Hello rhdarby2,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information, take a look at:
iPod shuffle: Playing audiobooks and podcasts
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1831
Adding Audiobooks and Podcasts to iPod shuffle
The Autofill feature of iTunes will not add audiobooks and podcasts to any iPod model. They can be manually added by dragging them to the iPod shuffle in iTunes.
For iPod shuffle (3rd generation), you must enable Manually manage music in the Summary tab to drag songs to iPod shuffle. Additionally, you can automatically sync audiobooks using the Music tab and sync podcasts using the Podcasts tab in iTunes.
Have a nice day,

I just recently got an iPod touch 5 and it won't let me download apps. It says they are free but when I install it , it keeps popping up saying before purchasing I must tap continue to verify my purchase something like that. Idk what to do. !!!!!

Yes. You can set the payment method to "None" once you log into iTunes on your PC/Mac. I have it set up this way.

Referenced Images Say They are Referenced But Are Not.

Is anyone having the following problem? I have about 4500 images that were Imported into Aperture as Referenced. Have been working with them over the past month. Tried making a Web Journal recently and after exporting the pages, many of the images did not show up in the web pages although the caption did. I went back to my Album and went through the images. The ones that didn't show up in the web pages were very strange looking within the Album. As a thumbnail they looked fine but when I put the loupe on them at 100% it was obvious that they were some sort of small jpeg or something due to lots of jaggies and poor quality. Even though the Reference icon was supposedly fine, telling me it was online since it did not have a yellow warning label, for some reason Aperture was not accessing the original RAW file.
I now have hundreds of images I have to try and find in the Album that say they are referenced but really are not.
Prior to this web journal problem showing up Aperture had been showing me many of these files were not online even though the drive was definitely hooked to the computer and I was able to go to the same images via the Finder and actually see that they were there. One minute the overall project registered images offline, I would click on an Album and they would register as Online. Then switch back to the Project and amazingly they register as online. Back down to the Album and it tells me they are off line. Back and forth from project to album and a different icon 50% of the time. I knew something was up.
I eventually tracked down many of the images that said they were online but by reviewing them it was obvious they were not due to the jaggies I mentioned above. When I would find one like this I went to Manage Referenced Photos and reconnected the image even though it's telling me it is already connected. After doing this to many of the images I reproduced the web pages and they then showed up. I nearly had all the images showing up except for one that I must have missed in reconnecting so I went back to do just that. As I scrolled through the Album and the Web Journal, many of the thumbnails would turn gray and then finally an image would show up. This happened to dozens of images. I found the one that had not shown up in the last export of the web pages, reconnected it (even though it said it was connected) and then exported the web pages again. Unfortunately I was back to square one. Once again dozens of images were now not showing up in the export of the web pages again.
I just can't believe how buggy 1.5.2 seems to be. I thought maybe it was something to do with Repairing Permissions so I went and did all of that. Still no luck! Anyone else experience anything like this? I'm about ready to give up on this software.

Victor,
Yes larger hard drives will help but the day they are large enough to fit in a laptop with a professional photographers entire collection is a long way off and may never happen. There is no reason why Referenced files needs to be so difficult. Two quality programs that handled it with ease was RAW Shooter (now gone having been bought by Adobe) and Photo Mechanic which is superb for some tasks. For Aperture to have this many issues with referencing images is unacceptable and the market place will bear this out. I've quite using the program all together and have gone back to Photo Mechanic combined with IView and Photoshop. There's still room for an Aperture like product but Apple better get moving to make it work better. Microsoft just announced some of the upcoming IView capabilities that will be available next year. Adobe has CS3 and Lightrooom and I'm guessing Photo Mechanic isn't resting on it's heels. I really, really wanted to like Aperture and I worked with it day in and day out for nearly two months. As time went on the Referenced files just kept getting more and more unstable and I lost a ton of work due to it no longer being able to see some of those files.

This doesn't work for Soen Transit speakers. My MacBook pro (mid2010) running Yosemite has never found the speakers. I'm considering returning them to Apple. Also chances of it discoing my new iPad Air is 50/50. Any ideas?

HT201272 I have a bunch of songs that show up under purchased and say they are downloaded but when I try to play them in my itunes it says they can't be located. How do I get them back so they work?

I have a bunch of songs that show up under my purchased list and they say they are downloaded. But when I try to play them in itunes it says it can't locate them. How do I correct this?

Welcome to Apple Communities
Select the songs and go to Edit > Delete. Then, download the music in iTunes Store

My songs say they're transferring but aren't on the iPod.

I just bought my iPod yesterday- it's a 60GB iPod video. I bought a PCMCIA USB2.0 card so I could hook it up to my laptop and got my iTunes library all set to transfer. I plugged the iPod into the card and, after some hiccups, got it to recognize it and didn't even see the "high-speed usb device plugged into non-high-speed slot" message that it gave me when I tried it in the 1.1 slot in the back. So far, so good.
It started synching up with the iTunes library, which is cool cuz that's what I wanted. It ran for about half an hour, loading maybe 2.5 GB of the 45.5 GB total library, before my computer overheated (a common problem with the HP Pavillion ze1250, just a word of warning). Still, it's a start, I figured. I took the iPod out of the handy felt case that I stashed it in because I'm pathologically afraid of a four-hundred dollar toy getting scratched and went to look at my new music library-
and saw that it only had about 750mb of music. Alphabetically speaking, iTunes had told me that I had transferred all the way down to Bob Dylan and my iPod hardly even touched on the Afghan Whigs.
I was confused but it was late and I figured I'd just try it again. I hooked up the iPod to the computer again, rebooted, and took it from where it left off. iTunes told me that the iPod had 2.5GB of songs, but kept readjusting that number- 1.9, then 1.5, then 1.2, then 750mb, at which point it started transferring songs again.
It went on again seemingly without a hitch- an hour or so of transferring and I was back around 4GB. Satisfied, I went to bed.
When I woke up this morning, I checked the iPod all excited and saw that, yet again, it was at 750mb, exactly where it had been after the first failed transferring session.
It still tells me that the songs are being transferred, but I've no idea where they are. I've no idea what it's actually doing or how to fix it. Please help me, Apple-people. I am not one of you, but I would like to learn.

60GB iPod video Windows XP

Any advice is appreciated, but unfortunately I checked both of those things almost immediately after the problem and it was nothing so simple. It told me that the iPod's capacity was at 40+GB full, which would mean that it had transferred pretty much my whole iTunes library, but I still got nothing on the actual device. I think it's going back to Best Buy later tonight, and Apple and I shall forever part ways, no hard feelings.

I have many apps that say they are downloading but have stoped

Since the OS7 ipdate I have many apps that have stoped working because they are "updating". This has been like this for 5 6 days now. I have looked at the App Store under purchased and none of my apps say update. When I try to open a darkened app from this page it locked up my mini. Will I have to do a reset????

If there are multiple apps trying to download at once, only one can download at a time and the rest say "Waiting" until it is then their turn. Try this. Double tap the icon of the Waiting app, and it should resume the download.
If that doesn't work:
• Log out of your iTunes store account. Go to Settings > Store > Sign Out Then press the Home button.
• Then press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously and don't release them when it brings up the Turn Off screen; keep holding them until the Apple logo appears.
• After restart, the Waiting should be gone.
 Cheers, Tom

HT1391 I have just taken over a used iPad and I logged in with my iTunes ID and tried to install some apps. It says they are installed but they are not on the home screen.???

Cannot seem to find the apps that it says are installed. They are not on my home screen

If you've checked all of your homescreens and app folders and can't find them (there is a limit of 11 homescreens that are visible), and you can't find them via the spotlight search screen (swipe your first home screen to the right), then are thay hidden by an ap age rating in Settings > General > Restrictions ?
If not then have you tried a reset to see if you can find them after the iPad has restarted ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

TS2580 Only my welcome page published, not the links to the other pages. My server says they are there, but not showing up, any ideas? Thanks.

I developed my web site and published it with myserver. However only the first page shows up, no other pages, and the links to the other pages are missing on the welcome page. The host tells me that it is a software problem, that the pages are on the server. Pleae advise?
Thank You.

Rest assured, your pages are there :
http://www.lynxag.com/Welcome.html
http://www.lynxag.com/Products.html
http://www.lynxag.com/Photos.html
http://www.lynxag.com/Contact_Us.html
http://www.lynxag.com/feed.xml
You could have determined the presence of the pages by typing the pagenames in the URL.
The second option was to connect to the server and see with your own eyes what is there.
And since you do not use a Sitename in the URL, I assume you uploaded the files yourself instead of letting iWeb do the honours.
Regarding the Photo page, I do not see any photos on the page. Yet they are on the server too :
http://www.lynxag.com/Photos_files/Media/
If you did put the files on the server yourself, verify that you did upload every single file iWeb creates.
Edit : since the directories are open, you may want to consider closing them. Ask your webhoster to do it for you.

HT203167 Moved iTunes library from one computer to another using external hard drive. Cannot play many files. Says they are missing but locates them in an archive file but still won't play them. Are the files themselves part of the .itl files?

Moved iTunes library from old computer (PC Windows 7) to new (PC Window 8) using external hard drive. Library listing shows all music but can only play a fraction of it. On the ones it cannot play it asks to locate, then refers to an archived version (an .itl file), and still cannot play them. Do I just need to copy the archived .itl over, or is that not where the actual media are (do the actual media files even exist on the new computer?)? Any advice or information on this would be helpful.

*Also...is there any way I can filter out all the tracks with the ! so I can delete the unplaying copies as they're taking up room in my iTunes? I know how to find duplicates, but then I have to go and delete each one individually...*
*Thank you!*

When iPods say they are playing and they aren't

I am currently trying to get an iPod 1st Gen 1GB Nano back up and running for a friend at work. The iPod shows music is on it, iTunes sees there is music on it but it will not play anything.
When you select a track (any track) it will go to the screen to show it is playing. The play arrow appears but the track counter never advances past 0:00. It doesn't skip to the next track it just stays there. It doesn't totally lock up as you can advance through the menus. It just doesn't play music...or any audio for that matter.
Now I play tracks from the iPod on iTunes (even tracks that aren't on the computer) and they work just fine. I have completed the 5R's multiple times and nothing is fixing the issue.
I can also see by looking at the discussion boards here that this issue is not a new problem nor is it related to just the Nano. I have seen multiple topics dating as far back as late 2005 up until last week on lots of models of iPods.
The unique part of all the topics is that you never once see a working answer to fix the problem. I can't help but wonder what ever happened to the people that posted the topics. Did they just go out and buy a new unit? Did they just take it back to the store? The only thing I see is that the 5R's aren't working for lots of people and there is nothing listed to help this problem.
Anyone have any ideas? I've done the 5R's, I've done every diagnostic suggestion listed on the Apple answer documents and still can't get this thing to play a single track.
Also just to put this out there. This isn't exclusive to Windows formatting as I have tried to reset it in Mac format only to continue to have the same issue.

This is a podcast downloaded via iTunes. I have placed purchased songs, podcasts, and all sort of music ripped from my CD's etc and all fail to play.
I'll be giving the Scandisk a shot here shortly and will repost the results.
Thanks for the reply I hope you'll be able to help!

Itunes unexpectedly quits when i rate songs while they are playing.

basically. Itunes unexpectedly quits whenever i am listening to a song and then i rate it, i havent tried everything, but it also quits when i tried to edit the artist of a song while playing it. also, everytime i open itunes it goes to a certain playlist. how can i make it stop doing that, or change it to automatically open with the playlist of my choice?
thanks in advanced

I tried deleting them and redownloading them but its not working.
Try deleting and redownloading again, this time with simultaneous downloads disabled.
While downloading select Downloads in the left-hand column and make sure Allow Simultaneous Downloads is unchecked.

HT2953 imported songs says they are unavailable

I have a CD, I can play in my car and in my changer at home. However when I try to import the CD on Itunes it imports it in about two seconds and then under time it says "Not Available". When I try to play the songs it just runs through them and starts playing on the album after it. I also tried to play this in Windows Media. It recognized the album but wouldn't play the songs...said something about changing from digital to analog... It acted this way on two different computers.
Any imput?

Hey guys
I had this exact problem. For some reason my laptop drive wouldn't rip Led Zeppelin vols 1, 2 and 4, AC/DC or Bad Company onto Itunes. But Led Zeppelin vol 4, Black Sabbath and Mick Hucknall were ok. WHY?!?!?! Is Apple now trying to censor my taste in music?!?!
None of the solutions here worked for me. However I have now managed to get it to work. I plugged in an old external CD drive into my laptop via USB and it worked perfectly on all the CDs that previously wouldn't rip.
There's nothing wrong with my laptop drive though; it has ripped loads of other stuff this evening no problem, just not some of the older CDs for some reason.
Anyway, this is the first time I have found a solution to a problem like this myself, usually the forums provide the answer. So I thought I'd post it in case this helps someone else out. I really hope it does.
Cheers.
Michael
