How can I sync a tv show without having to sync the whole library from a different computer?(For 5th generation ipod)

So I have a 5th generation nano, and I want to put a tv show on it from my friends computer. (I'm able to put songs on my ipod) But everytime I drag it to my library it says: it was not copied because you are not autorized on this computer.
so when i try to do it manually it says I can do it but i have to erase everything I have and sync whats on her computer to my ipod. How can I just get this **** tv show onto my ipod??? is there a way?

Is this a TV show you purchased with your own iTunes account or your friend iTunes store account? If it was your own account, simply authorize your purchased content on your friend's computer. To do this, head to the Store drop down menu in iTunes and choose Authorize This Computer. Then enter in your iTunes store credentials and then try resyncing the TV Show to your iPod.

How can I sync the address book from Mail to my Address book?

It is using the same database on disk. You may have to re-launch Mail.

HT1296 I can't sync the whole playlist from my computer to my iPod touch. Songs which don't sync have a dotted circle in front of the title?

I can't sync the complete playlist from my PC to my iPos touch. Songs which don't transfer have a dotted grey circle in front of the title?

Hey, I had the exact same problem with my transferring a new album my friend bought on my Mac, to my iphone... It took me two days to figure it out, but it could be either of 2 things:
1. You don't have the "manually manage music and videos" box checked. If you check it, then try to click and drag it over to your music on your device, it should then sync (on iTunes 11) This was my problem, and I checked that box, and it transferred and downloaded instantly
2. You don't have enough memory space on your device to put the playlist on. This was the problem for a lot of other people, not me, but they said it worked once they cleared some space on their device.
Hopes this helps!

I can't sync apps to my iPad. They tell me to authorize my computer. But, I have already done that. A relative of mine downloaded apps to my iPad from her Apple ID. So how can I sync the iTunes apps from my PC to my iPad?

I had gotten this iPad 2 from one of my relatives who had already purchased some apps using her Apple ID, after I got the iPad, I downloaded some apps from iTunes on PC through my own Apple ID, when I try to sync them to my iPad, they tell me to authorize my computer, but I've already done that. So, how can I sync my apps to my iPad? (By the way, I don't know anything about the Apple ID of my relative).

delete/uninstall the apps that your relative downloaded on you iPad. to do that tap and hold on and icon til it shakes, once its shaking downloaded apps will havee (X) mark on them on a red bubble, tap on it to delete

What the h*** happened to Live Updating of smart playlists in iT 11? I have several smart lists that pull from larger lists based on how recently a song has played. Not happening now. The whole library only updates "last played"

What the h*** happened to Live Updating of smart playlists in iT 11? I have several smart lists that pull from larger lists based on how recently a song has played. Not happening now. The whole library only updates "last played" for about 1 in 20 songs. This is really screwing up my lists that I use as backgrounds for a lot of activities in my classroom at school.

FYI, I've found that Live Updating can SORT OF work. It seems if you only have two rules, live upating works (IE, I have one that is a Rating must be 3-5*'s and last played cannot be within the last 8 weeks). Once the song is played it disapears off the playlist. BUT, as soon as I try to add a third rule, it doesn't work anymore! This is unfortunate because two rules really limits the ability of the playlist...
Cheers,

HT201272 I downloaded a TV show directly to my IPAD, how can I download that TV show to other devices on the same account without paying twice?

Title says it all...
I downloaded a TV show directly to my IPAD, how can I download that TV show to other devices on the same account without paying twice?

Whether you can re-download them for free depends upon what country that you are in - tv shows can't be re-downloaded in all countries. If they show in the Purchased tab in the iTunes app on your other devices, or the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes then you can re-download them. Otherwise you can copy them from your iPad to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases and then sync them to your other devices.

HT1386 The laptop I originally synch'd my iphone 4s with is broken and cannot retrieve any files. How can I sync the phone with a new laptop without losing all my downloaded music and apps already installed on my iphone?

If the answer to the above question is "yes", FIRST, set up a backup of your new computer before you do anything else so the next time your computer breaks you will not be in the same situation. Backup solutions are numerous and inexpensive, and there is absolutely no excuse in the Third Millennium not to have one.

HT1719 My itunes doesn't list "devices" above the playlist. How can I sync the music I have purchased to my new ipod shuffle if it doesn't give me the option? The shuffle is plugged into my computer, but nothing happens. Help please!

My itunes account doesn't list "devices" above the playlist, as the syncing instructions give. How can I sync the itunes I have purchased & downloaded to my computer, to my ipod shuffle? The device is plugged into my computer, but nothing happens. Shouldn't the computer recognize the device? It doesn't. Please help!

As a test, shut down your computer and disconnect ALL USB devices. Do this procedure to Reset the shuffle
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1655
Start up computer with nothing connected, except for standard keyboard and mouse (if it's not a laptop). Run iTunes. Connect shuffle to a direct USB port on the computer. See if there's any improvement,
If the shuffle is now recognized, there may have been a USB device conflict previously, or maybe all of the devices connected at the same time overloads the USB bus (for power). An iPod charges its battery while connected, so it is a high-power USB device.
