Mixing music and audio books

Is it possible to mix music and audio books on the same iPod and yet shuffle the music but not include the audio books when playing? If so how do I do it?

You can right-click on an audiobook, choose Get Info,
and checkmark "Skip when shuffling" on the Options
tab. This is not necessary on true audiobook files
(.aa, .m4b), as those are skipped automatically, but
it's useful for mp3 files.
As my 4 year old dog used to say, "Well, I knew that!"
Thanks Craig!

  • Can you transfer music and audio books between computers via home sharing?

    I just reformatted my iMac and would like to restore some music and an audio book from my MacBook Pro. Somehow, I got the audio book onto my MacBook Pro, which was originally downloaded to my iMac, but now I can't seem to transfer it back.
    Thanks,
    Paul

    I figured it out. Home sharing was not activated on the iMac, even though I could see both computers on each computer. I tried to transfer all my music from the iMac to my MacBook Pro before I wiped everything off the iMac, but couldn't figure it out. I with I knew that before I reformatted it. I do, however, however, have everything backed up on disks. iTunes is one of the most confusing programs I've ever used...

  • New Iphone 4 syncs everything BUT my music and audio books when I sync?

    Hi
    I bought a new iphone 4 to replace my 3gs. None of my music or audiobooks that show on itunes on my computer will sync with the new phone. I had them all on my old iphone. My new iphone is recognized when I sync. Ideas?

    As with others I have lost all my contacts since the recent update. I have tried to backup but it didn't work (much as I expected as the backup was done after the update). So I really don't know what to try next, if there is anythign to try next? I have checked iTunes and I have never had the sync Contacts box ticked and I have tried finding something on the computer itself, but this is where my technical skills fail me as I really don't know where to look or what to look for.
    Have I lost all contacts and therefore need to input manually, or is there something left to try?
    Many thanks.

  • Can only sync calendar and contacts...not music or audio books

    I have an itouch that I was only able to fully sync once. Then I could no longer sync music or audio books. I updated all software and then did a full restore on my itouch. Still no success. I have tried this on three different computers that I have used with (no problems) my older ipods but I cannot get this sync to work on any of them.
    When I sync, I get a message on the itouch that a "sync is in progress". However, no music or audiobooks are transferred. Only calendar and contact info is synced. I checked the itunes settings for the itouch and they are set to sync all songs and playlists.
    Spent several hours scouring troubleshooting hints to no avail. Please help!

    Are you sure you do not have your ipod set to manually manage music and videos on the ipod summary screen?

  • How to play stereo mix music and sing in my mic at the same time?

    Hi guys, need help regarding Realtek HD audio driver
    I want to play stereo mix music and sing in my mic at the same time.... not for recording purposes but in chatroom let's say.
    I'm using XP...Toshiba Satellite S4747 laptop
    In the Realtek software under " Realtek HD audio input" I have mic and stereo mix both.... but I can only select one at a time.....
    Any solutions plzzz thxxxx
    On a different note.... a friend of mine whose using one non-Toshiba laptop with win XP has an older version of the Realtek audio driver and can select both mic and stereo mix at the same time... I downloaded that version into my laptop but I still can only select one at a time....

    Check the audio settings in Windows and dont forget in Realtek HD audio manager. You can find it in control panel.
    I think your microphone is set to mute so check this.

  • I just purchased extra storage for my iCloud.  How and where do I access it?  I purchased movies and audio books to find out that I didn't have enough storage (the reason for the extra storage purchase).  I have no idea where to find them now.  Help?!

    How do I use my iCloud???
    I purchased 4 movies and 2 audio books from iTunes only to find out my iPad2 didn't have enough storage, so I purchased more storage from iCloud. 
    My iTunes account only shows the 4 movies that need to still be downloaded (not the two books)  After purchasing 20GB from iCloud I am still receiving the  "There is not enough available storage.  You can manage your storage in Settings" message.  I have gone to my Settings, where it shows I have the new, extra storage.  I have set all the iCloud settings as shown on the Apple website.  In my iCloud settings, it shows I have 17GB available out of 25GB.   In my General settings, it shows that I have a capacity of 28.6 GB, while my Available is 2.9GB.  (????)
    I don't know why I still can't download the movies.  I wouldn't know where to go (how to get to) the iCloud if I could...
    Also, iTunes has sent me receipts for the movies and audio books I purchased as well.  Where are they???
    Thank you SO very much for any assistance you can offer me!

    Cancel your storage upgrade
    If you upgrade or renew your storage but no longer need it, you can cancel. If you cancel your storage plan within 15 days of an upgrade or within 45 days after a yearly payment, you can contact Apple for a full refund. After this period, you can downgrade your storage for the following year.
    Note:  Partial refunds are available where required by law.

    Since I purchased about $70 worth of movies and books and they won't load onto my iPad, do you think iTunes will refund my money?
    If you make more room on your Device perhaps you can View/ use the purchases...
    However if you would prefer a Refund... you can always ask... be sure to explain your situation...

  • I recently bought a 4th generation ipod shuffle.  Am I able to have both music and audio podcasts loaded on it at the same time?

    I have not been able to include both music and audio podcasts on my shuffle at the same time. Is this possible with the shuffle?

  • Chapter markers missing in podcasts and audio books

    With my new 5th gen iPod the chapter markers are gone from  both podcasts and audio books. Anyone able too tell me how you get them back?

    Do the podcasts on your iPod also appear under the podcasts menu?
    Unfortunately, it is perfectly normal for them to appear under artist and album on your iPod. The tags on the podcasts identify an artist and an album and they get added to those lists. Not sure why this is not reflected in iTunes.

  • How to I have one iTunes library that enables me to keep my music on my laptop, and my podcasts and audio books on a separately mapped hard drive?

    I'd like to enjoy ONE iTunes library on my laptop, which isn't big enough to store all my content, so I'd like my single iTunes library to have a LOCAL drive portion for my music, and then - when I'm at home, have my iTunes library be able to ALSO include a large library of podcasts & audio books.
    I currently have TWO iTunes libraries - a big one on a big drive at home, and a not-so-big on on my laptop.   This is, of course, a nightmare, because I have to resynch my iPod to use one or the other.    
    Ideally, I'd like to transfer content from my home PC iTunes OR my laptop iTunes - to my iPod and iPhone.     But I can only use one or the other library.     So, I guess the next best thing is - how to do this? - have an iTunes library on my laptop and then, when I have access to my home network, be able to see additional iTunes content - books and podcasts.    I need this in order to transfer books etc. to my iPod/iPhone, as well as music.
    Any suggestions?      In this regard - Windows is way the heck easier to manage than iTunes.
    thanks
    Jim

    Use your computer's backup to transfer your iTunes library from your old computer to your new computer per the instructions included with this link, or do the same with both computers networked in some fashion, which shouldn't be hard to do if both computers are connected to the same wireless network.
