Zen 2gb and audio book chapters and bookma

Hello,
Right now I have a Zen Stone which I use mainly to download audio books and which I have outgrown. It was a good, cheap starter mp3, but now I want something better. (The tech upgrade?bug strikes again, I guess.) The main peeeve I have with the Zen Stone is that I cannot bookmark where I stopped in a book's chapter. Books download in sections whcih contain more that one actual chapte, so, when I have to recharge the battery, the Stone restarts at the last section, not where I quit to recharge. Thus, I have to re-listen to old material. Also, since there is no screen, I can't see where and what section/chapter I am anyway.
Will a better model Zen allow me to save and bookmark where I am in a book so that i can restart anywhere without going back over old material? Will I be able to see sections nad chapter headings (section 4, chapter6, e.g.) on the screen.
Any help appreciated. I am fairly new to mp3-land, but not to computers. Thanks

I can tell you that the Zen 2gb is not as great with audio books as it ought to be.
Audible?format audio books have chapter markings that the Zen can see. Overdri've?Media files?do not.
Yes, you can bookmark. However, when you go to the bookmark, the player does not remember that the bookmarked file was part of a playlist. Therefore, it loads only the one file and stops playing when it gets to the end. At that point you have to go back through the main menu to reload your playlist.
The "resume" function would make the bookmark problem less annoying, if it worked properly. The player will remember where you stopped and begin there the next time you turn the player on, unless you wait more than 2 hours. In that case, it starts at the beginning of the track and you have to FF till you find your place (hopefully you remembered to note the timer position before shutting down). This is the method I've settled on, because although I have to FF to my place every morning and evening, at least I don't have to keep reloading playlist.
Interestingly, although you can't bookmark videos on the Zen, you don't need to, because it remembers where you left off playing it no matter how long you wait, and even after synching.

  • 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...

  • I have a Zune. Can I transfer my audio books, music, and pics to a iPod?  How?

    I have a Zune.  I want to buy an iPod.  Can I transfer all my audio books, music, and pictures onto the iPod and if so how?

    For the music and audio books it depends upon where they came from.  If they have DRM protection and the DRM is not compatible with the iPod/iTunes then you are out of luck.  Audible.com audio are compatible with iTunes/iPod and you just add them to the Books library of iTunes.  Music, if compatible, is just added to the iTunes Music library.  Phots will sync just fine to the iPod.  See:

  • Chapter markers missing in podcasts and audio books

    With my new 5th gen iPod the chapter markers are gone from  both podcasts and audio books. Anyone able too tell me how you get them back?

    Do the podcasts on your iPod also appear under the podcasts menu?
    Unfortunately, it is perfectly normal for them to appear under artist and album on your iPod. The tags on the podcasts identify an artist and an album and they get added to those lists. Not sure why this is not reflected in iTunes.

  • Mixing music and audio books

    Is it possible to mix music and audio books on the same iPod and yet shuffle the music but not include the audio books when playing? If so how do I do it?
    New long battery life NANO
      Windows XP  

    You can right-click on an audiobook, choose Get Info,
    and checkmark "Skip when shuffling" on the Options
    tab. This is not necessary on true audiobook files
    (.aa, .m4b), as those are skipped automatically, but
    it's useful for mp3 files.
    As my 4 year old dog used to say, "Well, I knew that!"
    Thanks Craig!

  • Since I've updated to iOS 6 I am unable to use the next/back buttons from Headphone for audio book chapters.

    Since I've updated from iOS 5 to iOS 6 I am unable to use the next/back buttons from Headphone for audio book chapters.
    This is working fine for albums but are broken for audio books.
    The back button refers always to the first chapter of the audio book (very annoying if you are in the middle of an audio book) and the nex button goes one level higher back to the selection of the audio book itself.
    In iOS 5.0 it was still possible to navigate throught the audio book chapters using these buttons.
    This still happens in iOS 6.1.
    Is this a known bug?
    Does any solution exist?
    Thx,
    Oliver

    To gdgmacguy your a f****** idiot for one I'm having the same problem as pennymar. And you tell me to quit whinning. You got more problems then the iOS 6 you did not answer my question nor the other 13 or whatever you replied to within a 30 min time frame. You must got nothing better to do then to harass people and to pretend you know something about apple products. Which you don't from what I've read the other advices you should have gave to other people. But you didn't you replied a question back to the people asking a question. So if your not gonna use these community forums the right way don't use them at all.

  • How can I remove iCloud from my Mac Book and iPad and Mac Book Air and then just reload back on the MB Air and iPad only?

    How can I remove iCloud from my Mac Book and iPad and Mac Book Air and then just reload back on the MB Air and iPad only, which have a different user with a separate Apple ID?

    You have quite muddied up the waters, I'm afraid. Assuming you now have a single GUID partition formatted Mac OS Extended, Journaled, you should try reinstalling Lion:
    Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • How can I DISABLE the pop up 'Would you like to copy it to Library', preventing this message from bothering for each and every book, again and again, time after time? (Windows 7 64bit US).

    How can I DISABLE the pop up 'Would you like to copy it to Library', preventing this message from bothering for each and every book, again and again , time after time? (Windows 7 64bit US).
    I guess this may be a feature request. Adobe may think this is a good message for every new eBook.
    I sure would like to decide about that myself.
    Thanks in advance if this will be changed.

    Decided to setup the mail for exchange on my N8 so I could see my work emails. Worked like a charm but after a couple of hours decided I didn't like being that contactable so deleted the mailbox.
    Now to the problem, during setup I was forced to enable the phone lock and had to pick a 7 digit alphanumeric code. Fair enough I thought and went ahead. When I removed the mailbox however the lock remained in place with the default auto time of 30 minutes. When I checked in Phone management there is no option to disable this lock so I thought I could at least change the default time to something bigger but when you try, it remains at 30 mins. You also can't disable the auto time as it pops up an error message saying can't unlock phone.
    Does anyone know if I'm missing something obvious here or is this something which can't be disabled once it's switched on? I've done a soft reset back to factory settings with no luck and the only other thing I can think of is re installing the firmware which seems a bit extreme.
    Would like to hope there is some way to have control over this. Can someone help?
    Which firmware your N8 having now? You can check firmware by choosing Call, then type *#0000#.
    My N8 works fine on security setting and able to define Phone auto lock period, by choosing Menu>Settings>Phone>Phone management>Security settings>Phone and SIM card>Phone auto lock period>User defined>Lock after(minutes)
    You will prompt to enter Lock code each time u define auto lock priod or enable/disable auto lock.
    Hope this can help you.
