What happened to my audiobook in ios 6 on my iphone?

I updated to ios 6 and I see where the podcasts have their own app.  But now all my music and audiobooks are gone.  Where are they?

Hi, all!
I was facing the same issue and I must confess it was annoying me. I have tried some alternatives and eventually one of them have worked for me.
I am sharing with you guys here below so that maybe this approach works for you as well!
1- Open Itunes and connect your iphone.
2- Click on your iphone under devices in itunes
3- On the menu at the top of its screen, click on books
4- Then, scroll down to audiobook sync options
5- Now the tricky part, uncheck it at all and then sync your iphone. Somehow it has vanished while updating iOS however when simply trying to sync again the system I don't know why seems to understand it is already there and doesn't copy the files. That said, when removing it firstly, itunes will erase it from your device wherever it is and then you will be able to actually sync your audiobooks as a second step, hopefully without any trouble.
6- Hence, last but not least, after 'unsync' as a first step, finally check the audiobook option and sync it again! Voilà! Your audiobooks are there in Music App > More as usual!
I hope this silly but necessary routine works for you all as well!
Feel free to share it as you will.
Thanks for the previous infos and regards!

  • What happens if i reset my network settings on my iphone 4s

    I entered the wrong network password after my phone was replaced and now i can't access wi-fi.
    What happens if i reset my network settings on my iphone 4s?

    Hi richoch3t
    I have found the following information regarding resetting network settings, and what the effects are.
    iPhone User Guide (For iOS 6.1 Software)
    manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
    Page 139
    Reset network settings:  When you reset network settings, your list of previously used networks and VPN settings not installed by a configuration profile are removed. Wi-Fi is turned off
    and then back on, disconnecting you from any network you’re on. The Wi-Fi and “Ask to Join Networks” settings remain turned on. To remove VPN settings installed by a configuration profile, go to Settings > General > Profile, then select the profile and tap Remove. This also removes other settings or accounts provided by the profile.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • What happen if dont trust option is activated in the iphone

    what happen if dont trust is activated in the iphone

    Morning Timothy1935,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    You will not lose apps on one phone by syncing a different phone to the same comeputer.
    You can download any previous apps if you needed to though.
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519=
    To view or download previously purchased:
    Apps, Books, Music, Movies, or TV shows on iOS
    Apps on iOS
    Open the App Store on your device.
    Make sure you are signed in with the same Apple ID used for the original purchase.
    Tap Updates from the bottom navigation bar. 
    Tap Purchased on the resulting screen.
    Locate the app in your Purchased tab.
    Tap the download button.
    The app will begin downloading and you'll be taken back to your home screen.  
    Hope this helps,
    Mario

  • What happens to files when they are deleted on the iPhone?

    When you delete files like videos, podcasts or emails directly on the iPhone by swiping it and hitting the "Delete" button what happens to these files? Are they instantly removed from disk or they go to some sort of "Recycle Bin"?
    Do you know that bar on iTunes showing how your iPhone disk is being used, with "Audio, Video, Photos, Apps, Other and Free"?
    I wonder if having more than 4Gb on the "Other" category is related to this practice in any way?

    Other includes data such as 3rd party app settings and data created and stored by a 3rd party app, email stored or cached locally including email attachments, Safari history, cookies, and cache, notes, voice memos, visual voicemail, contacts, calendar events, etc.

  • What happened to auto layout in iOS 6 beta 3?

    I just downloaded the newest beta version (3) of iOS 6. After I continued work on my projects, which uses auto layout on iOS, I noticed something was wrong. After about 5 hours of testing I figured out that the behaviour of iOS deviced changed between beta 2 and beta 3.
    It's very easy to see for yourself. Download the sample code from WWDC 2012 and find project called LineLayout. Run it in Xcode 4.5 Dev Preview 2 (bundled with iOS 6 beta 2) and then run the same project in Xcode 4.5 Dev Preview (bundled with iOS 6 beta 3). You get very different behaviour. The problem is that I couldn't find an explanation of this in the API diffs and I'm not sure if it's a bug or a desired (though changed) behaviour.
    Thanks for any advice. I suspect this must have happened to a lot of people who are already using auto layout in iOS apps.

    brantwedel did you notice the post was made over a year ago when iOS 6 was in beta.

  • What happened to the dock in iOS 7.1?

    Why do I now have a dull grey slate with my apps on it on my iPhone 5? My iPad Air seems no different except for the keyboard.
    Are there any other astethic changes that anyone is noticing?

    Can you provide a screenshot to show what you are referring to? This might make it easier for diagnosing. I have iOS 7.0.6 on my iPhone 5S and am out of town away from my regular computer so I do not want to update right now, and my dock is just a gray rectangle behind the icons on the dock.

  • What happened to my audiobooks?

    I tried to sync my Ipod today and was informed I needed to run an update.  I did so and now I am unable to see any of my audiobooks.  I can see the audiobook folder/file when I click on "more" but it says "No Audiobooks".  I have tons of audiobooks.  The whole reason I own an Ipod is to listen to my audiobooks.  Please help.  Thank you.

    I updated to iOS6 on my iPod Touch and now cannot see how to play an Audiobook there is no longer an Audiobook option under 'Music' app

  • What happen if my internet is turn off on my iphone

    I just lost my phone and left it in a Taxi. My phone battery is dead and the internet is turn off. I am currently in a different country so there shouldnt even be internet service on my phone. Since there's no internet i cant locate it. Is there anything i can do? can i still remote wipe?? can anyone help plz.. i know i am so screwed....

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    There is nothing that you can do while the phone's battery is dead. You can initiate a lock or a wipe from "find my phone" but it will not take effect until the battery is charged and the phone is connected to a network in some way.

  • I updated iOS 7 and my contacts were ok then they suddenly disappeared a few weeks after updating. I have no idea if it has anything to do with iOS 7 but when I email someone the contacts are there. When I open the app they are gone. What happened?

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up                                                                
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.             
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • Considering stopping mobileme...what happens to my purchased apps?

    I was just wondering what happens to the apps I have purchased for my iPhone if I were to cancel my mobileme subscription? (I log into the iTunes/App store with my mobileme email account)
    Do I loose all my apps? Can I convert them to another account/email address?
    Thanks!

    No

  • What happened is that my internet connection was not good so i downloaded .ipsw file from a torrent but now i cannot get it to update my ipad because ios 5.0.1 is out i tried copying files to ipad updates in the itunes folder but no help

    plz help

    If you downloaded the correct version for your iPad model (and the different models have different ipsw files), then you should be able to navigate to it in iTunes by pressing and holding the shift key on Windows (command key on Mac) when clicking the Check For Updates button.
