Ipod Classic audiobook trouble

Ok, so in an effort to separate my books from my music I have spent weeks (I have a lot of audiobooks) combining my multiple track books into one file for each book. So now, they show up in the audiobooks section of my ipod in alphabetical order by album title (book title at this point). I started listening to one book, and noticed when it finished that it automatically began the next book in alphabetical sequence. Why would it do that?
And, problem number 2. I have one book that has a bookmark of some sort in it and the ipod will not let me fast forward past that point. I can play past that point, but not fast forward. Everytime I let off the fast forward button it automatically goes back to that bookmark spot. I don't SEE anything a bookmark, but something is there that prevents fast forward.
Any ideas?

Ipod Classic audiobook settings

I have placed audiobooks onto my Ipod Classic 160G, I have managed to put into one long book on my Itunes but not on my ipod. It shows each track seperate (and theres roughly 500 tracks per book) and wont skip onto the next one no matter not if I turn the autoreply off.
Can anyone tell me how I can get my Ipod to recognise the chapters as one book?
Also how can I get my Ipod to play the chapters one after another?
I would like anyhelp I can get with this.

Obviously there is actually NO WAY to use the section "audiobooks" for more then ONE audiobook. And this have to have only one file... I know that ***!
The only work around is like this:
create in iTunes for every single Audiobook a seperate playlist. Put the according book into this list and sync the lists to your classic. So do I at the moment also. There the iPod also will sort all tracks by name. I recommend to reassign the Tracknames like "001 - [name of book]", "002 - [Name of Book]" aso. So you make sure that your book will be played in the correct sequence.
I hope apple will fix this section by taking a look at the way the iPhone and iPod Touch is handling the audiobooks. there every book is shown as seperate album. Until this, the workaround is the only way to listen to your audiobooks...

IPod classic audiobook organization?

I recently added an audiobook from my computer. It is organized by chapter in my iTunes, but when it is synced to my iPod Classic 160 GB, the chapters are reorganized by alphabetical order. How can I organize the chapters quickly and efficiently?

IPod classic having trouble to eject.

I plugged my iPod classic into my mac and it finished syncin my music and i clicked eject, but it wont work and says it contains files that are in use by another application, someone help please!

If song files are being used by another application, then it is possible to see that message.
Are you, or were you, modifying songs in another programme such as Garageband or Audacity? On a Windows PC, anti-virus software checking the music files can cause this issue, but I don't know how this works on a Mac.
In the end, you should be able to turn off the computer and once turned off, you simply disconnect the iPod from the computer, because at that time, no prgrammes are using the iPod , including iTunes.

Ipod classic photo troubles

I have an 80g iPod classic, and am using a spanking new macbook 13". up until now, everything worked fine, but then I noticed that whenever I plugged my iPod in, it synced ALL of my photos again and again. When I looked, the photos were not on the iPod when it was disconnected. After investigating further, I've found that not all of my iCal calendars are being synced either. I've checked the options in iTunes and they're all set to all sync. Can anyone help?

I have a new 120gb iPod Classic, and only 2 of my iCal calendars sync...At first, they would all sync if I re-synced the calendars, but not anymore. They are not in folders either. All my photos seem to sync with the iPod

HT4623 Trouble transferring audiobook from my computer to my ipod classic.

Okay. I puchased an audiobook. It will not transfer to my ipod classic. When I connect my ipod the message tells me that my device is up to date. I tried to deauthorize and reauthorize my computer. Still won't transfer. The sync command scares me. If I use that the meeage says that it will erase everything. Help.

Podcast & Audiobook Playback Options on iPod Classic?

I recently got a new iPod Classic (7th Gen) as an anniversary gift, but I've been having trouble with how it handles Podcasts & Audiobooks - the iPod I used to have was a couple of generations older (I think 5th Gen?). Basically the two biggest issues I have are:
1. Podcasts - the older iPod used to play just a single episode, and then exit back to the main menu once the episode was over (unless I queued several episodes together in a playlist). The new iPods treat podcasts like an album, and continue playing the next track. This wouldn't be an issue, except that podcasts are sorted in newest -> oldest order, such that it will play Episode 13, then move on to the next track which is Episode 12, and I have to stop it, go back to the menu, and select Episode 14. Is there any way to get the order to sort ascending (changing it in iTunes didn't appear to affect the order on the iPod at all)? Or at least an option to play only one episode at a time and not automatically cycle through them?
2. Audiobooks - I classified my audiobooks into various genres such as "Classics", "Fantasy", "SciFi", etc. in iTunes, and on the old iPod, these genres would show up under Music->Genres in the iPod menu (alongside Rock, Pop, etc.). This appears to no longer be the case. Similarly, audiobook authors no longer appear in the list of Artists and audiobook titles no longer show under Albums. It appears the only way to access audiobooks now is through the
Music->Audiobooks menu? And unfortunately it appears as though the Audiobooks menu only lists individual track names, and not Artist or Album? To make matters worse, the track names are being sorted alphabetically and ignoring the Disc # & Track # metadata stored in iTunes. Is there any way to fix any of this?
Any help would be appreciated! I've poked around in the settings both on the iPod itself and in iTunes with the iPod connected, but I haven't found a way to correct any of these issues yet.

I've found a workaround for this problem: the Join Together v5.1 iTunes script from Doug's AppleScripts combine the segments into two large AAC files.
Now it's OK if the iPod stops playing segments after they finish because they're hours long instead of minutes.

IPod Classic and AudioBooks

Can I download AudioBooks to my IPOD Classic as you would a song?

With iTunes 8 and above you have the option to tell iTunes to treat any audio file as an audiobook. Simply select the tracks, *Get Info.*, then on the options tab set *Media kind* to Audiobook. You can also set options to *Remember playback position* and *Skip when shuffling*.
Assuming, however, that the books consist of more than one file you may have problems if you plan to listen to them on an iPod. The Audiobooks feature was originally designed for books that have been stitched up into a single file and hasn't been updated to reflect the changes that now make multi-track audiobooks easy to work with in iTunes. The main issue is that the iPod lists all audiobook files by track title/chapter name so unless you rename every track using a scheme such as *Book Title, Chapter XX* the tracks will play out of sequence. There are tools for creating iPod-friendly audiobooks for which Aldo on Audiobooks is probably the best reference. Personally I don't bother with the extra effort and just have an "Audiobooks" playlist folder containing sub-folders for each author and within these playlists for each audiobook. Although I still mark the files as Audiobooks to keep them out of my main music section when it comes to the iPod I ignore it's Audiobooks feature and use my own playlists for access.
Note that I've used leading digits in the playlist names to arrange these in chronological rather than alphabetical order.

N.b. If you're having trouble organising audiobooks within iTunes see my previous post on Grouping Tracks Into Albums, in particular the topic One cover for multi-disc album.

Audiobook chapters no longer grouped by book on iPod classic

My new iPod classic arrived today. When I synced it to iTunes 7.4.2 I found that the contents of the Audiobooks category were no longer grouped by title. Instead, all of the files were simply alphabetically sorted. So all of the "Chapter 1"s from all of the books appear together in the list. And they play back that way, too—going from Book A's Chapter 1 to Book B's. This basically makes it impossible to listen to an audiobook.
Also, "Audiobooks" no longer appears in the list of Genres, though it did on my old iPod.
All of my audiobooks are .m4b files and show up in the Audiobooks category (not in the Audiobooks genre under Music) in iTunes.
Has anyone else seen this? Any idea what's going on?

See the first section of Corrupt iPod classic. If the media files aren't visible in the hidden folders then it may still be possible to use an unerase/undelete or other file recovery tool.

I have been having a lot of trouble with the latest itunes update and my ipod classic 80Gb i.e. being unable to sync songs, but now i have no files at all on my ipod, it is completely blank when i view it from my computer. I need help, please, anybody.

As it says above, i have been having a lot f trouble with my ipod classic and the latest itunes update, i was unable to sync songs or anything to it and have tried every conceivable 'fix' i could find. i have run an itunes diagnostic and the results are posted below. a major problem is that when i try and view my ipod through my computer it displays nothing at all on the ipod, no files or anything, this may be the problem but i have no idea how it has happened or how i could resolve it.
This ipod holds huge sentimental value and i am loathe to buy a new one! If anybody can help it is greatly appreciated, than kyou in advanced.

Audiobooks not playing on iPod Classic

I downloaded an audiobook from iTunes. It will play on computer thru iTunes Library and will also play on computer when I click on iPod Audiobooks but will not play on my iPod. The info shows on video screen, but no playback.

It's a long time since I've experienced 1 of 0 on my iPod Classic and I can no longer remember what causes that.
However, 1 of 1 usually means that you are playing the iPod in shuffle mode and that all the songs in the Playlist are set to Skip when shuffling. In this situation, as a song is playing, every other song is set to be skipped, therefore there is nothing else to play - so 1 of 1. So if you are using shuffle mode, check the songs (in your iTunes Library) for Skip when shuffling. To do this, highlight a song and select File/Get Info/Options>Skip when shuffling> - no tick in the box.
If you need to change those settings, you need to Sync the Pod to iTunes afterwards for the changes to be on the iPod as well.

Unable to load an audiobook on a ipod classic 5 gen

I just purchased a used ipod classic 5 gen. After resetting the ipod as noted on itunes, I went to sync an audio book to the ipod and get an error message that the audiobook was uinable to be loaded on ipod. What am I doing wrong?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

I just bought an audio book from iStore, it is in my iTunes under "audiobooks" but will not sync with my iPod Classic, any ideas?

I have downloaded several audiobooks from audible and they have synced fine with my iPod but this book from the Apple Store will not sync from my iTunes to my iPod.
I am also having an issue with iTunes U; I have subscribed to the two classes I am taking this term and downloaded the videos to iTunes but when I sync my iPod classic I keep getting this error message: "Some of the videos in your iTunes Library were not copied to the iPod because they cannot be played on this iPod." I'm not sure what is going on because I have used this feature on my iPod classic before and it worked fine.

Those videos are probably not in an iPod-friendly format. It’s picky about that. You can try converting them, if possible.
As for the audiobooks, are you sure they haven’t synced? You’ve enabled it to sync books and checked the “Audiobooks” section of your iPod?

Audiobooks on Ipod Classic 160GB

I have some audiobooks in my iTunes, organised into different books, each separated into chapters (20-30 minute mp3 tracks, just changed to media type "audiobook").
They are all fine, and remain grouped together as books in my iTunes, but not on my iPod. When I open the Audiobooks section on my iPod, the chapters from various books appear, all jumbled and random, impossible to listen to in sequence.
I have no problem playing through them on my iTunes, but cannot figure out how to group them into folders etc. on my iPod.
I'd be very grateful for some advice, thank you.
