Audiobooks downloaded onto iPod nano from iTunes

I am enjoying using my iPod nano to listen to mysteries that I've downloaded from iTunes. I like to listen to the whole story so I've downloaded unabridged versions. I've listened to three stories so far. They're long, of course, so they download in multiple tracks (e.g., 10). In each case, one or more tracks has ended abruptly and prematurely, switching automatically to the next track. I've rewound and checked and the information apparently isn't there -- the track just ends. SO I NEVER HAVE FOUND OUT WHODUNIT!! It's driving me crazy! (I might need to go to the library to find out!!)
Has anyone else experienced this problem with audiobooks? Is there something I can do when I download the books onto my PC, or from PC to my iPod, to ensure that I receive the entire recording, and that the tracks are complete? Is there a maximum length for a track in iTunes?
Many thanks for any help you can provide.

I've been listening to unabridged audio books for over a year and have never encountered that problem. I load up to 5 books at a time with multiple sections in each book so it shouldn't be a matter of room. I know this is not the answer but is information regrding the matter. Maybe your download is ending before you get all the information in your pc. My husbands nano occasionally jumps sections in the middle of a book but he just has to stop and go back to where he was and it plays on.

Music downloads to iPod Nano from songs that are only available in iCloud.

I'm trying to add music to my sons iPod Nano that myself and my older son have on our iPhone and iPod touch. When I try to copy these songs over to the Nano it tells me it cannot be copied because it is only available in iCloud. It then states I need to download the items from iCloud before they can be copied to the iPod. How to I download songs from iCloud that are currently showing in my music library?

No longer able to delete/add songs/playlists onto ipod touch from itunes...

Yesterday, I decided to plug my mom's ipod into my macbook to transfer some songs onto the ipod for her. After transferring songs onto her ipod, using my macbook and itunes, I plugged my ipod back in to sync and delete songs. However, that option is no longer working. My ipod syncs, but I'm not able to delete/add songs, playlists, etc... I tried deauthorizing the laptop and reauthorizing it through itunes, restarting my ipod and laptop, and reinstalling itunes. But, nothing seems to work. Help please!

Where can I download the latest version of iTunes 6?
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/itunes605forwindows.html
As noted by some others, a working flow appears to be:
1) remove 7 using the control panel add/remove programs [some also report removing the new version of quicktime that came with 7 -- I did].
2) find the file 'iTunes Library {dateyou_loaded7}.itl' [usually in 'My Documents/My Music/iTunes/Previous iTunes Libraryes'], copy it up one directory level, and re-name it 'iTunes Library.itl'.
3) download and install the above version 605.
I had already installed the gen5 firmware upgrade that came with 7, and it seems to work fine with version 6, with no need to 'downgrade' the firmware.
Your mileage may vary.

Can't load my ipod nano from itunes on a mac; that is, I can't drag and drop an mp3 file (of a speech) from iTunes to my iPod--though the iPod shows up on iTunes. My nano is the brand new touch screen.

I received the new iPod Nano with the touch screen for Christmas. I have a MacBook Pro running OS 10.5.8. I have iTunes 10 on my system. I cannot drag and drop MP3 files from iTunes to my iPod--though it appears that iTunes recognizes my iPod--it shows up on the Devices menu on the left side of iTunes. My wife--a long-time Mac user--kidded me that I didn't know what I was doing, Then she tried to load my iPod and failed as well. Any suggestions?

Is the Manually manage music and videos option enabled from under the iPod's Summary tab in iTunes?

Can not watch movie downloaded to Ipod touch from Itunes

Hi,
I am very frustrated; have talked to Apple 3 times now. I have purchased movies from Itunes and synced them to my Ipod. When I look at the movie photo in the display it reads "Invalid" and when I tap the movie picture the message says Movie can not be viewed. I loaded a SD movie. I have the updated Itunes 9 and I recently installed Itunes again. Can anyone help me??? I purchased the unit in July of 09 (16G). I have "Erased all content and settings" hoping that would help. I am able to purchase and sync Apps and music from Itunes to the unit but can not do movies. I am not able to play the purchased movie on my computer either...just a blank, black screen. Can anyone help? thanks,

i've had to download an App called 'air play it' just to listen to my mp3s while im in the living room because i can't send mp3s to my iPod Touch.
'air play it' only acts as a streamer though so i can't copy songs from my Mac to the iPod Touch.
thanks

Adding music to ipod nano from itunes library

PLEASE HELP -- an ipod is connected to itunes on my windows pc and the window lights up o.k.. i want to add the itunes library to the ipod.. when i drag a title to the ipod name, i see the circle/slash symbol telling me its no good.. i have ripped the library to a cd, and still cant make it work.. any suggestions?

Ya but in your first post it wasn't clear WHERE the iPod icon was that you were dragging. So you could very well have been trying to drag stuff from the iTunes library window to the iPod icon showing on the desk top (Mac) or in "My Computer" (Win) as a disk drive. That comes up from time to time, so had to verify.
OK, next question, how is the iPod setup to update? Are you set to Auto update or manual update? If one of the auto updates, then you can not drag and drop anything onto the iPod. You "sync" it instead. If you right click on the iPod set for auto updating, you will see a "Sync" choice. Pick that and iTunes will update the iPod however it is set to update (the whole library or select playlists).

Audiobook download to iPod nano

I have downloaded many audiobooks from the library, but after I upgraded overdrive I cannot download from my computer it will not go to overdrive. So I went to library and downloaded books, but they are going into music albums instead of audiobooks. I can still listen to them,but hard to resume reading.

Hi bonniefromogden,
If you have the files in question in iTunes but they are showing up as songs instead of as audiobooks, you may be able to change the file info. You may find the following article helpful:
Customize song and CD info
You can edit information in the Info window to make it easier to find and sort items in your library. For example, you can:
- Identify an item that you imported from a CD as an audiobook, so it appears under Audiobooks instead of Music (click the Options button and choose Audiobook from the Media Kind pop-up menu). If you do this, iTunes also remembers your place in the audiobook.

I can´t update software version 1.3 for my iPod nano from iTunes 7.0.2

Error -48 Everything works properly - Connection attempt to Apple web site was successful. Connection attempt to iTunes Store was successful. Secure connection attempt to iTunes Store was successful.
Pop up informs me about new version of ipod software 1.3 and when I start to download, appx. a 30 seconds to error -48 pops up. Please is there any other chance how to update my nano to version 1.3?
Thanks
M.

hmmmmm.
do you have any better success if you try doing a "download only" of the 1.3 firmware, and then doing the update once it has been safely downloaded?

I downloaded 2 cds onto my ipod nano through itunes. Recently my itunes account changed and now it doesn't recognize the songs from the cds. How to transfer from ipod back to itunes? I don't have the cds anymore.

I downloaded 2 cds onto my ipod nano through itunes. Recently my itunes account changed for some unknown reason and now it doesn't recognize the songs from the cds. The songs are still on my ipod. I am affraid to sync now because the songs may be deleated, and I don't have the cds anymore. How can I transfer the songs from the cds on my ipod back to itunes so that I don't lose them?

What you have on your computer is your iTunes library, not your "account." The "account" you have for iTunes is your Apple ID, which you use when purchasing or downloading from the iTunes Store. If these songs came from music CDs that you imported into iTunes, those songs are not related to your Apple ID.

How are they not "recognized"? Are the songs still listed in your iTunes music library, but grayed out? They no longer appear in your iTunes library at all?
If you search your computer (not in iTunes) for the song files, using one of the song names, can you find the song files?

I am trying to use itunes, it will not open at all, have uninstalled and downloaded new software and 64bit for windows. i have an old ipod nano from about 5 years ago. anything i can do, even to view my purchases and watch/listen to music etc?

In iTunes sign out of your daughters Apple ID and sign in with your own.

I have a 4 GB Ipod Nano from 2006 I am trying to use again. I leet the anti-virus on my old PC with the iTunes lapse and I think I managed to attract a virus. If I plug my iPod Nano into this old PC, can it also become infested with a virus?

I have a 4GB iPod Nano from 2006 I am trying to use again. I let the anti-virus softwarer lapse on my old PC, the one with my iTunes library on it. Can my iTunes library become affected with this virus?
I have tried to fully charge the iPod but the message screen only displays ""Use iTunes to restore"
Do I need to re-download iTunes and start over?

Hello Mike,
No, you shouldn't need to worry about your iTunes library being infected with a virus. As to the restore message on your Nano, have you tried restoring it via iTunes yet?

Is the "software update" for iTunes 12? Or something you did to the iPod?
