Purchased an audio book from I Tunes and want to download/sync with my I Phone 5...how do it do it?

I purchased an audio book from I tunes and it is in my recent purchases on my Mac Book Pro and I would like to download it to my I Phone 5. How do i do it?

Hello there Michael,
It sounds like you have audiobooks on your computer you want to sync to your iPhone 5. You can do this in the Books tab in iTunes when you have your iPhone connected:
iTunes 11 for Mac: Add iBooks and audiobooks to iPod, iPhone, or iPad
Sync iBooks or audiobooks to your device
Connect your device to your computer and select your device in iTunes. 
Click the Books button.
Do either or both of the following:
Sync iBooks: Select Sync Books, then click “All books,” or click “Selected books” and select the iBooks you want to add. 
Sync audiobooks: Select Sync Audiobooks, then click “All audiobooks,” or click “Selected audiobooks” and select the audiobooks you want to add. 
Click Apply.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Regards,
Sterling

    HI CEGS,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    Audiobooks can be found in your Music app on the iPad.
    I've referenced the section of the iPad User Guide (page 78):
    manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/ipad_user_guide.pdf
    See additional browse buttons: Tap More.
    I hope this information helps ....
    Have a great day!

    Those videos are probably not in an iPod-friendly format. It’s picky about that. You can try converting them, if possible.
    As for the audiobooks, are you sure they haven’t synced? You’ve enabled it to sync books and checked the “Audiobooks” section of your iPod?

    I had purchased an audio book from itunes on my iPad and when I synced my iPad with my computer, my audiobook disappeared. I have already purchased this audiobook, so now I just need to know how to get it back because it is not on iPad anymore. I don't think the audiobook was backed up to icloud but I have the receipt to prove I purchased it. Is there anyway I can get it back?

    "If I purchase an audio book in iTunes on my iPad why can't I listen to it on my Mac? "
    You can.  Why do you think you cannot?
    If you purchased it on your ipad, then you would have to transfer it to your computer. File>Devices>Transfer Purchases.
    You can then listen to it on your computer.

  • I downloaded audio books from overdrive media and my ipod nano 6th generation showed it was transferring why can't I find the audio books on my ipod?

    I downloaded audio books from overdrive media and my ipod nano 6th generation showed it was transferring and now I can't find it on my Ipod where would it be?

    The problem may have been in how you transfered it.  You didn't go into much detail.  Just be sure to follow the steps in the tutorial below.  Note Paragraph 5.
    Many libraries worldwide now use Overdrive Media Console, which comes in Mac an Windows versions http://www.overdrive.com/Software/omc .  Some find the mobile device transfer process confusing.  To load or delete a WMA or MP3 (Macs can only download MP3 books) audiobook onto an Apple mobile device see the "How to Transfer to a Portable Device" video in the guides at Step 7, then do the following.
    1. For Windows versions, you must first do a security update of Windows Media Player (even though you won't be using it) using Internet Explorer at http://drmlicense.one.microsoft.com/indivsite .
    2.  Open iTunes, plug the mobile device into the computer USB port and open the Overdrive Media Console.
    3. Highlight the mobile device in the left hand menu of iTunes and insure the "Manually manage music and videos" box is checked in the Summary Tab. If the mobile device storage is full, transfering will delete that portion of music necessary for the ebook.
    4. Highlight the book you want to transfer in the Overdrive Media Console and click the Transfer Button.   A window opens permitting you to click the boxes for parts of the book you wish to transfer.
    5. After the book has been transfered, when you click the disclosure triangle (arrow) to the left of the iPod, iPhone, or iPad in the Device section of the left hand menu of iTunes, MP3 books will show up under the Music subsection and WMA books will show up in the Books subsection.  Once the mobile device is disconnected from iTunes, MP3 books will show up in the Songs list of the mobile device and WMA books will show up in the Books list.
    6. To remove a book from a mobile device plug the device into the USB port and open iTunes. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of your iPod, iPhone, or iPad in the Device section of the left hand menu of iTunes so that you can see the device’s subcontents. For an MP3 book select the Music subsection, right click on the book and choose Delete.  For a WMA book, select the Book subsection, right click on the book and choose Delete.
    7. The Overdrive Media Console Guided Tour (videos) is at http://www.overdrive.com/Solutions/Libraries/tour/MenuWelcome.html .  The "Portable Devices" and "How to Transfer to a Portable Device" videos are there.
    8. To find a nearby library for ebooks search http://search.overdrive.com .  You can download the software, search for books and see tutorials without an account at the website of any library that uses Overdrive, however, you need a library card to download books.  At this library site, for example, the software and guided tour are at the bottom of the left hand menu.

  • I just purchased a audio book from iTunes, where do I listen to it?

    I just purchased a audio book from itunes, where do I listen to it?

    You're postive this is an actual Audiobook, correct? If so, do this: Double tap the Home button, slide the last viewed state of each app shown up...not the app icon, the last viewed state. Tap the Home button when finished, then reset your phone: Press the Sleep/Wake button & Home button at the same time, keep pressing until you see the Apple logo, then release...it show up properly now?

  • HT203167 I have purchased an audio book from Itunes and paid for it, but it is nowhere to be found??

    I bought an audio book from Itunes and cannot find it at all in Itunes!?
    Worst ia that I cannot find a article to help me with my problem.

    If you've downloaded it on your iPad then it should be in the Music app - when there are audiobooks on it 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 copy - it should copy over to the Books part of your computer's iTunes library

  • I have downloaded an audio book from I tunes.   How do I now access this?  is her an app like iBooks from audio books?

    I have downloaded an audio book from the I tunes store.  is here an app hat I can now access this from like the iBooks app?

    If you've downloaded it on your iPad then it should be in the Music app (and similarly for audiobooks that you sync from your computer's iTunes) - when you have audiobooks on an iPad you will 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 they won't appear in the Purchased tab for re-downloading), so you may want to copy it from your iPad to your computer's iTunes via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases so that you can take a backup copy of it - it should copy over to the Books part of your iTunes library.

  • HT5085 Audio books from I tunes

    How do get the audio books from my I pad transferred to my I phone? I subscribed to I match and it was a waste of money. I'm not Abel to cancel or get my money back and my books are not in the cloud or on my list. Please help

    iTunes Match is for more music only. Audiobooks are a one-time only download from the store, so if you want them on your iPhone then you will need to connect your iPad to your computer's iTunes and do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases to copy them over to your computer, and you can then sync them to your phone.

  • I purchased an audio book on my ipad and I cannot get it on my iphone?

    I purchased an audibook on my ipad, how can i get it on my iphone?

    Make sure you have iTunes match turned on both devices and both devices are syncing with the same Apple id.
    If that doesn't work sync your iPad with your computer manually, then do the same with your iPhone.
