IPhone 6 won't download audio books

I recently bought an audio book for $29.00 and can't download it to my new iPhone 6. I've tried syncing, un-syncing, disconnecting and re-syncing, but no luck. When I sync my iTunes with the audio books selected to download, I can see a Shared menu in my Music app under the ...More menu, but not an Audio Books menu. When I share with my PC, I can then see the Audio Books menu and listen to the books, but I can't take my PC with me so not much use. Please help!! Thank you.

I have iTunes 12.0.1.26 / Yosemite 10.10.1 / iPhone 6 with iOS8.1.2 so I am as up to date with software as possible - but I STILL can't get the audiobooks purchased from iTunes to download onto iPhone 6! The menu option 'More' which used to show Audiobooks doesn't - only Genres, Compilations and Composers - and I can only see audiobooks I purchased from Audible in the Audible app. Audiobooks from iTunes have vanished.......
I guess I will just have to give my business to Audible.......

I have an apple iphone 4 that I want to download audio books from my library onto it. I cannot figure out how to do that. The iphone does not show up on my mac laptop as a connected device. Does this kind of download have to run through itunes? Thanks

Yes it is done through iTunes. The iPhone will never show up in Finder as a device. The following is general information on iTunes sync: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1386 and the following is a previous discussion where the post by Andreas Junge helped others that had a problem syncing audiobooks: https://discussions.apple.com/message/20052732#20052732

Downloaded audio book to my iphone does not appear in my itunes library and i cannot update iOS without transfering it to library

You should be able to copy it over to your computer's iTunes via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases.
Audiobooks are a one-time only download from the store, so you may want to take a backup copy of it when you've copied it over to your computer

Correct.
You would have to transfer it to your computer from your ipad, then sync it to your iphone.

I downloaded audio books from overdrive media and my ipod nano 6th generation showed it was transferring why can't I find the audio books on my ipod?

I downloaded audio books from overdrive media and my ipod nano 6th generation showed it was transferring and now I can't find it on my Ipod where would it be?

The problem may have been in how you transfered it. You didn't go into much detail. Just be sure to follow the steps in the tutorial below. Note Paragraph 5.
Many libraries worldwide now use Overdrive Media Console, which comes in Mac an Windows versions http://www.overdrive.com/Software/omc . Some find the mobile device transfer process confusing. To load or delete a WMA or MP3 (Macs can only download MP3 books) audiobook onto an Apple mobile device see the "How to Transfer to a Portable Device" video in the guides at Step 7, then do the following.
1. For Windows versions, you must first do a security update of Windows Media Player (even though you won't be using it) using Internet Explorer at http://drmlicense.one.microsoft.com/indivsite .
2. Open iTunes, plug the mobile device into the computer USB port and open the Overdrive Media Console.
3. Highlight the mobile device in the left hand menu of iTunes and insure the "Manually manage music and videos" box is checked in the Summary Tab. If the mobile device storage is full, transfering will delete that portion of music necessary for the ebook.
4. Highlight the book you want to transfer in the Overdrive Media Console and click the Transfer Button. A window opens permitting you to click the boxes for parts of the book you wish to transfer.
5. After the book has been transfered, when you click the disclosure triangle (arrow) to the left of the iPod, iPhone, or iPad in the Device section of the left hand menu of iTunes, MP3 books will show up under the Music subsection and WMA books will show up in the Books subsection. Once the mobile device is disconnected from iTunes, MP3 books will show up in the Songs list of the mobile device and WMA books will show up in the Books list.
6. To remove a book from a mobile device plug the device into the USB port and open iTunes. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of your iPod, iPhone, or iPad in the Device section of the left hand menu of iTunes so that you can see the device’s subcontents. For an MP3 book select the Music subsection, right click on the book and choose Delete. For a WMA book, select the Book subsection, right click on the book and choose Delete.
7. The Overdrive Media Console Guided Tour (videos) is at http://www.overdrive.com/Solutions/Libraries/tour/MenuWelcome.html . The "Portable Devices" and "How to Transfer to a Portable Device" videos are there.
8. To find a nearby library for ebooks search http://search.overdrive.com . You can download the software, search for books and see tutorials without an account at the website of any library that uses Overdrive, however, you need a library card to download books. At this library site, for example, the software and guided tour are at the bottom of the left hand menu.

HT2673 error in downloading audio book from itunes

I downloaded audio book but it will not play stating a message that my iphone is not connected to internet which it is connected

Hello Bobejoe,
You will want to change the file type to Audiobook for each audio book track in iTunes. To do this, locate the tracks you wish to change the *Media Type* for. Then right->click on each of those tracks and choose "Get Info" from the shortcut menu. From there, head over to the Options tab. There is a section labeled *Media Type* with a drop down box next to it. Go ahead and choose Audiobook, and then sync the updated changes to your iPod.
That should do the trick for you.

HT4528 How do I recover my calendar events? How about downloading audio books?

Since the latest iOS 7 upgrade, I HATE my iPhone! I was able to recover my contacts. I was not able to recover my calendar events.
How do I recover my calendar events?
I have an appointment tomorrow & can't remember necessary info!
How about downloading audio books?
I am not able to download an audio book, which I have done for a very long time w/o issues. Have any suggestions?

When I synced, & recovered the contacts, the calendar recovered events (as current) that I had deleted last winter.
I check out audiobooks from the local library & download them using OneClickDigital Media Manager. It goes thorugh iTunes to get the book onto my phone. It shows up pale in iTunes (All other items are in bold print.) & the book does not show up on my phone at all.

Downloading Audio Book Purchase Through iCloud

I do not see any instructions for downloading audio book purchases to my iPad or iPhone via iCloud. Audio Book downloads through iBooks is not an option. I would appreciates some instructions as I switched exclusively to iCloud.

"I do not see any instructions for downloading audio book purchases to my iPad or iPhone via iCloud."
Correct. That is because audiobooks are not in icloud at all. The audiobook industry does not allow this.
Audiobooks cannot be redownloaded.
You must sync them.

I've downloaded audio books successfully to my iPod, but they don't show up on my iTunes.. and I want to delete some.

I've successfully downloaded audio books to my iPod for years but now they don't show up on iTunes, not under Music, not under books or Audiobooks - nowhere!
And I want to delete some...

Hello, mimi2216.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
This could be a result of Automatic Downloads not being enabled, the apps were too large to download via the cellular data network or a cellular data connection was not available at the time of download. The best option would be to download the missing apps via the steps in the second article below.

HT3951 When I download audio books from the library why can't Isee the files in itunes. All of the chapters do not transfer.

When I download audio books from the library I can't find them in my itunes files. All of the chapters do not transfer to my itouch even though they all were downloaded.

I finally figured it out! On the book page of itunes I went to preferences and then import settings and changed the settings from aac to mp3 and when I went back to the page there was my itouch and clicked on it and then books and there were all my books and files! deleted 3 chapters that were greyed out and transfered them again and it worked. Thank you for your help.

HT1689 Does anyone have experience downloading audio books while in Europe from a U.S. account?

Does anyone have experience downloading audio books in Europe using a U.S. account?

The terms of the iTunes Store state that you agree not to use or even attempt to use the US iTunes Store from outside the US. Sorry, then, but we cannot discuss that issue here.
Regards.
