I have several audiobooks and for some reason, none of them will sync to my iPhone. When I look for them in the "audiobooks" section of my iPhone, nothing is there. I have "selected audiobooks" checked in iTunes just like allways. I've tried syncing while directly plugged into my Macbook and wirelessly to no avail.
I just don't understand how Apple handles audiobooks. I have a variety of books which have been either ripped from CDs or downloaded from Audible. The ripped books are in my library by following the steps below:
1. Insert disk; join tracks; hit import
2. When the whole book is on the hard drive, select all files; get info; change media type to audiobook
3. Create smart playlist with two criteria - 1) album name; 2) plays=0
When I plug in my phone, under the book tab, the playlist/book will appear in either "Audiobooks" or "Include Audiobooks from Playlists." Sometimes this will be in one; sometimes the other; sometimes both. Can't figure out a pattern.
When I synch my phone, my books often, but not always, show up under the Audiobook icon. Sometimes they show up under "Playlist" and then under "books."
how to make this more dependable? why itunes separates the two locations for audiobooks?
I have certain audiobooks that will NOT delete from my iphone.They all happen to be WMA audiobooks from Overdrive Media Library. When connecting my iphone to itunes, they were visible under "Books". I deleted them and they were removed (but only from books in iphone in itunes). [Side note- these audiobooks were never in my itunes library. Through Overdrive Media Console, they transfer directly to your iphone.]Upon searching on my iphone in the "spotlight search", the audiobooks still came up in search results, and i could still play them. So they are still trapped on my iphone! Interesgtingly, these trapped audiobooks are not located in any traceable location. They are no where in Music anywhere( ie artists, song, album, etc). And they are not in Audiobooks under the More section(not in compilations, not in podcasts, etc). They only come up in "spotlight search".
And the best part,after hours of trying to figure this out, I accidently wiped out all my music and other normal functioning audiobooks (i was experimenting with "Sync", thinking maybe that would help), and everything was wiped out, EXCEPT THE 3 WMA Audiobooks that i was trying to get rid off!They are still on my iphone- like cockroaches.
I have several audio books on my iPhone 5s; I am using iOS 7.1.1. I could find the books when I was using iPhone 4s. I have not been able to find them since migrating to the iPhone 5. The iTunes interface on my computer indicates that the books are on my iPhone. I searched for info on finding them, and was pointed to the Music app. I have not been able to find them there either.
After the software update this weekend, my audiobooks no longer sync to my iPhone 4. They used to no problem. I can still listen to them via the Audible App.
The iOS music app on my phone repeatedly is losing playback position for audiobooks. I go to the Music app > Audiobooks > BookTitle and get to a menu where I see part 1, part 2, part 3, part 4, and part 1 says, below the title/author listing, saysÂ
8:53:58Â 6hr 49 min leftÂ
And I touch the title to start it playing, and it shows the little red marker on the progress bar at about the right position for 2 hours having been played, and as often as not, there is a little flash and then the red marker is back at the far left side and it starts playing again at the beginning. Â
These are books from various sources--today's example was a Librivox download, others have been books on CD, and checking in iTunes verifies that they have been correctly coded as audiobooks and 'remember playback position' is automatically checked.Â
It's a PITA hunting through an 8 hour long recording with only the crude control of the little progress bar and 15 second skip forward/back to find the spot I left off.Â
It doesn't happen with the same titles in iTunes on the computer.Â
When calling with Skype the called party can see and hear me perfectly but I can neither hear nor see them. Normal calls with the 4S work just fine. I tried activating the Skype test call and it connected just fine but I was unavble to hear anything.
Info: iPhone 4S, iOS 5.1.1, Tried rebooting without success
I have had similar issues in the past when I had to deal with itunes match. I havent even turned it on with the new restore, yet still my audio books will sync and transfer but dont show under my music app. Anyone else having this issue?
I have an Iphone 4s - cannot hear the audio on the phone or hear music being played. When I try to turn up the audio the screen says audio-headsets? But yet, I have no headset connect.how to change where I can hear audio?
Hi I have a problem with my iphone 4S, whilst using facetime I can hear the other person but they cant hear me. visual stuff is fine. the volume buttons (on side) are to max, the phone isnt on silent, i am not clicking the mute button on screen... loudspeaker works during normal calls.... tried hard resets etc, phone is updated, still no luck?
I have the iphone 4s through Sprint. Sometimes when I make outgoing calls, I can't even hear the phone ring or the person on the other line, but it does connect and they can hear me. It doesn't happen all of the time, but more frequently then not.
When I make a phone call I can hear the other line but they cannot hear me. At first I thought it was a blue tooth connection problem, so I used the head phones. I got the same result. I disconnected the head phones and used the phone directly and also using the speaker, but I still could not be heard.
Basically during a call, no body can hear me but i can hear them. However i can still record on voice memo and on video. I am on a phone 4 on the 5.1.1 software on Tesco Mobile UK.
I have an iPhone 4 and over the last few days I can't hear anyone when they call me or when I call them, however they can hear me. I have been using skype to call people on the phone via 3g and that works fine. It started as crackling and static on the line initally but now there is no sound at all. I've tried cleaing out the charger port and headphones jack, checked all volumes, restarted the phone and changed sim card but still to no avail.
I have used the iphone to listen to my audiobooks since I got my first iphone. only about 6 will sync. I can check them and it stays checked but they will not transfer. This included some of the ones that I have had on it before. I have even tried to sync all audio books, but only the same few will transfer. During transfer there is no mention of the checked books
