I have this fabulous new Garmin 3490LMT. It comes Audible ready, but I cannot figure out a way to get the audio books I have already purchased (and listened to on my IPOD) out of iTunes and onto the Garmin device. Am I missing something? I tried manually movingthe device to the Garmin - but that did not work.
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.8), Audible books
iTunes does not support non-Apple devices, so you'll have to locate the audiobook file in your iTunes folder and use whatever procedure or software Garmin provides for loading audiobook files onto the 3490.
Regards.
This appears to be a case of circular finger pointing. Apple will not let Audible install their Audible manager on Macs, insisting that iTunes does the job. However iTunes supports only Apple devices, so there is still not an answer. Apple is not enabling me to use a device that cannot be replicated with an Apple device and/or app. Major disappointment! Am booting up my PC to get the job done.

What audible.com actually says is, "Mac users using iTunes do not need to download any additional software. Audible files will download directly into iTunes." To me it reads like Audible didn't even bother writing one since iTunes already downloads their content. But you are right, iTunes does not support the myriad of third party devices out there. However, there is often still some way to get files onto a device. For example, page 49 of the Garmin manual says, "Your device and memory card appear as removable drives in My Computer in Windows and as mounted volumes on Mac computers." If you do some poking around you'll probably find where the audiobooks are stored and can just drag them from the iTunes library to the device. I do this with my non-Apple MP3 player.
