Q: Will audiobooks be sent to the cloud too and would I find them in the music app.

I have already purchased a few books on my MacBook. I want to listen to them on my latest model ipad and iPhone 5..How do I get them to both devices or better yet to the cloud so I can listen to them on a trip and store them in the cloud? One set of directions said to use the list on the left side in iTunes but how do I show the list on the left?

iPhone 5, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8), Own latest iPad too

A:

iCloud doesn't sync audiobooks, and they can't be redownloaded from iCloud.  They have to be synced to your devices using iTunes.  To show the left sidebar in iTunes, go to View>Show Sidebar.  Connect your device to your computer, open iTunes, click on the name of your device in iTunes, go to the Books tab of your iTunes sync settings, click Sync Audiobooks and select the books to sync, then click Apply at the bottom to sync.
