Why do I need to create playlists to sync audiobooks correctly?

When I try to just sync audiobooks to my iPod, I get a jumble of tracks. I have to create each audiobook as a playlist, and then add the playlists. Also, I had to designate each audiobook as such (instead of music) but in the grid view, each one was still categorized as music and it was impossible to change them. Only in list view could I change each track and have it "stick." I have been messing with syncing my iPod for over an hour now, when it should be an easy procedure.

Unfortunately, organazing audiobooks is a bit trickier than it needs to be.  See this excellent article from another forum member turingtest2 for more information and tips.

  • Order types, why do we need to create our order types and not use the stand

    HI
    Order types, why do we need to create our order types and not use the standard ones during implementation.

    Hi Raj,
    Well there is no hard and fast rule that you have to copy nad create a new order type. Its just to meet our own requirements that we copy the standard and make the changes if required to meet our business needs.
    And by this way we keep unchanged the standard order type for further use.
    If you are sure that the standard order type satisfies your need you can directly use that only.
    I hope this clarifies the issue.
    Do reward if find useful

  • When and Why Do We Need to Create 2 Diff iTunes Libraries?

    Hi,
    When and Why Do We Need to Create 2 Diff iTunes Libraries?
    Thanks.
    Ed

    There's no fast rule sayng you must, and I suspect most people only use one.
    You might want to set up a second library if your first one is so huge that it is slow to operate.  Split your media. For example, I don't listen to classical and rock music at the same time and could restart iTunes ffrom a different library when the time came to switch.
    I have a few extra libraries. One's for music I organized for a special occasion but don't really listen to myself and don't want it cluttering mine. I also have a special library for my mp3 player (not an Apple model) with its own set of files which match some in my main library but they are tagged differently to be compatible with the player's quirks.
    I could also see having a different library for files on an external drive if you have some on your internal drive too.  You might, for example, have a bunch of movie files on an external drive that you don't normally need to have plugged in all the time and don't want iTunes giving you a bunch of exclamation marks if are using it to play your music media on your internal drive.

  • Why does my outlook keep creating modgroups when syncing with ipad?

    Why does my outlook 2007 keep creating modgroups when syncing with my ipad 2. If also takes very long for the two to sync.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
    You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
    Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel.
    There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first.

  • Why doesn't a newly created playlist appear in the playlist section of 7.02

    I create a new playlist "File>New Playlist" and add songs from my library to it. The "Burn Disk" icon does not appear.
    In fact, the playlist itself only appears in Devices but not in the playlist section, why?

    Thanks for the idea. I checked and found that the machine serving up the database does in fact have XP SP2 installed. I disabled the firewall completely, and that solved the problem. (At first, I just unchecked the LAN connection under the Advanced Tab of the Firewall applet, but that did not do the job, I had to turn it off completely from the General Tab.)
    I also found this relevent information:

  • Why do we need to create Packages?

    Packages I know are used to group procedures together. But why do we create packages when stored proc alone is sufficient.

  • Why does FF need to create 10,000 folders for the cache? How do I make it go back into single folder mode?

    Before it was x:\\Cache\"stuff"...Simple easy to find files if you need to.
    Now its..
    x:\\Cache\X\x1\"a little stuff"
    x:\\Cache\X\xA\"a little more stuff"
    x:\\Cache\X\x0\"a even more little stuff"
    x:\\Cache\X\x9\" crap... I'm lost now""
    What is the purpose for the extra folders? I want to be able to revert it back to single folder mode.

    You would need to revert to Firefox 3.6.23 to have the old cache setup.
    The multiple cache folder setup is to allow for a larger cache which works more efficiently that earlier versions worked.

  • 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 do i need a recovery pass to sync my bookmarks??????

    I need to use my bookmarks, even if i don't have my PC close to me. It's totally pointless to impose to all users the recovery key system. I don't need full encrypted data, i need fast and easy access!!!!!! I need my bookmarks accessible to me everywhere I am!!! "print and keep the recovery key in a safe place" my ass.... Obviously it's in a safe place, Three damned thousand kilometers away from me!!!!
    The only option i have it's to erase all my data and start again. Yes, i will start again, but using another browser!!!!!
    I'm so pissed of with that, i'm leaving Firefox for good.
    ''moderator edited the title of this thread for clarity''

    If someone else has access to the computer where Sync already is set up, they can generate a pair code for you to add the device you're using where you are now. See: [[How do I add a device to Firefox Sync?]]
    If you want to access saved data from any random device, then as you've discovered, Sync is not the right service to use for that. You could use a third party service like Xmarks, or if you don't need two-way sync, export your bookmarks to an HTML file and host it somewhere convenient to you like your Dropbox, Google Docs, a website you control, or as an email attachment.

  • Why do we need material specification for transfering results to class char.

    Hi,
    Can you guys tell me why do we need to create material specification if we want to transfer quality inspection results to a batch class?
    Basically I have done the following:
    -Create Class Characteristic
    -Assign the Class Characteristic to a batch class
    -Link Class Char.  to MIC
    -Assign MIC to an Inspection Plan
    -Post GR, batch and inspection lot are created automatically
    -Record Results for inspection Lot
    -Make UD for Inspection Lot
    The result is not transferred to batch class, then I create material specification with the MIC assigned, the results can be transferred. But why?
    Best regards
    Danny

    Hello Danny,
    This is a standard program, which checks for this indicator at the time of inspection lot completion.
    F1- help gives satisfactory explanation
    Batch Valuation Possible Without Specification
    Use
    If you set this indicator, a link between the master inspection
    characteristics and the class characteristics for the batch class must exist
    when an inspection lot is created, for batch valuation to occur when the usage
    decision or inspection point valuation is made. A link within the material
    specification is not required.
    If you do not set this indicator, batch valuation only occurs when the
    usage decision or inspection point valuation is made, if a link using the
    material specification exists between the master inspection characteristics and
    the class characteristics for the batch class. In this way, you can control on a
    material-dependent basis whether the batch characteristics are valuated based on
    the inspection results.
    Amol.
    Message was edited by: Amol Manave : Main purpose is you can control whether Batch characteristics should be valuated based on results or not for particular material. If you set this indicator then batch characteristics will be valuated for all materials and in opposite case Batch characteristics will be valuated for only materials for which Material Specification exists.

  • Why do I need a CSR if I use -genkey

    I must not be understanding something correctly.
    What I am doing is:
    1. create a key with keytool
    2. create a csr
    3. sign the csr with my security-manager-tool
    But now that I am reading the keytool doc it says the -genkey creates a self-signed certificate, so why do I need to create a csr and sign it with my security-manager?

    Well I think I have an answer to my own question which is:
    In most cases, you can
    1. generate a key
    2. self-sign the key/act as your own CA (OR have verisign/thawte sign your key)
    After going through the keytool doc it turns out
    1. keytool cannot self-sign the key
    (However, I can self-sign the key with EA/jaguar security manager).
    So basically if people are trying to self-sign the key with keytool, don't even try.
