ITunes, CD audio book

When I load an audio-book CD into my computer it first asks me if I want it in iTunes. Fine, no chance to rename it from UNTITLED ARTIST, it just does it. I use the joining function to--well join the cuts and keep them in order, I thought. Then I load the second CD, same thing, good. Then, with no prompting from me, indeed I'm unable to stop it, the two UNTITLED ARTIST albums are intreleaved; in other words it plays thus: chapter 1 (from CD1), then chapter 1 (from CD2). Were I to load all six CDs I would get as playback all the first cuts from each CD, then all the second cuts before going on to chapter 2 from the first disc. This makes for a very strange way to listen to a story.

I found a work around.
1. Select the long track and using get info
2. Set the start and stop times and check the check boxes next to them.
3. Create a new play list of the selected track.
4. Burn a CD using the new playlist.

Itunes 11, audio books, how to get a correct sorted display?

I have some audio books ripped from CDs. The title have a track number (of a certain CD) and have a CD number. Track 3 of 5, CD 2 of 6. Unfortunately in the audio book view the titles for an audio book are not sorted by CD and then by track number. First should be all tracks of CD 1 in order, then of CD 2, and so on. In list view the sort order is correct. But not in the new audio book view.
Is there a way to tell iTunes 11 to sort the titles of an audio book in the correct order?

I've got the same issue with all my 100% correct tagged multi-disc Audiobooks here.
With iTunes 11 it isn't possible to play this kind Audiobooks in correct order.

Unable to burn iTunes Store audio book track to CD - Track to long

I am unable to burn an audio book I purchased to CD because the track is to long, 2 hours and 8 minutes. I tried setting the start and stop times to be less than 1 hour, but I still get the message. How can I get the track burned to a set of CDs?

You transfer the purchases to the computer you use to sync the iPhone. You can use a thumb drive or an external HD, etc. Read this: iTunes for Mac - How to copy purchases between computers: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1373

Can not transfer WMA audio books to new iPhone 4S

I got a new 4S and went to sync it in iTunes and got a message saying I had to load the latest version of iTunes and went ahead and did it and it worked fine. No issues and all synced and got all of my apps music and pictures!! Then i went to transfer a WMA audio book using OverDrive Media and all functioned same as with my 3G phone except I can not find the books on my iPhone. They are not in the iPod app now called Music. Also not in the books app or in OverDrive. Even asked Siri to find the book and she could not
Any suggestions would be appreciated

Hi
Sorry to disagree whist Audible might have recorded the books Apple puts it's own protection on the Audible files they sell in their iTunes Store unless they changed that policy quite recently.
They are dearer from iTunes at least in Australia, I will go out on a limb and say they are also in the US store
As an example I picked the fist 2 best sellers off of iTunes Australian Audio Book Store as an example,
I can only assume that either you are not an Audible Member and thus not seeing the Audible member price.

Sorry if i misunderstood, but when you started talking about Audible files I assumed ( obviously incorrectly) that they were Audible files purchased from Audible.
Audible existed before Apple had an Audio store and Audible has it's own format. In order to use Audible files purchased from Audible you need to Authorize iTunes to do so, under the advanced menu under Authorize Audible Account.
Your 4S i Assume has IOS 5 so i assumed it was the same issue i was having with my iPad 2 once i installed IOS 5. . . everything was working fine until i did
I will delete my reply if Apple will let me, because my answer has obviously upset you
I apologize for any inconvenience my post caused, i was only trying to help

How do I add an Audio Book that I have...

How do I add an Audio Book that I have thats in the correct format to iTunes.My Audio Book Playlist is not there in iTunes,My iPod shows that Audio Books is there,but not in iTunes?..Thanks for any help..:)

I'm assuming you didn't purchase the book from the iTMS or audible.com
There is another post around here you can use to convert the tracks into "audiobooks" so they appear in the correct sections

Audio books didn't load on new IPad Air

Why didn't my iTunes purchased audio books transfer from my IPad 3 to my new Air?

How did you try to transfer them ? Audiobooks are a one-time only download from the store (so they won't be copied by an iCloud backup/restore), so to get them form your iPad 3 you will need to copy them over to your computer's iTunes library by connecting it and doing File > Devices > Transfer Purchases and then syncing them - if you were trying to restore to an iTunes backup then were those audiobooks in your computer's iTunes library ?

Settings for ripping an audio book cd

I recently started ripping an audio book cd. I wanted to set it up like other iTunes store audio books are recognized on my ipod. I changed the genre to Audio Book CD, and changed in the Options tab to "Audiobook". It went from being an album in my library to disappearing altogether, although I can still find it on my hard drive and can't figure out why its gone from my iTunes interface.

I know this is over a month old, but thought that I would answer you, since no one else has. The Audiobook has not disappeared. You are looking in your MUSIC library. You need to switch to the BOOKS library and choose AUDIOBOOKS from the tabs at the top (provided you have the latest version of iTunes).
I hope this helps!

I recently downloaded an audio book, while the book sounds ok on my mac it has an echo in my iPad. Any way to fix ?

I recently downloaded an audiobook from itunes the audio book has an echo on my iPad although it works on my main mac...any ideas?

Hello robbinredbreast,
I'd recommend putting the iPod into 'manual mode.' This will need to be done from the computer that it's normally synced to in order to prevent removing existing content, but it can then be connected to your computer, and you can add the audio book without removing the current library on the device.

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.

I can no longer find Harry Potter audio books on iTunes (April 2012)

I bought the first 3 Potter audio books in iTunes January 2012.
When I search the iTunes store, the Harry Potter audio books are no longer appearing. We just purchased the first 3 ones this year 2012 and would like to purchase the rest but they dont show up at the iTunes store.

Thanks.

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?

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.

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.

I have audio books on my ipod, but when I hook it up to my computer they don't show up so I can't take them off or anything. Now I am out of space. How do I get them to show up on the itunes sync screens?

I have audio books that are on my ipod touch, but when I hook it up to my computer to make changes they don't show up. I can't add new music, because it keeps telling me I am out of room. When I go to the book tab at the top it doesn't show any so I can't take them off. How do I get them to show up?

iDevices are not and have never been backup devices.
Authorizing a computer does not cause media to magically appear.
Media is only where the user puts it.
Copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the old computer to the new computer.
