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 transfer purchased audio books?

    I purchased audio books while using my PC. I have now converted to a mac. I burned my audio books to a DVD and I have reformatted my Ipod to Mac but can't transfer my audio books from the DVD back onto my Ipod.

    Thanks for getting back to me so quickly,
    I have only ever synced my ipodtouch once and that was before I'd bought the audio books in question on alaptop that got run over by a bus. (i know..... tell me about it).
    I reinstalled itunes (not on the same one ) and authorized my laptop and signed in etc... But i can’t see where the purchased audio booksare.

  • 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?

    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

  • 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.

  • 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?!
    i have a windows7 pc

    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.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Audiobooks are not currently part of the content that can be re-downloaded. You should sync your audiobooks to other devices via iTunes on your computer.

    How do I recover audio books that I purchased on IPad 1

    You needed to have saved them on your computer as backup.  Unfortunately audioBooks cannot be redownloaded (music and apps can, but not audiobooks).

  • 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

    You cannot redownload audiobooks at all.
    They will only be where you put them.

    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.
