HT1535 Downloaded audiobook to iPad but cannot move book to computer. Help? or iPhone

I downloaded an audiobook to my iPad, and though it is noted on my Account History, it is not in my audiobook inventory on iTunes.  I set my iPad configuration to "manually" transfer content...didn't help.  When I connect my iPad to my computer, the downloaded audiobook does not show up on iPad tab.  How do I transfer the audiobook to my laptop?  I have already synced both devices. Help!?

1.  I'm assuming you bought this in iTunes?  If so, in iTunes go to iTunes Store, then go to Purchased, then click on Books.  You should then be able to download this book to your laptop by finding the book in your purchase history and clickin the cloud download icon next to it.
2.  You can setup iTunes to automatically download your books or audiobook purchases by going to Preferences, then click on the Store icon, then check Books under Automatic Downloads (this is for iTunes on a Mac).  The Automatic Downloads option for your iDevices is found under Settings and then under the Store tab on your iDevices.

  • I rented a movie on my iPad but cannot move it to my computer to watch on tv via Apple tv. How do I transfer the rented movie to my computer?

    I rented a movie on my iPad but cannot move it to my computer to watch on tv via Apple tv. How do I transfer the rented movie to my computer?

    I just rented a movie from my iPad2 and tried to play it through my ATV2 with AirPlay and same problem.... This is absurd guys. Apple I know there are copyright hoops to jump through but come on!! The whole pitch behind AirPlay and AppleTV was to make it easy to watch my purchases on my TV no matter what device they were on. Now I've got to hold my iPad in front of my face to watch a movie for nearly 3 hours!! And when I go to the support site I have no option other than to send an email to billing, screw this. I've not bought a DVD since I purchased my ATV2 over a year ago but if you guys are gonna pull this crap then what incentive do I have to continue the use of something that may or may not work the way it was advertised.
    By the way, this is the first time I've had this problem because I normally rent straight off the ATV or my computer, which by the way I was considering replacing my PC with an iPad but looks like you guys aren't ready for me to make that kind of a switch.
    Don't tell us that a product will do XY and Z then put limits on Y sending to Z.
    FIX THIS!!!

  • I have downloaded ringtones to my iPad but cannot get them to sync to my iPhone

    I have downloaded several ringtone and text tones to my iPad but they do not copy over to my iPhone. Would appreciate advice on how to put this right please.

    I was going to suggest E-Mailing them, but it would be easier just to download them again on the iPhone.

  • After updating to the new ios i can Undock ipad but cannot move it across the screen anymore! I'm using the ipad 3. Help anyone??

    Hello
    After updating to the new iOS on my ipad 3 I find that I can no longer move the undocked keyboard across the screen to my desired location as I used to. Does anyone else have the same issue?

    Here's the writeup from the iOS 6 Manual for iPad about moving and splitting the keyboard:
    Keyboard layouts
    On iPad, you can type with a split keyboard that’s at the bottom of the screen, or undocked and in the middle of the screen.
    Adjust the keyboard: Touch and hold , then:
    Use a split keyboard: Slide your finger to Split, then release.
    Move the keyboard to the middle of the screen: Slide your finger to Undock, then release.
    Return to a full keyboard: Slide your finger to Dock and Merge, then release.
    Return a full keyboard to the bottom of the screen: Slide your finger to Dock, then release. Turn Split Keyboard on or off: Go to Settings > General > Keyboard > Split Keyboard.

    The movie will only be where you put it.
    However,in some countries you can redownload some movies:

    HI CEGS,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    Audiobooks can be found in your Music app on the iPad.
    I've referenced the section of the iPad User Guide (page 78):
    manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/ipad_user_guide.pdf
    See additional browse buttons: Tap More.
    I hope this information helps ....
    Have a great day!

  • I bought an audiobook and it downloaded to my ipad but not my Gen4 itouch, it doesn't show an audiobook section under purchases, how do I do this?

    I am really upset.
    I really love my itouch but anything beyond using it as a daytimer, camera and note keeper is shear torture.
    I post a question, I have to repost it multiple times.
    I search for a solution to a problem, such as, "How do I download an audiobook" - I get a web page of all the things that itouch can do, but no instructions on how to do them.
    So here's my latest problem.
    Yes I am repeating myself again!
    I bought an audiobook and it downloaded to my iPad, but, not my gen4 itouch, it doesn't show an audiobook section under purchases in iTunes, how do I do this?
    Does anyone out there know of a web site that just gives answers to apple questions? ( I don't need to know what it could do, I need to know how to do it!)
    Thank you for your help!
    Ken

    Have you checked to see whether it's in the Music app (iTunes on the iPad it just the store, it doesn't contain your downloaded and synced content) ? When you have audiobooks on an iPad you will get an Audiobooks option under the More button at the bottom of the Music app.
    Note that audiobooks are currently a one-time only download from the store (so they won't appear in the Purchased tab for re-downloading), so you may want to copy it to your computer's iTunes via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases so that you can take a backup copy of it - it should copy over to the Books part of your iTunes library.

    Unless you have a copy of the iPod backup file from the previous computer installation you are out of luck. If yo have that file move it to your computer and restore the iPod from that backup.  Otherwise, you will have to restore the iPod to factoery defaults/new iPod and lose all your app date. That is the way it is since the iPod sees the computer as a new computer/iTunes library.  That backup file is located:
    Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
    Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\

  • I have downloaded the NUMBERS App, but cannot open it. Any ideas?

    I bought an ipad2 yesterday and downloaded the NUMBERS App but cannot make it work. I cannot open it. Unfortunately I am not used to ipads so maybe I'm missing something.
    HELP Please

    Did you use the mac app store? If so, you downloaded it for a Mac.
    If you downloaded from the iTunes application, or from the iPad itself, then on the iPad, go to the home page, and press the home button once to bring up search (you may have to press it again) Type in Numbers. Does anything come up?

  • TS1702 i open Pages on Ipad but cannot open my documents

    i open Pages on Ipad but cannot open my documents

    Try this. It worked for me.
    I discovered the same problem.  I had an older version of Pages on my iPad. After updating it to the latest version all my previous documents created in pages for the iPad were rendered unreadable and a message stated that they were an invalid format.  Why for the life of me would a program that was created by Apple and sense updated not be able to read previous versions...well that's a whole other sad story.  Any way I discovered how to fix it but it would require that you had backup your iPad on a computer and not emptied your trash. If this sounds good than here is how you fix it... And it worked for me.
    These steps will enable you to reinstall a previous version of the Pages app so you can be able to read and edit older documents.
    FIRST: if you did backup your iPad using your computer and did not empty your trash, GOTO the trash and look for PAGES 1.4 (or other number) ipa ( that's the file extension) ie PAGES 1.4 ipa.
    SECOND: move that file out of the trash and onto your desktop.  Once you do this, double click on it and a box will come up stating a newer version has been found and do you want to revert back to older version. ANSWER YES. It will than automatically place and overwrite the older version back into the file on iTunes that contains the rest of your backed up apps.
    THIRD: and this is where it is important that your backup would have to have been on your computer. I'm not sure if backup on the cloud will work.  iCloud backup at your own risk And here's why. Before you restore you will need to remove the latest version of Pages off your iPad by doing the usual : holding down the home button until the apps wiggle and remove by pressing on X on app.  Removing off your iPad will also delete all your documents but if you have a previous backup on your computer those documents will be stored safely on itunes and will return.
    FORTH: plug your iPad into your computer and allow it to sync so iTunes will recognize it. Once iTunes is up and you can see that it recognizes your iPad, GOTO "FILE/DEVICES/RESTORE FROM BACKUP."  ******* DO NOT CLICK ON BACKUP***** click on RESTORE FROM BACKUP. This will reinstall all previous settings and documents that were their when you backuped PLUS the older version of Pages that you placed back from the above steps. Let it run through all the setups ( this could take up to 20 minutes...depending on amount of data and photos and apps).
    FIFTH: Once everything is reinstalled a message will popup on your computer stating "to leave iPad plugged in until iTunes recognizes it again" ( it's basically rebooting itself).  Once done (leave iPad plugged in still) GOTO iPad and follow the steps. IMPORTANT:  iPad will ask you if you want to SET IT UP AS A NEW IPAD, BACK UP FROM THE CLOUD or BACK UP FROM ITUNES.....press SET UP AS NEW IPAD. Follow all of the steps required. Once complete GOTO iTunes on computer, look for "IPAD" plus a little arrow ( should be on upper right corner of iTunes window, click on it ( this will safely disconnect your iPad from iTunes) . Now unplug iPad from computer and go to your iPad and look for the older version of Pages. It should be there along with all your old documents ( readable and editable too).
    Hope this helps. Good luck.
