Problem Returning to Same Place in Audio Books

I listed to audio books driving to work. I always pause/stop my Ipod when I leave the car so that I can return to the same spot in the book. Sometimes when I return to my car at the end of the day, the Ipod does not remeber where I stopped or even what book I was listening to. However, it does not always have this problem. How can I make sure my Ipod always rembers where I left off in the audio book? Thanks

Thanks for the effort. What you found turns audio shows into audiobooks, so that the book marking works on the Ipod. The problem I have is that I am listening to audioBooks but for some reason my Ipod does not always remember the bookmark. I think it could be a battery problem. My Ipod seems to running the battery down, even if I hit stop and leave the Ipod.

Audio Book bookmark

I have a video iPod and my wife has a Nano - but both of us are experiencing the same issue with audio books. You can not skip ahead or fast forward on a book because it jumps right back to the very beginning of the book and when you shut off your iPod and come back to it, the book starts over. It does NOT keep the last place you left off. How do we do that. Pressing the center button to bookmark does NOT work either.

sorry had this trouble last week with my links!!

Why can't I find an audio book I purchased to download to my library?

A few years ago I purchase an audio book with an itunes gift card. I recently got a new PC and when I tried to transfer my purchases to the computer most of them transfered without any problem. However, two of my audio books did not. Any ideas how to correct this?

oops, I found it in somebody elses question.

Downloaded audio books and the voice wobbles

I downloaded an audio book off itunes onto my computer and the voice wobbles. Is there any way I can fix it or download it again without paying for it twice? I've never had any problems with music or other downloaded audio books so I don't know what happened.
Thanks

Johnsherryq-
When you receive the confirmation eMail from the iTunes store, check to see if it charged you twice or just once. If it is not correct, there is a reply link under the item to "Report a Problem".

Audio books and no shuffle

Couple of easy how to use questions:
1: My iPod has more podcast and audio book then music. Problem is when I drag an audio book to the iPod it thinks it's music and I get random chapters when listion to the "shuffle songs" feature. Isn't there a way to mark an file to not be included in the shuffle songs?
2: When listioning to my audio books I have a hard time listioning to each champter in order. How do I listion to an artist in order and still keep my music shuffled?
3: When I upgraded iTunes 7.0.2 I noticed it added an audio book folder to my iTune and my iPod, but I can't drag anything to that folder.
4: Is there a way to re-order the menus on my iPod? I really think the podcast section should be on the first menu, NOT under the music section.
If anybody and answer one or all I'd be most gratful. Thanks.

10 after 1 is because of the sorting used. Change the 1 through 9 to be 01, 02, 03.
To get the audiobook files into audiobook section they must be in a specific format.

Audio Books on teh Zen Visio

I just got my Creative Zen Vision M today with the intention of loading all my audio books on it. Then I discovered that it sorts in alphabetical order. Can anything be done to change this?

Jason and Super Contributor:
Thank you so much for responding. I've read just about everything you suggested. I'm not sure I even understand "ripping." Guess I have a long, long way to go. Maybe answers to a few specific/basic questions will get me going.
. Since almost all of the articles only refer to "music," should I assume everything is the same for an audio book?
2. What format do I want to use for the audio book? One of the articles stated there was a big difference in the space used to record, depending on format.
3. Do you know what format an audio book comes in?
What I am trying to do is put a few books on the Zen that can be listened to while driving on a vacation. Actually, I got 2 of the Zens', so my intention is to record the books on my Zen and my wife's Zen. Can time be saved in the downloading process to put the same info on two different units?
FYI, I've never even downloaded any music, so I really feel at a loss right now.
Any more direction? Thanks again.

HT201272 My audio books are not showing up in purchase history, but everything else is okay... is anyone having the same problem?

My audio books are not showing up in purchase history, but everything else is okay... is anyone having the same problem? I have already authorised my new computer and I am currently downloading my purchased music and videos however the books (audiobooks) are not showing for download.
Hope someone can help!

"My audio books are not showing up in purchase history,"
That is correct. You cannot redownload audiobooks.
" is anyone having the same problem?"
Everyone and it is not a problem. Audiobooks simply are not available for redownload.

Problems with audio books from public library downloading to wrong place.

Since updating software to ios5, my books from public library no longer get downloaded to "audiobooks". Now they get downloaded to "playlists". When i am in the middle of listening to a book, and switch to listening music, it will lose my place in the book. Before the software update, this was not a problem. Is there anything I can do to get my books to download into the "audiobooks" again?

You need to wait until Overdrive get updated. That is a know problem.

Hi All, I have question about the iMac operating system. I have the last updated. The problem when I manage the place of the folder windows they are all mixing up.

Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

I'm having some trouble transferring audio books to my iPhone. It usually takes 3 or 4 tries to get all the parts transferred. I didn't use to have this problem - all parts would transfer in one try.

Mostly because you are not using any capital letters or paragraph returns and your post is difficult to read.

When listening to an audio book it freezes after about 10 minutes. I have done a soft reset, I have deleted the audio book and re- installed. My music plays with no problem.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Audio Book Sync Problem

I'm trying to free up some space on my iTouch 32g. I have a number of Audio Books in my library and on my iTouch. If I uncheck all but one of the books in my iTunes library, I would expect after syncing to only have that one book on my iTouch. The problem is that when I check all of the books in the library are still on the iTouch. How can I have only the one book that I want, without deleting the other books from the iTunes library?

Don't know if it works the same as the iPod but for me, I'm on manual sync. When I attach my iPod to my computer I can hi-lite the books I want deleted and then right-click and hit delete. After I've disonnected my iPod the books are still in my library on my computer. If I choose I can delete any of the ones I want. If it's like the iPod once you're Pod is connected you can click on each Tab and either check off "auto sync" or "manual sync". So hopefully the iTouch works similar to the iPod.

Audio book sorting problem

Hi,
whilst everything looks just right within iTunes, my Nano (3rd gen.) won't show the books, then chapters.
The Nano will only show all chapters of all books sorted alphabetically.
Any ideas ?
Thanks in advance,
Barb

I am having the same problem. Have you found a solution yet?
So I have a problem with audio book sorting. ui figured out how to get the audio books designated as audiobooks. However There are about 6 cd's on this particular book. I can sort the tracks via name and they list correctly chapter 1a,1b etc. However when I load it onto my ipod touch they are out of order. I noticed that itunes wants to sort by track which for each cd are labeled 1-12 then on cd 2 1-12 and so on. How can I overwrite or edit the track number order so they are always in order? Currently the track number will not let me edit it.
Thanks
