Able to view Movies, but not TV shows on iPod Touch

The summary basically says it all, but I had a series of videos that I have synced successfully. Some were set to "Movies", and some were set to "TV Shows". I'm able to view the movies when I touch "Videos" at the bottom of the home screen, but I can't see the TV shows on that list.
This may be a really stupid question with an easy answer, but I can't figure it out.
PLEASE HELP! :S

So once you transfer the files there is nothing in the video folder after the sync. This could be a encoding issue. I use TV shows from my Tivo using Tivo to Go and they are tagged as TV shows and show up after a sync with the iPod.
Look into your encoder and the metta data set for the video files.

  • Why can I sync a movie but not TV shows on my nano (7th gen)?

    I am using iTunes 11.0 and can sync a movie (Miracle on 34th Street) to my new ipod nano 7th gen but when I try a TV Show (a Planet Earth HD episode) or even a brief video clip taken with my camara I am told that such an action is not permitted on this ipod.  So why can I sync a movie but not TV shows on my nano (7th gen)?  Thank you.

    Before you can sync video files, it must be converted into a format compatible with ipod.  If you can’t sync a video convert it by doing the following:
    In iTunes, select the video you want to convert. Do one of the following then sync again after:
    1) Choose File > Create New Version > Create iPod or iPhone Version.
    2) Choose File > Create New Version > Create iPad or Apple TV Version.
    I hope this works.

    I have hard reseted it, restored it to factory settings and tried changing the passwords

    If you have completed all Apple troubleshooting steps with no change, more than likely your iPhone has a hardware problem. call AppleCare or make an appointment at an Apple store if there is one nearby.

  • Used to be able to import MOV but not anymore !!!

    Hi there,
    I dont know whats going on but its really driving me nutts
    I used to be able to import the .mov from my HD Mini camcorder into my iMovie to edit my movies.
    But the last time i did this was 4 months ago.
    Between the last time and now I went through some updates of iMovie. Today i came back trying to use the same camera with new footage, and tried to import it into iMovie. I would act like it did but nothing would show up.
    Now i did a search on there and every one say convert to this and that.
    No i really dont want to do that, because i used to be able to import them, so i shouldn't do it differently because i imported over 100+ mov from that camera before.
    DID THEY BLOCK .MOV FILES NOW ? or whats the deal ?
    I also noticed the option to click on the little icon and have the little icon play the video disappeared.
    Now i have to double click on the MOVIE icon and launch Quick time to watch the files. It used to be able to play it in Icon format.

    Are you using a different version of iMovie from when you were able to import the .mov files?
    Are you importing the movies in the exact same way that you have in the past?
    Could you share with us how you are trying to import the .mov files...
    Ex. from the camera, or from media such as disk or thumbdrive, etc...

  • My Ipod touch shows up on mu computer but not in itunes, My Ipod touch shows up on mu computer but not in itunes

    I connect my Ipod Touch to my computer and it shows that it is there and connected everywhere but itunes. I keep getting a message stating
    Itunes Could not connect to the itunes store. An Unkown error occurred (-3212).
    please help me!

    Without knowing exactly what troubleshooting you've tried, if you are using a Windows based computer, try iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    Disable a/v software and turn off the Firewall.. see if that helps.

  • Expired movie rentals not deleted from my iPod Touch

    I have rented 3 movies during the last month. Transferred from iTunes to my iPod Touch to watch on my TV. After 24 hours of watching these movies, they expired. However, they are still there in my iPod, inaccessible but still there. When I turn on my iPod I can see them in my list of rentals for about one second, then they disappear from view. Also, when my iPod is connected to my Mac, in iTunes, under Devices > iPod, there is an entry for "rented movies" and the three movies are there, but all grayed out so I cannot delete them. Even if I cannot delete them from my iPod, I think they are taking up space, because the space occupied by Videos is much more than what I really have. How do I delete these expired rented movies from my iPod? I know they are supposed to be deleted automatically after expired, but not in my case. However, previous movie rentals have been deleted normally, this just started happening last month.

    I got a reply in another thread which solved the problem on my iPhone 3G. Here is the advice that worked for me:
    Tbo6652 posted "Re: Rental movie taking memory on i phone when is expired" in "Rental movie taking memory on i phone when is expired" on Dec 24, 2008 1:10:04 PM.
    click on the iphone icon in the left panel and go to summary, check manually manage movies and music, click the drop down arrow to the left of the iphone icon, click "Rented Movies"....delete the unwanted movies.

  • Video plays on iPhone 3G, but not iPhone 2G or iPod Touch 1st Gen

    Hi all,
    We're creating videos to be played on iPhones and iPod touch's. The videos are working fine on my iPhone 3Gs but won't play on my iPod touch 1st gen or a 2G iPhone. I've had a look and the supported video list is exactly the same on all iPhones and iPod touch's so I'm at a bit of a loss.
    The video in question is here if anyone fancies testing it themselves:

  • In trying to update itunes to version 10.7 I get messages that older versions of "Bonjour" and "Apple Software update" cannot be removed and so the update fails. Itunes works well on my old ipod nano but not on my new ipod touch? Any ideas

    Any ideas as to how I can update an older version of iTunes to at least version 10.7 given the problems I'm having with "bonjour" and the "software update"?

    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get aCode 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Apple Software Updateentries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    Next, select any Bonjour entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install using an iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) downloaded from the Apple Website:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Does it go through properly this time?

  • My iTouch will not show movies, but they are showing on my iTunes.  When I try and play them through my iTunes it freezes on me and does not work.

    My iTouch will not show movies, but they are showing on my iTunes.  When I try and play them through my iTunes it freezes on me and does not work.  This problem only occurs whenever I am using my netbook.  It doesn't happen when I use a different computer.  I tried uninstalling and reinstalling itunes and am not sure what else to do from here. 

    You may have transferred all your songs, but your iPad is seeing the library as a different entity.

  • HT3819 I have movies but no TV shows on my shared iTunes

    I can see movies from all passwords used for my iTunes. My family members share one computer. The Share is my user ID. I can watch my movies but no TV shows apear on my iPad. Since I only have this set up to watch a specific TV show it is been kind of  frusterating.
    iTunes won't let me edit the metadata so I have been downloading the episodes from the cloud and deleting them. Silly since I can watch them on my computer in the other room that is connected by wifi. Perhaps Apple likes sending out extra data?

    That means it is not fully downloaded so you are streaming it. Fully download it.

  • Hello I am having problems viewing areas of a pdf...it's a form fillable pdf that someone else has completed and saved..I'm able to view all but the areas that have been filled in.. any info would help

    Hello I am having problems viewing areas of a pdf...it's a form fillable pdf that someone else has completed and saved..I'm able to view all but the areas that have been filled in.. any info would help

    Hi Bob, I just tried your suggestion, but the interactive PDF is in spreads by default, no way to change the setting. When I choose to view by single page in Acrobat, it displays a single spread.
    When I choose to view by spreads, it displays 4 pages, two spreads. That's the topic of this whole discussion, I believe. I do own CS 6 at home, however my employer supplied me with CS 5.5. And I have very little, if any, influence on purchasing.
    So, I have no good way to make an interactive PDF (with differing recto/verso headers and footers), that is accessible and shows the correct header/footer. It's either single pages (with one header/footer), or recto/verso headers/footers but PDF only as a spread, as well as I can tell.
    Unless you know something else I can do...
    Best, Marilyn

    Are you simply unable to buy them?  What happens when you try?
