Can't load TV show on my video ipod

I just downloaded a TV show from itunes, but my video ipod says that it can't be played on it. what's going on.
....yes I'm sure it's a video ipod

I looked through it, but ONLY TV shows aren't playing, nor will the TV Shows playlist copy to my 5th gen video iPod. Everything else from the iTunes Store (including music videos that came with CDs) is playing.
thanks

  • Can't play TV shows on my video ipod. . .

    Only had this awhile. In iTunes, I have TV Shows under library, but I can't find TV shows anywhere on my iPod. I looked through prefs and I can find music videos. I've tried creating a playlist, but the only place I can play movies that I bought at iTunes store is on my computer.
    Any suggestions?
    thanks

  • I can't load tv shows from iTunes onto my iPod touch.  I can't purchase video (tv shows) on the phone, either.  Anyone know anything about that?

    I can't sync tv shows from iTunes to my iPod Touch (4th gen).  I can't purchase tv shows on the iPod, either.  Anyone know what the problem is?
    Thanks!

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Are you sure your computer is authorized for this? This is probably your issue.
    If you go to the "Advanced" tab on the top in iTunes, is there a "Deauthorize computer..." button or an "Authorize computer..." button? If there's an "authorize computer" link, then that is your issue. Authorize your computer, and you should be able to transfer iTMS purchased songs from iTunes to iPod.
    For details, see this Apple article:
    About iTMS authorization and deauthorization
    I hope this helps you,

  • Why is it taking so long to download a TV show to my Video iPod

    I recently purchased a video iPod and am downloading my first tv show. It's an hour long show and it's been downloanding for close to an hour. Should it take this long?

    Assuming you are downloading from itunes, yes it can, it really depends on several things, the network, your connection speed, your download speed. I have had it take close to two hours at times to download a tv show and at others only about 30 minutes.

  • How can i watch tv shows on my 30gig ipod?

    i sync tv shows into my ipod but my ipod doesn't have the option "tv shows" in the video. can anyone tell me wat im doing wrong or try telling me how to add the tv show option into my ipod?

    OK...if you're seeing Videos in your menu, then you should see TV Shows within that menu....if the shows have actually been synced. Do you sync automatically or manually? If automatic, you might need to check your sync settings. With iPod connected to iTunes, select the iPod in DEVICES and click on the Video (or TV Shows, can't remember which it is) tab at the top of the Summary window. Make sure you have it set to sync all.

  • Can I load two Apple Accounts on one iPod?

    We have two Apple products (MacPro and iMac 2.0) so we both have iTunes accounts. We share an iPod (Video 30GB 5th gen) and want to put things from both accounts onto the one iPod. Can we? and how???
    I know the short answer is to buy another iPod but is there any way to use more than one account to upload into the iPod?
    *also can one iPod be used on more than one computer for content? Now we share by our drop folders in the "Share" folder after we have authenticated the iMac iTunes for both our accounts. It works so far but it would be nice to know if we can use both computers to update the one iPod... are we the only ones with this situation?

    1. Yes. You can transfer content purchased from up to five iTunes store accounts onto a single iPod.
    2. Yes. See this article for instructions.

  • Problem: Can't see photos on TV with video IPod

    I'm having a *** of a time getting my photos on the iPod to show up on my TV. I have one of those cables with the white/yellow/red ends made by Griffin for the iPod. I have an amp with the three color plugs, and a VCR which has the same. I get the audio ok, but in no permutation do I get the photos. It's true my TV is 15 years old and has no color input receptacle, but when I connect my camcorder in the usual way I get audio and video. Just not with iPod.
    I have a newer TV in another room which has the three color inputs, and when I connect the iPod to that, I get no photos either.
    Am I missing some setting within the iPod that I should be using??

    They are the two options for TV signal on the iPod. To be honest, I don't know what they mean or how they relate to various television sets. My suggestion is to try both and see if either one works. NTSC is the one that works on both TV sets I've plugged my iPods into, one being a photo iPod, the other being a video iPod.

  • Can't put iTunes Store items on Video iPod

    Hi everyone... hopefully someone can help me out!
    I have a brand new Video iPod, a flat panel Mac G4 using Tiger 10.4.4, and iTunes 6.0.2.
    Every song and audiobook that I have purchased from the iTunes store will NOT go on my iPod. It keeps telling me that "some of the songs in the iTunes music library were not copied to the iPOD because your iPod software is too old." Ok, I know that's not the case because it's brand new, but I updated everything anyway.
    What I finally noticed is that the songs are locked. When I see them in my music folder on my hard drive, they have a little lock icon in the upper left corner of the music icon which, coincidentally, is in a M4P format. All the songs I have purchased, and the 3 audiobooks as well, are all like that- locked and M4P format (or MP4).
    Has anyone else experienced this problem and, if so, do you know how I can get this stuff on my iPod? Every question sent to Apple has been met with the same "solution" of either update it, restore it, restart it, etc. I've done all that. It appears to be something to do with the fact that these things are locked. Can I unlock them somehow??

    Yes and no... I am TRYING to use the latest update of the software, which is "iPod updater 2006-01-10." It says I am updated, so I tried to put my "purchased" music on my iPod and it still gives me the message that I am unable to add those songs because my iPod software is too old. So I went to restore it instead, and the updater software says I need to connect using the firewire. But when I use the firewire it doesn't recognize the iPod!
    I took the songs giving me trouble and put them on a CD. I imported the CD onto my laptop. From there I was able to restore the iPod, finally, and I was able to put those elusive "purchased" songs on the iPod, but when I connected it back to my main computer, I was back to square one. I needed to reconnect the iPod to my main computer because after the restore on the laptop I lost all my original songs, so I had to get the songs from the main computer. By doing that, I lost the "purchased" songs because iTunes wouldn't let me keep them AND add the my old songs back on because they are from different libraries! ARGH!
    Apparently I just need to take it in to be fixed because I've serioulsy tried everything. If there was a way to transfer the iTunes library from the main computer to the laptop, everything would probably work. Is that possible?

  • Can't upload TV Shows to new 30g iPod Video

    We just purchased the new iPod Video (30g) and in Windows XP, iTunes 7 all of the songs and music videos uploaded. However, none of the TV Shows uploaded.
    Any ideas?

    The only other thing I can think of is listing the past history:
    1. Had an iPod Mini before and older version of iTunes.
    2. Purchased the TV Shows before buying the new iPod Video
    3. Upgraded to iTunes 7 and then sync'd to new iPod.
    TV Shows missing on iPod
    Could the older iPod be the problem here? Are the shows flagged as not being available to upload to the new iPod?

  • I can't load a page or watch video without moving my mouse 33.1

    doing some retesting

    This is on a laptop with windows 7 and an Intel graphics card. I had to check something. I reset Firefox and hardware acceleration is on by default so I turned it off again and restarted Firefox. Same problem. What I have found unusual is that I either have to move my mouse or if I am typing on another tab the page or pages will continue to load. Some times it appears to be a video refresh issue, but other times it stops loading the page completely after a second or two. You can watch the green swirly( for lack of a better technical term) and if it stops it your page will no longer load. I can no longer run a data speed test without doing one of these two things or i will get an error that the test timed out.

  • Can't delete TV shows via my video app or setting app since 7.1 update.

    I've tried everything from rebooting and restarting iPad to see if I can delete TV shows I watched nothing is working. I can't be the only person with this problem since updating.

    If the TV shows have the cloud icon on them, they are not actually on the iPad. They are in iCloud available for download to your iPad. You can hide them in Settings>iTunes & App Store>Show All>Videos>Off.
    Is that what you are seeing?

  • Can't convert tv shows to use on ipod

    I have downloaded tv shows before and had no problem. I don't know if this has to do with the new update or not. But now I have tv shows that won't sync to my ipod. It says they cannot be played on it. I went thru troubleshooting: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1211 and I can get down to number 3. But 4 says to go to the "advanced" tab and click "Convert Selection for iPod" that option isn't available to me. So I don't know how to fix this. I can see the option, but it's not highlighted for me to use. And, I made sure that I had the tv show selected. I was able to do the test. When I do the test and go under the movies tab I can select the "create ipod or iphone version". But not under the tv shows.
    Any help would be much apprecited.
    Thanks

    If you got them from the iTunes Store, there is no need to convert them (and they can't be converted). If you purchased HD shows, you should have also received SD versions which you can load onto your iPod, so if you're doing manual synchronization (if your iPod is set to synchronize automatically, the SD version should automatically copy over), look for those versions. Sorry, I've never purchased an HD show so I don't know exactly how iTunes will differentiate between versions.
    Regards.

  • When an album has multiple artist how can you make them show up on an iPod Touch 4G? I can find an artist using the search function but they don't show up in the artist view on my iPod. iTunes shows them OK when you sort by artist.

    Tech support seemed to understand the question but had no answer. Why would an album with only one artist show the artist but an album with multiple artist not show any of them. The album art show various in iTunes. That makes sense but on my iPod I would expect to see all artists.

    Wish I did. I tried the group function but that didn't help in iTunes. The search function is the best I came up with. I can answer the question do you have susch and such artist. But I can't browse for an artist I don't remember exactly or have misspelled. Fortunately I don't think I've bought anything from iTunes that i already had. If you can't see an artist it's possible you think you don't have something you actually do have. Sorry, still hoping for a better work around or better yet a fix.

  • Can I load songs and photos into an Ipod Nano I have purchased as a gift?

    I have purchased an Ipod Nano 2GB as a gift for my 9 year old granddaughter for Xmas.
    Before sending it I'd like to load some songs & photos on it, from my own Ipod Library and computer.
    I'm concerned that doing this from my computer will only complicate things when they receive the Ipod and then install it on their own computer. The family is not real computer literate and the simpler the better.
    What advice does anyone have - best to leave the new Ipod untouched and empty and have the initial install with Itunes/Apple on the computer they will be using? (Windows XP as well)
    Thanks very much!

    Personally I think it would be best to leave it. To use an iPod on multiple computers it has to be set to manual update. If your granddaughter wanted to update her iPod automatically (which is the simplest way) whatever you put on would get erased as the songs and pictures wouldn't be on her computer. Why not send along an iTunes gift certificate with it so she can buy some songs she'd like? Also, point the family to this web page, there's lots of useful information for new users here: iPod Nano Fast Start: New User's Guide to iPod Nano
