I have an apple iphone 4 that I want to download audio books from my library onto. I cannot figure out how to do that. The iphone does not show up on my mac laptop as a connected device. Does this kind of download have to run through itunes? Thanks
Yes it is done through iTunes. The iPhone will never show up in Finder as a device. The following is general information on iTunes sync: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1386 and the following is a previous discussion where the post by Andreas Junge helped others that had a problem syncing audiobooks: https://discussions.apple.com/message/20052732#20052732

I bought an audio book and downloaded it to my iphone...i dropped the phone in water and i have received a different iphone when i go to itunes it doesnt show my purchase. I have the receipt number in my email how do i retrieve it??
At the present time, audiobooks are a one-time download and cannot be redownloaded again for free. You can try contacting the iTunes store to see if they would grant you an exception: http://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html.

Swipe your Home page to the far right and do a Search of your audio book.

I was not warned that audiobooks are a one time download only for those using iCloud to backup. As a result I've lost my audiobook when switching to a new iPhone after the previous phone was damaged.
Will Apple refund me for the audio book?
the irony of this is that the lost audio books is Steve Jobs biography!
Starting to wonder about the benefits of Android :-/If you haven't been keeping a backup of your downloads (none of your iTunes downloads are included in an iCloud backup, apps, music etc are only redownloadable whilst they remain in your country's store) then you can try contacting iTunes support and see if they will grant you a redownload : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

I have an iPhone 4 and want to download an audiobook from audible.com. My iPhone says safari can't download the item . Why? Also the audible app is for iPhone 5 and above ? Any suggestions ?
Also the audible app is for iPhone 5 and above
According to https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/audiobooks-from-audible/id379693831?mt=8 it only requires iOS 5 or later and it is "optimized" for iPhone 5. I think it will likely work well on your iPhone 4.
Compatibility: Requires iOS 5.0 or later. Compatible with iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. This app is optimized for iPhone 5. -
I'm new to audio books. After buying on iTunes can't find or play the book/file on my ios7
I can't find my audio book after purchasing using iOS 7. I understand with old iOS it was located in music app under More. Have tried buying again but no joy. Can't see it in my purchased section either........
Same problem.After 30 min figured it out.
For me:
hooked up iphone 5 to imac
Updated ios7
updated itunes
downloaded audible.com app and signed in/registered
went to books tab on iphone while still plugged in
manual dowload selected audiobooks on syn audiobooks.
sync and dowload onto iphone
turned off iphone
restarted
audiobooks were under more in music icon on iphone.
Rather long and silly-but worked.Just had to now redownload all my music as it erased music.
Seems you can not manually sync music,and audio books-its one or the other.When you click on,the other goes off.Just had to do it sequentially.What made apple a great company seems to be slowly eroding. -

I bought two audio books on iTunes but they will not play. My old books play without issue but the new ones do not.
Did you copy your actual iTunes content from your computer before reinstalling iTunes, or did you just copy your iTunes library which only contains the pointers to your songs / books locations ?
You might, depending upon your country and if they are still in your country's store, be able to redownload your music purchases and your ibooks via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage - you will need to delete the entries from your library (where you are getting the 'unable to locate' messages) before they will potentially show with the cloud icon against them in Purchased for redownloading.
Or copy them from your backup of your downloads/library and add them to your iTunes library via File > Add To Library -
I downloaded an audio book, it shows up in my library, but there's nothing there? I was charged for the download? iTunes won't allow me to try to download again? Help!

My iPhone I wanted to update music in MacBook Pro but I have never connected my iPhone to the Mac book and now older messages and apps would appear and music wouldn't play none of all 550 songs HELP
Welcome to the Apple Community.
Unfortunately, if Apple simply allowed people to log into different accounts and download content, everyone would be using everyone could share everyone else's content and bypass the need to purchase anything. To protect against this, they limit you to logging into a new account to once every 90 days.
If two or more of you, have different accounts and use only one computer, you should each have your own user account on the computer, to avoid the need to log in and out of iTunes. -
I recently purchased Itunes match to download some of the songs from my library onto my phone. Everything downloaded fine. At least I thought, until I tried to listen to my music on my phone. I found that some of the songs that were downloaded from the itunes match are not fully there. The full song plays fine on my computer, however on my phone it will only play a part of the song and then immediately cut off and skip to the next song, while the display still says the other song should be playing. I tried turning off the itunes match and just re-synching the music from my computer itunes library to my phone but still encounerted the same problem. Is there an easier way of fixing this, or do I have to basically restore my whole phone?
Did you let the scan in iTunes finish before you enabled the service on the iPhone? If not you need to. Disable iTM on the iPhone, then launch the Music app and let the content clear out. Once the scan is complete in iTunes re-enable iTM on the iPhone.

I recently purchased songs from my iphone. All good... But I then went to put them on my ipod touch. They seemed to have downloaded but the songs wont play and the song title/the text, appears in a grey colour and there is a downlaod symbol in front of the song title. what do i do next?? They play on my iphone and from the itunes library but not from my ipod touch.
If the songs are still on your ipod, make sure autosync is disabled in iTunes on your computer, connect and right click on it in the device list, then choose "transfer purchases" to copy all bought media and apps from your ipod to your computer.
If the songs are not on your computer and got deleted from your ipod as well, you can't get them back, unless you have a backup of your iTunes library as part of your computer backup. -
I purchased an audiobook from iTunes On my iPhone. I got a new phone and after the back up, the books I downloaded were not there. iTunes wants me to repurchase the books I downloaded. Is there a way for me to Redon load my already purchased books?
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 -
Iphone says songs are on it, but when I hit play it says I need to download the song
So I had a few strange things happen every since itunes 10 and now more problems since updating to iOS 7 and iOS 8. At first I just started having about 20% of my songs play part way through then go silent for the last part of the song. They work fine on my computer and iPad but not my iPhone nor iTouch. Then after the iOS 7 update which failed the first time on my phone causing me to restore from an update a week prior due to the current back up being corrupted for who knows why.
So after the restore when songs were added to my iPhone 5s, it says I have X amount of music on my phone but shows I still have 15 GB of space left while iTunes says I should have 3 GB of space. I then go to play a song and it shows the little download icon next to it and skips to the next song. This has happened on music I bought and some i Imported from CDs (confusing how I download a song from a CD as it's asking me to do). It was about 250 songs that this happened to out of the 3,500 I was putting on my device.
Then when iOS 8 came out I noticed that music would not sync to my phone because it said I had no space left, it said I needed an additional 28 GB of storage yet I don't even have 28 GB of music. I was trying to add 15 new songs so it wouldn't be that much space. I then tried removing the music by unchecking the sync music box and the phone would sync. After the sync iTunes said the phone had no music on it and about 20 GB of free space. Then I checked it on the phone itself and all of the music was on the phone.
In a fit of unhappiness as often happens to me with Apple products, I manually removed all the music on the phone through the settings interface. Then I synced it back up to my computer. It says it put on about 3600 songs on to my phone and I only have 3 GB free as I would expect. However when I check my phone it says I have 15 GB of free space (very confused how they are so far off). I did notice when it was syncing music it said it was syncing up to 960 songs. Then when I went to play music on my phone it says I have to redownload 2500 songs! Even ones that I imported from CDs I own! Why can my phone not sync with iTunes??? I played 5 songs on shuffle and it went through 117 before it could find 5 that it didn't need to download.Was the music purchased via your iTunes account and/or did you buy it from other sources or copy it from your own CDs, or did the music belong to the previous owner ? If the music was yours then you can sync it back to the iPod via your computer's iTunes. If the music is not still on your computer then have you got a backup of it ? If not then for iTunes purchases you might be able to re-download it depending on which country you are in. If the music was put on the iPod by the previous owner then you will need to buy your own copies of it.

Okay, so my friends music downloaded to my iPhone when i put it on his computer to charge and i re-synced it to mine and all his music is still there but blank and wont play how can i get it off of my phone, its so annoying!! My itunes only has like 4 songs because my computer crashed and lost all my songs, and I'm not trying to steal his music. But like I said its still in the music app on the phone but its all blank and wont play. I just want it off.
When he plugs it into his Mac again, he should be asked if he wishes to sync with that Mac.
