The "TV Shows" category on my Ipod video menu disappeared

I forgot when this happened but the "TV Shows" category disappeared from my ipod menu. Now my purchased tv shows is no longer in my ipod but still appears in my itunes. Does anyone know the solution for this problem?

The same thing happened to me. Connect your iPod to your PC and open iTunes. Once iTunes recognizes your iPod, click on 'Display iPod Options'. You should get a tabbed menu. Click on Video. Check off the box Update All. That will put the TV Shows list back on!

Nothing happens when i click on the TV Shows category.

They're definitely in the right format, iTunes reads that they're there, and whenever i highlight "TV Shows", it shows the backgrounds of the shows hovering in the background. But when I click on the "TV Shows" category, nothing happens. Help?

What it may be is that you're videos are not tagged specifically has TV Shows, and they'll show up in the Movies instead of the TV Shows section. This was the problem I was having, and I fixed this by going in iTunes and...
- Right clicking on any given video and going to "Get Info"
- Changing to the second tab.
- Changing the selector on top from "Movies" to "TV Shows" and adding all the ancillary information.

I've lost the majority of the connections between my projects and items in the library (showing up as "missing files"). I've moved nothing. How can I reconnect? The items show up as missing in the library as well as in the "movie".

I am using the version 10.0.9 which might have been an automatic upgrade from my original version.
The majority of my connections between library items has been lost. The items show up as missing files both in the library and when I run my project. How can I re-estabish these connections?

Did you try using the relink function?

Transferring iTunes Store Protected TV Shows to the TV Show Category.

I bought about 10 episodes of Lost before there was a separate TV Shows category in the iTunes library. So they are now protected in the Movie section. Is there a way to move them to the TV section even though they are protected?
I know that if it's not protected you can change it under "get info>video."
I'm not trying to burn to DVD or illegally share them or anything I'd just like them to be in the right section with the rest of my TV shows and play in the right section of my iPod.
TIA

There's no reason I can see that they won't sync.
Plug your iPhone into the computer and open iTunes if it doesn't open for you.
Select the iPhone in the left hand column
Click on the Video tab
Pull down to "All unwatched" or something like "3 most recent unwatched" and click on selected TV shows then select "The Daily Show..."
Once you're done you'll probably need to resync. Click the Apply button in the lower right hand corner to do this.
Hope that helps!

How do I move my home videos to Movies from the TV Shows category in iTunes?

In itunes on my iMac, most, but not all, of my home videos and homemade slide shows have been saved in the TV shows directory rather than the movies directory. I've tried to move them to the movies directory in iTunes, but they won't be moved. How can I move them, and then have the moves reflected on my iPad?

Select the shows in your TV Shows library. You can select several adjacent shows at once by holding the shift key. If they are not adjacent, hold the command key and click on each. Open the Multiple Item Info window (File menu > Get Info or type commamd + I). Select the "Options" tab. Check media kind and use the adjacent menu to select Movie. Cloick "OK" to save your changes. The shows should automatically move to the Movies library.

Organizing your own videos into the TV Show Category on the ipod

I have a bit of a complicated problem. I want to organize some of my own videos onto the ipod under the TV Show section, NOT in the movie section. I have purchased tv shows from itunes, so that section is on my ipod. I've tried a million things, but it won't work.

Tv shows category missing.

Help Please,
Just received 5.5G 30G video iPod.Bought 2 episodes of The Office and downloaded successfully to iPod. After docking to iHome clock radio, lost the two shows. Tried to redownload them with no luck. They are both checked on itunes. Tried resetting and then restoring. When syncing it will download all songs and podcasts but no tv shows. Then I noticed that the TV SHOWS category is missing from the video menu. Tried restoring again but category still missing. I did download the latest software. Hope someone can help. Thanks.

in the iPod Summary, click on the videos/tv shows tab. make sure it is set to copy all tv shows to iPod...not just unplayed episodes. The files probably got registered as played when you connected your iPod to your iHome and iTunes deleted them. Hope this helps.

Using the new AppleTV, I cannot seem to find the same TV shows on the iTune Store as the older AppleTV. The selection is far more limited. For example, Modern Family is not available ... Any reason why?

I recently upgraded from an older AppleTV to the new AppleTV. The TV Shows I can access through the new AppleTV are far fewer than before. For example, I cannot find Modern Family on the iTune Store, whereas I used to be able to find it on my older AppleTV. Any reason why the selection is more limited?

I just found out the answer to my own post by browsing through other discussions. Looks like the new AppleTV only provides access to rental TV shows. Can't purchase anything ... So, the selection is far more limited. It's a drag, but at least the mystery is solved...

TV Show Category?

I just wanted to know how do you get tv shows to show up on your ipod under this category because all i can find is movies and video playists...any help?

I think (but I'm not 100% certain) that the TV shows category only appears if you have any shows actually stored on the iPod.
If you have, where are these shows downloaded from?

HT1551 Hi. The TV shows icon does not appear on my home screen. Any ideas how I can locate it?

Icons are missing from my home screen.
The TV show icon was missing today. I updated with the latest software - now the TV and movie icons are both missing.
Can someone point this newbie in the right direction?
Many thanks!

Welcome to the Apple Community.
There are reports of TV Shows and/or Movies missing from users screens, initially it looked like this might be an issue in the UK only, but it may well be more widespread. It appears to be an issue that can't be fixed by the user, you will need to wait until this is resolved by Apple.

Tv shows tab is missing from downloads on my iPad

The Tv shows tab is missing from downloads on my iPad, how can I download previous purchases from my Mac without syncing?

It's also missing on my Mac in the purchased category under the new tab in the iTunes store......all I seem to be able to acces is my previous music,apps and book purchases - is there anyway to get movies and tv shows this way?

I have a 3rd generation iPad running iOS7.0.2, and since updating to iOS7, it will not mirror to an AppleTV. The devices will connect, but the video monitors show only a blank screen. The AppleTV's work fine with various other iOS & OSX devices. Ideas?

I have three AppleTV's where I work. I have two at home. I have an iPhone 4S running iOS7.0.2 which mirrors smoothly via AirPlay. I have a 2011 MacBook Pro and a 2011 iMac, both running Mountain Lion, both of which mirror smoothly through AirPlay. I have a 3rd generation iPad running iOS7.0.2, and since updating to iOS7, it will not mirror. The iPad will connect to the AppleTV, but the TV's and projectors only show a black screen when connected: the iPad screen looks as it should, except that the transitions become jumpy when connected via AirPlay. This is true on both networks: at home and at work. Another gentleman using the network where I work has the most recent iPad, also running iOS7.0.2, and he is having the same problem. I have tried to "Reset All Settings." I have tried to "Restore." Does anyone have any suggestions? Has anyone else experience difficulty mirroring the iPad through AirPlay since the release of iOS7.0.2?

No problems exists with the router (on either network described above) or the multiple AppleTV's which are able to mirror multiple other OSX & iOS devices seamlessly. The problem is strictly with the iPad and iOS7.

This is an iOS 7 AirPlay mirroring bug...
To make matters worse, the iPad automatically drops its mirroring session 45 seconds after it auto-locks.
3-4 mirroring sessions is all it takes for the iPad mirroring to freeze up.
After this happens, mirroring to an Apple TV only projects a blank screen.
Once the mirroring is hung, the only way to fix it is to restart the iPad.
Apple please fix this iOS 7 issue!
