Restoring a audiobook to my iphone

when i updated my iphone 4 to icloud 5 something like that i lost a audiobook i want to know how i can downloaded again to my iphone. God bless you

You buy only one download of audiobooks. It is your responsibility to backup your purchases.
Did you fail to transfer all of your purchases to your computer before updating?

How can I sync my iPhone to my Mac so I can remove a few but no all audiobooks from my iPhone?

I have lots of audiobooks on my iphone but not all are from iTunes. Today the genius bar guy showed me how to add my purchased audiobooks on my Mac. The problem is it's all or nothing. I can't pick and choose the books I want to take off my iPhone. I can't update my operating system until I remove a few audiobooks to make room.

Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your phone. Only if you back up your phone manually before syncing, you can restore your phone from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
Set up your iTunes account, disable autosync in iTunes, connect your phone to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your phone without syncing.
Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
When you connect your phone for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the phone for the first time.
Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.
There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

No there's not. Otherwise that wouldn't be very secure, would it?

Purchased 2 audiobooks on my iPhone 4S, would like to download onto iPad aswell but they aren't showing up in my iPads iTunes (I have not downloaded onto phone yet)

I have just bought 2 audiobooks on my iphone and want to download onto both iphone and iPad, but it isn't showing up in my iPad iTunes as 'downloading' as it does in my iphone. I have to connect to wifi to download it so it isn't downloading yet. Help?

You get one and only one download.
You would would have to transfer your audiobook from the iphone to the computer, then sync it to your ipad

Transferring protected WMA audiobooks to iTunes/iPhone using OverDrive Media Console

Hi there,
My local library is now offering audiobooks. I have downloaded one, that went fine - I have the file and can listen to it. The problem is that I can't seem to transfer the WMA Audiobook to my iPhone using this software they provided (OverDrive Media Console), even though their website says that it can be transferred to apple devices (including my iPhone) and the library site says that this particular audiobook is permitted to be transferred to apple devices (including the iPhone).
When I try to Transfer using the OverDrive Media Console, I get this error:
"The OverDrive Media Console Transfer Wizard is not able to connect to iTunes. If you intend to transfer content to the iTunes Library and/or a supported Apple device, please note that iTunes v9.0.2 (or newer) is required. iTunes is available as a free download from Apple; visit http://www.apple.com/itunes/download to download iTunes. If your system meets this requirement, please close any open iTunes dialog boxes then attempt to transfer again."
I have read that others have had the problem, but there are few solutions emerging, from what I can see anyway.
I have went to this website (http://drmlicense.one.microsoft.com/indivsite) in my Internet Explorer browser and upgraded the Windows Media Player security version. OverDrive says my security upgrade version is 2.9.0.1.
My iTunes is up to date as far as I know. iTunes 10.4.0.80. Perhaps the recent update is something to do with this problem? I don't know. I am using Windows 7, and the OverDrive Media Console version is 3.2.0.5.
I have changed my iPhone settings to "Manually manage music and videos", as OverDrive requests this.
When I try to put these protected WMA Audiobook files into my Automatically Add to iTunes folder, I get an error message saying:
"One or more of the songs being added are in the protected WMA format, including the song "examplesongname01.wma", and could not be converted.
iTunes can only convert unprotected WMA songs. If you have the original CDs for these songs, you can import them using iTunes."
I have restarted iTunes, OverDrive Media Console, and my computer countless times. My home network sharing is turned off; I mention it as I saw someone had suggested that as a solution.
The two suggested solutions I haven't tried yet are:
- convert them to MP3
- uninstall and reinstall iTunes & OverDrive Media Console again.
I don't really want to uninstall iTunes. I have a lot of music and audiobooks; it takes half aday for iTunes to load them all up again. As for converting to MP3s; I don't know if this is legal. Plus, I don't know if these protected DRM files can be converted like that.
Ok, well I hope someone else was in the same boat & solved it. Otherwise it'd be a real shame if we couldn't get these protected WMA audiobooks onto our iPhones.
Hope you can help.
Thanks.

Once you have downloaded the audiobook to Overdrive Media (OMC), you need to connect the Apple device to which you wish to transfer the ebook, then use the transfer button on OMC. That converts it to an mp3 file. The ebook cannot be transferred to iTunes. iTunes is simply the medium used in the transfer to an Apple device. The tutorial below covers all the specifics.
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 have 2 iPhones (1 personal, 1 business) but use the same Apple ID. I have replaced my personal iPhone but it has restored to my work iPhone. How do I restore it to my personal iPhone settings?

I have 2 iPhones (1 personal, 1 business) but use the same Apple ID. I have replaced my personal iPhone but it has restored to my work iPhone settings (photos/contacts/messages etc.) How do I restore it to my personal iPhone settings?

You're welcome.
First check to be sure the new phone is running the same or higher version of iOS as the one you backed up (Settings>General>About>Version). If it isn't, you'll need to update the iOS first. Then go to Settings>General>Reset, tap Erase All Content and Settings, go through the setup screens on the phone and when given the options, choose Restore from iCloud backup and follow the prompts, choosing the backup of your personal phone to restore to.
Be sure the phone is connected to wifi and your charger while it is restoring the backup.

How to restore the information for disabled iPhone 4 because battery discharged fully and no sync with iTune.

Hi;
I need to restore the information from disabled iPhone 4 because it went out of battery. I do know the passcode, but the phone is not showing the numbers to dial it. What is important for me is the data and not the phone. Below is the details of the phone:
1. Phone info:
iPhone 4
iOS version: not sure
Passcode: Known to me
2. Objective: To restore the data from the phone (Contacts, messages, files, ...etc)
3. Current Status:
i. Phone screen Content:
"iPhone is disabled"
"connect to iTune",
received sms,
"slide for emergency"
*******no passcode keyboard or dials!********
ii. Connect to iTunes status
- receive this message:" iTunes could not connect to the iPhone "xxxxxx's iPhone" because it is locked with a passcode. you must enter your passcode on the iPhone before it can be used with iTunes".
**********Passcode is known but no mean to enter it from iTune or from iPhone! *********
no appearance of iPhone in the sidebar
4. Reason for the issue:
i.I left the phone without SIM in a safe for a while. it has daily alarm. it seams that the battery drained completely and when I charged I got this status.
ii. I normally don't connect (sync) my mobile to computer. I may have couple of sync but they are outdated in one hand and in the other hand I really need the information after I took them. Further, the machine is formatted where I kept the sync. So practically they are not existing.

It's not possible to selectively restore parts of the backup - it's all or none. If you had been syncing your contacts, calendar and notes to iCloud or an app on your computer, just sync them back - it's automatic with iCloud if you set this in settings.
Your in-app history and data was contained in the backup you aren't using. There's no way to retrieve them without restoring the entire backup. For all you know, the problem causing the overheating was corrupted app data that you don't want back in the phone.

If you don't have a backup then you can restore it which means you've lost if forever. however if you do have a back-up, then connect your iPhone to iTunes and restore your phone.

How do I remove an audiobook from my iphone?

How do I remove or delete an audiobook from my iphone 4s?

I have the same issue, I purchased an audiobook through iTunes on my phone. When I sync my phone, the book is not checked to be synced. When I try and swipe to delete, the button does not appear. I can swipe to delete music, but not audiobooks. Is this inherent in the iOS?

Everytime I connect to iTunes the message ' iTunes was interrupted while restoring the contents of the iPhone. would you like to restore the phone again now? With the options cancel, continue restore and delete back-up??

I upgraded to iOS 5 on my 3GS without any issues but now everytime I connect to iTunes the message ' iTunes was interrupted while restoring the contents of the iPhone. would you like to restore the phone again now? with the options of cancel, continue restore and delete back-up. what happens if i click delete back up?

I'm not getting the message anymore!
What I did:
1.- Went to preferences in itunes/ Devices --> erased the corrupted backup (there were two backups)
2.- Upgraded to iOS 5.0.1
Done!
PS: Maybe upgrading solves the problem without erasing the corrupted backup

I bought an audiobook on my iPhone and I can't find it.

I purchased an audiobook from my iPhone 5c. I couldn't find it in iBooks, or Music or anyplace else. The only place that I can play it, is when I attach my iPhone to my iMac and view what is on my phone in iTunes. I can then play the audiobook. I bought the audiobook so that I could listen to it on trips, so having to be in front of my computer won't work for me.
I ended up buying the book version also, just in case I can't get this resolved. I'm also tempted to rebuy it via iTunes on the iMac and THEN sync it up with my iPhone and iPad.
I've checked Sync Audiobooks in iTunes but it doesn't show up there.
In iTunes I've gone to File -> Devices -> Transfer Purchases but to no avail.
In iTunes I've clicked on Store -> Check for Available Downloads and it's still not appearing anyplace except on the iPhone IN iTunes.
I've restarted iTunes, the iPhone and the iMac and still no change.
I've gone through the forums and have tried just about every suggestion that was given, which helped those others, but I haven't gotten there yet.
Any help would be appreciated.

Audiobooks are currently a one-time only download. If it's not on your computer's iTunes (it will be in the Books part of your library if it is) nor on a backup then you will need to copy it from your 4S to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases (File > Devices > Transfer Purchases on iTunes 11) and you can then sync it to your iPhone 5
