Problems with audiobook bookmark?

Anyone else having problems with audiobook bookmarks? I'm listening to an audiobook and whenever I turn off the ipod (hold the top button for 3-4 seconds and slide to shut off) it would loose my place when I turn it back on again.
It seems to happen to my other audiobooks also. I think this is a bug?!

I have the same problem. The only "solution" I found so far is to first play another audiobook. As soon as that other audiobook resets and starts from the beginning it is save to change to the audiobook I want to listen. This audiobook then remembers were I last paused, plays from the correct time on and keeps playing. If I don't choose another audiobook first, the desired audiobook plays for 1-3 seconds and then resets to start from the beginning.
Very annoying. I use audiobook builder to build all my audiobooks. Is there anybody out there using audiobook builder that doesn't have that problem? In other words, is this a problem of the iPod touch or audiobook builder?

Problem with Audiobooks

Hi all.
Don't know If I have a problem or if the Ipod (5th Gen) just automatically does this. I downloaded and converted a number of quite large audiobooks. The conversion went perfectly.
In iTunes 6, under Audiobooks, I had 1 author, (in this case J.K. Rowling) and several Audio books (the Half Blood Prince, Goblet of Fire etc), and within each book were the chapters. Great I though and synced them to my Ipod.
Here's the problem though. When I check on the Ipod, under Audiobooks menus, none of the book names showed, only the chapters from all 6 books. In otherwords, although Itunes can split the chapters into their relavent books, the Ipod seems to disregard the book name folder, and group all chapters from all books under 1 folder the Audiobook menu.
Am I doing something wrong ?
Many thanks

This issue sounds very similar to one that I regularly have encountered. A significant amount has been written about it at http://www.splasm.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=276 . There are many other places to read about the issue, but I believe that the essence of what is happening is described well here.
As for solutions, that is more complicated. Many people have opinions and have tested many ways of resolving it, but I've only found two ways that actually work for me. First - Use content from Audible.com. I have never had the problem with their audiobooks regardless of length, and others support this opinion. Secondly, limit your audiobook file lengths to 2 hours 15 minutes or less. This is less convenient, but seems to work for me on books created from CD using the Audiobook Builder application.
If you find other solutions, let me know.

Problems with lost bookmarks, keypad not working, apps shutting down

Out of the blue, while I was still using Safari, all my bookmarks disappeared. No matter how many times I tried to add a bookmark it doesn't show up on my Bookmarks tab. I've tried adding a new folder on my bookmarks tab but it doesn't work either. I don't know what's going on. I've already reset my iPhone once because there were so many problems after I downloaded iOS4.
Also, I don't recall seeing "History" under the Bookmark tab but now it's there. The History option (along with the websites, etc.) comes and goes. Even after I delete everything from the Settings app, the history still shows up afterwards.
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. If I absolutely need to (again), I'll reset my iPhone. I honestly didn't think I was going to have this many problems with iOS4. Everything was perfect before I downloaded the new operating system. I'm also experiencing other problems with iOS4 such as the keypad not working during a phone call and apps shutting down multiple times. Again, any help or suggestions would be great.

it just sorta started working again

Hi, i have problems with audiobooks, chapters from diffrent books stand togheter, the book is mixed with another book, does someone know how to fix this

If i synchronise one book there is no problem,
when I sinchronise more books then chapters from diffrent books stand togheter.
In I-tunes the books are not mixed.
In my ipod classic the books are mixed.
I use the latest version from i-tunes
I work with windows vista pro NL

The easiest thing to do is to make a playlist for each book. I have about ten audiobooks on my iPod and have the same problem with everything being put together in one long list. The iPod does not treat each book as it does an album by grouping each audiobook in one folder, it just lumps them all together in one long list.

SEVERE Problem With Safari Bookmarks Sync

Just thought I'd bring this one to people's attention (as well as submitting a bug report to Apple).
I have my bookmarks synced across all devices (MacBook, iMac, iPhone) and recently I decided to tidy them up a bit. On the MacBook I started moving bookmark folders into a newly created folder called "Archive" (wanted to just put some stuff I don't use often into a folder to reduce the number of top-level folders in the Bookmark list). I did this once successfully but the second time I tried to do it Safari threw an error, something like "You cannot do this right now because Bookmarks are being synced."
OK, I thought, I'll wait.
Then the folder that I'd just moved hundreds of bookmarks into disappeared!
No undo. No CMD+Z. Nothing would get it back.
Then the full horror dawned on me - Safari was now busy syncing this across all my devices. I checked my iMac and iPhone and yes, that folder full of bookmarks had been wiped off every device. Forever.
What I found ubelievable was:
1) Safari does not keep a 'previous version' of the Bookmarks.plist file in the same way that, say, iTunes does with it's database.
2) iCloud does not actually 'back up' your Bookmarks. Whenever you edit them on any of your synced devices you are creating/destroying bookmarks on the only single copy of those bookmarks that exists
So, thanks to that nice little bug (and poor implementation of bookmarks management in Safari), I've just lost hundreds of bookmarks that I can never ever recover.

I use Dropbox for everything. This wouldn't help though in this case as unless I'd have manually copied my bookmarks to a folder in Dropbox there is no automatic way of making use of Dropbox's features with Safari (as far as I can see and without jumping through hoops)
I'm not so much griping about whether or not iCloud backs up your data but more warning that there is a severe bug in iCloud sync whereby somehow it managed to destroy a folder full of bookmarks (which it shouldn't have done) and then propagated that through all my synced devices (which, technically, it should have done). At that point your are screwed because there's no fail-safe mechanisms in place as there is with iTunes (which makes a historic copy of your database each time you perform an operation that alters it).
Or alternatively, given that all of Sarafi bookmarks are just nodes in a single XML file, why not make it so that you can revert to previous versions as you can in, say, TextEdit.
I have submitted a bug to Apple by the way, I only posted here as a warning to others to be very, VERY careful when messing about with your bookmarks if they're synced to other devices.

I am still having problems with audiobook files that go silent after playing for a few minutes on my iPohne 4S and iPod touch. This is happening to others but I notice no support being offered. I downloaded them from iTunes. Any ideas?

This problem only surfaced a couple of months ago. Audiobook files which used to play fine suddenly startted to cut out after a few minutes (playing according to the countdown but silent).
I tried restoring, resetting, etc but nothing worked. THen I deleted some and redownloaded. BIG MISTAKE. iTunes tried to bill me for these again!! I have been in dispute for week about this and they have finally promised to refund this as it is a 'special' case, but there are still book that are cutting out!!!
This is frustrating and there seems to be no way of sorting it out. The files play perfrctly through iTUnes from my PC but each time a update, the same problem occurs.
Help!!!

Wow, just posting and it seems that there is a solution that is working for me...
What I've did is I turned off iTunes Match on my iPhone, then turned in on again. Now in my iTunes library on my mac I can get the duplicates to be matched or uploaded to iCloud with a right-click, add to iCloud. iTunes Match starts to check the songs and everything is done correctly. Pretty nice!

Problem with creating bookmarks (word- pdf)

Index entries between section number and heading in my word document prevent the creation of the section number in the PDF bookmarks.
I'm using Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro (9.4.5) and Microsoft Word 2007.
Does anyone know the problem, and more importantly, does anyone have a solution?
Thanks in advance.
Manuel

What version of WORD and Acrobat? I just ran PDF Maker with WORD 2007 and AA8 and turned off the headings 3 that were in the document and they did not show up in the bookmarks.

Problems with Audiobooks and sorting

Hi,
I am trying to put my (old) collection of .mp3 audiobooks onto my nano but am having a few problems.
I have sucessfully imported them into i-tunes, i have set each one as an audiobook (from options) and all looks correct in Itunes (if I go to audiobooks in the library) I see the books (just like he albums in the music library)
However, on the Nano, when I go to audiobooks I just see a long list of the individual .mp3 files (they are grouped together with the right picture) but NOT showing just the books (like an album) - also, the order isn't always quite correct.
How do I get the audiobooks to work the same way as music albums while keeping then in the audiobook library ?
Many Thanks

Sorry to nudge but can anybody assist me on this?

Problem with Imported Bookmarks

Months ago when I switched from my Mac Mini to my new iMac I imported all my bookmarks into the iMac. The problem now is that if I click on the + in the address bar to save a bookmark to the current page the window that opens contains two different sets of bookmarks. The first set of bookmarks is not the one I am using currently but if you scroll down a few windows you find "MacMini Bookmarks imported 03/15/10" that does contain the bookmarks I wish to add to.
The problem is that I am unsure how to delete the first list of bookmarks so that I don't have to remember to scroll down several windows to the "MacMini Bookmarks" I wish to save the bookmark to. Is it as simple as clicking on the Bookmarks icon in the left hand corner of the Bookmarks Bar highlighting the Bookmarks Bar icon and pressing delete?
Thanks!

Yes. However, you can also move them out of that folder into new ones so you don't have to duplicate them.

I'm having problems with the bookmarks, which are very unstable and almost impossible to use.

When I try to use my bookmarks and run the cursor to try to get to a folder, such as Travel, many times it just opens the one above instead. Also, when I can finally get this to open, it's very difficult to get to take the cursor across and reach the bookmark I need. It has gotten so bad that I spend a lot of wasted time.

yep... my iphone 4 also having problem like astoker.. u see on dock pin using torch light.. i found 2 pin touch each other.. i solve my problem ready.. thanks wjosten.

Problem with audiobook download

I'm trying to download an audiobook with my ITunes but it keeps downloading it over and over again without coming to an end. The moment the download is complete it starts over. Does anyone have a solution for this?

I'm experiencing the same thing - we're sitting on an OC-45 and I'm getting 5 - 10 KB/sec. :(
...only 70 hours to go... brings back memories of my 1200 baud modem... ;)

Problem with icloud & bookmarks (Iphone 4, IOS 5.0.1)

If I switch on settings>icloud>bookmarks then my bookmarks are duplicated and moved/disordered. What's wrong? (Iphone 4, IOS 5.0.1)

[First of all, thank you for reply. And I'm sorry for my broken english; I'm not an english speaker]
That don't change anything.
If I have the tree Bookmarks>FolderA>FolderB>FolderC>FolderD then Bookmarks>FolderD appears too (and not with all the bookmarks that must contain). It seems that the bookmarks in iCloud are stored incorrectly from the past (perhaps the tree was too deep) and all I can do is copy them to the iphone. How can I replace the incorrect bookmarks stored in iCloud (not copying from iCloud to the phone)?
And the bookmarks in Bookmarks>FolderA>FolderB>FolderC>FolderD appear disordered (and some of them, into another forlders!). Why the bookmarks are disordered when I switch bookmarks on?
Thank you very much

I have a problem with Safari in IOS 8 on my iPad 3. The bookmarks take up a third of the screen and I can't seem to make the bookmarks disappear until I need them. The useful part of the screen is therefore very small. Any suggestions gratefully appr

OK, it now sort of works. A couple of problems here:
After updating IOS, Safari iCloud was "automatically" switched off
Switching it on had no effect
resetting my iPad automatically switched off safari iCloud again
after switching it back on, it said "turning off safari data"
switched it off and on again, now it said : "turning on safari data" and the sync worked
On IOS 7 no problems
The bookmarks not being displayed was because after pressing the book icon, it defaulted to showing the history and I had to press "Back" to get to the other options

Im having a problem with Firefox opening web pages that i have set as my home page such as Google also will not open Yahoo but will open most bookmarked pages

After starting Firefox the Firefox homepage comes up with the google search, but if i enter anything in the search bar, nothing happens it just says done. Also my homepage is Google, imported from Internet Explorer, but doesn't come up when i start Firefox, And Also at the top on the tab it just says untitled. Now with that being said if i enter in yahoo or yahoo.com in the search tab or even enter in the actual web address, it still doesn't open it just says done at the bottom of the page and nothing happens, But if i go to the Bookmarks also imported from Internet Explorer it will open or display most all of the web pages it just seems to be having problems with search engines such as Google, and Yahoo. Now if i enter Ask.com in the web address search tab it will open that page but if i enter Google.com or Yahoo.com nothing. Also like i said most all bookmarks will open but yahoo or my yahoo that is saved in Bookmarks will not. and nothing happens with any entry made into the Google search displayed on the the Firefox Start Page.

Hi,
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!

I have problems with seeing my bookmarks, file, view, edit...buttons. I tried other shortcuts. I noticed that all of my bookmarks are located in the Internet Explorer browsers, how can I restore setting back to Mozilla Firefox?

Is the menu bar missing (the one containing File, View, Edit etc)? If it is, the following link shows how to restore it - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Menu+bar+is+missing
