How do I download audio books by chapter

When I download audio books into my iTunes, they arrive in one big long stream. I then fall asleep listerning to it, and find I am far too far ahead, and there's this tiny little slider to push back and forth trying to find out the last bit I can remember listening to!
I downloaded a timer, so I could make sure I only listened to 30 mins at a time, but it's still difficult to move the tiny slider back to the right place - I have to memorise the exact time in the book where I started off, etc etc.
Thinking there may be some way of downloading books by chapter? Or maybe another application?

Charlene,
This information is covered in your iPod's User Guide.

HT201272 How do I download audio books that are not on my purchased list? That I have purchased.

I have purchased a few audio books on iTunes and in the process of upgrading the audio is no longer on my iCloud account. How do I get these books back? The books are in my purchase history. But iTunes would make me pay for them again if I get it from there.

Audiobooks are currently a one-time only download, so they won't appear in the cloud for re-downloading. Have you not got a copy of them on your computer and/or on a backup ? If not then you can try contacting Apple, but they are under no obligation to let you re-download them : http://www.apple.com/uk/support/itunes/contact/

How to play next audio book file/chapter?

Trying to setup an ipad2 for my mother and load some of her audio books on it. The audio books are mostly in mp3 format with some being in m4a. Books are marked as audio book format.
Problem is that when placed on the ipad and accessed by going through music -> more -> audio books, the books appear, selecting one shows all files/parts of the book, but when playing, it does not advance to next file. Particular problem in which some books are split into 3 minute chunks per file.
Taking the same files and placing them on my ipod 5.5, they play fine and auto-advance fine.
Any ideas?
Ipad 2 w/ iOS 5

iOs 5 Bug identified...
After selecting an audio book, if you select a file/chapter directly, it will play only that file/chapter and NOT continue to the next one. Also, no icon (speaker) is shown for the files/chapter being played.
If instead you press the play button at top left (not main focus on screen), then the book starts playing from beginning, an icon is present next to file/chapter, and the files/chapter are played sequentially automatically.

HT201272 Hello, do yo know how to re download audio books

I accidently deleted an audio book and I can't see an option on iCloud to re download audiobooks, only music , film, tv shows. Do you know if it is possible or do I need to re purchase ? Thankyou

Audiobooks are currently a one-time only download, if you don't have a copy of it anywhere then you can try contacting iTunes support and see if they will grant you a re-download : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

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

HT4528 How do I recover my calendar events? How about downloading audio books?

Since the latest iOS 7 upgrade, I HATE my iPhone! I was able to recover my contacts. I was not able to recover my calendar events.
How do I recover my calendar events?
I have an appointment tomorrow & can't remember necessary info!
How about downloading audio books?
I am not able to download an audio book, which I have done for a very long time w/o issues. Have any suggestions?

When I synced, & recovered the contacts, the calendar recovered events (as current) that I had deleted last winter.
I check out audiobooks from the local library & download them using OneClickDigital Media Manager. It goes thorugh iTunes to get the book onto my phone. It shows up pale in iTunes (All other items are in bold print.) & the book does not show up on my phone at all.

I've downloaded audio books successfully to my iPod, but they don't show up on my iTunes.. and I want to delete some.

I've successfully downloaded audio books to my iPod for years but now they don't show up on iTunes, not under Music, not under books or Audiobooks - nowhere!
And I want to delete some...

Hello, mimi2216.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
This could be a result of Automatic Downloads not being enabled, the apps were too large to download via the cellular data network or a cellular data connection was not available at the time of download. The best option would be to download the missing apps via the steps in the second article below.

I downloaded audio books from overdrive media and my ipod nano 6th generation showed it was transferring why can't I find the audio books on my ipod?

I downloaded audio books from overdrive media and my ipod nano 6th generation showed it was transferring and now I can't find it on my Ipod where would it be?

The problem may have been in how you transfered it. You didn't go into much detail. Just be sure to follow the steps in the tutorial below. Note Paragraph 5.
Many libraries worldwide now use Overdrive Media Console, which comes in Mac an Windows versions http://www.overdrive.com/Software/omc . Some find the mobile device transfer process confusing. To load or delete a WMA or MP3 (Macs can only download MP3 books) audiobook onto an Apple mobile device see the "How to Transfer to a Portable Device" video in the guides at Step 7, then do the following.
1. For Windows versions, you must first do a security update of Windows Media Player (even though you won't be using it) using Internet Explorer at http://drmlicense.one.microsoft.com/indivsite .
2. Open iTunes, plug the mobile device into the computer USB port and open the Overdrive Media Console.
3. Highlight the mobile device in the left hand menu of iTunes and insure the "Manually manage music and videos" box is checked in the Summary Tab. If the mobile device storage is full, transfering will delete that portion of music necessary for the ebook.
4. Highlight the book you want to transfer in the Overdrive Media Console and click the Transfer Button. A window opens permitting you to click the boxes for parts of the book you wish to transfer.
5. After the book has been transfered, when you click the disclosure triangle (arrow) to the left of the iPod, iPhone, or iPad in the Device section of the left hand menu of iTunes, MP3 books will show up under the Music subsection and WMA books will show up in the Books subsection. Once the mobile device is disconnected from iTunes, MP3 books will show up in the Songs list of the mobile device and WMA books will show up in the Books list.
6. To remove a book from a mobile device plug the device into the USB port and open iTunes. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of your iPod, iPhone, or iPad in the Device section of the left hand menu of iTunes so that you can see the device’s subcontents. For an MP3 book select the Music subsection, right click on the book and choose Delete. For a WMA book, select the Book subsection, right click on the book and choose Delete.
7. The Overdrive Media Console Guided Tour (videos) is at http://www.overdrive.com/Solutions/Libraries/tour/MenuWelcome.html . The "Portable Devices" and "How to Transfer to a Portable Device" videos are there.
8. To find a nearby library for ebooks search http://search.overdrive.com . You can download the software, search for books and see tutorials without an account at the website of any library that uses Overdrive, however, you need a library card to download books. At this library site, for example, the software and guided tour are at the bottom of the left hand menu.

How do I download audio cd's to my macbook pro?

how do I download audio cd's to my macbook pro?

Assuming you still have the CD's and they are still readable:
Delete everything "jumbled" from your iTunes Library.
Insert the CD, and do not read them into iTunes, but copy them instead into a folder with the name you want in your iTunes Library afterwards, insert the next CD and copy it into a second folder (different name), etc.
Then put the first folder into Yourname/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music/Automatically Add To iTunes folder.
Start iTunes and see it appear in the iTunes Library. Close iTunes, do the same with the next folder, etcetera
That was excessively complicated, and NOT how you import CD's into iTunes. I have imported nearly 1000 CD's into iTunes and never once, not once, have I fulled around with folders. That is done in preferences. That's not how iTunes works. William needs to post his question to the iTunes for Mac forum, where much easier solutions will be provided.

How do I add audio books to my shuffle

How do I add audio books to my shuffle

If this is a 4th (or 3rd) gen shuffle, and you use automatic syncing for loading songs... Select the shuffle in iTunes. There is a row of "tabs" (buttons) starting with Summary. Click on Books there. This is the Books tab, where you tell iTunes how to sync audiobooks to the shuffle. Set it up as desired, and click Apply.
NOTE: If your shuffle is currently NOT set up for automatic syncing, its content will be replaced by content selected in the sync settings.
If you are NOT using automatic syncing for songs, so you have been loading songs manually by dragging them to the shuffle in iTunes, then you should NOT do the above. Instead, you can load audiobooks the same way. Drag the books you want to the shuffle from your Books library in iTunes.
If this is a 1st or 2nd gen shuffle, it is different. Please post back.

HT3951 When I download audio books from the library why can't Isee the files in itunes. All of the chapters do not transfer.

When I download audio books from the library I can't find them in my itunes files. All of the chapters do not transfer to my itouch even though they all were downloaded.

I finally figured it out! On the book page of itunes I went to preferences and then import settings and changed the settings from aac to mp3 and when I went back to the page there was my itouch and clicked on it and then books and there were all my books and files! deleted 3 chapters that were greyed out and transfered them again and it worked. Thank you for your help.

Downloaded audio book on my iphone does not appear in itunes library and i cannot update iOS without transfering it to library

Downloaded audio book to my iphone does not appear in my itunes library and i cannot update iOS without transfering it to library

You should be able to copy it over to your computer's iTunes via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases.
Audiobooks are a one-time only download from the store, so you may want to take a backup copy of it when you've copied it over to your computer

How do you import audio books so they are like the ones you buy from itunes

how do you import audio books so they are like the ones you buy from itunes?

There are a number of tools for merging the files into one. Personally I don't bother, but you'll find links on my page which describes how to manage Audiobooks on iPods.

I have an ipod nano but i dontknow how can syc the audio books on it?!

how can i use audio books in my ipod nano?!
i have a windows7 pc

Configure the audiobooks to sync to your iPod from under the iPod's Books configuration tab in iTunes.
To access this configuration tab, plug in your iPod and select it from under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes to bring yourself to the iPod's Summary tab. Now locate the Books tab and select it. Here you can configure what and how audiobooks are synced to the device.
If you make any changes to this tab, make sure to hit the Apply button on in the lower right hand corner.
