Getting a library audiobook to work on my iPod Touch (3rd gen).

I have downloaded several audiobooks in the past from the library. They have all been MP3. But I am trying to download Game of Thrones and it is WMA. We use a program called OverDrive. I downloaded it to my PC first and it works on there, but when I go to transfer it to my iPod it doesn't show up. If I go into the iPod Touch directory under devices, all I see for each chapter/section is a five digit number and the length of time, but it is greyed out. So it will look like "11042   1:12:56". I don't see this at all on the iPod itself, just iTunes.
It is important to note that my wife has a 1st generation iPod Touch and it downloaded just fine. It was in Music->Audiobooks for her. It is worked on her 1st gen, then it should work for my 3rd gen. Maybe it is a settings issue...dunno. I used my PC and then she tried putting it on from her PC and it didn't work either. Which leads me to believe that it is a problem with either a.) my iPod or b.) my personal iTunes settings.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Overdirive has a problem with iOS 5. See:

  • HT1454 Can not get video out from my ipod touch 3rd gen. Any ideas? It should nt be diffiicult to do this on the 21 st century, or not?

    After having spent EUR 130 on cables from apple, i still can not get video out from my ipod touch 3rd gen. Any ideas? It should nt be diffiicult to do this on the 21 st century, or not?

    Backing up an iOS device will copy some data to a backup file within iTunes, but this excludes all media.  You can also transfer iTunes Store purchases from the iDevice to iTunes but, without using a third-party tool, nothing else.  As long as you do not sync the iPod with your new library, the media that's on it will remain ... for as long as it keeps functioning, is not lost, stolen, eaten by the dog, ...
    You may also have an option to recover your previous library from your old laptop; as long as its hard drive isn't fried, a computer repair store or technician may be able to extract the drive, mount it in an external enclosure, and copy your data to another PC.  Whatever you choose, there is no real alternative to having all your media on your computer, managed by iTunes, and regularly backed up to another device/location.

  • IPod touch 3rd gen spinning wheel plus home button doesn't work. How to fix?

    I have an iPod touch 3rd gen that is stuck on the Apple logo and also has that spinning of wheel death thing. I am trying to enter into DFU mode but won't work due to the home button not working. Is there any other way I can fix this and make it boot back up regularly?

    Try here:
    fix for Home button
    Fix a broken, unresponsive or sticky iPhone Home Button
    See if  using thies program will get the iPod in recovery mode so you can restore the iPod

    If not let the battery fully drain. After charging for at least for an hour try again.
    If you can update to iOS 5 and the Home button sill does not work yu can turn on the Assistive Touch Accessibility feature. See chapter 30 of the Users Guide.

  • Updated my iPod touch 3rd gen to 5.0.1 from 4.3.2 and now the screen my iPod won't work anymore.

    Updated my iPod touch 3rd gen to 5.0.1 from 4.3.2 and now the screen my iPod won't work anymore. I restored it, I backed it up and I held the power and Home buttons for the reboot and still nothing. I've been looking to see if any one had the same problem and one guy did but they tOld him it was his hardware, but I don't think it was because my friend was able to get it working but it would stop working again like in 10min. So, has anyone had the same problem and can help? Please, I will greatly apretiate it. :)

    What do you mnean that the screen does not work?
    When you touch the screen the iPod does not respond?
    Nothing shows on the screen?
    Or what?

    I have bought my G1 touch two weeks before the G2 and now I'm left out. I have a nano from 2006 and I simply put the dongle in it and it's working fine. The nano doesn't have a bluetooth internal receiver, that's why you plug the dongle.
    It that is the only thing you need the receiver for, why doesn't the Nike+ Sport kit work with the iPhone?
    So I should plug simply the dongle in the touch G1 and with the latest firmware be able to do the thing.
    That may be your opinion but it's not the way it works.
    This is incredible. You know, this is what Microsoft was doing and now Apple is doing it !
    Microsoft had products that worked with the Sport kit? Didn't know that.

    - See:      
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    - Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
    - Try another charging source
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • I have had an iPod Touch 3rd Gen for two years and the apps have worked fine in the past. Suddenly the apps will not launch, they appear to start then just exit. Is there a reason why it is doing this?

     I have had an iPod Touch 3rd Gen for two years pretty much and the apps have worked fine. Suddenly when I go on an app it appears to launch then just exits. I tried turning the iPod off and on again, but that made all my apps behave like that. Settings and those things work fine still. Should this suddenly happen? I dont want to lose all 204 apps.

    - First try resetting the iPod. Nothing will be lost.
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Next try downloading/installing a new app
    - Restore from backup
    - Last, resore to factory defaults/new iPod.  this is last result since you will lose app data.

  • Itunes says that the version of software on my ipod touch 3rd gen is up to date, but IOS 5 is avaliable. I have checked for software updates for days but it keeps saying that 4.2.1 is the current version. Why cant i get IOS 5?

    because you do not have a 3rd generation device. The OS Version says so , otherwise you would be at 4.3.5 minimum and also Itunes is also always correct in determining if you have the latest OS ( if not it fetches the newest from Apple's Servers ) . And because a 2nd generation iPod stops at 4.2.1 you can't get the newest OS, because your device is old. Buy a new iPod , they have iOS5 preinstalled.

  • My iTunes says my iPod touch 3rd Gen is up to date with iOs 4.2.1, how do I get the new iOs 5?

    My iTunes says my iPod touch 3rd Gen is up to date with iOs 4.2.1, how do I get the new iOs 5?

    You must update your iTunes software to 10.5 first then you can upgrade to iOS 5.
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    According to Apple the iPod touch 3rd gen can update to iOS 5.
    "iCloud requires iOS 5 on iPhone 3GS or later, iPod touch (3rd and 4th generation), iPad, or iPad 2; a Mac computer with OS X Lion; or a PC with Windows Vista or Windows 7 (Outlook 2007 or 2010 or an up-to-date browser is required for accessing email, contacts, and calendars). Some features require a Wi-Fi connection. Some features are not available in all countries. Access to some services is limited to 10 devices."

    If a restore did not fix it, you have a hardware issue--possible bad wi-fi radio.

    I made a mistake of trying to put 5.0.1 beta 1 firmware on my ipod touch 3rd gen ( non-registered) unsuccessfully. Now the ipod doesn't work at all with any public firmware. Any suggestions?

    You can try putting the iPod into Recovery Mode and restoring it:

    If that doesn't work, you'll need to take this up in the forums to which you have access as a member of Apple's iOS developer program.
