HT1848 recover lost audio book

I purchased an iphone 5 and immediately began to use it.  I purchased an audio book directly from the phone, before I had the chance to set up and sync the phone with the imac for the first time.  Later when I set the phone up and attempted to sync the phone with the mac - the book disappeared. I first saw it in the itunes library - then later it was gone on both the computer and the phone.  Is there a way to recover the audio book?

If it is really gone, Itunes can grant it back. But you will have to call apple care to get it done.

  • Lost audio book that I purchased

    Hello, total noob, sorry if this sounds stupid..
    I recently bought a book on Itunes using my home computer. Downloaded it and even got it to play list on my Nano. Went out of town and installed Itunes on my laptop. Connected Nano and a quick message said something like, my book isnt allowed to be played on this system. Tried to authorise this computer and that worked. However I do not have a library item saying Audio Books or even purchased. Is there a way to get this book back or do I have to wait until I get back home and try there.
    Thanks

    Sounds as if you got this message.
    If you clicked "yes", then the content on your iPod will have been erased and replaced with the contents of the iTunes library you just connected to.
    In that case, you'll have to wait until you can connect the iPod to your home computer and transfer the audiobook to the iPod once more.
    If you want to use the iPod with more than one computer, here's how.

  • Can you recover lost audio from QuickTime screen recording?

    I recorded a two hour interview on FaceTime using the screen recording feature on QuickTime. Video is great, but no sound. I really don't want to have to re-do the interview if at all possible. Is there a way to recover the audio?

    The screen recorder does not "natively" record audio. So if you did not record audio through a microphone (poor quality) or install/use additional software to capture system audio, then there is no audio to "recover" in your recording.

  • How do I recover purchased audio books

    I purchased the audio book the sum of all fears it was accidentally deleted and when I try to download it again in the purchased section of itunes only 2 of the 5 parts are available.

    Hello
    I solved my missing audio book problem. Here are some of the details.
    The files were there on the HD but iTunes was not showing them infact there was no audio books shown. There was not even an audio book option in the iTunes window. All of my Audio books have been downloaded from the iTunes store to this machine. This is a glitch in the Leopard upgrade.
    The good news is the resolution was simple enough. I had to re-authorize the iMac again and then all of the books showed back up and the audiobooks folder was visible in the iTunes window.
    Researching the problem uncovered a problem that others may be having with fileformats of audiobooks that are purchased from a non itunes source or those downloaded from CD's This was not my problem since all of my books were purchased from the Apple iTunes store.

  • How can I recover an audio book that I bought on itunes?

    Audiobooks are stored under Books, Audiobooks in your library.

  • Once on iCloud how do you recover lost address book data?

    After moving to iCloud my wife suddenely lost all her contact info earlier today.  When opening Address Book on her iMac & iPad all contact info was gone.  We signed on to iCloud.com and it was gone there too.  For some reason it was still on her iPhone.  I tried to force a merge from her phone by shutting off iCloud Contacts; selecting to keep data on the device; then turned it back on hoping to get the 'merge data' option.  I didn't get that message and sure enough in a few seconds the address book on her phone went empty.
    So, this raised the question about where do I recover the data from?  I looked in finder on her iMac under user/Library/Addplication Support/Address Book - there were some files and directories there, but nothing that looked like it was loaded with contact info. I'm assumming once she moved to iCloud the detail is no longer stored locally in OS X?
    I went into System Prefs and shut off iCloud Contacts on the iMac, opened Time Machine, went back a week ago (prior to iCloud) and found contact info in the user/Library/Addplication Support/Address Book directory and restored the entire directory.  Opened Address Book and it was populated with data.  turned on iCloud Contacts and selected the 'Merge' data option which then populated her other devices.
    So, the question is - what if it had been longer than a week - where is this data (and probably calendar data too!) being backed up and where (and how) would you restore it from if it did suddenly turn up missing?

    So this gets back to my original question... not sure if bgbrobru is running Time Machine backups, but even if he is, I don't think the Address Book data is recoverable (unless you go back to a pre-iCloud backup) because it is no longer stored locally.
    If I understand correctly the only thing we can do going forward is to run a periodic 'manual' export of iCal and Address Book data to insure we have a backup?  In the event I do something stupid and mistakingly delete something or - like what happened to my wife today - the entire address book (or calendar entries) just disapear, we are screwed?  I guess this would also apply to email stored in folders on iCloud?
    Seems there should be some way to capture the iCloud data in a Time Machine (or some other mechanism) backup?
    Sorry Rick but that's incorrect,
    Here's a shot of the folder it lives in and the path to it, Time Machine backs it up.

  • Files recently downloaded from Canon Legeria FS306 do not play the audio. Can hear audio on camera or downloading same files to a PC. Also hear audio on earlier files downloaded from same camera to iMovie '11. How do I avoid problem & recover lost audio?

    Files recently downloaded from Canon Legeria FS306 to iMovie '11 do not play the audio. I can still hear audio on the camera or by downloading the same files to a PC. Can also hear audio on earlier files downloaded from the same camera to iMovie '11. How do I avoid this problemand recover lthe ost audio?

    The first thing to try is to run Software Update (the Update tab in the Mac App Store.). This was an issue a couple of releases ago, and an update seemed to fix it.
    If you are already at the most recent version of iMovie, then I don't know how to solve you issue. Maybe someone else will have some ideas.

  • Recovering Lost Address Book

    I've recently run into some trouble with syncing my address book with google contacts and ended up losing all my contacts. It sucked, but I kept my cool and eventually found that all my original contact information seems to be contained within the AddressBook-v22.abcddb within my /Users/bbarcelo/Library/Application Support/AddressBook directory. Needless to say I've got this file backup now and will be smarter about my address book in the future but my real question is this: My old (deleted) contact information appears to have been retained in the previously mentioned file but I can only view it using nano in the terminal. If I try to view it with an SQLite viewer I don't see the information contained in any specific table. Now, it's possible I could parse through this by hand but I was really hoping someone out there knew of a way I could extract everything to a readable format without all the jargon text and such...

    sorry, i did misunderstand. then you do need to read that file. I don't know how to do that if Sqlite doesn't work. but for the future, as i said, this is the wrong file to save. it's rather hard to get info from.
    the following trick worked for me. i suggest you try it. create a new user account and copy that file to the corresponding place in the home directory on that user account. then start address book on that account. it will read the database file (provided it's not corrupted) and recreate metadata from it. you can then export the contacts in one giant vcard as I suggested and then import that card into the address book on your main account.

  • I was not warned that audiobooks are a one time download only for those using iCloud to backup. As a result I've lost my audiobook when switching to a new iPhone after the previous phone was damaged. Will Apple refund me for the audio book?

    If you haven't been keeping a backup of your downloads (none of your iTunes downloads are included in an iCloud backup, apps, music etc are only redownloadable whilst they remain in your country's store) then you can try contacting iTunes support and see if they will grant you a redownload : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

  • HT5085 I had purchased an audio book but now it is not on my phone after updates. How can I get it without buying again?

    Anyone know how to retrieve a lost audio book purchased in past?

    Audiobooks are a one-time only download from the store. If it's no longer on your phone then do you have a copy of it in the Books part of your computer's iTunes library and/or on your backup of your downloads/library so that you can sync it back ? If not, and if it's still in your country's store and you haven't changed countries since buying it, then you can try contacting iTunes Support and see if they will grant you a redownload : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/
