How can I synch my audiobook?

Question

I have a new fifth generation 80GB iPod. As the cable that comes with the new iPod is USB 2.0 and my home computer, an eMac, has only Firewire and USB 1.1, I used my work computer, an iBook, which is my personal property, to synch the iPod. All my music files are on an external hard drive. I hooked the external hard drive to the iBook, made a new account on the iBook (so that I could still use the small iTunes library that resides in my regular account on the iBook) and loaded the iTunes library from the external hard drive to the new account on the iBook. Then, while the hard drive was still connected to the iBook, I hooked the iPod to the iBook and loaded it up with my library. I was able to do this with my iCal and Address Book data and to drag photo files between the two computers via Firewire when I restarted the eMac as a Target Disk. It all worked, and I was thrilled! Now I have just purchased an audiobook. I bought it while logged on to the eMac, as usual, and assumed it would be loaded onto to hard drive. But when I later hooked up the hard drive to the iBook, it did not appear as part of the iTunes library on the second account on the iBook. Can someone please tell me why it's not working? It is a lengthy book and cost me nearly $40! I am legit, as I own both computers and simply want to get the audiobook onto the iPod so that I can listen to it while walking. What's the hitch?

Answer 1

Both the ipad and iphone are designed to be used with a computer.  Neither is a stand alone device.
Both are intended to be synced to your computer.
You should be syncing your ipad with a computer and the iphone.
