How to listen to purchased audiobook also on ipad?

Hi,
I bought an audio book on my iphone and would like to listen to it also on my ipad sometimes, unfortunately when i search for it on the ipad it asks me to pay for it again. How come? Its the same account and shouldn't do that right? Like music and all the rest are being synced trough the icloud automatically how come the audiobook doesn't ?
Thank you.

You should transfer it to your computer.  File>Devices>Transfer Purchases.
From there you can sync it to your other idevices.

  • How do I transfer purchased audiobooks to my iPad 3rd gen?

    Hi.
    I have some audiobooks previously purchased from iTunes Store. I have been able to transfer them to my iPod Nano, but I can`t find out how to transfer them to my new iPad.
    I started the iBooks app, but could only find pdf-files there. I have also checked iTunes store on the iPad, but if I browse for the books it asks me to purchase them again.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance

    Audiobooks go in to the Music app. Just connect your iPad to your Mac and drag them over from your main Library. If you want to download them directly on your iPad, open the iTunes app and make sure you're signed in. Your content should be available from the Purchased tab at the bottom.

  • HT1727 How can i retrieve purchased audiobooks that were not synced (problem encountered during sync process).  My account shows the purchase history, but the apps are no longer displayed in itunes or on my ipad or iphone

    How can i retrieve purchased audiobooks that were not synced (problem encountered during sync process)?  My account shows the purchase history, but the apps are no longer displayed in itunes or on my ipad or iphone.  I'm not very savvy with using iTunes - I don't think is very intuitive (unlike me:)).  Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

  • HT1660 Unable to find recently purchased audiobook on my IPad 2

    Unable to find recently purchased audiobook on my IPad 2

    Thanks for your help Deggie.
    I connect my iPad with USB cable to my iMac.
    Launch iTunes and confirme that can access my iPad
    I select Keynote in the left side list and click Synchronise button at the bottom iTunes window.
    I can see in my iPad that it is loading but everything stops at about 60%
    I have tried also deleting Keynote from the iPad by holding the app icon and select the X to delete it but it won't delete.
    Really tried every possible solution out there. Nothing works for me.
    I even deleted manually Keynote.ipa manually and downloaded again.
    There seems to be a sync problem between the iPad and IMac.
    The horizontal scrolling bar showing the evolution of the transfert to the iPad goes much faster than the small circle showing the download time.
    When the syncing is finished in Itunes, there is about 40% left showing on the Keynote icon and it stops there.
    Touching the icon, it changes to "pause"
    Touching it again, it changes to loading but nothing happens.
    I have put a lot of time into this annoying problem.
    One more thing, my wife have a more recent iPad and no problem doing the update.
    Sorry for my english.... hope I am clear enough.
    Regards
    Richard

  • How can I put purchased songs from my iPad to my daughters iPod?

    How can I load purchased songs from my iPad to my daughters iPod?

    You can either sync them to her iPod using iTunes, or sign into your Apple ID in Settings>iTunes & App Store on her iPod and download them as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519.  If she is already signed into a different ID, tap it, sign out, then sign into your ID.  (Note: If she has already enabled automatic downloads or downloaded previous purchases on her iPod using a different ID, she will have to wait 90 days before she can switch IDs to yours.)

  • How do i get an audiobook from my ipad to my iphone?

    How do I get my audiobook from my ipad to my iphone 4s?

    I don't understand why I can't download it to my ipod directly from iTunes.   I have never understood this synching thing.  If I buy from Amazon I can download to my device as long as I can connect to the Internet and log into Amazon.  Not so with iTunes which requires that a device connect to a computer first and then go through a bizarre synching process.  The whole system is horrible.  Why can't I just log into iTunes and download to whatever device I am using at the time?

  • How does one copy an audiobook to the iPad?

    Received an audiobook and wanted to listen to it on long trip (air). How do I transfer it to the iPad. I recorded the book on iTunes, but don't get the full book, only a few chapters. Help.

    Hi cekneary,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    You can sync audiobooks to your iPad just like music or other content using iTunes.
    First make sure the audiobook has been imported into iTunes, then sync it using the article below.

  • How do I transfer an audiobook from my IPad to my MP3

    How do I transfer an audiobook, purchased from ITunes, from my IPad to my MP3

    If purchased on the iPad then you need to transfer the audiobook to your computer first. Connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes and then do File > Transfer Purchases. You can't connect and mp3 player/iPod/iPhone etc to the iPad in order to transfer music between them.

  • How do I recover purchased audiobooks?

    I purchased several audiobooks from iTunes and downloaded them to my iPhone.
    To save space, I removed some of them.
    How can I re-download them to my more spacious iPad?

    I don't think that audiobooks are included in the iTunes in the cloud availability for free downloads again. If you delete them, you have to purchase them again. That is why Apple "stresses" backing up your purchases in iTunes by transferring purchased content into your iTunes library. If you rely simply on downloading something again after you delete it, it may not be available when you go to download it again.
    Anyway, I am pretty use that's the case with audiobooks, but the best way to know for sure, is to go the purchased tab in iTunes and see if they show up for another download, but I don't think that they will.
    You can check here to see exactly what content you can download again for free with your Apple ID.
