Can't access audiobooks

iI can't find my audiobooks on iTunes. I have read that only one download is allowed. If we are paying full price for the book ( not cheap!) we should be able to access and download as often as we like. Other wise charge a rental similar to movies with limited down load time. Any suggestioms as to where to find previously purchased audiobooks on iTunes. Thanks

If you buy them directly on your iPad then you can copy them over to your computer's iTunes library via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases, they should go into the Books part of your iTunes library (Audiobooks if using a Mac with Yosemite or Mavericks on it) - you can then take a backup copy of it.
As far as I'm aware audible.com supply all the audiobooks to Apple, so I assume that it's them that are requiring the one-time only download. Other items (music, films etc) are only redownloadable whilst they remain in your country's store (rights-holders could remove their items at any time) and if you don't move countries, so as well as taking a backup copy of any audiobooks that you buy you should also take a backup copy of every other download and not rely on being able to redownload them in the future.

HT4910 I PURCHASED AN AUDIOBOOK FROM MY IPAD, HOW CAN I ACCESS FROM MY IPHONE AND SAVE IT TO IT

I PURCHASED AUDIOBOOKS FROM MY IPAD2, I ALSO HAVE I CLOUD ACCOUNT WITH 15 GB STORAGE. I ALREADY BACK UP MY IPAD TO ICLOUD.
HOW CAN I ACCESS MY AUDIOBOOK FROM MI IPHONE 4S AND STORE SOME OF THESE IBOOKS ON IT?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Audiobooks are not currently part of the content that can be re-downloaded. You should sync your audiobooks to other devices via iTunes on your computer.
You can re-download content purchased from the iBook store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option at the bottom of the screen after you tap the store button in the top corner of the iBook app on your iOS device.

How can I access my itunes account, old computer crashed?

My computer has crashed and have recently purchased a new one, all my movies, books, music was on the account on this computer, how can I access it again?
I have all my downloads, movies, books, music, so how can I acces that itunes account if my computer has crashed and now have a new computer?

The easiest way to get back missing items? Restore your whole hard drive with all your irreplaceable things like photos in about 20 minutes from the backup clone you make on a regular basis.
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519 - enabled with iTunes 10.3 and newer; not available in all countries; only apps, books (not audiobooks), music, and t.v. shows (not movies). Discontinued items not available. For items not included in the iCloud list, or locations or computer systems where iCloud is not (yet?) available, you only get one download per fee paid. Apple notes it is your responsibility to back up your purchases.
I am a bit confused by your use of the word "account". You may have an "account" on the iTunes Store. What you have on a computer is your user account, part of which is the iTunes folder which usually houses a collection of files that make up what you see when you open the iTunes application. When you open iTunes it does not normally open an account to your files, it just opens the ones on your computer. If your old computer died and you can not longer use the hard drive (which is not necessarily true but we would have to know more about the situation in detail) then not only your media but your playlists, ratings, etc. are also gone (unless you have a backup). As indicated above, iTunes Store will let you download some things again, if they are still there and you are running iTunes 10.3 or greater. Things like movies are gone unless you have a backup copy elsewhere. The iTunes store does not contain playlists, etc, nor your ratings since all you are doing is downloading brand new copies again.

Getting quite frustrated with my iPhone 4S. Can't access WIFI and/or Bluetooth nor will my computer allow it to be a "hotspot" unless physically tethered to computer. It started acting up after download....it also has messed up some app

I've only had this phone since Sept. and have already had to have the speaker replaced. NOW I can't access wifi and/or bluetooth (both are grey). I can't use the Personal Hotspot either (and the passcode no longer shows up). I can only access internet via the phone through the USB. This started over the past few days (and after I updated to IOS).
Some of my apps no longer work either...over 100+ hours of audiobooks on Audible can't be accessed as the Audible app just shuts off.
Any recommendations on how to recify? I'm pretty rural so downloaded anything takes going to the next town over to get a signal from the library... and all of my searching is eating into my 5gb limit through ATT....so it is a bit irritating

called Apple Care this a.m....new upgrade on 12/31/12 is supposed to fix the "bug"

HT1338 What's going on with iCloud (MobileMe)? I'm able to sign in here, but I can't access mail on my Macbook Pro, iPhone, or work computer. I always get an authorization error (user-id or passwork wrong). This has been going on for almost a week now.

The single download means that you won't be able to redownload it from the store without paying, either on a computer's iTunes or an iOS device - it doesn't stop you from copying the audiobook to your other computers or syncing it to your iOS devices, you just can't redownload it. (I believe that they are all supplied to Apple by audible.com, so I assume that it's them requiring the one-time download.)
You can download audiobooks on your computer's iTunes and sync them to iOS devices, you do not have to buy them directly on the device (if you do then you can copy them back to your computer's iTunes library by connecting the device and using the File > Devices > Transfer Purchases menu option on your computer's iTunes).
What you are doing to sync them should work i.e.
- connecting the iPad to your Mac
- selecting the iPad on your Mac's iTunes
- selecting its Books tab and selecting the audiobooks that you want to sync to the iPad and syncing/applying that selection.
You should then get an audiobooks option in the Music app on your iPad. If they aren't appearing there then do they show in Settings > General > Usage > Music on the device - if you have audiobooks on the iPad then they should be listed there under an 'audiobooks' heading.
By 'restart the iPad' do you mean a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
You could also try closing its Music app via the iPad's taskbar : Force an app to close in iOS.
And do a soft-reset and retry syncing.
I assume that music and other items sync ok ?

Itunes match says songs are all uploaded but can't access them on iPhone

I signed up for itunes match last weekend, and went through the long process of matching and uploading songs. It finally finished today, specifically saying that my library is available in the cloud. But I can't access any of my library on my iPhone, even with itunes match turned on. Since itunes match is fairly new I haven't come across anything that would help. If someone out there could help I'd really appreciate it. Thanks.

OK, anything that says "ineligible" or "error" is NOT in the cloud. Itunes match may have told you that the matching process was complete, but all it was telling you was that the SESSION was complete. Only items with a "matched" or "uploaded" icon next to them are in the cloud. So this is your real problem. Your iPhone is telling you the truth.
It's clear you have some reading to do, followed by some work to on your iTunes library, but all is not lost. you can make copies of most ineligible songs within iTunes, re-run Match and get the eligible copies into the cloud. I could walk you through it, but Apple's been good enough to provide support documents, which I'll link you to at the bottom of this message.
The most important thing you need to do first, is to figure out what kind of files you have that are ineligible. Keep in mind that iTunes Match only accepts music, not audiobooks, not music videos (except those purchased through the iTunes store), so some things in your iTunes library aren't going to work no matter what. If you have any Digital Rights Management (DRM) protected tracks, those will work, provided the computer you are using for iTunes Match is authorized to play them. Usually the tracks that people find are ineligible are low bitrate MP3s - songs they didn't purchase through iTunes. Some other music file types also are ineligible.
In both cases, the solution is to highlight those songs, go to the Advanced menu in iTUnes and select "Make AAC version." What I do is let it make the copies, then without clicking anywhere in iTunes I hit the delete key. This will delete the originals, but leave the new copies. You can opt to just have them removed from your library, so they simply will no longer show up in iTunes (preferable until you are sure the copies are ok))
That's the short story. Here's a link to the support documents.

Accessing audiobooks on iPod

Apparently, there is no way to access audiobooks except by having to do a general search. Then I can get it and listen to it. It's a bit of a pain. Shouldn't I be able to get it directly from an audiobooks heading as one would do with music?

OK, I did a search in the 3rd Gen. section and found the answer, which I would have done in the first place had I gone to the right discussion area. Sorry. Anyway here is the answer, in case anyone else needs the info. Thank you all.

How can I access my iCloud account on the web from my phone

how can I access my iCloud account on the web from my phone
iPhone 5 iOS 8.3
I have iCloud turned on, location services on, find my phone works but when I try to access iCloud via Safari on the phone it takes me to a page Apple.com,
iCloud then three options
set up iCloud on my phone (i have)
Install Find my phone, it is installed and it works from my MBP
or install find my friends, I don't need that I have no friends.
my calendars and contacts and bookmarks and all are all sync'd and working on the phone, but i thought if I typed in iCloud.com on the phone in Safari I would go to my iCloud web page that looks like this on my Mac.
Is that NOT how iCloud should/would look on my phone via Safari?
This is maybe a dumb question after 3+ year of iPhone'ing
thank you for clarifying or helping me to understand

I've been playing with a Galaxy here at work and here's what I've found so far - please feel free to jump in and suggest alternative methods to configure or access the various icloud components.
So the original Q: Can you access your icloud account on Android?
Not entirely: the website can't be used from an android browser (not properly - even with Dolphin HD and posing as different browsers it won't load correctly. So Find my iphone is out, so is the address book or looking at your e-mail or calendar just in a browser window
I was able to setup my e-mail using the IMAP settings published here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4864
Be sure to setup the account manually - and note if you have trouble using SSL try TLS (that worked for me)
Address book is a no go so you'll have to use iTunes to sync all your contacts over to Gmail - if you still have an iPad it means managing contacts in two places though . Same goes for your calendar - transfer it to Gmail and forget about iCloud's calendar. Nice instructions here: http://howto.cnet.com/8301-11310_39-20064060-285/how-to-switch-from-iphone-to-an droid/
iWork is an Apple proprietary bit so don't expect much there.
So in my case, if I'm really going to make the switch to a Galaxy from my iPhone it really means I'm going to have to switch to using google as the backend. The timing to swap over to a galaxy/android phone is not the greatest - given that I'd have to give up my Apple addiction (syncing photos and itunes and losing access to my device tracking). Plus I still have an iPad and a mac and like living in the Apple ecosystem. I think I'll wait and see what the new iPhone looks like before I commit

When I plug in my Ipod touch to my computer a warning appears "The program cant start because MSVCR80.dll is missing." I can not access my Itunes library. Also, an "error 7 Windows error 126" appears as well. Any ideas?

I have NO IDEA what the heck to do.
Any ideas?

There is no solution. You have to provide the ID and password. There is no way around it. If the person you bought it from can't provide it, return it and get your money back.

I sent my iphone for repair. before I sent it I did a backup (on the 7th of august). no i got my phone back but in iTunes I only see a backup from 21st of july. How can I access my latest back up?

I sent my iPhone to Apple for repair. Before I sent it I did a backup (on the 7th of August). Today I got it back, but my iTunes only shows me a backup from 21st july and from today. How can I access my backup from 7th of august?

You should really read the manual.
"How do you restore from backup? "
Restore. When given the choice, choose to use backup.
"And how can I check to see if the pics and videos are on my computer somewhere first??"
They would only be where you put them. What program did you use to import them? Pics/vids taken with ipod are not part of the sync process at all. You should be importing them just as you would with any digital camera.
If you did not import them, then they are not on your computer.

Application no longer assignable to a desktop in Spaces. Useable only in full screen, can't access it when not in full screen.

This is a repost to correctly ID this as a Spaces issue. I am using a MacBook Pro with a second monitor in extended desktop. I put iMovie in full screen and when I put it back, it disappeared off of both desktops. I can see it in Spaces and I can use it in full screen. However, it is not available when not in full screen. When I drag and drop it in Spaces to a desktop, it animates off of the top of the screen versus landing on that desktop. I have tried to change the application assignment by right clicking on the iMovie Icon > Options > Assign To, but it affects nothing. I have rebooted both with the external monitor and without, I have uninstalled and reinstalled iMovie and I have tried many combinations of screen resolutions and it is still assigned somewhere other than a desktop. It appears to no longer be associated with or assignable to a desktop. Anyone have any ideas?

Can you access iMovie without being in fullscreen when you do not have an external monitor connected? I cannot. No matter the monitor configuration, it is only accessible in full screen for me.
I agree - it is for sure a bug.
