Can you share audio books

We purchased with the family apple id on an ipad an audio book. We are trying to share the audio book to another computer that is authorized but are unable to and the home sharing is active  what else should we do

ckuan, he is referring to 'audiobooks' not 'ebooks'. Yes, you can access and playback audiobooks on a computer.
To answer the original question. When you bought the audiobook from the iPad did you also download it to the computer? My audiobooks share across the network and with my iOS devices just like all the other media I have including music, movies and TV shows. It will also get synced back to the computer you use to sync with your iPad for backups. It can be shred from that computer as well.
Be aware you can't share it from the iPad to a computer. You will need to download it separately on the computer from the iTunes Store. It will not be a new purchase it should download for free since you already paid for it on the iPad. It should show up in your iTunes in the Cloud purchased list when you view it in iTunes on a computer. Look for your purchased list on the right-hand side of the iTunes windows under Quick Links.

  • Can you share audio books in itunes match

    I just signed up for Itunes Match and the upload is done but I don't see my audiobooks that are in my library.  Any suggestions?

    Hi,
    You should be able to sync your audiobooks either with wifi or USB. Ensure that the media type is Audiobook.
    Whilst you cannot sync music with match turned on you can still sync Audiobooks.

  • Can you share kindle books using family sharing?

    Can you share kindle books using family sharing?

    Hi Charlie42,
    Happy New Year!  The link below explains how you can tell which purchased content is available to share using Family Sharing.   Contact Amazon for more specifics regarding sharing their content.  The Kindle app itself may be shareable, but the books may be considered an In-App purchase, making them not shareable.  Amazon would be able to give you a definitive answer.

    Which purchased content can I share using Family Sharing
    After you set up Family Sharing, the eligible songs, albums, movies, TV shows, books, and apps purchased by family members will be available to everyone else in the group. Learn what you can share with your family members.
    If you turned on Share My Purchases, you can share most content that's also available in iTunes in the Cloud. You can share Music, Movies, and TV shows from the iTunes Store. You can also share Books that you downloaded from the iBooks Store, and apps from the App Store. The availability of each content type depends on your country.
    There are a few things that you can't share:
    Songs added to iTunes Match from outside the iTunes Store
    In-App Purchases
    Items that are no longer available on the iTunes Store
    Items that were hidden
    Apps that aren't shareable
    If you're on an Apple TV, you can't access shared music.See if you can share an app

    If one of your family members received their content through Apple ID for Students, you won’t see it in their shared purchases. This includes apps and other content distributed through the school.
    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. Content can be hidden by family members; hidden content is not available for download. Content downloaded from family members or acquired via redemption codes is not subject to Ask to Buy.

  • Can you share purchased books with Home Sharing?

    Can you share purchased books (from IBooks) with Home Sharing? Music seems to share fine-books seem to be a problem.

    In iTunes go to Preferences > Sharing and either share your entire library or make sure the Books playlist is checked.
    You may then need to click the Import button to copy the book into your Library, I was not able to actually read the book without taking that step.

  • Can you share/lend books that have bought from iBook with others users?

    Can you share/lend books that have you have bought from iBook with other iPad users?

    At this time, unless I've missed something recently, you cannot. You can load an iBook onto multiple iPads if these are all owned by your household though (you can't give an iBook to a friend, for instance, or a relative that lives elsewhere).
    If the ability to lend books is important to you, you may wish to purchase Kindle books from Amazon, though you'll want to confirm that the book has lending enabled - not all do - and that the Kindle app for iOS supports lending.
    This is one of the several advantages of physical books; the ability to loan them out or give them to someone else. Whether the book publishers will ever allow similar unfettered handling of electronic books is unknown, though I'd guess they'll be dragged to it kicking and screaming.
    Regards.

  • HT4914 Can it share audio books?

    Can the cloud share audio books between ipad mini and iPhone 4?

    No, audiobooks are one-time only downloads from the store - you will need to sync them to any deivce that you want them on. If they aren't on your computer's iTunes then you should be able to copy them over from the device that they are on via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases, and you can then sync them to your other device(s).

  • Can you share photo books

    Hello!
    I am making a photo book on my macbook as a gift for a client at work and i want to put it on my boss's macbook pro for backup. I tried to email it and drop it in to an email but i cant drag it or open it. Is there any way to move this or share it to another computer? Let me know asap! Thanks
    Stepanie

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Can you connect to your boss's MBP via a LAN? If so you can connect to his Mac and copy the library to designated folder. Otherwise, put the library on a Flash drive and transfer it that way.
    If the library is large you can reduce it to just the photos in the book (and others that you think you might want to use) by following Old Toad's Tutorial 9a - Archiving an iPhoto 7/8 Book for Later Use/Editing. The bottom line is that the entire library has to be transferred so make it as small as possible, i.e cull out the unneeded photos first.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier versions) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
    NOTE: The new rebuild option in iPhoto 09 (v. 8.0.2), Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" makes this tip obsolete.

  • Can you sync audio books pause points between devices

    Greetings.
    I use different devices to listen to audio books, i.e. iPhone, iPad, Mac Pro...
    Is there a way to keep the pause points synced between devises. i.e. listening to an audio book in car on iPhone, getting home, going to your desktop and resuming where you left off on your iPhone.
    Thanks.

    Well I feel a little ridiculous now. I don't know why I didn't think of that, thanks

  • HT4059 CAN YOU SHARE IBOOK BOOKS WITH OTHER IBOOK USERS?

    No, not unless you give them access to your iTunes Store account (which would probably be a violation of the Store terms of use).

  • HT204081 Can you share purchased books with other iPads?

    ibooks are tied to your iTunes account and the can't be lent or transferred to other accounts - so unless she has access to your iTunes account then no.
