My audiobooks from itunes won't upload to my ipod 5th generation

Frustrating problem. I've tried everything they say to do online. I like my iPod but APPLE SERVICE *****. They make it too hard to find the answer and don't provide a number to call. Anyone else have this problem. You users are probably better at customer service than Apple.

Nope-never had a single issue with Apple care.

Newly downloaded movies from iTunes won't upload to my iPhone 3Gs, Newly downloaded movies from iTunes won't upload to my iPhone 3Gs

I recently downloaded both "Planes" and "Cars 2" from iTunes (available via the digital downloads included with the blu-ray discs of each) and neither will upload onto my iPhone 3Gs. The phone has other movies on it (and has plenty of room for new ones), but for some reason it completely ignores these 2 movies and won't upload them.

If you had a backup from before your old phone died, try using the backup (though if they are different models that probably won't work). Also, under the "Music" tab for your phone, make sure your choices are set so that they aren't excluding those songs. DRM might also be causing a problem. Finally, make sure the songs will play in iTunes and that they haven't been lost or anything. If you see an exclamation point by the song, it means iTunes can't find it. You'll have to manually tell it where the song is.

Itunes freezes when i put my ipod 5th generation in

i need help what can i do to fix this i open I tunes first then i connect my ipod by the usb then itunes freezes and doesnt detect the ipod in the source list can someone please help

Ever since I installed Snow Leopard I have been having syncing issues with my 5th Gen 80GB iPod. It first gave me an error that it could not read or write to the iPod. The music and podcast were able to write to the iPod but when it got to syncing my photos is when it failed. I then just yesterday installed iTunes 9 hoping it would help, which it didn't. I tried to do a restore of my iPod with iTunes 9 and it was able to erase the iPod just fine and when I went to sync it again it gets stuck at about 5GB completed. I have a total of about 60GB's that I am trying to sync, but even if I just sync a few things it still will give an error "Can't synce 80GB iPod because it can't be read or written to (error -50)."
So I am not sure if this is a Snow Leopard issue or iTunes issue. I don't think it is my iPod because it was working fine now for over 2 years. Even the small amount of 5GB that it did transfer will play just fine from my iPod.

I cannot get audiobooks from itunes page into OverDrive app on ipod Touch

I can download the audiobook in OverDrive WMA format onto the iTunes page and while iPod is plugged into computer I can listen to it only through the computer. It shows up in the Books category under my iPod section. I cannot however get it to download into the Over drive app actually on the iPod. Can anyone give me some suggestions please?

You must do a security update of Windows Media Player (even though you won't be using it) using Internet Explorer at http://drmlicense.one.microsoft.com/indivsite (the Windows Media Player Security Update is also in the Overdrive Tools menu, but I could not get it update). Once updated, with the iPod or other mobile device connected to your computer and iTunes open, go to the Summary pane for your iPod or other device in iTunes and click the "Manually manage music and videos" box.
Then go to Overdive, select the book, music or video and click the Transfer button. Select some or all the chapters you want to transfer. It will find the mobile device and begin.

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.

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.

I bought an audiobook from iTunes but it did not download properly how can I re-download it?

I bought an audiobook from iTunes but it did not download properly how can I re-download it on my computer? I have tried to get it to download to ipad but it won't do it. Please help?

Try:
If you rented it directly on the iPad then it should have downloaded into the Videos app - if you can't find it in there then have you got a film age rating set in Settings > General > Restrictions that is hiding it ?

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.

My songs from iTunes won't download, I went to the downloads tap and all seven of my new songs say "download error, tap to retry" and when I tap on one a message pops up saying " this song could not be downloaded at this time". What do I do?

My songs from iTunes won't download. I recently just purchased 7 songs and they took my money but now the songs won't download to my phone. I have gone to the download screen on the iTunes app and under each song it says "download error. Tap to retry". When I tap to retry a song a message pops up saying "this song could not be downloaded at this time." And it gives me two options. Either done or retry. I have tried to download them many times. I signed out and signed back in on iTunes, restarted my phone, and even checked for any updates. Nothing seems to be working. They charged the money from my card but now my songs won't download. What do I do?

Hello Bdev15,
I would be concerned too if the songs I purchased from iTunes were not downloading to my iPhone. You have taken some great troubleshooting steps already, and thank you for providing the details of the steps you too. I have a few additional suggestions to get it downloaded to your iPhone.
First, I recommend checking to see if the download was interrupted:
If your download was interrupted using your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
From the Home screen, tap the iTunes app.
For iPhone or iPod touch, tap More > Downloads. For iPad, tap Downloads.
Enter your account name and password if prompted.
Tap the blue download arrow to resume.

http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1725
If the songs still do not download, next I recommend downloading the songs when connected to another network. For example, if you are using the cellular network, you could switch to Wi-Fi, or you could try an alternate Wi-Fi network. Follow the steps in the section titled "iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch > Music" in the article below to download the songs:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

If you are still not able to download the songs, you can report an issue with these purchases using the steps in this article:

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

Invisible audiobooks from iTunes Store

What causes iTunes to discriminate between the Audiobooks and Music directories when downloading purchases from the iTunes Store?
I use the latest iTunes and update regularly. Software updates are automatic when connecting any device. I feel that the following issue concerned with audiobooks is not being addressed by Apple and it also appears this has always been an issue with the iShuffle (1st or 2nd generation). The normal routes of contact are only pushing out an Apple problem to the end user.
Creating a folder with a playlist that contains the selected files works without problem for most imports/purchases. But when an audiobook is downloaded from iTunes and is (automatically) sent to the audiobooks directory, this selection is invisible for synchronisation, although it appears correctly before sync. Should any download go to the Music directory it is seen and syncs OK with the iShuffle. Everything syncs with a 4G iPod regardless of the source (Audiobooks or Music). Dragging a playlist selection to the iShuffle device pane imports the file, but remains unplayable as though it is invisible or simply not recognised. The issue seems to be connected only with the iShuffle and downloads of purchases from iTunes Store to Audiobooks and not downloads to Music.
Some podcasts behave in a similar fashion, everything seems OK until they become invisible on sync/update. Or simply don't play on the iShuffle, but everywhere else.

Hi,
I've had the same trouble with the single audiobook I've purchased from iTunes, and tried to load onto my 5th gen. iPod. The results were as follows:
1) In my iTunes Library on my computer, it's shown as an Audiobook. So far, so good.
2) When my iPod is connected to the computer, and I click on the iPod icon to see what's on it, the Audiobook folder is of course there, and the audiobook I Purchased is indeed shown in the Audiobooks folder.
3) However, here's the problem: Eject the iPod from the computer and use the scroll wheel on the iPod and the the audiobook file only shows up in the Music/Artists/Genre/ etc. folders. The Audiobooks folder in the iPod is empty.
I suspect something isn't quite right, because I sometimes have the same trouble with Podcasts, but it's a rare occurance. I'll download a podcast from the iTunes store, and it will indeed sync to my iPod, but ONLY in the music folder, and not within the Podcasts folder on my iPod. Coincidence? Maybe. I'd say this happens about 2% of the time, BUT IT DOES HAPPEN.
By the way, the audiobook files I purchased from iTunes are ".m4p's", according to the "get info" window, so I assume they are indeed "iPod ready". .
I'd appreciate your comments, since your suggestion to follow the "...aldoblog...." thread wasn't really germane to the original question.
Thank you,
