Moving audiobook to iPhone

Using iTunes 12.10.8.5 in Windows 10 PC. Trying to move an audiobook from OverDrive to iPhone. Web search instructions are for older versions of iTunes. How do I get it done? Is there a better way to do this? Has Apple finally changed iTunes so it can't be done?

Windows, Windows 10

Hi MDTerp,


It sounds like you are wanting to transfer your audiobooks from OverDrive to iTunes so you can import them to your iPhone. We can help get you pointed in the right direction for support with this.


Depending on which model of iPhone you are using, you may be able to download the OverDrive application on your iPhone and access all your audiobooks without having to sync with iTunes. You can find more information about the application in the App Store here: OverDrive: eBooks & audiobooks


If you would prefer to use iTunes, you can find out more information about importing media into iTunes here: Import media from a computer to iTunes on PC


Should you need further assistance with the OverDrive files, we'd recommend contacting them directly for assistance.


Take care.
