Downloading audiobooks from OverDrive Media Console

When I download an audiobook to my iphone4 using OverDrive Media Console it appears as being in correct order when I look at it in iTunes but not on my phone. How can I get it in the correct order on my phone.

I agree that transferring audiobooks to an iPhone using Overdrive is very flaky. My biggest issue now is that when I do a transfer, about every 3rd or 4th segment doesn't transfer successfully. I have to go back and select those and transfer again and then they are out of order with no apparent way to put them in the correct order. So when I start listening to the book, I have to closely monitor when I am at the end of a part so that I can manually select the next part.
My latest transfer of a book with 14 parts placed 2 versions in Audiobooks with the order 5, 12, 1, 2, 3, 6, 8, 9, 10, 13, 14. (missing parts 4, 7, and 11)
When I went back to Overdrive and selected parts 4, 7, and 11 to transfer, my iPhone then had a playlist with the book with the order 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 13, 14, 4, 7, 11.
Crazy!!

I have trouble transferring audiobooks from Overdrive Media Console. Sometimes the book does not transfer. Sometimes it winds up in music.

I just installed the latest version of iTunes to my windows 8 computer. I was downloading audiobooks through overdrive media console just fine until I downloaded this new version. It says it has been transferred but it's not in my iPod. Help!

I just installed the latest version of iTunes on my windows 8 computer. I was trying to transfer an audiobook I downloaded through overdrive media console to my iPod nano. Overdrive says it was transferred successfully, but it is not in my iPod. I have had no problems transferring audiobooks until I downloaded this new version. Help!

I just realized that part of my post got cut off. There was a message that i could not connect to the Apple store (and my genius stopped running).

After iOS5 ugrade, I can no longer sync audiobooks from Overdrive Media Console. Is there something I need to change?

I upgraded my 3rd generation Touch to iOS5 on Thursday and now I can't sync. I've made sure that my Import Settings are AAC Encoder/Spoken Podcast and Manually manage videos and songs and Convert to higher bitrate are also checked. What did I miss? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Do you mean a playlist created by Overdrive?
I downloaded the newest version of ODM yesterday. Couldn't do it from within the application, had to uninstall/reinstall it. Here's what's happening now with WMA, which is my preferred format:
-Instead of just moving the audiobook and cover graphic and all that over as in the past, now ODM creates a separate playlist under 'Books' in your device. Problem is, only some (seemingly random) tracks go over there. The others just show up under 'Books' but not in the specified playlist, so you have to drag them over in iTunes.
-If you stop listening, it starts over from the beginning next time you're ready to resume, so if you expect to find your place again right away like in the good old days, think again.
-For me the WORST PART is only so much data of that sort is permitted under 'Books' so it seems, because after a certain threshold the transferred parts of books become greyed out and cannot be played. You are limited to far less data in a period of time than previously. I used to be able to keep several books on my device at once and listen to multiple things depending on my mood etc. Now I can fit about 2-3 big books, or 4-6 smaller ones, MUCH less than previously was possible, which is a problem if you've waited for a popular title at the library that you don't have the room for (even though you have plenty of memory in the device).
All in all, I think ODM need to get their act together. We should not allow them to think they are done with this upgrade, the fixes might be okay for temporary, but they are unacceptable for a permanent format. They have a phone number on their website. I left a message. Others have been tweeting them too, not sure of the contact info.
Good luck everyone. Post back here if you find something out.

TS1538 apple ipod nano model a1285 with windows visita not downloading audiobook using overdrive media consol, help!

My apple nano 4th generation was working fine until about 2 weeks ago I downloaded a new updated from apple ?, after that I lost everthing, I've worked over 30 hours trying all suggestion including removing in sequence all apple related programs. My current driver is 6.0.6002.18112. Can anyone help me?

Whenever I try to download the new 7.x version,
everything is ok until the end of the installation
when I get this error "The older version of quicktime
cannot be removed. Contact your technical group." I
could not remove with add/remove, so I went into
registry and deleted all apple related items, but
still no help. I tried remove4ever software, but
still get the same error. I contacted Gateway, and
still no resolution.I made sure no other users were
using QT. So I did a system restore back to 6.x to
use my older ipod. A few more hrs of this and I'll
have paid for the nano. I have thought about
downloading yamipod, I am at my wits
end!!!!!!!

The iPod's screen indicates that the iPod is connected?
In Windows, the iPod will not appear as removable storage, unless it is set in iTunes to Enable disk use. By default, it is NOT set to Enable disk use.
In iTunes, if the sidebar (along left side of window) is hidden, from the iTunes menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar. When the iPod is connected, it should appear in the sidebar, under DEVICES. It does not appear there?

Error 0x80004002 - when trying to transfer an audio book from OverDrive Media Console

I am getting this error message - Error 0x80004002 - when trying to transfer an audio book from OverDrive Media Console. It was working a couple of weeks ago. It keeps telling me to downloan iTune9.0.2 (or newer) but I have the most up to date version of iTunes. Also tells me the device is not connected, but it is.

The publisher of the book seems to have restricted copying of the book on to other devices. Contact the book distributor.

How to transfer book from overdrive media console to iTunes 11?

I've downloaded a book from my library using Overdrive.
The Overdrive media console video shows how to load the book into iTunes.
However, I cannot select iTunes as a destination for the download - iTunes launches when I go to the download selection window, but iTunes is not shown as an option (I can download directly into my iPods).
How can I load the book into iTunes so that I can manage which iPod, etc. that I want to carry it at any given time?

Do it for free on a PC running iTunes.
Do it for free on an older Mac capable of running Audion.
Conversion software (mostly commercial):
Switch (free basic version) - http://www.nch.com.au/switch/index.html - I'm not sure if this will do WMA
All2MP3 - http://download.cnet.com/All2MP3/3000-2140_4-190407.html - mixed success with WMA
Flip4mac - need the intermediate payware version which lets you convert. Use with Quicktime player. Flip4Mac - http://dynamic.telestream.net/downloads/download-flip4macwmv.asp?prodid=flip4mac wmv - The free version will let Quicktime play but not convert Windows Media files.
After installation a new Flip4Mac pane will appear in System Preferences. Make sure you set the boxes to ensure that it will play WMV files in Quicktime.
VLC - not really a converter but will do some in the export menu but may be slow and a bit of a learning curve.
Explore online converters where you upload a file in one format and download in another.

Transferring Audiobooks with Overdrive Media Console

Overdrive Media Console does not connect with itunes when trying to transfer a book to iphone or ipad and therefore doesnt recognize devices. Was fine until updated to Overdrive 3.3 followed by update to itunes 11.1.4.62. Running Windows 7 64 bit on MacBook Pro boot camp (WIndows) portion of disk. I know this was a problem a few years ago. Tried deleting and reinstalling both programs a few times but didnt resolve issue. Anyone know how to resolve this?

From OverDrive Media consol, I need to sign into Adobe. It fails each time. Help

I have downloaded OverDrive Media Console ap, and need to log into Adobe, which fails each time. Help

In the past, you have had to re-authenticate your Acrobat.com account on update if you are using the Acrobat.com features. This is something we are working on and hope to improve in future updates. Thank you for the feedback.
