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.

  • I have an apple iphone 4 that I want to download audio books from my library onto it.  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

  • HT3951 When I download audio books from the library why can't Isee the files in itunes. All of the chapters do not transfer.

    When I download audio books from the library I can't find them in my itunes files.  All of the chapters do not transfer to my itouch even though they all were downloaded.

    I finally figured it out!  On the book page of itunes I went to preferences and then import settings and changed the settings from aac to mp3 and when I went back to the page there was my itouch and clicked on it and then books and there were all my books and files! deleted 3 chapters that were greyed out and transfered them again and it worked.  Thank you for your help.

  • Problems with audio book

    I have purchased "God is Not Great" Audio Book by Peter Hitchens. This is a 4 part audiobook - each part being approx 2 hourss long. It plays fine on the computer but doesn't work at all on my iPod nano. It transfers from the computer to the nano with no problem but when I play it on the nano the screen just cycles repeatedly through the four parts in quick succession and no sound comes out.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Okay, after a couple of hours scouring the net and pulling my hair out, I now have to confess that I have solved my own problem - an embarrassingly easy solution as it turns out!
    I have now gone to 'settings' on my iPod and found that audiobooks was unchecked for the menu options.  I simply checked it again and 'hey presto' - suddenly I can find my audiobook on the iPod.
    Technologically challenged?  Who me? 

  • Problems with ordering Books from iPhoto '09

    I tried ordering 2 books from iPhoto ’09 (version 8.1.2 (424) - this is the iPhoto that I have) yesterday, and I got this message: "Please check your network connection and try again"... so I checked my network connection and it was fine. I tried again summiting the order and the same message appeared again
    I checked all the photos and everything look fine. So, I tried to summit the order again. The same message appeared. I stopped trying sending it again.
    After, I checked my emails and saw that I got charged 3 times for the books! I never got an email from apple with a confirmation number for the order(s) nor nothing! I tried looking for a number or email that I can send them about my problem but I can’t anything.
    Please Help! I have a deadline to meet.
    How can I know if at least one order went through and how can I stop two of the charges?

    To check orders go to your account in the apple store and check order status

    I purchased an audiobook from itunes.  I downloaded it onto my home computer rather than my laptop, not realizing that you can't download onto your iphone from more than one source without deleting everything else.  How do I copy the book to my laptop so I can download it to my phone?

    I downloaded the audiobook to my laptop, but now want it to be on my iphone. How do I download it to my iphone?

  • Anyone know a free app for reading books from public library?

    I found the name "OverDrive Media Console" on a site about readers, it's not available at the Mac app store. Do you know anything about a newer version? I will be using my Mac Mini, not an actual reader or tablet.

    There is a mac version: OverDrive Media Console

  • HT1473 How to I put an audio book from my computer onto my iPod touch4

    Hi, I got an audio book from my library and want to put it onto my iPod but I'm not sure how to.
    I downloaded the book onto my computer
    It's an odm file if that helps
    And the website said it was compadable with iPods
    But when I hook my iPod up to the computer and view its "files and folders" then drop the file in nothing happens. It's the same if I try to drop it any where else.
    Srry about spelling

  • When i delete an audio book from my computer it does not delete the book from my Iphone. it seems to be deleting the name from the computer but not the content. this has just started happening since the last itune progam updated. the result is i have

    I record audio books from my library onto my old iPhone. I download the book from Overdrive to my computer. I connect the Iphone to the computer and transfer the audio-book to the iPhone.  When I am done listening to the book i delete it from the iPhone by connecting it to the computer and doing a manual sync. this worked fine until the last i-tunes update on my computer. Now when the iPhone is connected and i tell the computer to delete a book it is only deleting the name of the book on the computer it is not deleting the book from the phone. The next time I connect the phone to the computer the program does not show the book in the phone but it is still in the phone.  I have no more room on my phone to get any new books on it.
    Does anyone know how to fix this? Please

    You are correct.  Syncing should transfer any purchased media, including videos, from your device to your iTunes library provided your computer is authorized for the Apple ID used to make these purchases.  You mentioned that you have uninstalled iTunes before, but if you didn't follow this guide exactly, uninstalling iTunes and all of its components in the order specified, it may not have been successful so you should try again:  Windows XP or Windows Vista/7.

  • I have down loaded an audio book from the libraryand I cant play it

    cant get an audio book from the "library" to load on Nano

    It should be in the Music app - when there are audiobooks on your iPhone you should get an Audiobooks option under the More button at the bottom of the Music app.
    Note that audiobooks are currently a one-time only download from the store, so you may want to copy it to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases (File > Devices > Transfer Purchases on iTunes 11) so that you can take a backup of it.

  • TS4062 I have synced my iTunes music in iPad with my new iPhone. Problem two audio books which I purchased from I tunes failed to come on my iPhone. Help!

    How do I sync audio books from iTunes in iPad with my new iPhone 4???

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
    Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > store, scroll down and tap your ID)
    If you are using iMessages or FaceTime, you will also need to log out and into your ID there too.

    There is a OneClickdigital ereader available in the App Store. Download that to your iPod to read pdfs and books from the library. And you might need to download the OneClickdigital eaudio player to listen to audiobooks from the library. Once both are downloaded sync you iPod again to transfer them.
