Can I determined sorting order audiobooks on my 4th Gen. Ipod Nano ?

Why aren't audiobooks listed on ipod nano 4th generation the same order as they are in itunes?
I have an audio book on several CD's that I copied into my Itunes library. I have already gone into the track information and set them all to audiobook. On my Ipod (Nano 4th Generation) they are listed by the track name (Chapter name). Which means during playback they are out of order. However, in Itunes on my Mac they are listed under the name of the book and the chapters are in the right sequence.
I haven't read any solutions for how to change the sorting order of audiobooks on the Ipod Nano 4th Generation. (I'd be interested in a solution to this problem on other Ipods. Like Ipod Nano 1st Generation and Ipod shuffle 4th Generation)

Did you already load the audiobook manually (by dragging it to the shuffle)?  To confirm that the audiobook is on the shuffle...
Select the shuffle in the iTunes sidebar.  If the sidebar (along left side of window) is not visible, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.
Click the small triangle to the left of the shuffle name (in the sidebar) to drop down its content list, indented below the shuffle.  Click on Audiobooks there.  To the right, your audiobook(s) should be listed.
NOTE:  if you don't see Audiobooks on the content list, there are no audiobooks on the shuffle.
When you turn ON the shuffle, you are playing from the default All Songs list.  Audiobooks (and podcasts) do not play from the All Songs list.  You need to use VoiceOver to select the audiobook from the playlist menu.  This document explains how to set up and use VoiceOver on your shuffle

  • 4th gen ipod nano - can't find games for it on itunes

    I have just purchased a 4th gen ipod nano for my son and he wanted some games. Went onto itunes and purchased Crash Bandicoot Nitrokart game for £3.49. Couldn't get it to transfer to nano - but then noticed it's sitting in Applications (iPhone and iPod touch applications). Then went back into game and see that it says requirements are for iphone and itouch. Why did apple allow me to purchase this when I rgistered the nano when I setup itunes? Have searched for other games but all say the same requirement. Where can I find games that will download for nano? I have itunes 8.01 and ipod software is up-to-date

    click on "iTunes Store", then on the left side of the screen, there should be a box near the top with:
    Music
    Movies
    TV Shows
    Music Videos
    Audiobooks
    Podcasts
    iTunes U
    iPod Games
    Apps Store
    listed. You want "iPod Games".

  • TS1456 My 4th Gen iPod Nano isn't displaying a "Use iTunes to restore" message, but iTunes is displaying a restore message when I connect it. I have original music that I can't back up on my iPod. Is there any way that I can fix the iPod without restoring

    My 4th Gen iPod Nano isn't displaying a "Use iTunes to restore" message, but iTunes is displaying a restore message when I connect it. I have original music that I can't back up on my iPod. Is there any way that I can fix the iPod without restoring it?

    It's not designed to work like this. When you sync, the iPod stores some information that basically says 'this iPod belongs to computer xyz'. Apple did this to prevent copyright issues (syncing someone else's music).
    If you really want to do this, you'll have to at least tie both iTunes installations to the same account. Maybe have them sync with each other.

  • Where can I find the user guide for the 4th gen. ipod touch?

    Can someone tell me where I can find the user guide for the 4th gen. ipod touch? It's not on the manuals section, only the 5th gen. is.

    Try this one.

  • Can bomberman game work with 4th Gen ipod Nano?

    In the games section it says they all work for the 3rd and 4th gen ipods and then inside the games it says different in some cases, and in the bomberman game one it says only the 3rd gen nano, will this not work with the 4th gen nano? Lemme know thanks! AIM me at azrael4791 about this! THanks!

    You're looking at this one, right?

    Interesting, the main page does say 3rd & 4th gen nanos, but the Bomberman page doesn't. However some of the other games I checked randomly do say 4th gen nano.
    If I were you, I'd contact Hudson Software - the makers of that iPod click-wheel game.

  • My 4th gen Ipod touch won't power up but is recognized by itunes and is in recovery mode! What can I do/

    I can't get my 4th gen ipod touch to turn on but itunes see's it and is in recovery mode. I can hear the beep beep when I plug it in to the usb port. I have also charged it for 3 hrs so far but won't fire up. I tried the customery hold the home and power button routine but don't know what else to do. I tried recovery mode but the itunes say's"waiting for the ipod" and I guess cause it's not on it won't recover. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks in advance to all who reply!

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Hi, I have a 7th Gen Ipod Nano and I am unable to delete songs. When synced on the PC I can select tracks but right clicking on them does not give the ability to delete. I have downloaded the latest 1.0.3 software but it did not help.

    Hi,  I have a 7th gen ipod nano and am having a problem with deleting songs. I can select the track in my ipod's library but right clicking does not bring up the option to delet. I have downloaded the latest update for the ipod but this has not solved the issue. Can anyone suggest a remedy? thanks

    Hello Lor100,
    In order to delete or add individual songs from and to your iPod, you'll need to enable 'manual mode' on the device. This will allow you to add and remove exactly the content you desire.

  • When I touch the "photos" icon on my 4th gen iPod Touch, I get a page entitled "Albums" - it's white, with many lines.  At the very top of the screen, almost shadowed behind the word "albums" I can see the thumbnail of my album.  But I can't access it.

    I need help viewing my photos on my 4th gen iPod Touch.  When I choose the "photos" icon, I get a screen called "albums".  At the top of the screen, sort of shadowed behind the word "albums" I can see a thumbnail of where my pictures are.  What can I do to get back my "old" view of my pictures?
    Thanks.
    Judy

    Bring up the Multitask bar by double clicking on the home button, search for the photo app icon, tap on it until it starts to shake, hit the minus icon in the left corner to close the app.
    Close the task bar again and start the photo app again, this time it should work.
