Audiobook purchased is not showing up in iTunes

I purchased an audiobook on my iPad and it is not showing up on my iPhone or my MAC computer. I went to iTunes on my home computer and I see the receipt for the purchase but it doesn't show up in my library? Any ideas? Thanks.

Thanks Neil. I was told I should purchase/download audiobooks to my computer first if I want them to sync to my other devices (apparently there's some glitch with audiobooks). I wasn't aware of this but I just tried it and downloaded it to my computer and now it shows up on my iPhone, etc.. Thanks.

  • Audiobooks mp3 files not showing up in iTunes or on shuffle?

    I recently purchased some audio books that are mp3. They were a zip file, and I extracted the files, but they won't show up in iTunes. I attempted to just drage the files onto my shuffle (which appeared to work, as I received a "copying" message), but they aren't showing up there either. Help!

    Starting from scratch...
    Extract the files from the zipped folder. In Windows 7, right-click the zipped folder and select Extract All...
    You should be given an option about where you want to put the extracted files. If not, or it you need to move those files, the usual place to put them is in the Music/iTunes/iTunes Music folder. I suggest that you put audiobooks in a folder named Audiobooks (to keep things organised). You must move them before importing them into iTunes. If you move them afterwards, iTunes will lose them. If there is not currently an Audiobooks folder in iTunes, then create one. So looking into the folders, the path should be as follows:
    Music/iTunes/iTunes Music/Audiobooks/<artist name>/<album title>/ and then the individual MP3s.
    Once you have the MP3s where you want them, it should be possible to drag the folder into iTunes. Alternatively, in iTunes;
    so that you can then select Add Folder to Library;
    and simply navigate to the folder that has the audiobook files in and add.
    That's it. They are now in your iTunes Library.
    However, you will probably find that the files import into your iTunes as Music files, and you may want to change them to Audiobooks. To do that, in iTunes, find the files you have just imported, highlight all of them and then select File/Get Info/Options>Media Kind and change the Media Kind to Audiobooks.

  • Purchases do not show up on iTunes

    I just got my first MacBook and iPod Touch and was excited to start using iTunes, but I made several purchases on iTunes and they do not show up on my computer. I also cannot find a way to download them from iTunes. I must be an idiot because this is supposed to be so intuitive. Help?

    Hello Dianna5,
    The article linked below details how to go about downloading your past purchases to your iPhone.

  • Purchased songs not showing up in iTunes or iPod

    I have purchased many songs from iTunes, both on my computer and on my iPhone over the past year or so.  However, only some of them are showing up in iTunes and iPod.  I have receipts still from iTunes stating that I paid and purchased them and they were even in my library and on my iPod for some time but I went to listen to a couple of songs yesterday and couldn't find them anywhere; both browsing for the song and the artist.  I went to my computer to see if they where there to re-sync but they were not in my library either.  I'm not sure what happened to them as I haven't done anyting different.  I tried restarting my iPhone and, closing and reopening iPod and even rebooting the computer, still nothing.  I have red some threads stating that you should change the language to French, did that, still nothing.  I'm not sure what the issue is but I have proof that I paid for the songs but they are no longer around.  I'm very frustrated!  Any help would be great.
    I've also been experiencing issues with updating the software.  Sometimes I get a timed out error which is odd since I have an internet connection with no issues.  It gets all the way to the end and won't complete.  I try two or three times and give up and then the next day I may try again and it will work without issues.  I have the iPhone 4 and have software update 4.3.2 but have not successfully done the 4.3.3 yet as I keep getting the update error and it's driving me insane!
    Any help would be greatly appreciated! 
    Thanks!
    Stephanie

    on the computers itunes click on the iTunes Store.
    then click Purchased under quick links on the right.
    you can then select Not In My Library and download anything you're missing from there.

    Have you tried the 'Purchased' option in the top right corner of the Store window in iTunes

    Of course it always works, what are you talking about.
    I appreciate that re-downloading is only available in the US and then only with certain content. However content that cannot be re-downloaded is not offered for purchase on the Apple TV.

  • The content purchased on iPad is not showing on Mac iTunes

  • Hi, I loaded an iTunes card and bought an audiobook a few weeks back! I was unable to download it because my wifi was down, my wifi has just been fixed but now my audiobook purchase is not available but the cash has been taken? Any ideas how to solve this

    When I use find file http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/30073/find-file (which does tend to find files that "Finder" can't), it's not coming up with any other itunes library files that have been modified in the past week, which I know it would have been - unfortunately, I don't have a very recent backup of the hard drive.  It would be a few months old so it wouldn't have the complete library on it....any ideas?  I'm wondering if restarting the computer might help but have been afraid to do so in case it would make it harder to recover anything...I was looking at this thread https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4211589?start=0&tstart=0 in the hopes that it might have a helpful suggestion but it's definitely a different scenario.

  • Purchased item not showing in iTunes

    I purchased a song on iTunes the other day and it's not showing in my iTunes now. I've searched by title, artist, genre, I've tried looking in recently purchased items and it's not there. It shows in my purchase history and if I try to download it again I'm told I've already downloaded and would I like to "download it again?" Any ideas?

    Either (1) it did not download in the first place, or (2) it did download but then got deleted, moved, or renamed. If you have done enough searching to determine that it is not number 2, then use the Contact page to report to Apple that it did not download correctly. They will arrange a replacement or refund.

  • My itunes tv and movie purchases are not showing in my video app

    my itunes tv and movie purchases are not showing in my video app, iphone 5s, and this has happened since ios 8 was installed

    Were they previously downloaded/synced to your iPhone, and if they were have you got them in the TV Shows and Movies parts of your computer's iTunes library. When you update via a computer the device is backed up, the iOS version is updated, and your content is then restored to the device - but none of your iTunes downloads are included in the actual backup (just your documents, notes, calendars, app settings etc), instead it looks to get the apps, music, films, TV shows from your iTunes library.
    If the 'show all' setting isn't showing them then what country are you are in, you are logged in with the same account that you bought them with, you haven't changed countries since buying them and they aren't hidden : iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases ?

  • Purchased music is not showing up on iTunes 11

    I am running Windows 7 and am having trouble with iTunes. I have updated my iTunes to 11 and my purchases are not showing up in the Library. When I do a search, the music and apps show up in the iTunes folder. I've tried re-launching iTunes and restarting my computer to no avail. Any music I do import from a CD does show up in my Library. Is there a fix to this or am I going to to have to reinstall iTunes to my computer? Please help if you can, thanks...

    Figured it out, looked for the individual songs and "draged" them from the folder to the iTunes library.

  • I am not a knowledgeable user - have what may be a stupid question!  I just purchased a TV show series on iTunes and downloaded all episodes for the season.  But I believe i want them on my iCloud instead of my laptop.  How do I transfer them or dupl

    I am not a knowledgeable user - have what may be a stupid question!  I just purchased a TV show series on iTunes and downloaded all episodes for the season.  But I believe i want them on my iCloud instead of my laptop.  How do I transfer them to the Cloud or duplicate on the iCloud?

    You can't transfer any purchase to the cloud yourself, whether a TV programme/series will show in the cloud for redownloading in the future depends upon what country that you are in (TV programmes can't be redownloaded in all countries), whether you move countries (you can't redownload purchases made in another country) and if the rights-holder keeps them in the store (they occasionally remove their items).
    As you bought it on your laptop then you could turn Settings > iTunes & App Store > Videos (under 'show all') 'on' on your iPad and it might show in the Videos app on it with a cloud icon against it for streaming/redownloading (it might also show in the Purchased tab in the iTunes Store app for refownloading whether or not you turn that 'on') - but that depends upon your country and only whilst it remains in your country's store. Similarly if you delete it from your laptop and tick the 'show iTunes in the cloud purchases' tick box on the Store tab in Edit > Preferences it might show in the TV Shows part of your library for redownloading (and whether or not you tick that it might show in the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage for redownloading).
    But you should be taking a backup copy of it, and anything else that you download from the stores, there is no guarantee that you will be able to redownload any item.

  • HT1918 I have Unknown Itunes charges on my credit card.  I need help to identify the purchases. It does not show in my Itunes purchase history but only one my credit card statement.

    I have some unknown Itunes charges on my credit card that I have been busting my brains on getting an answer.  I HATE not getting to talk to a real person!!!!  Same amount Charges show three consecutive days but does NOT show on my itunes purchase history. Suggestions greatly appreciated. A hammer to smash the computer would help too.

    If they don't show on your purchase history on your account then have you have you added or changed your credit card details on your account - when you do then a small temporary store holding charge may be applied to check that the details are correct and valid, which should disappear within a few days) ? If not then you could contact iTunes Support via this page and see if they can see what they are for : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Audiobooks are not currently part of the content that can be re-downloaded. You should sync your audiobooks to other devices via iTunes on your computer. If your audiobook didn't download correctly or has other problems, select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History using your computer.
    To copy the audiobooks from one computer to another, use homesharing, put them on a memory stick or use your Dropbox if your computers are networked.
