Audiobooks won't transfer to iphone (but will transfer to ipod...)

So I don't have shuffle issues, all my audiobooks have been scrunched into single mpeg4 files for play in the ipod. Works beautifully, itunes and the ipod even save my place until I choose to come back to the book.

This is what I'm doing to get the audiobooks onto my ipod. I double click the audiobook folder under my ipod icon, a second window pops up just for audiobooks on the ipod. I can then easily drag and drop whatever I want from the itunes audiobook folder and the file immediately syncs to the ipod.

I've tried this with the iphone.......nothing but a circle with a black line through it once I'm over the open audiobook folder for the iphone. I've tried everything. There's no tranfer to, copy to, copy/paste doesn't work, no audiobook tab on the detailed sync screen...

How do I get an audiobook onto my iphone?

after you connect your iPhone, go into the "music" tab, and you can setup your audiobook syncing.

however, the best way to do it would probably be to use a playlist, and you then manually add/remove things you want on your iPhone from there, and every time you sync, your most up to date list will be copied over.

I've tried this. I have created a playlist with a single audiobook in it, it is checked, but it will not sync. It's not a space issue I have over 4g available and the book is less than 500mb.

It behaves as if it is syncing, says that is what it is doing on the phone and in itunes, but nothing actually copies.

I've also gone to the music tab and checked the audiobook folder. Again, nothing syncs.
