Iphone audio books

Hi i have just got my Iphone and i see there is a problem with audiobooks that last longer than 13 hours.
When a play a book that is over approx 13 hours at some point approx 13 hours 15 mis the ipod just returns to the start of the book.
Is this a problem with myphone or is this just something the ipod will not cope with

  • HT4528 iPhone audio book problem

    How do I remove audiobooks from my iphone but not from my itunes account? My phone ran out of storage but I do not want to loose the books since i purchased them.  I know it is probably easy but the new itunes is not as user friendly!

    You can try to Restore the iPhone with iTunes on computer. See if better. If still problem, and there is Warranty or AppleCare, make Genius reservation and take iPhone to Apple for resolution. If no coverage, Apple does not repair the Audio components of the iPhone 4S, for $199 they will offer perfect replacement iPhone 4S exactly like yours with 90 day Warranty too.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • IPhone 5 works fine with incoming calls and audio books but no one can hear me talk.

    I have an add-on blue tooth system in my older Prius and it worked perfectly for a couple of years.  I can still receive phone calls and listen to audio books through my radio speakers but all of a sudden my callers could no longer hear my voice so I have to switch the phone audio source to iPhone so they can hear me.  This happened when I had the iPhone 4 and has continued with the iPhone 5.  Any suggestions on how to fix this?

    Hi, Did you test to see if after 2 or 3 mins the phone started working correctly? mine does then it will work for a day or 2 on every call then I have to do the same thing again.

  • HT201269 I can't download my purchased Audio books to my iPhone 5S. Why not?

    I upgraded to the iPhone 5S from 3G and after uploading files, apps and photos I noticed that not all my songs were uploaded and neither were any of my audio books. I clicked on the iTunes app and clicked on the MORE icon where the number 214 is in red. When I click, it shows 214 downloads, none are my audio books. WHen I click on song title it acts like its going to begin download and then I get error message: Unable to Dowload Song - could not be downloaded at this time. I hit the retry button and get the same error message. I cannot find and evidence at all on my iPhone that I have any Audio books that I have purchased through iTunes, and they show records of it. I can't get them to download if there is no reference point.

    I have just had the same issue as "wagtribe".
    I purchased a audio book for an 83-year-old relative that I'm nursing who is loosing her eyesight and bodily functions in what is now expected to be the last week of her life.
    I made the purchase on my 6-Plus synced to one iMac and fully expected it to be available to my iPad mini synced on my second iMac which are all synced to the same iTunes account so that I could leave it in the room with Auntie. Guess what, audio books are not transferable and Apple slugged me twice for the same book just so the old dear could have an audio book from Apple. Apple, I understand you have legal issues with publishers, but as we Australian's would say "Fair go Mate!" Apple can do better, as amply demonstrated with other iTunes file types.

  • My audio books that were bought through Itunes on my Iphone do not show up on my Itunes account.

    I bought audio books on my iphone, but they do not show up on my itunes account on my computer.  The books I purchased through the computer show up on my itunes account.  My phone is at it's max and I need to remove these books, but do not want to lose them.  Thank you for your assistance.

    This isn't completely coherent so I am not sure what is wrong other than some (al?) of your tracks have broken links.
    If you are browsing through iTunes you are not looking at files you are looking at data entries that point to files, with those locations being incorrect right now. 
    There isn't a file called iTunes media, there is a folder that should be in your iTunes folder called that.
    You mention something about external drives. I presume one is for your Time Machine backup but is the other one used for iTunes?  If so, what do you keep there?
    Here's some background information to help place this in context:

  • Hi, I have purchased an audio book on iTunes from an iMac and it does not show up on the cloud so I can't download it on my iPhone. Does anyone know why and how I can proceed to transfer the audio book purchase?

    Hi
    I have purchased an audio book from iTunes with my iMac.
    Now I wanted to listen to it on my iPhone so I proceeded to transfer the purchase and looked for the book in the purchased section of the store in the iTunes on my iPhone but it did not show up.
    Does anyone know why and how I can transfer the audio book purchased on my iPhone so I can listen while away from the desk?
    Thank you,
    Sanya

    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.

    If it's an Audiobook, then it's probably in the Audiobook section of your iPhone. Have you set your iTunes to Sync Audiobooks with your iPhone?
    Alternatively, if the Audiobook was imported into your iTunes Library as as Music, then it's going to be in the Music section of your iPhone. If so, then it will be in the Music section of your iTunes Library. To move it to the Audiobooks section, select it in the Library and choose File/Get Info/Options>Media Kind where you can change it.
    You can change it to a Podcast, but since something is only a Podcast if it is delivered to your iTunes as a Podcast download (which is a process for delivering files without you having to go and find them), then your audiobook is not a Podcast and you may forget (in the future) how you obtained the book in the first place

  • How do I sync an audio book in itunes with my iphone

    I downloaded an audio book from Amazon/Audible and it is currently in my itunes library.  When I try to sync with my iphone, I am unable to find my list of audiobooks for purposes of syncing.  When I am in the Sync function in itunes, I see music, video, books, etc. but no selection for audiobooks (Note, the Books selection is only for electronic copies of print books).    Where do I find audiobooks for purposes of syncing?

    With your phone connected, iTunes running, click on the "Book" tab, scroll all the way down, is sync audiobooks checked? If not, put a check in the box.

  • Audio books will not sync from itunes to iphone

    I have four audio books on ITunes that at one time were synced to Iphone.  Now they are not on the phone and I can not sync from Itunes, even though they are in Itunes as a purchase.  I have gone to book and audiobooks and checked sync all on both.
    thanks.

    Thank you very much, that worked.  I learned something as I never tryied to right click on my phone in Itunes before.
    Thanks again.

  • HT201272 I purchased an audiobook in Nov 2012 using iPhone 4S and then upgraded to iPhone 5 in Dec. Now I am not seeing the audio book in purchase history in iTunes. This means I am not able to get the book in my new iPhone. Please help

    Audiobooks are currently a one-time only download from the store. If you don't have it on your computer (audiobooks go into the Books part of your iTunes library) nor on a backup, then if it's still in the store you can try contacting iTunes support and see if they will grant you a re-download : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

  • I'm having some trouble transferring audio books to my iPhone.  It usually takes 3 or 4 tries to get all the parts transferred.  I didn't use to have this problem - all parts would transfer in one try.

  • From my PC how can I see what is stored in my cloud?  Reason is I want to move an audio books from my Ipad to Iphone.  I am new to the Apple products.

    I am new to apple products.  Have a Window 7 PC, I phone 4s and Ipad .  I want to move an audio book purcahsed on the Ipad to my I phone so I signed up for the cloud because it said what I described above would be possible.  How do I do it?  Also, how can I see exactly what is in "my Cloud" and selectively downloard the bits and pieces of what is in m cloud to a particular device.    Thanks in advance to anyone and everyone.

    Thanks pvonk, I will try downloanding the book from the Iphone right now.......
    Just tried to download and it wants me to buy it again?  Is there some way around this?  I guess I thought that was the whole point of the cloud, buy it once and access from any of your devices right?
    Also, I have logged into the icloud.com as suggested and will plink around there for a bit and try to understand.  It is just all so dang different that what I am used to; Apple's way, that is.
    Thanks again for the Icloud tip and if you know of a way to download without making a 2nd purchase I would sure love to hear it!
    Geez. one other thing (I guess I am complaining) but I bought more space in the cloud, they took my cash fast enough but have not yet increase the size of my storage space yet?  Is Apple sometimes slow to get internal stuff done?

  • After I updated my iPhone 5 to iOS7 I can no longer see the individual chapters when playing my audio books.  Also I can't edit and copy multiple text messages.

    After I updated my iPhone 5 to iOS7 I can no longer see the individual chapters when playing my audio books.  Also I can no longer edit a and copy multiple text messages like before. Is there a way to do these things I am missing?

    Not only can i not see the individual chaptes -- apparently like you and everyone else suffering through the "improved" iOS7 -- when my audiobook repeats a "file" within  chapter, which it sometimes does, I cannot get "inside" the chapter and move forward to where I'm supposed to be.
    Whatever happened to "if it ain broke.......???
