference.
    Try adding them back after that.
    If that doesn't work, I'd suggest dragging your library files to your desktop temporarily and restarting itunes just to see if they show up then. If not, you still have the library files you can move back because re-adding all that album art is a PIA so no sense making grief unnecessarily.
    If no joy, then try trashing the plist files.
    Still no joy, trash iTunes and reinstall.
    Hope that helps...I use Audiobooks a lot so will be very interested in which, if any, of these steps solved the problem, so please post back.

  • TS4223 In the iCloud column of my iTunes television section, it lists my shows as "ineligible" and doesn't show them at all on my iPod classic. Please help!

    In the iCloud column of my iTunes television section, it lists my shows as "ineligible," and on my iPod Classic, won't show that I have any television shows. Can someone help, please?

    kinmdchaney,
    The solution to this thread should also fix your situation.
    Here they are layed out for you. Try these in order until your issue is resolved:
    1. Reset the Device:
    Hold the power button and the home button down until the device shuts off,  then power it back on and see if the problem is resolved.
    2. Put the device in DFU mode:
    Connect the device to iTunes
    Hold both the power button and the home button down simultaneously
    After 10 seconds, release the power button but leave the home button pressed
    iTunes should then recognize that the device has entered DFU mode and ask to restore.
    3. Put the device into recovery mode:

    Have you already tried these recommendations but to no avail?
    4. Try draining your device and charge it back up for about 10 minutes or more, then try step 2 or 3 again.
    I hope this helps you out.
    Sincerely,
    ~Lt. Leviathan

  • On itunes on my computer I put all my songs into the right albums and cover art on the albums but it doesn't show up that way on my ipod

    On itunes on my computer I took the time to sort my songs put them by the correct artists and albums and got all the cover art for it but when i go to put it that way on my iPod it doesn't work that way? Why is it showing multiple albums for the same album and no cover art for some albums and unknown artists for the artist? It says differently on Itunes on my computer.

    Hi adtsalmon,
    You can only watch the movie on the device you rented it on. Here's a snippet from the Apple Support site (italics mine):
    If you download a rented movie on your computer: You can transfer it to a device such as your Apple TV (1st generation), iPhone, iPad, or iPod if it’s a standard-definition film (movies in HD can only be watched on your computer, iPad, iPhone 4 or later, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV). Once you move the movie from your computer to a device, the movie will disappear from your computer's iTunes library. You can move the movie between devices as many times as you wish during the rental period, but the movie can only exist on one device at a time.
    If you download a rented movie on your iPhone 4 or later, iPad, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV: It is not transferable to any other device or computer.
    Here's the link to the Movie Rentals FAQs site FYI:

    Hope this helps!

    Hello, My daughter's ipod version 6.1.6 shows that there should be 800 songs on her device. We plugged into the pc and the itunes menu showed this but when you go to the ipod itself and access the information that is on the ipod in the About section on the device it shows that it has only 197 songs on it. so what do i do to get the 800 back onto the ipod. thanks for the help

  • I updated my 3GS to iOS5, but when i double tap the home button, it doesn't show the camera app, just the ipod controls?

    I badly need help, i just updated my 3GS to iOS5, but i don't see any difference, i don't have the new features that they're talking about. When i double tap the home button, it just shows the iPod controls and no camera app shows up.

    My iPhone 3GS is still on iOS3 but I think you could already change what double tapping the Home button can do before iOS5, by tapping "Settings" -> "Home".  That may have changed in iOS5 but I don't think it should have.

  • Is there any way to download all previously purchased  audiobooks and tv shows after a complete dataloss

    Is there any way to download all previously purchased audiobooks and tv shows after a complete dataloss, my ipod is not updated and I have lost everything?
    Thanks

    Chris, I certainly don't mind additional questions and postings.
    I believe there are many issues with Apple Loops and Logic that need to be resolved and people need to be aware of that. Unfortunately, in opposite to the old "german" version of Logic , there's no lifetime tech support, you can't even call and ask the question after 60 days , which isn't right for a professional software of this level, especially considering the fact that many things still remain vague in Logic even for developers and tech support people!( believe me, I've called and asked!)
    Issues like that need to be resolved over the phone with the company, period!
    One thing I also learned over the years as a Mac OSX user, if something doesn't work, don't mess with it. Delete your drive and re-install everything. This is very frustrating , I know, but unfortunately this is the only way to deal with OSX issues, if you got a problem with your system, don't try to fix it. It's never gonna be the same again. I know , it's off the topic a little bit, but if your content is missing from the system files, before installing your new Logic, back up your important files, wipe up your drive and clean install Mac OSX , run updates and then install the Logic. Most likely , everything will be in it's place, at least 90% or more. I gave up trying to make two system in my house to be compatible 100% , but it's OK if they're 90% or more identical. I spent enormous amount of time trying to find out what's missing and where, I visited most of the forums and there's no clean answer.

  • I bought an audiobook and it downloaded to my ipad but not my Gen4 itouch, it doesn't show an audiobook section under purchases, how do I do this?

    I am really upset.
    I really love my itouch but anything beyond using it as a daytimer, camera and note keeper is shear torture.
    I post a question, I have to repost it multiple times.
    I search for a solution to a problem, such as, "How do I download an audiobook" - I get a web page of all the things that itouch can do, but no instructions on how to do them.
    So here's my latest problem.
    Yes I am repeating myself again!
    I bought an audiobook and it downloaded to my iPad, but, not my gen4 itouch, it doesn't show an audiobook section under purchases in iTunes, how do I do this?
    Does anyone out there know of a web site that just gives answers to apple questions? ( I don't need to know what it could do, I need to know how to do it!)
    Thank you for your help!
    Ken

    Have you checked to see whether it's in the Music app (iTunes on the iPad it just the store, it doesn't contain your downloaded and synced content) ? When you have audiobooks on an iPad you will get an Audiobooks option under the More button at the bottom of the Music app.
    Note that audiobooks are currently a one-time only download from the store (so they won't appear in the Purchased tab for re-downloading), so you may want to copy it to your computer's iTunes via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases so that you can take a backup copy of it - it should copy over to the Books part of your iTunes library.

  • Syncing iphone and can't seem to transfer audiobooks that i have put in a playlist.  Sync menu doesn't show all playlists.  Help

    syncing iphone and can't seem to transfer audiobooks that i have put in a playlist.  Sync menu doesn't show all playlists.  Help

    I have the same problem with podcast playlists.  When I go to the music window in my iPhone devices section, the playlists I have created on my macbook pro in iTunes do not appear as an option to sync with the iPhone.  I know some web radios streams, like the BBC, won't transfer because of compatibility issues, but the playlists of podcasts that I have created consist entirely of podcasts downloaded from the podcasts section on the iTunes Music Store.  They used to show up and sync properly before I upgraded to OS 5.1.1, but now they don't.
    Does anyone have a fix and am I right in surmising that the cause is a glitch in OS 5.1.1?

  • Podcasts showing up as Audiobooks

    I just got a nano and tried synching some podcasts, audiobooks, and music to it, using iTunes. I configured my nano to include the "Podcasts" and "Audiobooks" menus on the main menu. Unfortunately, the podcasts are not displayed under the "Podcasts" menu, but under the "Audiobooks" menu, along with the audiobooks.
    At first I thought it was because I was using iPodderX to download the podcasts, then importing them into iTunes. I ended up trying to subscribe to a couple of the podcasts using iTunes (unfortunately, not all podcasts are not on iTMS), but they still show up under "Audiobooks" when they're synched to the nano.
    Does anyone know why this may be happening, and if there's a way to fix it?
    Thanks,
    Sergio

    Is there a way to see the content in iTunes and delete manually? Or am I stuck needing to 'restore' (which I think means deleting everything)?
    There is, but it requires you to manually manage your iPod's contents by enabling the Manually manage music and videos option from under the iPod's Summary tab in iTunes.
    Once you have done that you can click the small black triangle next to your iPod in the left hand pane of iTunes to open up a submenu of content. Select music, movies, podcasts, etc to bring up a list of that type of content that is currently on your iPod. Highlight the desired content and hit the Delete key to remove it.  Here is more information on manually managing your iPod's contents in iTunes.
    Managing content manually on iPhone, iPad, and iPod
    Otherwise, if you want to continue with having your iPod automatically sync content from iTunes you must configure your iPod to no longer sync the content you dont want on your iPod via the iPod's Music, Movies, Books, Podcasts configuration tabs that are accessible by selecting your iPod from under the Devices section in the left hand side bar of iTunes.

  • 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

  • I downloaded a WMA audiobook from library using Overdrive. It shows up on my Itunes listing of Audiobooks on my Ipod, but on the actual Ipod it only shows up on Playlists. How do I get it to show up under Audiobooks?

    I downloaded a WMA audiobook from library using Overdrive. It shows up on my Itunes listing of Audiobooks on my Ipod, but on the actual Ipod it only shows up on Playlists.  It is marked as an audiobook in Options | Media Kind.  It is also marked to Remeber Position, but it does not do that. How do I get it to show up under Audiobooks and remember the position?  I have a 4th Gen Ipod running Ios5

    Check out the instructions for a work around on this post: https://discussions.apple.com/message/18702732#18702732
    This worked for me.  I would like to see Apple fix this issue, as it isn't very fun to have to do this for every downloaded book.

  • IBook doesn't show up in the Textbook section

    Hi Folks,
         I recently had my iTextbook approved through the iBookStore (Physics: Fundamentals and Problem Solving), but noticed that it doesn't show up under the Textbook --> Science and Nature section, even when I choose "See All."  Does anyone know how to get this moved to the correct section?  Thanks much!
    Dan

    So I've been waiting 10 days now for my iBooks Author textbook to appear. The upload went fine, but as of today, nothing appears on title search.
    I've noticed some folks mentioning they were approved through the iBookstore. Does that approval come in an emai? I see no status indicators in iTunes Connect to check on progress of releasing the title.
    Can anyone shove me in the right direction?
