New audio book wont play on ipod

I have just bought a torchwood audio book from itunes which plays fine on my computer but when i try and play it on my ipod it just flicks straight back to the menu. I have lots of other audiobooks from itunes which are all ok so i dont understand why this one has a problem

I also have the same problem with the new Christopher Hitchens book, i have purchased several audiobooks in the past with no difficulties.
If anyone else knows why this is happening, please reply here.
Thanks
Chris

My Audio Books wont play

I purchased an audio book from Itunes. I manually dragged the newly downloaded file to my Ipod nano. The ipod updates. While the nano is connected, I can see the new audio book under the audio book play list in the nano, but when I discionnect the nano, the audio book does not appear for me to play. My other audio books appear and play with no problem

Are you disconnecting the iPod without ejecting it?
For more info, see this: Safely Disconnect iPod
Also, new conetnet is sometimes not synced to an iPod if it is being confused with other network devices. You might want to see this:

Ibook sync problems also audio books wont play correctly

I updated my ipad from 4.3 to 5.0.1 now I am unable to sync my books in one go with out the other folder showing in excess of 24gigs plus when I try to listen to an audio book ipod player will only play the first chapter then I need to select the next chapter and so on where as with 4.3 the chapters would just play one after the other I would be great ful of any help thank you.

Just I case any ones reading this I've found out that I'm not the only one who's suffering these faults with all of the apple products i.e. iPod touch, iPhones, and the iPads are all the same with this spurious other folder in iTunes when the devices are plugged in when I contacted apple care for help with this the so called technication tried to explain it was the iOS operating system that was accounting for the other folder when asked to explain how any operating system for a tablet or any device could be in the region of and above 20gigs he just went silent and it was hard to get another word from him he even refused to allow me to speak to his boss???
As for the audio books the only work round I have found is to use a free programme called Audacity 1.3 for windows you can also get this prog for the mac as well it allows you to stitch audio files together so in stead of having for example 3 large files for and audio book with say 5 chapters in each file you can stitch them all together as one large 15 chapter file it also allows you to adjust the meta data which is very handy.
Depending on how many chapters you have can take some time to do this but is so well worth it when if it was not done you could have an audio book with 150 chapters of 3 mins long which would mean every 3 mins you would have to select the next chapter to play or if it was all stitched together you just select remember last position in the iTunes file info and no more worrying about selecting the next chapter and if you don't listen to the audio book right the way through you can start off right where you left it last time.
I hope that this info has helped any one who like myself is having the same fault with their audio books not playing correctly.

Audio books wont play on Iphone 4S

Having trouble with audio books playing on phone 4S after transfer from itunes library. They show up in my content but wont play.

No idea why this would happen.
But try deleting all music via Settings> General> Usage> Music.
Just swipe to delete the Music app. It just deletes all contents of the music app.
Then resync music.

Audio books wont go on ipod

Downloading audio books from Librivox, using 64 Kbps MP3 Zip, Choose Save As, Direct book to go into Music, ITunes file. Book is on HD Win7. on ipod:
"on this ipod is empty" little arrow on left hand side shows playlists I made for these books, there are "songs" within the playlists, but my ipod is still empty. have re started and resinked many times, won't transfer for real and appear.

I also cannot sync my audible books onto my IPOD classic itunes v9.2 - it will sync the music/books from itunes store but all of my audible book downloads have disappeared from my ipod. They are on the itune account but simply will not download to my IPOD. Microsoft is also reporting that itunes does not have a microsoft digital signature and so my pc refuses to upgrade v9.2 with CD/DVD devices.I really hate it when Apple does these upgrades without doing full beta testing for all products. I did restore my IPOD and I also uninstalled and reinstalled Itunes but v9.2 will not co-ooperate. Does anyone have a solution out there?

How to put audio book under the audio book folder int he ipod nano

Can someone show me how to fix this?

Hello Clifforce,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
There are two things you could do here. First, change the *Media Type* of the audiobook tracks in iTunes to "Audiobook" via the "Get Info" screen under the Options tab.
Under this same tab, you could also tick the "Skip when Shuffling" option for these tracks. When you have finished, sync the updated changes to your iPod.

Hello xerxes.nashion,
It sounds like your iPod is not recognized by iTunes or your MacBook Pro. I recommend following the steps in the article below for an issue like this:

1) When I go to the apple.com website my computer will either be really slow or freeze my whole system down to where I have to reboot my computer again. This does not happen all the time but when it does operate it is molasses slow.
By any chance, are you uswing Kaspersky security software?
If so, see:

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! !

Audio Books Wont show up in audio books on my ipod.

Why does my audiobooks show up in Audio books in Itunes,but shows up in music on my ipod. Is ther any way I can straighten this out. I have tried everything, is there an issue with this, or can it be fixed by doing something simple.

Look at the file extension of one of the audiobooks you're talking about. If it ends with *.m4p then it reads as music in the Ipod. Follow the path "MyDocument, MyMusic, ITunes and in your ITunes folder change the extension to *.m4b then reload it into your Ipod. That should do the trick. I downloaded a ton of "This American Life" from ITunes and that was the problem.

When try to transfer my Overdrive audio book to my older Ipod Iget I must put Ipod in manually manage music

Need help to put my IPOD in manual manage music. When my older Ipod is connected to Itunes it does not give me the option to put in manual manage music mode. I am using a different PC that which I installed my music and audiobooks. My overdrive pgm requires I put it in manual mode to transfer and audio book I have on my PC.

No, it will sync the ipod to the content of the MBA which presumably has nothing on it (= erasing content of iPod and replacing it with nothing).
Ideally:
iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
do not confuse moving your whole folder and library with moving just media files as in
iTunes for Mac: Moving your iTunes Media folder - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1449
Quick answer if you let iTunes manage your music: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Start iTunes with the option key held down and guide it to the new location of the library.

I've downloaded audio books successfully to my iPod, but they don't show up on my iTunes.. and I want to delete some.

I've successfully downloaded audio books to my iPod for years but now they don't show up on iTunes, not under Music, not under books or Audiobooks - nowhere!
And I want to delete some...

Hello, mimi2216.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
This could be a result of Automatic Downloads not being enabled, the apps were too large to download via the cellular data network or a cellular data connection was not available at the time of download. The best option would be to download the missing apps via the steps in the second article below.

Audio books not appearing in iPod list

I have an 80gb 5g.
I recently purchased an audio book from iTunes and downloaded to my library. The book appears in the directory tree list under audiobooks and when I sync the ipod the audiobook item is also in the directory tree under "Devices".
However the Audiobook tab does not appear in the Summary on the RH window in iTunes and does not appear on the iPod as a heading "Audiobooks" To access the audiobook I have to scroll down the "artists" list - I find this rather strange.
Anyone having the same problem - or am I missing something?

I will go look to see if my audio book shows up like yours did.
My issue sounds similar. I bought a book from itunes and downloaded it. I can listen to it on my laptop without an issue. When I move it to my 30G Video Ipod, it shows up in the AudioBook folder when I view that folder via the computer. However, when I disconnect the Ipod from the laptop, the audio book does not appear in the audio book folder.

Audio book chapters play randomly though shuffle is set to off

I have turned off the 'shuffle' option in the Music section, but my audio book(s) still play chapters in a random mode. From intro and chapter 1 to chapter 18 or 22. Also the reset procedure seems not to work. I wanted to try this to see if it would re-set the chapter issue, but I don't seem to be able to hold the wake/sleep touch and press the sound down button for 6 seconds as described in the manual. Any ideas?

Thank you for taking the time and trouble to reply, Santo!
I tried your suggestion, but it didn't seem to help, but then I noticed something that I hadn't noticed before. Half of the discs were titled "Disc XXX" and the other half were titled "Disk XXX". (Notice the spelling of "Disc" vs. "Disk".) Once I made the spelling uniform, everything was fine.
Thanks again!
Judie
