My mac won't sync an audio book that I just purchased to my ipod shuffle

I just purchased an audio book on itunes.  It doesn't sync onto my ipod shuffle.

If it's an Audiobook, then it's probably in the Audiobook section of your iPhone. Have you set your iTunes to Sync Audiobooks with your iPhone?
Alternatively, if the Audiobook was imported into your iTunes Library as as Music, then it's going to be in the Music section of your iPhone. If so, then it will be in the Music section of your iTunes Library. To move it to the Audiobooks section, select it in the Library and choose File/Get Info/Options>Media Kind where you can change it.
You can change it to a Podcast, but since something is only a Podcast if it is delivered to your iTunes as a Podcast download (which is a process for delivering files without you having to go and find them), then your audiobook is not a Podcast and you may forget (in the future) how you obtained the book in the first place

  • Do audio books downloaded from itunes play on my ipod shuffle?

    I bought a book for $17.95 and it says it downloaded it but it won't play. HELP!

    If you cannot get your audio books to play on your 4th gen shuffle, hit play. While songs are playing hold down your VOICE OVER button until you hear names of songs and keep holding it. When you hear the title of your audio book or podcast you wish to hear release the VOICE OVER button. Hit PLAY one time. I spent 50+ minutes with apple support & they were finally able find out about the VOICE OVER button. Wish that was on the directions in the first place.

  • Why won't the whole song play that I just purchased from iTunes?

    I just purchased 23 new songs from the iTunes store. There are quite a few of them that will not play the entire song before moving to the next song. For example, the one song reads that it is 3:24 long yet it will only play for the first 1:11. It then switches to the next song in the playlist no matter what I do. What is wrong???

    If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copy of the track and try redownloading a fresh one. See the following document for instructions:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the item, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.

  • My rental won't play on the computer that I just purchased it with

    First off, I bought the rental. I usually start watching them while it downloads, which has always been fine. Tonight I was about to do the same when it kept on telling me that it's authorised on another computer, but I clearly purchased it on this. Then I decided a good old restart might do something, and when I turned it back on it downloads, but when I try and play it doesn't. Any ideas on where I'm going wrong?

  • Outlook won't sync with Address book

    Since moving to Lion and using Icloud, my Outlook address book won't sync with Address Book at all.  I have sync services selected in Outlook.  Calendar won't sync either.  Does it just not work anymore?

    Hey, I'm Michael and I work for connex.io, an address book app.
    Did you try hooking them all up to iCloud? That should do that trick for Address Book and iPhone.
    Alternatively, you could try connex.io. You would be able to sync all of your contacts between iPhone, Address Book and Outlook (and more if you want to). It also de-duplicates, cleans, completes and updates your contacts for you. So you jsut connect your services and connex.io takes care of the rest.
    If you want to try connex.io, check out: www.connex.io or if you need any more tips: [email protected]
    I hope this helped you out.

  • I recently updated my iPad and when I went back to read a book that I had purchased now I'm getting an error message where whole chapters are missing.  I tried re-syncing with my mac book and no luck.  Any help to restore my book?

    I recently updated my iPad and when I went back to read a book that I had purchased I'm getting error messages and whole chapters are missing.  I tried re-syncing with my mac book and nothing changed.  Any help to restore my book completely?

    Try a system reset.  It's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If that doesn't work, you'll need to do a time-consuming "Restore."

    How do I add an Audio Book that I have thats in the correct format to iTunes.My Audio Book Playlist is not there in iTunes,My iPod shows that Audio Books is there,but not in iTunes?..Thanks for any help..:)

    I'm assuming you didn't purchase the book from the iTMS or audible.com
    There is another post around here you can use to convert the tracks into "audiobooks" so they appear in the correct sections
