- 1). Check to make sure the audio book plays in iTunes if it won't play on the iPod. On your computer, double-click on the problematic file. You may need to enter your iTunes user name and password. Select your iPod and click "Sync iPod" under the "File" menu.
- 2). Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes. You can update it by downloading a new version from the Apple website. Also check for updates to your iPod software. With your iPod selected in iTunes, click the "Summary" tab.
- 3). Delete the file if it does not play in iTunes. Re-import it into iTunes from a backup copy or audio CD. Select the iPod and click the "File" menu. Select "Update iPod."
- 4). Choose a different menu. If you hear garbled audio while playing an audio book on your iPod, select the audio book from a menu other than "Music," such as "Playlists" or "Artists." The garbled sound is probably coming from a video that you just played. This can happen if you play a video on a 5th-generation iPod and immediately afterward start an audio book from the "Music" menu.
- 5). Use the "scrub" feature. If the iPod rewinds when you press the "Fast-forward" button while playing an audio book. the "scrub" feature will allow you to fast-forward a different way. While on the "Now Playing" screen, press the "Center" button. You'll see a diamond symbol that shows the point in the audio book that is selected. Use the scroll wheel to fast-forward in the audio book.
