Audiobooks not showing up in iPod tab when searching

So, I have this problem with some audiobooks. If I connect my 5th generation iPod 60GB to iTunes, it shows up as normal. I then select the iPod, and I try to search on a specific artist (Or writer if you will) in the search field on the right. But, most of my audiobooks artist does not show up, so I can select them single handedly.
I have some older audiobooks that shows up just fine, but not all the newer ones.
If I select to sync my entire Audiobook collection, or create playlists and throw the seperate audiobooks in there, they sync just fine.
I would just like to be able to select an artist in the search field and get it to sync though. Of course all of audiobooks are marked correctly with tags and mediatype.
Any thoughts?

I think this has been covered in several posts (search under "audiobooks"). Basically, even the stuff you download from iTunes Store is not always formatted correctly for your iPod to place in the correct spot.
Downloaded books show up in iTunes under Audiobooks, but not on your iPod under the same. Close iTunes. From windows explorer, find the audiobook in your My Documents/My Music/iTunes/iTunes Music folder and change the extension on the file from .m4p or .m4a to .m4b and then relaunch iTunes. Find the audiobook and play it for a few seconds so iTunes properly recognizes the file. Make sure that it is listed under the genre "Audiobooks" - if that genre is not available, pick custom and create it. Right-click the file and pick info, then options and make sure that the buttons for replaying from last position and skipping during mix play are selected. Re-synch and it should show up on your iPod under Music->Audiobooks.
Books that you import from CDs have to be manually configured to show up as Audiobooks - again, details can be found by searching these forums.

  • TS3697 My new iTunes does not show me a PHOTOS tab when syncing my iPad 3. It only shows Music, Films and Apps tabs on the top left menu.

    My new iTunes does not show me a PHOTOS tab when syncing my iPad 3. It only shows Music, Films and Apps tabs on the top left menu.
    What am I going to do?

    The Photos tab doesn't appear there. If you are on iTunes 11 on your computer then you may want to re-enable the left-hand sidebar via View > Show Sidebar (option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC), which might make it easier to navigate and my instructions may make more sense.
    To sync photos, connect and select your iPad on the left-hand side of your computer's iTunes (if you've enabled the sidebar), and on the right-hand side there should be a series of tabs, one of which should be Photos e.g. :
    If you select that tab you can then select which photo folders to sync to the iPad. There is a bit more info on this page. You will need to sync all the photos that you want on the iPad together in one go as only the most recent photo sync remains on the iPad - synced photos can't be deleted directly on the iPad, instead they are deleted by not including them in the next photo sync.
    If you haven't enabled the sidebar, then from your library click 'iPad' at the top right of the screen and you should get a series of buttons along the top of the screen, including one for Photos

  • Audiobooks not showing up on ipod nano with iTunes 8.0

    Help! My audiobooks are not showing up on my ipod nano. They are in the audiobook catagory in itunes and the audiobook catagory shows up when my ipod is plugged into the computer, however when I unplug it I can't find the files! There is no Audiobook catagory or playlist on my ipod (unlike the on the computer). Has anyone else had this problem and figured out a solution? Thanks!

    Hi,
    I have the same problem. If you look under 'Albums' you will find the books listed there but they behave as 'Music files'. Apple need to fix this but when?

  • Audiobooks not showing up on iPod

    Hello,
    I added a number of audiobooks (mp3) to my iTunes (v 11.3.1.2 on Windows 7) library, marked the albums as media type "audiobook", and then synced with my iPod Classic (v 2.0.5).
    In iTunes I can see that the files were copied to my iPod, where they are listed under the Audiobook tab.
    However, when I go to the Audiobook tab on my iPod they aren't showing up. Only a few random files from a couple of the audiobooks are in the list, but the rest is missing. The audiobooks aren't showing up under Music either. They do however show up in the Recently added list.
    Any advice, please?

    Hey oyedivani,
    You may need to try to restore your iPod using the information in the article below, then re-sync all of the information onto your iPod again:

    I ipod touch is not showing up on my computer when I plug in to update and download audiobooks.

    Hey khdewey,
    Thanks for the question. I understand you are experiencing issues with your iPod touch being recognized in iTunes on your Mac. The following resource may provide a solution:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1591
    Note: This article is for Mac OS X users. If you're using a Windows PC, please refer to these troubleshooting suggestions.
    Follow these steps to resolve your issue:
    1. Ensure that your Mac meets the minimum system requirements for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
    2. Install software updates on your Mac.
    Note: If an iTunes update is available, apply the update.
    3. Check USB connections. iOS devices require USB 2.0 to function properly. If you're not sure your Mac has USB 2.0 ports, refer to the computer's specifications.
    4. Disconnect other USB devices and connect your device directly to a USB port on your Mac.
    5. Restart your Mac.
    Additional Information
    In rare circumstances, your device may be recognized after reinstalling iTunes, but after you restart your Mac, the device may not be recognized again. If this happens and you're using Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard, please follow these steps.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • TS4062 I can't sync music on my computer to my ipod touch; the ipod shows up under Devices in itunes but does not show buttons (Summary etc.) when I click on it. Suggestions?

    I can't sync music already on my computer to my ipod touch; the ipod shows up under Devices in itunes but does not show buttons (Summary etc.) when I click on it. I've read through all the Help tutorials but none of them say what to do if the sync options don't pop up when you highlight the device.  I've already spent way too much time trying to figure this out and it's driving me crazy!  Thanks for any help you can offer.

    This is correct.  It will not show in finder.  It is not an external storage device.
    The music sync is one way - computer to ipod.  The only exception is itunes purchases.  Open itunes connect ipod, do not sync, click File>Transfer Purchases

  • Camera and ipod shuffle do not show up on desk top when connected

    Kodak camera and ipod shuffle do not show up on desk top when connected.  Trying to download pictures and adding my music to ipod shuffle, Anyone have any suggestions.

    Have you plugged in another USB device to ensure that the USB ports are working?
    Suggest you buy (about $10 - $20) a USB memory card reader. Just plug your camera's memory card into it & copy the pic files to your Mac. Quicker & easier than interfacing the camera for pic transfer.
     Cheers, Tom

  • Video podcasts not showing up on iPod

    Since the recent update of my iPod, my video podcasts are not syncing to my iPod.  When I sync with iTunes, I have all the podcasts (both audio and video) selected to sync but only the audio podcasts are available to me via my iPod.  What's going on here?

    OK, so there they are in a new place. Would have been courteous for Apple to give some clue that they were moving things around. Especially because the video podcasts still show up in iTunes in the same place as the audio podcasts, same as before. Thanks for tip, lllaass.

  • Photos loaded directly onto ipad air do not show up on PC anywhere when synced using itunes

    Photos loaded directly onto ipad air using Apple camera connection kit, do not show up on PC anywhere when synced using itunes

    They won't show in iTunes (iTunes is only used to copy photos to a device, not copy them off), but you should be able to copy them off either manually via My Computer (the iPad should show as a camera) or via windows camera wizard or windows live photo gallery depending upon your OS version.

  • AGPM and security security filtering: gpos not showing up in uncontrolled tab

    Why Does a gpo not show up in uncontrolled tab? The only thing that is removed is "authenticated users" from security filtering of said gpo. Once I add authenticated users back, bang! its back visible in uncontrolled tab.
    Adding specific groups and removing authenticated users from security filtering is a standard practice to apply group policy. Can this not be used with AGPM?
