Missing Audiobook I have just two audiobooks and they appear in the Books apps on my Mac, iPad and iPhone, except that I've now lost one of the books from the Mac and I can't find a way to reinstate it. If I search for the title, the only results come with a price for me to buy that title again. The missing audio book still appears on my iPad and my iPhone. How do I get it back on my Mac?

How can I stop the Books App from making another copy of my audiobooks into its library? After many years of using an old 2009 iMac, I recently moved to a newer model running Ventura. I have a bunch of audiobooks I purchased over the years which I had added to my old Mac in m4b format. I just imported all my audiobooks to Books and suddenly I lost 100GB of space in my disk. As it turns out, Books made a copy of every single file into its own library. These are the exact same files! No changes made, just copied them instead of using the original location for the same file. How can I stop this behaviour? In Music App there is a setting to stop Music copying songs to Music library. I do not see this option in Books. Anybody has a trick? I am running out of space on my 1TB disk because MAC OS wants to have two copies of every file :-(.

Apple Books app not showing imported audiobooks All of my audiobooks, purchased via Audible, have been imported into Apple Books app. They all used to show under the "Audiobooks" option. Having upgraded to Sequoia, I have opened Books for the first time and none show. The underlying files are (as far as I can see) are there under the Library/containers..... subfolders. If I try to reimport, the Apple Books dialog won't let me select the hidden folders beneath Library. Looks like an upgrade bug to me.
