Unable to sync my audio books to my iphone

I bought two audiobooks and can't sync them to my phone. I see them on my itunes list. Can play them there. But need them on my iphone. I have many other audio books that I've purchased and synced. But it's been a while and I don't know what I'm doing wrong this time. Can someone assist?

  • Syncing Mac Address Book to multiple iPhone users?

    After updating my iMac to Mavericks I'm unable to sync my Address Book contacts to iPhones via USB sync.
    Our usage model is that we have one set of Address Book contacts on a Mac for everyone at home (easier to maintain) and then we create unique Address Groups for each family member. In the past we used the Info tab in iTunes to specify which address group should sync with which iPhone. It worked well.
    With the update to Mavericks the Info tab is gone. Apple wants users to sync their contacts via iCloud.
    Security concerns notwithstanding, I don't know how to do it. How can a family of iPhone users, each with a different Apple and iCloud ID, sync to the same Address Book?
    Thanks

    Thank you to Gemariah for the suggestion that I should seek to import Contact details via Yahoo but to be honest whilst that may be indeed a valid work-around it is nothing if not clunky.
    I have discovered that the PocketMac software is nothing to do with RIM although it is directly linked off their web-page: PocketMac do not appear to offer any real support and conversation with my network provider [ Vodaphone ] suggests that they regard the PocketMac software as little short of useless and a major source of problems.
    Certainly in my experience, it is useless: it has duplicated some entries and will not allow the additional entries to be deleted. Clearly one can only hope that the RIM software which they are advertising for release in September will solve the problem but given that there is no way in which one can talk directly to RIM other than via a chargeable conversation I wonder whatb the chances are of their version being any better. I just wish that I could treat my clients in such an arrogant manner and still make money!
    I would suggest that unless you want to spend time beating your head against a brick wall, do not use PocketMac software. It is a rubbish product, with support to match.

    If it's an Audiobook, then it's probably in the Audiobook section of your iPhone. Have you set your iTunes to Sync Audiobooks with your iPhone?
    Alternatively, if the Audiobook was imported into your iTunes Library as as Music, then it's going to be in the Music section of your iPhone. If so, then it will be in the Music section of your iTunes Library. To move it to the Audiobooks section, select it in the Library and choose File/Get Info/Options>Media Kind where you can change it.
    You can change it to a Podcast, but since something is only a Podcast if it is delivered to your iTunes as a Podcast download (which is a process for delivering files without you having to go and find them), then your audiobook is not a Podcast and you may forget (in the future) how you obtained the book in the first place

    I am unable to transfer my audio book from my Mac laptop to my iPhone.  Can anyone help me?

    Then restore from you Mac laptop's backup, if you have not been backing up then you may be in for a very painful lesson on why backing up is the VERY FIRST thing you should do with any new Mac. Create a backup plan and use it on a regular basis. If the laptop was using 10.5.x or later then you have absolutely no excuse for not backing up. Sorry for being terse and blunt but Time Machine has been built into 10.5.x, 10.6.x and 10.7.x so we have had years to have a seamless and mindless method of backing up. If you have been using an earlier verision of OS X there are quite a number of methods of backing up.
    If you aren't successful then take the laptop and iMac to your local Apple Store or AASP and they may be able to help you recover your contacts. 

  • Unable to sync iMac address book with iPad. Can you please help?

    Unable to sync iMac address book with iPad. Can you please help?

    I have the same problem as Sheilaza but haven't been able to solve it using the advice offered.  The same problem applies to my Calendars. When I look at my iPad settings in iTunes, it says:
    Sync Contacts
    Your contacts are being synced with your iPad over the air from iCloud.
    Over-the-air sync settings can be changed on your iPad.
    and the same for Calendars.
    On the iPad, in iCloud settings, I have checked 'Contacts' and 'Calendars' as 'ON' but the Calendar remains blank and the Contacts are a very old version that was somehow created when I set up the iPad initially.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks.

  • I can not find my audio books on my iPhone.

    I have tried to sync my 3 recently purchased audio books with my iPhone with out success.  The files work fine on my MacBook, but I can not see them on my iPhone.  There is no field for Audio Books in  “More” on the phone.  I can see a new graph of data labeled “Documents and Data” at the bottom of the screen in iTunes on the MacBook next to the Sync button.  I presume this to be the files I am looking for, since I appeared immediately after my last sync.  Still I am unable to find or listen to the files on my phone.
    In an attempt to correct this problem I just reset my phone.  All works well still no audio books.
    Also I have noticed I am also having trouble syncing newly acquired music to the same iPhone.
    iPhone 5 iOS 7.0.4
    MacBook Pro 13-inch,  OS X10.9
    Any suggestions?

    If you have them on your computer's iTunes then you can re-sync them to your device (are they in the Books part of your computer's iTunes library ?) - that has not changed, only the layout of iTunes has changed with the left-hand sidebar not automatically showing, though you can enable it (option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC)
    If you don't have a copy of them on your computer nor on a backup then you will need to contact iTunes support and see if they will grant you a re-download - as far as I know it's never been possible to re-download aubiobooks from the store without contacting iTunes support.

  • I have lost the ability to add audio books to my iPhone 4S

    I had audio books on my iPhone 3, but somehow they didn't transfer to my 4GS. I hadn't missed them until I went on my last trip and they weren't there. They are in iTunes but they go nowhere when I try to transfer them to my iPhone. Also, I don't see an iPod Icon on my screen like the one I had on my old iPhone.

    To sync audiobooks, there is a check box under books in iTunes. Select it and whatever books you want to sync:
    On my 4S, to play audiobooks, I simply go to the music app and under more, I select audiobooks. I don't have the podcasts app so audiobooks and podcasts are played through the music app.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You need to sync them back to iTunes by connecting your device to the computer (USB or wifi)

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Audiobooks are not currently part of the content that can be re-downloaded. You should sync your audiobooks to other devices via iTunes on your computer.

  • I'm having some trouble transferring audio books to my iPhone.  It usually takes 3 or 4 tries to get all the parts transferred.  I didn't use to have this problem - all parts would transfer in one try.

    Obviously, syncing an iOS device with iTunes over USB is still supported in Mavericks. Calendar and contact syncing with iTunes is no longer supported. That has nothing to do with your problem.
    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
