Your iTunes will still recognize your iPod after an OS/firmware update via
its device name.

Where's my audiobook?

Posted by: "AP" aphil@mindspring.com   abecdcp

FIRST OFF ... this IS a repeat of a message posted to another group .. because there may be different readers on this group. ... Okay?
--------------------------------
I downloaded an audiobook to my computer from the local public library using the Overdrive (OD) software supplied by them. After downloading to my computer, I transferred (I thought) the audiobook files to my iPad. Then .. nowhere could I find the audiobook--on the iPad or in the iTunes library.

After a bit of detective work, I determined that the files were in DRM-protected WMA format. I understand I need MP3 for my iPad.

QUESTION: Is it legal to remove DRM protection from these files? If so, is there free software available to do this? What is a reliable program to use? I have the Cucusoft software which has been doing a great job of conversion for me so far, but solving the DRM problem has me stymied.

I assume that once DRM removal is accomplished, I can convert the WMA viles to MP3 and move them to the iPad.
================================
I think being able to download library books to my iPad is a wonderful thing .. BUT, I've had nothing but trouble from the beginning doing this. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't ... and iTunes seems to "hide" audiobooks in various places ... I've had them turn up under song titles in my Music app, and in other places too. .............. Also, I've never yet found out how to REMOVE these library offerings from my iPod/iPad ... they don't seem to show up in iTunes at all.
I'm not computer-illiterate, but iTunes is a love/hate thing with me.

HELP, HELP ... Anyone out there adept at public library borrowing?? Advice, please!

Post about music tracks quitting after a few seconds of play never a

Hi, I wrote a question a few days ago that never got posted on the group. I don't know why. It was a valid question.

I wanted to know why music tracks kept switching to the next track after a few seconds of play when my iPod is in my pocket but not when I'm holding it in my hand. Just before the iPod switches to another track I hear a short musical tone.

Should I make some sort of change in my settings to prevent this from happening? Thanks.

On your iPod, go to:
Settings > Music > switch "Shake to Shuffle" to OFF
