Tv show won't transfer onto iPod

I have a fifth generation (video) iPod and purchased a tv show from the iTunes store. The tv show won't transfer from iTunes to my iPod. My computer is authorized for the iPod. Any suggestions on how to transfer the show?
Thanks!

Ok take it step by step:
1. When you connect iPod to iTunes do you see your video episodes there both under iPod and iTunes???
2. I assume you will see them in iTunes but not in iPod.
Drag one episode and make sure you cab see it there.
3. play it from iTunes (under the iPod
If it plays then th issue is with your iPod setting: It's set to be viewed on TV as external
If it does not Then your iPod needs to be reset.
Try the above andd let's see,

TV show won't transfer (to iT)

Hello all.
Last week, I purchased a HD TV show on my iPod Touch (2G, 16GB). The SD version finished downloading to the device, and the HD version finished downloading to the computer.
However, for some reason or another, it will not copy the SD version to iTunes, as if it wasn't a purchase. I tried multiple methods of copying (here's a case where a disk mode feature would be very useful), including the "File>Transfer Purchases from '...'s iPod'", but none have proven successful. Can someone explain why it's not doing this?
For the curious, I bought the Family Guy S8 episode Dial Meg for Murder, the newest episode as of this post. I like it as she takes revenge, but some parts aren't so great to see.

Thank you, this worked for me.
This is a fairly big glitch... on top of not being able to purchase an episode on the iPhone at work last week (I got an error), I successfully downloaded an episode this week only to find out it wouldn't work. Usually with music or music videos, iTunes creates the "Purchased on xxxx's iPhone" playlist and transfers the stuff from the iPhone to iTunes.
Oh well, at least your solution worked just fine.

Why won't a Rented movie will not restart?

Rented a movie through iTunes I stopped it and now it will not restart

Welcome to the Apple community Triley937.
A number of people have reported similar issues recently, many appear to have found a discrepancy of some kind in their account settings and making changes to these settings or simply resetting them has resolved the matter.
You might also try logging out of and then back into your iTunes account (Settings > iTunes Store > Apple ID’s > Sign Out) and restarting your router. (Some have reported that after doing this, they need to check for rentals even though it may report that there aren’t any, after which rentals once again appear in the ‘movies’ feature)
Rentals should appear under their own heading in the ‘Movies’ feature, you might also check at Settings > iTunes Store > Check For Rentals.

I rented a movie and transferred to iphone, but when I transferred back it didn't work. it still show in itune on my ohone, but no on the actual phone. it won't transfer and I can' find or watch it on my phone now.

HT201303 I have rented 2 movies the past 9 days and they won't transfer to my iPad - error message says that they cannot be played on my iPad. I haven't watched either movie and this is the first time I have ever had this happen.

I have rented 2 movies the past 9 days and they won't transfer to my iPad (first generation). Get the same error message that says they cannot be played on my iPad. I haven't watched either movie and this is the first time I have ever had this happen after several successful movie rentals and transfers.

I don't have an iPad to test this, so I can only refer you to Apple's Podcast Tech Specs page:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/podcasts/specs.html#formattingvideo
This says that the maximum video size for an iPad is 1024x768 - your latest episode is 1280x720.
Slightly confusingly, it also says
'iPad & Apple TV can play the following video formats:
H.264 video up to 720p, 30 frames per second, Main Profile level 3.1 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps per channel, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats
MPEG-4 video, up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats
Motion JPEG (M-JPEG) up to 35 Mbps, 1280 by 720 pixels, 30 frames per second, audio in ulaw, PCM stereo audio in .avi file format'
which suggests that mp4 files are even more limited.
Incidentally your feed gives this URL for the media file:
http://www.honywoodschool.com/user/59/133934.mp4
However when downloaded this produces a file called 'howtosetupappeid.mp4' so soe sort of redirect appears to be in place, and these can sometimes cause trouble. It's better to link directly to the file - it's possible that the iPad doesn't handle the redirect.
That's all I can suggest: if it still doesn't cover the problem I can only refer you to the iPad forum where someone may be able to actually try your podcast and offer a comment.

Games I bought years ago, Texas Holdem and iQuiz will no longer transfer to my iPod Classic. They show in my computer "Apps" but they won't transfer. They no longer show that they can be "Re-Downloaded" from "Previously Purchased" they don't exist there.

Movie in iTunes won't transfer to new iPad

I downloaded a couple of new movies in Itunes on my computer and then I tried to transfer to my new ipad and it won't transfer, it attempts to transfer to IPAD, however it doesn't some error message pops up, I didn't write it down I was wondering if anybody else has been getting this and what to do about it. By the way I have enough memory for the movie and I know that I could just have transferred it on the device itself.

Have you had a chance to look at these troubleshooting documents? They may be of some help:
iPod missing in My Computer and in iTunes
iPod is not recognized properly by computer when USB drivers are not installed properly or are out of date

When will the ability to transfer seamlessly between apple Tvs be available? I want to be able to move from one room with an Apple TV to the other, and easily transfer a movie or tv show.

No one here can answer the question (if or when that might happen). We are users here and do not speak for Apple. In fact, it violates the TOU to speculate about future Apple plans.

I purchased movies on my iPad 2. They show up in iTunes on my computer (PC). How can I transfer these movies to my iPhone 4?

Thanks, but the link to the iPad user guide was not particularly helpful.
It turns out that iTunes is not smart enough to let me download movies to multiple devices. So, I had to transfer from my iPad to my library, and then transfer from there to my iPhone. I would have expected iTunes to know that I had purchased it, and just let me download it again on my other device.

Games and podcasts are showing up in my source list but won't transfer

My son just upgraded from an ipod shuffle to a nano 2nd gen. I have downloaded the latest version of itunes. He bought a game and got some podcasts. They show up in the source list but won't transfer to the nano. I have tried restoring the nano but that did not help. Any suggestions?

Make sure to enable podcasts on the iPod nano. When you plug it in pick the iPod nano in the source list and then click on the podcasts tab. Then enable the transfer of the ones you want. I believe that the games are only playable on the 5th gen iPod not the nano. Sorry about that

Why won't my rented movie show up on my ipad?

I've rented plenty of movies before so I know how it's supposed to work. I rented the movie, moved it to the iPad, synced, and my purple video bar goes up to show the movie is syncing, but when it says it's finishing the sync, the purple video bar suddenly goes way down and it doesn't put the movie onto the ipad. HOWEVER, on my imac in itunes, it shows the video is on my ipad. But, look in Videos on the ipad and it isn't there. I tried searching my ipad for the movie, and got nothing. It isn't there. So, i went back to delete the movie from the ipad and was going to sync and then move it back to the ipad and sync again, but now i get a message saying that if i delete the movie from my ipad i'll have to rent the movie again. ***? It shows the movie is on the ipad, but seriously... it isn't. My IOS is up to date.

No...rentals will still appear in the Videos app and like you said, a Spotlight Search should reveal them if they are actually on the iPad.
You did try the basic stuff, like close the videos app, reboot the iPad? You should ba able to "move" the rental back to iTunes on your iMac without penalty of having to rent it again.
From the iTunes Store Movie Rental FAQ web site. I changed some of the type to italics for emphasis.
If you download a rented movie on your computer: You can transfer it to a device such as your Apple TV (1st generation), iPhone, iPad, or iPod if it’s a standard-definition film (movies in HD can only be watched on your computer, iPad, iPhone 4 or later, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV). Once you move the movie from your computer to a device, the movie will disappear from your computer's iTunes library. You can move the movie between devices as many times as you wish during the rental period, but the movie can only exist on one device at a time.
If you download a rented movie on your iPhone 4 or later, iPad, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV: It is not transferable to any other device or computer.

I am downloading music from itunes it shows on my purchased playlist but when i try to transfer it onto a specific playlist it won't transfer across what do i need to do

When you are viewing the tracks on the hard disc, did you then click on "Import CD"? This is needed to initiate the importing process that will add the tracks to your library.

The Bob Dylan Movie on iTunes Store won't transfer after purchase

I have used iTunes Store for years and have no problem of transferring music and videos to my iTunes. However, I recently purchase the Bob Dylan movie on iTunes and it keeps coming up with an error 50 that says check connectivity to the network. The connectivity is fine and other purchased songs and television shows I can transfer. However, I have paid for the Bob Dylan movie and it will not transfer and comes up with that dialog box and error 50 each time. I have the latest version of iTunes for my iPhone. Can someone please assist and does anyone know an email or telephone number for customer service for iTunes since I can't seem to find anything on the web. Thank you for your assistant and time.

I just had the same problem and the advice in the discussion titled "cannot connect to iTunes store" posted by dcbrendle fixed my problem.
Good luck

Rented movies showing up twice in iTunes and will not transfer to my iPad 2 because "already transfered to another computer or device."

Rented movies show up twice in iTunes and will not transfer to my iPad 2 because "already transfered to another computer or device." Ideas on how to enable movie sync?

My understanding is that rented movies can be viewed on only one device - the device that originally received the movie. Consequently, they can not be synced.
I can not explain why you see them twice in iTunes.
