Sharing audible books

Only some of the audio books (PC) are showing up on the shared computer (MAC). All the music and other items are all showing and sharing is working fine.
However, a few of the books are not showing on the MAC, so we cannot add them to the MAC iTunes library. All the books were purchased through Audible.com.
Is is the format of the books?
Thank you.

If you got them from audible re download them onto your Mac. I use the enhanced format and it seems to work fine
Go to My Library on Audible and you should be able to redownload

Adding an Address Book card from a shared address book to a Group

I have an Address Book Sharing Question/Problem. With the .Mac Family Pack, I have multiple .Mac Accounts. I have set up Address Book to share addresses from the individual .Mac accounts and set each to be able to edit the shared addresses. Initially, I was hoping that these would appear in each users Address Book and sync all changes, instead of just appearing as a shared Address Book below the users Address Book. But that does not appear to be the case.
However, my question/problem is that I want to be able to add a card from a shared Address Book (for example from my wife’s Address Book) into a current group in my Address Book (say a family member group). I can drag the card in, but the information is apparently copied as a new card into my Address Book and changes I make are no longer synced with the shared Address Book (my Wife’s Address Book). Is this working correctly? (I know .Mac has been acting up in the last few weeks) If so, there does not appear to be much value in say sharing family, doctor, and friends info from my wife’s address book, as I can not create my own groups or if I do, our contact info is no longer synced. The new cards I copy in are also not visible to the shared Address Book, so we will also have no way of seeing that a card has been changed. Is there anyway to truly share a card or group of contacts between users of separate .Mac accounts so that the contacts can be separated into different groups for each user and card info / changes will remain synced? If this is already supposed to be occurring, any ideas as to a fix?

Also, if I drag an entire group from a shared Address Book to my Address Book, it is copied in a blue color, making me think "Cool! It is different from a group that I create (which are white), so it must be shared!" But it is not. Changes to cards in this "copied" group are not synced to the original shared Address Book. So, what does the blue color mean?

I bought an iPhone 4S last year. Today was the 5th time that one of my Audible books was suddenly cut off 3/4 into the book.The solutions offered to correct the problem did not work. Next phone won't be an iPhone. And books will go on different devices.

Does anybody else have problems with Audible books being cut off in mid-listening, and none of the solutions suggested comes even close to being applicable? It's my 5th time in a year. And I've had it. The interruptions and consequent time consuming attempts to find a solution, and once I do, again spending way too much time finding the place in the book, where I was so rudely interrupted have pushed my patience to the limit. I downloaded my books on different devices, and use my iPhone for calls and texting. Once it's time to get a new Smartphone I'll stay far, far away from any Apple product. I don't care to waste time to get my smartphone to do what it is supposed and offering to do. And I am really getting ****** of when I am driving in the middle of nowhere, listening to a good book and Apple decides that that would be a good time to put a stop to that. Mostly I wanted to get a response from Apple Support, and am not sure how I was channeled into an Apple Support Community (what a ridiculous term!). My problem is with Apple itself. But not for long anymore......

Anything?

Setting Up a Shared Address Book

Hello, and thank you for taking a look at my question.
I concur with the many people on this forum who are amazed how frustratingly difficult it is to setup a shared Address Book. I have a small office network of 4 users (all running the latest Snow Leopard) connected to a Mac Pro running the most current Snow Leopard Server.
This forum did lead me to 2 good articles on the subject:
http://osxupgrade.com/create-a-global-address-book-with-mac-os-x-snow-leopard-se rver/456/
http://translate.google.com/translate?js=y&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&layout=1&eotf= 1&u=http%3A%2F%2Fsupport.osxplain.de%2Fcontent%2F4%2F1%2Fde%2Fgruppenkontakte.ht ml&sl=de&tl=en
I followed them carefully and created my new Group in Workgroup Manager which I then populated with the users in my office.
I then tried to configure Address Book at the client's iMac. I couldn't get Address Book to 'see' the server.
There are 2 areas I may have got wrong and I would be very grateful for some advice/guidance please:
On the client Mac, how can I check the fully qualified address of my server to ensure I am entering the correct address in the Address Book Wizard when creating the new account (can I not use the static IP address of the server)?
On the server, I have created, and started, the Address Book Server service. What should I enter in the Authentication > Host Name please? The manual says "It should be a fully qualified domain name matched with a reverse lookup record". How can I check I have got this correct?
Sorry for the obvious questions but it's all new to me.
Many thanks
Chris

On the client Mac, how can I check the fully qualified address of my server to ensure I am entering the correct address in the >Address Book Wizard when creating the new account (can I not use the static IP address of the server)?
Open the Terminal window on your client Mac and type *dig [name of your server]* and check that it returns the IP address of your server. Then type *dig -x [ip address of your server] and check it returns the name of your server e.g. server.domain.com
This will show you what your client Mac thinks you server is.
Do the same on the server and it should match. If not then you may have a problem. Here is an example.

In the above example - you would put server.bumfodder.com

I recently had to get a new computer, my list of audible books is there but can't open because original file cannot be found. how do I find them or redownload them when they are not in my purchased list anymore?

I recently had to purchase a new computer, after doing so I no longer can open my audible books. the list is there, but I get an error message telling me that the original file cannot be found. How can I redownload them when they are not in my purchased list anymore when I go to the Apple Store??

Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519 - enabled with iTunes 10.3 and newer; not available in all countries; apps, books (not audiobooks), music, t.v. shows, and movies (some - not all studios have permitted this). Movies currently available in the USA only. Downloading previously purchased movies and TV shows requires iTunes 10.6 or later. Discontinued items not available. For items not included in the iCloud list, or locations or computer systems where iCloud is not (yet?) available, you only get one download per fee paid. Apple notes it is your responsibility to back up your purchases.
Select the store on the left side of iTunes.

You can re-download your available previous purchases.

ITunes only burns the first two discs of audible book over and over

I have purchased, downloaded, and burned many Audible books in iTunes successfully . . . until now.
NOW I cannot get my current purchased book to burn correctly.
What I do...
I create a playlist for the audiobook.
I drag the audiobook into the playlist.
I right click on the playlist and ask it to burn to disc.
I am told the book will have to be spread across multiple discs.
I click "ok".
The playlist begins to burn to disc.
I am prompted to insert another disc.
I do so.
This goes on and on for what seems like too many discs (normally, an unabridged audio takes about 8-12 discs depending on the length.)
I check the discs in a portable player and discover that the first two discs are fine, but that the third and fourth discs are just repeats of the first two discs.
I check the rest of the discs I have burned (18 at this point) and find that the first two discs are repeated over and over and over again!
What I did to try and resolve the issue:
I checked to see if I had the latest iTunes downloaded. I do.
I emailed Audible and they had me delete all occurences of the audiobook from my system and then re-download a fresh copy. I did.
Tried to reburn the new playlist with the new downloaded audio book.
The same issue occurrs and I waste another 18 discs.
It should be noted that the only reason I only wasted these 18 discs each time and not more is because I finally cancelled the burn.
iTunes was still asking for more discs on disc 18 (and the audio book was only about 10 hours long).
Any help resolving this would be appreciated.
Thanks.

THIS... is precisely why I use Toast.
I know that doesn't help a lot, but I have NEVER been fond of iTunes for burning.

Upgrading to 7.0 iTunes won't import Audible books

When I installed the update to iTunes 7.0, it tries to load my audible book library, but then comes up with a login box for my audible account name and pw. WHen I enter it, it returns a message "Could not authorize the computer because you do not have enought computer access privileges." I am a domain admin and domain admins, domain users, and my account are listed as owners and full control of the files. This worked just fine prior to the upgrade.

I got iTunes to import the audible files. I was actually having problems with my DSL line for awhile. After I got the DSL fixed, I downloaded the audible files again to my computer. iTunes was then able to import the files. It seemed very strange but it's working. Good luck.

Audible Books not showing in playlist

I have my Audible books synched up in my iPad. When I go to the iPod application and select "Audiobooks" it shows a book icon that says "Audible (5 Books)" but when I click on this icon the list appears empty.
The only way I can play the books is going through the iPad search and typing a part of the title. I am then able to play it, although it still will not show in the library. I can not use the search function within the library, it has to be the main iPad search.
Most of my books are using the "Enhanced" format (it is compatible since I can play them). I am also selecting specific books from the "Books" tab in iTunes. I tried choosing the option to sync all books and the only change is that the folder will show a higher number.
Any ideas on how to get the titles to show in the list.

How can I burn audible book to disc with chapters?

When I burn an audible book to disc, instead of chapters itunes breaks the recording into 7 minute tracks. The chapter information is there in itunes - I can see it and navigate using it. What am I doing wrong?
Any help appreciated!

Hi Joanna,
What Adobe application are you working with? Are you working with a PDF file in Reader or Acrobat? Is the Save As command available? If you are using Acrobat/Reader, is the PDF password protected (do you see SECURED in the title bar)?
Best,

Why can't I access my Audible books on iPhone5?

I bought a new iPhone 5, synced to my Mac but unable to access my Audible books ... any ideas?

Play the Auduble file in iTunes to be prompted to autorize your Adible accuont with the new iTunes Library. If it is already authorized try selecting "De-authorize Audible account" in the iTunes Advanced menu first then play a book to re-authorize it.

How do I redownload a audible book that is messed up?

Downloaded audible book won't play correctly and dneed to redownload. How do I do this?

do you mean you downloaded an audiobook from Audible or did you download it from the iTunes store ?
if the latter, try this:
in iTunes, access your *purchase history* via your account in the iTunes store,
find the file in question, and click on the *report a problem button*. report the problem.
clicking here should take you directly to your iTunes store log-in window.

Audible Book file size?

I have not purchased any audible books from ITMS yet. Is there some way to determine the file size that will be downloaded prior to purchase? There may be an obvious way but I haven't been able to find it and I want to get an idea of how much space on my hard drive and ipod I will need.
Thanks for any help,
John

The size of the files will vary depending on the length of the book.
Here are some example sizes:
Book 1: split into 4 separate files of 2 to 2.5 hours each. The file sizes vary from 29 to 36 MB.
Book 2: split into 3 files of 2.25 to 2.5 hours each. The file sizes vary from 31 to 35 MB.

Sharing address book contacts

Hello
We run a small network (less than 10 users) and run mail, file & user services off Mac OS X Server 10.4.x. I will probably upgrade to Leopard Server when available.
I need to find a way of sharing address book information amongst our users. This does not mean contact information for users, it means contact information for customers, suppliers, etc.
You would think that this is simple, and perhaps it is, but I cannot find a way of doing it.
I see that in Leopard Server we will have shared calendars, but still no sign of shared address books, that I can see.
I have tried various syncing tools with mixed success. The most promising looked to be Sync Together from Mark/Space but it will not run on Mac OS X Server (at least not unless you leave it logged in as some user).
I looked at Now-up-to-date/Contact but this is often reported as flaky - though I understand they have a new sharing product due some time soon.
Am I missing something? Is there a way of using LDAP server to distribute contact info? The data must be read/write ie capable of being edited in Address Book.
Thanks for any help
Regards
James

SugarCRM or most any other Customer Relationship Management (CRM) package can potentially provide what you want here, though such — even an open-source package — might be viewed as overkill. Few of these are tied into Mail and its address book; you're operating in the CRM environment.
Leopard Server offers [Directory|http://www.apple.com/server/macosx/features/directory.html], which might well be what you seek. Stick your customers in the directory, in their own groupings. (Assuming Directory offers a hierarchical organization, you could have Customers -> Company -> Contacts, for instance.)
The Directory feature certainly appears to be the next round of the LDAP and Open Directory support in the existing Tiger Server environment. Conceivably, you could load your data into the existing LDAP Open Directory environment, but that might not be (isn't) optimal.
A slightly more involved approach would be to use an RSS feed for your contact info and contact updates, and create and one of the Data Detector action routines that Leopard Mail offers; basically rolling your own distribution system. Load your contacts via RSS, and whenever you connect to your network, the Mail RSS feed and a custom Data Detector could be used to synchronize your address book with the RSS feed.
But yes, Leopard Directory looks to be the best way for now, based on what's been published.
