ITunes 7 - Selection of audiobooks

Hi!
I just downloaded iTunes 7 and wonder about the new section "audiobooks" (or similar, my iTunes is German...):
I got a couple of books, some from Audible, some ripped from CDs. All've got the file type and extension "m4b", the genre "spoken content or audiobook" and work well on my iPod mini (catagorized as audio books, last position saved etc.).
Nevertheless, not all book are located in the new section and I can't figure out why. Does anybody know which criterias have to be met by a file, so it will be shown in iTunes 7 as an audio book?
Any hint appreciated, Matthias

Chris,
Did you even bother to read the thread?
Hey guys, what's going wrong? Relax ...
It's called threadjacking.
Actually it wasn't threadjacking as "MorningCoffee" was still on topic. I found both of your replies quite unfriendly, take it easy ...
Back on topic: Your first instruction wasn't clear enough as you mentioned only to "delete it", what I referred to the section, not to the audiobook files. Never mind. The reimporting of files fixed my problem: I dragged the audiobooks to another location, deleted the iTunes entries and imported them again. Now they do show up as audiobooks (without changing any file attribute). Strange!
THX, Matthias

  • HT5731 I bought a full season of a TV show. I downloaded all episodes. When I go into my iTunes library, select the episodes I get a message of: This computer is already associated with an Apple ID. I can't for the life of me get the TV show to play.

    I bought a full season of a TV show. I downloaded all episodes, I went to my  iTunes library, selected the episode I wanted to watch. I got this message: This computer is already associated with an Apple ID. I can't for the life of me get the TV shows to play. I went on iTunes and when to my purchases. Clicked on the episodes and the same message popped up. How do I get these to play? I also see my download box with an error message saying it has paused the download. I click unpause and it just pauses again. I have been able to get one of the episodes to play once through, but now it gives me the same message.

    It's been months, so you may not care anymore, but you can't download songs from multiple Apple IDs over a 90 days period.  Sorry, it's not allowed for legal reasons.

  • Why is the itunes store selection different on my mac and apple tv?

    Why is the itunes store selection different on my mac and apple tv. when i browse the documenteries on my apple tv, i can purchase/rent only 3. when i look on the itunes store on my mac, there's a whole page of docs to select from.

    "ah, so It's really up to the artists/ Distributions people that decide what can be published or sold? "
    Yes.

    See if you can get a refund.  Other than that you would have to buy them back as audiobooks.

  • I bought an audiobook in itunes on my pc and I can not get it to push to my iphones.  Do I physically have to connect to itunes to get the audiobook on my iphone?

    Audiobooks are currently a one-time only download, so if you're asking whether you need to connect the iPhone to your computer's iTunes (if that is where you've downloaded it) in order to get the audiobook on it then yes, you will need to sync it the phone, you can't re-download it on the phone.

  • When i try to sync photos from iPhoto to my iPad using iTunes,  the "Selected Folders" option is greyed out with only the "All Folders" option available, how do i change this?

    When i try to sync photos from iPhoto to my iPad using iTunes,  the "Selected Folders" option is greyed out with only the "All Folders" option available, how do i change this?

    I add the keyword 'sync' to any photos I want added to the iPhone/iPad.
    Then, during the regular process of syncing the iPhone/iPad with my computer (mac), the photos with that keyword would be copied onto the iPhone, iPad.
    I've been doing it this way ever since I was shown how to; ie after I got my iPhone 2 years ago. And every time the process worked - until the last few weeks. Suddenly it doesn't do it any more.
    I believe I have upgraded software (either iTunes or iPhoto or both) during this period. I try to keep my software updated but have noticed previously that the new version often is disappointing.
    I've not tended to use Smart albums much.

  • New itunes:  dropped all  my audiobooks.  Can't download audiobooks either.  I'm sick of Apple products.

    New itunes dropped all my audiobooks.  Now I am trying to download some new ones and it will not even continue.  It has locked up.  I use Overdrive Media.  It seems like Apple doesn't design their products for my needs.  I use my ipod to listen to books while I exercise.  I spent an hour on the phone trying to fix this.  It was never fixed and my call was dropped four times. 

    They are not lost.  Do a spotlight search for a title.   In spotlight at the bottom of the page,you will find the path  to the title :  macintosh/users/music/iTunes/itunes music/...
    I can not getmy titles to show up in the beautiful cover flow view that the old itunes had.  Let you know if I figure that one out.  For now be assured you did not lose anything.

  • Itunes info selected calendars shows non-current iCal list -- why?

    Hello, I just purchased an iPhone (3.1.2) and wanted to sync a couple selected calendars from my mac onto my iPhone. Problem is that the list of "Selected calendars" does not have the 2 new ones I created for this purpose, and worse, is showing a few I thought I deleted a while ago.
    Does anyone know where I would look for the root problem and better yet -- how I might fix this?
    thanks

    Here's the answer:
    I migrated from one mac to another mac a month ago and used migration assistant. Calendars all looked good. I subsequently did calendar maint -- deleted a couple and created a couple new ones. NP, they all work fine in iCal. Then I bought an iPhone and wanted to sync my 2 new calendars to the phone.
    Problem: in iTunes, the "Selected calendars" list is old, not current. I notice that in users/../library/calendars are by timestamp, what I guess are my calendars. But in users/../library/application support/ical there are files timestamped from the day I migrated, and the same number of files as calendars that I had before.
    If I remove all files from users/../library/calendars and restart iCal, it recreates all my calendars as they appeared on migration day, so I assume getting them from the second location, which I assume iTunes is also???
    What I ended up doing was after having iCal recreate the calendars from the second location, I imported all of the .ics files for the newly created calendars in users/../library/calendars from my backup -- always backup before messing with things -- into new calendars in iCal. Though this all seem crazy redundant.
    Now iTunes see the correct calendar list. No idea why I had to go through all of this.

  • I live in Hong Kong, but I am from Seattle WA. When i look for ibooks or itunes my selections are extremely limited. Is this because I'm in a different country?

    I live in Hong Kong, but I am from Seattle WA. When i look for ibooks or itunes my selections are extremely limited. Is this because I'm in a different country?

    For instance; it seems on the net I see that many Tom Clancy books are availbe on ibooks, but i can not just look them up on my phone. along with many other authors. in the Category section, when trying to browse, many of the categories do not contain any authors or titles at all. this goes for many "i" apps.

  • Itunes truncates titles of audiobook tracks

    I am importing audio books into iTunes and converting them from music to audio books. When I select my tracks and select Get Info->Options->Media Kind to change it from music to audio books it truncates or alters all the titles of my tracks. Even just selecting the track name will truncate it...any suggestions?

    What are you using to rip the audiobooks. Most text fields in ID3V2.x are limited to 255 characters, but in iD3V1 this is just 30. If the tracks have both ID3V1 & V2 tags iTunes may read the truncated values from the V1 tag. Use ID3V2.3 for best results. Note also that iTunes limits file and folder names to 40 characters when it is in charge of organizing the files, but this in itself shouldn't affect the values stored in the tags.

  • Itunes is selecting multiple songs when I click and all my comands seem to have changed

    I left my computer on playing music from itunes in my room while I was cleaning, and I think my cat walked on it and pressed some series of keys because now when I click on one song it doesn't play or anything then if i click on a second song it selects (highlights) all the songs in between the two. If i hit esc it will clear the highlighted portion and if i right click and then select play the song i am on will play, but if i hit the right arrow it just fast forwards through that song for as long as i hold it but before it was skipping to the next song. I really really hate this and i want it to go back to normal if anyone knows what this is and how to fix it please let me know! THANKS!! <3

    Has either if the shift keys got stuck? It might be worth checking thew ctrl keys as well.

  • HT202213 my apple tv is not showing in the devices in Itunes to select for sharing.

    Can someone tell me what I need to do get my Itunes and Apple TX sharing. I reinstalled the operating system on my Imac and now Im having problems mwith getting my Apple TV and IPhoto to work.
    Thanks, in advanced.

    My is ATV3
    Additional information:
    I have got my wifi working in ML now. I still have to turn off and restart sometimes.
    Btw. Screens described below is translated from Swedish but I hope You understand what I mean
    ATV3:
    ATV3 is working.
    I can go to YouTube etc. and radiostations work just fine.
    I have turned off HomeSharing and selected an other AppleID (same as before, just wantede to redo)
    HomeSharing shows the Correct ID down to the left
    The menu screen on ATV shows "Homesharing on" "Click on Computers to view"
    I click on Computer and a new screen comes up:
    "You have to turn on HomeSharing to see your libraries"
    If I go to Screensaver  can choose "my photolibrary" and all pictures will show.
    iTunes:
    I know to choose what to share since I been with ATV since the very first one.
    But for sure I unchecked all and rechecked them again and pressed "Confirm"
    In the iTune right list, no homesharing are wieved.
    If I Turn off homesharing and Turns it on again the list shows HomeSharing but after I
    signed the password and click OK it goes away in the list in iTunes.
    Ipad3 and Iphone 4S no longer have the airplay icon.
    I can not go back to earlier revisions of the program as my TM goes back to the day I installed ML.
    I read in the newspaper tha Apple now is the biggest with a huge capital. Perhaps they could take a few dollars to fix this.

  • Playlists don't appear in iTunes Playlist selection window when synching

    I just updated to iTunes 9.0 (big mistake) and discovered that many of my playlists do not appear in the playlist selection window when I synch my iPod nano 2.0. Even playlists that I created after upgrading to 9.0 don't appear. I have more playlists than I can load onto my iPod, so I need to be able to select which playlists to synch. Since many don't even appear in the selection window, I can't put them on my iPod. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
    BTW, I have already gone through the Five R's, which did nothing to help.

    Personally I use Subler to tag all these shows and then send them to Itunes. In subler you have the option of setting the Media Type and also the HD option of 720 or 1080p if applicable. Save it then use the file, Send to itunes and they show up in the right place.
