You can use cmd-v but cmd-o still works as far as I know in iTunes on the Mac; then you navigate to what you want to add to your library.

You also mention going to the iTunes store but of course books there wouldn't be ones you bought unless you are looking in purchases; this is probably what you meant. You would probably have to choose the music radio button and also the my music radio button in the next group of radio buttons or at least not have the itunes store radio button selected. Then under "more" would be audiobooks and then to the right of that the my audiobooks radio button. That should bring up all your audiobooks. Maybe you already knew all this but I thought because I had questions about what you wrote I would post this anyway. -- Cheryl "Move forward by looking back!

It actually went quite fast compared to my previous failed attmetps. But am unable to add a couple audio books I had bought and which are on both iPhone and iPad. Automatically add does not do it and < does Transfer Purchases. Went to the iTunes Store and found old books I do not want, but the two do not show up. I got both devices synced to the Mac now (used Windows before) but its not clear why the books are not in the iTunes library. If I can get this fixed I can move to another project. >From The Believer. . . . . . what if it were true? ancient.ali...@icloud.com On 1/28/2015 11:26 AM, Sabahattin Gucukoglu wrote: > The important caveat is that when you put stuff into the Automatically Add to > iTunes folder, you must do so atomically, i.e. move, not copy.
