How do I transfer an audio book purchased on my iphone to my MacBook?

I have the same Apple ID for both devices. When I go to iTunes on the labtop I can locate the same audio book but it appears as though I am purchasing it again. My understanding is that I can share my iTunes content across 3 devices. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks, Napa Mac User

You should be able to go to purchases in iTunes and download it from there. There is also a setting for automatically downloading purchases made on other devices: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4539

Can you find the audio book by using the Search feature on the iPod?
Do you have the right boxes checked to sync the audio book to the iPod?
iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod
Note you have to check the boxes in Books pane for the iPod in iTunes to sync books in general and another box to sync Audio Books.

How do I transfer pics I've taken on my iPhone to my MacBook?/Backing Up

Hello,
How do I download pics I've taken on my iPhone to my Macbook Pro? I want to download those pics to Facebook, for example. I seem to be able to email the pics from the phone but that's all.
Also, when I connect the iPhone to the laptop via USB, it no longer shows the device in left menu and doesn't seem to automatically download new pics. Something must have gotten turned off that I'm unaware of.
Would also like some info on backing up iPhone and MacBook. Someone told me to upgrade to latest operating system to make use of the Cloud properly for the laptop. I'm new to Apple and need more education, though I love both of my devices immensely.
The iPhone backs up to the Cloud it seems but I seem to have to do that manually. I would like both my iPhone and laptop to back up automatically if possible because I don't want to lose any information. What do you suggest? To be safe would you suggest the Cloud and an external back up device as well?
Thanks,
Susan

Photos/videos in the iPhone's Camera Roll can be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera. When there are photos/videos in the Camera Roll, the iPhone is also detected as a digital camera when connected to your computer. With a Mac, you can use iPhoto or the Image Capture application.
Also, when I connect the iPhone to the laptop via USB, it no longer shows the device in left menu and doesn't seem to automatically download new pics. Something must have gotten turned off that I'm unaware of.
In iTunes?
iTunes has never handled the import of photos/videos from any digital camera including from the iPhone's Camera Roll. Check this link if your iPhone is no longer recognized by iTunes when connected to your Mac.

How can I transfer mp3 audio books to SE c510 via (Media Go)?

First of all, I converted the audio book .mp3 file to .m4b, then went to Media Go and transferred the converted file with that program. Then, I unplugged the phone from my PC and went to Media---Music---Audio Books in my c510, but there was no audio book added. Also tried to turn the audio book on via "File Manager", and I noticed that the Media Go program had converted the file to .aac , so I when I had tried to play the file, got a message "Playback failed".
Can anyone tell me where I do wrong , how to transfer that kind of files to my mobile properly?! Thanks in advance!

I was researching the software and I see that you only have two audio file type options: mp3 and AAC.
If you want to transfer m4b, then you will need to just to it using My Computer, selecting the Phone Card (which has its own drive letter) and then put them in the Audio books folder.
You can change the default file type that MediaGo transfers from AAC to mp3 (if the original file type is fine with you) by selecting Tools > Preferences > Devices > highlight the device and select Properties and then in Media Format you have the option to change the type of file that will be transferred.

How do I get my audio books purchased on iTunes onto my iPhone?

I have downloaded an audio book on iTunes, and I have searched my phone and I can't figure out how to listen to this book on my phone. When I look I can see the book is in my iTunes account on my computer. Is there a specific app I need for my phone? I have iBooks and the book is not there. I downloaded an app called Audible which is supposed to recognize my iTunes and it does not.
Help please. I'm not tech savvy and this is so frustrating.

Have you synced it from your computer's iTunes to your iPhone ? Audiobooks are a one-time only download from the store, so they need to synced or copied to any other devices or computer's that you want it on.
If not then it should be in the Books (Audiobooks if using OS X Mavericks on a Mac) part of your computer's iTunes library, and you should be able to sync it by connecting your phone and using the Books tab (in a similar way to how you use Music tab to sync music).
It should go into the Music app on your phone - when you have audiobooks on your phone you should get an Audiobooks option/tab in the Music app.
The iBooks app is just for ebooks, and the Audilbe app is for audiobooks that you buy direct from audible.com

How do I transfer an audio book to my nano

i downloaded a book from itunes and cannot transfer it to my nano or shuffle. Can I do this?

For your Nano, you'll have to configure it to sync Audiobooks to your iPod from under the iPod's Books tab in iTunes.
For your Shuffle, you'll need to place them in a playlist and sync that playlist to your Shuffle.

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

Authorize your new computer's iTunes first - Store>Authorize this computer.
1) Without connecting your iPad to your laptop, start iTunes. Click on Edit. Click on Preferences. Click on Devices. Check the box next to "Prevent your iPod etc. from automatically syncing." Click OK.
2) Now connect your iPad to your laptop and start iTunes.
3) When iTunes starts, right click on your iPad under Devices in the left column. Select Transfer purchases etc.
4) After it finishes transferring all your apps to your new laptop, right click on your iPad and select Backup your iPad.
5) After it finishes backing up your iPad, right click on your iPad and select Restore etc.
6) After it finishes restoring, left click on your iPad , then click on the Apps tab on top, and check the box next to Sync Apps, then click on Apply below.
If everything on your iPad looks good after the sync, go back and click on Edit / Preferences / Devices and UN-check the box next to Prevent your iPod etc. The only other thing you may want to check is if your contacts, bookmarks, etc. are syncing correctly now. If not, go to the Info tab after connecting and make sure you indicate which features you want to sync with what sources.
