HT201272 missing audiobook !!!!

i cant find an audiobook i downloaded on any of my devices or previous purchases on itunes. but i can see i was charged for it in my billing info. how do i redownload it?

Audiobooks are currently a one-time only download from iTunes - have you not got a backup copy of it on, for example, an external drive ?

I plugged my iPhone into my MacBook and my audiobooks are gone. When I go to iTunes it looks as though I never purchased them. Please help me figure out how I might recover my missing audiobooks, thank you.

I have run into this problem once before last week and I called to solve the problem. But when I plugged my iPhone knot my MacBook again my audiobooks were gone again. If you could help me recover my audiobooks that would be great!! Thank you!

Missing Audiobooks Listing

In the past 24 hours my library list (audiobooks only) is totally missing. I can't even import the ones I have backed up on my external drive because they will not show up. The only ones that do show are only coming up when I look in my Recently Purchased lists. Any ideas?

I have a similar problem, my iPhone died today and I was going to continue listening to the book off my mac book pro... but I cant see the book. Does anyone know how to re-download the audiobook?

HT201272 My audiobooks all disappeared off my ipad after I synced with my laptop.

I can see them on iTunes on my laptop but I can't transfer them back or even open them. What's happening and how do I get them back?
They don't appear as purchases on my iTunes account. It's like I never bought them in the first place.

Audiobooks behave differently than music, since you can't re-download them, they don't appear in some places. But if you access your account purchase history, you should be able to see the purchases.
It's hard to know why they won't transfer back from iTunes to your iPad without more information. From your comments I assume you purchased the audiobooks from the iTunes Store. What happens when you try to play the audiobook in iTunes? Do you get an error message? What size is reported for the track(s)? What format? Can you view the tracks in the Finder (or Explorer)?
It would also help to see your sync settings for audiobooks. Connect your device to your laptop, and in iTunes, click on it in the source list. Then view the Books tab, Audiobooks section. Are you sync'ing audiobooks? Do your audiobooks show up in the list? Are they checked for synchronization? Etc.

The mysterious case of the missing audiobooks

In the latest version of Music for iPad (and I guess iPhone), there is no longer a link to access the audiobooks I've downloaded from iTunes over the years.
I've searched in iBooks and other equally obscure IOS Apps, but they remain stubbornly disappeared.
They also don't appear on my 'purchased' list. How rude.
Where have the naughty Apple tinkerers put my Audiobooks?
can anyone solve this conundrum?

If you are on iOS 8.2 then update to iOS 8.3.
If that doesn't solve the problem try the standard troubleshooting steps in this order:
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10-15 seconds). No data will be lost.
Restore: Connect your device to iTunes on your computer, backup, and then select Restore to Factory.

Missing audiobook button??

I downloaded the newest iOS5 to my iPad2 - I selected to sync my audio books, the sync completed but there is no button or link to audio books any more where it used to be under ipod! Now a button for music, photos, books , videos etc but where the heck are my audiobooks??

If you have audiobooks on the iPad then you should be able to access them via the More button at the bottom of the Music app.

HT201272 Missing digital booklet. Please help me find it.

I purchased Phillip Phillips new album that was supposed to have a digital booklet. However, after several visits back to iTunes store, the booklet is nowhere that I see. It's not downloaded either. Where do I find it?

I sure am not following. There is no such folder or music file on my computer. I followed all of these suggestions to the letter but the folder and music file simply are not there. Yet, when I play the theme it plays from somewhere. I am hearing the song. Just for info, I control-clicked on iDVD and opened "show package contents." After going into the "Contents" folder I opened the Resources folder. While in the Resources folder, I found no such theme or file for music. I am using iDVD 5 on a G5 with OS 10.4.2. Could there be something I am missing. I sure feel stupid right now.

Missing audiobooks content

After upgrading to Mavericks, I plugged my iPhone into my computer and opened iTunes to transfer some audiobooks back to my computer and put others on my phone. While I had 5 books on my phone, once I opened iTunes, those books went grey and I am getting a message saying "can't locate content." Now, the books aren't even on my phone. I can see them on the info page under books...audiobooks, but when I hit apply, nothing happens. If I try to drag the books into iPhone, I can't...they are greyed out.
Any idea how I retrieve this content??
Thank you!

You have all the files you need. The en-US is what is inside the final download/extraction.
In other words if I copy past them, it will replace the older files. Should I do that ?
That is actually a good question. For the library, copy away. And for the others, it does not appear to matter. But, for example, with styles, the styles you have in your styles folder now were installed by the .exe that installed some Encore and Premeire Pro styles, templates, etc. In the Encore en-US styles, you will see some with .psdloc extensions, rather than .psd extensions. When you copy those, the ones with .psdloc will not work. But they are all (I think) already in the styles folder. Copying over them will not replace the ones that were previously without the .psdloc. I don't really know how all this works. It still looks like this is a mess.
But put the library where they go, and you will have the content you need.

Missing Audiobook option

I have a 2gb, 2nd gen nano, and have just downloaded an audiobook, and have synched my ipod. I don't have an audiobook option on my ipod, so how can I listen to the book on my ipod?

Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions.
You should be able to turn on the menu option: Settings > Main Menu > Music >> Audiobooks On/Off.
Merry Christmas

HT201272 Missing TV Episode

Missing TV Episode but iTunes Store says it is downloaded. How do I get it to download and fix it?
I purchased the TV programme Spaced but one episode has disappeared from my hard disk, but all will be fine I am covered by iMatch on iCloud but no.....
If I try to download it from iCloud it comes up with an error.
If I try to show iTunes where it is located on my hard disk I can't because it isn't there.
If I try to purchase it again iTunes Store says I've got it already and I can't download it.
If I log into iCloud and check my purchases it says its downloaded and I can't download it again.
I am stuck please can someone help thank you
Graeme
Thx

If you still have it listed in the TV shows part of your iTunes library (where you are getting the 'unable to locate' message) then iTunes will see that and assume that you still have it somewhere and that there is no need to re-download it - try deleting it from there and it should then get the cloud symbol against it in the Purchased link for re-downloading.
Note that TV shows aren't covered by iTunes Match, there is no guarantee that they will remain in the store for re-downloading in the future, so ideally you'd copy them (and your other downloads) onto a backup, just in case the TV company removes from the store

HT201272 missing purchases

I am missing multiple purchases from the download section of past purchases. I can see the purchase date and other information in my account information through itunes. I want to be able to download all of my past purchases not just a few. Why are some purchases missing? I have only checked movies because that list is shorter but I am wondering if some of the music is missing too. I will check that later. I need help finding a way to get all of my purchases (from the same account) onto the download section so I can download anytime through the cloud. Thanks

If films (and similarly for other content) are no longer in the store (or potentially if it's a different version of the film now in the store) then they won't appear in the Purchased link/tab for re-downloading - and not all film studios have agreed to re-downloading, so that might also explain why some are missing. If you think that some of the missing films should appear then you could contact iTunes support and see if they can see why they don't show : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page
As there is no guarantee that any content will remain in the store for re-downloading, you should also be maintaining your own backup copy of your purchases, and not just rely on the Purchased link/tab.

Missing audiobook

I see that there are a lot of questions about not being able to locate purchased audiobooks. I've done a lot of reading but not found my solution.
I purchased an audiobook in the iTunes store, using my computer. I see it in my Library and can play it on my computer.
I would like to put it on my iPod too.
I used File > Devices > Transfer Purchases. I see the arrows spin around on the iPod button.
But when I look in Music > More on the iPod, there is no category of Audiobooks. Just Compilations, Composers, Genres, and Podcasts.
So I thought maybe I don't have the option synced, to load audiobooks to the iPod. Still using the computer, I clicked to look at what is on my iPod. There is no audiobook category there either. (There is a category of Books, and it shows a few checked there, but they don't show up either--not in the Music or iBooks app.)
Ideas?

I did make a bit of progress. I noticed that on the "Books" screen mentioned above there is an Audiobooks option down at the bottom of the screen. I didn't have the window open enough to see it. So I checked Sync Audiobooks and checked the one book I want synced onto the iPod. Told it to sync then. Still no "Audiobooks" category under "More."

HT201272 Lost audiobook.. I am four

computer crashed a year ago, notice recently a past audiobook purchased was not there, searched, could not find it in the purchased area under the book section. Do I have to buy it again?

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.
Have you failed to do this?
You only get one download of audiobooks.
You can try contacting itunes support and asking for an exception.
Otherwise, you would have to buy again.
