Can't add audible books to iTunes 11

I recently updated to iTunes 11 and I can no longer add audible books to my iTunes.
When I try to drag the downloaded audiobook file to iTunes it just doesn't do anything. The blue outline on the window in iTunes lights up like I have it selected to go in, but when I let go the audiobook never appears. It does the same thing when I select the file via the Add to Library menu. There is no error, no sound, no nothing. The audiobook just doesn't show up in iTunes.
I have redownloaded the .aa audiobook file several times with same results. I have tried downloading different audiobooks that I already own just to try those out, and when adding those .aa files, I am met with the same issue. I have tried each of the different audible formats as well to no avail.
The audible books I already have in my iTunes work just fine. I deauthorized my audible account and reauthorized it by trying to listen to an audiobook already in iTunes and it worked fine. I have restarted my iTunes and my computer several times.
Anybody else having this issue? Any ideas on a fix? It's a real bummer.

I tried several times to add a new audiobook to iTunes 11 and it didn't show up. But the next time I synched my ipod, the display showed that it was copying the book to my ipod and it's there now and now I can see my book in iTunes. Weird, but at least I can get the book onto my ipod, which was the whole point!

I have an iPad 2 with iOS 5.1 and iBooks version 2.1.1. I have 64GB of storage, 80% is used. iBooks is using 250MB of storage. I have a large number of PDF files in my iBooks library. At this time I can not add another book or PDF file to my library.

At this time I can not add another book or PDF file to my library. When I try to move a PDF file to iBooks the system works for a while...sometimes the file appears and than disappears....sometimes the file never appears. Is ther some limit to the number of books or total storage used in IBooks? Thanks....

Hi jybravo70,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
It sounds like you may be experiencing issues on your non iOS 8 devices because iOS 8 is required to set up or join a Family Sharing group.
The following information is located in the print at the bottom of the article.
Apple - iCloud - Family Sharing
Family Sharing requires a personal Apple ID signed in to iCloud and iTunes. Music, movies, TV shows, and books can be downloaded on up to 10 devices per account, five of which can be computers. iOS 8 and OS X Yosemite are required to set up or join a Family Sharing group and are recommended for full functionality. Not all content is eligible for Family Sharing.
Have a great day,
Joe

Can't add pdf book to iBooks

Upgraded to iOS 8.3 on iPad Mini, using Mavericks and iTunes 12,1,2,27 on early 2008 MacPro
Can't add pdf books to iBooks like i used to . I normally use the add to library command to achieve this but books don't show up
Following numerous tries and un plugging iPad Mini and restarting iTunes, i searched for my iPad library in my home lib ray to discover the books i wanted to add are now in the iTunes Media folder (where my music is) but as unknown artist. I have separate libraries for my iPhone and another iPad and these show the books folder which seems to have disappeared from my iPad folder.
Also when trying to synchronize iTunes said it lost connection and could not save my iPad Mini numerous times.
Also the general info bar at the bottom of my iTunes window is now all confused as to the size and contents of my iPad Mini. I have about 25000 photos and it says i only have 235Mb of photos where it should be closer to 15 GB. The miscellaneous portion in that bar is rating this content at about 16Gb.
Can someone help ?

This probably isn't helpful, but what you did does work in 10.6 Snow Leopard.
I dragged one of my PDF eBooks into iTunes and it showed up in the Books section.
But when I clicked on it, it displayed it in Adobe Acrobat, just the same as if I'd clicked on the original file itself.
I don't see any advantatge to importing eBooks into iTunes, especially PDF eBooks ... unless you're syncing with an iPhone, I guess ... even then you'll need a good pdf viewer on the iPhone unless you convert the PDFs to ePubs.
You might also post your problem in the 10.7 Lion discussion group.

I have new iphone and all data were restored but my music! How can I add my music from Itunes and new iphone?

Connect the old phone to your computer, right click on it in iTunes, and choose Transfer Purchases. That should put all of your music in iTunes except any tracks that were not purchased from iTunes. If you have any such you will have to retrieve them from the original source, or see: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141.
Apple also has this tip for copying data from an old phone to a new one.

Can't add m4a files in itunes

When I try to add m4a files in itunes it did not add it. Please help how can I add m4a files in itunes.

Further info: my housemate just drop-boxed (mac to mac) a few of his albums that work fine in his iTunes and the same thing, they'll show in a playlist with their correct details but not in the main library. iTunes is definitely processing after I add them, and they are definitely not corrupt (shown MP3 scan +repair) - I've attached a couple of pictures to clarify.
Please help! I'm a bit OCB about my music being organised correctly I'll admit!

Can I read a book in itunes, that I bought on my iphone using ibooks?

Can I read a book in itunes, that I bought on my iphone using ibooks. I can see the book listed in itunes, but can I read the book in itunes on my pc?

No. It is only showing in iTunes as part of the sync and backup aspect of iTunes. An iBook is an epub formatted ebook, and is only readable in the iBook app, which is only available for Apple mobile devices.

I can't add music files to iTunes

Since 10.4 I can't add music files to iTunes. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
iTunes seems to scan and add them in gray, but fails to add the files to iTunes.
My exact problem is described over here: http://www.betalogue.com/2011/07/25/itunes104-addingfiles/
Any ideas?

In the Finder, press the key combination shift-command-C, or select
Go ▹ Computer
from the menu bar. A window will open showing all mounted volumes. Select the one in question and open the Info window. What is shown as the Format in the General section?

Can't see Audible books in iPod Nano 5th gen

I can't figure out how to play audiobooks from audible on my iPod Nano 5th generation. I can synch and play them on my iPhone 5 just fine, by selecting Audiobooks under Music. However, there is no Audiobooks option under music on my nano. There is also no iBooks application. I checked iTunes summary and my nano software is up-to-date for that nano (version 1.0.2). Has anyone run into this and found a solution? Thanks, any advice appreciated.

There is also no iBooks application.
iBooks are not compatible with your Nano.
Did you add the Audible books to your iPod Nano the same way you added you did the iPhone?
Head to Settings -> General -> Music Menu and make sure Audiobooks has a check mark next to it.

How can I burn audible book to disc with chapters?

When I burn an audible book to disc, instead of chapters itunes breaks the recording into 7 minute tracks. The chapter information is there in itunes - I can see it and navigate using it. What am I doing wrong?
Any help appreciated!

Hi Joanna,
What Adobe application are you working with? Are you working with a PDF file in Reader or Acrobat? Is the Save As command available? If you are using Acrobat/Reader, is the PDF password protected (do you see SECURED in the title bar)?
Best,
Sara
