I had the same problem after installed the latest iPod update. Revert back to 1.0 and that should fix it.

  • My 2nd generation ipod touch will not play audio books

    My 2nd generation ipod touch will not play audio books. How do I fix this? I downloaded the books from iTunes on my computer. I loaded them on my ipod. It shows them on my ipod. It will go to the menu where you can choose which book and then actually pulls up the book then acts like it is going to play. Then it just goes back to the list of books. It won't play any of them. It will play music though.
    How do I fix this?

    The books do play in iTunes on the computer, right?
    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Unsync all music and audion book and resync
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • IPod Shuffle has started playing audio books and podcasts too fast.

    iPod Shuffle has started playing audio books and podcasts too fast.  What can be done?

    Some other iPods (that are not shuffles) have an onboard setting to change the playback speed for some types of iTunes media, such as audiobooks.  But a shuffle has no screen, to change such settings.
    First, do this to reset the shuffle, if you have not already
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1655
    If that does not help, you may want to do a Restore on the shuffle.  The Restore button is on the shuffle's Summary screen in iTunes.  This will erase the shuffle, reinstall its software, and set it to default settings.  The shuffle will be like it was when new, so this problem should be fixed.

  • Does anyone know if the Apple Ipod 6th generation will play audio books from MP3 Format?

    Does anyone know if the Apple IPod 6th Generation will play Audio Books formated in MP3?  Thank you.

    It'll play MP3 files. Import them into an iTunes library and transfer them to it.

  • The option to play audio book has gone after IOS6 update audio books are on the iphone

    Hi since updating to IOS6 I seem to have lost the ability to play Audiobook, if I go to the Ipod app the option isn't there and hen I connect to my car it says the folder is empty. Is there something I need to do to be able to play audio books. The audible app finds all the books so I know they are there, but doesn't work in the car where I like listening to books on long journeys.

    anilsudhakaran Thanks!  This did the trick.  I guess this was added with the update since this view used to be visible for me without the added step.  Greatly appreciated 

  • Does nano muilti touch play audio books?

    Does the newest nano multi touch play audio books?

    You've wandered into the forum for creating podcasts: I don't have one of these devices so I can't answer your question. The best place to ask would be in the iPod Nano forum.

  • How can I get my audio book back on my ipad?

    How can I get my audio book back on my ipad?
    After syncing with itunes on the pc, my newly purchased audio books vanished from the ipad, and I can't copy it back! I've tried copying the audio book back into the library, but that didn't help.
    Also couldn't get iTunes on my iCloud! there was no where to select on the icloud dashboard so that I can add iTunes ... Help!

    Audiobooks are not currently available for repeat download from iTunes in the Cloud. Your audiobook should have transferred to your iTunes library when you synced your device.
    You will need to contact support through the "Report a problem" links in your account history, or via Contact Support.

  • Iv lost the files to play audio books iv tried to and found them locate files but that dont work

    iv lost the files to play audio books iv tried to and found them locate files but that dont work

    I'm going to take a wild guess and say that you have a SATA controlled hard drive. Apparently, there's some kind of bug with SATA disks and Vista and Quicktime/itunes video...and possibly Nvidia is involved as well.
    The workaround is sticking the video on a flash drive in order to play it (because that avoids the SATA controller and thus bypasses the issue). It's a crappy workaround, IMO...and I'm not spending another cent on iTunes videos until the issue is actually fixed.

    I use my iPod for audio books.  How do I delete books from the iPod after I have listened to them?

    Hello ListenIt,
    While the following was written for the iPhone, the process should be the same on your iPod Touch.
    Remove a song from iPhone. Tap Songs, swipe the song, then tap Delete. The song is deleted from iPhone, but not from your iTunes library on your Mac or PC, or from iCloud.

  • I use my IPod for Audio Books, how do I 'fast forward', I use my IPod for Audio Books, how do I 'fast forward'

    I use my IPod for Audio Books, how do I 'fast forward',

    While listening to an audiobook, click the Center button twice to reveal the scrubber bar. Use the scroll wheel (like you do to move up and down the menus) to fast forward or rewind through the audiobook or audiobook track.

  • Playing Audio Books On My Video iPod

    I have a new 80 gig video ipod. I puchased an audio book from iTunes. The book downloaded to my computer just fine and I can play the book on my computer. File is located in the Audio Book folder and is in the M4B format.
    The book is on my iPod, located in the Audio Book folder. When I select the file to play, it shows that it is playing for about 3 seconds and then goes back to the main menu. It never starts playng.
    Further, whenever I sync my computer and iPod, the play count keeps going up. It now says that I have played the file over 30 times when in fact, I haven't heard one word of it.
    I hope someone can help.

    I posted about this problem yesterday as I was having the same problem. I contacted iTunes customer service using their email form on that page. I heard back from them in about 10 hours. They authorized me to download the book again. It plays like a charm now.
    Apple has superb customer service. I was treated with courtesy and promptly each time I contacted them about this problem and a couple of more issues that were my stupidity.
    I'm very pleased with Apple! !

  • 2nd Gen (Touch Wheel) won't play audio book from iTunes Music Store

    I have a 10GB Touch Wheel iPod (2nd Gen). Software version 1.5.
    I recently purchased the unabridged version of The DaVinci Code from the iTunes Music Store. The 7-part audio book plays just fine on my iBook and on my daughters' Nanos but it does not play on my older iPod.
    What happens when I choose the first part on my older iPod is that you can see it cycle through parts 1-7 without playing anything and then returns to the main menu.
    I don't have problems with other music or previously purchased audio books.
    Any thoughts or suggestions are appreciated.

    I figured it out on my own... somehow my device got switched to "shuffle" mode. I have no idea how that happened, but there you go. Since I never use it in that mode, it never occurred to me to check that. Sigh. I switched it back to 'play in order' mode and now it is just fine.

  • Problems playing Audio Books

    I have purchased and downloaded 2 audio books from iTunes, when I try to play them back I select 'Audio Books' on the iPod and then get a message saying "No Audio Inputs" and I cannot access the audio books. Any suggestions?

    Unfortunately, I have so many audiobooks I can't utilize the Audiobooks option under Music tab for the iTouch. In order to transfer an audiobook I want to listen to I create a playlist containing the book of interest and transfer by checking the corresponding playlist.

  • Playing Audio Books on Shuffle 4th gen

    I just got the new shuffle - wanted something really easy to operate for listening to my audio books at the gym. One button stop/start is great. However, found that if I accidentally hit the fast forward button (like when I am unclipping) it goes back to the beginning of the book - and there is no way to advance within the book. It is treating it like one giant track. The only way I can get back to where I was is to sync it back with iTunes on my laptop since I can advance the playback in iTunes.
    Is anyone using shuffle for audio books and is there a way around this problem? It seems like there is very little control on the shuffle - I am not complaining - it is what it is and it is only 49 bucks)
    But if there is some way i can break the book into chapters (on my iPod touch it has individual chapters and fast forward jumps through the chapters) or if there is some magic combination of double clicks that will do the trick I would love to find that out.
    Thanks

    If you press and hold the fast forward or rewind button, it will scan forward through the current track. That at least will let you get where you want to be quicker, without having to reconnect to itunes.
