Where is my audio book?

I have installed an audio book on my iPhone 3GS using the Overdrive Media Console supplied by the library. This is the same program I have used many previous times successfully. It showed normal installation with the progress bar going etc.. iTunes shows the audio book is on the iPhone but when I click the iPod option in the phone it says there is nothing there. Where is the audio book? I saw it install and iTunes shows it is there but the phone's iPod program says nothing is there. Help please ASAP.
Thanks... Bob

This is sort of a generic response to all. I have used the Overdrive program many times in the past, it has always worked fine with the iPhone. While it is not iTunes it does require iTunes to work and will not do so if iTunes is not running. As a matter of fact it will not work unless the "Manually manage music and videos" is checked in iTunes under the summary tab of my device.
Again, iTunes says the book is on the device. When you click audiobooks under my device in iTunes it lists the book and all it's chapters as being there. The iPhone itself can't seem to find it though.

  • HT1491 Where did my audio books go?

    I have bought several audio books from the iTunes Store. I used to access them through the Music app's "audio books" icon (with albums, artists, etc., icons). Suddenly, the "audio books" icon is gone. It's the same with the iTunes program on my computer--the Audio Books section has vanished. Audio books have not been moved over to the iBooks app, which has my written (not audio) books as always.
    I sync my purchases between devices with with iCloud, but there is no longer an Audio Books section under "Purchased" in the iTunes Store. When I search the iTunes Store for the book I want to listen to, it gives me the opportunity to spend another $20+ to buy the audio book, but no option to download what I've already bought and paid for.
    Where are the audio books that I've already purchased and how do I listen to them?

    Audiobooks are a one-time only download, they won't appear in the Purchased section for re-downloading - I think that they are all supplied to Apple by audlibe.com, so I assume that it's them requiring the one-time rule.
    If they are not on your devices, nor in the Books section of your computer's iTunes library and you don't have them on a backup, then you can try contacting iTunes support and see if they will grant you a re-download : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

  • Where is the audio books tab!!!!, Where is the audio books tab!!!!

    New iPad mini.  Where do audio books go when downloaded?

    You should have transferred any purchases made on your ipad to your computer regularly, particularly before any update.
    Have you failed to do this?

  • Where are the audio books in iTunes 11

    I downloaded iTunes 11, and now everything is "new". and I don't see any audio books (in german: Hörbücher) in the sidebar - and in the settings, there is no checkbox for this genre. Who can help?

    Thank you, I didn't see the top bar with "Hörbücher", "Bücher" etc.; is somehow confusing. Why do they always change the good old user interface?

  • Audio book download from iTunes where is this stored on yr iPad 2

    Hi all, I am trying to find where my purchased audio book has been stored by my ipad2. I have successful  purchased an podcast from iTunes and easily found how to access this. I have retraced my steps via iTunes and it is telling me it's downloaded but it's hiding and it's driving me mad. As u have guessed  Christmas present, thank u

    It should have downloaded into the Music app - when you have audiobooks on an iPad you will get an Audiobooks option under the More button at the bottom of the Music app.
    Note that audiobooks are currently a one-time only download from the store (so they won't appear in the Purchased tab for re-downloading), so you may want to copy it to your computer's iTunes via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases so that you can take a backup copy of it - it should copy over to the Books part of your iTunes library.

  • HT201272 I purchased an audio book, it doesn't appear in my purchased list nor in the audio books list

    I purchased an audio book, it doesn't appear in my purchased list nor in the audio books list. I have a receipt for it but if I start to down load it again, I get charged. Where did the audio book go and why doesn't ITunes recognize I've already paid?

    Audiobooks are currently a one-time only download from the store, so if you download it again then you will be charged - I believe that they are all supplied to Apple by audible.com, so I assume that it's them that are requiring the one-time only download.
    Is it still on the device that you downloaded it on (if it was on your iPhone then it should be in the Music app), or do you have a copy on your computer and/or on a backup ? If not then you can try contacting iTunes support and see if they will grant you a re-download : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

  • I just purchased extra storage for my iCloud.  How and where do I access it?  I purchased movies and audio books to find out that I didn't have enough storage (the reason for the extra storage purchase).  I have no idea where to find them now.  Help?!

    How do I use my iCloud???
    I purchased 4 movies and 2 audio books from iTunes only to find out my iPad2 didn't have enough storage, so I purchased more storage from iCloud. 
    My iTunes account only shows the 4 movies that need to still be downloaded (not the two books)  After purchasing 20GB from iCloud I am still receiving the  "There is not enough available storage.  You can manage your storage in Settings" message.  I have gone to my Settings, where it shows I have the new, extra storage.  I have set all the iCloud settings as shown on the Apple website.  In my iCloud settings, it shows I have 17GB available out of 25GB.   In my General settings, it shows that I have a capacity of 28.6 GB, while my Available is 2.9GB.  (????)
    I don't know why I still can't download the movies.  I wouldn't know where to go (how to get to) the iCloud if I could...
    Also, iTunes has sent me receipts for the movies and audio books I purchased as well.  Where are they???
    Thank you SO very much for any assistance you can offer me!

    Cancel your storage upgrade
    If you upgrade or renew your storage but no longer need it, you can cancel. If you cancel your storage plan within 15 days of an upgrade or within 45 days after a yearly payment, you can contact Apple for a full refund. After this period, you can downgrade your storage for the following year.
    Note:  Partial refunds are available where required by law.

    Since I purchased about $70 worth of movies and books and they won't load onto my iPad, do you think iTunes will refund my money?
    If you make more room on your Device perhaps you can View/ use the purchases...
    However if you would prefer a Refund... you can always ask... be sure to explain your situation...

  • Why do my songs and audio books keep getting erased when I add a new book?  Now some books will not play and the iPod does not keep track of where I was when I pause a book, leave for music and then go back!

    About a month ago I added some new audio books to my iPod Classic and then after disconnecting, I discovered EVERYTHING had been erased. 
    I had to restore through my iTunes but then I could not load my music back on.
    I uninstalled / reinstalled iTunes and completely reformated the iPod drive.
    I successfully got my music and books back on but then added a new book two days ago only to discover everything got erased AGAIN!!!
    Of course, my 1 Year Warranty was up about a week before the first incident.....
    I formatted the iPod again, uninstalled / reinstalled iTunes (it was freezing during sync) and downloaded all my music and books again.
    Now I have several books that will not play (they play on iTunes and they played on the iPod before all these events) and the iPod does not keep track of where I was in a book when I have to stop and go to something else.
    Does anyone know what is going on with this thing???  I have a 5th Gen Video and in all the years I've had it, I've NEVER had problems like this! 
    Does anyone have any ideas on what I can do to get my iPod Classic up and running properly again?
    Thanks.

    When iTunes/iPod sync process failed due to timeout, the iPod, has only the initilaised  filesytem structure at the start of the Sync.
    The timeout failure could be due to
    Bad hardisk - do the iPod disk diagnostic, refer to this excellent post by tt2
    Slow USB port or resource - Dont use any USB hub, disconnect all other USB devices while syncing
    Timeout due to Antivirus or other plugins - disconnect from Internet and stop the Antivirus or monitoribng software if you are syncing.
    Preferably stop doing other things while syncing this ancient device, which the latest iTunes designer, think will soon be extinct.
    Have a nice day!

  • HT201306 i downloaded an itunes audio book and now can't find it anywhere...where did it go?

    I downloaded an itunes audio book and now can't find it anywhere...not in iTunes, not in iBooks...where did it go?

    I had similar troubles on my iPhone 5 (iOS 7) with some audiobooks. Tried redownloading, reported problems, etc.  nothing worked. Even more confusing, I could 'see' it in the On This IPhone in iTunes, but couldn't even see the audiobooks button in iTunes (on the phone). 
    I ended up searching for it by name, from my iPhone home screen (by swiping down, it may be called spotlight?), and where it reads 'Search this iPhone', I just started typing the name of the book, and there it was.
    Not the most elegant solution, but so far all three of the books that I've bought are there.

  • Is it possible to have an audio book being read from an ipod nano - 6th generation - to pick up where it left off?

    I just downloaded "Audible" so that I could listen to audio books on my 6th generation nano. When I shut off the ipod in the middle of a chapter and turn it back on, the book picks up at the start of the chapter. Is there a way to pick up where I left off?

    They should automatically pick up right where you left off. I'm not sure what you mean that you just downloaded Audible.
    Sync the audiobooks to the iPod and listen to them there by tapping  the audiobooks icon on your Nano

  • Ipad 2, just purchased a new ipad.set it up with icloud but did not get my audio books where do i find them on my new ipad?

    frustrated!!!  purchased a new ipad todayand set it up with i cloud so i would have the same on my new ipad...in doing so, it did not recover my audio books only music...where did i go wrong or where do i find them?

    Audiobooks are not part of icloud.
    They will only be where you put them.  They should be on your computer.  Sync them to the new device.
