Purchased Audiobooks and the Cloud - Syncing?

Why don't my audiobooks that I bought from iTunes show up in my Purchases and why can't I sync them to the Cloud? I was trying to get the purchased audiobooks on my Air while away from home, and noticed they didn't show up on my Cloud or in my Purchased list in the iTunes store. I thought that, maybe, my main laptop wasn't configured to sync, but it is, and I still can't get the audiobooks to show up. They exist neither in the Music nor the Books tabs on that page.
What's up with that?

"Why don't my audiobooks that I bought from iTunes show up in my Purchases and why can't I sync them to the Cloud? "
Because the audiobook industry does not allow this. You get one download. Audiobooks are not in icloud

HT201272 I'm trying to download a previously purchased audiobook from the cloud, however it only shows me songs not purchased audiobook (which I have quite a few). Help

I'm trying to download a previously purchased audiobook from the cloud, however it only shows me music and none of the multiple audiobooks I've purchased!? Anyone with this same or similar issue?

You cannot redownload audiobooks at all.
It is your responsibility to backup your purchases, and all other content for that matter.

HT1727 How can i retrieve purchased audiobooks that were not synced (problem encountered during sync process). My account shows the purchase history, but the apps are no longer displayed in itunes or on my ipad or iphone

How can i retrieve purchased audiobooks that were not synced (problem encountered during sync process)? My account shows the purchase history, but the apps are no longer displayed in itunes or on my ipad or iphone. I'm not very savvy with using iTunes - I don't think is very intuitive (unlike me:)). Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

I opened iTunes and the cloud is not syncing up, so i cannot watch movies or tv shows over the cloud, however it was there a few days ago, now randomly gone.

Are you sure you bought and not rented them? Renting lets you to access the video for up to 48 hours.

Is there a way to Move files to the iCloud thus freeing up disk space on my Mac? Or does iCloud only sync (replicate) files between my Mac and the cloud?

Is there a way to Move files to the iCloud thus freeing up disk space on my Mac? Or does iCloud only sync (replicate) files between my Mac and the cloud? I want to free up disk space on my Mac and assumed that the icloud would be a good way to do this, but having 'moved' 70Gb of files to the iCloud drive (I've upgraded to 200Gb storage) my Mac is still nearly full and I've realised that it seems to just Sync files just like dropbox.

So, the big question is did the Apple guys confirm that this is how the new iCloud drive should be working? I'm guessing, from your response, that this is indeed the case. Are they going to fix this anytime soon? I thought that this was a new function of the iCloud drive in Yosemite.
I just want an online storage facility to back up my photo & music collections. I did look at Dropbox as they have a good deal going with their Dropbox Pro, however this is still just a sync service where the Master files reside on your local disk drive - although I have read that there may be a way to work around this. Still not ideal.

I have purchased Acrobat from the Cloud and downloaded and installed it. I received an order number but no serial number and cannot get it to finish installing Where do I get the serial number!?!

Like most online purchases you would normally receive the order number before the order is processed so you should be patient and allow some time for the processing to happen. If you feel you have waited long enough then you should contact Adobe Support directly and try to get information on your order since you now have a reference for it that you can share with them.

HT1725 Unable to download purchased audiobook. The book says it was downloaded. Can't get to spot from iTunes to insert password. Please help!

Please help?

Your question/statement makes no sense.
"Unable to download purchased audiobook. The book says it was downloaded" What book is saying this? Is the audiobook talking to you?
"Can't get to spot from iTunes to insert password" This makes no sense to me either.
If you are trying to download a previously purchased audiobook, you can't do that. You get one download of an Audiobook and then you must purchase it again if you delete it or do not have it in your iTunes library to sync back to the iPd.
If you can't find the audiobook, look in the More Tab of the Music App.

Audiobooks in the cloud?

I'm unable to locate audiobooks in the cloud (similar to music and movies)...does apple enable past audiobook pruchase to be stored in cloud. (I would like to get I audiobooks off of my old iphone 4).

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.

I can't figure out why my ipad is saying it's full but I have just purchased storage on the cloud

Not sure what I am doing wrong here. I am not able to take pic or vids on ipad as it's saying it's full but I have purchased storage on the cloud and set it up as directed on the website
Can anyone help me figure out what I need to do please
Thanks

An easy check. Go into the settings on your iPad, and under your iCloud account, check the setting for "photos". If there is a setting for "my photo stream" and it is on, then you are using Photo Stream - My Photo Stream FAQ - Apple Support
Note from that FAQ that Photo Stream never used any of your personal iCloud storage anyway, so buying more personal storage does not increase space for photo stream. Photo stream is a system intended for synchronization of images across multiple devices and was never intended to be used as permanent storage or backup. It is a temporary parking place for images to allow for them to be shared across multiple devices.
With iOS 8.3 and OS X 10.10.3, there is a new service, iCloud Photo Library which actually IS online storage of your photo's - all your photo's. It does use space in your personal iCloud account. Since the default free storage is only 5GB and is used for your iCloud mail, backups, synchronized files and data, the default setting for iCloud Photo Library is to keep all photo's on the device as they are, in order not to fill up your free iCloud storage. If you purchase additional storage and want to remove photos from an iDevice or computer, then you need to change the settings on the device to clear out space once it has uploaded images to your iCloud account.
If, in your iPad's settings, general, about just look at the "version" line. If it is not showing 8.3, then you cannot possibly be using iCloud Photo Library and must be using Photo Stream. Until you upgrade to iOS 8.3 you would not even have the option to use iCloud Photo Library as it is a new service, introduced with iOS 8.3.
If you are running iOS 8.3, under your iCloud account settings, under "Photos" you will have three settings:
1. iCloud Photo Library - enable this to use your personal iCloud account storage for cloud storage of your photo library
2. My Photo Stream - enable this to synchronize photo's across all your devices that share the same iCloud account. This does NOT use any of your personal iCloud account's storage. Images will be automatically deleted from your stream after 30 days.
3. iCloud Photo Sharing - allows you to create albums which can be shared (viewed) with others.

Will we be able to download purchased movies from the cloud?

WE can currently download previously purchased APPS, MUSIC, and TV SHOWS. Will we ever be able to download our purchased movies via the cloud?

There is no way to know what will happen in the future, unless Apple announces.

Hello Addymay2,
I would recommend signing out of your Apple ID in Settings -> iTunes and App Stores. After this, close all open apps and restart your device. Once your iPad is powered back up, sign back into your Apple ID in Settings -> iTunes and App Stores.
iOS: Sign in with a different Apple ID in the iTunes Store, App Store, and iBooks Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1311
iOS: Force an app to close
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5137
Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset

Is there any way to download all previously purchased audiobooks and tv shows after a complete dataloss

Is there any way to download all previously purchased audiobooks and tv shows after a complete dataloss, my ipod is not updated and I have lost everything?
Thanks

Chris, I certainly don't mind additional questions and postings.
I believe there are many issues with Apple Loops and Logic that need to be resolved and people need to be aware of that. Unfortunately, in opposite to the old "german" version of Logic , there's no lifetime tech support, you can't even call and ask the question after 60 days , which isn't right for a professional software of this level, especially considering the fact that many things still remain vague in Logic even for developers and tech support people!( believe me, I've called and asked!)
Issues like that need to be resolved over the phone with the company, period!
One thing I also learned over the years as a Mac OSX user, if something doesn't work, don't mess with it. Delete your drive and re-install everything. This is very frustrating , I know, but unfortunately this is the only way to deal with OSX issues, if you got a problem with your system, don't try to fix it. It's never gonna be the same again. I know , it's off the topic a little bit, but if your content is missing from the system files, before installing your new Logic, back up your important files, wipe up your drive and clean install Mac OSX , run updates and then install the Logic. Most likely , everything will be in it's place, at least 90% or more. I gave up trying to make two system in my house to be compatible 100% , but it's OK if they're 90% or more identical. I spent enormous amount of time trying to find out what's missing and where, I visited most of the forums and there's no clean answer.

Why doesn't the cloud sync my calendars?

Why doesn't the cloud sync my calendars?

First check that all your settings are correct, that calendar syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
Make sure the calendars you are using are in your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud account (you can do this by clicking/tapping the calendar button in the top left corner of the application ), non iCloud calendars will not sync.
If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your calendars are in the iCloud account, you might try unchecking calendar syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling calendar syncing settings.

Is there an alternative to the cloud sync

As in the title expressed the cloud sync is a no go for my business computers. So I am looking for an alternative or have I to throw out all apple computers?

The simplest way is using OS X Server.
Harder but fee, is Baïkal.
There are other options, and I bet you'll see a lot more in the future. The technologies are both open source which is why Apple switched to them instead of hanging on to their proprietary kludge.
Baïkal looks the solution, but do i understand correctly it requires me to have a Mac running as server 24/7? Rather than having my MacBook (which switches on and off due to the nature of working with a MacBook) do the job? As a simple end user who chose Mac for its ease of use, this seems an exciting path to go....
No. You can turn it on when you want to sync, just like when you turn it on to plug in the USB cable.

HT1657 I've just rented End of Watch and the lip sync is out, what should I do?

Try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account (Store > View My Apple ID on iTunes 11) and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that film and use the 'Report a Problem' link and fill in details about the problem (iTunes support should reply within, I think, about 24 hours).
Some people have had a problem with the 'report a problem' link (it's been taking people to this site on a browser instead of showing a form in iTunes) - if it does that to you then try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page.
