How to transfer book from overdrive media console to iTunes 11?

I've downloaded a book from my library using Overdrive.
The Overdrive media console video shows how to load the book into iTunes.
However, I cannot select iTunes as a destination for the download - iTunes launches when I go to the download selection window, but iTunes is not shown as an option (I can download directly into my iPods).
How can I load the book into iTunes so that I can manage which iPod, etc. that I want to carry it at any given time?

Do it for free on a PC running iTunes.
Do it for free on an older Mac capable of running Audion.
Conversion software (mostly commercial):
Switch (free basic version) - http://www.nch.com.au/switch/index.html  - I'm not sure if this will do WMA
All2MP3 - http://download.cnet.com/All2MP3/3000-2140_4-190407.html - mixed success with WMA
Flip4mac - need the intermediate payware version which lets you convert.  Use with Quicktime player.  Flip4Mac - http://dynamic.telestream.net/downloads/download-flip4macwmv.asp?prodid=flip4mac wmv  - The free version will let Quicktime play but not convert Windows Media files.
After installation a new Flip4Mac pane will appear in System Preferences.  Make sure you set the boxes to ensure that it will play WMV files in Quicktime.
VLC - not really a converter but will do some in the export menu but may be slow and a bit of a learning curve.
Explore online converters where you upload a file in one format and download in another.

  • Error 0x80004002 - when trying to transfer an audio book from OverDrive Media Console

    I am getting this error message - Error 0x80004002 - when trying to transfer an audio book from OverDrive Media Console.  It was working a couple of weeks ago.  It keeps telling me to downloan iTune9.0.2 (or newer) but I have the most up to date version of iTunes.  Also tells me the device is not connected, but it is.

    The publisher of the book seems to have restricted copying of the book on to other devices. Contact the book distributor.

    Trying to download books from overdrive media console and getting the this error
    For this apple device transfer wizard requires the itunes option “manually manage music (and videos) be enabled. To enable this option, view, summary ‘information about your device in itunes and place a checkmark next to option “manually manage music (and videos)

  • I downloaded audio books from overdrive media and my ipod nano 6th generation showed it was transferring why can't I find the audio books on my ipod?

    I downloaded audio books from overdrive media and my ipod nano 6th generation showed it was transferring and now I can't find it on my Ipod where would it be?

    The problem may have been in how you transfered it.  You didn't go into much detail.  Just be sure to follow the steps in the tutorial below.  Note Paragraph 5.
    Many libraries worldwide now use Overdrive Media Console, which comes in Mac an Windows versions http://www.overdrive.com/Software/omc .  Some find the mobile device transfer process confusing.  To load or delete a WMA or MP3 (Macs can only download MP3 books) audiobook onto an Apple mobile device see the "How to Transfer to a Portable Device" video in the guides at Step 7, then do the following.
    1. For Windows versions, you must first do a security update of Windows Media Player (even though you won't be using it) using Internet Explorer at http://drmlicense.one.microsoft.com/indivsite .
    2.  Open iTunes, plug the mobile device into the computer USB port and open the Overdrive Media Console.
    3. Highlight the mobile device in the left hand menu of iTunes and insure the "Manually manage music and videos" box is checked in the Summary Tab. If the mobile device storage is full, transfering will delete that portion of music necessary for the ebook.
    4. Highlight the book you want to transfer in the Overdrive Media Console and click the Transfer Button.   A window opens permitting you to click the boxes for parts of the book you wish to transfer.
    5. After the book has been transfered, when you click the disclosure triangle (arrow) to the left of the iPod, iPhone, or iPad in the Device section of the left hand menu of iTunes, MP3 books will show up under the Music subsection and WMA books will show up in the Books subsection.  Once the mobile device is disconnected from iTunes, MP3 books will show up in the Songs list of the mobile device and WMA books will show up in the Books list.
    6. To remove a book from a mobile device plug the device into the USB port and open iTunes. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of your iPod, iPhone, or iPad in the Device section of the left hand menu of iTunes so that you can see the device’s subcontents. For an MP3 book select the Music subsection, right click on the book and choose Delete.  For a WMA book, select the Book subsection, right click on the book and choose Delete.
    7. The Overdrive Media Console Guided Tour (videos) is at http://www.overdrive.com/Solutions/Libraries/tour/MenuWelcome.html .  The "Portable Devices" and "How to Transfer to a Portable Device" videos are there.
    8. To find a nearby library for ebooks search http://search.overdrive.com .  You can download the software, search for books and see tutorials without an account at the website of any library that uses Overdrive, however, you need a library card to download books.  At this library site, for example, the software and guided tour are at the bottom of the left hand menu.

  • I have trouble transferring audiobooks from Overdrive Media Console.

    I have trouble transferring audiobooks from Overdrive Media Console.  Sometimes the book does not transfer.  Sometimes it winds up in music.

    I agree that transferring audiobooks to an iPhone using Overdrive is very flaky.  My biggest issue now is that when I do a transfer, about every 3rd or 4th segment doesn't transfer successfully.  I have to go back and select those and transfer again and then they are out of order with no apparent way to put them in the correct order.  So when I start listening to the book, I have to closely monitor when I am at the end of a part so that I can manually select the next part.
    My latest transfer of a book with 14 parts placed 2 versions in Audiobooks with the order 5, 12, 1, 2, 3, 6, 8, 9, 10, 13, 14. (missing parts 4, 7, and 11)
    When I went back to Overdrive and selected parts 4, 7, and 11 to transfer, my iPhone then had a playlist with the book with the order 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 13, 14, 4, 7, 11.
    Crazy!!

  • How to transfer downloads from library to windows 7 itunes

    I have downloaded audiobooks from the public library and connot transfer them to my ipod through itunes using Windows 7

    I'm having a similar problem attempting to transfer an audio book via OverDrive Media Console to my iPod Touch using a Win 7 PC.  I am not new to the process...I have successfully transferred books many times in the past...and I experimented and had no trouble transferring the same book using a different PC to the same iPod.
    The only thing that has happened is that when I attemped a recent iTunes update, my PC froze during the process and forced me to abort the update....and since then I have not been able to complete an audio book transfer without getting the the following error message...
    "No portabel players could be found.  Please make sure your portable player or cable is properly inserted into the appropriate slot of this computer."
    Although the Overdrive Media Console does not recognize the attached iPod, the iPod is recognized by the PC and iTunes and as I mentioned earlier, recognized by another PC.
    I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes, Overdrive Media Console and QuickTime multiple times, reset the iPod and I still have the problem.  I assume the problem is with Overdrive, however I cannot find a solution anywhere and Overdrive does not have any kind of support or forum and their FAQ that supposedly addresses the error message is useless.
    Any advice or leads to solving this problem will be greatly appreciated.

  • Can not find WMA files in iTunes, for borrowing library books with Overdrive Media Console

    I have borrowed audiobooks from the library, using iTunes and Overdrive Media Console for years.  some months ago, I was suddenly unable to.  thought it was my old computer, so bought a new one.  took weeks to be able to get an upgrade from Windows, and when I was finally able to thought my troubles were over.
    but, no,  now the Overdrive Media says it can not connect to iTunes.  someone at Overdrive said iTunes had to be the default player for WMA files, but I can not figure out how to make that happen, since there is nothing that looks like 'WMA files' anywhere on my computer.  any advice?  I can't afford to purchase audiobooks, and I really miss being able to borrow from the library.  this new computer has Windows 8 OS

    There is a OneClickdigital ereader available in the App Store. Download that to your iPod to read pdfs and books from the library. And you might need to download the OneClickdigital eaudio player to listen to audiobooks from the library. Once both are downloaded sync you iPod again to transfer them.

  • UNABLE TO DOWNLOAD LIBRARY BOOKS USING OVERDRIVE MEDIA CONSOLE

    Hello until recently I was able to download e books from the library to my PlayBook using Overdrive Media Console. I was able to get directly to my PlayBook. However it is now not working. I am unable to download to PlayBook. I have deleted and reinstalled several times. The only way I can read is through my browser. This means I can only read where I have Internet access. I can not understand why it stopped working. I contacted my library but they were not sure what the problem is. Wondering if anyone has any suggestions. I hope I can figure it out as I enjoy borrowing books from the library. 

    Looks like nobody on the forum uses overdrive. Threads are mostly a year old if you search for Overdrive on the forum.
    The recent reviews on blackberry world say that it no longer works.
    Google "overdrive media console on playbook."
    Check out the playbook instructions.   http://overdrive.com/files/TestDrive/playbooksetup​-P100.pdf
    Contact the developers
    Contact the library. 
    Remember they only sold two million playbooks worldwide which is a tiny number. Support for this minority app may be hard to find. 
    If you dare, you could try the security wipe and start again, but you may lose all your data as you need to backup and restore which is risky. 
    EDIT
    Ask your library if their website has been updated to the new system which may work differently.

  • Downloading audiobooks from OverDrive Media Console

    When I download an audiobook to my iphone4 using OverDrive Media Console it appears as being in correct order when I look at it in iTunes but not on my phone.  How can I get it in the correct order on my phone.

  • Cannot finish a sync w/books from overdrive media

    I  recently upgraded my IPOD touch to IOS 5.0.1 and iTunes 10.5.1.42.  I use Overdrive Media Console version 3.2.1.0.  Since upgrading my ipod to IOS 5.0.1 I haven't been able to completely sync a book I've transfered from Overdrive Media.  Part of the chapters come through and sync then the remaining chapters appear in the book section of the IPOD but upon trying to sync, a message stating my touch could not be synced bcz the sync session failed to start.  Updated to the iTunes 10.5.1.42 and Overdrive Media yesterday.  I have also uninstalled/reinstalled iTunes, restored IPOD to factory settings, turned off iCloud back-up and nothing seems to help.  This is so very frustrating!  Anyone have a solution?
