Ipod doesnt show TV shows even though Itunes says they are there

After updating to the new iTunes, some of my TV shows (which i had set as movies before) dont appear on my iPod. After I change the file type (after clicking get info) to TV show, they dont appear on my 30GIG Video Ipod. They work fine when set as movies. On itunes when I look at what on my iPod they are there but I cant acces them becasue only Movies and Music Videos appears on my iPod.
PS I have latest itunes and ipod firmware

It's a problem with the new iPod software update. There has been much discussion about it on this forum and on ilounge. I was given this explanation from another poster:
"The reason this happens is because the iTunes category for "TV Shows" doesn't modify the meta-data of the video, rather, it just tells iTunes to display that video as a "TV Show", and does nothing to the videos on the iPod. To modify meta-data, I've found that AtomicParsley (for Terminal users) and Lostify (for GUI users) work alright."
Rather than use another application to correct the problem, I just restored the iPod to the earlier version. Now, everything works correctly. Hopefully, the next software update for the iPod will work. Incidentally, I kept the iTunes update.

  • Pictures not showing up in iPhoto - though it says they are there

    I've got a roll that says it has 22 items in it - 5 movies and the rest photos. ONLY the movies show up. If I go into the actual folder in the Finder the photos are there. Any idea why they aren't visible in iPhoto? All of the other rolls are working fine.
    thanks!

    Any idea why they aren't visible in iPhoto?
    Two possibilities:
    They weren’t imported properly
    or
    They were and your database is damaged.
    In the first scenario: drag them to the desktop and try import them again. In the second:
    Try these in order - from best option on down...
    1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
    2. Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
    3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
    To create and populate a new *iPhoto 6* library:
    Note this will give you a working library with the same Rolls and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
    Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
    Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
    Go into the iPhoto Library on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Roll Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
    When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
    In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.
    Standard Warning: Don't change anything in the iPhoto Library Folder via the Finder or any other application. iPhoto depends on the structure as well as the contents of this folder. Moving things, renaming things or otherwise making changes will prevent iPhoto from working and could even cause you to damage or lose your photos.

  • I recently purchased an album but a few of the songs do not play even though it says they are there. How do I get these songs to play?

    I bought an album on the iTunes store and 3 of the songs do not work on my iPod or in my iTunes library...How can I fix this problem?

    You can retrieve your songs from the iPod using something like Senuti.
    It's a program that transfers music from iPod to iTunes on a Mac.
    When you've got a copy of those songs on your computer, then you can restore the iPod.

  • IPod screen shows no songs after sync, but iTunes says they are there

    After syncing my iPod to my iTunes, the menu on the iPod shows no songs. iTunes says they are there and so does Winamp, but I can't see them by navigating the menu.
    The only things that changed since my last sync are some ratings and a new playlist.
    This has happened to me before. Usually it is resolved by rebooting my PC to make sure the iPod drivers are loaded. I tried rebooting my iPod (holding down Menu and Select), but that didn't do it either. I would like to avoid having to wipe the iPod and re-copy everything. And since this has happened before, it will probably happen again.
    I can't upgrade my iTunes to the latest version because Apple stopped releasing W2k versions. Thanks in advance.

    I have that issue also. I ripped a few cd's, attached the ipod, synced it, but my libraries disappeared. "About" says there's 20+ gigs of something on there, but nothing in any menu. I scanned the ipod with Panda, no malware. I took the ipod to Geek Squad, and the Head Geek suggested reformatting from windows, and then reinstalling software with itunes. Did that, hour later, same situation. 20 gigs of nothing, even though itunes reported it had transferred over 6,000 mp3's. Ipod just isn't recognizing anything on it as music, but it worked fine up until the re-sync, and I hadn't done it for awhile, so I am now guessing there's a bug in the newest software, and it isn't a hardware issue at all.
    On another note entirely, does anyone else find it strange that Apple's discussion page spell checker regards ipod and itunes as misspelled words?

  • Can't see some files, even though I know they are there

    This is a strange one.
    A couple of days ago, I began not being able to see most of the folders in my documents folder. I can see some, but not most.
    I know the files are there, because I can access recently used files from the applications like Word and Excel that have a recent files list. And, they are working fine.
    I just can't see the bulk of my folders. I've checked the things that occurred to me on security and sharing, and I don't think I changed anything or added any new software.
    Any guesses? Thanks for your help.

    Got my answer. I had moved the files (or someone in my family did), and they were deeply buried in another folder. Thanks.

  • HT1386 Connected ipad to computer and downloaded 2 apps that aren't showing up on my ipad.  Says they are downloaded on itunes, but I don't see anything on my ipad. I have synced it several times. Am I missing something?

    Connected ipad to computer with usb and downloaded 2 apps that aren't showing up on my ipad.  Says they are downloaded on itunes, but I don't see anything on my ipad. Tried downloading AGAIN and it says the same thing. Downloaded but don't see them on the ipad. I have synced it several times. Am I missing something?

    Try reset iPad
    Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
    Note: Data will not be affected.

  • TS4006 All of my devices suddenly say "offline" even though I know they are on. It was working fine and then it stopped working for all 4 devices. What's up?

    All my devices have stopped working. Everthing says offline even though I know they are on and functioning.

    Sounds like you have corrupt backup data, if this occurs from one phone to another. Try restoring the phone as a new device, without a backup. Try using for a day before installing any other apps, etc. See if that improves the battery life. Then try syncing back applications a couple at a time. Something seems to be locking in the processor which is draining the battery.
    Do you live in an area where there are Apple Stores? If so, try making an appointment with the Genius Bar to have the device checked out.

  • Songs won't show on iphone5 but itunes on Mac says they are there.

    Hi guys,
    On my iTunes on my Mac it shows that there are songs and playlists on my iphone (both when usb plugged in and on wifi) but on the actual device they won't show. Only about 10 songs show up. There is plenty of storage space on the device and they were there before but disappeared after an update.  I've tried re-syncing and dragging them over manually but nada. Some of the playlists show but are empty on the device. Any ideas? Thanks.

    Hi HeyBayLondon!
    It sounds like you may want to try restoring your phone and then re-syncing the content from your computer to see if the information will show up after that procedure. Information on doing that can be found right here:

  • Strange things showing up in navigation addresses and say they are from an ex. How is this possible?

    strange things keep showing up in navigation( short notes from ex) and instead of current location it has his name. How is this possible?

    Did you check your trash? If you dont empty it it will fill up and cause your HD to fill up even though you think you have removed some stuff.
    You should get a small program called "whatsize". Do a google and download it.
    Running it will show you what is filling up your HD and I believe that you can remove files with whatsize.
    good luck,
    frank

  • Not all files are showing up on my network hd, but they are there

    I have a PC and Macbook Pro networked in my house using an Airport Extreme. The HD shows up fine on both the PC and Mac (after a bit of problem with the HD format, it is now FAT32).
    I have backup software that automatically backs up a bunch of folders. After it finished backing up my music (about 9500 songs) I opened up the HD and only saw folders through D. I switched on the Macbook and it was the same thing. I tried manually adding the folders from my computers HD to the network HD and it said they already existed.
    I just plugged the HD directly into my computer (bypassing the network) and all the files are there.
    I am wondering how I can get to see all of the files that are on the HD, it is confusing my backup software so that it runs unnecessarily re backing up things that are already on the HD.
    Any help would be great

    The AirPort Extreme router can read and translate files that can be read on both PCs and Macs when connected to a shared disk. This is an important feature as it allows you to avoid using the very limiting FAT32 file format.
    Using FAT32 only makes sense when a hard disk or flash drive is alternately directly connected to both PCs and Macs.

  • TS2580 Only my welcome page published, not the links to the other pages.  My server says they are there, but not showing up, any ideas?  Thanks.

    I developed my web site and published it with myserver.  However only the first page shows up, no other pages, and the links to the other pages are missing on the welcome page.  The host tells me that it is a software problem, that the pages are on the server.  Pleae advise?
    Thank You.

    Rest assured, your pages are there :
    http://www.lynxag.com/Welcome.html
    http://www.lynxag.com/Products.html
    http://www.lynxag.com/Photos.html
    http://www.lynxag.com/Contact_Us.html
    http://www.lynxag.com/feed.xml
    You could have determined the presence of the pages by typing the pagenames in the URL.
    The second option was to connect to the server and see with your own eyes what is there.
    And since you do not use a Sitename in the URL, I assume you uploaded the files yourself instead of letting iWeb do the honours.
    Regarding the Photo page, I do not see any photos on the page. Yet they are on the server too :
    http://www.lynxag.com/Photos_files/Media/
    If you did put the files on the server yourself, verify that you did upload every single file iWeb creates.
    Edit : since the directories are open, you may want to consider closing them. Ask your webhoster to do it for you.

  • I've reset my iPhone 4S, my photos are gone but when I plug it into iTunes it still says they are there, can I get them back?

    I reset my iPhone 4S and my photos have now gone, the albums are still there but no photos even though when I look at my storage and plug it into iTunes it still says that majority of my memory is to the amount of photos I have. Can anyone tell me how I can get my photos back?

    last thing you can try would be go to settings, general, settings, reset all settings
    if that does not work, a factory restore will be needed...

  • How can I restore my playlist folders in itunes? They are there but the individual song titles aren't listed. They are only listed by album. This makes it very difficult to find songs in my playlist.  Also,when I click on music, it will not list options.

    My itunes account is messed up. How can I restore my playlist folders in itunes? The list's are there but the individual song titles aren't. They are only listed by album. I can only see the song titles as they are played at the top of my itunes. This makes it very difficult to find songs in my playlist.  Also when in the itunes store, I am not able to see music genre choices, or search for a song or group.
    Thank you

    Hi dones49,
    It sounds like your issue here is that iTunes can not find the files for some of the songs you have brought into it. This happens occasionally even if the songs have not been moved from the location that iTunes places them on import or purchase. When you try to use the song, iTunes prompts you to find the file, as you have seen.
    To find the file, use the information in this article to navigate through the iTunes media folders -
    Locate and organize your iTunes files
    If you are still unable to locate the files, you may need to download them from the iTunes store again, or rip them from your CDs. See this article for assistance with downloading your past purchases -

  • ITunes randomly deleting content - the "!" shows beside them, but they are not where iTunes says they are

    Hi - I find that iTunes has been randomly deleting some content (movies or songs) from my library.  I'll go to play something and it will have an exclamation point beside it.  Sometimes if I "Get Info" and locate the file, it will be there, and then play fine.  But sometimes it is completely gone from the library (still listed with an exclamation point, but not in the file folder it was stored in).  In that case, the location in the "get info" window shows as:
    file://localhost/Users/Username/.Trash/iTunes Media/Movies/Movie Title/Movie Title.m4v
    Even if I view hidden files, I cannot find that folder location to move the content.  The content is also not in the Trash, nor on the extrernal hard drive any more.
    NO idea why this is happening, and can't figure out a pattern.  Is anyone else having this issue, and/or found a solution?
    As background, I'm on a MacBook Pro (2011), running OSX Lion.  I sync an iPhone and an iPad2 to the iTunes library.  iTunes is set to manage files automatically.  The library is stored on an external hard drive accessed through a Time Machine.
    Thanks to anyone that can help!

    file://localhost/Users/Username/.Trash/iTunes Media/Movies/Movie Title/Movie Title.m4v
    But that file location is your System Trash -  you seem to have a problem with the permissions on your Trashes, either in your system Trash or the hidden Trash bin on your external drive.
    See if any hints in this document help to locate the trash on your external drive:
         Solving Trash Problems: http://thexlab.com/faqs/trash.html
    The library is stored on an external hard drive accessed through a Time Machine.
    Do you mean your Library is stored on a network volume (Time Capsule)? Then network problems may be the reason for your dead tracks.
