Transferring Audiobooks from CD

Hello all,
I'm attempting to transfer "Darkly Dreaming Dexter" from cd to iTunes. I know how to do it but it seems like when I sync the files to my ipod it comes out sounding distorted (almost like a computer generated voice that echoes slightly). However it sounds fine on iTunes. I have also attempted to change the "import settings" numerous times. Right now it's on:
Import Using: AAC Encoder
Settings: Custom
Stereo Bit Rate: 64 kbps
Sample Rate: Auto
Channels: Auto
Optimize for voice checked
What is the best settings to import the audiobook and get a clear sounding voice?

This will do it: http://www.griffintechnology.com/products/imic

I have trouble transferring audiobooks from Overdrive Media Console.

I have trouble transferring audiobooks from Overdrive Media Console. Sometimes the book does not transfer. Sometimes it winds up in music.

I agree that transferring audiobooks to an iPhone using Overdrive is very flaky. My biggest issue now is that when I do a transfer, about every 3rd or 4th segment doesn't transfer successfully. I have to go back and select those and transfer again and then they are out of order with no apparent way to put them in the correct order. So when I start listening to the book, I have to closely monitor when I am at the end of a part so that I can manually select the next part.
My latest transfer of a book with 14 parts placed 2 versions in Audiobooks with the order 5, 12, 1, 2, 3, 6, 8, 9, 10, 13, 14. (missing parts 4, 7, and 11)
When I went back to Overdrive and selected parts 4, 7, and 11 to transfer, my iPhone then had a playlist with the book with the order 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 13, 14, 4, 7, 11.
Crazy!!

HT4623 transferring audiobook from desktop to iphone using overdrive media, says I need itunes update but I cant see that I do

having trouble transferring audiobook from Overdrive Media on desktop to iphone. Popup says I need Itunes 11.1 or higher. I have updated the desktop and the phone (I thought) updated regularly. No need for updates showing.

If you go into iTunes and click on Help, what version number does it say you have? This message does not have anything to do with updating iTunes on the phone. iTunes on the phone serves a different function that that of the iTunes on your computer. It is referring to updating iTunes on the computer.

Transferring audiobook from Macbook Pro to iMac

I bought an audiobook today on my Macbook Pro, forgetting that my iPhone is syncing with my iMac. In the past I have been able to use home sharing to move songs and books from one to the other. I can't do that today. Anyone know why? I am suspecting that audiobooks have been forgotten with the addition of iBooks. They don't fall under the books or songs categories??? Is that it?

Review Best Practices and Setup new Mac. Ensure you did the migration, properly.

HT4623 Trouble transferring audiobook from my computer to my ipod classic.

Okay. I puchased an audiobook. It will not transfer to my ipod classic. When I connect my ipod the message tells me that my device is up to date. I tried to deauthorize and reauthorize my computer. Still won't transfer. The sync command scares me. If I use that the meeage says that it will erase everything. Help.

There is. It is here:

Is It Possible to Transfer an Audiobook from Overdrive to An iTunes Library?

I have had no problems transfering audiobooks from Overdrive Media Console for Windows to my iPod Nano 5th Ge connnected to iTunes. However, I cannot figure out whether I can transfer the audiobooks to an iTunes audiobooks library so I can listen to them using iTunes. I have not even been able to figure out how to create an iTunes audiobooks library.
1. Is it possible to listen to audiobooks downloaded to Overdrive using iTunes? If so, how?
2. How do you create an iTunes audiobooks library in the iTunes Media folder?
3. Are there any free sample audiobooks in the iTunes Store? That should automatically create an audiobooks library in the iTunes Media folder.

Hi mates,
In case if you want to use the same app into different iphone. For example you have viber, whats app in your device 1 and you want to have this applications in device 2. You can sync an applications to itunes from device 1 and those apps will be saved in an itunes, even if you disconnect USB from laptop-phone.Connect you device 2 to itunes and syn your selected applications. It will come that way.
Device 1: Iphone
Device 2: Iphone
For an understanding i have named as device 1&2.

Can no longer transfer audiobooks from overdrive to ipod nano 6

Can no longer transfer audiobooks from overdrive to ipod nano 6. Diagnostics: Connectivity test-ipod found. Sync test -ipod not found. This problem began about 2 weeks ago. I downloaded itunes update 12.1.0.71 about 1 week ago. I'm on Windows 7.

Do you mean a playlist created by Overdrive?
I downloaded the newest version of ODM yesterday. Couldn't do it from within the application, had to uninstall/reinstall it. Here's what's happening now with WMA, which is my preferred format:
-Instead of just moving the audiobook and cover graphic and all that over as in the past, now ODM creates a separate playlist under 'Books' in your device. Problem is, only some (seemingly random) tracks go over there. The others just show up under 'Books' but not in the specified playlist, so you have to drag them over in iTunes.
-If you stop listening, it starts over from the beginning next time you're ready to resume, so if you expect to find your place again right away like in the good old days, think again.
-For me the WORST PART is only so much data of that sort is permitted under 'Books' so it seems, because after a certain threshold the transferred parts of books become greyed out and cannot be played. You are limited to far less data in a period of time than previously. I used to be able to keep several books on my device at once and listen to multiple things depending on my mood etc. Now I can fit about 2-3 big books, or 4-6 smaller ones, MUCH less than previously was possible, which is a problem if you've waited for a popular title at the library that you don't have the room for (even though you have plenty of memory in the device).
All in all, I think ODM need to get their act together. We should not allow them to think they are done with this upgrade, the fixes might be okay for temporary, but they are unacceptable for a permanent format. They have a phone number on their website. I left a message. Others have been tweeting them too, not sure of the contact info.
Good luck everyone. Post back here if you find something out.

Audiobooks from iTunes store

I purchased an audiobook from the store. It downloaded into the audiobooks folder on my computer. However, when I transfered it into my iPod it showed up in the music section. Looking at my iPod on the computer it shows the book in the audiobook section but is grayed out. How do I get it into the audiobook section of the pod and how do I prevent this from happening again?
Thanks,
Roland

Hi,
I've had the same trouble with the single audiobook I've purchased from iTunes, and tried to load onto my 5th gen. iPod. The results were as follows:
1) In my iTunes Library on my computer, it's shown as an Audiobook. So far, so good.
2) When my iPod is connected to the computer, and I click on the iPod icon to see what's on it, the Audiobook folder is of course there, and the audiobook I Purchased is indeed shown in the Audiobooks folder.
3) However, here's the problem: Eject the iPod from the computer and use the scroll wheel on the iPod and the the audiobook file only shows up in the Music/Artists/Genre/ etc. folders. The Audiobooks folder in the iPod is empty.
I suspect something isn't quite right, because I sometimes have the same trouble with Podcasts, but it's a rare occurance. I'll download a podcast from the iTunes store, and it will indeed sync to my iPod, but ONLY in the music folder, and not within the Podcasts folder on my iPod. Coincidence? Maybe. I'd say this happens about 2% of the time, BUT IT DOES HAPPEN.
By the way, the audiobook files I purchased from iTunes are ".m4p's", according to the "get info" window, so I assume they are indeed "iPod ready". .
I'd appreciate your comments, since your suggestion to follow the "...aldoblog...." thread wasn't really germane to the original question.
Thank you,

Do MP3 audiobooks from Overdrive still expire after you transfer to itunes ?

So I have this really long MP3 audiobook (I'm a newbie) that I downloaded from the library on Overdrive. The book "expires" before I'll have a chance to finish this book. I just "transfered" it from overdrive to my itunes / iphone. Will the book still expire on my phone or does itunes save me? Burning to a CD will take 24 disks as I don't have any CD-RWs. Thx

It will still be there, but it won't play.

All of a sudden my ipod will not transfer audiobooks from overdrive

Overdrive is not transfering audiobooks to my Ipod nano 6th generation. This became a problem with the new itunes download.

My printer prints just fine when I am printing from it but when I try to print from my computer, it shows up ready on the print screen but once I press print, it does not print. When I check the printer screen on my computer again, it shows "error". I cannot find any error with my computer or the printer! What is doing this and why won't my printer communicate with my computer!!?

Deleting audiobooks from my iphone 4

I have two audiobooks on my Iphone under the audiobooks tab that I want to delete. Even though I created a playlist for each, they would not show in the list when I went to sync selected music. The only way I could get the books on my Iphone was to drag and drop the audiobooks on the Iphone.
The problem is that I've listened to the books I can't find a way to remove them from my phone. I"ve tried transferring purchases from my Iphone, but have had no luck.
When I pull up the audiobook tab in the Ipod app, I see the books and can play them, but I can't delete them.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,
CES

Allan if your still around, I dont have that "include audiobooks from playlist" option. I have and Iphone 4 on IOS 5 using a macbook pro on OSX snow leapoard Itunes ver 10.5.1
I have searched High and low and can not figure out how to get them off my phone. I have completely deleted them from Itunes and made sure they are not in the folders stored on my external. Only the books I want are still left (the ones I can remove from the phone). I want all the books still but just want them off my phone till I want to listen to them again.
I have tried the transfer purchases option. it failed.
deleted play list. it failed
searched in the music and books folders for the books but they are gone. But the books (4 of them) are still on my phone.
I have even tried to change the authors name from last name first to first name first. The first name first shows up and can be removed but the old set of books with the last name first is still there. If I make them both the same I get two copies of the same audiobook.
I am seriously trying to avoid a factory reset just to get them off the phone.
I hate Itunes

The computer I was using to sync my iPod crashed how can I transfer my music and audiobooks from the iPod to my new ipad?

The computer I use to sync my iPod crashed. How do I transfer the music and audiobooks to my new ipad?

- Transfer iTunes purchases to the computer by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
- Transfer other music by using a thrird-party program like one of thos discussed here:
Copy music
- Connect the old iPd to the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPOd under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up.
- Restore the new iPod from that backup. You will have to reeenter passwords since they only get restored to same device.

Can't Sync Audiobook from itunes on pc to my iphone5

I purchased an audiobook from itunes on my pc and I can't get it onto my iphone5. The audiobook shows up in my pc's itunes library under books. (itunes version 11.0.2.26. iphone ios 6.1.3.)
I followed instructions that I found to do this: From Devices in itunes on my pc, in Books folder I clicked Sync. Then I can see it goes through 3 steps (1:Waiting for Sync to start; 2:Preparing to Sync; 3:Waiting for changes to be applied) but these occur quickly and then it ends.
There's plent of space on the iphone.
In the itunes library, in Books, the title is listed and the box is checked.
In devices, in options, "Sync only checked songs and videos" is checked.
What am I missing?!

Hey, TheMightyWitt.
To sync Audiobooks from your computer to your iOS device, we'll want to follow the basic syncing instructions outlined in this article:
iOS: Syncing with iTunes
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1386
Specifically, what we are looking for is the "Books" tab at the top of iTunes (When your iPhone is plugged in). Here is what it looks like:
Once on the Books tab, there are two separate sections for syncing regular digital Books and Audiobooks. Make sure that the "Sync Audiobooks" checkbox is checked and choose to either sync all or selected audiobooks. Once these changes are applied, the Audiobooks will be transferred to your device for your enjoyment!
Happy Listening,
Matt M.
