I can not find my audio books on my iPhone.

I have tried to sync my 3 recently purchased audio books with my iPhone with out success.  The files work fine on my MacBook, but I can not see them on my iPhone.  There is no field for Audio Books in  “More” on the phone.  I can see a new graph of data labeled “Documents and Data” at the bottom of the screen in iTunes on the MacBook next to the Sync button.  I presume this to be the files I am looking for, since I appeared immediately after my last sync.  Still I am unable to find or listen to the files on my phone.
In an attempt to correct this problem I just reset my phone.  All works well still no audio books.
Also I have noticed I am also having trouble syncing newly acquired music to the same iPhone.
iPhone 5 iOS 7.0.4
MacBook Pro 13-inch,  OS X10.9
Any suggestions?

If you have them on your computer's iTunes then you can re-sync them to your device (are they in the Books part of your computer's iTunes library ?) - that has not changed, only the layout of iTunes has changed with the left-hand sidebar not automatically showing, though you can enable it (option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC)
If you don't have a copy of them on your computer nor on a backup then you will need to contact iTunes support and see if they will grant you a re-download - as far as I know it's never been possible to re-download aubiobooks from the store without contacting iTunes support.

  • Can not transfer WMA audio books to new iPhone 4S

    I got a new 4S and went to sync it in iTunes and got a message saying I had to load the latest version of iTunes and went ahead and did it and it worked fine.  No issues and all synced and got all of my apps music and pictures!!  Then i went to transfer a WMA audio book using OverDrive Media and all functioned same as with my 3G phone except I can not find the books on my iPhone.  They are not in the iPod app now called Music.  Also not in the books app or in OverDrive.  Even asked Siri to find the book and she could not
    Any suggestions would be appreciated

    Hi
    Sorry to disagree whist Audible might have recorded the books Apple puts it's own protection on the Audible files they sell in their iTunes Store unless they changed that policy quite recently.
    They are dearer from iTunes at least in Australia, I will go out on a limb and say they are also in the US store
      As an example I picked the fist 2 best sellers off of iTunes Australian Audio Book Store as an example,
    I can only assume that either you are not an Audible Member and thus not seeing the Audible member price.

    Sorry if i misunderstood, but when you started talking about Audible files I assumed ( obviously incorrectly) that they were Audible files purchased from Audible. 
    Audible existed before Apple had an Audio store and Audible has it's own format. In order to use Audible files purchased from Audible you need to Authorize iTunes to do so, under the advanced menu under Authorize Audible Account.
    Your 4S i Assume has IOS 5 so i assumed it was the same issue i was having with my iPad 2 once i installed IOS 5. . . everything was working fine until i did
    I will delete my reply if Apple will let me, because my answer has obviously upset you
    I apologize for any inconvenience my post caused, i was only trying to help

  • Can't find my audio book -- Downloaded it from my public library to iTunes via Overdrive. It transferred to my old nano just fine but, even though it seemed to transfer to my new iPhone, I'm not able to locate it for playback.

    Thank you. That solved the problem. So simple but it wasn't intuitive to me.

    You mean you imported or transferred photos from your iPhone's Camera Roll with your computer?
    If so, what did you use on your computer for the import?

  • Help?  I can't find my audio book?

    I downloaded an audio book from iTunes on my computer.   I have iTunes on my iPhone.  I can't seem to find the audio book--if it's even there.  How do I do this.  (I'm used to downloading apps from iTunes and having them just be on my phone.)  Any suggestions on how to get this audio book onto my iPhone?  I'm sure it's possible . . .
    Thanks.
    PS  This community has been incredibly helpful.

  • HT1657 I can not find my rented movie on my iPhone or Mac Book, says I purchased it. Where did it go???

    I rented a movie on my IPhone from ITunes.  I plan to watch it on the flight home.  HOWEVER, I can not find it anywhere, in ITunes.  Not though my phone or computer. I waited a couple of days to see if I was charged through email.  Nothing.  So tried again to rent it, ITunes is telling me I have already rented it.  So, I looked in my account and they charged me.  So the BIG question is where is my movie.  I'm leaving tomorrow, any ideas would be GREATLY appreciated.

  • Swapped my iPad  to new air.   Can not get iTunes audio books I bought  tried not on this iPad but no luck

    Swapped my iPad to new air iPad.  Now can't find audio books I bought from iTunes.  Tried not on this iPad no luck

    I've been having this problem too, but here's the catch: originally it was only with my dad, and only sometimes.  Now it's dad and husband, every time!  Pix go through, via imessage, to everyone else, and they go through to dad/husband if I "send as text" after it fails. 
    And the other annoying thing- the blue bar will run all the way, and it will say "delivered".  So I close out of imessage. When I reopen it again, the "delivered" has changed to "not delivered" with the red exclamation point.  I just googled "imessage not sending photos" and founds TONS of people with the same problem, but no solutions.  (I have rebooted phone, reset network settings, with no luck.  I even had to backup/delete/restore my whole phone the other day for a different reason, and hoped that would fix it, but now it won't send to my dad OR my husband (who is on not just the same carrier, but the same family plan as me)

  • How can I find an audio book on my 4th gen shuffle? Can't find it even when it's set to play in order. Tried setting it to Sync audiobooks but a warning says 'do you want to remove existing songs from other itunes library? and I don't want to do this.

    How can I find an audiobook on my 4th gen shuffle? Can't find it even when I play in order. When I try to tick Sync audiobooks it asks if I want to continue to remove existing music befoer syncing and I don't want to do that. Can anyone help?

    Did you already load the audiobook manually (by dragging it to the shuffle)?  To confirm that the audiobook is on the shuffle...
    Select the shuffle in the iTunes sidebar.  If the sidebar (along left side of window) is not visible, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.
    Click the small triangle to the left of the shuffle name (in the sidebar) to drop down its content list, indented below the shuffle.  Click on Audiobooks there.  To the right, your audiobook(s) should be listed.
    NOTE:  if you don't see Audiobooks on the content list, there are no audiobooks on the shuffle.
    When you turn ON the shuffle, you are playing from the default All Songs list.  Audiobooks (and podcasts) do not play from the All Songs list.  You need to use VoiceOver to select the audiobook from the playlist menu.  This document explains how to set up and use VoiceOver on your shuffle

  • I can't find the audio books transferred using OverDrive Media Console

    I have downloaded audiobooks using OverDrive Media. They are transferred to my Ipod nano but don't show up in "Audiobooks" .or anywhere else.

    Do they appear in iTunes?  They must, since you used iTunes to sync the items to your iPod nano...
    In iTunes, in what category (under LIBRARY in sidebar) do they appear?  If they do not appear under Books, find (and select) the items in your iTunes library (or on a playlist), wherever it is listed.  Do a Get Info on the item.  In the Info window, on the Options tab, make sure Media Kind is set to Audiobook.
    Make sure the items now appear in the Books category.  Try syncing them to your nano again.

  • Why can I not put an audio book on my iPhone 4S?

    I downloaded an audiobook, but when I sync my phone it will not give me the option to add it to my phone. It doesn't show up at all even after I created it's on playlist. The playlist doesn't show up either.

    Where did you download it from? What format is it in?

    I have had an icloud account for over a year and my photo stream only goes back to December 2014???

  • Can not find audio video file

    I created a dvd proj. burned it to a disc. all worked very well. I copied the dvd. proj file to an external drive. Now when i access file i get an error message that it can not find two files. C audio and C video files.
    Any suggestions?

    It created the DVD proj file ok and I could play it through dvd player and burned it to a disc. The problem occurred when I copied and pasted it to an external drive. When I open the dvd proj file on the external drive I get an error message that it can not find the audio and video file. It is looking for the file on the hard drive and not the external drive. i deleted the original dvd proj file on the hard drive.
