Audible Files in iTunes not authorized

I get the following error when syncing my iPhone 3GS to itunes:

“Some of the Audible files in the iTunes library were not copied to the iPhone “iphone” because you are no authorized to play them on this computer.”

I tried to deauthorize my account:

Got this confirmation message:

Once this is done, click on Books in the left sidebar menu:

Click play on one of the books:

You’ll get a warning message:

Enter your Audible username and password, then click okay.  The book will start playing and you will now be able to sync your iphone/ipod/ipad without getting the error message.

 

Here are some references:

I found this thread:

https://discussions.apple.com/message/4197927?messageID=4197927

So I contacted Audible on 4/27/2011 and am awaiting their response.

It’s 5/2/2011 and there has been no response from Audible, however I came across a fix to the problem described above by chance and it worked.
