Get "Paired Apple watch is not responding" message. Message suggests putting watch on charger (it is there!), making sure Airplane mode is not enabled (it isn't) and reconnecting watch and phone (I have). Have uninstalled and reinstalled Audible, etc., etc. Nothing seems to work. Watch indicates that it is connected to the phone and other things work okay.
Apple Watch
This works! Seems that the app is somehow not recognising that the audio book is being synchronised. Once it is done although no progress was recognised, the book is finally synchronised to the watch which took about 10-15 minutes. The message disappeared and it was done. Just give it some time...
I've tried all of the techniques mentioned here and nothing is working.
Same issue. Seems IOS 13 is not as stable as I expected as several items no longer work as before. Hope they fix this soon.
Is there any update on this?
Do I need to put in a trouble ticket for it to get fixed, or simply wait until the app update comes out?
If you don't see the book on your watch after successful sync, restarting your watch should make the book appear.
I don't have sync position issue, and I have Apple Watch 5.
Same issue. Maddening. Don’t we buy Apple products so we don’t have to deal with these issues?
I have received the same response from Audible "help"
Agree with sentiments
Sadly it bits syncing with Apple Watch zero percent and then stops even work Bluetooth off and watch plugged in. Very frustrating
I am having this same issue now- any update on whether it has been fixed? I use books on my watch to complete my long runs.
This also fixed my problem. But be careful not to download more than one book at a time or it may crash which happened to me
Apple iphone 6s error is (Software Update Failed An error occourred downloading ios 13.3)
please give me answer...
This issue has been happening to me before iOS13 and it’s still an issue. Can’t sync audiobooks to my Apple Watch right now. This is absolutely bananas. This is clearly affecting many people.
Is anyone at Audible listening?
I've tried everything here without success. I can't even get past "Preparing your content." It literally is just stuck on "0%". Same story with the Apple Watch 4 and 5 both. Reflects extremely poorly on Audible!!!
UPDATE: after being able to sync the books it disappears from the watch again occasionally. The sync of the position of the book on iPhone and watch is also not working correctly. This is all crap! Contact Audible support as Apple will not help you, as this is a 3rd-party-app...
I updated my phone and my audible no longer syncs. After weeks of back and forth I have been told it’s a software problem and I have to wait for it to hopefully be fixed with future app updates. Absolute pain
Issue with syncing Audible from iPhone to Apple Watch since updating to IOS 13 and Watch 6
