Is it possible to download Audiobooks to a 5th gen 30GB ipod?

Would like to download audiobooks on my iMac to my 5th gen 30GB ipod for travel purposes. There is no Audiobooks tab for this during updates. Appears it's not possible. Anyone have a solution?

Never Mind! This situation resolved itself. After you have an audiobook downloaded and residing in iTunes a "Book" tab appears during update for both the iPhone and iPod. Then you can download it to either or both, devices. I asked the question prematurely before the audiobook was residing in iTunes and there was no book tab in either mobile device.
Problem solved!

  • I have a ipod classic 5th gen 30gb, if i download a movie or song from the current itunes i use with my ipod touch will it play? or do i have to get another type of itunes, if so which one?

    i have windows 7 and a2nd gen ipod touch and i just aquired an ipod classic which is a 5th gen from 2005 with a 30 gb capacity. can i download a video movie or episode and songs from the current itunes i use for my ipod touch or is there a different one i should use? please help.

    You can plug the iPod into the same iTunes library as your iPod Touch and sync whatever content you like to it. There is no limilt to the number of iPads, iPhones, or iPods you can sync with one iTunes library, account, or computer.  How you sync one device will not affect the syncing preferences of the other.

  • HT201272 How can I download audiobooks purchased on audible to my iPod from my iTunes library

    Two audiobooks that are still in my itunes library and used to be on my ipod are now removed from my ipod (don't know why). They were purchased from audible and worked on my ipod for years but now I can't download them...again even though they are in my library under 'audiobooks. Suggestions please.

    If you bought them directly from audible.com then, as far as I know, you should have been able to redownload them from audible for free.
    They show in the Audiobooks part of your Mac's iTunes library, and they play ok on there ?
    And when trying to sync them you're doing what I said in my above reply e.g. you've selected them on the iPod's Books (Audiobooks ?) tab and then applied/synced that selection (I don't have an iPod Classic but I assume that they have similar syncing screens as on other device)
    Does the 'screen' at the top of iTunes then appear to be showing that they are being synced to your iPod ?
    You could try asking in iPod Classic forum, you will probably get better help there.

  • I want to download audiobooks from my computer to my IPOD.  I have an ITUNES program.

    I want to transfer audiobooks from a filefolder in my computer to ITUNES program and download to my IPOD.  How do I get the books into ITUNES?

    Where did you get the audio books?  Audio books from the iTunes store and Audio.com go into the Books section of your iTunes library.

  • Audiobooks going into "Other" folder when syncing on 5th gen video ipod

    Suddenly a bunch of audiobooks I bought recently are not syncing properly. They seem to be going into the "other" category because when I look at my iPod memory summary, the colored bar chart, I see that category (in orange) growing but Audio (blue) remains the same. The files appear to be on the iPod when I look in iTunes but when I unplug the iPod and check there I can't find the audiobooks on the device. I restored twice, and then started getting the -48 error message. It seems as though iTunes is somehow misallocating the files and making them invisible. Any ideas how to fix this?

    When you connect the iPod to any kind of powersource, or anytime you turn it on, it has these fans inside of it that start turning and shifting into place to cool the iPod off to keep it at a temperature at which it is able to operate. Soemtimes, the hardrive clicks as it does this to rev up, which is normal, like an airplane does as it takes off. On the other hand, if it does this non-stop for an extended period of time, then you might want to get it looked at by an apple genius at an apple store.

  • My 5th gen. IPOD won't disconnect after I download pictures to it?

    I've been able to download pictures to my IPOD. However, the last time I did it I was unable to disconnect my IPOD. I kept getting the Do Not Disconnect on my IPOD, but ITUNES said it was done updating. When I tried to manually eject my IPOD I got a "note" on my screen saying IPOD can not be ejected because files that are on the IPOD are being used in another application. I checked and I didn't have any other applications going. I shut down my computer and was finally able to disconnect my IPOD, but now everytime I connect my IPOD I keep getting the Do Not Disconnect. I don't want to have to shut my computer completly down everytime I update my IPOD. It was working just fine before, so I'm not sure what is going on....

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    When you want to disconnect it and it says that...
    How to Safely Disconnect
    That way you don't need to shut down your computer.
    Also, do you have McAfee Virus Scan on your computer? That tends to be the cause of this issue. Try disabling it before you connect your iPod. When you are finished, reenable it.

  • Can I determined sorting order audiobooks on my 4th Gen. Ipod Nano ?

    Why aren't audiobooks listed on ipod nano 4th generation the same order as they are in itunes?
    I have an audio book on several CD's that I copied into my Itunes library. I have already gone into the track information and set them all to audiobook. On my Ipod (Nano 4th Generation) they are listed by the track name (Chapter name). Which means during playback they are out of order. However, in Itunes on my Mac they are listed under the name of the book and the chapters are in the right sequence.
    I haven't read any solutions for how to change the sorting order of audiobooks on the Ipod Nano 4th Generation. (I'd be interested in a solution to this problem on other Ipods. Like Ipod Nano 1st Generation and Ipod shuffle 4th Generation)

    Did you already load the audiobook manually (by dragging it to the shuffle)?  To confirm that the audiobook is on the shuffle...
    Select the shuffle in the iTunes sidebar.  If the sidebar (along left side of window) is not visible, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.
    Click the small triangle to the left of the shuffle name (in the sidebar) to drop down its content list, indented below the shuffle.  Click on Audiobooks there.  To the right, your audiobook(s) should be listed.
    NOTE:  if you don't see Audiobooks on the content list, there are no audiobooks on the shuffle.
    When you turn ON the shuffle, you are playing from the default All Songs list.  Audiobooks (and podcasts) do not play from the All Songs list.  You need to use VoiceOver to select the audiobook from the playlist menu.  This document explains how to set up and use VoiceOver on your shuffle

  • I was able to download library books to read on iphone 4s.  I have overdrive app and would like to download audiobooks from the library.

    Please advise.  I have iphone 4s and downloaded Overdrive app to obtain audiobooks from library. I am able to download books as content for reading, but have not been able to successfully figure out how to download audiobooks.  Is it possible to download audiobooks via overdrive from a library and if so how?
    Thank you

    When you select a book you need to choose the audiobook version and not the ebook version. You have downloaded ebooks in the past.

  • Downloading 15,000 Photos to 5th gen iPod

    Want to upgrade to new 5th gen iPod 60GB but would like answers to the following.
    1. Apple say, “If you have a Windows PC and Adobe Photoshop Elements 3.0 or later, you can download photo collections automatically.“
    Will the above work on a Mac using Adobe Photoshop 7?.
    2. Apple say, “When you download photos to iPod, iTunes optimises the photos for viewing. Full-resolution image files aren’t transferred by default”.
    By what % does iTunes reduce each image file by?.
    3. I have 15,000 Jpeg images stored on an iMac but not in iPhoto. The folder structure is extensive and named in a manner that I understand. If I want to download all 15,000 Jpeg images via iTunes will the folder structure-names and each file code number be kept the same. In other words I want to duplicate the whole archive; folders, files and names and access the same family tree of folders and files as if on an iMac, is this possible?.
    4. What is the useable GB hard drive space on a 5th gen 60GB iPod?.
    Thanks.

    1) You can actually downlaod photos directly from iphoto library .....you can set up folders within iphoto and the pholders will appear on the ipod. But i am unaware of elements transfer on a mac (never done it b4).
    4) the useable gb on a ipod hard drive is slightly less that the advertised 30gb or 60gb it in reality done mathematically is slightly less. So it is likely 1 or 2 gb lower than the advertised gb storage.Other factors that key intyo the avialble disk storage is apporx how many songs and other files that are stored on your ipod not including the photos you want to place on there.

    Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. If your iPod is defective and has not been abused Apple will exchange it at no cost.

  • Is it possible to load audiobook cds into the audiobook section?

    The music becomes shuffled with the stories. I don't want to have to download audiobooks I've already got on cd from itunes. Is it possible to separate music from books?

    Thanks Diavonex, but that doesn't work (see my question).
    I can easily produces JPGs and load them into Photos, but the site in question can't access them ( it only accepts .doc, .docx, PDF).

    I have downloaded/purchased an audio book to my ipod & it is in German. Is it possible to convert it to English?

    You can't convert it yourself. What does the audiobook's description page in the store say. does it say that it's in English in German ? You can try the 'report a problem' page to contact iTunes Support : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
    If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work then you can try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

  • Is it possible to download iOS  5 from one iMac and not get them totally wiped of apps and stuff. We have an iPad each and a communal email address and an iCloud address each. One iPad now is totally screwed up.

    Is it possible to download iOS  5 from one iMac on two ipads and not get them totally wiped of apps and stuff. We have an iPad each and a communal email address and an iCloud address each. One iPad now is totally screwed up.

    Thank you for your reply.
    I am somewhat new to iOS and OS having grown up with DOS and Windows. I am not familiar with IMAP and iCloud and I am not even sure which types of servers my various emails use.
    The problem I would anticipate with iCloud is that (I assume) it would limit my access to data (including mail) on the iCloud to when I happen to be logged onto the internet. I also assume(?) that large files (photos etc.) would require some time to download whenever I wish to access them from whichever device I happen to be using (I hope I am wrong about this).
    I have kept my devices to 500gb - 1TB for OS and 32gb - 128gb for iOS but since I have pretty slow WiFi (shared with DirecTV Whole Home and Netflix streaming) it is my impression that iCloud might be quite limited due to data transfer times.
    Perhaps a factor would be that I have 2 DSL lines and my main DSL line is connected to two wireless routers (to also provide WiFi in a metal building that blocks WiFi and Cellular signals)
    I may be totally wrong in my assumptions regarding iCloud. My mail is not so urgent that I need access to it instantly and I could wait until I had internet access or I can get it on my iPhone. My main concern with iCloud would be my data files (Word, Pages, Excel, Numbers etc.).
    On the other hand, if I wanted to keep my 10,000 emails that would take up a lot of iCloud memory and I don't know how to measure how much storage it would take or how to move Hotmail or even iCloud mail to iCloud.
    It may take me some time to figure this out.
