Digital booklet listed as music, not book

I recently purchased an album from iTunes Store, it came with a digital booklet, a PDF file, but it is listed under music, not books. In the Get Info section under Options, media kind is listed as music, not book and is grayed out so I am unable to change it. Is there a waqy to fix this?

I'm not sure why you can't change the media kind, but if you copy the file from the album folder and paste it into the Automatically Add to iTunes folder you should get a copy that will transfer to iBooks.

Digital booklet from album did not download

My digital booklet for soundtrack album, Skyfall, did not download. I purchased whole album but it still won't let me download. Any suggestions?

I tried a few things. Not sure which one made it work. These are from an HP standpoint.
One attempt was going to the Edit toolbar/Preferences/Store button and click Always check for downloads and click the Books box.
The second was by going to View/Show Sidebar. Then under Store, doing a left click on the "Purchased" and select "Check for available downloads."
Hope that helps.

Digital Booklet showing in Books but not in iBook

Hi ,
I have changed the Digital Booklet from file > get content into Book.
Then, under the iPad Device, the Digital Booklet appears to be in Books and I tick it and try to sync it over to my device.
After sync, the Digital Booklet is not at my device.
In addition, I cannot see the Digital Booklet at iBook at my MAC OS X as well but it is visible at the Books under device setting there.
I have no idea why the Digital Booklet is showing at Books section but cannot sync over to my device or to my iBook at Macbook.
I want to try to convert it back to the iTunes but it seems I cannot find a place to convert it back so that it can be view from iTunes.
Please help on this.
Thanks

No problem. Have fun with your iPod.

ITunes digital Booklet not working

When I purchased AMOK by Atoms for Peace, I noticed that the digital booklet was not working.
The file “Digital Booklet - AMOK.pdf” could not be opened.
It may be damaged or use a file format that Preview doesn't recognize.
Now of course I have Adobe reader installed, but I didn't think much of it at the time. Then I purchased a new macbook pro retiring my old black Macbook. I have Adobe reader installed, but have the same problem when I downloaded the album off of iCloud.
Could this have been a mistake on the upload of the album to iTunes by the digital manager of Atoms for Peace? Or I am missing something?
Not really a big deal, but I thought I should reach out and see if anyone has/had this problem.

Digital booklets are nothing but PDF files, that should (theoretically) open in any normal PDF viewer. (Interactive booklets, on the other hand, are Flash/Quicktimes files that have all kinds of fancy features but can be more buggy).
You might want to try to open the PDF file in a different viewer, to make sure that it's not a problem with Acrobat. If it won't open in any viewer, your best best is to contact iTunes Support about the bad file.

Strange behaviour of digital booklets

Hi everyone
yesterday I realized that some of the digital booklets I have in iTunes show up in the albums view (listed as first track of the album) but not in "books" and some show up in the books section but not in the album the belong to. In addition to that there is one digital booklet which shows up in "books" but when I double click it, the album starts playing instead of the booklet beeing opened.
Is anyone experiencing that, too? Does anyone know why that happens and what to do about it?
Thanks for any suggestion!

Hi,
Did you drop and reload the data after changing the conversion?
Regards,
Raghavendra.

I downloaded a CD with a digital booklet and the booklet won't open.

All of the songs will play, but when I try to open the digital booklet, it says "The file could not be opened. It may be damaged or use a file format that Preview doesn’t recognize." Any ideas on how I can view this? I paid for it so I'd like to be able to use it.

Hey there Emily,
It sounds like you downloaded the digital booklet and it will not open. I would suggest you delete the file from your iTunes library, and then re download it from the iTunes store with this article:
iTunes 11 for Mac: Download previous purchases from the iTunes Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12283
Click iTunes Store near the top of the iTunes window.
Click the Purchased link at the right of the iTunes Store homepage (below Quick Links).
In the page that appears, select a category.iTunes shows you which of your purchases are available for download. You can view all of your past purchases, or just the ones not currently in your iTunes library. Items already in your library aren’t available for download.If you select Music, you can view your purchases by song, artist, or album. If you’re viewing by album, click an album to see which songs on it are available for downloading.To search for an item, type its name or a keyword in the search field, and then press the Return key to view your search results.
To download an item, click its Download button .
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

Trying to sync audiobooks, that are listed in music by hitting "get info" and trying under options to pick audiobooks. The dropdown menu only shows books, and they will not sync to my IPad

Trying to sync audio books to my ipad. I downloaded audiobooks to my itunes on my computer, but the only thing that shows up is books. It will not sync to my iPad. They are listed under music and when I hit "get info" and options, the only option it gives me is books.

OK, found my answer to Problem 2: I need to upgrade my OS to 10.7.4 or higher.
Still puzzling over the login...

I recently moved to USA from Canada. I have not changed my apple id but I have changed my phone and computer. Is there a way to retrieve my purchased music via iTunes? I checked what was available to download and only got a few digital booklets.

Most Windows users don't.
Purchase an external hard drive and use the backup software that comes with it to backup files from your computer.
Buy TouchCopy and install it on your new computer, connect your old iPod and transfer your songs to your computer.

Converted iTunes Digital Booklets not syncing to iBooks

I have followed the instructions for converting my Digital Booklets in iTunes from "Music" items to "Book" items. That places them in the Books section of my media. When I connect my iPhone 3GS (running iOS4 and iBooks installed) I go to the Books tab and check the box for "sync all". None of the Digital Booklets sync. I have one iLounge Buyers Guide PDF that syncs just fine. I go back and "sync only selected" and select a handful of Digital Booklets. Still nothing. Is anyone else trying this yet? Anyone have any luck? Maybe someone else is having this issue.

I never figured out why this didn't work as simply as the support article made it sound. But, I did find out a way to get them in. I had to do a spotlight search for "booklet". Then I separated the booklets in iTunes by doing a "booklet search there as well. Once I was sure I had all the files in my spotlight search, I deleted all the booklets from iTunes...BUT KEPT THE ORIGINAL FILES. Then I dragged the files from my spotlight search back into iTunes. Then they all synced over to my iPhone/iBooks.

Digital Booklet - music and booklet in unfortunate separation.

Hi everyone - this is my first post in this forum.
I have an annoyance with iTunes and it is driving me to the border of sanity... Here goes:
I've purchased an album in iTunes including a digital booklet. At first all appeared to be correct. However, I wanted to be able to view my booklet on the iPhone 3GS, so I changed the booklet's type to 'Book' instead of 'Music'. Now it disappeared from the album and appeared in Books and sync'ed perfectly to the iPhone - no problem so far.
OK - then after some weeks or so I removed the album and booklet from my iPhone and I wanted to view the booklet as type 'Music' in iTunes again. Change type to 'Music' and ...??? What the... Allright, the booklet is in "place" in 'Music' but as a separate album.
Why is that - and more important --> how do I fix it? Tags are already updated in the booklet to reflect the correct artist and album.

I bought an album that comes with a digital booklet but the file won't open as it said that 'file is damaged or not supported by Preview'

I just bought the album Everybody by SHINee and it comes with a digital booklet. However, when I try to open the booklet,
Can anyone help me with this?

Assuming other digital booklets and general PDF files open normally...
Delete the current copy from your library, Don't hide from iTunes in the Cloud if prompted. Close iTunes, Reopen. Look in iTunes Store > Quick Links > Purchased > Music > Not on this computer, download if available, otherwise go to your account and use the "report a problem" links to contact the iTunes store support team and explain the problem.
