How do I restore audiobooks from iTunes library?

I was trying to delete some old audiobooks from my iPad, and all of my audiobooks were deleted. In reading questions here, I found what I thought would help me, but I cannot find the iTunes library, where do I look for this? I've probably lost all my audiobooks, but I want to understand this process so this doesn't happen again.

Okay, but just to be clear .. do you actually have a question someone else can answer?
I guess you missed the fact that the post you chimed in with your "Me too, but even worse" contribution was actually from 8 months ago? And there hasn't been a lot of chatter on this issue since?
Most of what you talk about has everything to do with iTunes and nothing to do with iPad, which leads to the obvious question: Why are you posting here? Why not the iTunes forums, and why not talking to iTunes support?
Oh right. It's because you're now so done with Apple! so, really, why bother, right?
So long, then, and thanks for contributing.

Instead of removing the music from the cloud or the iTunes library why not shuffle your music using a Smart Playlist which excludes the holiday music, or tracks that are not checked. For example, use this very simple Smart Playlist:

How can I restore my previous iTunes library?

I placed the iTunes library file in an external hard drive and had the folders containing the usic in different locations (pc hard drive and two external HD). But then some months ago the compueter from which I were running iTunes crash down ans subsequently I had to replace its hard disc though I managed to keep all the folders wwith my music. Now my question is: how can I do to restore my previous library? Since I have a really big amont of albums, I had them distributed in different devices (5 iPods + 1 iPhone) so I think it is nit possible to get the whole library back form one single of the devices. Thank you for your help.

Pedro, I haven’t had a need to do this myself, but here is a link that describes different methods to consolidate multiple itunes libraries: http://ipod.about.com/od/restoreandreformatipod/tp/Consolidate-Itunes-Library-Fr om-Many-Pcs-To-One.htm
Also, here is something on recreating a itunes library from the xml file. http://fixmyapple.com/troubleshooting-guides/how-to-re-create-your-itunes-librar y/. You should have the xml if you backed up the itunes folder before the crash.

How can I transfer apps from iTunes library from one computer to another?

I have been unsuccessful in transferring my music over to my new MacBook from my PC Windows Vista. I even subscribed to MobileMe, but it wouldn't work! So, I have decided to take the time to copy all my music to CDs & do it that way, but how am I going to transfer my apps? If I sync my iPhone with my iTunes library on my MacBook once I have transferred the songs, won't the apps be erased on my phone? Is there a way using MobileMe I could do so? Please please please help.

Do you have access to an external hard drive that you were using for your computer's backup with your PC which has enough storage capacity for your entire iTunes library?
If so, using the external hard drive would be a good way to do this. You would transfer your iTunes named folder in your My Music folder on your PC followed by transferring the iTunes named folder from the external hard drive to the Music folder on your Mac - with iTunes quit when doing so. This will transfer all music, videos, 3rd party apps, playlists, etc. from your PC to your Mac.
If most of your iTunes library includes music purchased from the iTunes store, iTunes includes an option to transfer iTunes content that was purchased from the iTunes store from an iPod or iPhone, but this is for iTunes content that was purchased from the iTunes store only.
First you need to authorize your new MacBook with your iTunes account with iTunes if you haven't already done so.
With your iPhone connected to iTunes and without syncing, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPhone.
If all 3rd party apps do not transfer from your iPhone to your iTunes library on your Mac, you can re-download purchased apps with iTunes on your MacBook and you won't be charged again as long as you use the same iTunes account that was used to purchase the 3rd party apps.

How do I restore my previous ITUNES library?

I recently got a new hardrive from Apple. Almost done restoring my files of my old harddrive from my cloud based back/recovery tool CARBONITE. I am a DJ and I need to recover all my music and playlists as they were before I took my hardrive out (100% backed up). Whats the best way to do this? Carbonite claimed that I wouldn't have to touch my ITUNES, it would re-appear as it was previously with all the playlists, but after the struggle I have had with this recovery to date, I am guessing this might not take place.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thank you.

How to delete TV Shows from iTunes Library

How do I delete TV Shows from the iTunes Library? I have tried right clicking and selecting delete...I have tried dragging them to the recycling bin....NOTHING seems to work.
Everytime I connect my iPhone to my computer iTunes tries to upload the TV shows to my phone...
I just want them deleted & gone for good!
Help! Please!

I found it!
In the upper left corner click on the TV Shows icon.
On the right about half way down click on "Purchased".
This is the important part, click on "My TV Shows". A list of all of your shows will appear.
Click on the show you want to delete. You can select all seasons or a single season or just a single show.
Click on "Edit" in the menu bar near the top of the page. If you don't see the menu bar press ctrl+B to show/hide the menu bar.
Click on "Delete" and you will be prompted to confirm the delete. Click "Delete".
You will then be asked if you want to keep the files. Click on "Delete Files".

Anyone know how to delete an App from itunes library?

Hi All,
I have a number of Apps that I have tried to remove from my itunes account. These are just games that I no longer play or have never played.
First I tried selecting the App in itunes, then Edit/Delete then it will ask you if you want to remove file. Then I emptied the trash.
This did not work. Now every time an update is available for the previously deleted App it will download that update then try and re-download the full game.
Secondly I have tried going to "finder" and finding the file on the Mac HD. and then deleting the file/game this way.
This also did not work and again the game is try to re-download.
As you can imagine this is becoming quite annoying and is starting to clog up my downloads when I check for other updates.
Can anyone help???
Regards,
Pete

Thanks but this didn't resolve a thing.

I have no problem deleting the app from my mobile device.
The problem comes when I delete it from itunes and form my iMac. I know that the Apps are stored in the "mobile application" folder on my Mac HD. But even when deleting the file from that location the App still re-downloads every time I check for updates in itunes app store.
No matter how many times I delete the file and no matter where I delete it from, It always downloads again.
I no longer want these apps why can't I delete them completely?

How do I remove music from itunes library but keep them in a separate folder on my mac?

I also wouldn't mind understanding which specific folders the itunes library imports my music from. Does it search my whole computer and automatically add any music files or does it search only a specific folder? Is there a way to tell it which folder to use? Basically I'd like to keep two folders, one that itunes imports and one that is just on my computer and doesn't go to itunes. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

You can't. The reason is because the actual photos are all in the camera roll. The albums only contain links to these photos, not duplicate photos. (Albums work like music playlists. Music playlists also don't contain duplicate songs either; they only contain links to the songs in your music library.)

Cannot drag audiobook from itunes library to iphone

Hello,
I cannot drag my purchased audiobook from my itunes to my iphone 5. I see the audiobook and I see my phone but for some reason I am unable to drag the book to the phone.
I am using Windows 7.
Thank You,

What are your sync settings in iTunes for the audio content? Do you have the option to manually manage content selected from the Summary page of your device in iTunes?

after using the migration assistant, it appears that only my iTunes purchases loaded into my library on the new MCB, not allllll the other mp3's i've loaded in from other sources, although they are sitting in the back.up folders on my external drive. those mp3's have to be opened manually to get them back into iTunes. there has to be a more effiecient way to load these tunes right?????
