iTunes Syncing 101
Posted 9 months, 2 weeks ago by AldereteResearching the answer to a reader question, I came across the following article in Apple’s Knowledgebase, and it’s so generally useful, I thought I mention it:
It covers the most basic information about how to sync audio from iTunes to your iPod or iPhone, but that’s often the best place to start when you have sync problems. For more advanced syncing settings specific to audiobooks, see my article Managing audiobooks on a small-capacity iPod.

Thank you so much for taking the time to explain all this about iTunes 8 so simply and well! I’m only interested in using an iPod for audiobooks – and I had given up entirely because I couldn’t solve the problems you describe. Then my husband bought me a digital radio and I thought I would try again – only to become frustrated and cross – until I found your site and the solutions you have provided. It is much appreciated.

Hope you can help me. I’m entirely at a loss re managing my audiobooks on my ipod. I have no idea how to save an audiobook in the library but get it off the actual ipod once I’ve listened to it. I tried this recently – deleted it from the ipod but now cannot seem to get the audiobook back. In other words, I don’t want to keep them all on the ipod because I’m running out of space, but I do want to be able to hear them again should I decide to do that. I’ve also tried unticking them in itunes and then syncing, but that didn’t do anything. Your thoughts?
Thanks,
Jill
