Purchased an audio book that I can't find since upgrade, where is it?

I bought an audio book, paid through the itunes store, downloaded it onto my ipad mini. 2013. I cannot find it now after the upgraded ipad mini  to iOS7.0.3

I talked with iTunes Tech support for an hour or so this morning.  After a lot of trial and error - here is what solved the problem for me. 
1.  iTunes support resent the download to my Apple ID - I did a 'Check for Available Downloads' in iTunes on my Macbook and the audiobook downloaded tot here.
2.  On iPhone - I went to Settings > General > Usage > Music and deleted the Part 1 that was currently in my iPhone - apparently corrupted (since it didn't show in iBooks nor Music App under Audiobooks).
3. Plugged iPhone into MacBook, found that i had audiobooks in a playlist - removed all audiobooks from all playlists. Unchecked all Books and Audiobooks and synced.  Then, I rechecked the audiobook I wanted and synced. 
This process solved my problem!

  • HT201306 i downloaded an itunes audio book and now can't find it anywhere...where did it go?

    I downloaded an itunes audio book and now can't find it anywhere...not in iTunes, not in iBooks...where did it go?

    I had similar troubles on my iPhone 5 (iOS 7) with some audiobooks. Tried redownloading, reported problems, etc.  nothing worked. Even more confusing, I could 'see' it in the On This IPhone in iTunes, but couldn't even see the audiobooks button in iTunes (on the phone). 
    I ended up searching for it by name, from my iPhone home screen (by swiping down, it may be called spotlight?), and where it reads 'Search this iPhone', I just started typing the name of the book, and there it was.
    Not the most elegant solution, but so far all three of the books that I've bought are there.

  • My MacBook has 30gb of audio files that I can't find

    So there you can see that I have almost 30gb of audio files that I can't find anywhere. None of the folders say that it has many files.
    MacBook Pro
    Retina, Mid 2012
    Processor  2.3 GHz Intel Core i7
    Memory  8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
    Graphics  NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 1024 MB
    Software  OS X 10.9.4

    I don't, I deleted the files from the iTunes folder.

  • I purchased 2 audio books that have disappeared!

    I purchased 2 audio books about an hour ago, one didn't download at all and has disappeared from my computer and iTunes all together. - though when I tried to re-purchase it was showing that I had already done so! The second audio book downloaded Part 2 and Part 3 but Part 1 has also disappeared from everything!
    iTunes is showing no "Available Downloads" so i'm stuck & really need help!

    Audiobooks are a one-time only download from the store. If you haven't got copies of them in your iTunes library nor on your backup of your downloads/library (and if you haven't moved countries since buying them and they are still in the store) then you can 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

  • Audio books not syncing, can't find them anywhere

    I think I am done purchasing any audiobooks from Apple.  This is ridiculous.  I purchased two audio books on my phone that I wanted to transfer to my sons iPod and the only way I could figure out how to do this was to sync my iphone with my iTunes on my desktop.  I tried doing a "transfer purchases from iPhone" first but that didn't work.  It just did the music files, no audiobooks.  Then I tried syncing it the old fashioned way.  But instead of putting the audiobook on my computer it erased it completely from my iPhone.  Not only that, but they've burried the link to the audio books in iTunes so deep that it's almost impossible to find. This is just stupid, it shouldn't be so hard to buy audiobooks and then share them with family members.

    They should be in your library and also should be included in your regular backup of your computer.

  • HT1420 I purchased an audio book several years ago.  When I upgraded from a 2009 imac to a 2012 lion iMac, I was able to transfer all songs and media from my I-tunes account with the exception of my audio books.  My apple I.D. I tunes account was same of

    Upgraded from a 2009 to 2012 Imac with lion.  Successfully transferred all media and music with exception of audio books.  Same Apple I.D. & I-tunes account.
    Apple support unable to help.  Have done all the routine i.e:  ITunes store, click on purchased, etc.  Audio Books not shown in history.

    Audiobooks are currently a one-time only download (which I think is a requirement from audible.com who supply them). Have you not got them on a backup ? If not (and I don't know if this is what you've already tried) then you can try contacting iTunes support and see if they will grant you a re-download : 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 purchased an audio book  on itunes but cannot find it on my ipad

    I purchased and downloaded an audio book from the I tunes store.  It does not appear on my IPAD.

    If you've downloaded it directly on the iPad then it should be in the Music app (you should get an Audiobooks option under the More button at the bottom of the Music app when there are audiobooks on it) - does it not appear in there ?

  • HT201359 I purchased a audio book to listen to on my commute to work. It only works over wifi, that does me no good in the car and the book is hours long for audio. That will eat up my data. How can I get a refund?

    How are you trying to listen to it ? You shouldn't need to be online to listen to it, I don't for any of mine. If you've downloaded it directly on your iPad (or synced it from your computer) then it should be in the Music app (you will get an Audiobooks option under the More button in the Music app when you have audiobooks on it) - is that where you are trying to listen to it ?

  • Why can't you purchase an audio book on the Itunes store from an Apple TV?

    Apple seems to be moving everything they sell on Itunes to graphics, away from the traditional text based browse function they started with.
    I don't think they've done the most effective job on that move on a PC/Mac, it's sometimes easier just to go through the Apple TV and buy from there and let it just sync and transfer to my Itunes library on my PC.
    However, I've noticed that you can't purchase an audiobook from an Apple TV, though you can purchase everything else that can play on an Ipod from there.
    Audiobooks just don't show up as an option on the Itunes store from an Apple TV, but they do play on your Apple TV if you purchase them from the Itunes store from the PC or Mac you sync or stream from.
    Does anyone know if this is a licensing issue, or yet another oops/oversight on Apple's part? Doesn't seem to make sense, Apple has been pushing tighter and tighter integration between the Itunes store and Apple TV, and it's yet another lost revenue stream on Apple's part that I hope they fix.
    If you can buy it from the store, you ought to be able to buy it using your apple TV. Period. Makes as much (non)sense as restricting what content you can purchase if you are buying it from an Iphone vs. a PC vs. a Mac. If you sell content on your store that plays on your devices, then sell it, regardless of which device (that you also make and sell) that your customers access your Itunes store from. It's why they make us sync everything back to Itunes on a computer in the first place.
    And yes, while it may sound counter-intuitive to listen to an audio book from a device connected to a TV,
    I listen to audiobooks from my Apple TV nightly in my bedroom to go to sleep by, streamed via airtunes to the Aux port on my clock radio by my bed, then turn the TV off and snooze. Works extremely well and has for years now. Beats headphones or futzing with external speakers on an Ipod or trudging upstairs to the room I have my PC in to stream an audiobook to airtunes, then back to bed. With Apple TV, it's pick, click, then turn off the tv and the lights. Sure would be nice to buy an audio book that way also.
    Any thoughts on why they would restrict you from buying audiobooks from an Apple TV? To me, it's yet another lost revenue opportunity for impulse buys courtesy of Apple.

  • How do i sync an audio book that i purchased in Itunes to my Iphone? It shows up in Itunes but not on my Iphone podcasts., How do i sync an audio book that i purchased in Itunes to my Iphone? It shows up in Itunes but not on my Iphone podcasts.

    If it's an Audiobook, then it's probably in the Audiobook section of your iPhone. Have you set your iTunes to Sync Audiobooks with your iPhone?
    Alternatively, if the Audiobook was imported into your iTunes Library as as Music, then it's going to be in the Music section of your iPhone. If so, then it will be in the Music section of your iTunes Library. To move it to the Audiobooks section, select it in the Library and choose File/Get Info/Options>Media Kind where you can change it.
    You can change it to a Podcast, but since something is only a Podcast if it is delivered to your iTunes as a Podcast download (which is a process for delivering files without you having to go and find them), then your audiobook is not a Podcast and you may forget (in the future) how you obtained the book in the first place

  • HT201272 I downloaded (purchased) an audio book on my iPad 2.  I can not find it.  I wanted it to go to either iTunes or i book.  No where to be found.  However I did get verification they got my payment.

    It should be in the iPad's Music app (iTunes on an iPad it just the store for buying/downloading content, and iBooks is for ibooks, PDFs, epubs i.e. books for reading) ? 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 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.

  • TS1424 I purchased an audio book and only 9 seconds of it plays.  Any clues as to what I can do to get all of the content to play?

    If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copy of the track and try redownloading a fresh one. See the following document for instructions:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the item, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.

    Hi
    I have purchased an audio book from iTunes with my iMac.
    Now I wanted to listen to it on my iPhone so I proceeded to transfer the purchase and looked for the book in the purchased section of the store in the iTunes on my iPhone but it did not show up.
    Does anyone know why and how I can transfer the audio book purchased on my iPhone so I can listen while away from the desk?
    Thank you,
    Sanya

    Can you find the audio book by using the Search feature on the iPod?
    Do you have the right boxes checked to sync the audio book to the iPod?
    iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod
    Note you have to check the boxes in Books pane for the iPod in iTunes to sync books in general and another box to sync Audio Books.
