Once I've listened to an audiobook or an audiobook chapter in iTunes, I can't play it again. How do I fix this?
Thanks.

Brenden,
I just discovered the fix. Under info, I clicked the Reset button and I can listen again. Thanks for your help!

Hi stlsteven,
Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Communities. I see no one has responded to your post yet. Here are a couple of things that might help others answer your question.
When you say you can't play an audiobook again, what exactly is happening?
Is the audiobook seemingly missing from library, or does it give you an error message? If you get an error what does it say?
Which macOS version are you using?
I hope this helps get you started.
Cheers.
Hello stlsteven,
We appreciate that follow-up.
When you let an audiobook play all the way through and the issue occurs, what action do you have to take to be able to play the same audiobook again? For example, quitting out of iTunes, restarting the Mac, or something else?
It sounds like updating iTunes is a great idea to start: Update to the latest version of iTunes.
Feel free to reply back to the Apple Support Communities with the results.
Take care.
Hi stlsteven, and thank you for that follow-up information.
What's the source of these audiobooks? Are they purchased from iTunes, imported, or from another source like Audible? Do you get the same result with audiobooks from all sources?
Have a great day.
Joseph,
Thanks for responding.
I can play an audiobook over and over as long as I don't let it run completely to the end. If I do let it run to the end, it is still in my library, but if I click on it, the title etc briefly appear in the Apple window at the top of the library window, but it disappears in a second. The same occurs if it is highlighted and I click on the "play" arrow.

Hi Brenden,
Thanks for your response. Nothing works. I have the latest version of iTunes, I have quit iTunes and restarted my computer. I have tried starting from the file itself. This only happens when I finish a chapter (can't repeat the chapter) or the audiobook.
Thanks again
Steve
Hi stlsteven,
Thanks for replying to let the community know the issue is taken care of, and thanks for sharing that solution!
Take care.
Audiobooks only play once in iTunes
