How to sync an audio book into Itouch?

I put the audio book in the itunes library, but after syncing it goes to the music library at my itouch and the audio book category remains empty. Therefore, I cannot use the audio book features when listening to the audio book tracks. Can anyone help me please?
thanks,
dsbo

you need to highlight the tracks, right click, get info, options. change the 'media kind' to audiobook.

I do not know how to sync an audio book to my 6th gen nano.Please help?

My 6th generation Ipod nano is not letting me sync my audiobook that i bought. I also do not know how to sync the audibook and the music that i have. How do i sync them?

hi phillip,
I think I phrased my question incorrectly. I did know how to sync the ipod...or at least i was able to figure that portion out. What is happening is that Itunes says that my book was recently added however, I don't see it on my device. I've checked under artists and all the other categories because others have told me that often audiobooks don't actually get into the audiobook genre but can be found on the device in other categories. No dice for me! Now I'm reading in the forum that the extension may be prohibiting me from seeing it. Someone has script for it but only for MACS...need one for PC to change the extension. I think ITunes *****. I moved from Zune for my husband because he listens to audiobooks and Zune wasn't keeping up but it sure was a lot easier and user friendly!! Know anything about changing extensions on Windows 7 64 bit? Or on XP which my husband is still running?

How to sync purchased audio books

I purchased an audio book from the Apple store. I can listen to it on my computer but can't load it to my ipod classic 120 nor will it sysc my contacts and calendar. Everything else syncs just fine. Pictures and music work everytime I connect the computer and ipod together. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Much appreciated. I didn't realise that 'books' is different to 'audio books' and that the latter was visible when page scrolled down. Thank you for your help.

How to join two audio books into one

Somehow the audiobook that i have had for a while got split into two different audiobooks
Is there someway to merge them back together?

The following solution will merge two audio streams of different formats and mix two audio streams of the same format... translation, make sure they're the same format before you merge them.

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

I have just put an audio book into my iTunes music library. When I tried to transfer it to my iPod shuffle it rearranged the tracks so that they are in the wrong order. How can I put them in the order they appear in the book?

I have just put an audio book into my iTunes music library. When I tried to transfer it to my iPod Shuffle it put the chapters in the wrong order i.e. Chap 1, Chap 10, Chap 11 etc. rather than Chap 1, Chap 2, Chap 3 ... How can I get it to put them in the order they appear in the book?

First, we need to know if the audiobook chapters are being treated by iTunes as music files or as audiobooks. If they are not audiobooks purchased from the iTunes store, they might be getting "shuffled". You will need to look at "File" - "Properties" (I think - I don't use iTunes under Windows - or right-click on the file and choose "properties") and look at the media type. If it is "Music", change it to "Audiobook". If this is not the problem, or does not fix anything, please post back.
Actually, looking at your post again, a second thought occurs to me - assuming there are less than 100 chapters in the book, just renaming them with a leading zero on the first nine chapters might do it. A computer will alphabetically sort filenames in the order you quote (1, 10, 11, 12, 13, ... 2, 21, etc.) but a leading zero will fix that (01, 02, 03 ... 10, 11, 12)

If I import audio books into the music section of itunes it lists the books as albums and all the chapters as tracks fine when I sync them to my ipod classic, but not if I import them as audiobooks, any ideas please?

If I import audio books into the music section of itunes it lists the books as albums and all the chapters as tracks fine when I sync them to my ipod classic, but not if I import them as audiobooks and then sync them, any ideas please?

If you import the audiobook as an audiobook to your iTunes Library, it will be listed in the Books section of your Library. You may need to turn on Books in order to see them. If you cannot see the File/Edit... etc. menu, use CTRL B on your keyboard to make that menu bar appear. Then go to Edit/Preferences>Books and put a tick in the box.
But, if the imported audiobook shows up in the Music section of your iTunes Library, highglight the files (in iTunes) and select File/Get Info/Options/Media Kind>Audiobook. These files will now transfer to the Books section of iTunes.
Once on an iPod Classic, look under the Audiobooks menu. Again, you may need to change the settings in the Settings menus, in order to have the Audiobooks option shown on the Main Menu and/or the Music Menu.

How do I add audio books to my shuffle

How do I add audio books to my shuffle

If this is a 4th (or 3rd) gen shuffle, and you use automatic syncing for loading songs... Select the shuffle in iTunes. There is a row of "tabs" (buttons) starting with Summary. Click on Books there. This is the Books tab, where you tell iTunes how to sync audiobooks to the shuffle. Set it up as desired, and click Apply.
NOTE: If your shuffle is currently NOT set up for automatic syncing, its content will be replaced by content selected in the sync settings.
If you are NOT using automatic syncing for songs, so you have been loading songs manually by dragging them to the shuffle in iTunes, then you should NOT do the above. Instead, you can load audiobooks the same way. Drag the books you want to the shuffle from your Books library in iTunes.
If this is a 1st or 2nd gen shuffle, it is different. Please post back.

There are a number of tools for merging the files into one. Personally I don't bother, but you'll find links on my page which describes how to manage Audiobooks on iPods.

I have an ipod nano but i dontknow how can syc the audio books on it?!

how can i use audio books in my ipod nano?!

Configure the audiobooks to sync to your iPod from under the iPod's Books configuration tab in iTunes.
To access this configuration tab, plug in your iPod and select it from under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes to bring yourself to the iPod's Summary tab. Now locate the Books tab and select it. Here you can configure what and how audiobooks are synced to the device.
If you make any changes to this tab, make sure to hit the Apply button on in the lower right hand corner.

HT1848 how do i delete audio books from my iPod nano 5th generation

How do I delete audio books from my iPod Nano 5th generation. Have deleted from iTunes library & chose sync but it is still on my iPod.

What you do is this; the next time your ipod is jacked to the USB port on you computer and it shows under "Devices" in your Itunes library. click on that folder (your ipod) and it will have eight folders above the Ipod's state.
That was step one; step two is once you see this bar above the ipod's state in the Ipod's folder under "devices" scroll down the horizontal bar until you see audiobooks
Itune's is very user friendly and will give you the option to pick and choose or pick all. to get the audio books off your ipod pick and choose the audio books you want on you're ipod

How to sync my wife's iPad2, iTouch

How to sync my wife's iPad2, iTouch (iOS5.1) & iMac account to Mountain Lion when it was originally sync'd to my account on Loin using my ID?

Ok, to clarify:
1. You had the iPad2, iTouch, and iMac account sync'ing on 10.7 Lion under your account?
2. Now you want change those devices to your wife's Apple ID and maybe a new login account for the wife?
(Did you upgrade from Lion to Mountain Lion on a single iMac that you share?)
If that's what you meant:
1. If the devices were activated and sync'd under your Apple ID on your computer then going to a second computer you will receive an error in iTunes about the device being sync'd to a different computer. You will have to wipe the devices and start over to change that... You could also end up having Apps installed on the iOS devices some under your AppleID and some under your wife's AppleID. That can be painful as you need to logout of the App/iTunes stores and switch accounts then update. You'll see updates available but not be able to update all of them because half are under a different AppleID.
However, it is possible to share an Apple ID for purchases between devices. I use my AppleID between my work iPad3, iPhone4S, the wife's iPad2 and iPhone4 as well as my Mac's and the wife's iMac. This way all purchases are made under one account. I then setup the wife with her own iCloud account while still using my AppleID for the App/iTunes stores. All she has to know is the password to my account and I think I can trust the wife with that.
Going to need very specific information to provide you the proper course of action to save you time and effort.

I have purchased books through my kindle subscription and downloaded them to my ipad2. how do i get those books into itunes?

i have purchased books through my kindle subscription and downloaded them to my ipad2. how do i get those books into itunes?

You can't. Kindle is a different ecosystem than iTunes. Generally, you choose your book ecosystem and you stick with it or you have books in both (or in several).
There is a Kindle app for the iPad and iPhone that is just as good (and in my opinion substantially better) than the Apple iBook app.
Most purchased books (but not all) have Digital Rights Management that prevent them from being shared or moved easily. Books purchased on iTunes are meant to be used on your iPad with iBooks. Books purchased on Amazon Kindle are meant to be used on your Kindle apps.
