Itunes 7 not syncing tv shows

Sorry if this has been asked I tried searching and found nothing.
Using itunes 7 I'm setting to to sync the 10 most recent unwatched episodes of the Simpsons and it just won't sync them. There are unwatched episodes in my library. I set it to sync and it says updating ipod and then complete. It moves no files over. If I do the playlist option it will sync them. Any thoughts?

I have this problem as well. It appears with iTunes 7 that only purchased TV shows appear in the sync window. Also, syncing unwatched shows etc. only works with purchased shows.
This is very annoying, but I have created a workaround. I check the "only sync checked items" option and then check the shows I wish to sync. It means you have to monitor your own unwatched shows manually, but it accomplishes the same thing.

Itunes not syncing tv shows to ipad

Im having heaps problems getting Itunes to sync my tv shows to my ipad. They play fine on the mac and are showing that they are synced to the Ipad, but when I go into the ipad they are not there? Anyone have any ideas? Thanks

Demo,
Thanks for tossing out ideas. I am getting to the point my memory is not bad or is it they are changing the software daily to include and drop options...
I just tried to sync a single tv episode. It did not sync it, but oddly enough it does recoginze that it is selected, because wihen I undelect it after a sync, i get an apply button as if uncheck it is making a change. But space available does not change either way, nor does anything end up on the device.
Do not think too hard on it, it is not a "rush" item, just an annoyance with the software does not work as one would expect it to.

Can't be done with iTunes. You can do it with the app PhotoSync. It will transfer videos back to camera roll.

ITunes not syncing music

Hello,
I am having a problem with iTunes not syncing music to my iPad. I want to have my entire library on my iPad, this used to fit.
A few weeks ago I started getting an error, most of my music had vanished. I attempted to sync it back, but was told that there was not enough space on my iPad, despite no new files being added.I looked again and noticed something. I had 20GB of OTHER in iTunes, this is approximately the size of my music library.
It is fairly clear what happened, the music files were corrupted somehow, but were still there and taking up space on the iPad. So I decided to restore my iPad. First restoring and once everything had been wiped and back to factory setting, restoring from a backup.
This worked and I was left with only 1gb of other. At this point there was still no music on my device sync music was unchecked.
So once I was sure everything was up and running, I checked the sync music box... and nothing happened. It would begin synching, it would determine the tracks to sync for a moment... then it would quickly finish syncing without adding the music files.
Does anyone have any ideas?

Have you authorized your new computer: Store>Authorize this Computer?

ITunes not Syncing Lossless files to iPod?

Itunes not syncing Apple Lossless files to iPod?
I had a couple FLAC encoded CD's, and i recoded them into Apple Lossless using dBpoweramp.
These Apple Lossless files load perfectly into iTunes (Playable)
But no matter what I do, I can't get iTunes to put the files onto my iPod. But from what I've seen, my iPod should support these files! (I tagged all the lossless files with a unique Artist name, and told iTunes to only sync that Artist. Even then it wouldn't sync.)
Ipod Classic 6th gen 120 gb, Software version 2.0.1
iTunes version 9.0.1.8
Using Windows 7 RC 64-bit
How do I get this to work?

Same problem here, same application versions. I'm trying to get them to sync to an iPhone but it doesn't actually sycnc. They play without issue in iTunes. I converted them from flac to Apple lossless using dbpoweramp.
Any suggestions would be helpfull

ITunes not syncing selected playlists, choosing songs from all playlists

I have some smaller iPods that I use on random occasions. When I sync them, I choose the following options:
Sync Music:
Selected Playlists, artists, genres
Music Videos - Not Checked
Automatically fill free space with songs - Checked
I have two playlists from which I wish a selection to be made, which exceeds the size of the iPod (they were designed for larger devices synced with this machine). When I attempt to Sync, I get a message saying that the iPod is too small, and would I like iTunes to automatically choose songs to sync. If I click no, the sync is canceled. If I click yes to have a subset of my two playlists automatically choosen, the ipod will sync, but then iTunes clears all of my selected playlists and starts syncing songs from all playlists.
This seems like a bug in iTunes to me, as it is not performing the requested options. Has anyone else experienced this, or know how to get it fixed? Or to get a bug report sent in to Apple? I have been going all over the place on their support page, and since this isn't an issue with the iPod, but with iTunes, I haven't been able to find a support avenue.

iTunes not syncing selected playlists, choosing songs from all playlists
You have it selected to *sync selected playlists* and those playlists are not syncing to the iPod?
however this seems to be very counter-intuitive behavior for iTunes
It can be kind of confusing.
I suggest it's not a bug in that it is acting as it's supposed to.
The option (Fill free space) could be made clearer. Perhaps if they added "with songs at random from the entire library" or somehow added an option to select what the free space will be filled with.)
1) The fact that iTunes it is not obeying the selected options on the screen
Not supposed to do that.
If the playlists all fit and there is free space, what would iTunes use to fill the free space if it only used selected items?
2) iTunes is allowing users construct an unhonorable set of choices out of four options. If "Selected playlists, artists and genres" is not compatible with "Automatically fill free space," then that option should be grayed out.
It is compatible.
If there is free space after your selections are added, what should iTunes use to fill the free space? It shouldn't fill the free space with stuff already on the iPod.

Why is my latest itunes not syncing music with my music on my iphone 4s with iOS 7?

Why is my latest itunes not syncing music with my music on my iphone 4s with iOS 7?

Here's what I did. If you have an existing playlist and add a song to it, drag the whole playlist into the phone icon. It will ask if you want to Replace the playlist..YES. In my case i added one song in the playlist to test it. It synced the one song and also kept all the other songs but it didnt run through every song, so it was really fast. This is what I would do...drag and drop. Also, I shut down my phone and started it again, before I did the sync. I hope this helps

For those of you with a Windows computer and the iOS device is not syncing or showing up in iTunes. here is a known solution that has been working for tech support!

I know this seems to be an emerging issue ever since the update to iTunes 11.1.4, some iPhones or other iOS devices are not showing up in iTunes or syncing. I'm not sure if Apple really knowns of this issue, but tech support has a (mostly) sure fire way of resolcing this issue. It's only for Windows computers though.
Go to the article http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1538 and follow the Section 5 Verify Apple Mobile Device USB driver is installed. When you clik on that section, go to your version of Windows (it seems to be happening mostly across Windows 8) . And then to the section: If Apple iPod, Aple iPhone, or Apple iPad is listed.
The gist of what you need to do:
Windows 8 (since it seems to be the most affected) move your cursor to the upper ight corner of your screen) and click on the Magnifying glass. Type in devmgmt.msc and this should bring up the Device Manager. Onc eyou are in the device manager, look for the "Portable device" or "Universial Serial bus Controller" list, and you should see the "Apple iPhone/iPad/iPod" listed. Onc eyou see it, right click it, choose "Update software driver." Now, IT WILL SAY THE DRIVER IS UPDATED. I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH. Select "Browse my computer for driver software." Onc eyou choose that, select "Let me pick from a lsit of drivers on my computer." You should see the option "Have Disk." Choose that. Again, I KNOW you do not have a physical disk, but the file we need is already on your computer. After Hard Disk, choose Browse again. Follow this file path to the file we need: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers.. In the Driver's folder, you should see the "usbaaple" or "usbappl64" (if you have the 64 bit for Windows). Double click on that file, and hit OK. The file should install, and once it's finished check your iTunes!!! You may want to unplug your device and plug it back it before doing all of this. I REALLY hope this works for you all as well!

How can I change my file extension from m4p to something else? I have had no success being able to play or burn my purchased music. I keep getting error 2122. If I can change the format I should be able to move it to another player or at least burn it in Nero. Thanks.

ITunes 12.1 not syncing TV Shows with 1st Gen Apple TV

I recently purchased season 2 of House of Cards via iTunes on my Mac. My 1st generation Apple TV and my 12.1 Version of iTunes syncs my music, pictures, movies, but not the TV shows. The setting are set to "Sync All Unwatched Shows". I reset my Apple TV to "Factory Settings" and reconfiged everything. Everything syncs except the TV Shows. I only have 2 Apple TV errors for 1080 movies that I know will not play on my Apple TV. I have download many TV Shows in the past and have had no problems syncing. This occurred since I upgraded to iTunes V12.1. I was traveling for 2 months and playing the TV shows directly from my MacBook Pro via HDMI cable. I updated iTunes in January and just returned home. This is the first time I tried to sync with iTunes 12.1 and Apple TV.

Yes, fix needed here or I'll have to start considering MS and Apple of the same breed. Software that does things for you that you don't want it to do is Microsofts design that caused me to move to Apple long ago, and releasing software that "Just doesn't work" isn't very Appley... Or is it now? Hmmm... Maps anyone?
That aside, my related problem is with the "Unwatched" sorting of TV shows which is very oddly messed up, not consistantly all have changed in one direction or another and they are oddly changing in the wrong direction in some cases without my touching the manual (Rightclick) setting.
With this issue, a major convenience of Apple TV and other devices is turned into an inconvenience.
Please fix.

Apple TV not syncing TV shows after updating iTunes

Hope someone can help!
I upgraded to the new iTunes version. Everything seemed to work fine - movies and music appeared. When I tried TV shows, nothing appeared. I checked my computer and saw that everything had been moved to the iCloud EXCEPT for the latest season of any TV show! For example, Glee Seasons 1-4 showed up but Season 5 did not. Nothing synced with Apple TV unless I downloaded it. Again, movies and photos are fine. Even movies that are not downloaded are showing up in iTunes but TV shows are not.
I restarted Apple TV with no effect. I de-linked and then re-synced my library but this did not change the problem.
I checked the settings and the box "Show only synced items on my Apple TV" is NOT checked but that is exactly what is happening.
Any thoughts?
Thank you,
Elizabeth Sullivan

I solved the issue - I had to go to Apple TV, settings, computer, and connect to my iTunes library. Even though my Apple TV had previously had been connected to my iTunes library and was visible on the Apple TV, it was now "greyed out". I had to select my library again and it immediately showed up in iTunes and I had to confirm with the code that appeared on the Apple TV. It did erase the content on my Apple TV and it will take time to re-sync, but it was immediately able to stream content from my computer. This set up is pretty much the same way I set it up in the first place. All is well....

80g not syncing TV shows purchased on iTunes (not an HD issue)

I have several TV programs that I purchased, some as long as 4 years ago, and some only a year ago. On my old computer I manually synced because my computer couldn't hold all my iPod content. Then I got a new computer and started auto syncing.
Now all my old TV shows (purchased through iTunes when I used my previous computer, copied to this computer from my iPod) won't sync to my iPod. I have selected the check box and selected all episodes of all shows. I have also tried doing "selected" and then checking the boxes, nothing works.
This is so enfuriating as all of these were legitimately purchased. I can watch them fine in iTunes, but can't get the d*mn things to copy/sync!

OKAY...this was the same thing that happened to me and I figured out the problem...it might be the same for you all...when you plug your iPod into the usb and the iPod Updater screen appears through your iTunes account, go to the "TV Shows" tab at the top. MAKE SURE YOU SELECT "Sync ALL videos." It turns out that the videos that weren't appearing on my iPod were the ones that had been watched at least once. I had the "Sync ALL UNWATCHED" option selected, there for all of the episodes that were viewed on my computer were not synced onto my iPod. HOPE THIS HELPS!

IPod Classic not syncing or showing up in iTunes

My iPod Classic 160gb went on the fritz recently. It doesn't show any of the music and won't show up in iTunes when I plug it into my computer. I tried to reset it by hodlding down menu and select until seeing the Apple, but nothing changes. I then tried to go through disk mode, which I'm able to do on the iPod, but it still does not show up in iTunes. It does show up on my desktop though. I'm stumped. Any ideas???

If it shows up in the Finder as an externally mounted drive, try doing a low level reformat of the iPod's hard disk. This has corrected this same issue for a handful of other users recently.
Use the instructions in this article to walk you through the process.

Itunes not syncing new songs + other problems. Help please!

My computer had to be taken to the shop last week and the whole system had to be wiped and recovered. I forgot to tell them there was another file I wanted saved so I lost a lot of my music.
I managed to download the free version of touchcopy and get my music back on to itunes. The music that I lost comes up with a question mark and wont play on itunes but is in ipod and plays fine. Is there anyway I can get the original files of these songs on to my computer as I cant make playlists or anything with these songs?
Also in my ipod a few of the playlists have been screwed up and there are about 5-6 versions of 90s music, recently added etc that have nothing in them. Is there anyway to get rid of them?
My main problem now is that itunes wont sync the new music that Ive just added (it wasnt on the ipod before). When i plug my ipod into my computer itunes tells me "sync is complete" and it also shows up with "do not disconnect" on my computer even though the sync is apparantly complete. How do I sync this music on to my ipod??
Sorry for that incredibly long winded problem, I really hope someone can help me!!

Here are things I did:
Unchecked the playlists, Synced to remove all songs, rechecked them, synced again. NO RESULT
Added the songs manually by dragging and dropping them into my iphone. NO RESULT
Eventually, I cracked, and went for a restore, which luckily did the trick.
No solution was found however, and I would love to know if anyone has encountered this issue as I'm sure it will happen again.
Thanks

IPod and iTunes not syncing properly

When I swipe a song to the right on my iPod and tap delete, a cloud appears with a down arrow. The song never leaves my iPod and I am still able to play it with the cloud/arrow showing. The cloud symbol remains after syncing and the song will still play. In fact the cloud symbol never goes away until I tap it. If I tap the cloud I get the circle/square symbol indicating it has been downloaded/added to my iPod. Conversely, when I drag music on iTunes to my iPod I see the green plus sign but the song does not appear on my iPod after syncing nor on iTunes. I also have unchecked music on iTunes listed for my iPod and they still don't go away after syncing.
iPod touch 5g, refurbished
iTunes 11.1.3 (8)

As a last ditch attempt I unchecked all the albums, artists and manually loaded songs on my iPod via iTunes and synced my iPod. After syncing there were 3 songs left on my iPod which I was able to delete in the normal fashion (sliding left and touching the red "Delete" prompt). I synced my iPod again. Now iPod was empty. I then loaded the songs I wanted by clicking and dragging the albums I wanted to my iPod via iTunes. I synced again and now my iPod has the songs that I currently want on it.
