I’ve been trying to inport my audio books to I tunes ibook folder but for some reason it will only let me inport to my music.
Is there a way to move it to my I book folder, or inport straight to I books?
Thanks for any help.

When you place the files of the book y ou're reading into Itunes, you need to select the entirety of the book (all the files) and open the context menu, then select "get info". On one of the tabs there will be options for what type of format the files are, one of those files is audiobook. Sorry I can not recall the name of the tab, but you'll find it pretty easily. Once you'[ve done that - and made sure the files all have the proper tags for artist, album etc, the book will appear in the audiobooks section of your itunes, and of your device's music folder. One thing I do is create a playlist which I name organization. I put files - either books or music albums - in that playlist, then select all and change the tagging so the whole album is the proper artist (or author) and title. If you just put the files in music you may find they split themselves into multiple albums because of impropper tagging.

Yes, it should be on your audiobooks foulder, rather than on your ibooks foulder.

Yes, thank you.
I’ve tried this, you go to get info then option then to media kind.
The only problem is there is only 1 choice, music
