Good evening.
I'd like a bit of advice regards iTunes, please.
I have just transferred an audiobook collection of Yes, Minister and Yes, Prime Minister to my iTunes account on my PC. I now wish to access these books via iTunes on my Apple iPad but am having no success whatsoever. Every time I try to download iTunes to my iPad a message pops up informing me that iTunes is already included on this iOS device. The problems are, however, the screen looks totally different; I am unable to find where one signs in to my account; and hence cannot navigate to the necessary audiobook page where I hope my audiobooks are waiting.
What am I missing, apart from any sort of technological nous of course?
Many thanks if anyone can help.

What about if you go to settings/ITunes & App Store and put in your iTunes account details there?
Excellent idea, Joel. I can't get my hands on the iPad just at the moment, but will definitely be trying that ASAP. sir.
Sorry to be an idiot, but would I be correct in assuming that when I downloaded the audiobooks on to iTunes via my PC they should then be accessible from iTunes on any other machine?

I actually just bought an ipad the other day, and just looking at that setting screen, there's a few options in there to automatically download things purchased in the store to it so it should work, the other option is to plug it into your PC and sync it that way.
Can you excplain exactly how I could get the audiobooks (MP3 files) from my PC across to the iPad, please?
A couple of ways, I just went into that settings screen I mentioned and set it to show all music and videos I have purchased through ITunes (I've bought a few songs for my phone). They now show up under music and I can either play it by streaming it or there is a little picture of a cloud which if I press that it will then download it to the ipad.
The other option is to plug your ipad into your PC with the USB cable and ITunes will find it and there will be options in there to transfer the purchases to it.

Excellent. Many thanks, sir, it's much appreciated. I will be trying that first thing tomorrow.
No worries, just read your original question again, did you purchase them through ITunes or just added them into your library from somewhere else, if you purchased from the iTunes store then that first option will work, if you bought them elsewhere and just added them to your library then you'll need to plug your ipad into the PC and sync from there.
A friend gave them to me as MP3 copies, then I just dragged and dropped them into the iTunes library.
OK then yep you will need to plug your Ipad in with the USB cable then ITunes should automatically detect it and start, and ask what you want to do. There will be a setting in iTunes to automatically sync music so you will need to turn that on
