There must be some way to backup purchased audiobooks from my iPhone to my reformatted Mac.

I reformatted my MacBook Pro about a month ago, and have recently tried syncing my iPhone 5s with iTunes on my MacBook Pro, so that I can temporarily remove some purchased audiobooks, in order to make room to sync over some other audiobooks that I haven't listened to in awhile.
However, you guessed it, if I proceed with this process to add additional audiobooks to my iPhone, I get the warning that all music, books, audiobooks, and photos will be removed from the iPhone.  That's not an option.  I know that iTunes purchased audiobooks are one-time downloads, unlike purchased iTunes music.  Since I have purchased two expensive audiobooks on my iPhone, since the time that I reformatted my MacBook Pro, I am not willing to double-spend in order to buy them again.  Nor, I am willing to lose these books.  I'd like to re-listen to them monthly, for the foreseeable future. 
If I were to try using a backup of my iTunes library (from just before the MB Pro reformat), it wouldn't include those recent audiobook purchases.
Is there a proper method to achieve an up-do-date merged sync, and not lose any audiobooks?   If not, is there a reliable third-party software or system I could use?  I'm hoping for something above the worst case scenario of simply playing the audiobooks from my iPhone, and recording them into an mp3 using AudioHijack Pro on my Mac.
This has been the only glitch in my drive reformat issue.
Thanks for any help you can offer!!!!

Friends helped get this figured out.  Things appear to be ok now.

  • HT4847 There must be some way of finding out how much storage I'm currently using. One would think that this would easy but apparently not.

    Anyone know how to find out how muh iCloud storage 'm currently using?

    If you're on a Mac, open System Preferences, and open iCloud option.
    Or if you're on an iOS device, open Settings - iCloud - Storage
    You can see the Total Storage and the Available Storage.
    This should solve your question

  • Surely there must be a way to import my settings from CC to CC2014?

    The sync does not work as advertised!
    No matter how many times I sync settings with the old CC version of DW the new CC2014 doesn't pick up any of the changes.
    What is going wrong?
    I have read the other posts - most seem to be windows rather than Mac. So how to I export my old CC settings then import them onto CC 2014?
    I could weep. This palaver has happened for years. What are we meant to do?

  • How do I delete dozens of messages from the same sender at the time. There must be a way. Thank you.

    I have not been able to check my messages for a couple of weeks. I now find myself with 315 messages, many from same sender. I want to delete most, but don't know how. There must be a way to delete all messages from same sender as many of mine are. Please help. Life is way to short and precious than to accomplish this task deleting them one at a time. Thank you so very much for your help.

    Hey leeann316,
    Thanks for the question. The following resource outlines how to select multiple messages in the Mail application. Once selected, you can then delete the messages:
    Work with multiple messages - iPhone
    http://help.apple.com/iphone/7/#/iph9db03b2f5
    Delete, move, or mark multiple messages. While viewing a list of messages, tap Edit. Select some messages, then choose an action. If you make a mistake, shake iPhone immediately to undo.
    If you are looking for an even faster method, you might want to visit your email account from a web client (on your computer), and select all of the message in your inbox for deletion. If you require assistance doing so, please consult your email service provider for more information.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • Keypad Lock: RU kidding? There must be a way. ???

    Hello All.  I spent a couple of days with my new Tour 8630 (Verizion), and have some questions.  Here's my first Q:  Is it possible to lock the keypad in such a way that an accidental bump of any of the exposed keys/buttons does not turn the display on?
    The "Lock" button on the top left is useless in this regard.  Sure, the buttons become dysfunctional, but if any are pressed, the display lights up to present the message "Keypad is locked.  Press the lock button to unlock."  Of course, each time this occurs the battery drains a little more.  With repeated, unintentional button presses, the device soon dies for lack of battery charge.  
    Just like thousands of users out there, I toss my BB device into jacket pockets, book bags, back packs, etc.  I do not use a holster.  The device buttons are routinely pressed without my knowledge, thus draining the battery.  There must be a way to avoid this.  ???
    BBkroozr  

    No, there is not a way to avoid this.
    It is intentional that when a key or button is pressed, the screen lights. It must work that way.
    So, if you pressed a key or button on the locked the device and the device did NOT respond -- that would be bad. The users would be franticly trying to revive dead devices.
    How is the device to know the difference between your key scraping against and pushing a button in your pocket, vs. that of your finger intentionally waking it up?

  • Is there a way to backup my bookmarks from the bookmarks menu tab?

    After recently having a problem reinstalling my old bookmarks, I'm now wondering if there is a easy way to backup my very recent bookmarks, when I enter my bookmarks from the menu tab? I don't see a link within the bookmarks tab to do so. It would be nice to see a specific link within the bookmarks tab to do such a function. Does anyone have any solutions, or know a way to quickly backup my bookmarks? Thank you.

  • I have deleted certain purchased songs from my iphone, but everytime i sync my phone with my computer it adds them back.  Is there a way to stop this from happening?

    I have deleted certain purchased songs from my iphone, but everytime i sync my phone with my computer it adds them back.  Is there a way to stop this from happening?

    It sounds like you and your husband are sharing an Apple ID, a version of iTunes on your computer, or both.
    I recommend you share neither your Apple ID nor your version of iTunes.  You can still share music by using Store > Authorize this computer and enter your spouse's information.  But it sounds llike this sharing is the cause of your problem.

  • Why is there no way to delete all emails from my iphone?

    Why is there no way to delete all emails from my iphone? IOS 7.1. Every other phone in the market allows you to 'select all' then delete.
    This trick of selecting one, then holding move, then unchecking (and subsequently moving all the emails to trash) doesn't work. I've read these suggestions and while it appears to work the emails just show up again once you leave and return to the inbox. Perhaps it worked on an older version of IOS.
    It blows my mind this is not a standard function. I get a few hundred emails at work every day, and most of the time I just want to delete all of them from the phone as I've read them already. Currently it seems i can only click edit and then have to check each email individually to be able to delete them at the same time; this is the definition of tedious. I would think there are millions of other iphone users who get their company email on their phones that must experience the same thing. It seems now i either spend 20 minutes a day deleting emails, or just let thousands of emails accumulate on the phone (taking up space and also making it hard to just review the most recent emails which is all I want to be able to do when checking email on my phone).
    I am hoping I am just missing some simple solution here that everyone else uses. Please help!!
    Mark

    Only Apple could answer as to why there is no "select all/"delete all" function in the iOS mail app. Users have been bemoaning this lack of functionality for years now. Like everyone else, you can submit feedback to. Apple here.
    Apple - iPhone - Feedback
    While I understand the whole idea of being able to use the phone on the run, if you have an IMAP email account, and if you have access to a computer at work during the day, use your "select all" function on the server and delete all of the unwanted email there and it will be removed from the phone as well.
    That doesn't solve the problem on the phone, but it gets rid of the email which is your ultimate goal anyway.

    You can redownload most iTunes purchases directly to the iPod by:        
      Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Otherwise you will have to sync from your iTunes library.
