Can't download audiobooks in iTunes7

I follow all the correct steps to download audiobooks in iTunes7, and it appears as if it is downloading. The title even appears under the Audiobooks catagory in the iPod while viewing on the desktop with iTunes.
But when I disconnect the iPod and try to find the book on the iPod, it is not there! Not under Audiobooks, and not under Playlists.
Two other interesting facts:
1. music downloads just fine.
2. I have kept iTunes6 on my laptop, and it will download the audiobooks to the iPod just fine (this is the only way I can get audiobooks into my iPod now, so I will not upgrade to iTunes7 on the laptop until this problem is fixed.)
Anybody have any solutions for this?
Thanks, Tromba1

I am having the same problem. My AudioBooks are ending up in my Music Library on my iPod and I can not figure out how to move them to my Audio Books Library. Try looking in your Music Library.
Is there a way to move my audio books from my Music Library to my Audio Books library??

HT201272 How can I download audiobooks purchased on audible to my iPod from my iTunes library

Two audiobooks that are still in my itunes library and used to be on my ipod are now removed from my ipod (don't know why). They were purchased from audible and worked on my ipod for years but now I can't download them...again even though they are in my library under 'audiobooks. Suggestions please.

If you bought them directly from audible.com then, as far as I know, you should have been able to redownload them from audible for free.
They show in the Audiobooks part of your Mac's iTunes library, and they play ok on there ?
And when trying to sync them you're doing what I said in my above reply e.g. you've selected them on the iPod's Books (Audiobooks ?) tab and then applied/synced that selection (I don't have an iPod Classic but I assume that they have similar syncing screens as on other device)
Does the 'screen' at the top of iTunes then appear to be showing that they are being synced to your iPod ?
You could try asking in iPod Classic forum, you will probably get better help there.

IPOD Nano can't download audiobook over 20 hours?

I down loaded a 36 hour audiobook to my imac and then to my ipod. The Nano has allowed me to listen to 22 chapters and it will not play beyond that. My iMac will allow me to listen to all 56 chapters. I have tried re-downloading but Nano will still not go beyond chapter 22. I called the audiobook download service and they tell me that iPods are not designed to play titles over 20 hours. I have never heard this before. My Nano is 16gb and this is the only book on it. The download service suggests that I try downloading this large book in Parts.
Has anyone out there had this experience and if so what did you do to fix the problem. If what the download service tells me is true I may need to find another way to listen to audiobooks-----but-- I don't want to do this. Help!!

this is happening to me too. I have a first generation touch ipod with the latest software installed, also the latest itunes software installed. i tried resetting the ipod then restoring it and it's still happening. I hope someone can figure out what's wrong.

New itunes: dropped all my audiobooks. Can't download audiobooks either. I'm sick of Apple products.

New itunes dropped all my audiobooks. Now I am trying to download some new ones and it will not even continue. It has locked up. I use Overdrive Media. It seems like Apple doesn't design their products for my needs. I use my ipod to listen to books while I exercise. I spent an hour on the phone trying to fix this. It was never fixed and my call was dropped four times.

They are not lost. Do a spotlight search for a title. In spotlight at the bottom of the page,you will find the path to the title : macintosh/users/music/iTunes/itunes music/...
I can not getmy titles to show up in the beautiful cover flow view that the old itunes had. Let you know if I figure that one out. For now be assured you did not lose anything.

Can no longer download audiobooks.

I can't download audiobooks from the library after IOS 5 update.

From what I understand, the problem may be with the overdrive media software's compatibility with IOS 5. But, I think overdrive media is working on it.
I am having the same problem but have found a quick fix. When in itunes after you transfer the audiobooks to your iphone you see them on your device under books, you can then create a playlist in the device and drag and drop the audiobooks file into the new playlist.
The files also came over with a number for the title and no author. I fixed this by right clicking on the file then choosing "get info" and making the corrections.
I hope this helps.

HT201272 how can I download previoulsy purchased audiobooks?

I am trying to download a previously purchased audiobook but I can't find the way to do it.

If you buy an audiobook on CD you'll find it needs some effort to get it organized to play on Apple device. See Audiobooks on iPod for details.
Audiobooks purchased from the iTunes Store should be packaged as a single chapterized file that works better on Apple devices. At the present time you are only allowed one download of any audiobook, but you can backup those files just as you would any other.
Even though you can repeat download certain purchased content you should really backup your iTunes library regularly to avoid having to redo any work you've put into organizing your library along with ratings, playlists, and any media you can't download again. For a suggested strategy see this user tip.
