Song won't Appear as Audiobook

Hi.
I've imported an audio book from a CD, but it refuses to appear in the audiobook section both in Itunes and in my 3rd generation IPod nano. I've tried setting the ID3 genre to "Audio Books," "Audiobooks," and "Audiobook." None of these settings seemed to make a difference.
I'm wondering if anyone knows what criteria itunes and ipod use for determining whether or not a .mp3 file appears as music or a n audio book.
Thanks!

The actual Audiobooks entitlement in iTunes and in your iPod does not support audiobooks downloaded from CDs. This entitlement is just for audiobooks purchased through iTunes. When I import my audiobooks from CDs, I create another genre entitled Audiobooks. In finding my downloaded audiobooks from CDs, I must use an additional step in locating them, ie. click on "Music", then "Genre", then the newly created "Audiobooks" genre, then my audiobook selection of choice. Hope this helps.

Hi NYYJMM,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
You may want to reset your iPod nano and then sync again. If the issue persists, restore your iPod and try again. See these articles for the steps:

Songs won't appear on the nano?!

***?! i plugged in my iPod nano to my home computer, downloaded my library, then i went to toronto, and to charge it, i loaded itunes onto another computer, then plugged in the ipod... and now my nano shows that i hav no songs at all! The second computer doesn't have any music on it... is that significant? Pls help! I NEED MUSIC!

Welcome to the discussions.
It sounds like you synced your nano with the empty-library computer. This would erase all your music. A warning box with the following should have appeared:
The iPod "iPod" is linked to another iTunes music library. Do you want to change the link to this iTunes music library and replace all existing songs and playlists on this iPod with those from this library?
In the future, be wary of this.

Pre-ordered available song won't appear in purchased in iTunes?

I pre-ordered One Direction's new album Four, and have received all of the available songs except one, which was the first to be released other than "Steal my Girl", titled "ready to run". It states that I have pre-ordered the song, but will not show up in purchased, even though I know it is available from looking at the album not signed into my account. When I sign in, it just states it was pre-ordered but has no options for download. How can I download it?

Hi emster829,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you have preordered an album but the available songs haven't downloaded yet, try the steps mentioned in this article first:
iTunes Store: About pre-orders - Apple Support
Download a pre-ordered item
When a pre-ordered item becomes available, you will receive an email letting you know that you can download your pre-order.
If you enabled the option to automatically download prepurchased content in iTunes, then your pre-ordered content may already be in your library. If not, click the download link provided in your email notification, and your pre-ordered content will begin to download. You can also use the Check for Available Downloads feature in iTunes on your computer (choose Store > Check for Available Downloads) to begin downloading your pre-order.
If the available songs do not download, you may want to report an issue with your iTunes Store purchase:
Report an problem with an item you bought from the iTunes Store, App Store, Mac App Store, or iBooks Store - Apple Support
All the best,
Jeremy

When using Remote 2.0 on iPad, songs won't appear in alphabetical order

Anybody else getting this? Since upgrading to Remote 2.0 when clicking on the Songs tab I will get Artists in alphabetical order with their songs listed underneath. This is different than the Artists tab which just lists Artists alphabetically without their songs listed. I get this behavior on my iPhone 3G also. I can't get the Songs tab to just list Songs alphabetically. On my iPodtouch I have Remote 1.0 and it lists songs alphabetically like always.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
Cheers

Hi,
I think we are talking about the same issue?:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=12348434&#12348434
I contacted the service several times for this issue, but unfortunately nothing happend.

WHEN I CLICK ON SOME SONGS AN ! APPEARS TO LEFT OF SONG AND WON'T PLAY. I DON'T UNDERSTAND !

THERE SEEMS TO BE NO RHYME OR REASON TO THIS. THE EXCLAMATION POINT APPEARS ON SONGS THAT I HAVE PURCHASED AND DOWNLOADED AND ON SONGS THAT I DOWNLOADED FROM MY OWN CDs. ONCE THE ! APPEARS, THE SONG WON'T PLAY. IT'S ALWAYS THE SAME SONGS THAT THIS HAPPENS TO.
QUITE SOME TIME AGO, ALL OF THESE SONGS PLAYED JUST FINE, THEN, "OUT OF THE BLUE" THIS PROBLEM STARTED. I'VE TRIED EVERYTHING I KNOW TO DO. I HAVE CONTACTED iTUNES AND HAVE ACTUALLY RE-PURCHASED ONE OF THE SONGS TO SEE WHAT WOULD HAPPEN. IT PLAYS JUST FINE. WHEN THE ! APPEARS, IT IS ACCOMPANIED BY THIS MESSAGE: THIS SONG COULD NOT BE USED BECAUSE THE ORIGINAL FILE COULD NOT BE FOUND. WOULD YOU LIKE TO LOCATE IT? I AM UNABLE TO LOCATE ANY OF THE SONGS. THERE ARE SO MANY WITH THIS PROBLEM AND I CANNOT AFFORD TO RE-PURCHASE THEM. CAN SOMEONE OUT THERE PLEASE HELP ME. SO FAR iTUNES HAS NOT BEEN OF MUCH HELP. THANK YOU SO MUCH !! AMY O.

This forum is for questions from those managing sites on iTunes U, Apple's service for colleges and universities to post educational material in the iTunes Store. You'll be most likely to get help with this issue if you ask in the general iTunes forums.

I'm trying to burn a playlist to a CD but some of the songs won't burn. They appear grey shaded with the checkbox unchecked. I can play these songs. Any idea why they wont burn?

When I tried to add a song to my iPod, it won't appear under "Songs."

If I choose to add it to a playlist, it'll appear on my iPod in the playlis and I can play the songt, but no matter what I do it won't appear under songs. The artists name also won't appear under artist.

I have the same problem, and after hours of trying to figure out the problem i finally did!! Its going to be a pain in the *** but its the only way. :/
1. Look for the song file.
2. Right click and choose prefences
3. Go to details and edit the information
- "Title" aka songs name
- "Album artist"
- "Album"
-The rest of the stuff can be filled in if you want
4. Click OK
5. Drag it into itunes
Hope this help. ;D

Song Name Won't Appear

When I click on the song to play it, the name of the song doesn't appear. The time remaining doesn't appear either. All that appears is a black period in the middle of the screen...what is wrong??

The first thing I would try is to make sure that the song info is properly entered into the file. The file name is different from the info entered in the file format. Try right clicking the song in the library, and click get info. Then go to the info tab and check that the info is entered properly there. Then connect the ipod and let it update the file. Then, disconnect it and try to play the song. This is one idea. There might be other problems but this is one place to start.

OS X Snow Leopard 10.6 requires a Mac with an Intel processor and a few other details; here are the OS X 10.6 technical specifications (including system requirements). The About This Mac can get you system details, if you don't already know them.
I don't know off-hand of an Intel processor at 667 MHz; that was one of the speeds encountered with the G4-class PPC systems, Those don't support Snow Leopard AFAIK. (The most recent similar G4-class PPC Mac was released around 2003.)
Is the Safari icon you are referring to as missing the Safari icon that's often in the dock?
If so, does Safari exist in the Applications directory?
If it does, drag Safari back to the dock.
If Apple Mail.app is no longer set up, then does reconfiguring it work?
It's also possible that there are issues or problems with the upgrade; that's happened occasionally over the years.

ITunes Match songs don't appear on other mobile devices

Hi,
I uploaded all my music on iTunes Match and there are a couple problems when I tried to play it on my iPhone or iPad.
First, on my iPhone, some songs won't play even though I downloaded the whole playlist with all the songs on it. I would select the song I would like to play and it won't play that song but instead play a different song even though the title of the song I want to play still appears on the iPhone but the play bar doesn't move or play. The iTunes Match seems to cause this problem since if I turn it off and just copy the songs from my computer directly, it plays perfectly.
Secondly, when I tried to find an album I uploaded on iTunes Match to download it to my iPad but somehow it's not upthere on the cloud or itunes Match for me to download to my iphone or iPad even though I uploaded it a week ago and showed in my computer as already uploaded.
Both of these problems seem to steam from iTunes Match but I am not sure what the fixes for these are so if you guys can help, I would really appreciate that.
Thanks,

Here is how I fixed it.
Open the latest version of iTunes.
Choose Store > Sign In.
Enter your Apple ID and password, and click Sign In.
Choose Store > View My Account. You may be asked to re-enter your Apple ID password.
In the "iTunes in the Cloud" section, click Turn Off Auto-Renew to the right of iTunes Match.
I canceled it because it is wasting to much of my time and energy. " everything just works on a MAC" haha hardly.

I have bought complete albums in the past... Now that I am trying to download them from the cloud, some songs no longer appear in My Purchases... How can/do I retrieve them?

Do those tracks still show on the album in the store ? If not then the rights-holder must have removed them, in which case you won't be able to redownload them, you will have to copy them back from your backup of your downloads/library. If they are still on the album in the store then check to see if you've hidden them : iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases - Apple Support

Songs no longer appear?

songs no longer appear.? the files are there under albums and so on, just not "songs", which doesn't appear on any of the display prefernces. neither does "name". But both of those columns appear in itunes and the ipod without anything listed. In the system the files are still there.

My Itunes opens on my PC but the songs won't play, I have no idea about what to do?

My Itunes opens on my PC but the songs won't play. I have no idea about what to do to resolve the issue. I appreciate any help. It is an HP computer about a year old running Windows 7.

Try forgetting the network, reboot your iPad and then try joining the network again.
Settings>WiFi>Your network name>Forget this network. Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
Go back to Settings>WiFi>Your network name>Enter your password>Tap Join.
If that doesn't work, reset network settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings. Reboot the iPad again. Go back to Settings>WiFi>Your network name>Enter your password>Tap join.

These are user-to-user forums, you are not talking to Apple here.
Audiobooks (and ringtones) are currently a one-time only download. I believe that they are all supplied to Apple by audible.com, so I assume that it's them who are requiring the one-time only download restriction. To get it onto your other devices you will need to sync it via a computer. Depending upon what country that you are in, Audible.com have their own app (Audiobooks from Audible) so you might be able to buy direct from them, though I don't know whether you can buy within their app or download audiobooks directly from them within the app e.g. whether they need to be copied via a computer.
