Why are my audiobooks in a playlist I didn't put them?

I just checked my iTunes playlists, and all my audiobooks and podcasts are in a big project folder, where I didn't put them! What's more, iTunes won't let me delete them from the folder. What's gone wrong and how do I cure the problem? The books (from Audible) are also where they SHOULD be, i.e. in Books.
(Supporting information :
Top level - 1 playlist folder, where I see all the books etc that shouldn't be there
Next level down - two folders containing smart playlists, each populated by a different field; nothing in them that shouldn't be
Bottom level - around 20+ ordinary playlists, each one sorted by the contents of Comment; nothing in them that shouldn't be
iTunes 10)

It sounds like you must have created an open wireless network that anybody can join. You should be able to easily remedy the situation by properly configuring your network by enabling the WPA2 security feature at a minimum so that a passord is required to join the network.
What type of network equipment do you have? If you have an Airport Extreme or Time Capsule the Airport Utility software provided by Apple makes the setup quite easy. The Airport utility can be found in the Applications/Utilities folder. If you have equipment from another vendor just Google WPA2 followed by the vendor make and model info. There are usually plenty of others that have created helpful guides.

  • Why are my audiobooks not going through home sharing?

    why are my audiobooks not going through for home sharing.

    According to this thread (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3525692), it looks like you are not able to share audiobooks through Home Sharing:
    You can share MP3, AIFF, WAV, AAC, and radio station links, but you cannot share iTunes Store Audio Books, Audible spoken word content, or QuickTime sound files.
    You can leave iTunes feedback here: http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html

  • Why are my duotone images turning black and white when put in indesign?

    why are my duotone images turning black and white when put in indesign?
    I have been playing duo and montotone images into indesing with no trouble. Then all of a sudden as I placew them they go black and whitre. I have tried everything from re saving, re making in photoshop and differant colours et5c. But nothing seems to wrok. The images already in my document arew fine it is just new ones. If someone could help that would be great

    Can you start a new document and then load one of the duotones known to be good in the working file and have it correct? If so, try one of the duotones known to be bad in the working document in the new file. Does it work?
    If no to either suggestion, can you share one of the images known to be good and one known to be bad? ZIP 'em up and upload to dropbox and plop a link here. Or, to keep the file sizes down, you can quickly make a new set and provide those.
    As well, the ID version and OS info would probably be helpful.
    Take care, Mike

  • I have these black boxes around all the images i add. why are they there and how do i get rid of them?

    i have black boxes around all the images i bring into pages. why are they there and how can i get rid of them?

    Pages rememebers the last setting you used on images.
    So if you had a border on the last image the next one you bring in will have one too.
    To change that select:
    Inspector > Graphic > Stroke > None
    Spend a little time exploring the menus and particularly the Toolbar and Inspectors whcih are in reasonably logical progression from big things down to smaller details and clearly labeled.
    It is also possible that you have show Layout on which outlines objects on th screen so you can see what's what. To change that:
    Menu > View > Hide Layout

  • HT1386 why are there 0's in some folders that i put photos in in iPhoto when I veiw it in iTunes?

    why are there 0's in some folders that i put photos in in iPhoto when I veiw it in iTunes?

    Those files should be being created in folders of the form:
    <User's Music>\iTunes\Album Artwork\Cache|Download\<GUID>\<##>\<##>\<##>
    The <GUID> in your case is 0CDB362F24AD473A...
    If they are appearing anywhere else I would suspect a permissions problem. iTunes just spits them out where it can. Similar problems can sometimes cause it to drop files on the desktop.
    Repair Permissions
    Right-click on your main iTunes folder and click Properties, then go to the Security tab and click Advanced. If necessary grant your account and system full control to this folder, subfolders and files, then tick the option to replace permissions on child objects which will repair permissions throughout the library. This is the XP dialog but Windows 7 shouldn't be too different.
    Once you've repaired the permissions search for all files of the form *.itc2 in the music folder and delete them, then start iTunes. iTunes will rebuild the artwork cache in the correct location as you scroll through your library.

  • I made 2 playlists on Itunes and put them on my Ipod.  How do I get the songs to play consecutively and not keep playing the same song over and over again???

    I'm a new Zumba instructor and have to come up with playlists for my routines.  I made 2 playlists on ITunes and put them on my Ipod.  Everytime I want to play it, only one song from the list plays over and over.  The other songs do not.  How do I get the songs to play the way I have them set up??

    You can redownload iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    For other music you need to get them from where you got them before.

  • I have several albums in a folder in iphoto.  The pictures are ordered, labeled, and dated. I want to put them on an external hard drive and have them stay in order w/labels. How can I do that?  Thank You

    I have several "albums" in a "folder "in iphoto.  The pictures, and videos (from a camera and smart phone) are ordered, labeled, and dated. I want to put them on an external harddrive. How can I do that and keep them in order, etc. What I have tried reorders them, separates them into the camera pictures, phone pictures, and movies. We are not sauvy in Apple or iphoto so this has been extremely frustrating for us.

    Files on disk have no order - they are given the order by the viewing program - finder on the Mac - using the finder you can view files by many different sorts - file name - date created - date moified - size - etc
    Deciede how you are going to sort them when you view them and then export them so that sort works for you
    Generally using an alpha sort to view and exporting using the sequential nameing option is the solution - see the user tip on exporting for the options available

  • I have just put an audio book into my iTunes music library.  When I tried to transfer it to my iPod shuffle it rearranged the tracks so that they are in the wrong order.  How can I put them in the order they appear in the book?

    I have just put an audio book into my iTunes music library.  When I tried to transfer it to my iPod Shuffle it put the chapters in the wrong order i.e. Chap 1, Chap 10, Chap 11 etc. rather than Chap 1, Chap 2, Chap 3 ...  How can I get it to put them in the order they appear in the book?

    First, we need to know if the audiobook chapters are being treated by iTunes as music files or as audiobooks. If they are not audiobooks purchased from the iTunes store, they might be getting "shuffled". You will need to look at "File" - "Properties" (I think - I don't use iTunes under Windows - or right-click on the file and choose "properties") and look at the media type. If it is "Music", change it to "Audiobook". If this is not the problem, or does not fix anything, please post back.
    Actually, looking at your post again, a second thought occurs to me - assuming there are less than 100 chapters in the book, just renaming them with a leading zero on the first nine chapters might do it. A computer will alphabetically sort filenames in the order you quote (1, 10, 11, 12, 13, ... 2, 21, etc.) but a leading zero will fix that (01, 02, 03 ... 10, 11, 12)

  • Why are my audiobooks showing up in my iTunes but they are not showing up on my iPod nano?

    So I downloaded an audiobook from an online source that is not from the iTunes store, but it is showing up in Books in the latest version of iTunes. I synced my iPod, and when I go into my Audiobooks in my iPod, it says that I don't have any. What is the problem? And how do I fix it?!?!

    Have you double checked to make sure these Audiobooks are configured to sync to your iPod from under the iPod's Books configuration tab in iTunes?
    To access this configuration tab, plug in your iPod and select it from under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes to bring yourself to the iPod's Summary tab.  Now locate the Books tab and select it.  Here you can configure what and how audiobooks are synced to the device.
    If you make any changes to this tab, make sure to hit the Apply button on in the lower right hand corner.

  • Why are my audiobooks not showing up in iTunes on my computer?

    I bought them on my iPhone but want to listen to them on my computer--which is hooked up to my tv--because it has better audio to listen to while I don't have headphones in.  Out of the three audiobooks I own, only half of one is in iTunes on my computer.  Yes, half.  After much prompting for it to search for available downloads--also tried directly syncing it with my phone, didn't work--my computer decided to only download half of my most recently purchased book.  I wouldn't nearly be so frustrated with it if it had downloaded the first half instead of the end, then I could at least listen to it and worry about the rest later, but alas.
    Going to just listen to it off my phone for now but would like to know how to solve this problem for future reference.  Any help would greatly be appreciated.  Thank you.

    Connect your iPhone to iTunes and use the File > Devices > Transfer Purchases feature to transfer the audiobooks into your library. Due to limitations by the rights holders audiobooks unlike most other digital purchases (now) may only be downloaded once. It is best practice to download to your computer and immediately back up any audiobooks or other items that are limited to a single download.
    As for the partial download you will need to contact the iTunes Store support team through the report a problem links in your account history and explain that one part of that title has yet to be delivered successfully to you. They should be able to requeue it for download.

  • Why are some songs in a playlist checked an others not?

    I have created a new playlist from some of my music but some of the songs have a tick (check) mark in the box next to them and others don't.  I can't seem to either check all of the songs or uncheck the checked ones.  Does this matter?  What does it mean?  Any advice gratefully received, thanks

    I have the same issue.. seems like randomly.. some songs are unchecked by iTunes (I've never proactively unchecked any).. is this a bug?

  • Why are songs from certain iTunes playlists not syncing correctly on my iPhone 4S or iPad?

    Songs in my playlists within iTunes do not appear within the playlists on both my iPhone 4S or iPad when I sync these devices to my computer... Anyone have an idea for how to remedy this problem?

    I solved with this trick, read in another thread:
    1 - Turn off iTunes match in iTunes.
    2 - Turn off iTunes match on the iPhone.
    3 - Close iTunes and reopen.
    4 - Connect your iPhone.
    5 - Go into your music folder for the iPhone and delete all the songs.
    6 - Turn back on iTunes match in iTunes
    7 - Turn back on iTunes match on the iPhone
    Now it works properly...

  • Why are purchased Audiobooks and Movies not downloadable in the Cloud?

    When I took a look at the new Purchased section in iTunes and found that movies and audiobooks were not there.  Is there a reason for this or is it Apple launching an incomplete servic?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Movies aren't included because of licensing issues, basically the movie studios haven't agreed to it yet. Don't know much about audiobooks but it may well be a similar thing.
