Getting audio books off iphone and on to iTunes!

Hi I have recently bought a few audiobooks off iTunes on my iPhone. I want to get them on to iTunes so I can use them on my iPod. When I plug my iPhone into my mac it sees it fine and I can see the audiobooks on the phone but I am unable to get them off the phone onto the mac!
Please help, what am I doing wrong!

Nice one, it's easy when you know how! Thanks a lot!

    After much trial and error, I have finally unlocked the mystery of how to remove Audiobook files from the iphone without changing the file name or type.  Here are the steps:
    1.  Plug in your iPhone to your computer
    2.  Launch iTunes
    3.  Click on the left-hand menu option that says "books"
    4.  All the audiobooks (such as iTunes or Audible) will be here with cover art for each one.  If you right click on these titles, you will have the option to "Uncheck Selection" or "Check Selection" depending on whether or not it is on your iPhone.
    5.  If you want to remove an audiobook from your iPhone, simply right click and select "Uncheck Selection"
    6.  Sync your iPhone
    7.  If you are still having problems, you have probably changed your sync options for music.  Change them so that you are only syncing selected items(there are 2 different places to control these options, the "Summary" tab(which should have the "Option" "select songs and videos..." checkbox checked) and the "Music" tab(which should have the "selected playlists, artists,..." checkbox checked).
    8.  Magically those pesky audio books that you know and love are no longer on your iphone
    9.  Write Apple a nasty email and ask why $10 million in audiobook revenue hasn't warranted a software change to make this easier to understand and do.

    I don't know how many contacts you have, but if it is a reasonable # maybe you can enter all of them into icloud and have them sync to your device going forward.

  • How to get ALL photos off iPhone and into iMac?

    I hope I can describe this clearly.
    I have close to 1000 photos on my iPhone 5s, all in different albums.  I want to get ALL of them off the iPhone and backed up into my iMac so I don't lose them when I upgrade (which has happened before.) The albums I seem to have the biggest problem with are the ones that came over when I went from a PC to a Mac about 2 years ago and were in albums in my Kodak Easy Share.  I can't get iPhoto to recognize these photos/albums so I can move them from the iPhone. Honestly, I'm not even sure how I got them from where they originated into my iPhone. I'd thought I'd lost them so when they popped up on my iPhone I refused to even update my phone for a while, I was so afraid to lose them.
    I tried using Image Capture and it only recognized 176 photos on the iPhone.
    I went into settings on my iPhone, into camera and photos, and saw that iCloud Photo Library (Beta) was "OFF." I clicked "ON" and got the message "Photos synced from iTunes will be removed. Syncing photos via iTunes is not supported when include Photo Library is turned on.  833 photos will be removed."
    I hit cancel.
    If I connect my iPhone to my Mac, and check off "Sync Photos" it appears that it's going to put photo's in iPhoto on my computer on my phone, so that isn't what I want either.  I've tried Googling this, and searching on the Apple site and I can't find anything like this. Similar but not quite the same.
    I also read (I think) that the iCloud would delete my photos in 30 days so I'm not sure what the value of backing them up to the iCloud is.
    I've used Finder to search Kodak, Easy Share, Kodak Easy Share, in case these photos are somewhere else on the iMac that I'm not aware of, most likely due to user ignorance.
    My screen is cracked, I'm going to need to upgrade soon, and I don't want to lose valuable photos again. 
    Thank you!

    Thank you to all for this info. Discouraging, but finally I can stop banging my head on the desk trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong.
    I do believe that when I synced my iPhone at some point in the last 2 years, I pulled all the photos OUT of iPhoto and then it deleted them.  Which is most likely why the older Kodak photos that I am almost 100% certain were in iPhoto are now gone. How/when they ended up on my iPhone I don't know because I swear they suddenly appeared there a few weeks ago.
    Since the old PC is gone (accessible but wiped clean & restored to original factory settings) and Easy Share is no more, I will have to explore outside options to get those photos off the iPhone somewhere.  Online photo storage sites have been suggested.  Archaic as it is, I wish I'd just put them all on cd's.
    Using the info provided, I did SUCCESSFULLY get all 237 photos off of my iPhone 3.  (yes, I still have it.)  Now I know better and will never ever sync my photo's in iTunes again.
    Thank you all again!!
    ***Addendum: ALL answers helped, but apparently I can't indicate that.

  • HT201269 how do i get my pics off iPhone and transfer to my mac?

    How do I get my pictures off my I phone to transfer to my mac? Please explain as simple as possible.

    Assuming you are running Mavericks and the current version of iPhoto on your Mac:
    Open iPhoto on your Mac.  Click iPhoto > Preferences from iPhoto's menu.  On the "General" tab, choose "Connecting camera opens ... iPhoto".
    Then plug your iPhone into your Mac.  iPhoto should open and you should see your iPhone there.  You may have to click "Import ...".
    This assumes that you are talking about photos you took on your iPhone (and are therefore in iPhone's Camera Roll).

  • Trying to get my videos off iphone and onto a dvd

    So I have a few questions..if anyone can help its so much appreciated!
    I am trying to get my iphoto videos onto a dvd with my macbook pro. Just bought IDVD. I made a dvd with a few clips just to make sure it worked and it worked good except....
    1. Do I really have to go to my external harddrive each time to import a video--I have 5 years worth so this takes to long. I tried to drag and drop from "Finder" but  it would not work for me. Any other ideas?
    2. When I put the dvd into my dvd player it worked although I had to go to the main menu for each video(some clips are very short) Is there a way before I complete the burn dvd process to set it where the videos run continously?
    3. The audio is a little low on the videos--anyway to make it louder(other than turning the tv up!?)
    thank you:)

  • Computer crashed had to reinstall windows how do i get my music off iphone back on to itunes

    after reinstalling windows obviously itunes is empty and my songs are on iphone. any surgestions?

    The 5 authorized COMPUTERS has NOTHING to do with ipods.
    Itunes will allow up to 5 computers to be authorized to play pre-itunes+ music. When you reach the limit of 5 COMPUTERS, then you can de-authorize them all, then authorize the active ones again.
    You can sync as many ipods as you like to a computer.
    In the future, it is a good idea to de-authorize before re-installing your os or getting rid of a computer.

    You can purchase Audio books in the iTunes Store App and they will be downloaded for playing in the Music App.
    What two Apps are you talking about?

  • I have an old ipod and want to know how to get everything off it and into my iTunes library.  My old computer died and the original library was lost, so don't have any of the content saved anywhere else.

    I have an old ipod (it's the very thin oblong one in purple, the one before the one that does video) and want to know how to get everything off it and into my iTunes library.  My old computer died and the original library was lost, so don't have any of the content saved anywhere else.  I now have an iPhone 5S and listen to music on that, so want to be able to listen to things from the old ipod too.
    Can anyone help please?
    Thanks very much

    Apple normally does not get involved in handling lost objects like this.  Since a real name is not installed it will be much more difficult.
    You can try contacting Apple support at the US number, assume you are US going to BWI from the listing: http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57 and explain the situation and see if they offer any suggestions.

  • Puchased some audio books. They are on my itunes, but cannot get them on my Shuffle?

    Purchased some audio books. They are on my itunes, butt cannot get them on my ipod shuffle.

    You can delete apps from itunes by going to the Apps section of the Library NOT the sync page. Select App and delete. It will then be gone from the App Sync page as well.

  • If I import audio books into the music section of itunes it lists the books as albums and all the chapters as tracks fine when I sync them to my ipod classic, but not if I import them as audiobooks, any ideas please?

    If I import audio books into the music section of itunes it lists the books as albums and all the chapters as tracks fine when I sync them to my ipod classic, but not if I import them as audiobooks and then sync them, any ideas please?

    If you import the audiobook as an audiobook to your iTunes Library, it will be listed in the Books section of your Library. You may need to turn on Books in order to see them. If you cannot see the File/Edit... etc. menu, use CTRL B on your keyboard to make that menu bar appear. Then go to Edit/Preferences>Books and put a tick in the box.
    But, if the imported audiobook shows up in the Music section of your iTunes Library, highglight the files (in iTunes) and select File/Get Info/Options/Media Kind>Audiobook. These files will now transfer to the Books section of iTunes.
    Once on an iPod Classic, look under the Audiobooks menu. Again, you may need to change the settings in the Settings menus, in order to have the Audiobooks option shown on the Main Menu and/or the Music Menu.

    You get one and only one download of audiobooks.  As always it is your responsibility to back up your content.

  • Hi, I am having trouble getting an album to download. I have tried it on both my iPhone and laptop through iTunes but neither works. I am wondering if it could be the size of the album stopping it downloading (212 Tracks) Any Ideas?

    Hi, I am having trouble getting an album to download. I have tried it on both my iPhone and laptop through iTunes but neither works. I am wondering if it could be the size of the album stopping it downloading (212 Tracks) Any Ideas?

    These alerts occur due to timeouts or conflicts trying to write a file during download.
    If you encounter this issue while while downloading something from the iTunes Store:
    Delete your iTunes Downloads folder, located in:
    Mac OS X:
  ~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Downloads   Note: "iTunes Media" may appear as "iTunes Music. Also, the tilde (~)  refers to your Home directory.
    After locating your iTunes Downloads folder:
    Quit iTunes.
    Delete the Downloads folder on your computer.
    Open iTunes.
    Choose Store > Check for Available Downloads.
    Enter your account name and password.
