How do I add Audible audio books to my library

I am about to throw this Mac computer into the trash.  Can someone please tell me how to get this mac to add Audible audio books to the Itunes library, so that I can sync (another matter) to iphone and ipad? 

I've found that iTunes no longer allows Audible files to be added to the iTunes library.
I'm on a Mac (OSx 10.9), and am running the latest version of iTunes (11.1.5).
First of all, there's no longer a "Books" category in iTunes, but there is an "Audiobooks" category.  My preferences are set to show that category.
When I first tried to add my Audible books to iTunes, I had no audiobooks in my library.  What showed when I was in the Audiobooks view was a sort of welcome, you have no audiobooks, page with a button to download audiobooks from the App Store.
I tried importing my Audible books via drap and drop and File-> Add to Library.  I was able to select the files, but the Audiobooks welcome view didn't change.
I thought perhaps iTunes had a bug (or design) to only show the list of files when there was an App Store-purchased audiobook.  So I bought an audiobook from iTunes.  I was now able to see this audiobook, and proceeded to add my Audible file to the iTunes library as well.  The Audible books again did not show up in my audiobook library.
Similarly, I've tried opening the .aa Audible file directly from Finder.  It launches iTunes, but nothing happens.
There was another post about iTunes Match causing an issue, but I'm not subscribed to iTunes Match. https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3875987
So I'm out of ideas, and pretty fed up.  Does anyone have a new way to fix this?  Jimzgoldfinch method is not working.  Books are .aa files

  • How can I get my audio book back on my ipad?

    How can I get my audio book back on my ipad?
    After syncing with itunes on the pc, my newly purchased audio books vanished from the ipad, and I can't copy it back! I've tried copying the audio book back into the library, but that didn't help.
    Also couldn't get iTunes on my iCloud! there was no where to select on the icloud dashboard so that I can add iTunes ... Help!

    Audiobooks are not currently available for repeat download from iTunes in the Cloud. Your audiobook should have transferred to your iTunes library when you synced your device.
    You will need to contact support through the "Report a problem" links in your account history, or via Contact Support.

  • I have an apple iphone 4 that I want to download audio books from my library onto it.  I cannot figure out how to do that.  The iphone does not show up on my mac laptop as a connected device.  Does this kind of download have to run through itunes?  Thanks

    Yes it is done through iTunes. The iPhone will never show up in Finder as a device. The following is general information on iTunes sync: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1386 and the following is a previous discussion where the post by Andreas Junge helped others that had a problem syncing audiobooks: https://discussions.apple.com/message/20052732#20052732

    If it's an Audiobook, then it's probably in the Audiobook section of your iPhone. Have you set your iTunes to Sync Audiobooks with your iPhone?
    Alternatively, if the Audiobook was imported into your iTunes Library as as Music, then it's going to be in the Music section of your iPhone. If so, then it will be in the Music section of your iTunes Library. To move it to the Audiobooks section, select it in the Library and choose File/Get Info/Options>Media Kind where you can change it.
    You can change it to a Podcast, but since something is only a Podcast if it is delivered to your iTunes as a Podcast download (which is a process for delivering files without you having to go and find them), then your audiobook is not a Podcast and you may forget (in the future) how you obtained the book in the first place

    Hi, I got an audio book from my library and want to put it onto my iPod but I'm not sure how to.
    I downloaded the book onto my computer
    It's an odm file if that helps
    And the website said it was compadable with iPods
    But when I hook my iPod up to the computer and view its "files and folders" then drop the file in nothing happens. It's the same if I try to drop it any where else.

  • How can I add the audio content cd after logic finished installing ?

    There was an eror installing the Audio Content CD 1 and I did not notice. Everything else installed properly, Audio Content CD 2, Jam Pack, but how can I add the Audio Content CD1 after Logic has finished installing?
    If you can help me please be very specific as to how to do it so that I can follow the directions properly.
    Please help me.
    Thanks

    Hi
    You could re-run the installer, or, once you have updated to Logic 9.1.8 you could use the "Download Additional Content" function in the Logic Pro menu. It will tell you what is installed and what is incomplete.
