How to listen to audio books on ipod touch, how to listen to audio books on ipod touch

I have an ipod touch 32gb.  I just downloaded a sample of an audio book to listen to.
However, I can't for the life of me get the audio to work.
It just shows the book in print form.
It is an audio book, I verified that.
Help would be appreciated!

Actually, this is my first time exploring books of any type via itunes.
I've been only a music girl...
The book in question: The Ultimate Happiness Prescription by Deepak Chopra. It is listed under Audio Books.
I clicked the sample and it sent to my ipod touch.
I see the book under the book APP, but it's in print form only.
Obviously, I am a dumb bell when it comes to books!  Maybe I'll stick with music!

    Hello ListenIt,
    While the following was written for the iPhone, the process should be the same on your iPod Touch.
    Remove a song from iPhone. Tap Songs, swipe the song, then tap Delete. The song is deleted from iPhone, but not from your iTunes library on your Mac or PC, or from iCloud.

  • After the latest upgrade, I can't transfer my library audiobook cd's from my computer to my iPod so I can listen to the book. The book shows up on my computer, but not on my iPod.

    After the last upgrade, I can't transfer my library audiobook cd's from my computer to my iPod so that I can listen to the book. It seems to be transferring but
    doesn't show up on my iPod. How do I find the transferred files on my iPod Classic 60GB? Help! I've done this thousands of times before, and this is the 1st
    time I've had a problem, so I'm suspecting the upgrade.

    For non-purchased music like CD ripped songs, you need some third party software like sharepod, yamipod or iPod file manager to copy them from iPod back to computer. if you need details, here is a guide about how to copy iPod music. Hope it helps. Feel free to email me if you need further help.

  • IPod touch 2.0 firmware and Audio Books

    Hi, it was an interesting day trying to upgrade yesterday
    That aside now that I am using 2.0 my iPod touch won't play my Audio Book for George Orwells 1984. It is a 9+ hour Audio Book all in one file. The iPod looks like it's going to play the file, then flips the image, and then slides back to my selection screen.
    The file plays perfectly in my iTunes but once again fails when I remove and then resync the file on my iPod. I converted this Audio Book file from mp3 format and at first thought that might be the problem (although it played fine with the 1.1.4 firmware). As a test I formatted another mp3 Audio Book in the natural iPod Audio Book format. This smaller (2 hour) file played fine.
    As a secondary test I converted 1984 into smaller chapters and unsurprisingly they all played fine individually. My gripe is that I don't want to have to remember what chapter I'm on when I go back to listen to my Audio Book. I feel like this might have to do with the sheer length of time the Audio Book spans but I am disappointed that it worked so well in firmware 1.1.4 and is failing to work at all in 2.0.
    I'm just throwing this out there hoping someone can give me some insight about what to do. As it stands I'm considering dropping back to 1.1.4 because I'm also having considerable issues properly syncing my calendars, which is one of my favorite things about iPod touch.
    Thanks sincerely,
    Gregor

    Hi Gregor,
    Holidaze posted a similar problem and I responded in length to that one. I have the same problem. In a nutshell I did some testing and narrowed it down a little bit. I can play up to a 1.6 megabyte file(5 cds of mp3s that I converted over) but when I tried a 1.9 megabyte file (6 cds of converted mp3s) it doesn't work (same problem as you with the sliding back to the previous screen). So somewhere between 1.6 and 1.9 megabyte file it gets too big for the new firmware. Sounds like a bug to me. I don't know why they would purposefully remove functionality so surely it is a bug.

  • HT201272 1 track from iTunes is only playing until 3:50 (should be 14:48). Rest of album is OK. Happens on computer & iPod. How do I fix that track? "Purchased (new)" on right side of iTunes doesn't give me a Music option - just Apps and Books.

    Hello,
    I've purchased and downloaded an album from the iTunes store. It has 5 tracks. Tracks 1-4 are all fine. Track 5 is broken - it should have approx 15 minutes of music, but only plays to just under 4 minutes. This happens on my computer and on my iPod. How can I fix this please?
    I've tried going to the "Purchased (new)" option in the quick links on the right hand side of the iTunes store. I thought I'd see an option for "Music" on the page it takes me to, but I don't get that option: I only see Apps and Books.
    I'm using the computer that I purchased and downloaded the album from. It is authorised for this account.
    I'm not aware of interrupting the download yesterday - it all seemed OK to me at the time and I thought it had completed successfully.
    The album is Dvořák: Cello Concerto, Zuill Bailey, Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra & Jun Markl. It's the last track (In Nature's Realm) that's got the problem.
    Thanks for any help.

    Unfortunately you can't redownload music in all countries, as you have found.
    You can however contact iTunes support regarding this issue here:

    See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your Mac and into iTunes.

    Once you have successfully done that you can go ahead and choose Erase and Sync when you plug your iPod in.

  • Bought a book from store, i  see it in i tunes,i synced it to my ipod  but how do i read

    bought book from itunes store downloaded it to itunes sybced it to ipod but how do yoy read it when i go to my lybrary it still wants me to purchase it

    If you purchased it on your computer's iTunes then have did you select it to sync to your iPad (via the iPad's Books tab on your computer's iTunes) ?. On your iPad you can also turn Settings > Store > Books 'on' so that iBooks purchases made on your computer or other iOS device are automatically downloaded to it. You can also re-download the book for free directly on your iPad : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519

  • Can you read a  e-book on your ipod and how can you transfer  them ?

    I was wondering can you read a e-book on your iPod and how do you do tranfer the e-book to your iPod?

    See same topic (almost) next to this one. You need Acrobat Reader and the iPod is not equipped at this time to run that application.

  • I just purchased a audio book from iTunes, where do I listen to it?

    I just purchased a audio book from itunes, where do I listen to it?

    You're postive this is an actual Audiobook, correct? If so, do this: Double tap the Home button, slide the last viewed state of each app shown up...not the app icon, the last viewed state. Tap the Home button when finished, then reset your phone: Press the Sleep/Wake button & Home button at the same time, keep pressing until you see the Apple logo, then release...it show up properly now?

  • HT1351 Audio book download on computer, shows up in my g drive for ipod, but will not connect with my device ...goes through syncing, but audio book not is transferred to actual device

    Audio book appears in my downloads, has been transferred to ipod (it shows up in g drive when I plug in ipod), but when I complete the sync, and disconnect ipod, the book is not transferred to ipod

    Same problem here with the same iPod- Gen4, 20 G- this started on Friday. None of the "fixes" Apple offers help because iTunes and My Computer freeze when the iPod is connected. If I disconnect while My Computer is open, it shows up briefly as the E: drive with an exclamation point and then disappears. If I disconnect with iTunes open, everything that I tried to open while it was connected suddenly pops up. I can't restore the iPod because the Updater freezes while the iPod is connected. There is no difference when I try to do these things in disk mode. The disk manager function in windows sees the iPod, but freezes up when you try and click on it.
    I've run all the diagnostic tests and it passed them all. It does the same thing on other computers (all PCs) that I've tried.

  • When i delete an audio book from my computer it does not delete the book from my Iphone. it seems to be deleting the name from the computer but not the content. this has just started happening since the last itune progam updated. the result is i have

    I record audio books from my library onto my old iPhone. I download the book from Overdrive to my computer. I connect the Iphone to the computer and transfer the audio-book to the iPhone.  When I am done listening to the book i delete it from the iPhone by connecting it to the computer and doing a manual sync. this worked fine until the last i-tunes update on my computer. Now when the iPhone is connected and i tell the computer to delete a book it is only deleting the name of the book on the computer it is not deleting the book from the phone. The next time I connect the phone to the computer the program does not show the book in the phone but it is still in the phone.  I have no more room on my phone to get any new books on it.
    Does anyone know how to fix this? Please

    You are correct.  Syncing should transfer any purchased media, including videos, from your device to your iTunes library provided your computer is authorized for the Apple ID used to make these purchases.  You mentioned that you have uninstalled iTunes before, but if you didn't follow this guide exactly, uninstalling iTunes and all of its components in the order specified, it may not have been successful so you should try again:  Windows XP or Windows Vista/7.

  • Two IPod Family: How do we separate our accounts?

    I have had my IPod Nano for a year now. My son just bought himself one yesterday and we loaded the program unto the computer. Two Itune Icons appeared and each of the two downloaded my songs which are not his taste. So I deleted my songs from the second newly generated Itunes Icon which is suppose to be his and when I went back to my old Itunes Icon I found all my songs had been deleted from my Itunes.
    What's the deal? We're using the same computer, we each have our own IPods, we have different tastes. I don't want to listen his music and he does not want to listen to mine. I do not want to give up my music (I kept my songs in the library) and he wants to add his. This is not working out. My husband and our other son wanted to buy IPods too, but now that we have seen what has happened they are reconsidering their plans. We each have our own music preferences.
    Now that my son and I are conjoined at the IPods, how can you separate us without damage to our IPods? Has anyone thought about a multiple IPod household with different tastes and a posibility that each may want to listen to their own choice of music. Is there any help for us?

    Use the instructions in this article to transfer different songs to each iPod. The iTunes library is stored on a per-account basis by default; all copies of iTunes will have the same iTunes library when run from the same account.
