My Audiobooks show in my Books folder and won't sync to ipod touch

I have a number of audiobooks purchased from iTunes Store. Previously on iTunes (Windows PC) these showed in the left pane under Audiobooks. At some point this folder became Books, and also includes some .epub type ebooks. This did not stop the audiobooks syncing as audio files to my iPod though.
However I have recently upgraded my PC to Windows 7, in order that I could get iTunes 10.6, in order that I could my iPod up to IOS5.1!!! (old Windows Vista would not update iTunes). Following this?
Now though, when I sync, the audiobooks dont sync across. The ebooks do but not the audio files. In effect the audiobooks are in the wrong folder, they should be in an Audiobooks folder but there isnt one any more. I tried to create one under File>Library>Organise Library but it wont do it, the option is greyed out. I note when viewing through Windows Explorer that the files are actually in a Windows sub-folder marked Audiobooks, they have the right file extensions etc.
So, why do they show up under Books? Why dont I have an Audiobooks folder? How can I recreate one and move my audiobook files there? Help please!

Audiobooks now sync from the Books tab when your device is connected. If you have a small screen you may need to scroll down the page to see the options.
See Audiobooks on iPods for tips on organising multi-track audiobooks.

I have a new computer and need to sync my iPod touch. I get a message telling me that all existing apps and their data will be replaced with apps from this iTunes library. Does that mean I lose all game progress?

Yes.
What you need to do is Transfer the iTunes Library from your Old computer to your New computer...
Copy your ENTIRE iTunes FOLDER to an External Drive... and then from the External Drive to your New Computer..
Backup iTunes to an External Drive

An Added Bonus is that you will have a Backup of iTunes.

After I updated to iTunes 9.0.3.15 I tried to sync my iPod Touch. All went well until this error message popped up; "Some of the items in the iTunes Library, including "headstrong", were not copied to the iPod "Sam's iPod" because you are not authorized to play them on this computer." ok so I go and authorize it type in my PW and Apple ID correctly and get this error message!; "We could not complete your iTunes Store request. The file or directory is corrupt and unreadable. There was an error in the iTunes Store. Please Try Again later."
I run diagnostics and this is what I got and pass all the tests except for the CD in the drive, could anyone please help? It won't allow me to sync any apps to my iTouch and half of my purchased music.

Are you on a Mac? I found this [Type -36 error (I/O Errors (bummers)|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2433]
This file is having difficulty while either reading from the drive or writing to the drive. The file
may have been improperly written data to the drive or the hard drive or disk may be damaged.
This is almost always indicative of a media error (hard error on the disk). Sometimes (rarely) it is transient.
Solutions: Try copying the file to another drive. Use a disk recovery software, such as Disk First Aid to examine the disk. You can try rebooting with all extensions off. Once in a while this will allow you to read the data. The file in question should be restored from a backup that was stored on a different disk. Regular backups can reduce the time to recover from this error.
Hope that helps.

Changed computers and needing to sync my iPod Touch to new computer

My iPod Touch was used on my old iMac and now I am connecting it to my new iMac. I want to move my current songs from my iPod to my new iMac but I can't figure out how to do it.

Why not use Migration assistant to move the entire itunes over so you will be syncing as normal from the new computer?

Photocast messes up the picture order of the album and won't sync w/ iPod

I spent a lot of time organizing a couple of hundred pics in chronologic order and everything looks fine when viewed in iPhoto on my computer. Then I photocasted the pics to family and myself so I could view it on a different computer. Well, all the pics are in the wrong order on the Photocast. Plus, the album now won't sync with my iPod. I duplicated the album and then it would go to my iPod, however, all the pics are in the wrong order just like the Photocast.
I ended up unpublishing the album, deleting the messed up copy album and then everything was fine again on the iPod.
Any way to preserve the exact order of the pictures in the album and get it to still copy onto the iPod? Is this just a bug?

I got through to Apple tech support to a guy who was nice enough, but was clearly just searching the database to answer the question (like I already had on the Internet) and he didn't really understand my questions completely. Initially I got the feeling he was just going to tell me- sorry he couldn't answer my questions, until I asked him if he could please ask a supervisor or someone else.
Bottom line, photocasting will put your pictures in order by date and cannot be changed unless you manually change the date in the info section of iPhoto for each picture. So all the effort in rearranging pictures doesn't matter unless the dates are chronologic.
I have no intention of manually changing the dates of over 1,000 family pictures I have scanned into the computer over the last 5 years. Oh well, at least the real date is in the title of each picture I imported.
He said he couldn't find anything on why a photocasted album wouldn't sync with the iPod. So I said, "Did you ask anyone else?", then he put me on hold and said he would try and find out.
The answer to the 2nd question is that No-shared libraries/photocasted albums will not copy over the iPod. You would have to duplicate the album, but then you may lose any arranging you've done (again the pics will be ordered by date if by digital camera or date imported if scanned).
I now know that any scanned pictures will have to have manually changed dates. I am too lazy right now to go back and fix years of scanning and importing. I just won't use Photocasting for now and hopefully in the future there will some sort of Preference choice on how to sort the photos other than date.

Ipod touch 2nd gen stuck on low battery screen and won't turn on, Ipod touch 2nd gen stuck on low battery screen and won't turn on

My ipod touch was working fine until yesterday it just shut off with about half of charge left. I tried holding the power and home button but nothing. When I plug it into the charging wall outlet the low battery screen pops up and same goes for when I plug it into iTunes on my computer. I let it alone overnight to see if the battery would drain but same thing happened today. What should I do?

I have never seen this answer before but here's what worked for me and I found it accidentally.
I have an iPhone and an iPad and I only had 1 charger (my only Apple cord didn't work anymore so I had thrown it out and I thought maybe that was the problem, except my iphone charged fine with my pink cord) by my bedside, so I would just hook up the one that needed it the most before I went to bed. Well one day I woke up to find that my iPad had a low battery, with the red battery picture. When I plugged it into the charger, it just kept recycling to the Apple logo and then the spinning wheel of death, and back again.
I did some research and couldn't figure it out. People who thought it was a dead battery still had the same problem after they sent it in and got a new battery My iPad is not jail broken and half the "solutions" were over my head. I have over 1300 apps on my iPad, not to mention thousands of pictures, that I was just feeling so bereft and sad that I might have lost everything. So I just let my iPad sit, and drained the whole battery down to the nubbin. It was 2-3 days without a charger that I just let it sit.
Then I put it on the charger again and I noticed I still got the red battery symbol, but the red was a thinner slice. I went to work and left it on the charger all day. When I returned, one of my FB notifications came on and bam, there it was, my sign on screen or whatever it's called, where you slide the thingy across. And it was back!!!!!!
So I was overjoyed. I'd also had a problem syncing with a warning that it overloaded my USB port. It was a separate problem, but I was able to sync it after that, and my iPhone too, so I was ecstatic.
Then the battery thing happened again about a week later. I thought I had been diligent about keeping it charged but it went down after only a day off the charger. Realized that I had FB and mail notifications notifying me in the startup screen, so that it was constantly turning itself on and off. I have almost 5000 FB friends and 10 email accounts, so that was a lot of steady activity that I wasn't really aware of. I have now turned off all notifications to every app, since they also come on my phone AND I bought a 2nd cord, a purple one, so now I'm set and don't expect to ever have that problem again.
Hope this helps everyone who thought they had a brick.

How do you remove an app mistakenly uploaded if it was meant for iphone only and won't load on iPod Touch?

I uploaded an iPhone app to my iPod Touch by mistake, and of course it won't load, but it keeps trying. I can't remove it when I sync to the computer because no "x" appears on the darkened app. Is there another way to remove the app?
Thanks for your help.

Pianoperson,
Try removing the App from iTunes and resyncing your iPod. If that works, you can go ahead and redownload the application. Just make sure to not to sync it to your iPod touch.

I have Windows XP and can't sync my Ipod Touch with itunes. Gives error 13019. I did all the recommendations recommended, including unchecking the sync and resyncing all the music, but it came up again. No voice memos or videos checked. Help! Please!

Again, I went through the "fixes" recommended, but none of them have worked. Please help! I can't get any of my new music that I just bought onto my Ipod! It fails at the last second with that 13019 error code even after removing all the music and re-syncing. Thanks.

Thank you, but I did that. I de-selected and then re-selected but because the 13019 still won't allow the sync, all it did was completely delete everything on my Ipod! I now have no songs on my Ipod when at least before, I had all my songs but the new 12 songs! I'm freaking!

New iMac, now contacts and cals won't sync to iPod Touch

After migrating from a G4/Tiger to an iMac/Snow Leopard on Friday, I have experienced many keychain and permissions-related problems. I have been able to solve all except one. It involves iTunes not syncing Info (contacts, cals, etc). I have tried everything under the sun and still cannot make it work. I have compiled a detailed account of the problem with screen shots here:
http://bit.ly/7YmE4S
If anyone has ideas, please post. I have not been able to arrange a support call with apple yet because it keeps getting rejected and I am told to try again later.

I set up a new standard user to see if iSync problem was solved and it was. Remember, I could not open iSync AT ALL in my current user account. I erased my iPod and synced it with the new user and it worked. At that point, I got fully committed to transferring my files over to the new user instead of piddling with more solutions that might or might not work for this and a variety of other issues that came up during migration. (Nothing against your suggestion which I am sure is a very good one...I am just tired of jumping through hoops with no results at this point and thought a fresh start was in order.)
Anyway, all seems well now. The new user account seems to have cleared everything up except for the printing, but that is due to apple dropping appletalk support, so I will have to tackle that in a different way. Transferring my files to a new user was not as laborious as I thought because most apps have export/import. I am still looking for a way to change permission to large batches of files/folders that are nested. "Apply to enclosed items" does not do the trick.
Thanks again for the assistance.

After iOS5 update apps blink and don't open and music content is gone and won't sync onto iPod

When you look at the storage usage of the iPod in iTunes (the colored bargraph) , how much is in the "other" category? If very large yu will have to restore you riPod to get it down to is normal less than about 1/2 GB.

Apps won't sync for Ipod Touch 5th gen and Itunes 11

I need some suggestions on how to fix this. I have removed and reinstalled itunes with no success.
I updated Itunes and now I can't sync apps on the ipod. I am manually selecting the apps. It syncs apps for another 4th gen ipod but wont for the newer one.
It will sync music but not apps.

Yes I have synced before with no problem to the new Ipod.
Music is syncing okay.
In the APP tab in itunes it thinks it has synced the apps, they just haven't actually appeared on the ipod.
The apps have synced to an older ipod.
I updated Itunes, I was going to try to go back to the earlier verision of Itunes but because of another issue (no hard drive space) I deleted my restore points and can't get back earlier itunes.

ITunes updated and no longer syncs with iPod Touch 4th gen

On January 26, 2014, I updated my iTunes software. After doing so, my iPod Touch 4th gen no longer syncs with or is recognized by iTunes. Reinstalling iTunes has not worked. I suspect that this is a problem created by the iTunes update.

I have purchased podcasts on itunes and they show up in the podcast library, but when I sync my ipod touch they will not go on to the ipod itself? any help?

I have purchased podcasts on itunes and they show up in the podcast library,
but when I sync my ipod touch they will not go on to the ipod itself?
any help?

Are you positive these podcasts are configured to sync to your iPod Touch? Have you double checked the configuration for podcasts from under the iPod's Podcasts configuration tab in iTunes?
To access this tab, plug your iPod in and click on its name from under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes. This will bring you to the iPod's Summary tab. Locate the Podcasts tab along the top and select it. Here you can choose how and what podcasts sync to your iPod.
