My Audible Enhaunced files no longer sync to my IPad2 since IOS 5

Anyone else have this issue: My Audible Enhaunced files no longer sync to my IPad2 since IOS 5
At first i could not get any new Audiobooks to sync but when I separated one of the MP3 Audiobook version files from the enhaunced Audible ones it synced  the MP3 audio book fine
I am running Itunes 10.5 on Mac OS Lion 10.7.2 and my Ipad2 has IOS 5
I am syncing via itunes on my iMac via a cable as usual
I can play my Audible files in Itunes, so my Audible Account is authorized.
I did not notice this at first as i was listening to a series and the current book i just finished was MP3 but the next was Audible ( the reason for this because of region issues aome books are not available in Australia as Audible but Amazon sells the MP3 version sometimes. so whilst most of my Audiobooks are Audible some are MP3 or CD depending on what I could get.
when i tried to sync it took a long time but no installing tracks was being listed.
to cut a long story short i wiped the Ipad2 and started to reinstall first the Apps then the music and movies and latly the Audiobooks . . .
When i reach the Audio books the problems started again so i tried an MP3 audio book on its own tried to add a Audible file and the sync went into limbo again.
Apples IOS has obviously broken the ability to sync Audible books I had no issues before this and i know the files are ok i listen to a few to check.
It obviously has something to do with Audibles enhaunced format / Audible authorization which worked fine until IOS 5

Update to the Audible sync issue:
I have been in contact with Audible and reported to Apple on this issue
So far many email replies from Audible . . . zero from Apple . . .
Below is Audibles reply
Dear Kelvin,
Thank you for all your information regarding the iPad since the Mac iOS update.
There are many iPad specific issues that have been caused by the iOS5 update. At this time, we are awaiting for Apple to resolve these issues. Apple has told us this issue will be resolved by the next update, although, this release date is still unknown. In the meantime, you will need to transfer your titles via the Audible application. I do apologize for this inconvenience.
I thank you for your patience during this time of inconvenience!
Sincerely,
Monica V.
Audible Customer Support
So in short if you have installed IOS5 and wish to transfer your Audible files to a device ( i assume this issue is not iPad 2 specific) you will have to wait on Apple to fix this issue which according to some developer post they were aware of during beta.   Eg you cant sync Audible books to you device via iTunes.
You will have to re-download/download any books you want to listen direct too the Audible App. on your device until Apple gets around to fixing this issue.
If you have to updated and want to sync to your computer i suggest you DON'T INSTALL IOS5 UNTIL APPLE UPDATES IT
Hope this helps
I know it's not a fix only Apple can do that . . . and it's an Audible issue which is not there product . . . . they just have a relationship with Audible. . .
Apple probably hopes people will buy their overpriced Audio books . . .
I have never under stood why anyone would when you can save at least 1/2 the cost and have a bigger selection available to you on Audible
Nuff Said
PS i know i spelt enhanced wrong on my first post but i don't think Apple allows editing of posts

  • Audible files no longer sync - cannot deauthorize Audible account

    After updating to the newest version of iTunes, my Audible purchases do not sync. They synced fine before.
    I have tried to deauthorize my Audible account but iTunes gives me an error stating "Could not deauthorize this computer because either your user name or password are invalid." I reset my password on the Audible site and tried to deauthorize via iTunes again but still no luck.
    So now I'm stuck and cannot listen to my audiobooks on my iPod. Any suggestions?
    Thanks!

    Try turning off Vista UAC and deauthorizing. Then you can turn UAC back on.

  • Messages on the Mac (10.8.4) no longer syncs with iMessages sent between iOS devices

    I've been running Messages on the Mac since the Beta, and I've always had messages sync to the Mac and all iOS devices. In the last week, the Mac no longer posts imessages... only messages sent from the Mac trigger the Messages app to start tracking the message thread.
    I've got my iphone number and three emails in both the Messages preferences (using my Apple ID) and on all of the iOS devices. So I should be receiving messages to four addresses (one phone number and three emails). I did get a new iPhone 5 on Wednesday, but the issue started prior to loading the new phone with my backup.

    Hi, Ralph. Thanks so much for taking the time to address my discussion. While your solution did not correct the problem, it did bring clarity that it's the Mac–not the iPhone or other iOS devices–that is the entity having trouble.
    While going through your solution steps on the iPhone, I decided that I should probably take the same actions on my iPad (Wi-Fi Only). When I turned to the iPad, I realized that both the iPad and the iPhone have remained in sync with all messages: only the Mac has not been posting some iMessages.
    So I did perform your solutions steps, but they did not have an effect on the Mac Messages. I then removed my Apple ID from Messages on the Mac, quit Messages, and Shut Down the Mac. After a few minutes, I started the Mac, launched Messages on the Mac, and activated an iMessage account using my Apple ID. No improvement on the Mac side was realized.
    I think I have the issue better isolated to... Messages on the Mac was not accepting iMessages sent to or received from my telephone number. I've always had my Messages preference set to Start Messages from my Phone number (and again on my iPad and iPhone Settings), so I'm not sure what changed.
    Once I triggered a new message on the Mac starting from my Phone number and being delivered to my Phone number, the Mac seems to have regained its knowledge of iMessages–originated from an iOS device using a phone number and being sent to a phone number–that should also be synced to Messages on the Mac. I'll keep an eye on it this week before closing this discussion.

  • Why don't purchased movies from iTunes USA and Italy no longer sync in my iPad2 and iPod touch 4?

    I used to be able to sync purchased movies from iTunes USA and Italy to my iPad 2 and  iPod touch 4. No more,  even before I upgraded to iOS6.

    - Transfer itunes purchases to the computer by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    - You can also redownload them by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    - When they are in your iTunes library, connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
    - Restore the iPod from that backup.

  • Closed captioning for video no longer works for iPhone 4 since iOS 5.0 update. Is there a fix for this?

    Closed captioning while video-playing is one of the coolest features of iOS devices. But for my iPhone (and an iPad user elsewhere from the Net), ever since I updated to iOS 5, the closed captioning icon no longer appear amongst the list of icons when you play a video WITH a closed caption capability.
    I have played videos with closed captions before prior to iOS updates and been having no problems till I tried with iOS 5.
    I tried turning the setting on/off in the Videos Settings, tried deleting and re-adding the video to the phone and also rebooted the phone.
    Hoped someone could find a fix for this. The community can try it on iOS 5 and see if it is also an issue for them since I haven't seen but rarely people having this issue i'm having.

    My son has a similar problem since updating to the latest software on his iphone 4. He can make calls but the other person can't hear him. Facetime and Skype work fine - so it must be the lower microphone that is the problem. He's had it checked at the Apple store in Chiang Mai but they won't fix it - he has to get it back to the UK for service. It's 2 months over the warranty period but having checked around it seems this problem is widespread and Apple need to sort it fast!
    I've updated mine and it's fine - but I'm gonna take out applecare before the warranty runs out as I'm not risking having a £495 phone that I can't use as a phone.
    I was thinking of buying one for my wife this Xmas but no way whilst they are having so many problems.
    COME ON APPLE - GET THIS FIXED WITH A NEW RELEASE ASAP!

  • Syncing issues with 4S since iOS 8 Update

    Any iPhone 4S owners having issues syncing to iTunes since "upgrading" to iOS 8?  I have a 32 GB phone and I've had make almost 12 GB available to even get the phone to sync.  I had to delete half my music library and a bunch of apps!!  I'm ******! 

    Hello DeanP92,
    It sounds like you have re synced your music to your phone but they still aren't being listed correctly. I would next unsync your music, quit the Music app:
    iOS: Force an app to close
    Double-click the Home button.
    Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
    Swipe the app up to close it.
    When you have done that reset the device and sync your content back one more time:
    iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Sterling

  • Can no longer sync Ipod to Itunes after upgrading to Itunes 7

    I can no longer sync Ipod to Itunes since upgrading to Itunes 7. When I try it freezes my Itunes and I have to force quit the application. Anyone else know how to solve this? Anyone else having this problem?
    Powerbook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    I have the 3rd generation IPod and I thought it happened when I dropped it, but after thinking about it it did happen the same time I switched to itunes v7.
    I have to stop the auto-sync and have the ipod completely restored each time. So when I want to update my ipod I have make it an hour adventure.

  • ITunes/iOS no longer syncs .PSD files?

    So I've recently updated my iPod Touch 4 and iTunes to their latest versions, on Windows 7.  I'm not sure which update caused the issue, but iTunes is no longer syncing my PSD files created in Photoshop Elements 7 to the iPod.  I tried to delete the Photo Cache but to no avail.   Prior to doing that, iTunes didn't actually erase any PSDs; it just didn't add my new ones.  Now all of my photos are deleted from the iPod, and now NONE of my PSD files will sync.
    How can I resolve this?  My PSD files are very important to me, and I do not want to have to save them in a PSD AND a JPG just to sync the former format to my iPod for viewing.

    I've had exactly the same issue with my iPhone 3GS and iTunes 10.4.  I reported it to Apple and was told it was likely an error that crept into 10.4 and to expect a fix in an upcoming release of iTunes.  I'm waiting for that to happen still...

  • Why is my iCloud no longer syncing files?

    I have noticed over the past several days that my word documents are no longer syncing between my devices, particularly my macbook and macbook air. I've checked for updates, and it presents to be occuring only across word, powerpoint, excel etc and began following the recent power outages on the east coast..I'm sure it is something simple, but....
    HELP!

    You said your files were "no longer" syncing, from which I infer that they were syncing at some time in the past. My question is what you were using to sync the files when it was working.
    As I said earlier, iCloud doesn't do general file syncing. That was a feature of the (now closed) MobileMe subscription service, but Apple chose not to carry it forward into the iCloud service.
    There are several other systems on the market for syncing files. DropBox and SugarSync come to mind. DropBox is a lot like what iDisk could have been.

  • Keynote File Burned to iDVD - Slides no longer synced with Music

    Hi ....
    I carefully prepared a keynote presentation where the slide timings and music were carefully synced and it all ended together ...
    However ... after I send it to IDVD ... the slides now play faster than when I originally set them up in Keynote ... so the music goes on when the slides are over now. So it's no longer synced.
    When i first "send to idvd" I use "fixed timing" because I just want the dvd to play automatically. With this option it asks for slide duration and build duration. Why is it doing this ? ... I have already done this in Keynote itself. I'm wondering if this is the source of the problem.
    I checked the Quicktime file that is generated for iDVD to burn ... and it's the same thing there .. so it's somehow happening when exporting to Quicktime I guess ...
    Any ideas ....? Thanks ...

    Hi there ...
    For anyone having a similar problem or is curious ... I managed to find a way to make sure that my audio and video sync.
    I don't know if this is a bug in Keynote .. or whether i did something wrong .. but here is how I fixed it.
    I added a voice recording over the slideshow. I didn't really want anyone narration ... but I noticed that with the recording selection that the stupid slide transition and build transition timings don't come up. So I just set the input volume at 0 in systems prefs ... ran the show recording nothing ... and when I exported it ... the soundtrack i had originally attached and the slide show was perfectly synced as it began in Keynote ..
    Whatever .....

  • My Audible books are suddenly no longer syncing to my iPhone 5

    Does anyone know why this is happening and how I can fix it?

    If you are directly buying from audible, download the audible app and use it.
    It works better than iOS music player.

  • IPod will no longer sync with iTunes

    I started a thread before about how I could no longer sync the e-books I added to my iTunes account to my iPod touch. I'd found a workaround by e-mailing the books to myself and then opening them in iBooks on my iPod.
    Now however I'm having the same issue with ALL THE CONTENT in my iTunes account. It still recognizes my device. I HAVE updated iTunes and my iOS (my iPod touch is 4th generation so I don't have/can't get iOS 7). I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes altogether. I have made sure the right boxes are clicked before syncing. It will go through the sync but the part where it says it is adding the files and shows them adding individually never happens. It just jumps to step 4 finishing and then when I check it never appears on my iPod. This is frustrating. What point is having an iPod if I can't USE it? It's basically a $200 paper weight. And YES I'm using the same apple ID, the same computer, etc. I've always used and I never had any problems before until a few months ago. It just stopped working. I've done most of the things suggested in all the other support threads I've read about similar issues and nothing has worked. Obviously lots of people are having this issue but from what I can tell the suggestions people are offering don't seem to help them.
    So I guess I'm just putting this out there in the hopes that someone has a new idea to offer that will actually work? If not, does anybody wanna buy a 4th generation iPod touch?

    I did restore from back-up as well. And I had thought of restoring my iPod to factory settings however...I just got my mother-in-law's old iPhone 3GS. Upon getting it from her I restored it to factory settings. After having the problems tonight syncing my iPod to iTunes I tried syncing the iPhone. It started out fine, showing it as a new device and setting it up. It shows both devices on my iTunes and then when I went to sync it I got the error message that none of the songs could be copied from my iTunes because they could not be found. But they all clearly show up in my iTunes. I had done this before when I was having the issue with my books and then I had deleted them all from iTunes and readded a few that I wanted to put on my iPod and it still wouldn't sync them. So I really don't want to take absolutely everything off my iPod and restore it to factory only to be unable to add anything from my iTunes ever again as is the case with the iPhone.

  • 2-3 old ipod touch is no longer syncing to itunes library, which was recently moved to new laptop.

    Recently moved my library of music, audiobooks, and podcasts to new laptop with Windows 8, at which time I upgraded my itunes software as well. My 2-3 year old ipod touch is no longer syncing properly. Audiobooks and podcasts are fine (after much effort), but all of two songs out of an extensive music library are the only ones syncing. I see them in my library on the new computer and have managed to sync them to my iphone 5 as well. Ipod touch appears to have ample file storage space left. What gives? Is the i-pod touch already useless with the latest Itunes software? Operator error? Hardware problem? I don't know what to think. Have been using ipods for years without this issue.

    Salut, et un accueil chaleureux aux forums!

  • HT201412 Voice Memos quits/can no longer sync iphone 4 - linked problem

    Voice Memos quits after two seconds of opening AND can no longer sync phone iphone4 to itunes, tried resetting, but don't want to restore phone to factory settings as I have important recordings I want to use. Help!!
    I've taken itunes off computer and downloaded it again (suggested by other forum). No joy...
    The two problems seemed to happen simultaneously.

    diesel vdub - thanks for your comment.
    As noted in my post:
    "Another problem is that I have thousands of music files on my iPhone, and only 180 songs are now showing up in the iTunes library. The majority of songs in both iTunes library and the music library on my iPhone are not purchased - they come from a large CD collection."
    The hesitation comes from the fact that the number of songs that show up in my iTunes library is a small percentage of the number songs that were previously in the iTunes library.  My understanding is that if I sync the content of my iTunes library to the iPhone, I will end up losing thousands of songs that are currently on my iPhone but not in iTunes.
    If I could find where the other songs went (and why iTunes is no longer seeing those song files) then perhaps I could load those back into iTunes and the risk of syncing will disappear.
