How I got my selfripped TV shows to sync to ipod in iTunes7

I have just got myself a 30GB video iPod, itunes 7 and EyeTV. Everytime EyeTV or any program created ipod video content it would come catogrised as a movie in iTunes and would come up in the movies sync list on the ipod fine. But if I changed the type to "TV Show" then it would not come up in the TV shows list on the ipod. This has been bothering me for the last few days but I finally worked out whats going on.
For some reason, you need to go into the id3 tag and tag an artist name to the tv show! no ideas why you dont need to do this with movies, but you do with tv, it must be a bug. The standard id3 tagging pane is setup for music, and doesnt really work for video, but for some reason, TV content needs the artist tag filled in.
Hope this helps somebody!

Welcome to the Apple Community.
I've seen posts that say they download automatically (ensure that automatic downloads are enabled in the store section of the iTunes preferences), otherwise check in the new purchased section in iTunes.

  • TS1424 i have downloaded audiobook but is not showing up on my ipod to access.  how can I get it to show up on the ipod and access it?

    I downloaded an audio book and it shows in my library but is not on my ipod to access.  What do I do?

    If you downloaded it directly on your iPod then it should be in the Music app (or iPod app if it's an iPod on iOS 4 or below) - when there are audiobooks on the device you should get an Audiobooks option in the Music app. If you downloaded it on your computer then you will need to sync it to you iPod via the Books tab, in a similar way to how you use the Music tab to sync music (audiobooks are currently a one-time only download so you won't be able to re-download it on your iPod).

  • How do I transfer new TV Shows to my new IPod?

    I recently purchased the latest 80gb iPOd and have the latest software loaded on it - version 1.2.1. I just purchased Martin, Season 2 from the iTunes store. Unfortunately when I try to move the tv show into my iPod it says it will not transfer the shows because the shows are "not supported". What can I do? Why doesnt this work?

    Any help here?
    iPod does not play content purchased from the iTMS.

  • How do you select music (check mark) to sync on iPod with iTunes 11.0.4.4?

    On previous versions of iTunes it was easy to select songs, albums and/or play lists.  How do you do this on the newest version?

    The same way you select media and apps in any other version of iTunes to sync.
    Either check the songs in question or with the device connected go to the Music/App/Movies/Podcast tab and select the specific content to sync.

  • How do you tell which computer you origionally sync the ipod touch with?

    I went to do the 2.0 update for ipod touch but it says make sure you have the ipod connected with the computer you sync with. I sync with both my mac and laptop but I think they mean the origional one you started with. How do you tell which one?

    Make it the one. You have the power!
    What they want is to make sure you are not doing this somewhere that you may lose the ability to connect the iPod (work, friend's house, internet cafe, library) because there is a file that will be downloaded to the computer, and if you need to restore at some point, iTunes will need that file.

  • How do I turn HD settings off to sync to ipod nano?

    I have a 5th Generation iPod nano, and I recently purchased an episode of "Doctor Who", but apparently it won't sync to my ipod. I begin to figure its the HD setting and I have tried to turn it off using the playback option in prefences and set it to Standard Mode, but it still won't let me sync it?
    Please help?

    To turn it completely off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider.
    Regards.

  • Got a new macbook, when i sync my iPod, will it erase all my songs

    So will it erase all my songs when i sync it to my new macbook?

    Yes.  An iPod is designed to only sync with one iTunes library/computer at a time.  If you try to sync it with a new computer/iTunes library it will erase what is currently on the iPod and replace it whatever is in the new library empty or not.
    So what'll you want to do is copy all of your content on your iPod to your new Macbook Pro and into iTunes.  You can transfer purchases from the iPod to iTunes via File -> Transfer purchases.  For music outside of iTunes you'll need the help of some sort of third party program such as Senuti to help you get the job done.

  • My iTunes doesn't have  all the music that my iPod has. But when i sync my iPod it doesn' t put my music back onto my computer, how do i fix this?

    So, I looked at my iTunes library and realized that i had a rather small amount of music on it, while i have a rather large amount of music on my iPod. I don't know where all my music went on my computer, and I have no clue how it isn't there. When I sync my iPod it doesn't transfer my music back or even give me the, "We found some music on your iPod that is no longer in your library, would you like to transfer these songs?"
    I don't really know what to do, andy advice?

    Never mind, the problem just fixed itself when i searched for an artist that wasn't there. That was odd.

  • How do I stop duplicating contacts when I sync with gmail

    How do I stop duplicating contacts when I sync my IPod Touch with Gmail?

    I don't know if this helps much, but Address Book was basically the same application in a previous version of the Mac OS. Folks still seem to use the terms interchangably though. Similarly, Calendar used to be "iCal."
    I believe syncing contacts with Google or iCloud is an either/or proposition - you can't do both. When you sync with either, a copy is saved to your Mac for faster access (like a web browser's cache). I believe there's still an option to save contacts exclusively to your Mac (HD), but I don't think it's either preferred or occurs by default if you have an account such as Gmail/google or iCloud already set up.
    I've never played with preferences in Contacts (Address Book), but I do have both google and iCloud accounts associated with my Mac. Under System Preferences:Mail, Contacts & Calendars, you can specify what accounts do on your Mac. If you have multiple accounts set up, a list will appear on the left side. As you select each one, a list of check boxes appear to the right for each service you want to associate with that account. For example, I have an iCloud account for mail, calendars, contacts, and Safari (among others). I have a Gmail account for mail, although it gives me the option of using this account for calendars, etc. For Gmail, the only item I have checked is mail. It's never asked me if I wanted to sync my addresses with Google.
    I hope this helps... at least a little. If nothing else, I hope I've solved the "Address Book" mystery ;-)

  • I have songs on my iPhone 6 that I can't remove and when I plug into iTunes and go to "Summary" and "On This Device" the songs don't show up but they are on my phone. How do I remove them? Not even sure how they got on actually.

    I have songs on my iPhone 6 that I can't remove and when I plug into iTunes and go to "Summary" and "On This Device" the songs don't show up but they are on my phone. How do I remove them? Not even sure how they got on actually since I have a iTouch and keep all my music there. HELP!!

    Have you tried deleting the songs from Settings?
    Settings -> General -> Usage -> Manage Storage (not the iCloud link!) -> Music and then click Edit to enable you to be able to delete.

  • How do I delete photos from my daughter's ipod that showed up on there when she got music from her aunt's itunes? Also how do I make sure none of my iphone pics show up on her ipod in the future (we use the same itunes account and I think same icloud).

    I'm totally new to iphone/ipod.  I need help with the following:
    1) How do I get rid of a folder of photos that showed up on my daughter's ipod touch when she received some songs from her aunt's itunes?  After she got some songs from that itunes a folder of pictures showed up with no delete option.  Does she need to reconnect to that itunes/computer and if so what do we need to do to remove this folder of pics from her ipod?
    2) Also, my daughter uses same itunes as myself, how do I make sure any pics I have on my iphone & icloud (itunes) don't show up on her ipod? I shut off my photostream so perhaps this is the solution.  But I noticed that a message I sent from her ipod to my sister (an iphone user) later showed up on my iphone (as if I had sent it from my iphone)! That was really odd. I'd like to keep our itunes account together simply so I can monitor her downloads, etc so I don't want to open up her own itunes to avoid automatic syncing.
    I only want to share music between our devices.  I don't want her pics nor my pics to go to icloud/itunes.
    Thank you!

    1) You asked "Does she need to reconnect to that itunes/computer and if so what do we need to do to remove this folder of pics from her ipod?" Yes, you have to connect the iPod to that computer and go to the Photos pane for the iPod in iTunes and uncheck sync photos and the click on synce/apply. In the future do not check sync photos.

    2)
    Create a NEW account for using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before.

  • HT4650 In Finder, Desktop, it shows a zillion photos ...jpgs.. all greyed out.  I have no idea how they got there and they have been a nuisance since I cannot seem to get them off.  Tried dragging them to the trash, didn't help.

    In Finder,  Desktop,  a zillion photos show .  I have no idea how they got to the desktop but have not been able to get rid of them.  They are listed as greyed out.  ON the Desktop I tried dragging them to the Trash.  If I try to empty trash, 'some of the items you are moving are in use by another application. etc.."  and now,  another, Copy   "Preparing to undo "move to Trash".

    Try an All Images Search:
    In the Finder:
    Command - f
    Kind: Images
    Size: Greater than 300kb (This is to avoid all the thumbnails, icons and so on.)
    Set it to search the Mac.
    As to why? The most likely answer is user error, I'm afriad. It does point up the importantce of always having a back up.
