Can't sync audiobook to nano

Hello, I purchased an audiobook and I am trying to sync it to my nano. It says sync complete but it doesn't show up on my nano.

Hey, TheMightyWitt.
To sync Audiobooks from your computer to your iOS device, we'll want to follow the basic syncing instructions outlined in this article:
iOS: Syncing with iTunes
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1386
Specifically, what we are looking for is the "Books" tab at the top of iTunes (When your iPhone is plugged in). Here is what it looks like:
Once on the Books tab, there are two separate sections for syncing regular digital Books and Audiobooks. Make sure that the "Sync Audiobooks" checkbox is checked and choose to either sync all or selected audiobooks. Once these changes are applied, the Audiobooks will be transferred to your device for your enjoyment!
Happy Listening,
Matt M.

    How is your iPod configured to sync content from your iTunes library? Any error messages during the sync process? 
    You may want to reset warnings on the device by right->clicking on it under Devices and choosing Reset Warnings.  Then resync the iPod to see if any alerts appear.
    Is this the same computer you normally sync the Nano with?

  • Can you sync an ipod nano 5th gen with more than one computer

    Can you sync an Ipod nano 5th generations with more than one computer.  One is a Dell with xp operating system and the other is an Mac laptop.

    It is possible to sync your iPod with multiple computers, but syncing with different platforms is not supported by Apple.  See this article for more details on how to get this set up.

  • Can I sync my ipod nano with my second computer/ netbook while travelling?

    Looking for some advice on how to connect my IPod nano with my second computer while travelling. That's what happened: I have my iTunes library on my computer at home and can sync my IPod nano (6 th generation, replaced onyl recently) with that library. While I was travelling and wanted to use my IPod I received an error message asking me to connect the IPod with iTunes in order to recover/restore (sorry, the message apeared in German, so I do not know the exact wording in English) . As I only had my second computer - a small netbook - with me, I downloaded iTunes and connected the iPod - only to receive the message that this Ipod would sync with another computer (sure!) and would I want to sync it with this iTunes library instead now? (Of course not, I did not dare because that library was empty!). So there I was with my computer with iTunes library at home and an iPod stuck in recovery mode and not doing a thing during my vacation. Any suggestions? If I have to take my great big workstation with me to get the iPod running again, I might just as well leave the iPod immobile at home. (;-)

    On your home computer connect your Nano, click on the name in iTunes, move right to the Summary tab then tick the box that says Manually Manage Music. You will now have to er, manually drag your music to your iPod, and manually eject it when done, but you will be able to add music from two different computers.

  • I can't sync my ipod nano, 6th generation! :(

    Hi there!
    I'm new to this community, but I've used apple for a long time. I recently bought a "new-ish" ipod nano off of Amazon. Its in great condition but I can't sync my library or specific playlist to it. It says a folder is missing. Also the manual suggest a usb 2.0 port, is that necessary for the nano? I only have regular usb ports.
    I've been without an ipod for some time and I was really excited to have my music with me no matter where I went, and I find myself discouraged.
    Help?
    -Ken

    I haven't reinstalled from scratch because I'm scared of losing all of my music (have about 8.2 days worth -- most CD's, a lot bought on iTunes).
    As for the ports, are the 2.0 ports required for syncronization?
    I noticed that my computer will only recognize the ipod in a drive after the initial plug in, then the computer no longer recognizes it, but iTunes sees it. I feel like it won't sync because the computer doesn't recognize it at all. The ipod charges from the computer, but like I said, reading it isn't consistent.
    ~~~~~~
    I used to own an old 30gb ipod classic that I got back in 2007. I lost it somehow over the summer. I've had the same computer through this time, and it would charge that ipod perfectly, sync it perfectly, everything was beautiful. Nothing has changed but the ipod and the generation.
    Is that really all it needs to make the difference?
    Thanks again!

  • Can't sync audiobooks after IOS 5 upgrade.

    After IOS 5 upgrade I am unable to Sync my iphone 4 either by WiFi or connected via USB.
    Itunes becomes un responsive after "Determining tracks to sync".  Have been able to sync only after disabling Audiobooks sync.
    SO far have done the following.
    - Changed the USB cable
    - Re "Keep Library Origanized"
    - Created new playlist with 1 audiobook.
    Itunes crashes everytime.
    Have been able to sync my ipad 2 & nano with no issues.
    Anyone have any ideas before I toast my iphone & start from scratch?

    Nothing syncs if I have sync audiobooks turned on.
    First I didn't know what the problem was and I even wiped my iPhone and started from scrach (what a pain it was).
    Nothing. No music, no Apps, no ringtones, no audiobooks.
    I installed some apps via the app store, and some audiobooks with audible app.
    But the rest still didn't work.
    Then I clicked "Tranfer purchases from ...'s iPhone" on iTunes and some of my music and ringtones started to transfer to the iPhone!! Partially. I had to click it again to get the rest of the music and ringtones. But the audiobooks didn't transfer. Not even from a playlist.
    After I unchecked Sync Audiobooks, I managed to get some apps transfered to the iPhone but they're still "Waiting" not "Loading." Every time I click on sync a little bit of the apps transfer, but then their status goes back to "loading."
    My biggest problem is that I have non Audible audiobooks. These I don't know how to put in the iphone.

  • Can i sync an ipod nano with my ipad

    Hi
    Want to buy a new ipod nano bot my old 15 inch Powerbook is way out of spec, so was wondering whether I can syn the new iPad nano version 7 with iPad V3
    Thanks

    No. You can't sync an iPod with an iPad. You can download much of your purchased content again for free (if you use the same Apple ID) - not sure exactly what the Nano can hold other than music. But you can read about downloading past purchases here.

  • Can't Sync Audiobook from itunes on pc to my iphone5

    I purchased an audiobook from itunes on my pc and I can't get it onto my iphone5. The audiobook shows up in my pc's itunes library under books. (itunes version 11.0.2.26. iphone ios 6.1.3.)
    I followed instructions that I found to do this: From Devices in itunes on my pc, in Books folder I clicked Sync. Then I can see it goes through 3 steps (1:Waiting for Sync to start; 2:Preparing to Sync; 3:Waiting for changes to be applied) but these occur quickly and then it ends.
    There's plent of space on the iphone.
    In the itunes library, in Books, the title is listed and the box is checked.
    In devices, in options, "Sync only checked songs and videos" is checked.
    What am I missing?!

  • Can't sync 1st generation nano with iTunes 11

    The upgrade to iTunes 11 happened today without my consent, and now I'm finding that when I plug in my 1st gen nano to be synced, I can't find the device anywhere in iTunes and the iPod never stops syncing. Is there a fix?
    I love my 1st generation iPod nanos, and Apple doesn't offer anything with its form factor anymore (small, light, controls you can use without looking). Also 3rd gen and later nanos don't work with accessories that I depend on for my car and home (they won't charge). I recently bought my second 1st gen from Amazon (used). If my iPods stop working, I'll probably ditch iTunes and iPods altogether and switch to some other device/library/purchase ecosystem.

    Honestly, I probably would, except Apple doesn't make an iPod like the one I have anymore. The new nanos have touch screens, and when I asked at the Apple Store whether it's possible to work them without looking (like in the car), they told me that I should go on-line and buy an older, refurbished iPod nano. Which I did, just a couple months ago. And now it doesn't seem to work with iTunes anymore. (And then there's also the fact that I won't be able to play a new nano in my car, but that's a longer story.)
    This is the price of buying into a closed ecosystem with few device choices, and this may be the last straw for me. Apple may think it's being smart by making money off unnecessary upgrades, or maybe in the cost/benefit analysis they decide it's not worth making their new software backward-compatible with their own devices. But I was a good Apple and iTunes customer, and if I manage to find an alternative to iTunes/iPod, they won't get me back.
    Heck, if I can't find an alternative, maybe I'll do a start-up and build one.

  • Can't sync my Ipod nano-2nd generation

    I have a 2nd generation Ipod Nano.  My original cable that I received with my Nano stopped working.  So I recently purchased another cable from Quill, an office supply company that sells Apple products.  Now I can charge my Nano, but cannot sync my Ipod to Itunes.  I usually sync to my Windows 7 pc at work, and charge my Ipod on my home pc running under Windows XP (still).
    Should I go and purchase another cable from the Apple Store directly?  Or can someone tell me a tip on using the current, recently purchased cable?

    Hi, Zane,
         I did get my Ipod nano to sync to my Itunes, but using my new Apple cable from the office supply store.  Here's how:  first, I uninstall and reinstall my Itunes software with Ipod still plugged in thru the new cable to the pc (I was on my Win 7 one), and second, pressed the menu and center button together to reset my Ipod.  That's all it took to get Itunes to start syncing with my Ipod nano. 
         Thought I'd mention it here so others can see how I got it to work. 

  • Cannot sync audiobooks to nano 6g

    I'm not able to sync my nano 6g with down loaded audiobooks. Help please.

    Ok. So it happens in iTunes before an iPod even gets involved.
    First, you should also post this in the iTunes forum.  Next, you should de-authorize and re-authorize your iTunes on your computer and try again.
    If that fails, and no other advice you get from the iTunes form works, try re-installing iTunes. Here is a link to help you work through that:
