80g not syncing TV shows purchased on iTunes (not an HD issue)

I have several TV programs that I purchased, some as long as 4 years ago, and some only a year ago. On my old computer I manually synced because my computer couldn't hold all my iPod content. Then I got a new computer and started auto syncing.
Now all my old TV shows (purchased through iTunes when I used my previous computer, copied to this computer from my iPod) won't sync to my iPod. I have selected the check box and selected all episodes of all shows. I have also tried doing "selected" and then checking the boxes, nothing works.
This is so enfuriating as all of these were legitimately purchased. I can watch them fine in iTunes, but can't get the d*mn things to copy/sync!

OKAY...this was the same thing that happened to me and I figured out the problem...it might be the same for you all...when you plug your iPod into the usb and the iPod Updater screen appears through your iTunes account, go to the "TV Shows" tab at the top. MAKE SURE YOU SELECT "Sync ALL videos." It turns out that the videos that weren't appearing on my iPod were the ones that had been watched at least once. I had the "Sync ALL UNWATCHED" option selected, there for all of the episodes that were viewed on my computer were not synced onto my iPod. HOPE THIS HELPS!

My Apple TV has stopped syncing TV shows in my iTunes Library

For some time I have been successfully using my Apple TV, to watch TV shows purchased from iTunes on my computer and synched to my Apple TV. Recently my Apple TV lost all of the TV shows which had previously been synched to it. When I now select "My TV Shows", I get the message "There are no TV shows on your Apple TV", and no shows are listed for my Apple TV in iTunes. And although I have many TV shows in my iTunes Library (for example the entire Season 1 of Heroes, with 11 unwatched episodes, and the entire season 1 of "30 Rock" all unwatched) when I try to sync my Apple TV, no TV shows are copied over.
In iTunes, I have tried many times to sync using both the "Automatic Sync" and the "Custom Sync" settings, and various settings listed under "TV Shows" tab, e.g. Sync "all", "all unwatched", etc. for "all TV shows", and "Selected TV shows". In every case when I sync, the status bar says: Syncing "Apple TV", for about 15 seconds, then the synch ends with no episodes are copied.
My version of iTunes is 8.0, Apple TV software version is 2.2.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

* As far as I know I've never changed this field. How was this working before?
Yes this is how it worked before, you may have inadvertently changed this setting (see below-checking/unchecking all) or it might have just happened due to an update or some other glitch for some unknown reason.
* Do I have to check every file manually after downloading?
* Can I automatically check them all?
If you hold down the CMD key while you check/uncheck a single item the instruction will apply to all content in that window. So to check all music for example, make sure all your music is in the window when you CMD-click the check box, not just a playlist or album for example.

Recording tv shows purchased on iTunes to DVD

How do I record tv shows purchased on iTunes to DVD?

You can, but only to a data DVD for backup and transport; the content on such DVDs can't be played outside of iTunes. Creating a data DVD is done by treating the video files as if they were any other file.

A song I purchased on iTunes has dropped out from my iPhone - but it still shows purchased in iTunes...but it won't let me download it again.

Any ideas?

Oh my gosh I had the EXACT same problem, and for ages I couldn't figure out how to fix it until today. Here's what I did:
First I went onto my computer, opened itunes, and un-installed tumblr, vine and kik. These were the apps I was having problems with (it said I had them on my phone but, like you, they didn't show).
Then I went to the itunes store, searched for each one, and it said I could update them so I did (just FYI: for tumblr a window popped up saying "please click ok to confirm you are 17 years or older", so I did that also)
When I went back to my phone and tried installing them again (still on my computer), it worked!
I hope this helps, because it was incredibly frustrating. Good luck!

For those of you with a Windows computer and the iOS device is not syncing or showing up in iTunes. here is a known solution that has been working for tech support!

I know this seems to be an emerging issue ever since the update to iTunes 11.1.4, some iPhones or other iOS devices are not showing up in iTunes or syncing. I'm not sure if Apple really knowns of this issue, but tech support has a (mostly) sure fire way of resolcing this issue. It's only for Windows computers though.
Go to the article http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1538 and follow the Section 5 Verify Apple Mobile Device USB driver is installed. When you clik on that section, go to your version of Windows (it seems to be happening mostly across Windows 8) . And then to the section: If Apple iPod, Aple iPhone, or Apple iPad is listed.
The gist of what you need to do:
Windows 8 (since it seems to be the most affected) move your cursor to the upper ight corner of your screen) and click on the Magnifying glass. Type in devmgmt.msc and this should bring up the Device Manager. Onc eyou are in the device manager, look for the "Portable device" or "Universial Serial bus Controller" list, and you should see the "Apple iPhone/iPad/iPod" listed. Onc eyou see it, right click it, choose "Update software driver." Now, IT WILL SAY THE DRIVER IS UPDATED. I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH. Select "Browse my computer for driver software." Onc eyou choose that, select "Let me pick from a lsit of drivers on my computer." You should see the option "Have Disk." Choose that. Again, I KNOW you do not have a physical disk, but the file we need is already on your computer. After Hard Disk, choose Browse again. Follow this file path to the file we need: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers.. In the Driver's folder, you should see the "usbaaple" or "usbappl64" (if you have the 64 bit for Windows). Double click on that file, and hit OK. The file should install, and once it's finished check your iTunes!!! You may want to unplug your device and plug it back it before doing all of this. I REALLY hope this works for you all as well!

How can I change my file extension from m4p to something else? I have had no success being able to play or burn my purchased music. I keep getting error 2122. If I can change the format I should be able to move it to another player or at least burn it in Nero. Thanks.

Some shows purchased from itunes do not show on Apple TV

I've downloaded and purchased via iTunes a few kids tv shows. These shows do not show up on my apple Tv. They are marked to sync in iTunes etc, but they still do not appear in Apple TV. any ideas?

ok, here's an update as to the problems i was having. This had nothing to do with the software update. I figured out that when i unplug my iphone before my pc is ready to disconect it, I get an error... something to the effect of Apple mobile manager blah blah blah. If I reboot my computer I am able to sync. So, I guess the solution is to make sure my iphone is ready to disconnect before I actually disconnect it. Funny how that messes up the sync of the ATV. thanks winston for the insight.

I am trying to download previously purchased music from iTunes, it show "purchased" in iTunes Store but does not show up under previous purchase tab

There are several albums that I've previously purchased that somehow were deleted from my computer & iPad. When I go to download available purchases on PC it say that all available punches have been downloaded. When I check iTunes Store it show as "purchased". When I try to check & download from iCloud via either iPad or PC these items do not show up under items purchased.
I can't even re-purchase the item, which I've tried since it shows as purchased in iTunes Store. This is very troublesome because there is no way for me to access these previous purchases. I have been using iTunes & various Apple products with the iTunes Store for several years & there is a lot of money invested in these previous purchases, that there is no way for me to access. As mentioned, I'd even be willing to re-purchase some of these items (though this should be unnecessary). But, the iTunes Store won't let me, because the items show up as purchased in store, but not on any of my devices!!!
Help!

Hey innerev2003,
Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
If, while searching through your past purchases, items are unavailable to download and show a "Purchased" button, they are still on your computer. It may be best to search your iTunes library by clicking Music, then use the search bar at the top right.
If you are completely sure the items are no longer in your library, try signing out of the iTunes Store, and then back in.

Apple TV not syncing TV shows after updating iTunes

Hope someone can help!
I upgraded to the new iTunes version. Everything seemed to work fine - movies and music appeared. When I tried TV shows, nothing appeared. I checked my computer and saw that everything had been moved to the iCloud EXCEPT for the latest season of any TV show! For example, Glee Seasons 1-4 showed up but Season 5 did not. Nothing synced with Apple TV unless I downloaded it. Again, movies and photos are fine. Even movies that are not downloaded are showing up in iTunes but TV shows are not.
I restarted Apple TV with no effect. I de-linked and then re-synced my library but this did not change the problem.
I checked the settings and the box "Show only synced items on my Apple TV" is NOT checked but that is exactly what is happening.
Any thoughts?
Thank you,
Elizabeth Sullivan

I solved the issue - I had to go to Apple TV, settings, computer, and connect to my iTunes library. Even though my Apple TV had previously had been connected to my iTunes library and was visible on the Apple TV, it was now "greyed out". I had to select my library again and it immediately showed up in iTunes and I had to confirm with the code that appeared on the Apple TV. It did erase the content on my Apple TV and it will take time to re-sync, but it was immediately able to stream content from my computer. This set up is pretty much the same way I set it up in the first place. All is well....

TV shows purchased on iTunes not showing up on iPhone

I have an iPhone 3G. When I try to sync TV shows to it -- shows I've paid for, using iTunes -- it looks like they're transferring to the iPhone, but they don't show up on it.
I've tried renaming them, reclassifying them as movies, deleting and retrying, but nothing works. It used to work and suddenly stopped after one of the updates (I forget which one).
Suggestions?

All video content is copy protected. The copy protection only allows you to burn a data disc for backup purposes only. This is required by the copyright holders for video content, not Apple.

IPod Classic not syncing or showing up in iTunes

My iPod Classic 160gb went on the fritz recently. It doesn't show any of the music and won't show up in iTunes when I plug it into my computer. I tried to reset it by hodlding down menu and select until seeing the Apple, but nothing changes. I then tried to go through disk mode, which I'm able to do on the iPod, but it still does not show up in iTunes. It does show up on my desktop though. I'm stumped. Any ideas???

If it shows up in the Finder as an externally mounted drive, try doing a low level reformat of the iPod's hard disk. This has corrected this same issue for a handful of other users recently.

Can't get through one TV show purchased on iTunes without Homeshare timing out

My Apple TV is up to date, as well as my imac. Netflix is working pretty well now but it really bugs me that I can't get through a whole TV show that I purchased on iTunes without the Homeshare timing out. If I go to watch on my computer, it works fine. This is somthing between my computer and my Apple TV which is especially maddening because it all Apple! I have spent a lot of time on this and I am not a techie. very maddening - about to throw the darn thing in the trash!

It is likely an issue with your local network.

How to get iShuffle mp3s to sync or show up in iTunes in W2K?

Am using an iShuffle with Windows2000. The latest version of iTunes that will install is v7.2. v8 or higher insists I need a newer service pack, although I already have service pack 4 installed which is the newest version.
1. How do I access support 'express' if I dont know my serial number? The iShuffle does not have a serial number written on it as the online helps says it should. I have no idea where my original receipt or package went from years ago. There really should be an option to continue to support without a serial number.
2. How do I get music already on an iShuffle to show up in iTunes? iTunes says it cant find the playlist associated with the iShuffle and the only option it presents is to erase the iShuffle and start over, which is stupid.
3. Alternatively, how do I get music onto the iShuffle that already has music on it but there is no playlist? How do I make a playlist out of the music that is already on the iSHuffle?
I dont see the point in the playlist- why cant I just drag and drop mp3s onto the iShuffle, preferably without iTunes?

How do you NOT sync Apple TV purchases to iTunes?

This question is on behalf of my parents who have Apple TV - which i bought for them and i have become their tech support on 24 hour call ><
Background: My parents share the same account. Dad uses the PC computer with iTunes where my mother only uses Apple TV.
She purchases TV shows, Movies, Rentals, whatever all the time and my father was asking how to turn off the syncing so iTunes doesn't get filled up with all her purchases.
Dad has an iPad and Mum has an iPad. Both have iPhones as well. Everything on the one account. Mum watches TV shows on her iPad as well...but rarely syncs with PC computer. He said some of the purchases download, where others don't? And he is worried about mum's purchases filling up his computer memory!
So his question is: how do you STOP them syncing/downloading?
I've searched & googled but can only find questions from people asking how to sync...not the other way around.
Any ideas?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
iTunes> preferences> store, make sure that the option to "always check for available downloads" is off.
