I need help transferring an audiobook from Overdrive to my ipod classic.

I've looked at all the previous posts and searched the internet for an answer.  Overdrive says the option to manually manage music must be enabled.  To do that you are supposed to go to the summary tab under devices in itunes and check that option.  The problem is that I don't have a summary tab under devices - I only have the option to sync my ipod or transfer purchases from it.  I've looked everywhere and cannot find an answer on how to get around this.  I have 8 audiobooks to download and no way to get them onto my ipod.  Help! 

Hi. This is along the same lines - but maybe easier, and possibly a stupid question! I imported all my photos from iPhoto on to my 8 gb Nano -- but what if I only want like 20 pictures on it and not all 500 from iphoto -- can I somehow go into the iPod and delete the individual photos without deleting them in iPhoto? (I have the same question regarding song on the iPod -- can I delete songs from my iPod without deleting them from iTunes on my computer?)
Thanks!

  • Need help transferring itunes library from old computer to new laptop

    Hello,
    I recently purchased a new laptop and am having trouble getting my library to transfer to my new laptop, i followed this step by step process http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1329?viewlocale=en_US and in the end ended up with no music on my ipod and no music in the itunes library on my new computer...
    So then i went into Itunes on the new computer and clicked import library under File, so i found the Music folder that i had transferred over and it imported the music but all my playlist were not there, just songs. So i ended up syncing my ipod back to my old computer so i would get all the songs and playlist back on as it was originally before this whole process...
    My desktop runs XP while my new laptop runs Vista Ultimate w/ SP1 home edition, dont know if this matters...
    So not sure where i should go from here, i have already Authorized my laptop with the itunes store , i was thinking of uninstalling Itunes on my laptop and starting over from scratch, will this help?
    BTW when i did the original transfer i used my Ipod as the hard drive as it had plenty of storage room left on it, i do have access to a 250GB external HD i was thinking of using that and trying that to transfer the library...
    So if anyone can tell me how to transfer my Itunes library from old comp to new laptop it would be greatly appreciated...

    The method you used should work if followed exactly.
    The key points are - is your music all together? It must all be in the iTunes Music folder in the iTunes folder.
    When you copy the iTunes folder to the iPod you get the library database with your playlists and the iTunes Music folder containing the music files.
    Since you had trouble doing this with the iPod, why not try copying your iTunes folder to the external drive.
    The method is identical the one for the iPod except you leave out the iPod specific stuff.
    You install iTunes on the new PC, then you drag the newly created iTunes folder out the Music folder to the desktop, then you copy the iTunes folder from the EHD into Music, replacing the one you dragged out.
    When you have done that, you need to check that your account has full control of your iTunes folder - Vista is fussy about that - you will not be able to edit track info if you don't have full control.
    Vista file folder permissions help

  • Need help transferring itunes library from old laptop to new laptop

    Can someone help me?? I have a new laptop and have installed itunes on it. How do I get my old library from my old laptop onto my new one? What about all my playlists?
    Thank you in anticipation!
    Lisa

    There should be one iTunes Folder that contains many iTunes folders underneath it. Copy that one to a memory stick (if it will fit), not the location you copied it from. Copy it to the same place on the new computer. iTunes should find and recognize it if it was in the default location. You just need to start iTunes on the new computer.
    Be sure on the old computer to start iTunes, go to the Store menu on top, and Deauthorise the old computer. On the new computer do the opposite, go to the Store menu and Authorise that computer. You will have to enter your Apple ID and password.

  • I need help transferring my music from my iPad 2 to my Macbook.  Just syncing the devices will wipe out my music on my iPad.

    Please help!  My macbook needed a new hard drive and all my music got wiped away.  No worries, it's all on my iPad 2.  But when I try to sync the devices it warns me that it will erase all my current music on my iPad - it seems like syncing only moves information from the macbook to the iPad, not the other way around.  But I need it to go from my iPad to my macbook.
    Can anyone help?

    "*Partly, I guess, I just figured if my songs were on one of my devices I could just transfer them back to my laptop"
    I told you this in my first response:
    " The only exception is itunes purchases:  File>Devices>Transfer Purchases."
    You may be able to purchase a 3rd party program to get other music.
    So is what you're saying that I'm basically screwed, that there's no way at all to move music from my iPad to my laptop?  That seems absurd if true.
    Really?  It is absurd not to maintain a backup copy of your computer.

  • Need help transferring iTunes library from desk top to lap top

    My iTunes is on our desktop (Windows XP if that matters) and I would like to transfer it to my laptop (Vista). Our desktop is old and will be replaced soon. I cannot back up the library to a CD because the CD burner no longer works. I purchased an external hard drive and attempted to do a back up but I don't think it worked...None of my music is purchased from the store...it's all from CD's I own and copied. I have not been able to find any help on the website, so I'm hoping someone here can help me out. I tried this back up by going to the library and clicked export library...it appeared to transfer...seems to be files on the external hard drive so I plugged it into the laptop and tried to import...but it doesn't appear anything happened...I'm getting pretty frustrated!

  • How do i sync purchased audiobooks from itunes to my ipod classic 80gb?

    I can see the purchased audiobooks in my itunes library, i have checked sync those audiobooks to my ipod, clicked apply, clicked sync and they are still not on my ipod

    Make a playlist or lists for all of your audiobooks, then in your iPod preferences, change to sync the iPod to only those specific audiobook playlists.

  • New mac user needs help transfering files from Dell...

    I have a Dell running Windows XP and need help transfering the files from the dell to the mac.
    Also I have no idea what OP system I have, how do you tell which one you have???

    Go to the blue Apple menu and scroll down to "About this Mac"
    In the summary window that opens you will find the following information:
    Mac OS X version (assuming you are running OS X)
    Processor speed.
    Memory
    Startup disk
    The More Info button will take you to an in-depth overview of hardware, network set-up and installed software.
    As far as transference is concerned, you can either transfer files via CD, DVD, external hard drive... or by networking the two computers.
    Here's a link for an overview concerning Mac to PC connectivity:

  • I need help transferring Bootcamp (Windows XP) from my old Macbook Pro to the new one. How do I make bootable clone of Bootcamp?

    Hi I just got a new MacBook Pro I need help transferring Bootcamp (Windows XP) from my old Macbook Pro to my new Macbook Pro  Mac OS X 10.7.4  2.6 Ghz Intel Core 17. How do I make bootable clone of Bootcamp?

    you can't just move XP even if you took the hard drive and have Windows boot and function.
    Apparently there are Windows tools to sanitize the OS and strip all the motherboard drivers and services.
    Time to get a supported OS. Don't want to pay, then use 8 for the time until it goes on sale.
    There are no drivers for even Vista on 2011 and later Macs.

  • I have trouble transferring audiobooks from Overdrive Media Console.

    I have trouble transferring audiobooks from Overdrive Media Console.  Sometimes the book does not transfer.  Sometimes it winds up in music.

    I agree that transferring audiobooks to an iPhone using Overdrive is very flaky.  My biggest issue now is that when I do a transfer, about every 3rd or 4th segment doesn't transfer successfully.  I have to go back and select those and transfer again and then they are out of order with no apparent way to put them in the correct order.  So when I start listening to the book, I have to closely monitor when I am at the end of a part so that I can manually select the next part.
    My latest transfer of a book with 14 parts placed 2 versions in Audiobooks with the order 5, 12, 1, 2, 3, 6, 8, 9, 10, 13, 14. (missing parts 4, 7, and 11)
    When I went back to Overdrive and selected parts 4, 7, and 11 to transfer, my iPhone then had a playlist with the book with the order 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 13, 14, 4, 7, 11.
    Crazy!!

  • Can no longer transfer audiobooks from overdrive to ipod nano 6

    Can no longer transfer audiobooks from overdrive to ipod nano 6. Diagnostics: Connectivity test-ipod found. Sync test -ipod not found. This problem began about 2 weeks ago. I downloaded itunes update 12.1.0.71 about 1 week ago. I'm on Windows 7.

    Do you mean a playlist created by Overdrive?
    I downloaded the newest version of ODM yesterday.  Couldn't do it from within the application, had to uninstall/reinstall it.  Here's what's happening now with WMA, which is my preferred format:
    -Instead of just moving the audiobook and cover graphic and all that over as in the past, now ODM creates a separate playlist under 'Books' in your device.  Problem is, only some (seemingly random) tracks go over there.  The others just show up under 'Books' but not in the specified playlist, so you have to drag them over in iTunes.
    -If you stop listening, it starts over from the beginning next time you're ready to resume, so if you expect to find your place again right away like in the good old days, think again.
    -For me the WORST PART is only so much data of that sort is permitted under 'Books' so it seems, because after a certain threshold the transferred parts of books become greyed out and cannot be played.  You are limited to far less data in a period of time than previously.  I used to be able to keep several books on my device at once and listen to multiple things depending on my mood etc.  Now I can fit about 2-3 big books, or 4-6 smaller ones, MUCH less than previously was possible, which is a problem if you've waited for a popular title at the library that you don't have the room for (even though you have plenty of memory in the device).
    All in all, I think ODM need to get their act together.  We should not allow them to think they are done with this upgrade, the fixes might be okay for temporary, but they are unacceptable for a permanent format.  They have a phone number on their website.  I left a message.  Others have been tweeting them too, not sure of the contact info.
    Good luck everyone.  Post back here if you find something out.

  • Is It Possible to Transfer an Audiobook from Overdrive to An iTunes Library?

    I have had no problems transfering audiobooks from Overdrive Media Console for Windows to my iPod Nano 5th Ge connnected to iTunes.  However, I cannot figure out whether I can transfer the audiobooks to an iTunes audiobooks library so I can listen to them using iTunes.  I have not even been able to figure out how to create an iTunes audiobooks library.
    1.  Is it possible to listen to audiobooks downloaded to Overdrive using iTunes?  If so, how?
    2.  How do you create an iTunes audiobooks library in the iTunes Media folder?
    3.  Are there any free sample audiobooks in the iTunes Store? That should automatically create an audiobooks library in the iTunes Media folder.

    Hi mates,
                    In case if you want to use the same app into different iphone. For example you have viber, whats app in your device 1 and you want to have this applications in device 2. You can sync an applications to itunes from device 1 and those apps will be saved in an itunes, even if you disconnect USB from laptop-phone.Connect you device 2 to itunes and syn your selected applications. It will come that way.
    Device 1: Iphone
    Device 2: Iphone
    For an understanding i have named as device 1&2.
