Listening to Audiobook from iTunes on my Garmin Nuvi

I have just gotten a Garmin Nuvi GPS unit that comes with a Audible.com player. I have bought some audiobooks from the iTune store and I would like to listen to them on my GPS. How can I play the.m4b files on the player? Can I convert them from m4b to aa? Or is there a different player that I can install on the GPS that will play m4b files? I looked at some software to convert to mp3, but it looks a bit dodgy to me and I am not looking to make illegal copies or anything like that.

Hi. I was on the phone with the folks at Garmin and they said that if you want to play music, podcasts, and audio books you do have to bump the files down to mp3 files instead of mp4.
However, I saw on Amazon that the Garmin Nuvi 350 is being sold for $100 off if you get a monthly subscription to audible.com.
Not sure how that would work.
Hope this helps.

  • I appear to have lost all my audiobooks from itunes and cannot download a new purchase to my ipod.  I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling itunes but this has not helped - I am desperate as I depend on my ipod for listening to books

    My ipod touch has lost touch with my itunes account.  I appear to have lost all my audiobooks from itunes and a nook I downloaded from audible.com last week is on my itunes but I cannot syn it to my ipod.  I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling itunes but this did not work and I now have a different screen with itunes which I am not familiar with.  I need my ipod for audiobooks and podcasts because I have a visual impairment.

    iTunes 11 does some thinks differently. See:
    iTunes 11 for Mac: Set up syncing for iPod, iPhone, or iPad
    or
    iTunes 11 for Windows: Set up syncing for iPod, iPhone, or iPad
    Also
    If you  have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar. The sidebar is where Devices appears. and Control+B to show the Menu bar

  • HT1349 When you buy an audiobook from iTunes where do you open it to hear it?

    When you buy an audiobook from iTunes, where do you open it to start reading it.

    If you download or sync an audiobook to the iPad then you can listen to it in the Music app - when their audiobooks on the iPad you should get an Audiobooks option under the More button at the bottom of the Music app.
    Note that audiobooks are currently a one-time only download from the store, so if you buy any directly on the iPad you may want to connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes and do File > Transfer Purchases (File > Devices > Transfer Purchases on iTunes 11) so that you can take a backup copy.

  • Can't Sync Audiobook from itunes on pc to my iphone5

    I purchased an audiobook from itunes on my pc and I can't get it onto my iphone5. The audiobook shows up in my pc's itunes library under books. (itunes version 11.0.2.26. iphone ios 6.1.3.)
    I followed instructions that I found to do this: From Devices in itunes on my pc, in Books folder I clicked Sync. Then I can see it goes through 3 steps (1:Waiting for Sync to start; 2:Preparing to Sync; 3:Waiting for changes to be applied) but these occur quickly and then it ends.
    There's plent of space on the iphone.
    In the itunes library, in Books, the title is listed and the box is checked.
    In devices, in options, "Sync only checked songs and videos" is checked.
    What am I missing?!

    Hey, TheMightyWitt.
    To sync Audiobooks from your computer to your iOS device, we'll want to follow the basic syncing instructions outlined in this article:
    iOS: Syncing with iTunes
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1386
    Specifically, what we are looking for is the "Books" tab at the top of iTunes (When your iPhone is plugged in). Here is what it looks like:
    Once on the Books tab, there are two separate sections for syncing regular digital Books and Audiobooks. Make sure that the "Sync Audiobooks" checkbox is checked and choose to either sync all or selected audiobooks. Once these changes are applied, the Audiobooks will be transferred to your device for your enjoyment!
    Happy Listening,
    Matt M.

    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

    Hi..
    On your new iPhone tap Settings > Store.
    Make sure Books is turned ON.
    You shouldn't need to re purchase the book >  Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • I downloaded audiobook from iTunes. It comes in 2 parts. Part one will not play, only part 2. When I tried to sync to ipod or iphone it prompted,"file could not be reaf from or written to".Can I fix this issue?

    I just purchased and downloaded an audiobook from iTunes. I tried to sync it to iPhone 4 and iPod Classic but with both devices got a message"file could not be read from to written to".  Then I tried to play the audiobook in iTunes and realized that only part 2 of my 2 part download will play. Part 1 will not play. Is this why I got the message? Is there any way to get another try at downloading my audiobook I just paid $15 for??

    Click the Shuffle button at bottom left of iTunes window so the crossed arrows are not blue.

  • I have purchased two audiobooks from iTunes. They play perfectly for about 13 minutes and then abruptly stop. I have purchased other audiobooks and have not had a problem. Please, any ideas on why this is happening and what can I do to fix it.  Thanks!

    As long as you use your computer like King Penguin stated for Report a Problem, you should be fine. If you can't get to your computer, are not using your computer, or your computer is not longer in the mix since you have been using your iPad, email iTunes support about the problem.

    Let's start with the basics.
    Have you ticked the box on the Audiobooks Tab that what do you want to sync? If you have then except the Audiobooks, iTunes sync other media (music, photos, applications) with your phone? If iTunes does, then you should try to see the Advanced screen and check that the three box on the bottom of the screen (above the iPhone's memory indicator) are ticked or not. Check them carefully because if you select that you select media by yourself then you have to be careful to tick every item what you want to sync. By default every media is ticked, but if you edited it then you can get unexpected result what can cause that you can't sync your iPhone with your audiobooks.
    If you checked everything and against it, your audiobooks doesn't sync then write in to Discussions > iTunes for more help or turn to Apple.

    Hi Jen.  My daughter just compleated her nursing program and is now working as a full time nurse.  Focus and study hard and soon you will be there too.  Now to the problem at hand.  I have the same problem.  I gave up on it and satisfied myself with my iPod without the upgrade.  Reason being I've read so many posts of people having problems after the upgrade.  But I'm sure other factors are involved.  Nevertheless here is the fix most say works to solve the problem:  What ever virus protection you have installed on your computer, disable it.  Then try to install the update. After that enable the protection. I had Kaspersky, and it does it's job well. The thinking is, the virus protection is blocking the upgrade.  Hope this works.   Charlie

  • I uploaded 3 audiobooks from iTunes to my iPhone 5 with the latest ios7 on it. Each of them only plays the first 15 mins of the playback and then silence, the bar shows the book is still playing but no sound, any ideas? Thanks

    I uploaded 3 audiobooks from iTunes to my iPhone 5 with the latest ios7 on it. Each of them only plays the first 15 mins of the playback and then silence, the bar shows the book is still playing but no sound, any ideas? Thanks

    What happens when playing the same books in iTunes. Is there sound after 15 min?
    If also silent in iTunes, check the info tab where you can see the item is an audiobook, etc. Check the volume bar, this normally is on the zero point.
    When an audio book is really low in audio, I tend to move this to the plus side (+1=max), but for some strange reason this bar was at -1 in some books I had and they also seemed to play in absolute silence.

  • Purchased an audiobook from iTunes and unable to sync it to my iPhone

    I purchased an audiobook from iTunes on my MacBook Air and have been unable to sync it to my iphone! Any thoughts?

    Hi DrDRB,
    Check out these two previous topics on the subject matter -

    https://discussions.apple.com/message/7892499#7892499
    Also, I see you're new. First off, welcome. Secondly, although you own a MacBook Air this sub-forum is typically reserved for hardware and/or software issues pertaining to the MacBook Air. For an issue with an audiobook from iTunes and being unable to sync to your iPhone a question like this would be better asked in the iTunes forum, as the iPhone forum is like the MacBook Air forum (designed for hardware/software issues related to the iPhone and iOS).
    That iTunes forum is located here - https://discussions.apple.com/community/itunes

    How do I download only selected audiobooks from iTunes to my iPod.? I don't want to download the whole library..i have an iPod classic and Mac laptop with the latest ios.

    If you check songs, simply sync the entire library.
    But I highly recommend (and it is far simpler) to create a playlist (or multiple playlists) and select only that playlist to sync.
    Leave everything checked.
    Then simply add/remove from these playlists and sync away.
