Audiobook handling broken in iTunes 10

I know this subject has been handled a group of times before, but most of the answers seem to be more appropriate for earlier versions of itunes. I haven't found 10 discussed specifically.
I have been importing audiobooks from various sources, ripped CDs, downloads, etc. Before 10, I would then convert the files to AAC and then run Make Bookmarkable. As this process proceeded, you could see the files disappear from the music folder and they would appear in the audiobook folder. Now Make Bookmarkable is broken by 10, and I have tried to use the things listed (Options - media type - audiobook) that others have described. I have tried trashing the files and reimporting the AAC files to itunes. No joy.
Does anyone have any other ideas on what I should try? TIA

Never mind. I searched a little farther and realized that I was clicking audiobook on the info page rather than the options page. Makes all the difference.

Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past music purchases, delete the broken tracks from your iTunes library, go to the iTunes Store home page, click the Purchased link from the Quick Links section in the right-hand column, then select Music and Not on this computer. You should find download links for your tracks there.
If the problem persists, or that facility is not yet available in your region, contact the iTunes Store support staff through the report a problem links in your account history, or via Contact Support.

How can I download again the audiobook I purchased in Itunes a while ago?

You cannot. You buy one download. It is your responsibility to backup your purchase.

Why can I not see audiobook purchases on my itunes purchases?

where do I find my audiobook purchases on itunes?

On the right hand side of the itunes store - there is a link under "quick links" to "purchases" where I can find all the books and music I have purchased through itunes. That way if I have loaded something from itunes using my phone - I can then go and download it onto my PC later (or that is how I use it).
BUT - while music, movies, TV shows, Apps & Books are available for download - there is no audiobooks option. So, I have these purchases of audiobooks through itunes, but I cannot find them in my purchases history. I have tried to manually sync these audiobook purchases from my phone to my PC, but it would not let me. And the last time I tried to sync my audiobook library between my phone and my PC - (loading these new purchases from phone to PC) it wiped my phone purchases and I had to go back to apple with all the purchase receipts to get them back.
I would like to be able to load audiobooks purhcased on my itunes account onto my home and work PC from the itunes purchased database from my account (or from my phone if someone can recommend a safe way to move the file).
Thanks for asking.

"Covert High Bitrate to AAC 128K...." for iPod Shuffle Broken in iTunes 7

I store all my music in Apple lossless for home listening, then use the covert to AAC 128K when laoding my shuffle...great feature, the reason I went the iTunes/shuffle route. This worked good, although a little slow in 6. It is now broken in iTunes 7, it takes an hour per song - not usable. Any ideas on this?

It seems to me that you've ended up somewhere between AIFF and AAC. Because WMP supports buttloads of formats, it will play the files, the iPod is much more finicky.
There are two settings on the importing tab preferences pane: one that chooses the file format, the other at what bit rate. Simply select AAC and 128 or higher and reimport music from CD's. I would recommend deleting the AIFF versions BEFORE you reimport however, so you or iTunes don't get confused as to which one is which since the titles will all appear exactly alike.
Good Luck.

HT203167 I deleted an audiobook out of my iTunes library. Now I have to pay again to download it. Is this the only way?

I deleted an audiobook out of my iTunes library. Now I have to pay again to download it. Is this the only way?

Have you checked to see if the deleted file is still in the recycle bin. If so you can restore it and add it back into the library. If it is on an iPod or iOS device it could be transferred back to your library. As Steve says audiobooks from the iTunes store are currently supplied on a one time only basis, unlike most other purchases. Hopefully the position with audiobooks will change too over time. In the meantime you could Contact Support and explain the circumstances surrounding your error. They may be able to grant an exception and resupply your missing audiobook.

Why can I not add the audiobooks I purchased from itunes to my ipod

Why can I not add the audiobooks I purchased from itunes to my ipod. My ipod is 60 gb version 1.3. I think a 5th generation

Kristy,
Is your iPod configured to sync audiobooks? To check, plug your iPod in and when it appears in iTunes locate it's audibooks tab and make sure it is set to them.

Audiobooks handling in itunes 8

Love the itunes 8 now handles audiobooks copied from CDs. You can now just change the media to audiobooks and it will sit in the right place, no longer suffering it in the music library. It also collates tracks into book file, fantastic! Only been waiting a year for this change. However when syncing with my ipod 5th gen the collated books return to track numbers! do I need to rename all my tracks or is this just a glitch to be fixed at some point in the future?

Hmm, I didn't know that iTunes 8 would collate chapter tracks into books. Still, I'm not sure I would like that. Apple will need to update the firmware on 80/160GB "old" iPod Classics before I would try it. I much prefer to collate the tracks myself into much larger larger files that split at around 8 to 9 hours.
Anyway, for a book series, I like to use the iTunes tags as follows:
Album Mame -> Series name
Album Artist -> Book name
Disc # -> Book number in the series.
Track # -> Book part for books longer than 8 hours.
When I sort on Artist (Author) The books in a series get properly sorted by the Disc # (Book #). If I instead sort on Album, the books in a series are sorted alphabetically by the Album Artist (book name) which is not desired. The sorting field selected in iTunes in each series smart playlists I've created seems to be maintained on the iPod.
Enjoy life!

How do restore the podcasts, audiobooks, etc., in the itunes 12 sidebar? I can only see one at a time. grrr.

I've updated to iTunes 12.0.1.26, and the sidebar library list has disappeared. It looks like all I can see is one item at a time in the list. Either Music OR Podcasts OR Audiobooks, but not all of them as a list. This is so frustrating. I don't want to see one thing at a time, I want to see everything I have.
Is there any way to restore it to the previous view?

Thanks for taking a stab at it: that didn't prove to be the problem. That option in the settings for tabbed browsing was not checked.
I may be a bit behind the times: I am used to tabbed browsing showing all the tabs it possibly can, instead of just the last one. Sometimes it won't even show the last tab: I can have 15 tabs open, and not see a single tab. I've been confused by this into closing a window with lots of tabs open, because it looks like a single page-window.
My main problem with the tab-bar flashing to the end of the row is that it means a great deal more mouse-clicking around to browse.
I haven't tried installing the latest beta. Maybe that would fix the problem.

Audiobook download plays in itunes but not in ipod

Hi, I downloaded a 5 part audiobook that got interrupted and then I got the rest of it next go. It plays fine from my itunes library. I synced it to my ipod and it shows up fine but when I select the track and click the center button it trys to start then rejects itself back to the main menu. I have tried to select it from different playlists (audiobooks, artist, purchased... )and it does the same thing. I did the reset thing where you hold down the center and bottom buttons at the same time for twenty seconds, no luck. I tried restoring the unit back to it's original settings, no luck there . I have a hundred different books, tons of music and videos and podcasts that all work fine except this one recent download. Could someone please offer some advice ? Many thanks !

See if these help.

Only some of my audiobooks are available in itunes for syncing to iphone

I have 76 audiobooks in my itunes library. But only six of the are listed as available to be synced.
With iTunes 10.7 open, I plug in my iPhone 4S (iOS6).
I click on the iPhone under the iTunes "Devices" list to open up the sync preferences.
I click on "Books" to open the sync preferences for books.
I scroll down to the "Sync Audiobooks" section. When I choose "All Audiobooks" it says there are 76 books. But when I choose "Selected Audiobooks" it only gives me six books to choose from.
I would expect that when I choose "Selected Audiobooks" that it would show me the list of all 76 audiobooks and let me select which of these I would like to sync. Why does it limit my possible selections to only six of my 76 audiobooks?
I don't want to sync all 76 books. Too much storage space. I want to choose certain audiobooks and sync them. That would seem to be the point of a "Selected Audiobooks" sync option, correct? What am I doing wrong?
Yes, all the tracks of all 76 audiobooks are checked as "Audiobook" under "Media Kind" under "Options" under "Get Info". Almost all of them are unprotected drm-free mp3 files. Some are protected AAC. But there is nothing I can find that makes the six available choices unique in any way (the are not all AAC, or all single tracks, etc.). They are exactly like the other 70 books as far as I can tell.
Interestingly, I added one of the 70 missing books to a unique playlist, and then it showed up in the sync preferences as an additional option "Include Audiobooks from Playlists" which had previously not appeared as an option. So I guess a workaround would be to add the other 69 books to playlists? That is not a satisfactory solution.
I do use iTunes Match, but it is currently turned off.
Any help would be appreciated.

moabCowboy,
Is there a particular reason you are using an alias to repoint the iPhoto Library, instead of telling iPhoto to look directly to the library on the other drive?
If not, you can tell iPhoto to look at the iPhoto Library on the other drive directly by holding down the option key when you launch iPhoto.
The iPhone does require iPhoto 4.0.3 to sync photos from iPhoto to the iPhone.
If still not showing up to sync photos over, this article has additional troubleshooting steps for when iPhoto apps don't show up in iLife applications:
