Missing Audio Book Chapters

Can anyone tell me where the chapters went for the audio books in the Music App on mt iPad? Works fine on my iPhone 4s.
When listening to a book and I select what appears to be the book (looking for chapters) I get a list of all the books in the category, not the chapters.

Log into your Itune account. Go to purchase history which shows all of your purchase date and order number and what you bought. Send itune cusomer service to ask them to restore those particular order numbers for audio books. They will restore those for you to download again. Audiobook has tendacied not to be shown on iTune as I have no problem for other song and movie purchases.

Since I've updated to iOS 6 I am unable to use the next/back buttons from Headphone for audio book chapters.

Since I've updated from iOS 5 to iOS 6 I am unable to use the next/back buttons from Headphone for audio book chapters.
This is working fine for albums but are broken for audio books.
The back button refers always to the first chapter of the audio book (very annoying if you are in the middle of an audio book) and the nex button goes one level higher back to the selection of the audio book itself.
In iOS 5.0 it was still possible to navigate throught the audio book chapters using these buttons.
This still happens in iOS 6.1.
Is this a known bug?
Does any solution exist?
Thx,
Oliver

To gdgmacguy your a f****** idiot for one I'm having the same problem as pennymar. And you tell me to quit whinning. You got more problems then the iOS 6 you did not answer my question nor the other 13 or whatever you replied to within a 30 min time frame. You must got nothing better to do then to harass people and to pretend you know something about apple products. Which you don't from what I've read the other advices you should have gave to other people. But you didn't you replied a question back to the people asking a question. So if your not gonna use these community forums the right way don't use them at all.

Audio books (Chapters Missing)

I have an iPhone 5s, IOS 7.1.
In previous versions, I was able to go directly to a chapter in my audio book (I converted my CDROMS).
In IOS 7 and 7.1, I can no longer see the individual chapters. I only see entire book which you cannot easily move to different parts of the book. The scrubber is not that easy to move to a certain section of the book.
Is showing Chapters no longer an option or is it an option I cannot locate?
Were there changes in the operating system that I need to convert all my books again so I can see the chapters?

Copy them from the old computer, along with all your other content so that you don't waste bandwidth downloading it.

Audio book chapters mixed up

On my iTouch my current audio book shows 9 chapters with really odd track times like 23 min 17 min etc The book is many hours long.
On iTunes it says 5 chapters
To top that the book has many chapters as I'm on 51 now.
nothing matches at all. If I forget my spot when I go back the numbers on the iTouch it makes no sense. It will be chapter 35 the iTouch will say it is the second of five, but it shows 9 tracks and the first two only add up to 30 minutes
There is no way to tell where you are, if you change apps.

Thank you for taking the time and trouble to reply, Santo!
I tried your suggestion, but it didn't seem to help, but then I noticed something that I hadn't noticed before. Half of the discs were titled "Disc XXX" and the other half were titled "Disk XXX". (Notice the spelling of "Disc" vs. "Disk".) Once I made the spelling uniform, everything was fine.
Thanks again!

Audio book chapters play randomly though shuffle is set to off

I have turned off the 'shuffle' option in the Music section, but my audio book(s) still play chapters in a random mode. From intro and chapter 1 to chapter 18 or 22. Also the reset procedure seems not to work. I wanted to try this to see if it would re-set the chapter issue, but I don't seem to be able to hold the wake/sleep touch and press the sound down button for 6 seconds as described in the manual. Any ideas?

Audio book chapters won't sort in order

I'm downloading a book and either in audio book format or as music, I cannot get the chapters to sort in order on my iPod. They sort in order in iTunes, but when I download them to the iPod, they come in reverse order. That really doesn't do it for me when I'm driving and listening!

Missing Audio Book

I don't know if this is the right place for this post but here we go anyway. So I am listening to Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series. In the Itunes store you don't have book 9 up however book 10 through 12 are there. Is there a reason why this book is missing in the series. To sound a little fickle I don't want to actually get a hard back of this book as I listen to audio books while I work. If you could please add this book to the store it would make me very happy.
Sincerely
Weissct

Moving forward and backward in audio book chapters on M

I have a MuVo TX FM and I can't figure out how to move back and forth between chapters in a audio book. The chapter numbers are shown on the display. How can I skip chapters or go back?

THere are two ways to ff/rw within a track... see if one works better than the other.
While the track is playing, you can either;
A) press and hold the rw/ff button.
or
B) Press the select (center) button once. This will bring up the track's progress bar. From here you can move around within the track by using the touch wheel (just like you're adjusting the volume). I find this to be more accurate when trying to find a specific location.
Good luck.
Cheers!

Audio book chapters out of order.

I have been having this issue for years with no resolve. I import audio books into itunes, and they are in order. I then move them to my ipod and they are out of order. ANY HELP?? PLEASE? I see people have posted this problem all over for years but I see no resolution.

I had the same problem as you and what was causing it was that the sort fields were not the same for each track. So the tracks that had the same info in their sort fields were grouped together when they transferred to my iphone.
I know that might not make things clear. Here's what you can do to fix it.
In itunes, select all the tracks of the audiobook, then hit Command-I to open up the Get Info/Multiple Item Information window.
There should be four tabs: Info, Video, Sorting, Options. Click on the Info tab first. Any fields that are empty are either fields that were never entered when you burned the disc OR they could be fields that are not the same for each track. If it's the latter, that will be a big problem. The only fields you want different between tracks are the "Disc ___ of X" and "Track ___ of X" fields. The fix here is to put in something into each field. But don't hit "OK" yet.
Next click on the Sorting tab and fill in something for each field because any differences here will also cause you headaches when you tranfer over to the ipod. So fill in information in each field. Now hit okay.
If you've done it right, the software will be forced to look at the "Disc ___ of X" field when transferring the files over to your ipod and the tracks will be in the right order.

Zen 2gb and audio book chapters and bookma

Hello,
Right now I have a Zen Stone which I use mainly to download audio books and which I have outgrown. It was a good, cheap starter mp3, but now I want something better. (The tech upgrade?bug strikes again, I guess.) The main peeeve I have with the Zen Stone is that I cannot bookmark where I stopped in a book's chapter. Books download in sections whcih contain more that one actual chapte, so, when I have to recharge the battery, the Stone restarts at the last section, not where I quit to recharge. Thus, I have to re-listen to old material. Also, since there is no screen, I can't see where and what section/chapter I am anyway.
Will a better model Zen allow me to save and bookmark where I am in a book so that i can restart anywhere without going back over old material? Will I be able to see sections nad chapter headings (section 4, chapter6, e.g.) on the screen.
Any help appreciated. I am fairly new to mp3-land, but not to computers. Thanks

I can tell you that the Zen 2gb is not as great with audio books as it ought to be.
Audible?format audio books have chapter markings that the Zen can see. Overdri've?Media files?do not.
Yes, you can bookmark. However, when you go to the bookmark, the player does not remember that the bookmarked file was part of a playlist. Therefore, it loads only the one file and stops playing when it gets to the end. At that point you have to go back through the main menu to reload your playlist.
The "resume" function would make the bookmark problem less annoying, if it worked properly. The player will remember where you stopped and begin there the next time you turn the player on, unless you wait more than 2 hours. In that case, it starts at the beginning of the track and you have to FF till you find your place (hopefully you remembered to note the timer position before shutting down). This is the method I've settled on, because although I have to FF to my place every morning and evening, at least I don't have to keep reloading playlist.
Interestingly, although you can't bookmark videos on the Zen, you don't need to, because it remembers where you left off playing it no matter how long you wait, and even after synching.

How to Organize Many Audio Book Chapters?

I'd love pointers to tutorials or tips regarding how to organize audiobooks. I ripped an audiobook that resulted in 60 different chapter files. My itunes is a wreck because of all the small files.
Is there a way to group them to one file and not have them clutter up the main list of audio book files?
Is there a way to put all those little files into a playlist and not have them show is the main list of audiobook files?
Thanks

Reorganizing audio book chapters

I uploaded an audiobook that had 13 chapters. Somehow iTunes has reorganized the chapters to be in the following order: 1,10,11,12,13,2,3,4,5,etc. How do I get them back in the proper order? Thx for your time and assistance.

If all these tracks have the exact-same Artist (author of book) and Album (title of book), then the sequence will be governed by the Track Number boxes. Rightclick the first file, and choose Get Info. Enter a "1" in the first Track Number box, then click the Next button at the bottom of the window. Continue entering numbers and clicking Next until all the tracks are numbered. This should do the trick.
The Track Number logic is not perfect. Heaven knows there are hundreds of posts here about people perfectly filling out all fields and iTunes still puts things in the wrong order.

Audio Book chapters

Loaded an audiobook on an ipad mini and the chapter are out of order. Same audiobook on an ipod retains the proper order for the chapters. Is there a setting that needs to be adjusted?

How do I recover purchased audio books

I purchased the audio book the sum of all fears it was accidentally deleted and when I try to download it again in the purchased section of itunes only 2 of the 5 parts are available.

Hello
I solved my missing audio book problem. Here are some of the details.
The files were there on the HD but iTunes was not showing them infact there was no audio books shown. There was not even an audio book option in the iTunes window. All of my Audio books have been downloaded from the iTunes store to this machine. This is a glitch in the Leopard upgrade.
The good news is the resolution was simple enough. I had to re-authorize the iMac again and then all of the books showed back up and the audiobooks folder was visible in the iTunes window.
Researching the problem uncovered a problem that others may be having with fileformats of audiobooks that are purchased from a non itunes source or those downloaded from CD's This was not my problem since all of my books were purchased from the Apple iTunes store.

My audio book is missing chapters what do I do

My audio book is missing chapters what do I do?

Go to Itune, log into your account, go to Purchase History, it will show all of your purchase. Write down purchase order# numbers for those books. Email to the Itune costomer service with those order numbers and ask them to restore those purchase back to your account. They promtly replied by my emai. It was relatively easy and worth it.
