Thanks to all that help.

When iTunes open check General preferences under iTunes on the menu bar to see if the category Books is checked.

Can you please help with importing CDs and audio books?

I tried to search for this topic, but had no luck.
Have been happy with IPOD until today. On trying to import a new audio book to iTunes and then updating IPOD to install on it, I can see the title in both the iTunes Library and menu of IPOD. However, instead of seeing a normal 57:32 (or similar stop time), I am seeing 789:57:13.152. When I try to play it through iTunes or IPOD, it skips it as if it wasn't there and plays something else. I checked out importing a music CD, and find the same problem.
Appreciate any advice you can give.

let's first see if you can get the CDs to import normally if you switch off "error correction" in the iTunes Advanced-Importing preferences subtab.
but if no joy there, try checking through the other suggestions from the following document:

... and these resources might be helpful with that:

How to put audio book under the audio book folder int he ipod nano

I am having trouble putting my audio book under the audio book folder in the ipod nano.

Can someone show me how to fix this?

Hello Clifforce,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
There are two things you could do here. First, change the *Media Type* of the audiobook tracks in iTunes to "Audiobook" via the "Get Info" screen under the Options tab.
Under this same tab, you could also tick the "Skip when Shuffling" option for these tracks. When you have finished, sync the updated changes to your iPod.

Loaded an audio book into music folder, can I put it into audio book folder

Loaded an audio book into music folder, can I put it into audio book folder

The answer from Zevoneer is only partially correct. *THERE IS A GLITCH IN iTUNES PROGRAMMING* that will make your book impossible to listen to if you change it from Music mode to Audio book mode through Options "Media Kind". This is what happens. Under iTunes Preferences, under Advanced, there is a box that says "Keep iTunes Music folder organized". When checked, this "Places files into album and artist folders, and names the files based on the disc number, track number, and the song title." So when you keep a book in the Music section, it stays organized.
HOWEVER, if you change that book to "Audio book" mode, all those files get mixed up. The "Audio book" section does not list Disc numbers (equivalent to Albums); it ONLY lists tracks. If a book has tracks labeled, for instance "The Bell Jar 2a", "The Bell Jar 2b" etc., then the book will play correctly. BUT if the book has cuts labeled "Track 1", Track 2", etc. then you will end up listening to Disc 1, Track 1 followed by Disc 2, Track 1, etc.. In other words, the books tracks end up completely jumbled, not a great way to follow a story! *APPLE, YOU NEED TO FIX THIS!!!* Asking us to label each track separately is inefficient and silly, when all you need to do is to get iTunes to recognize the Disc numbers, just as it does in Music mode.

I imported a CD audio book into iTunes 11, searching says its there, but I cannot find it. It does appear in my iTunes music folder.

Using Audiobook builder I imported an audiobook CD into iTunes 11. I can see it in my iTunes music folder on the hard drive, searching in iTunes 11 says its there, but in either the albums or list, it does not appear. I have successfully imported many CDs using Audiobook Builder before, but with this particulary book I have this problem.
Any ideas anyone ?

The missing file thing happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
At guess you've used a different profile name. Files inside the media folder have survied the transfer, but those outside are expected to be on the same absolute file paths, but no longer are.
Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes.

Audio Book Folder

I accidentally deleted my AudioBook folder on the main menu of my ipod. Is there anyway to get it back besides just creating a playlist titled AudioBooks?
Thank you

When I go to setting-audiobooks, slower normal and faster just come up not On or Off. If anyone knows how to fix this please reply!!

Changes to audio book import / general iPod accessibility

I find it really frustrating that I had to pay for 3rd party software to be able to easily put CDs of audio books into the Audio Books folder of iTunes and my iPod. Why doesn't Apple address this issue in their next iTunes update?

PS. Are there any products that would make an iPod more accessible to visually impaired people, perhaps by speaking the names of albums etc as you scroll down?

Importing Addresses in Address book from text file

Hello all,
I am attempting to import my address books from Microsoft Outlook into the Address book on the Macintosh.
More specifically, I have several distribution lists under Outlook that I use to send out various newsletters from where I work. These distribution lists have addresses that are specifically NOT within my Contacts under Outlook.
So far, I HAVE been able to get the 400 email addresses exported into a plain text file. This text file has only the email addresses, one per line within the text document.
The problem I have been having is finding some way to make this information "useful" for the address book program. Attempting to import the text file doesn't work (understandably, since I assume the program will only see the text document as "one" card.)
So my question is, how can I import these 400 addresses into the address book under a specific grouping or distribution list? Is there some way I can create individual vcards for EACH of these addresses, THEN import them?
Or am I doing things all wrong from the get-go, and need to attempt something else?
Here' hoping you can help!!
Thanks

Here's instructions. I find it hard to believe that this much work is required, but I'm not at home and so I can't experiment with my Mac.
<http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20050828200319417&lsrc=osxh>
I was thinking that you might just want to drag contacts from Outlook to a folder in Windows -- all the contacts get exported to individual "cards" which I'm pretty sure you can import directly into Address Book.
As for your distribution lists -- I wouldn't be surprised if Mac OS requires everyone on the list to appear in Address Book. If you try creating a list manually, can you include recipients that don't go in Address Book?

Audio books and no shuffle

Couple of easy how to use questions:
1: My iPod has more podcast and audio book then music. Problem is when I drag an audio book to the iPod it thinks it's music and I get random chapters when listion to the "shuffle songs" feature. Isn't there a way to mark an file to not be included in the shuffle songs?
2: When listioning to my audio books I have a hard time listioning to each champter in order. How do I listion to an artist in order and still keep my music shuffled?
3: When I upgraded iTunes 7.0.2 I noticed it added an audio book folder to my iTune and my iPod, but I can't drag anything to that folder.
4: Is there a way to re-order the menus on my iPod? I really think the podcast section should be on the first menu, NOT under the music section.
If anybody and answer one or all I'd be most gratful. Thanks.

10 after 1 is because of the sorting used. Change the 1 through 9 to be 01, 02, 03.

Audio books not appearing in iPod list

I have an 80gb 5g.
I recently purchased an audio book from iTunes and downloaded to my library. The book appears in the directory tree list under audiobooks and when I sync the ipod the audiobook item is also in the directory tree under "Devices".
However the Audiobook tab does not appear in the Summary on the RH window in iTunes and does not appear on the iPod as a heading "Audiobooks" To access the audiobook I have to scroll down the "artists" list - I find this rather strange.
Anyone having the same problem - or am I missing something?

I will go look to see if my audio book shows up like yours did.
My issue sounds similar. I bought a book from itunes and downloaded it. I can listen to it on my laptop without an issue. When I move it to my 30G Video Ipod, it shows up in the AudioBook folder when I view that folder via the computer. However, when I disconnect the Ipod from the laptop, the audio book does not appear in the audio book folder.

How to put BBC audio book CDs in to the Audiobook category

I have inherited a 3rd generation iPod from my Dad who recently passed away. I have a lot of audio books on CD (BBC Radio 4 productions) that I have put onto my iPod, but despite many attempts, I can't make the imported audio books appear in the audio books category. I have a lot of audio books as I have a disability and can't hold a book, so if you could tell me how to import CDs as audio books, I'd be extremely grateful - and happy!
Thanks!

How can I transfer mp3 audio books to SE c510 via (Media Go)?

First of all, I converted the audio book .mp3 file to .m4b, then went to Media Go and transferred the converted file with that program. Then, I unplugged the phone from my PC and went to Media---Music---Audio Books in my c510, but there was no audio book added. Also tried to turn the audio book on via "File Manager", and I noticed that the Media Go program had converted the file to .aac , so I when I had tried to play the file, got a message "Playback failed".
Can anyone tell me where I do wrong , how to transfer that kind of files to my mobile properly?! Thanks in advance!

I was researching the software and I see that you only have two audio file type options: mp3 and AAC.
If you want to transfer m4b, then you will need to just to it using My Computer, selecting the Phone Card (which has its own drive letter) and then put them in the Audio books folder.
You can change the default file type that MediaGo transfers from AAC to mp3 (if the original file type is fine with you) by selecting Tools > Preferences > Devices > highlight the device and select Properties and then in Media Format you have the option to change the type of file that will be transferred.

Playing Audio Books On My Video iPod

I have a new 80 gig video ipod. I puchased an audio book from iTunes. The book downloaded to my computer just fine and I can play the book on my computer. File is located in the Audio Book folder and is in the M4B format.
The book is on my iPod, located in the Audio Book folder. When I select the file to play, it shows that it is playing for about 3 seconds and then goes back to the main menu. It never starts playng.
Further, whenever I sync my computer and iPod, the play count keeps going up. It now says that I have played the file over 30 times when in fact, I haven't heard one word of it.
I hope someone can help.

I posted about this problem yesterday as I was having the same problem. I contacted iTunes customer service using their email form on that page. I heard back from them in about 10 hours. They authorized me to download the book again. It plays like a charm now.
Apple has superb customer service. I was treated with courtesy and promptly each time I contacted them about this problem and a couple of more issues that were my stupidity.
I'm very pleased with Apple! !
