Do audio books downloaded from itunes play on my ipod shuffle?

I bought a book for $17.95 and it says it downloaded it but it won't play. HELP!

If you cannot get your audio books to play on your 4th gen shuffle, hit play. While songs are playing hold down your VOICE OVER button until you hear names of songs and keep holding it. When you hear the title of your audio book or podcast you wish to hear release the VOICE OVER button. Hit PLAY one time. I spent 50+ minutes with apple support & they were finally able find out about the VOICE OVER button. Wish that was on the directions in the first place.

Audio book download from iTunes where is this stored on yr iPad 2

Hi all, I am trying to find where my purchased audio book has been stored by my ipad2. I have successful purchased an podcast from iTunes and easily found how to access this. I have retraced my steps via iTunes and it is telling me it's downloaded but it's hiding and it's driving me mad. As u have guessed Christmas present, thank u

It should have downloaded into the Music app - when you have audiobooks on an iPad you will get an Audiobooks option under the More button at the bottom of the Music app.
Note that audiobooks are currently a one-time only download from the store (so they won't appear in the Purchased tab for re-downloading), so you may want to copy it to your computer's iTunes via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases so that you can take a backup copy of it - it should copy over to the Books part of your iTunes library.

Audio book download from iTunes

I tried to download an audio book to my 2 week old, IPOD Classic....and it won't download and I get a message "The book was not copied to IPOD because it cannot be played on this IPOD.....I don't understand, are there different audiobooks for different IPODs?

I've had 2 updates to my iTunes software since I purchased my IPOD, seems like once a week there is an update. I'm not sure how to check the authorization, I was looking in my computer settings and didn't see any authorization option. Since this is a home computer, it is not in a network or anything like that. many thanks....for any assistance on the authorization setting location

Song downloaded from iTunes plays fine in iTunes, but only first 15 seconds will play on iPod then skips to next song?

Songs that I download from iTunes play ok in iTunes. On iPod classic though, SOME (but not ALL) of these downloaded songs will only play for 15 seconds or so before it skips to the next song. It is random in that some songs off the same album will do this, but others not. Any ideas?

Try this Hard Reset
After charging till full charge, at least 2 hours (preferably 4 hours)
Toggle the Hold switch, make sure you dont see the red mark when you do the next step
Reset the iPod -> Press Menu and Center button simultaneously for about 10 secs till the Apple Logo comes ON
Then release the buttons
Select your preferred language.
Test the sound again.
Here is the Apple support Article on the 5Rs

If these songs are in MP3 format, google and download MP3 Validator and run through songs in the library.
Good Luck!

How do i open a book downloaded from itunes on my macbook pro since it is not a mobile device

how do i open a book downloaded from itunes on my macbook pro since it is not a mobile device

Okay i looked them up and YES they are compatible with macs. if it's formatted for windows then no it will not show up on the mac, you need to repartition it on windows or try and see if you can pick it up in Disk Utility on osX. The following link is for this HD but talking about a mac PowerBook, it should be the same for you even if you are using the Intel macs. http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/other-hardware-peripherals/146258-iomega-portab le-hard-drive-not-mounting.html

Adding slideshow to audio track downloaded from Itunes

I can get to the part alright about adding the slidshow to the audio track but then I can't do anything. I can't save export nada. It is really fustrating as I got it to a point where I like the slideshow but then it just won't save the file. Not at all. I check the info and see the audio and video are there but I can't go any further.

The music downloaded from iTunes is protected and thus you can't export it to another form. You may be able to make a CD from a playlist that includes the tune and then re-inport it that way in unprotected form.

Bookmarking audio books downloaded from CDs

I'm asking this question on the behalf of my cousin . . . don't know which iPod she has or what Windows OS she's using. Can't find a related subject. Can anyone help?

I think I know what you mean. I have run across one major issue when importing books from CDs, and that is bookmarking. Specifically, how to save your place in a multi-track playlist (such as a CD imported book).
1. It is easy to make TRACKS bookmarkable... here is a script to do that as a batch.
http://www.dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/scripts07.php?page=3#makebookmarkable
The problem is, audio books imported from CDs are multiple tracks... and end up, not as single tracks, but as playlists.
2. Apple has failed to make a PLAYLIST bookmarkable, and you will have to remember what track number you are on in the book. The TRACKS are bookmarkable, the PLAYLIST is not. So, if ever you want to leave and return to the book, it will remember where you are inside a given track, but it will forget WHICH track you are on in the book. Silly, but true.
3. Ask Apple to create a "Save my place in this playlist" feature. Or maybe a "treat this playlist as a single audiobook" feature.
It is an oversight that may be easy to correct. Maybe they just haven't thought it through.
I drive my kids to school listening to Harry Potter. But when I get there, I want to save my place (in both playlist and track) and listen to my music. Then, when I pick them up, I want to resume from the place (both playlist and track) that I left off. Currently this requires my feeble brain to remember which of the 170 tracks I was on. I should not have to remember, iPod is more qualified than I am at this task.
Hey, Apple... Howzabout 3 "memories" which hold the position (in playlist and track). That would be a big enhancement to my daily iPod use.
Another enhancement would be to make a track "unshuffleable." I like my music shuffled, but it's disaster for my books. I got tired of going to settings after each school run, and turned shuffle off - since when it is on for music, it is on for books as well. Maybe, in addition to being bookmarkable, a playlist could be unshuffleable! Just another thought from someone who uses his iPod daily to listen to both music and books.

Seriously? Is there not any way to view DRM-protected books downloaded from iTunes on my MacBook Pro? I cannot believe that there is no way around this?

Seriously? Is there not any way to view and read DRM-protected books downloaded on iTunes on my MacBook Pro? I cannot believe that there is not any way around this! I seem to constantly get confounded by what seems to be the most amazingly unbelievable conundrums with Apple despite having been a champion of the company for years and years. This relates to tethering on iPhone, external Apple hard drives only being usable with MacBook Air, and now this! If anyone is aware of a hack or way around this I would appreciate some guidance. Thanks!

"Seriously? "
Yes.
" Is there not any way to view and read DRM-protected books downloaded on iTunes on my MacBook Pro?"
There is not.
" I cannot believe that there is not any way around this!"
Believe it.

HT2729 Why won't certain videos (downloaded from iTunes) sync on my iPod?

I have a new iPod Classic and it won't sync some of my videos. I've reset it. I've got everything checked. All files and videos play in my library. There all in the same location and files. Its After syncing I get the "some videos were not synced because the format is not supported". All the vids were downloaded from iTunes Store. WTH? Can anyone think of a solution? What is wrong?
Thanks,
WB

Hey Willm700,
Great question. iTunes defaults to downloading HD content when available, whereas your iPod classic is not compatible with HD playback. The solution would be to download the SD version of the content from your purchase history:
iTunes: Sync purchased HD videos to iPod or iOS device
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4223
The easiest way to put purchased videos onto your device is to download the videos from iTunes in the Cloud. This should make sure that you get the highest resolution video optimized for your specific device.

When I try to sync music from iTunes playlist to my Ipod shuffle it says the iPod is synced to a different liabrary. It asks if I want to delete the music already on the Ipod and sync it to "this" library. I don't want to lose the music already on Ipod.

Please help. I have no idea why this is happening and I'm kinda new to using iTunes. I'm trying to sync music from a playlist on my iTunes account onto my iPod Shuffle (older Shuffle). I use Windows XP on my laptop. When I try moving the songs to the iPod it says the iPod is synced to another library. I didn't know I had another library (but I guess it is possible because I used iTunes a few years ago too).
The only option I get is to delete the music already on the iPod and sync the iPod to "this" library. I really don't want to lose the music already on the iPod. PLEASE HELP. I'm tech challenged to say the least.

See this post.

Once you successfully add you iTunes library to iTunes Match, you go to Settings>iTunes & App Store on your iOS device and turn on iTunes Match. Your iTunes Match library will then appear on your iOS device.

I have a ton of audio books downloaded into iTunes. If I clear my download files in Finder will I lose them?

I have a MacBook Pro with Lion OS.

Hey Raffiecat,
Thanks for the question. If your iPod is setup to manually manage content, you can add content from multiple libraries:
Managing content manually on iPhone, iPad, and iPod
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1535
When manually managing content, you can add content from multiple libraries to your iPod or iPad. Even when manually managing music, some content may be available from only one library at time. This includes all content on iPhone and video content on iPod and iPad.
You can also learn which content you can import to your new computer from your iPod:

Or, if you still have access to the previous computer, you can transfer your iTunes Library:

When I download from iTunes to my new iPod nano, can I select only the one folder I have made for download -- do not want my whole music library to be synched.

Am I able to download only a selected music folder I have created in iTunes to my new iPod nano? I do not want to download my whole music library. Want to know before whole site sync starts up automatically.

What you CAN do is create a playlist in iTunes containing all the content you wish to be synced to your Nano. Then configure your Nano to sync only that one playlist from under the iPod's Music configuration tab in iTunes.
