Library audiobook in mp3 zip how do I open it

When I click on the zip, it unlocks it with utilities but I can't transfer it to itunes to listen to it. I have a Macbook 08 with Mountain lion and itunes 11. Most of the posts on this appear to be people with windows. Why are they in an apple support? But, that's another subject. When I look through iTunes I opened up the audiobooks part, but my book isn't in there. What can I do to move the zip into the library to listen to it. Thanks in advance.Y

Because this is the iTunes forum, and 85% of all iTunes installations run on Windows.

iTunes cannot do anything with a zip file. You have to use an unzip utility to extract the file(s) that are in it, and add the extracted files to your iTunes library.

How to install open source Flex SDK in Eclipse 3.3 ?

Hi Jai!
I'm not sure about this information because the last time I have used the flash builder into a linux machine was in 2007, but check this out:

It says you will need to use SDK from the command line to build flex application.

How do I view downloaded public library audiobooks in WMA form on my 4th generation ipod?

I am able to transfer files using Overdrive. Overdirve says there are ipod permissions for using these WMA files on the ipod. The files transfer. They function (when the ipod is docked to the computer and they play through the computer). My problem is that I can't see the files on the ipod itself. Therefore, I can't play them on the ipod when it is not docked to the computer. I have looked through a lot of support areas and find nothing that addresses my problem. What am I doing wrong? Thanks.

I tried the transfer process all over again to see if I can better answer your questions. This time I used a "Welcome to Overdrive Media WMA" audiobook file. It is not a protected file, so I thought that would eliminate one problem. I have Overdrive Media Console software installed. What the Overdrive Media Console does is directly transfer the files of the borrowed library audiobook into the ipod. It does not use itunes at all. In fact, if itunes is open, it asks that you close it. If I use the Advance button during the transfer process, I can choose where in the ipod I want to place the file. Once the file(s) is/are in the ipod, it asks you to disconnect the ipod and enjoy reading the book! Now, when I try to find the files on the ipod, once it's disconnected, I cannot locate them. When the ipod is connected to my computer, I can navigate through the folders on the ipod and locate the file(s). I can even play the file(s) through my computer. There are files I can see when viewing the ipod as a disk drive that are not available when navigating through the ipod when it is disconnectied. For example, there is a folder called "Recordings" that I can see through Windows Explorer on the computers, but it is nowhere to be found when scrolling through the ipod when it is working independently. Conversely, there is an "Audiobook" folder on the ipod that does not show when I view it as a disk drive on the computer. Why is that?
Having established that I could bring in the file through Overdrive Media Console, I next tried bringing the same file into my ipod using itunes. This time when it asked to convert, it was allowed to convert the file. I found it in the music. I selected and right clicked it. then I selected "Get info". I changed the Media Kind to Audiobook. Now I have a Book tab when I select my device. The Welcome to Overdrive file is my one audiobook and I can locate it in the Audiobook folder under the Music folder. Terrific!
The remaining problem is to get library audiobooks that are marked as permitted to be put on my ipod to actually go there, using either itunes or Overdrive Media Console. I really don't care which method I use, as long as it works. Since I now have established a place for audiobooks to go, perhaps it would work, but my book loan expired today, so I have to borrow another book and try again. This may take a day or two for the loan to come through. At least that was how my first experience went in receiving a library audiobook. This time I will look more closely to see if somehow I can download the files from the library site to my ipod without first saving them into my computer. It may or may not be a choice.
Does any of this make any sense to you or give you any other ideas for suggestions? I am grateful to you for having this discussion with me. I was able to get some ideas from you and from your suggestions to try a few more things. I feel I have made some progress in understanding what it happening with audiobooks and my ipod. Now I need to be a better understanding of how this library system can work with the ipod. Thank you so much.

I want to take a voice memo off my iPhone, put it into iTunes Library and convert it to an .mp3. How do I get the voice memos from my phone? I can't seem to move them out of the Devices folder, no matter how much I try to copy and paste or drag and drop

I want to take a voice memo off my iPhone, turn it into and .mp3, and email it. My iPhone shows up under "Devices" in my iTunes but doesn't allow me to move the voice memo files I see sitting there into my Library no matter how much copying and pasting or dragging and dropping I try to do.
Also, I need to convert the file to an .mp3.
How come no voice memo files show up when I go into my iPhone via My Computer? All it shows are the videos and pictures in the DCIM folder, but not the voice memos. Is there another way to access the voice memos other than through iTunes?

Email it to yourself, then save the file and then see if you can convert it to MP3.

Anyone how how to download library audiobooks on a Nano?

I'm trying to download audiobooks from my library. Does anyone know how to do this?

A very wise man (no, not SSR this time!) once said "if it isn't broke don't fix it"! (But then again I have put every new version on my N200)
If you're determined to give it a go then go to the Support, Downloads page, find the Nano Plus in the list, select your OS and then you'll be shown a list of firmware, drivers and applications for your player.
Click on the Show Details link next to the firmware and follow the instructions there.
As your firmware is such an early version you probably have a 0-40 volume scale. Be warned that this will change to 0-25 with the bottom 5 levels gone. Volume is then too loud in a quiet environment - search for posts from users complaining about this issue alone. And you won't be able to change back afterwards!

After the latest upgrade, I can't transfer my library audiobook cd's from my computer to my iPod so I can listen to the book. The book shows up on my computer, but not on my iPod.

After the last upgrade, I can't transfer my library audiobook cd's from my computer to my iPod so that I can listen to the book. It seems to be transferring but
doesn't show up on my iPod. How do I find the transferred files on my iPod Classic 60GB? Help! I've done this thousands of times before, and this is the 1st
time I've had a problem, so I'm suspecting the upgrade.

For non-purchased music like CD ripped songs, you need some third party software like sharepod, yamipod or iPod file manager to copy them from iPod back to computer. if you need details, here is a guide about how to copy iPod music. Hope it helps. Feel free to email me if you need further help.

Can you download library audiobooks

Is there a way to download library audiobooks into IPod nano?

Well, I did some research and can answer my own question. My library uses Overdrive Media Console. Borrow your book from the library and download to your computer. What tripped me up here was the format Audiobooks on my iPhone are MP3, but I kept getting an error message fir incompatibility when trying to transfer to nano. Use the WMA format. Once the audiobook downloads to your computer you will see a window with the book and transfer arrows on the tool bar. When you click on the arrows you will get another error msg saying transfer format is not compatible. Go to ITunes, Edit, Preferences, change to "spoken word" . Go back to Overdrive and with iPod connected, hit transfer arrows again and you should be able to transfer successfully. Also, after the transfer go back to ITunes and change back to original settings

My MacBook Pro hard drive is almost full and I wish to store my Aperture Library on an external drive, how do I do this and is the use of USB2 suitable or do I need to use a Firewire external hard drive?

My MacBook Pro hard drive is almost full and I wish to store my Aperture Library on an external drive, how do I do this and is the use of USB2 suitable or do I need to use a Firewire external hard drive?

You'll get better performance if you use a Firewire hard drive (especially if you buy a 7200 RPM drive). Firewire's IO speed is significantly faster than USB 2. USB 2 has a theoretical max speed of 480 Mbps except that it has extremely high over-head. The fastest speeds you can typically get are about 300 Mbps. Firewire, on the other hand, has very little overhead. The fastest speeds you can get are very nearly 800 Mbps. You will typically be constrained by the maximum read/write speed of the drive, not the speed of the I/O on the Firewire bus. Now if you had one of those nice shiny new Macs with the Thunderbolt I/O and a Thunderbolt drive (Light Peak) ... I think they alter space and time so that your data arrives before you know you want it.
Also... unless you want to buy a solid state drive (very expensive), try to keep your hard drives from becoming much more than about 60% full if you want great performance. A nearly "full" hard drive is, on average, only about half as fast as the same hard drive when nearly empty.
USB 2 will work perfectly fine... just not as fast.
Also... it's much safer to move the entire Aperture library than to "relocate masters". Your images must be managed. You can Aperture manage them, or you can manage them. But someone has to manage them. If you "relocate" them so that they are no longer stored inside the Aperture library then you'll need to work out a system of how you decide to organize things and it's critically important that you don't start moving files around or deleting things without Aperture's knowledge. If you do, you'll break the links to your masters and start having problems with missing masters. If you have Aperture manage the library then you don't need to worry about any of that stuff.... it's safer.
Do make backups (use the Aperture Vault or use some other backup program, but make sure you back up your work if you care about it.) There are only two kinds of hard drives in the world: (1) those that have failed and (2) those that are going to fail. There are no exceptions to this rule. Hard drives are cheap. Backup software is built into Aperture and into your Mac.
