Audiobooks don't appear in itunes

Hey
The audiobooks I put on my Ipod don't appear on Itunes in the Ipod (they do appear in the library).
Any idea on how this can be fixed? I need to delete some!

In order to see Audiobooks on the Touch you have to click on the More... button on the bottom right after you open Music. Then you'll get a list including Audiobooks, Podcasts, etc. from which you can choose. According to the promotional video for the Touch, you can replace one of the standard icons in Music, e.g., Songs, with Audiobooks or Podcasts so you don't have to click on the More... icon to get to the list.

  • My audiobooks don't appear on Itunes

    I have an ipod touch
    My audiobooks used to appear fine in Itunes until I changed computers... Now, I have loads of audiobooks which appear as such on my Ipod Touch but they dont appeal AT ALL on itunes. This means I cannot delete them!
    Any tips/suggestions/directions etc..?
    This is quite important as I use my ipod mainly for audiobooks

    Do you have the audio books section turned "on" in itunes. From the Preferences>General make sure audio books are checked

  • Playlists don't appear in iTunes

    I got a new computer, I installed itunes, connected my ipod but my play lists from my ipod don't appear in itunes? How do I fix that? Everything I see has me sync the itunes to the ipod (thereby eleminating my playlists) but not the other way around.  How do I fix that?

    Well this didn't work.  I get to step #10 and there is just the words "home Share" and nothing listed below it, no arrow to click.  I'm assuming neither computer is recognizing each other even though they are sitting side by side and connected to the same wifi connection.  I'm literally about to throw everything in the trash!!!

  • Address Book ulContacts don't appear in iTunes

    I just went to sync my original iPhone via iTunes and just discovered that my address book contacts don't appear in iTunes. My address book is fine and all of my groups appear. Anyone have any helpful hints to get them to reappear?

    I have a similar issue.  There are hundreds of podcasts on my Ipod Touch that I would like to delete.  However, they don't show up on the computer.   2 questions:
    1.  You say to delete them from the Ipod.  Please explain how.  If they have to be deleted individually it will proabably take a lot of time.
    2.  Why does this happen?  How can I prevent this from happening again?
    Sure wish Apple would give us more help with this.
    Thank you.

  • GarageBand files don't appear in iTunes.

    My exported garageband files don't appear in iTunes. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

    You're sure they are not there? Have you done a
    search with the name in iTunes? Or on your disk with
    Spotlight?
    I've tried all these things to no avail. Do you have any other suggestions?

  • Playlists don't appear in iTunes Playlist selection window when synching

    I just updated to iTunes 9.0 (big mistake) and discovered that many of my playlists do not appear in the playlist selection window when I synch my iPod nano 2.0. Even playlists that I created after upgrading to 9.0 don't appear. I have more playlists than I can load onto my iPod, so I need to be able to select which playlists to synch. Since many don't even appear in the selection window, I can't put them on my iPod. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
    BTW, I have already gone through the Five R's, which did nothing to help.

    Personally I use Subler to tag all these shows and then send them to Itunes. In subler you have the option of setting the Media Type and also the HD option of 720 or 1080p if applicable. Save it then use the file, Send to itunes and they show up in the right place.

  • .m4V files don't appear in iTunes until played from iTunes' 'Movies' folder

    Some .m4v camcorder movie files (from a recent .avi conversion using Handbrake) just don't appear in my iTunes 'Movies' library until I double-click on them in the iTunes 'Movies' folder. Handbrake did the batch conversion and placed the converted files in the iTunes 'Movies' folder.
    All of the converted files are visible in that 'Movies' folder of iTunes. And when I double-click them they play in an iTunes window. iTunes 'Movies' section seems unable to display them until they have first been played from the iTunes 'Movies' folder. Am I missing something about the way iTunes handles .m4v files?
    Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this problem? Any idea what the issue might be?
    Thanks.

    Problem.
    I just tried turingtest2's suggestion and it didn't work.
    I converted an H264 .mov file in Handbrake and output the conversion to the 'Automatically Add to iTunes' folder. But it was not added to iTunes - it ended up in the 'Not Added' folder and remained there until I played it from that location. Then it immediately turned up in iTunes 'Movies' folder.
    The Handbrake conversion was to an 'Apple TV' compatible .m4v file.
    Any idea what the problem might be?

  • Latest podcast episodes don't appear in iTunes

    This topic doesn't seem to be new: 6 episodes of our podcast have been properly shown up in itunes. #7 and #8 are not updated in the itunes store. Any help is highly appreciated, Thanks!
    Itunes store: https://itunes.apple.com/de/podcast/arkhaminsiders/id689894807?l=en
    Feed: http://feeds.feedburner.com/Arkhaminsiders

    In fact the Store is missing episodes 1 and 7,
    Episode 1 is not present in the feed. Episode 7 is, but it has no 'enclosure' tag containing the URL of the media file, as is required by iTunes (and is present in the other episode except a few which are presumabloy designed not to have playable media, and thus don't show in iTunes).
    The media file URL for episode 7 is present in the 'description' tag, and works; but evidently you have failed to do something in WordPress which you did for the other episodes to make it iTunes-compliant.

  • IPod touch apps don't appear in iTunes app

    My iTunes account used to purchase apps (I always do this on the iPod itself) does not show my apps when I am in iTunes on my computer (using same acct; I double-checked). I have nine pages of apps on the iPod, so I do not want to have to download them again to my computer from the apps store as suggested by people who updated to newer version and lost their apps. Any suggestions? When I connect my iPod to my computer, does the sync apps only work in one direction--computer to iPod? I am afraid to sync for fear of losing all my apps. Thank you for any help you can give me. bjfritz

    Any applications downloaded directly to iPod touch are automatically backed up to your iTunes library when you sync.
    If you don't trust the automatic system, open iTunes, press and hold Command+Option while connecting your iPod touch to your computer until you see iPod touch appear in the iTunes sidebar. This will prevent automatic syncing. Then use the iTunes File menu -> Transfer Purchases from XXX's iPod Touch.

  • Most of my audiobooks don't appear under audiobooks in genre view

    I have ten or so audiobooks in iTunes but for some reason only three of them appear under the genre of Audiobooks in the genre view. I have made sure that all the tracks on all the books are marked with audiobooks in the genre category but this does not seem to make any difference.

    There are a number of things that determine whether something appears as an audiobook in my experience. First, Apple only will accept audiobooks in the Audible format (.aa) or the Protected AAC (.m4b). Assuming that your file is the Protected AAC, it could have the wrong file extension. Try changing the file extension on one of your audiobooks to .m4b from .m4a (You may have to play a few seconds of it once you have changed it to get it to work).
    If that works, you can try one of Doug's Scripts (www.dougscripts.com) for iTunes called Make Bookmarkable (sic?) which can make the task much easier.
    Oh, and if you are running iTunes 8? This is even simpler. Import the audiobook, Get Info on it, go to the Options Tab, and on Media Type change it to Audiobook.
    The other problem is perhaps you are importing them incorrectly. Here is a good resource for making audiobooks from either CD Audiobooks (http://aldoblog.com/audiobooks/itunes/importing-audio-cds/) or MP3 CD Audiobooks (http://aldoblog.com/audiobooks/itunes/importing-mp3-cds/)

  • IPod plays great but songs don't appear in iTunes

    I originally set up my 4th-gen iPod to synch with iTunes on my PC. Made a brief switch to a Mac laptop running OSX 10.4.11 -- reformatted the iPod, transferred the songs from one iTunes to the other. Alas, that experiment is coming to an end and I decided to reformat to the PC. Weirdly, the iPod absorbed the entire library on my PC -- I thought reformatting the device wiped it clean. But the songs don't show up in iTunes under my player although they do in the library -- that is, I can see the titles, but they're grayed out, I can't select them, and I can't add anything to the iPod from the iTunes library. Just for grins, I plugged the iPod back into my Mac, and the songs are also grayed out. I'm lost in the Twilight Zone. Any suggestions?

    The songs are "greyed out" because you have the iPod set to transfer songs automatically. That is also why the padlock icon appears at the bottom of iTunes next to the space used/available.
    If you want the songs to be bold and selectable/editable, then you need to change to manage the content manually.
    Please note that by editing/changing the songs on your iPod in this manner, the changes will not affect the songs in iTunes, only on your iPod.

  • My iphone4 no longer shows my music files??  They don't appear in iTunes either but my music is still there as 1) the 'summary' shows 28gigs

    My iPhone is driving me insane!  It started having problems synching the phone to iTunes (basically, iTunes was saying that it couldnt recognize the phone).  After hours and hours trying to resolve the issue I found some advice on the internet.  I downloaded iPhone Explorer and deleted a couple of files as suggested & this resolved the problem.  The phone started to synch again and updated the phone with the latest software.  However, the 'Summary' was showing all my music/video files as 'Other'.
    I've since synched the phone & the problem is now even worse!!!  My iPhone no longer shows any music/videos, even when I connect to iTunes!  However, the summary still shows a capacity of 28 gigs so the music files are still in the phone?!?  Likewise, I've checked the phone files using iPhone Explorer & the music files are still in the phone?!?
    Does anybody have any idea how to fix this problem.  I've only got half of music library backed up so dont want to restore as I'll lose half of my music library!

    I'm happy to totally restore the phone.......once I have completely backed up my music files!  I can't back up in the normal way as the music files are not recognized in the iPhone or iTunes.
    The original problem occurred as a result of a corrupted synch.  This seems to be a problem a LOT of people have had (based on all the Internet research I've done).  I did everything suggested (uninstall/reinstall iTunes, update iTunes, reset iPhone, use a different USB port, use a different connection cable, update drivers, restart computer with iPhone connected......and nothing worked!!!).  Having spent days and days looking for an answer I eventually found a solution that was supposed to work.  It was suggested that I download the 'iPhone Explorer' software and delete a couple of directory files which I did.  This partially resolved the issue, iTunes recognized the iPhone and updated the iOS software.
    Quite simply, the music media files are still in the iPhone, it just doesn't recognise which directory the music cache is in.  I need to either:-
    * figure out how to get the iPhone to find the correct directory again or:
    * figure out how to extract the remaining music files to create a complete back up and then restore the iPhone

  • Apps: download them but they don't appear in iTunes

    hi guys,
    when I donwload an app via itunes i see it dowloading into a "download" temporary folder right below the "itunes store" tab on the left of the itunes. Apps stay there for a while then disappear and i can't even find them in the apps tab of itunes.
    And still, when i check my hard disk i can see them in a folder called "mobile apps" into my "itunes" folder.
    I want to download apps from itunes instead from iphone. I download them but I just can't find them on itunes once downloaded.
    What's wrong with all that?
    I have an iphone 3g, 2.2.1 fw
    thank you for your help.

    I see a large number of messages about iPhone apps "crashing" and authorization issues. I was frustrated for many months about some, many or most apps "crashing" at startup after installing new apps. In my case "crash" means that the initial screen of the app would briefly appear and then the iPhone would revert to the original screen shown before the app was started.
    Newly downloaded apps would always work. You could remove any app then download it again and it would work. At some latter time you might sync with iTunes and after that many apps would start "crashing" again.
    What a frustrating experiance!
    BTW, my computer runs WindowsXP, I think that not using a Mac is likely to be a key part of people's issues!
    So, the summary of the issue is:
    Download a new app on your iPhone. Sync with iTunes on your Windows system. Look at the list of applications iTunes is aware of. Note if iTunes does not have a complete list. Over time note how apps not on the list start to "crash" on startup.
    I've finally found a solution that appears to resolve my app crash issues:
    Sync your iPhone to iTunes. Deautorize and reauthorize your computer. Note how the iTune applications list has added more items including your most recent App Store downloads. Sync your iPhone again using the button on the iTunes Applicaiton screen. Enjoy the fact that your apps on your iPhone now all run OK. Remember to deauthorize and reauthoirze your computer when you sync after you install more apps on your iPhone.
    The apporach above has changed my experiance from frequent frustation to no more issues.
    Not sure if it matters but I've yet to add any actual music on my iPhone. I do have some podcasts. Perhaps if I had music that needed authorization that would change things. Also, I have no apps which cost money. Again, if I had for fee apps maybe that would change the situation.
    It seems like there are a lot of folks having app "crash" issues. The Digital Rights Management authorization seems to be in the middle of the issues. My guess is that iTunes on Windows with iPhone does not get quite the same attention as on Mac. These issues seem to cause many folks to be frustrated. Suggested solutions include a complete system reset which allows the iPhone to "work correctly for a few months".
    As far as I can tell latest updates of all SW involved still show the issue. If it really has been resolved or it's somehow my user stupidity my appologies for wasting other's time.
    Since I've found a solution that's not too painful I'm happy. However, Apple may want to improve the user experiance for the masses.

  • Downloaded files don't appear in iTunes

    I'm trying to download an MIT Physics course from iTunesU, but only three random lectures will show up after I download them.
    The others give me the error "There were problems adding xxx to iTunes." When I go into the "Mymusic" folder there is a "Download" folder there containing folders for each download. Those folders contain a working MP4 file called "download.mp4."
    I've found that I can download the files on my iPhone and they show up in iTunes when I sync, but It's so much easier to download them the "normal" way - through iTunes.
    If anyone has seen this before or has any ideas how I can fix this, I'd appreciate the help.
    Thanks,
    - Paul
