Movies and some TV Shows wont play on iPhone even though they appear in the Movies section

I have an iPhone 4S and my old 3GS and after upgrading to iOS 5 neiher will play all of the Movies and TV Shows that sync across from iTunes.
I already have issues with incorrect media that won't sync based on compatibility grounds, but these videos have synced onto the devices but show up in the Videos secion as greyed out options that can't be clicked.
In some cases two of the three episodes will play but the third is just a grey option.
Does anyone know what is causing this?
The problem exisits both with video ripped from DVD's and video purchased from the iTunes store.

Hey there ImpossibleXY,
It sounds like you have some items on the phone taking up space but you cannot find them to delete them.
First, if you have not already start by restarting the phone and your computer, then try the sync again to see if it updates correctly.
Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset

If the issue persists I would next backup restore the device with iTunes to see if that refreshes the space correctly on the phone.

"It won't pick it up even though it says it's the default..."
You checked this how? Where does it "say" it is the default?

Some of my songs don't show up on my iPhone, even though they are in Match.

I can access the full library if I sign in to iTunes from a desktop computer. Most of my songs are accessible to be downloaded, but several songs I recently added are missing. In one case, only one of the songs on an album is visible to be downloaded. What do I need to do to access my full library of songs?

I created a 5x7 postcard document in Word with text boxes and graphics. When I converted it to PDF, some of the items were missing, even though they were in the boundaries of the page and looked fine on the Word document. What happened, and how do I fix

I'm trying to upload the PDF version to Vistaprint. Thanks.

Reader doesn’t create pdf files. You can use Acrobat (ask in that forum) to create pdfs. You can subscribe to the Adobe PDF Pack which has a create pdf functionality (please ask in that forum), or you can use a third party utility such as ghostscript, cutepdf, or Microsoft’s own PDF creation capability. For third party pdf creation you will need to ask in a forum dedicated to that software as fellow users of Reader are unlikely to have the knowledge to help.

Not all my songs are showing in itunes even though they are in the Itunes Media file directory

Not all my songs are showing in itunes even though they are in the itunes Media Dir. I have spent hours trying to find out why so I moved the songs out of the Music/itunes/itunes media and uninstalled itunes. I then restarted my pc and re-installed itunes. When I opened itunes the same songs are still there (but cannot be played as cannot find location) even though I have not put anything back in the itunes media dir. To me there seems to be a refreshing problem as itunes is not looking at the directory even through the advanced preferences area is mapped to the correct area.
Help please.
Thanks

Apple's official advice on duplicates is here: Find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library. It is a manual process and the article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls such as lost ratings and playlist membership, or that sometimes the same file can be represented by multiple entries in the library and that deleting one and recycling the file will break the other.
Use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items to display duplicates as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks, however this works best when performed immediately after the dupes have been created. If you have multiple entries in iTunes connected to the same file on the hard drive then don't send to the recycle bin.
Use my DeDuper script if you're not sure, don't want to do it by hand, or want to preserve ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See this thread for background, this post for detailed instructions, and please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping.
(If you don't see the menu bar press ALT to show it temporarily or CTRL+B to keep it displayed.)
The most recent version of the script can tidy dead links as long as there is at least one live duplicate to merge stats and playlist membership to and should cope sensibly when the same file has been added via multiple paths.

Why is it that some songs get listed on their own even though they are part of an album?

Why is it that some songs get listed on their own even though they are part of an album? They are always songs that I had on my computer not imported from a cd using iTunes. I have verified that all the info is correct and matches the other songs in the album. Sometimes I can check the "compilation" box on all the songs in the album and that will put them in order and in the same listing. I'm pulling my hair out trying to figure this out.

Good One CL.
What I did in this case is select all the songs in the album and select Get Info and see if Album Artist and Album and Sort Artist and Sort Album Artist and Sort Album are the same.

ITunes can't locate some of my music... seems random... some was purchased, other songs from my CDs. Also, it won't sync some that were purchased to my iPhone even though it shows in my iTunes. What to do?

iTunes shows quite a few songs that it can't locate. Some were songs that were purchased, others are from my CDs... not the entire album, just some of the songs. The songs still show up on my iPhone from previous syncs. Also, I purchased some that I've put in a playlist and it plays fine on my computer, though it won't sync to my phone. The others that I've purchased in the same manner do, just not that one. I've tried adding it elsewhere, I have deleted it and re-downloaded it... yet it still won't show up on my phone when I attempt to sync it. This has all occured since I've updated it to iOS 7. Any advice to remedy this is greatly appreciated.

Not sure how this is an ipod touch question.
Perhaps you should post in the itunes forum.

Some artists dont show up on my list even tho they are on the ipod

When I go thru the menu and click on artists, there are about 10 artists that do not show up. I know that they are on the ipod, and if I go thru albums instead I can find the full album, but it just doesnt show up thru artists. There doesnt seem to be anything odd about the track, and they were uploaded from the cd. Does anyone know whats going on?!

There are usually two things that contribute to songs not appearing under Artist on the iPod, both due to information either in or missing from the Get Info>Info tab against the song in iTunes. 1) the song has no album name associated with it or 2) the song is marked as part of a compilation.
If tracks are missing an Album name in the Info tab, this information needs to be filled in. The no album one is a bit quirky as the songs will appear under certain circumstances but the simplest remedy is just add None or Miscellaneous to all the blanks in place of a title. See this link for more detail: I don't see some of my songs when browsing by artist on my iPod
Also if the tracks are ticked in the Get Info>Info tab as part of a compilation, they will not appear under Artist on the iPod. Highlight a song in iTunes that you know is not appearing correctly on your iPod. Right click on it and choose Get Info and click the Info tab (alternatively choose Get Info from the File menu), if "Part of a Compilation" is marked untick it and afterwards update your iPod, you should find it now appears as normal. Compilations are stored in a separate folder in iTunes so the songs don't appear inside the normal Artist>Album folder.

Just received replacement iPhone and trying to set up. Can't get photostream photos to show up on new iPhone even though all 1800 pics show up on Mac iPhoto and iPad photostream. What can I do to view my photos on my phone?

How can I get my photostream from Mac and iPad to show up on my new iPhone 4 replacement. Broke my iPhone and received a new one but can't get it set up to see my photostream. Can anyone help?

If her data was not backed up or synced to something, it's gone. Sorry.

Changed sequence settings to match source footage but only half footage now matches even though they're from the same camera and same aspect ratio

My source footage is 1920 X 1080 from a canon 60D. I changed my sequence settings to Digital SLR 1920 X 1080 to match. On the program window I have it set at "Fit". Only about a quarter of my footage now fits the program screen and looks to be the matching aspect ratio. The rest of the footage when on "fit" fills a tiny portion of the viewing window so it appears they don't match the sequence settings. I don't understand why this is happening because this footage is from the same camera, shot the same day, and have the same aspect ratios.
Can anyone tell me why this is happening and how I can fix it??

First of all, the setting that you mention is on Fit is the Zoom Level of the Program Monitor. It controls only how the sequence is shown in that monitor; it has nothing to do with how any sources are handled in the sequence.
Please provide the following information:
Exact version of Premiere Pro
Exact version of operating system
Graphics card and driver
Also, please post a screenshot showing the following
Project panel with the Video Info column visible
the Timeline visible
one of the problematic clips selected and the Effect Controls panel visible, with the Motion section twirled open.

Purchased movies no longer showing up in my itunes, even though they are in my past purchases.

I am trying to figure out why movies I purchased (not rented) are no longere in my library. There are quite a few of them missing. Any ideas on how to get them back?

In the Event mode use the View ➙ Sort ➙ By Date ➙ Decending menu option. Then the latest imports will be near the top of the Event window (depending on when the photos were taken of course).
Or Control-Click on one of the thumbnails in the Last Import album and select Show Event from the contextual menu:

I have just edited the default profile and no longer see the IMAOP folders even though they are in the profile. How do I access these

Hi
I add to change the e-mail settings for an account (server name changed) and mail is still flowing to and from the account. But all the mail in the IMAP folder is no longer showing in Thunderbird just mail that has come in and out since the change. How do I restore access to the IMAP folder, the account still uses IMAP.
Nigel

With IMAP all mail is managed on the server. You therefore must not change the server of an existing account.
Restore the original server setting. Then create a new IMAP account for the new server.
