Can't sync TV shows & podcasts onto iPad2

I'm wondering if I have a bug in iTunes or on the iPad?
All I can tell you is that the TV shows and podcasts that I had purchased directly onto the ipad, were transferred (as expected) onto my laptop, but WILL NOT transfer back. I get no error message, no warning, nothing. I select "Manually manage music and videos". I check the boxes for ALL books, podcasts, TV shows, movies (I have experimented with just selecting a handful, but get the same results). The capacity bar shows it'll use up to 34 gigs of the 60 gig iPad. Then I sync, and instantly the capacity bar shows that only 24 gigs are used, and when I look at the iPad none of the podcasts or tv shows are there. None of these shows are HD. All were purchased on iTunes, on the iPad (which is the main reason I bought it!). And for some reason the movies are not having this issue.
In the past week I just upgraded my Macbook Pro to OS 10.6.8, my iTunes to 10.5.3, my iPad to iOS5. I connect the two with USB. I don't use iCloud (since I'm not ready to go to Lion).
I really regret syncing everything onto the computer! But I figured it was the smart step so that eventually we can control how the memory is taken up on the iPad.

There are no such limits. Are you sure your iPod settings are correctly set to sync the shows. I'm guessing its probably set to sync unwatched episodes.

  • In iTunes I can't drag and drop podcasts onto my iPod anymore.

    In iTunes I can't drag and drop podcasts onto my iPod anymore. I can still drag and drop songs onto my iPod and I can still drag and drop podcasts into other playlists. I've tried restarting my computer and my iPod and I've also checked for software updates for the iPod and iTunes. Help?

    Update: I seem to have fixed the problem!  I went to the "summary" section of my iPod after clicking on the device on the left side of iTunes.  I checked the box that allowed me to "manually manage music and videos" and applied this option.  The songs are syncing!  And, yay, they're playing on my iPod now!  Hopefully, this helps anyone else who might have this problem.  There might be other issues, but this is working for now.

  • Can I load photos from iMac onto iPad2 model A1395?

    Can I load photos from iMac onto iPad2 model A1395?  The model A1395 is described as "wi-fi only" and has a 30 pin connector for charging.
    [By contrast, this is NOT the iPad2 model A1396, which is described as "Wi-Fi/GMS/GPS AT&T" or the Model A1397, which is described as "Wi-Fi/CDMA/GPS Verizon". Nor is it the model A1337, described as "Wi-Fi/3G/GPS (Original)".]
    Wi-Fi only seems to me to have an ominous ring to it.  I am synching with my iPhone through the iCloud, if that is of any use.
    In addition, I should note that the photo files I want to look at in the iPad are large files, a little over 100 MB in JPEG format.  The desire is to display the whole image (these are archival photos of heirloom quilts) and then be able to focus in on specific details (by enlrging them so that the stitching and other details can be seen).  I mention this because I tthink there may be some 30 MB limit on the size of a file that the iPAD can handle.  Would I be able to examine a larger file (but perhaps npot as large as 100 MB) if I had 64 MB memory in the iPad?

    WiFi only refers to the fact that the iPad connects to the Internet via WiFi because it does not have cellular capability. That has nothing to do with the ability to put photos on the device.
    Sync the photos from the Mac via iTunes.
    Connect the iPad to the Mac and launch iTunes.
    Click on the iPad name on the left side under devices.
    Click on the Photos Tab on the right.
    Select the folder from which your photos are located in the Sync Photos From Heading. If you use iPhoto - select that or navigate to the specific photos folder on the Mac.
    If you use iPhoto, select all of the albums, or events that you want to sync. If you use another photos folder, you can select one level of sub folders within that main folder.
    Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes
    Having 64GB of storage also has nothing to do with the ability to view the photos on the iPad since that refers to storage capacity. However, the larger the storage capacity, the more photos the iPad will be able to hold.
    I know of no limit on the size that a photo needs to be in order to be viewable on the iPad.
    If you use iCloud, you can sync photos that you shoot on the iPd and iPhone across devices via Photo Stream, but it just be turned on for this to work. Settings>iCloud>Photo Stream on. Any photos that you take on one device after photo stream is turned on, will sync to the other device.

    I am using the same apple I'd for my iPhone4 and ipad2 and  I have ON all the settings which I need to sync. How can I sync my iPhone 4s with ipad2 via iCloud ?

    Without more details about what does not work, that's about the best "solution" you are going to get.

  • 5th Gen 80gb iPod wont sync tv shows/podcasts

    Hey I have looked at most of the solutions on how to sync tv shows and podcasts and I assure you that all of the necesary boxes are checked and the settings are correct. I bought this as a refurb and do not have a warranty. Can anyone help me figure out how to put the season of the office i bought from itunes onto my ipod? i have newest version of itunes and tried to restore as well. Thank you!

    Hey there,
    Have you made sure you have set your iPod to sync TV Shows? To be sure, plug your iPod in and head over to the TV Shows tab once it appears and you have clicked on its device name in iTunes. Make sure there is a check mark next to Sync and then whatever settings you want for syncing tv shows to your iPod.
    [Syncing Videos to iPod|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1333]
    Otherwise, if you have already completed these steps, the videos may not be compatible with your iPod. You will have to use a third party app such as [Videora|http://www.videora.com/en-us/Converter/iPod> or [Handbrake|http://handbrake.fr>, to convert the videos to an iPod format, import the video into iTunes, and sync it to your iPod. I have used both of these apps with great success. Hope this helps.

  • Can't sync music from iTunes onto my new iPhone 4s

    I got a new iPhone 4s through work and already have 3 iPod touches at home that sync fine on our Win7 laptop with iTunes. When I plug my new phone into my home laptop and try to drag/drop the music over onto my iPhone icon, it just shows a circle with a slash through it and won't let me sync the music.
    No explanation is provided - just the "can't sync" icon. Really frustrating and not at all user friendly!
    Please help.
    Thanks,

  • Why can't I manually transfer podcasts onto ipod?

    I have an ipod classic, and I'm trying to move selected podcasts onto it by clicking and dragging.
    It looks like it should work, but nothing goes onto my ipod. If I add the podcasts to a playlist and then add the playlist, then I can get the podcasts to move onto the ipod, but does anyone know why I can't do it the normal way?
    I don't want to sync all my episodes as then I'll lose most of them because they're from another computer that died.

    This seems very similar (if not identical) to my issue:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=725691&tstart=0
    Has Apple removed the ability to manually select and delete individual Podcasts on your iPod via iTunes? And if so, why on earth would they do that? It can't be a "feature" can it?
    I don't want to have to delete Podcast episodes from my harddrive/iTunes library simply to delete them from my iPod; I maintain a large library of Podcasts, and I like to manually move them to the iPod when I feel like listening to them in the car or whatever, and deleting them later (from the iPod only, not from iTunes).
    I'm about ready to downgrade back to iTunes 6...

  • ITunes can't sync TV shows...

    I have a TV show which I'd like to transfer into my iPod (30gb video). The whole show is on MPEG-4 format which the iPod can read.
    I added all the show (about 76 episodes) and when I pressed "sync" only 4 of the episode has been transfered and I got this massage:
    "Some items in the iTunes library were not copied to the iPod because they cannot be played on this iPod"
    I retried it like 5 times and even that all of the episode are in the same format, I have enought spance in the iPod and all of then can be added to the iPod just 4 did.
    What is the problem and how can I add the show ?
    Thank you

    There are no such limits. Are you sure your iPod settings are correctly set to sync the shows. I'm guessing its probably set to sync unwatched episodes.

  • Can't sync music or podcasts after update to iOS4

    Just upgraded my iPhone 3G to iOS4. Since doing this, iTunes can no longer sync music or podcasts to the iPhone. Only the apps will sync. iTunes claims the files cannot be found - despite the fact that they are all listed correctly in iTunes and all play fine if I double-click on them in iTunes. I've done a complete reset of the iPhone and configured it from scratch and the problem remains. I'm at a total loss as to what to do. Everything worked fine before the update. The only possible oddity in my set-up is that the music files in iTunes are stored on another Mac in the house, mounted as a shared drive - but this hasn't caused any issues previously.
    All my computers are Macs running 10.6.4 and all latest updates. Help!!

    Problem solved itself - eventually. Solution was to reboot the computer and reconnect to iTunes. When iPhone was connected to iTunes a message appeared which said that the iPhone restore had been previously interrupted and did I want to resume, restart or cancel. Ironically, whilst choosing resume and restart failed every time, by selecting cancel the system proceeded to correctly sync all the music. Go figure.

  • Can't sync TV Shows to my iPad (EU and US Account)

    I decided to buy some tv shows with my us itunes account, so i created a new user on my mac, because switching countries in the iTunes store stops iTunes Match but thats a different story... So now I moved the TV shows to my itunes library on my normal user account (which is a swiss itunes account), because thats the library that is synced with my iPad. But when i try to sync the shows iTunes asks me if i want to switch libraries...
    Why do i get this error? And how can i get the shows on my ipad?

    This is a known issue that happens all the time. You will probably just have to keep trying until it goes through.

  • Reinstalled Lion; Now I can't sync purchased shows to iPad

    I've been having issues with Lion locking up ever since it was released, so I finally got around to reinstalling it. Now when I try to sync purchased TV shows to my iPad it tells my it can not sync because my computer is not authorized for the content. Oddly I am able to sync *some* content purchased from the iTunes store.
    I have tried authorizing my computer as suggested in the error message to no avail. I also tried deauthorizing it and reauthorizing it but that also was of no help. I'm really at a loss here and realy frustrated. Anyone know what's going on or have any other suggestions to try?

    I have now also tried deauthorizing all computers associated with my account and reauthorizing my computer, but that did not help. I also tried syncing the show to my iPhone but received the same result.

  • Can't sync tv shows with ipod

    I am trying to sync TV shows I purchased and downloaded from iTunes with my ipod nano.  I select "Devices", "TV Shows", check "Sync TV Shows", then then check TV shows I want to sync, and select "sync".   The status bar indicates syncing, determines tracs to sync, and completes sync.  But no TV shows are on my iPod (checking under Video, TV Shows).  I've also tried to drag the shows from the library to a playlist.  They showup on the playlist on the computer, but not on the playlist on my iPod.  I am not having problems syncing music.  The TV shows are animated Bugs Bunny episodes.

    Holmanranch,
    Do you have the Sync only checked songs and videos option ticked from under your iPod's Summary tab as well?  If so, that could be a possible cause. 
    One thing you could try is to remove the tick mark next to Sync TV Shows and apply the changes to remove any and all TV Shows from your iPod.  Then reapply the tick mark and again sync the changes to your iPod and see if that makes a difference.
