Purchased audio book lectures (m4b) are cut into 6 hr. sections without original chapters. Is there a solution?

I am a huge fan of The Teaching Company and The Modern Scholars Lectures. You can find a limited selection of these audio books on iTunes, but the original "chapters," which are distinct lectures, are now clumped together in huge 6-hr sections of 13-18 lectures, and finding precise chapters is extremely difficult. These lectures seem to be among the most expensive media on iTunes ($30-60 a pop), and my very old iPod with another lecture--one I bought again for the iPad Air, has labeled chapters for every half hour lecture. Is there a a way to chapterize--or, better yet, to automatically revert to the original increments for these courses?

I know of no reason your audio would reduce and background audio would get louder. Premiere Elements isn't capable of doing that.
In same cases audio will quit completely partway into a clip. This is because the program has not fully conformed the audio file. But this is definitely not the case here.
You've given lots of detailed information, but the one thing I don't see is what model of camcorder your video came from and how you got the video from this camcorder to your computer. That could be relevant. (I assume the change in audio is not on the original footage.)
You can also post a screen capture of a segment of the timeline where this change in audio occurs.
But, given your description, this really does not seem to be a software issue -- or anything we can help you with. We'll give it a try though.

    how do you import audio books so they are like the ones you buy from itunes?

    There are a number of tools for merging the files into one. Personally I don't bother, but you'll find links on my page which describes how to manage Audiobooks on iPods.

    Purchased some audio books. They are on my itunes, butt cannot get them on my ipod shuffle.

    You can delete apps from itunes by going to the Apps section of the Library NOT the sync page. Select App and delete. It will then be gone from the App Sync page as well.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Audiobooks are not currently part of the content that can be re-downloaded. You should sync your audiobooks to other devices via iTunes on your computer.

    Audiobooks are a one-time only download from the store. You've checked your Mac's drive for them, and they aren't on your backup copies of your downloads ?

  • HT2905 My itunes looks nothing like the examples in this tutorial.  I do not have "display exact duplicates" or "date added".  Can someone please help me remove duplicate songs?  Also, I downloaded two audio books and they are showing up in my song list.

    My itunes looks nothing like the examples in this tutorial.  I do not have "display exact duplicates" or "date added".  Can someone please help me remove duplicate songs?  Also, I downloaded two audio books and they are showing up in my song list. Why???

    'Show duplicates' is now under the 'View' menu. To see the 'Date added' column go to 'View options' from the 'View' menu and check it in the section under 'Stats'.
    Click an audiobook once to select it and hit command-i (Mac) or control-i (Windows). Go to the 'Options' tab and set 'Media Kind' to 'Audiobook'.

  • How to transfer purchased audio books?

    I purchased audio books while using my PC. I have now converted to a mac. I burned my audio books to a DVD and I have reformatted my Ipod to Mac but can't transfer my audio books from the DVD back onto my Ipod.

    Thanks for getting back to me so quickly,
    I have only ever synced my ipodtouch once and that was before I'd bought the audio books in question on alaptop that got run over by a bus. (i know..... tell me about it).
    I reinstalled itunes (not on the same one ) and authorized my laptop and signed in etc... But i can’t see where the purchased audio booksare.

  • HT203433 I do not have access to my purchased audio books suddenly only my purchased music. Why?

    I do not have access to my purchased audio books suddenly only my purchased music. Why?

    That's not the issue iCloud was not a option and backing up previous purchased audio books was not a problem but now it is. One download or more like one year etc...? Otherwise its back to the dark ages. Perhaps but then why has support not responding if its this simple? iCloud now gives another money grab opportunity light. Oh I'm sure a notice was posted by iTune and now my purchases have lapsed. It's only money what I don't agree with is the terms changing wasting my time and not responding. I've asked the questions, done the requirements but iCloud is a mess for if not managed daily. They change terms and environments as they please. Hey it's in the fine Print buyer beware.

  • I restored my iPad 2 from the iTunes backup but my music, audio books and iBooks are all missing.

    I restored my iPad 2 from the iTunes backup but my music, audio books and iBooks are all missing. It seems only the Apps were restored and settings. Anyone else had this problem?

    Oh and the bizarre thing was that when I opened iBooks for the first time after the restore it showed all the books in the open collection and then they vanished in front of my eyes!

  • Lost Purchased Audio Book

    Hi,
    Unfortunately, I just lost a recently purchased audio book from the iTunes music store. Is there anyway to retrieve an additional copy from the store without having to buy a replacement?

    You can only download stuff from the iTunes Store one time. You could try emailing them and seeing if they can make an exception, but I cannot promise anything:

  • HT201269 I can't download my purchased Audio books to my iPhone 5S. Why not?

    I upgraded to the iPhone 5S from 3G and after uploading files, apps and photos I noticed that not all my songs were uploaded and neither were any of my audio books. I clicked on the iTunes app and clicked on the MORE icon where the number 214 is in red. When I click, it shows 214 downloads, none are my audio books. WHen I click on song title it acts like its going to begin download and then I get error message: Unable to Dowload Song - could not be downloaded at this time. I hit the retry button and get the same error message. I cannot find and evidence at all on my iPhone that I have any Audio books that I have purchased through iTunes, and they show records of it. I can't get them to download if there is no reference point.

    I have just had the same issue as "wagtribe".
    I purchased a audio book for an 83-year-old relative that I'm nursing who is loosing her eyesight and bodily functions in what is now expected to be the last week of her life.
    I made the purchase on my 6-Plus synced to one iMac and fully expected it to be available to my iPad mini synced on my second iMac which are all synced to the same iTunes account so that I could leave it in the room with Auntie. Guess what, audio books are not transferable and Apple slugged me twice for the same book just so the old dear could have an audio book from Apple. Apple, I understand you have legal issues with publishers, but as we Australian's would say "Fair go Mate!" Apple can do better, as amply demonstrated with other iTunes file types.

  • I purchased audio book from iTunes store. It shows up in my iTunes library but is not uploading to my ipod Touch, even though my computer is authorized. Any suggestions?

    I purchased an audio book from iTunes store. It successfully downloaded to my iTunes library< but will not upload to my ipod Touch, even though my computer is authorized. Any suggestions? Any and all are greatly appreciated.

    If your iTunes is set on manual sync, then you have to manually drag and drop. Otherwise every time yousyncyou'll get all changes even if you don't want it.

  • I can't Sync a recently purchased audio book to my iPhone

    I just purchased an audio book through iTunes and dropped it into a new playlist I created. When I wnet ot sync wit my iPhone 4s the new playlist was not present in the music tab in my device. I even moved the book to a known playlist and synced again but it didnt copy. Help!

    The best way to read books on a Mac is the get the Kindle app, and purchase the books from the Amazon Kindle Store.
    The iBooks that you get from Apple cannot be used on a Mac.  As renstarr notes, they can only  be used on iDevices.
