I bought an audiobook on itunes and I cant get it to play on my ipod shuffle (version 3 or 4)

I bought Bill Bryson's History of Everything, I would like to listen to it while running.  I have sync it to the ipod shuffle, it syncs too fast and then doesn't play when I go looking for it, it is not there!

Audiobooks are accessed and selected on the 4th gen shuffle as a "playlist."  If you press and hold the VoiceOver button on the shuffle, so that VoiceOver starts going through your playlists, your audiobooks that are synced to the shuffle should be on that list.  You can then select it and play it.

  • I have music on my phone but not in itunes and i cant get it off my phone .I dont know how it got there

    i have music on my phone but not in itunes and i cant get it off my phone .I dont know how it got there , but i suspect it came from icloud.

    if it doesnt match that means your iPhone is not provisioned for the carrier you are trying to use. Your iPhone would need to be unlocked in order to use on other carriers. You will need to contact your carrier to see if this iPhone is unlocked py providing them the IMEI. If the iPhone is not unlocked you will need to contact the carrier that the iPhone is locked to to see if they will unlock the device to use on another carrier.

  • What do I do if I bought a song on itunes and now when I go to play it it won't play the whole song?

    I bought a song on itunes and now when I go to listen to it it plays through about 20 seconds of the song and then it just skips to the next song. At first I thought there was something wrong with my ipod so I tried plugging it into my lap top but the same thing happens on my lap top. How do I get it to play the whole song?

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Delete the song and redownload it by
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

    Hi,
    This is a user-to-user forum. Everyone is voluteering their time. Sometimes you need to wait more that 4 minutes for an answer.
    Many USB ports do not supply enough power to charge an iPad. It may be charging but very slowly and only when the screen is dark. Your best bet is to charge it using the wall charger.
    It's a little hard to answer your second question without more details. However, have a look at this article:

  • I bought an audiobook from Itunes and want to put it on my iphone but it won't let me without erasing my current music library on my iphone. How can I do this?

    I have two computers with itunes. I usually use my home computer to purchase music/audiobooks and then put them onto my iphone, but today I bought an audiobook on my office computer from itunes and when I try to put it on my iphone it won't let me unless I erase my current Itunes library that's on my iphone. How do I get the audiobook onto my iphone without erasing anything?

    You transfer the purchases to the computer you use to sync the iPhone.  You can use a thumb drive or an external HD, etc.  Read this: iTunes for Mac - How to copy purchases between computers:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1373

  • TS3218 I just updated my itunes and now I get an error message saying no ipod is recognized when I plug in the ipod. Worked fine until I updated!

    Just updated itunes and now it won't recognize by ipods.  UGH! I've tried the trooubleshooting but so far nothing has worked. I haven't yet uninstalled.

    So here's the fix I found. Uninstall itunes along with the connected Apple files and programs. Then reinstall itunes.
    Hope that helps

  • HT1725 I bought an album on iTunes and one of the songs only plays a quarter of the way through before jumping to the next song. How do I download the whole song?

    The download was interrupted initially, but I continued it and all the other songs play fine. Is there a way I can be reimbursed for the purchase?

    Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting that track from your iTunes library and redownload it via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes.
    If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if it re-downloads in the same state then try the 'report a problem' page to contact iTunes Support : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
    If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work then you can try contacting iTunes support via this page : 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

  • I deleted all of my songs on itunes and now cant get them back

    Last night i deleted my songs as i wanted to put the ratings from my ipod nano 3rd gen onto them. However to my horror when I went to put the songs from my nano onto my itunes, they didn't drag across, so i am now left with the horrible choice to download all of my songs again, unless someone can tell me how i can get them back, they weren't all saved to music files on my computer either. So does anyone know what I can do to get them back.

  • My ipod froze and i cant get it to turn on, my ipod froze and i cant get it to turn on, my ipod froze and i cant get it to turn on

    my ipod is frozen on a blue screen and its wont shut off it keeps restarting plz help

    If not successful then try:
    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
