ITunes won't delete watched TV shows from iPad--how to fix?

Does anyone know how to fix this?
I spent years watching TV shows on my iPhone(s), and iTunes always knew to delete the watched ones. I can't figure out or find a setting to make this work on my iPad.
Have iTunes 10, latest iPad software, Snow Leopard.
Thanks!

Hi,
In the iTunes window with your iPad connected, select TV Shows from the menu.
Try resetting the pop up menus.
And under the Summary tab, if you have: *Manually manage music and windows* selected, deselect that box.
See if that makes a difference.

Auto Delete Watched TV shows from iTunes - Mac version

My workflow is as follows: eyeTV records to a folder, iVI picks up show, pulls in meta data and tags the show, converts it to Apple TV 3 format, deletes the orgininal .eyetv file, exports to iTunes in the proper folder (movie, TV, etc...) Then it shows up on my Apple TV under home sharing with all the beautiful meta data and artwork. The problem is when I am done watching my show I have to manually go to my computer (which is a headless mac mini running as a server) and delete the files. It's a real PITA. Is there anyway to auto delete shows with a watch status - or does anyone know where I can get ahold of an apple script or something to do this?
Thanks,
Travis

Have you considered a smart playlist of unwatched TV shows.
You can construct it like this:
Select iTunes application, the in top menu,
    select 'File' then 'New Smart Playlist'
    'Media Kind' is 'TV Show'
   add another level with 'Plays' is 0
Name the playlist 'Unwatched TV Shows'
Once you watch the show, it will be removed from the play list.
If you would like scripts, there is an excellent source of scripts,
Google for "Doug' Applescripts".
He has hundreds of scripts for various iTune tasks.
Most are free but you can donate if you like.

You transfer the purchases to the computer you use to sync the iPhone. You can use a thumb drive or an external HD, etc. Read this: iTunes for Mac - How to copy purchases between computers: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1373

How do i delete a tv show from my ipod? I updated it to the iOS 7 and got a bunch of shows that I have bought but deleted and I got rid of those through the settings but there is one that will not go away.

Try swiping them left or right,(try both) a Delete or Remove button should appear. Tap it.

Is the any way to totally delete a TV show from the iCloud?

Is the any way to totally delete a TV show from the iCloud?

No. TV Shows are kept in the cloud which is a different thing all together from iCloud. iCloud is your own personal strage space for backups and other App data. "the cloud" in the case of Tv shows and movies is in Apple's own media servers. So you can't simply delete a show from there.
This however means that the show in the cloud is not taking up space in your iCloud storage. As Axeman points out: you can Hide it, but you'll need a computer to do so.

When I delete all my contact from iCloud, How I can restore them?

when I delete all my contact from iCloud, How I can restore them?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
To restore from a back up made through iTunes, follow these instructions.
To restore from a back up made through iCloud, try the following:
The difficulty in restoring iCloud data from a back up is that the back up is older than the current version on iCloud and anything that is restored gets removed again when an iCloud sync occurs.
Ensure the device is connected to your local network.
Start the restore from iCloud back up.
Allow the devices settings to restore (watch for the confirmation of completion).
As the apps begin to restore pull the connection to your router WAN port (the one that goes to the telephone point).
Wait for the time out confirmation.
Navigate to settings > iCloud and turn off contact syncing (keep contacts when prompted).
Reconnect the router to the internet and let the restore process complete.
Delete any iCloud contacts from iCloud.com on a computer.
Navigate to settings > iCloud and turn on contact syncing (merge contacts when prompted).
May I suggest that you carry out a back up to iTunes before you try anything, that way should things become even worse, you can at least restore back to where you are now.

How Do You Delete a Group Invite from iPad?

Has anyone figured out how to delete a group invite from iPad-- I removed it from the MAC computer without problem, but the sync with iPad and iPhone retains the invitation on iPad and iPhone. I did not create the group email, just received it. I sync through iCloud only. There iappears to be no way to remove the event directly from either iPhone or iPad when clicking on the event. Delete is not a choice.

You need to either delete it from whatever app you manage you contacts with on your computer or use an iOS app such as ABC Contacts and others.

If AMDS is running, you are using a USB port directly on the computer and not a hub, you have disconnected other USB devices except keyboard and mouse, you have completely uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes as described in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925, You have tried cleaning the connector on the bottom of the phone, you have tried a different cable, you have installed the latest USB drivers for your computer, you have disabled your antivirus and firewall, you are running as an Administrator account and you have tried creating a new user on your computer and connected when logged in as that user then you have exhausted my knowledge. The only other thing to try is a different computer. If it isn't recognized on a different computer you have a hardware problem. Good luck!
