iTunes 12.2: missing info in Authors view for audiobooks

I have exactly the same problem. In fact within the BOOKS section the Authors view is blank for "My Audiobooks", "My Books" and "My PDFs". Tyical as the audiobooks section is the one I use the most!

I think, developers at Apple not listening audiobooks :-) And testers too 😁

Yes, same here. Both Mac and Windows versions. 😟

I have the exact same problem on my Windows 7 OS.

I feel a little better now knowing I'm not alone in my annoyance with Apple.😠

Has this already been reported as a bug so they can work on fixing it?

Having the same issue. Where were the devs and testers on this issue?

Same problem. @!@$@$!!!!!$@#@!! Apple truly, are you simply incompetent? Why don't you stop building buildings and start hiring some QA?

Seriously?

Mad as ****.

The iTunes 12.2 version worked fine on my Macbook Pro and Mac Mini until the 12.2.0.145 update. I spent about 45 minutes on the phone and screen sharing with an Apple Senior Tech. They have seen the problem first hand as of the day that the update was released.

The iTunes 12.2 version worked fine on my Macbook Pro and Mac Mini until the 12.2.0.145 update. I spent about 45 minutes on the phone and screen sharing with an Apple Senior Tech. They have seen the problem first hand as of the day that the update was released and said that it would be addressed. They know that it is a program problem, not my library's problem.The problem gets even more mysterious than just the artwork display. If you select an author who has only one book in your library and right click, you will see that you are given the opportunity to play that particular book. The book title is displayed when you right click. Now select an author with more that one book in your library and right click. My library doe not display the title if there is more than one book, but I am given the choice to "play" something. iTunes seems to know that the books are there and know if there is more than one related to an author, which it should. It seems to me that the update version was not thouroghly tested before being released. If it had been, the problem would not exist. As a lay person it would seem to me that the procedure ("code") for displaying the artwork for an audiobook should not be any different than that of displaying the artwork for an album, other than telling the program to look in a different place to get it, but then, I am just a user letting logic cloud the issue.

I can concur that Web300m's points about playing from the left Author list is correct and the whole issue is clearly one with the code and not with individuals.

Hopefully the fact the problem is not "just on windows" as Apple support suggested to me will see more effort into getting a quick fix but I am not holding my breath for a speedy outcome - 7 months for the last issue I reported to them after an update screwed something up that was always working just fine.

I have been promised feedback from Apple Tech Support by Thursday morning. If I get any positive news I will share there.

I have had my promised call back from Apple's Support Team in Ireland.

Good news is they have managed to replicate the issue across differing platforms and as such accept there is a problem. The bad news is they are not willing to give any indication of a estimated timescale for a fix. I have voiced my disapproval at this and have been advised that "this is the process and they can do no more".

IT' very easy, no fix - no new version, no new version - less new money for new futures. I'm stay at 12.1.2, enyone may may make downgrade even at mac and be happy.

I can't see nothing strange in fact that XP meet end off support. Many users, that use Apple music, not only don't listen audiobooks, but don't read paper books - that is a fact. Regarding OS version ... I'm tired to say "WOW" and make big eyes when Apple or MS make something new (as they think).

The world stay the same: U need speak with friends, read books and listen music, have great time with family... I have no satisfaction from extra perfect pressing keyboard or touchscreen, I must do that stupid movement couse generation of devices changing.

Is it true that Apple music - completely different music? Or someone whose ears stick out from Cupertino and Redmond, trying to bind to something usual and standard? I do not believe that thrifty people sleep and see how to get the opportunity to quickly and smarter spend the money.

The same situation in world of OS. I think that this error is not an accident, and was made deliberately to force the switch to the new device and new OS. Each time before changing generation devices Apple launches "last update" turns the good working device into lazy slow brick.

I'm still using MacBook Pro, reading books from iPad Mini, calling iPhone, but more often look to Android devices - less upgrade - longer life!
