IPhone 4s TV Shows getting erased after updating to iOS8.1

I've been transferring TV show episodes into my iPhone 4s for travelling matters and I've been doing it from iOS 6-7.
When iOS8 came out, I did not update my iPhone 4s due to rumors about battery consumption and all, but when the official iOS8.1 came out, I already updated and got the iTunes updated with its new red icon already. I'm using a Microsoft Windows 7 for the desktop.
Now, when I tried to access my TV Shows from the phone, it gave me a message that I should connect to a Wi-Fi network in order to play the videos, because I was new to iOS8.1, I thought it was just requiring for me to really connect because of a new feature, but that wasn't the case because when I got to a location where I have Wi-Fi connection, it still didn't play the video. I noticed that there is a circular "progressing" indicator showing at the top of the screen while trying to play the vids. Nothing seems to happen. I then connected the iPhone to the computer to check on the videos, surprisingly, I saw 4 videos inside my phone that has the caution symbol and it can't be played even with iTunes anymore.
What I did was to try and get that 4 videos back to my phone. It came back and by default it'll fall under "Movies" first before we can change its tagging and make it show under "TV Shows". I did a lot of troubleshooting but it seems like the video stays "alive" in the Movies, but will "die" when it reaches TV Shows.
Any idea on what's happening? I guess there are some of you who's encountering the same thing, too. Please share.
Thank you!

This has now happened to me twice on my 64G Touch in the couple of weeks I've had it.
All songs and video "disappear", although the space is still taken up.
If I deselect the music and video and then sync, I regain the space back. Then, I can re-select the music and videos and re-sync and things are back.
This happened both with 9.0 and 9.0.1.
I'm running Vista 64-bit, and IIRC, I downloaded the 64-bit version of iTunes 9.0, although it isn't clear to me if that was retained when the auto-update updated me to 9.0.1.
This time, I noticed the issue right after syncing. Earlier tonight I'm pretty sure I noticed the content was there. I purchased a few games on the Touch earlier in the day. I played a few games, then purchased a new TV show via iTunes and then synced.
After the sync, the content was gone.
I've been able to buy applications both via iTunes and via the Touch and sync without issue. Seems like trying to sync the new TV show might have triggered it. Or maybe it's just random.

  • IPhone 3GS not showed in iTunes after update to Version 4.0

    Hi,
    I just made an firmware update using iTunes to my 3GS.
    The installation went well, and the iPhone is working great.
    But the problem is that iTunes is not displaying the iPhone anymore.
    I already tried everything listed on the Apple support page, but nothing will help.
    iTunes is also the latest version (9.2).
    Windows is still recognizing the iPhone, the erroe is just in iTunes.
    When i connect the 3GS iTunes freezes completely for about 1 minute. Then iTunes runs again, but not showing the 3GS.
    I already searched several forums but couldn't find a solution.
    Can anyone help me please?
    Because the iPhone without iTunes is worthless for me...
    Thanks in advance!!!

    Same issue here, tried all the recommended solutions, but no change: Iphone shows in Windows, but Itunes does not recognize... (same issue on 2 different computers, phone itself is OK, it shows on other computers, just not on mine...)

  • I'm stuck at the set up as new iPhone or from back up screen after updating to iOS8. How can I fix this?

    It's updated but I can't get rid of the set up as new phone or from a previous back up screen.

    Are you using the same Apple ID and password that has been used to set up the phone for the very first time?

  • I recently backed up my iphone to itunes, when after backing up a message showed that I needed to update my iphone. I clicked ok, and after updating, it said I had to restore my phone to its factory settings. I cannot find where it backed up pictures

    I recently backed up my iphone to itunes, when after backing up a message showed that I needed to update my iphone. I clicked ok, and after updating, it said I had to restore my phone to its factory settings. I cannot find where it backed up all of my pictures from my phone.

    If you backed up the device, all the data is in the backup. Restore the backup.
    A better question is why would an intelligent person not copy the pictures from the device to the computer regularly, especially before attempting an update, as the device is designed to be used?

  • I wanted to know if iphone 3gs gets slow after updating to ios5?

    I wanted to know if iphone 3gs gets slow after updating to ios5?..and what features are missing for 3gs

    I have iphone3gs just upgraded to iOS5 just now.
    So far i am not experiencing any slow down because of the new iOS.. Rather i feel like its slightly faster than the previous version (4.3.5)..
    One of the first thing i want to try was the location based reminders.. After upgrade i coudn't find the option, and went trough the user manual to find out that it is not available for 3gs..:(

  • Hi there, I have installed iTune on my new Toshiba laptop which runs on Win 8.  I can update itune on Toshiba laptop, sync but the iphone Apps still showing app to be updated.  Restarted both Itune

    Hi there, I have installed iTune on my new Toshiba laptop which runs on Win 8.  I can update itune on Toshiba laptop, sync but the iphone Apps still showing app to be updated.  Restarted both Itune and iphone....reset phone backup....to no avail.....HELP!

    I have removed now all bloatware from laptop, CCleaner run and some more stuff: installed Libre Office, Free Avast, Mozilla Firefox - Spotify was preinstalled. And now this is even better - really simple and fast.
    I also removed Ethernet completely, as I don't want to be locked at one place. It's not cool to use laptop on divan sofa. So tired after hour of sitting in uncool position. Wifi speed loss is almost 50%. 95 Mbps I get from 100 Mbps at Ethernet and on Wifi in laptop I get at max 50 Mbps. It's only for end this year this way, then I will slow down my connection anyway as for one person and laptop/smartphone it's way too much of speed for 40 €. With 27€ I can get the same 10M/10M and it will be more than enough. Now I have 100M/10M.
    I'm also considering about 50M/10M option for 32.90 €, but I will see what I do. I download now test file 10GB and it loads 30-40 Mbps and sometimes even as fast as 50 Mbps. It depends on server also, but ebven on Google, which works on Ethernet at 95 Mbps, it is on Wifi nothing more than 51 Mbps.
    It's also 10GB of 1,100 Offlined tracks, I tested it now. So on trips 32GB card should be enough for my phone. I'm going to one soon :)

  • After updating to iOS8 my iPhone and iPads no longer autofill name and passwords

    After updating to iOS8 my iPhone and iPads no longer autofill name and passwords
    It worked fine in iOS7, it still works fine on an older iPhone 4 running 7 and an iPad Air also running 7. Also my Macs, an old MacPro 10.7.5 and a MacBook Air 10.9.5 work great, autofilling every time.
    This is what Safari settings look like:
    All the password info is still there under Saved Passwords.
    I have tried turning Names and passwords off and on but no luck
    What should I do?

    I can get autofill to work but it will only remember my last username and password used for the site rather then letting me start typing a username and then suggesting one and its password being automatically filled in if I hit space while the suggested username was showing or when i finished typing the username (how it worked in iOS 7). I'm having zero issues using iCloud keychain on my MacBook pro running Yosemite so I'm not sure if apple accidentally removed this functionality or if there is something I can do to get it back? I have keychain turned on as well as autofill passwords and when I go into the settings I can see all the accounts and passwords for this particular site so I know they're saved..very odd behavior. If no fix I'll just start adding them all to one password but this seems cumbersome considering safari has this feature built in.

  • Getting iWork apps back for free after updating to ios8

    After updating to ios8 I lost all of my iWork apps. Now I have to pay money to get them back. I got them for free after buying the iPad mini retina last year and do not understand why now I have to pay money to get those back. I looked at the purchased section in the apps store but they don't show up there even if I had those apps before my iOS 8 update. Can somebody help me out with this? And am I missing something?

  • "No SIM card installed in the iPhone you are attempting to activate" after updating to iOS 5. Living in Canada with Rogers service provider.

    Any solutions yet?
    "No SIM card installed in the iPhone you are attempting to activate" after updating to iOS 5.

    Its an IMEI issue.  In my case, about a year ago, after originally purchasing my iP4 from AT&T store, I had a prox. sensor issue.  Went to the Apple Store, they replaced the phone.  Here is where it all stems from.  The IMEI of the new phone was never updated in AT&T/Carriers systems.  For iOS updates prior to iOS5, this was not an issue.  My phone did its iOS updates along the way with no probs.  However, when I updated to iOS5, the firmware did not match the IMEI with what AT&T/carrier had.  When I went to Apple Store for the issue about 3 days ago and was given a new phone....again....the new phones IMEI was never updated with AT&T/carrier.  I then again attempted the upgrade to iOS5 with the new phone and iOS5 bricked that one also.  Today, at the store, we tried 3 replacements with same outcome.
    So, after 4 hours and 3 replacement phones with Apple Store Tech (BTW totally gobsmacked), we solved the issue.  Luckily, due to iPhone 4S launch, there was an AT&T guy there with a computer tied to the AT&T network to work along with us.  The issue is......once the IMEI's on carrier account and phone do not match, iOS5 shuts down the sim card reader within phone.....forever. How to reverse this?......this is a question Apple needs to come up with, because with my case, they have 5 "bricked" phones. 
    What solved the issue was to get a new phone with iOS4.3.5, new SIM from carrier/AT&T, have carrier/AT&T (in their system) change/match the IMEI to the new phone and activate new SIM.  Then, do iOS5 upgrade. 
    Simple and makes total sense..........however........there is an internal firmware (Apple Security??) issue that bricks the phone once IMEI's dont match. 
    I am now on iOS5.....no problems......so far.  Good luck to all others. 

  • Can not get email after updating to 8.1.1! Deleted account and now cannot add as will not verify due to Apple something timeout messages? Any one else having problems?

    Hi tania184,
    Have you contacted your email provider to make sure there are no problems on their end? If they say their email servers are working properly, check the outgoing and incoming mail servers entries on your iPhone to make sure both are entered correctly. Enter the outgoing mail server even if the account setup indicates that is optional.

  • How can I retrieve desktop files being erased after updating my computer?

    How can I retrieve desktop files being erased after updating my computer?

    The easiest method would be to restore them from the last Time Machine backup made just prior to the update. 
    Or use a file recovery application to recovery them.  Most have a demo mode so you can determine if it can find the files you need before purchasing it.  Go to MacUpdate.com and do a search for "recover files" to get a list of potential candidates.

    Iphone 4 personal Hotspot not working after update to IOS 7.1 India BSNL cellular

    BSNL is not a supported carrier. Personal Hotspot requires carrier support and provisioning of the account to enable it. iOS 7.1 disabled the ability to manually configure Personal Hotspot on unsupported carriers.
