I have trouble transferring audiobooks from Overdrive Media Console.

I have trouble transferring audiobooks from Overdrive Media Console. Sometimes the book does not transfer. Sometimes it winds up in music.

I agree that transferring audiobooks to an iPhone using Overdrive is very flaky. My biggest issue now is that when I do a transfer, about every 3rd or 4th segment doesn't transfer successfully. I have to go back and select those and transfer again and then they are out of order with no apparent way to put them in the correct order. So when I start listening to the book, I have to closely monitor when I am at the end of a part so that I can manually select the next part.
My latest transfer of a book with 14 parts placed 2 versions in Audiobooks with the order 5, 12, 1, 2, 3, 6, 8, 9, 10, 13, 14. (missing parts 4, 7, and 11)
When I went back to Overdrive and selected parts 4, 7, and 11 to transfer, my iPhone then had a playlist with the book with the order 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 13, 14, 4, 7, 11.
Crazy!!

Error 0x80004002 - when trying to transfer an audio book from OverDrive Media Console

I am getting this error message - Error 0x80004002 - when trying to transfer an audio book from OverDrive Media Console. It was working a couple of weeks ago. It keeps telling me to downloan iTune9.0.2 (or newer) but I have the most up to date version of iTunes. Also tells me the device is not connected, but it is.

The publisher of the book seems to have restricted copying of the book on to other devices. Contact the book distributor.

I downloaded audio books from overdrive media and my ipod nano 6th generation showed it was transferring why can't I find the audio books on my ipod?

I downloaded audio books from overdrive media and my ipod nano 6th generation showed it was transferring and now I can't find it on my Ipod where would it be?

The problem may have been in how you transfered it. You didn't go into much detail. Just be sure to follow the steps in the tutorial below. Note Paragraph 5.
Many libraries worldwide now use Overdrive Media Console, which comes in Mac an Windows versions http://www.overdrive.com/Software/omc . Some find the mobile device transfer process confusing. To load or delete a WMA or MP3 (Macs can only download MP3 books) audiobook onto an Apple mobile device see the "How to Transfer to a Portable Device" video in the guides at Step 7, then do the following.
1. For Windows versions, you must first do a security update of Windows Media Player (even though you won't be using it) using Internet Explorer at http://drmlicense.one.microsoft.com/indivsite .
2. Open iTunes, plug the mobile device into the computer USB port and open the Overdrive Media Console.
3. Highlight the mobile device in the left hand menu of iTunes and insure the "Manually manage music and videos" box is checked in the Summary Tab. If the mobile device storage is full, transfering will delete that portion of music necessary for the ebook.
4. Highlight the book you want to transfer in the Overdrive Media Console and click the Transfer Button. A window opens permitting you to click the boxes for parts of the book you wish to transfer.
5. After the book has been transfered, when you click the disclosure triangle (arrow) to the left of the iPod, iPhone, or iPad in the Device section of the left hand menu of iTunes, MP3 books will show up under the Music subsection and WMA books will show up in the Books subsection. Once the mobile device is disconnected from iTunes, MP3 books will show up in the Songs list of the mobile device and WMA books will show up in the Books list.
6. To remove a book from a mobile device plug the device into the USB port and open iTunes. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of your iPod, iPhone, or iPad in the Device section of the left hand menu of iTunes so that you can see the device’s subcontents. For an MP3 book select the Music subsection, right click on the book and choose Delete. For a WMA book, select the Book subsection, right click on the book and choose Delete.
7. The Overdrive Media Console Guided Tour (videos) is at http://www.overdrive.com/Solutions/Libraries/tour/MenuWelcome.html . The "Portable Devices" and "How to Transfer to a Portable Device" videos are there.
8. To find a nearby library for ebooks search http://search.overdrive.com . You can download the software, search for books and see tutorials without an account at the website of any library that uses Overdrive, however, you need a library card to download books. At this library site, for example, the software and guided tour are at the bottom of the left hand menu.

How to transfer book from overdrive media console to iTunes 11?

I've downloaded a book from my library using Overdrive.
The Overdrive media console video shows how to load the book into iTunes.
However, I cannot select iTunes as a destination for the download - iTunes launches when I go to the download selection window, but iTunes is not shown as an option (I can download directly into my iPods).
How can I load the book into iTunes so that I can manage which iPod, etc. that I want to carry it at any given time?

Do it for free on a PC running iTunes.
Do it for free on an older Mac capable of running Audion.
Conversion software (mostly commercial):
Switch (free basic version) - http://www.nch.com.au/switch/index.html - I'm not sure if this will do WMA
All2MP3 - http://download.cnet.com/All2MP3/3000-2140_4-190407.html - mixed success with WMA
Flip4mac - need the intermediate payware version which lets you convert. Use with Quicktime player. Flip4Mac - http://dynamic.telestream.net/downloads/download-flip4macwmv.asp?prodid=flip4mac wmv - The free version will let Quicktime play but not convert Windows Media files.
After installation a new Flip4Mac pane will appear in System Preferences. Make sure you set the boxes to ensure that it will play WMV files in Quicktime.
VLC - not really a converter but will do some in the export menu but may be slow and a bit of a learning curve.
Explore online converters where you upload a file in one format and download in another.

Downloading audiobooks from OverDrive Media Console

Overdrive Media Console for IPod

I have a 2nd generation Ipod toubh 9GB. I have been able to download books from my library straight to the Ipod via Overdrive Media Console. I have been able to download and play the books just fine. The only thing is that no matter which book I am listening to playback stutters and stops continuously after about 15 mins. I wrote Overdrive support and they told me to reboot my Ipod. I have done this several times but to no avail. I thought it may be that snooze was enable so I tried to check snooze for 90 mins but still after 15 mins playback stops and my place is not saved either. I am wondering if anyone else has encoutered this problem.
Thank you,

yes, yes, and yes. Now it's worse. when the display goes in stand by it shuts down. I am now installing the latest iphone version and seeing if it helps. I have gone to getting audible books.
What's changed is that i got an ipad and kindle and am syncing between devices for books from amazon.
On i side note why i am not running latest version of iphone. I stayed away from syncing or upgrading the iphone from laptop because of previously losing all data. Apples answer was that I should use more than their itunes software for backup since they don't maintain multiple versions. (during version upgrade the backup it took was corrupted thereby losing data of last good backup) so any istore app that had data was lost.

From OverDrive Media consol, I need to sign into Adobe. It fails each time. Help

I have downloaded OverDrive Media Console ap, and need to log into Adobe, which fails each time. Help

In the past, you have had to re-authenticate your Acrobat.com account on update if you are using the Acrobat.com features. This is something we are working on and hope to improve in future updates. Thank you for the feedback.

How do I transfer from Windows Media Player to ipod?

I have recently brought my first ipod and need help transfering my libary onto my ipod.

Hello bountyboy,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
The first thing you will have to do is import the music that is currently in your Windows Media Player library over to your iTunes library because that is the only way you will be able to sync any music to it. Here is an article that provides instructions on how to do this: [Transfer Music from Windows Media Player to iTunes|http://www.jakeludington.com/askjake/20080329_transfer_music_from_windows_media_player_toitunes.html]
From there, you will be able to set your iPod up to sync the music and such however you wish. If you need more help on how to sync the music to your iPod, I think this Apple support document should be able to assist you.
[Syncing Music to iPod|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1351]
Hope this helps.

Ipod shuffle error message

I keep trying to put music on my suffle but i does not seem to work everytime i try to put music on it i get a error message that says cannot be updated cannot be read from or written to. I am lost I got this for my sister and it can not get it to work right...I just need some help..itunes reads the shuffle..I tried the r's but it will not work right..oh n everytime i try to use it it will freeeze up my itunes nothing else. PLEASE HELP!!!!

Apple has not completely fixed this issue. I am getting the 1418 too when I try to update my Shuffle on Mac. I downloaded the Shuffle reset utility, and when I try to restore using this utility, I get a message dialog that says "Reset failure -- There was a problem obtaining information from your iPod."
I highly doubt that what is being conveyed in support docs is the totality of the issue. According to these docs, I need to return my Shuffle for servicing. I have a few problems with this though:
1) I've never had a problem with my Shuffle on Mac, until I tried to apply the latest update. I can STILL play songs and update songs just fine.
2) My shuffle works perfectly on Windows. I plugged my Shuffle into Windows, formatted it, opened up iTunes, was able to successfully restore and update my shuffle, and move songs to my shuffle. The problem is, my iTunes library is on my Mac (and will stay there, due to its size), not on my PC.
3) After updating on PC, I moved my Shuffle back to my Mac, where it is recognized fine, including the latest version of the software -- so it recognizes that my Shuffle is using software version 1.1.5. I can update songs on my Mac, But if I try to restore my Shuffle on Mac again, I get the 1418 error again, and have the same experience when trying to use the Shuffle update utility.
I have a hard time believing that this is anything but a software bug on OS X, and I'm having a hard time believing that when my Shuffle otherwise works perfectly on both platforms, and there was no sign of a problem until this latest update appeared, that my hardware is defective. This sounds more like a problem that Apple has an easier time fixing by swapping out hardware, rather than fixing via software, which I otherwise wouldn't care about, if it didn't cost me $30 to do, and I hadn't already gone through 3 40GB iPods in a 2 year span because the battery life was so bad.
If anyone from Apple is reading this, I'd appreciate a fix for OS X.
Thanks,
Brad

After iOS5 ugrade, I can no longer sync audiobooks from Overdrive Media Console. Is there something I need to change?

I upgraded my 3rd generation Touch to iOS5 on Thursday and now I can't sync. I've made sure that my Import Settings are AAC Encoder/Spoken Podcast and Manually manage videos and songs and Convert to higher bitrate are also checked. What did I miss? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Do you mean a playlist created by Overdrive?
I downloaded the newest version of ODM yesterday. Couldn't do it from within the application, had to uninstall/reinstall it. Here's what's happening now with WMA, which is my preferred format:
-Instead of just moving the audiobook and cover graphic and all that over as in the past, now ODM creates a separate playlist under 'Books' in your device. Problem is, only some (seemingly random) tracks go over there. The others just show up under 'Books' but not in the specified playlist, so you have to drag them over in iTunes.
-If you stop listening, it starts over from the beginning next time you're ready to resume, so if you expect to find your place again right away like in the good old days, think again.
-For me the WORST PART is only so much data of that sort is permitted under 'Books' so it seems, because after a certain threshold the transferred parts of books become greyed out and cannot be played. You are limited to far less data in a period of time than previously. I used to be able to keep several books on my device at once and listen to multiple things depending on my mood etc. Now I can fit about 2-3 big books, or 4-6 smaller ones, MUCH less than previously was possible, which is a problem if you've waited for a popular title at the library that you don't have the room for (even though you have plenty of memory in the device).
All in all, I think ODM need to get their act together. We should not allow them to think they are done with this upgrade, the fixes might be okay for temporary, but they are unacceptable for a permanent format. They have a phone number on their website. I left a message. Others have been tweeting them too, not sure of the contact info.
Good luck everyone. Post back here if you find something out.
