Import audio book to itunes but it won't sync to my ipod

I am at a complete loss. I have been importing audio books from the public library to itunes and then putting them on my ipod for months. All of a sudden the books won't sync to my ipod. Songs work ok, but my audio books don't. The little sync icon spins and the itunes screen says it is updating but it only lasts for a few seconds and the book is not on my ipod. I have done everything I can think of including restoring my ipod back to the original settings which lost everything. I don't know what else to do.

Might you find the answer here?

HT1386 The SD version of my tv download didnt sync & I have an iPod. I can play it in iTunes but it won't sync with my iPod. I've never had this problem before, the other tv episodes have worked/downloaded both versions fine. How do I fix this?

I purchased several new audio books from iTunes and they will not download to my iPad so I can listen to them How can this be?

Hello Rex225
The best way to resolve the issue is to remove the music from the iPhone and then download the purchase again using the steps in the following article.

I purchased audio books from itunes and it does not sync to my ipod classic

After trying to sync a bunch of times I unchecked the sync books under my device and now its not there to check again; How do I get that back also?

Yes it can. You can configure your iPod to sync audiobooks from under it's Audiobooks tabs in iTunes. If you want to manually add your audiobooks, you'll need to have your iPod set up for manual management by enabling the Manually manage music and videos option from under your iPod's Summary tab in iTunes.
Here is more information on manually managing your iPod's contents.

Did you copy your actual iTunes content from your computer before reinstalling iTunes, or did you just copy your iTunes library which only contains the pointers to your songs / books locations ?
You might, depending upon your country and if they are still in your country's store, be able to redownload your music purchases and your ibooks via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage - you will need to delete the entries from your library (where you are getting the 'unable to locate' messages) before they will potentially show with the cloud icon against them in Purchased for redownloading.
Or copy them from your backup of your downloads/library and add them to your iTunes library via File > Add To Library

I purchased a book on itunes but it won't allow me to download the book on my ipad. It allowed me to download the book on my computer, but I don't know how to transfer it from the computer to the ipad. Can anyone help me?

You should be able to re download the book on your iPad.
Try here > Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
On your iPad tap Settings > iTunes & App Store
Swipe down and make sure Books is switched ON.
Purchased books should appear when tapping the iBooks icon now.

I was gifted 2 audio books in iTunes, but they are no longer in my library. Have I lost those books?

Audio books cannot be redownloaded from the store like other iTunes purchases, see:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
How did you migrate the iTunes library from your old computer? Do you still have the old computer or a backup of the old computer? Then look for them in the iTunes Library there.
Any Audio book you have should be in your iTunes Library in the folder
~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music/Audiobooks/
or whereever you have your iTunes library installed

I had some time finally figuring why I could buy and download from the Itunes store, but could not load it on my IPOD. What finally worked was plugging my IPOD in to the computer, as I would when "syncing", and, after loading, it would show my device in the side bar. You have to go to VIEW in the top Tool Bar and click on SHOW SIDE BAR in the drop down menu. "SUMMARY' tab, on top, is what I clicked on to show an option of restoring my IPOD to the factory defaults. It erases everything on the IPOD, but gives an option of AUTOFILL afterwards, which it does from the computer. This is one solution of many you could try. Good luck.

I was refering to the "sample rate", normally 44.1 KHz, the iPod might not be able to play tracks with a non-standard rate. Otherwise I'm not sure what the issue might be.

I've just purchased my very first audiobook from itunes as I'm driving from the midlands to Newcastle this afternoon. I thought a book would make the journey more manageable. But now I can't find how to pay the book back! I can see it in my itunes library and play in on my computer, but not on my device (which I have synced since making the purchase). Can anyone tell me where my audiobook is hiding please? Thanks

Can you find the audio book by using the Search feature on the iPod?
Do you have the right boxes checked to sync the audio book to the iPod?
iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod
Note you have to check the boxes in Books pane for the iPod in iTunes to sync books in general and another box to sync Audio Books.
