How do I get the t.v. shows/movies off of my itunes account onto my itouch?

I backed them up on my itunes account and had to update my software on my itouch. All of my music was loaded back onto the itouch but I can't get the movies or the t.v. shows to load back onto the itouch. I also lost all of my apps. Help!

Apps can be downloaded again for free: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
Are you using the same account again?

TS1702 Hi, I bought The Truth About Love album on itunes as a complete my album from my Iphone4S. I can see the name of the album as a purchase on my Mac Notebook 2004, however I am not unable to add the music to my itouch and is doesn't show up in music

Hi,
I bought the Truth About Love/Pink's album on itunes as a complete my album purchase as I had bought a song from the album previously. I bought it via my Iphone 4S. When I turn on itunes on my Mac Notebook 2004 (IOS X 10.4.11) I can see the album as a purchase but it is not listed in my library music nor can I add it to my Itouch 2nd generation. Do you know why? I can access the songs on my iphone but nowhere else.

They will only be on your computer's iTunes if you put them there. If you are in a country where you can re-download music then they should show under the Purchased Link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes. If they don't show there then you can connect your phone to your computer's iTunes and do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases to copy them over.

OverDrive Audiobooks transfer to iTouch, but do not show up in Audiobooks section on iTouch?

I have been transerring several Audiobooks from OverDrive to my iTouch. Most of my audiobooks will show up in the Audiobook folder on the iTouch, but about five only show up in a Playlist - not the Audiobook folder. In iTunes, they are in the "Book" file, but not on the iTouch. They are marked as "Audiobooks" under the "Get Info" tab. I have also disabled all restrictions. I have tried re-transferring the books, but it doesn't seem to make a difference. Any ideas? Thanks!

I was able to search and find my wma audiobook through itunes and select all parts and type in the author's name. Once I added the author's name the audiobook showed up in the audiobook section in music. Hope it works.

My Artwork Albums are not showing up at all on my iTouch!

but it shows up on my computer, what should I do? I all ready restarted my iTouch and it still didn't work, help please!

Many people are having this problem for the last couple of days. According to Fly150in another discussion, this will work.
If you want to update the Apps while waiting for Apple to fix Updates:
1. Go to App Store
2. Select Purchased
3. Select All
4. Scroll down to find the Apps showing update
5. Select update on the Apps
This should update the Apps and get rid of the update count in App Store.

I suddenly have problems syncing my itouch. when i connect it to the computer, it shows that i still have all of my songs and playlists. But when i look on my itouch, it says i have no content in the music section. and when i try to sync it, there's error

I wanted to listen to some new music i added to my itouch, but when i looked, it said no content in the music section. So i connected to the computer and opened itunes. My device showed up and everything, my playlists and songs where still there, but my itouch still showed No Content. Then i tried to sync it, and there's always an error popping up, so now i have no idea what to do! I have too many songs to start over again! And the iTunes i am using now was not my original one because my old computer broke so i got a new computer and new iTunes, so this iTunes doesn't have all of my songs. i'm sick and tired of being afraid to update my itouch because it says it won't save my songs so when it updates my songs could be deleted. Could someone please help or tell me how to contact the Apple people?

iPod touches or any iDevices from Apple sync only to one computer. If you sync to a different computer, all your music will be replace with the music from the new computer's iTunes. If the music were purchased from iTunes, you can re-download them again otherwise the music on iPod touch will be deleted. Do you have iTunes backup?

I now have 4 itouchs, 1 ipad mini, and three iphones for my own family members. What's the bet way for me to setup itunes so that we can all share the same music, apps, movies, shows, etc?

I now have 4 itouches, 1 ipad mini and 3 iphones in use by my direct family. What's the best way for me to set things up so that we can all share the same music, apps, movies, shows etc?
I would prefer to have one account to input dollars which allows all the users (my direct family) to share and buy things.
Can we all have different user ID's however share the same account?

I'll try to help a bit.
ITunes match space is different to icloud space. With iTunes match you get storage for 25,000 non iTunes purchased tracks and other than a limit for individual file size, there is no memory limit.
You can turn match on individuallyon each device (I have it turned off on my iPod but turned on on my iPad and iPhone). When you turn it on then you get access to all the tracks, and in my experience any playlists I create have transferred over very well. I understand that some people have had trouble with playlists though.
I'm not quite clear with exactly what you mean regarding cleaning up your library, but be careful about using Match for this. There is no guarantee that matched songs will be exactly the same version as your own copy, due to some mismatches, so you could find some problems there. Personall, I am cleaning up my library before matching, but I am rather particular about keeping my library the way I want it. If you aren't as fussed then match could be the answer.
Hope that helped.

Recently I have install windows 7 in my old laptop since then the program Itunes show one music library at the top of Itunes and another bellow my device. The problem is that I can upload music to the top library but I can't move them to my Itouch librar

recently I have install windows 7 in my old laptop since then the program Itunes have 2 libraries one at the top which I can put in new music and the other just below my I touch device botton. The problen is that now whenever I upload music is going straigh to the top library and from there I can't move it to my Itouch library. Before I never have problems cause I could only see one library and not 2 like now .....HELP !!!!!

I do not understand what you mean about two libraries. Can you post a screen shot?
Maybe this will help with your problem

How can I get my iTouch to show on my computer screen? What cable is needed and where I can get it. (Apple to female VGA)

Trying to get my iTouch to show on my computer screen NOT A TV.
Please help I think I need a female VGA to a apple connector anyone know?

Media was moved via external hard disk, and I think I moved the iTunes Media folder after consolidating it.

I just went from an ITouch 2G to a IPhone 3G and used the restore option to transfer my apps and info and now my itunes shows the iphone as an ipod how do I make it see the iphone

My Iphone 3G shows up as an Ipod after I used the restore feature on iTunes to transfer my apps and info from my old iTouch 2G. As a result I can't go to "ringtones" because it does not show up in itunes as it still thinks I am connecting the iTouch?

You also want to move/copy the iPod backup file from the old computer to the new on. It is located:
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Note: If you do not see the AppData or Application Data folders, you may need to show hidden files (Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7), or iTunes may not be installed in the default location. Show hidden files and then search the hard drive for the Backup directory.
After you move your music and other stuff to the new computer, restore you iPod from backup and sync.

Events not showing in iCal, but do on my iTouch Calendar

I am syncing my iCal 3.0.7 with GoogleCalendar using Calgoo connect 2.1.3. It uploads new events to my gCal, but if I create new events in gCal, they won't show up on iCal. I thought this was a Calgoo problem, but when I sync my iTouch with my computer, the invisible events will become visible on the iTouch, but still invisible on iCal.
Any ideas? Is there a setting on iCal to make certain events within a calendar invisible that I'm missing? All the "hide to do" options in iCal preferences are unchecked.

I found this solution in another discussion. It's from this website: http://iphonewriter.blogspot.co.nz/2008/05/how-to-fixing-ical-iphone-sync-issues .html)
"You'll know the syncing issue when you see it, because the new events you enter into the Calendar on your Apple iPhone will not appear in iCal. Said another way, you'll enter a new event into your iPhone, use iTunes to sync with your Mac (or MacBook in our case) and the new event on your iPhone will not show up in iCal. Keep trying, synch as you might, iCal and the Apple iPhone just won't get along.
Here's the down and dirty fix:
Open iCal and backup or export your entries. Make a note of the fie name and location, you're going to need them in a minute. Once your backup/export is completed, close the iCal application.
Open Finder and remove everything inside the "Username/Library/Calendars" folder. For instance, if your username is "Joe", then move everything inside the "Joe/Library/Calendars" folder.
Open the iSync application. It's located in the "/Applications/" folder. Once iSync is opened, go into the iSync Preferences (iSync -> Preferences) and push/click the "Reset Sync History" button. Then, close the iSync application.
Re-Open the iCal application and Restore your calendar. When prompted, use your notes from Step #1 to select the file your created earlier.
At this point all my appointments were showing up properly in iCal, and did not disappear after syncing again with the iPhone.

ITouch doesn't show up as a device in iTunes

My sister registered and installed my new iTouch. It used to show up as a "Device" on iTunes, but no longer does.
I've downloaded the most recent version of iTunes and restarted both the iTouch and computer. When I do plug in the iTouch, I only get the computer's "Auto-Play" message asking me if I want to import pictures, download from files, etc. It's the same message I get when I plug in a flash drive or my camera.
I realize this is not the most complicated question posted here : )
Help?

2G itouch does not show on mycomputer or in itunes when trying to sync

Just back from vacation and itunes 9.0 available so I upgrade. Having not synced for a while i try but the PC restarts itself. Once started neither Itunes or Mycomputer sees the ipod and so cannot sync. When connecting the ipod to the PC I get a different beep noise to what you usually get when attaching an external drive through a USB port and the computer shows no sign of a drive attached. When I remove the ipod I do get the usual beep noise you get when removing an external drive from USN port.
I have tried:
1/uninstalling and re-installing itunes
2/deauthorising and authorising computer in itunes
3/different cables
4/different USB ports on the PC
5/powering off the itouch
...probably tried other things too but lost count.
Anyone help ?

I had a similar problem the other day when upgrading from 3.0 to to 3.1 and then then my ipod touch wouldn't even turn on.
When connecting the ipod to the computer and holding down the ipod power and home buttons for 20 seconds the computer would beep but perform no action and itunes would not recognise the ipod.
If you right click on the usb connections on your computer you may find the computer is not recognising the ipod correctly if so you will need to update the drivers these are located in c:/program files/common files/apple/mobile device support/drivers
just point windows to that directory and it will load the driver usbaapl.sys
reconnect the ipod and hold the home and power buttons again
then once windows has identified the ipod correctly press the home button and itunes should identify your ipod which it will then reformat.
It worked for me and after that finally loaded 3.1.1 correctly.
good luck hope this solves it.
let me know if it does.

When I add to my iTouch playlist is doesn't show up in iTunes

I like to manually manage my music so I dont use the sync option and never have, but for about a year now when I add a song to my playlist on my iTouch and connect it to iTunes it doesn't show up under "on this iPod". It use to bout a year ago, but after one of those updates it just stopped doing it. Also, when I add a song, iTunes updates ALL my songs, videos, apps and it backs it up... EVERY SINGLE TIME. I have over 3000 songs and it become very annoying to wait 10 sometimes 15 minutes just to add a 3mb song. I gave up a decided to sync everything to see if the problem would be solved but, not only did my music get wiped but it tooks hours to add all my music back AND it still wouldn't sync the playlists. Help!!!
PS. I consider myself to have a lot of experience with the iTouch and iTunes, so don't post stuff like: "reset your iTouch" and "re-install iTunes" unless you KNOW it will work.

They will only be on your computer's iTunes if you put them there. If you are in a country where you can re-download music then they should show under the Purchased Link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes.

HT203180 I recently purchased television shows from the itunes store and downloaded to my macbook pro. They will not sync with my itouch. It worked in the past, and now it won't. I also used to get two downloads for each purchase. An HD and non HD ver

I am purchasing tv shows from the itunes store to my macbook pro. I can't sync them to my itouch. I used to get 2 version to download an HD and non HD no longer happening. What is the problem? Never had an issue before just started.

You did everything 'right' and yet in most cases such as you present, it turns out to be a bad SATA cable 99% of the time.
I, too, have a Late 2011 15" model and never had a problem with my SATA cable and my SSD. Most people don't. But then there are those few who do.
You can likely find a 'warrantied' cable on www.ifixit.com - however, I've never heard of anyone having problems with the much less expensive options on eBay!
