How do I get audiobooks into my iTunes "books"?

Hi - I have recently been downloading audiobooks online from my town's local library. To get them onto my iTunes and iPod, I pull down "File" - Add to Library. Then I find my book on my desktop and import it into my iTunes Library. How do I get my audiobook into my iTune "Books" in my Library - instead of being part of my music?

Recovery Mode
1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
3.While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.
Note: Data will be lost. You may have to repeat the above many times.

I bought the Hangover on my iPad. How do I get it into my itunes library?

While travelling I bought "The Hangover" film on my iPad. On getting home the "iTunes Extras" have downloaded into my iTunes library on my PC but there is no sign of the film itself. I have tried syncing the iPad with iTunes to no avail. I have tried "dragging and dropping the film from the ipda into the itunes library ... doesn't work. I cannot leave the film on my ipad forever and it does not appear to be held anywhere else. How do I get it into my itunes library? If not why not? If I delete it from my ipad do I then really have to buy it again?
This is all on the UK itunes store btw.

Connect the device, File > Transfer Purchases should do it. You have no automatic right to redownload the film (in the UK, yet) but if something goes wrong then it is always worth approaching the iTunes Store support team.. They have been known to reissue content in certain circumstances.

Sneedham,
iTunes is not capable of playing songs in FLAC format.
To use the music in iTunes get a 3rd party converter such as Switch and create versions in an iTunes compatible audio format such as MP3, AAC, Wav or AIFF.
Keep the original FLACs on hand for times when you are using a more capable music player.

How do I get audiobooks into the audiobooks folder?

There is an audiobooks folder on the first menu on my ipod but I can't figure out how to get audiobooks into it. When I make an "audiobooks" playlist it just puts it under the playlists menu but i want to see it under the audiobooks menu.

You need to make sure the sound files' genre is set to 'audiobook' so that it will automatically go into the audiobooks folder. You do this by right clicking on the file in itunes then click get info and change the genre.
Hope this is helpful.

How do I get audiobooks into my audiobooks library

There is an audiobooks folder on my itouch but no corresponding folder/library in my itunes directory on my pc. Thus when I am on shuffle I suddenly get a chapter of a book instead of music. How can I get the audiobooks tab in my itunes folder please?

Hello cardoacj,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
There are two different things you can do here. Each of these changes can be made from under each track's Options tab from the *Get Info* window in iTunes.
First you can tick the option to "Skip when shuffling" so that way you will never hear an audiobook chapter/track come up while on Shuffle.
Secondly you can change their *Media Type* to Audiobook as well using the drop down list under the same Options tab for each track.
Then sync the updated changes to your iPod.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.

How do I get audiobooks into my iPod?

Just purchased an audiobook through iTunes with the full expectation that it would appear in the Audiobook section of both iTunes and my iPod.
The purchase shows in iTunes fine, and has synched across to the iPod and shows in the Music section, but it does not show in Audiobooks as I would have expected.
Any ideas?

Firstly, remove the audiobook from the itunes library. If it asks you to send files to recycle bin or keep files, "keep files".
Check the actual audio file that has downloaded to your computers hard drive.
(On a windows OS, the file downloads to the C:/Documents & Settings/your user name/My Documents/My Music/iTunes/iTunes Music folder)
Show file extensions once in this folder by selecting Tools from the top drop down list, then folder options, go to the view tab and check "Show extensions for known file types")
The correct 3 letter extension for an audiobook should be .m4b
If the audiobook file shows .mp3 or other, change the extension by right-clicking the file name and choose rename. Delete the last 3 letters and replace with .m4b
Now, re-add the file to the itunes library by choosing File and then Add File to library within iTunes. After the file has been added, re-sync your ipod. The audiobook should now show under "Audiobooks" on the ipod itself.
If that does not take care of it, try deleting the audiobook from the ipod completely, and then re-syncing the ipod with the re-named file, as shown above.

Welcome, Nicole, to the Apple Discussions!
The music you want to share has to be in "a publicly accessible location".
What's that?

Not using my desktop anymore and want to transfer my music into my laptop. friend didn't know how so she copied and poasted all of my music into a file now on desktop on laptop. How do I get that into the ITunes library where it was?

I'm not using my desktop anymore and transferred everything to my laptop. All of Ipod/Iphone music was in ITunes on my desktop. Friend that was helping couldn't figure out how to import music to my laptop, so she copied/pasted all of it and put into folder on my laptop desktop. How do I replicate my desktop ITunes library ?

To have EVERYTHING as it is Now...
From your OLD computer...
Copy your ENTIRE iTunes FOLDER to an External Drive... and then from the External Drive to your New Computer..
Full Details Here > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1751
An Added Bonus is that you will have a Backup of iTunes.

I put an audiobook into my itunes and the audiobook setting won't save, it goes back to Music. How can I fix this?

I put an audiobook into my Itunes and I have selected the setting as Audiobook instead of Music but the change doesn't stick. How can I make this work? I've updated all my software and still I can't get the setting to stay on Audiobook.
Thanks!

From King_Penguin in response to an earlier query on this topic:
You should be able to copy it over by connecting your phone to your computer's iTunes and doing File > Devices > Transfer Purchases - it should copy over to the Books part of your library

When I try to sync my music on my iPhone 4 I have a tab at the top that says 'on this iPhone' The music in that tab is always on my phone but does not show in my itunes library. How can I get it into my library?

When I try to sync my music on my iPhone 4 I have a tab at the top that says 'on this iPhone'. This is at the end of all the other tabs like info, ringtones, music etc. The music in that tab is always on my phone but does not show in my itunes library. How can I get it into my library? It doesn't sync either.

The new iTunes has a somewhat different look from the previous version. You can get the old look back if you prefer it by doing View > Show Sidebar in iTunes. Or you can adapt to the new look.
