Q: Why haven't my audiobooks on my iphone appeared in my itunes library on my computer?

I've downloaded some audiobooks on my iphone and unlike the music i've downloaded they have not appeared in the books section of my library or anywhere in my library on my laptop. Any suggestions?

 

Thanks, Tim.

iPhone 4S, Windows 7

A:

Audiobooks (and ringtones) are currently a one-time only download from the store, so automatic downloads won't work for them. You will need to connect the phone to your computers iTunes and do File > Transfer Purchases (File > Devices > Transfer Purchases on iTunes 11) to copy them over, and they should appear in the Books seection of your library.
