Music app doesn't show audiobooks anymore

I used to listen to podcasts, audiobooks, and other recordings on my iPhone, but starting yesterday, the categories in the Music app changed so that I can't access these files anymore.
I tried to open them with other apps (Podcasts, Audible) and it didn't work either.
(to be clear: I can listen to audobooks from Audible in the Audible app; I can also listen to podcasts that I subscribed to in the Podcasts app; but if I download single episodes of podcasts straight from the websites or have other audio files that I declare as audiobooks in iTunes on my Mac and that show up there under audiobooks, there are the ones that don't show up anymore -- though when I connect my phone to the Mac and check from there it shows that the files are on the phone (though they are inaccessible via Spotlight too)).
Here a screen of what my Music app looks like now, the category "Audiobooks" just disappeared:

Which model phone do you have?
I have a 32 GB 4S and the alphate is visible on, Artist, Songs, Albums, Composers and Genres, not visible on compilations and playlists.
Sounds like you might need to take it to apple since you alreade did a restore.
I would hate to suggest this, but you might need to restore as new and see what happens before you restore from a backup.

I updated my iOS to 7 yesterday. But my music app doesn't show the 'Radio' button as the online videos and Apple website claims. What could be the reason and how to fix it. All other apps, swipe up/down seem to be working fine.

Try to connect in recovery mode, explained in this article:
iOS: Unable to update or restore
Before that, back up your device, explained here:

My weather app doesn't show the feels like temp or wind, etc. How can I fix this? I am running iOS 8.1.2.

is that really what it is? this is the native iphone weather app. the funny part is that when i use the actual weather channel app, it does provide it.
is this an api issue with the weather channel and the iphone then? i guess there's no fix?
thanks for your help by the way.

I can't open my iPod library in iTunes, the app doesn't show the device at all, no error message, nothing, but windows 8 opens it like it would a flash drive. It has worked for me before just fine and both have the most updated software versions.

IPhoto app doesn't show any photos from my photos app

I just upgraded my new iPad to iOS 6 beta. Maybe that's the problem but suddenly my iPhoto app doesn't show any photos at all. All the tabs (albums, photos, events, etc) are empty. When I open the app it says "updating photo library" briefly, but that's it. I tried rebooting, deleting the app and reinstalling it, basically everything I could. Is this a known iOs6 bug?

Ok, I have the release and I have the issue, photos are just boxes w no pictures, is there a way to remove library and reload? The photo app works fine and all pictures are there.

News feed on my Facebook app doesn't show the correct time. Can the time be set?

News feed on my Facebook app doesn't show the correct time. Can the time be set?

Does your phone show the correct time?
If not, change the time on your phone, see if it helps.
If it does, then sign out, sign back in. If that fails, the delete and reinstall. If that fails, then contact Facebook, as they're the developers of the app and will have the proper documentation to help you further.

Does anyone know how to get the notification screen in iOS 7 to show the weather? Not showing on my phone, and the weather app doesn't show in the notification dialog.

I am not seeing the weather in the notifications for 'today'. The weather app doesn't show up in the notifications dialog either. What to do?

First make sure that Weather is listed in Notification Center, mine is a the very end of the list. If it's not go below to the Do Not Include list and see if it's there. If it is manually turn it on to appear in the main list.
Now when I swipe down from the home screen I get the date and any Today events, and below that a weather forecast stating the high and low for the day. If none of that is showing try shutting down and restarting your phone and see if that appears also make sure the Weather app is on one of your home screens, launch it from there and that alone may set everything up.
The weather app is just not listed. I did a soft reset, no improvement. I'm at a loss for anything else to try. Since the app is a system app, I can't delete and reload it.
This is hardly an earthshattering problem, but it bugs me.

Our app doesn't show in some regions. Any ideas why?

Hello.
Our recently published Windows Phone app doesn't show in some regions.
The app is free. During the publishing I have selected "Distribute to all markets at the base tier".
But I can't see the app in Lithuanian, Latvian or Russian Windows Phone store. Any ideas why?
It is visible in other stores - USA, Germany, Poland, Spain, Belgium...
App name is "Kinetic Puzzle - Animals". Below are a few examples:
Visible:
http://www.windowsphone.com/en-us/search?q=kinetic+puzzle
Not visible:
http://www.windowsphone.com/ru-ru/search?q=kinetic+puzzle
Any ideas why? We have spent half of a day trying to find where is the problem, but with no luck. Any help highly appreciated.

Though its there, just not visible in search , try these :
For Russian marketplace :

For Latvian marketplace :
http://www.windowsphone.com/lv-lv/store/app/kinetic-puzzle-animals/ea5dd18e-147a-4ce8-8924-9052675935bf
You can obviously raise the issue on Windows Phone app store support.

Western digital hard drive doesn't show up anymore

I bought a Macbook Pro a few months ago and I've been using my Western Digital external USB hard drive with up until now with no problems. Then today for some reason, I turn my computer on and the drive doesn't show up anymore. It doesn't show up in disk utility either. I've rebooted a few times but no luck. I inserted a flash drive and it mounts ok so it's not the USB port. I even switched usb cables just in case the cable was bad. Any suggestions?

Hi there
Sorry to hear you are having trouble with your Mac.
Is the ext HD a powered drive (needs AC power to run) or portable? (smaller, doesn't need to be plugged in to AC)
If its AC powered, check that all the usual lights are lit up on it (flashing activity light, power light etc), if not, then you would need to contact WD.
You can also try resetting the SMC & PRAM, as I have seen this cause a HD to not mount before.
Cheers

Since updating to OS7 the video app doesn't show any titles for movies I have downloaded on my iPad. Anyone have the same problem or a fix?

Many users have solved the problem by syncing several times; and if that doesn't work, perform a simple restore. Your titles will come back.

Windows 7 Music Library doesn't show some of my album art all of a sudden. No solutions found!!

So my music files in my music folder on the computer still doesn't show the album art. some of the art covers still exist on the music files but newly downloaded and some music files that existed don't show the album art anymore.
I've tried most of the solutions online but none of them solved the problem. I don't think it's the media player because when I play it on the media player it shows the album art for the music. And I also cleared the cashe in the mediaplayer folder. There
must be something with the system because the folder showed the cover art before but all of a sudden it stopped displaying them.
I don't know what's wrong with it...is there something that makes the music album art not show all of a sudden and the album art doesn't show for the newly downloaded music as well...

Hi haydnan
It may be a problem of Windows 7 Explorer. First you can try all the different explorer views, title, Large icon..
If there is no effect, you can try to the following methods.
In Windows Explorer
1. left click on the mail folder where your music is stored and select it.
2. Now right click and go to “properties”.
3. Now click “advanced”.
4. Put a check in the “Allow files in this folder to have contents indexed in addition to file properties”.
5.Click ”OK”.
6.Click”Apply”.
7. Click “OK” to apply changes to this folder. Sub folders and files.
Now go to your music library and see if it works.

Music App no longer showing Artist view iOS6

In the Music app on iOS 6 I have accidentally changed the Artist column under More -> Edit to only include albums by Linkin Park. I am not sure how to revert to showing all Artists. Is there any way to reset the views? For some additional information, I am using iPhone 5 and iTunes match.

Just some additional information, I don't even see a way to change the tab names or what they include. I have no idea how I edited the Artist tab to only include linkin park. Is there anyway to edit the categories?

Console.app doesn't show up (window)

Hi,
a week or so after I've upgraded to 10.9.2 my console.app stopped opening any log file and it doesn't show even a (blank) window.
I checked the activity monitor and it seems to be working.
I've typed "tail -f /var/log/system.log" in a terminal window and opened the Console and it showed this lines:
        15 Foundation                          0x00007fff87c187ba -[NSNotificationCenter postNotificationName:object:userInfo:] + 68

After readind some posts I've deleted com.apple.console* from ~/Library/Preferences and /Library/Preferences but no luck.
Any idea how to solve this issue?

Not sure if this is a typo in your post but:

should be href= .......
