Out of Order TV Shows in iPod Classic

Here's an interesting problem that's really more of an annoyance than a problem that I foolishly posted in the iTunes section and not in this one.
For some reason on my 80gig iPod when I go into the tv shows I have such as Jericho it'll list it as normal, meaning that it starts with the Pilot and then lists each subsequent episode in the order that they aired on tv.
Then I'll go into another tv show and when I come back to the Jericho playlist they're in reverse order meaning that the Season finale is the first one and the pilot is the last one on the list.
My question is is this a commonn occourance and what can I do to correct it? I've tried rebooting my iPod but the problem still happens. I've also tried deleting and re-adding my tv shows to no avail. Like I said this is really more of an annoyance than a problem but any suggestions on how to correct this is much welcome.

I have the same problem with Season 3 of Battlestar Galactica. It lists the episodes from newest to oldest except for the first 4 episodes of the season which are all out of order. It even lists the dates they were listed as correct but it won't put them in the correct order. I sent an email to apple about it and they said I may need to contact technical support and pay for help. I figured I'd just ignore it since Battlestar Galactica won't be on iTunes next season since it's an NBC/Universal show and NBC is pulling the content. Which ***** because I have a credit of 8 tv show episodes and I was saving them for Season 4 of Galactica.

Transfer all of your content to the computer:
Tunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer

Then try turning the device off and on again. I'd leave it off for 10-15 minutes, but that is up to you:

If the item is still there, you may need to restore the device:

Hope that helps . Worst case scenario, you may need to write into iTunes support to see if they can also help!!

ITunes won't let me copy a TV show to iPod Classic

Hi,
I can't copy a TV show to my iPod using either the sync or manual method. Some other TV shows work fine, but not the file I want to copy! When I try to drag the file from my TV show library onto the TV Shows folder on the iPod, the file just "snaps" back and won't actually copy.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
GLenn

FIgured it out: the file was in HD format and the iPod Classic cannot play HD files. Downloading the SD version now...

Sync is grayed out. Can no longer sync iPod classic with iTunes.

No longer able to sync iPod classic with iTunes. The iPod is recognized, but sync is grayed out. Any help out there?

I have the same problem with my ipod nano. I downloaded tunes from my old pc. ITunes does not recognise it from my new pc and I cannot sync.

Trouble downloading new tv shows to iPod Classic

Am having trouble with my iPod Classic. Recently purchased new tv shows and successfully downloaded them to both my computer and iPad; but will not sync onto my iPod(although) there is more than even storage space available. Help!

Not all iTunes video can be transferred to iPod, If the video resolution or video bit rate beyond iPod limitation, even though they are mp4 video, you can't upload them to iPod. For example, some iTunes purchased movie are High definition movie, the resolution is too high to play on iPod, You can highlight the problem video in iTunes and choose Create iPod or iPhone version from the Advanced drop down menu. When the conversion process has completed, sync the new version to your iPod. For more info, here is a guide about how to convert and transfer video to iPod classic. Hope it helps. Feel free to email me if you need further help.

Can't Add TV Shows to iPod Classic

Recently, I downloaded from the iTunes store a couple TV shows. One was a King & Maxwell episode titled “Wild Card” that I missed a few weeks ago on TNT. The other was the pilot episode of Sleepy Hallow that aired on FOX this past monday.
While attempting to put those two shows on my iPod Classic, I got an error message that said “Wild Card was not copied to the iPod, Dad’s iPod, because it cannot be played on this iPod.” Same with the Sleepy Hallow Pilot.
Why is this. In the past I put shows on my iPod with no problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Does any error message pop up?
I've been there before, but the TV Shows didn't sync because of the resolution of the file (iPod supports 640 by 480 pixels).
There's a built-in converter in iTunes. Highlight the items you want to sync go to the Advanced tab and choose "Create iPod or iPhone version". This will create files that should work with your iPod...
If you try this, please report your results... some people (including me) are having problems with the process.
I hope it helps.

Download tv shows to ipod classic

I can't download a TV show onto my ipod classic, any ideas?

Hello TeresaEH,
If the show is in HD, you'll need to download the SD version of the show before it can be synced to your iPod Classic.
iTunes: Sync purchased HD videos to iPod or iOS device

HT1351 Some albums tracks are in the correct order in Itunes on my laptop but are out of order when input to ipod. How do I correct this please?

Some of my albums are not in the correct order when transferred from itunes on my laptop to my ipod classic. Can anyone suggest how I can correct this please

It goes by the Track # field, as seen in on a list in iTunes. So, make sure the Track # field is correctly entered for each song when you review the album on a list in iTunes. Also, make sure the Album field is entered identically for all the songs on the album.
You can edit those fields by doing a Get Info on a song, and going to the Info windows's Info tab,

Having trouble moving show to Ipod Classic

For some reason, I'm having trouble moving a purchased TV Show (Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog) to my Ipod. Everything else has transferred fine, but this just stays in Itunes and wont go anywhere. There's more than plenty of room available, so I'm not sure what the deal is. Any suggestions?

Hey, I had the same problem too, so I changed to option to sync all episodes instead. All 3 episodes are up, but they can't play on my iPod (iPod classic 5th gen 30gb). When I click on an episode to play it goes into the movie screen like any other movie but the screen just remains black for more than a few minutes. Anything I do to get it going just brings me back to the list of episode pages.
I've tried removing the show and re-syncing my iPod but to no avail. Can anyone help?!! I really want to watch Dr. Horrible!

ITunes Won't Sync T.V. Show to iPod Classic

All of my videos have been converted to a specifically Classic 5th-Gen compatible MP4 format, and I've had no problem at all with all of the HUNDREDS of others in my iTunes library. But for some reason, one particular show just simply will not sync to my iPod, and I'm at a loss as to why.
Once again: None of my videos were bought from the iTunes store, and the dimensions, container, decryption, and absolutely all details about the video formatting is identical to the many, many other videos which have worked flawlessly as they were all created in exactly the same way, so file parameters should not be the culprit here.
I have my library set to sync only checked videos (due to space limitations) and have checked and double checked and triple-checked that this particular TV show is indeed checked when the iPod is synced. I've tried deleting all of the videos from the iPod and then syncing JUST this show, to no avail; I've also tried deleting and resyncing ALL the shows. No matter what I seem to do, iTunes simply will not sync this show. I don't get an "iPod will not play this file" error message or any kind of error message at all, and the videos play perfectly fine in iTunes. When I sync, the episodes just don't sync--they don't appear in the iTunes header saying "Syncing video 1 of 13" or whatever the numbers may be, and the sync says it finishes immediately. I'm really at a loss here.
The iPod is (I'm pretty sure) a 5th Gen iPod Classic, and the show is the first season of Metalocalypse. Does anyone have any ideas what the problem might be?

I FOUND A SOLUTION. at least, I was having the same problem as yall, and I found a solution that worked for me, I hope it helps yall too.
My issue was that music would sync to my devices, but some of the playlists would not have all of the songs in them that they should have had. I looked at the playlists, that I was having issues with, and they were all complex smart playlists. Meaning they had multiple levels of conditions in the smart playlist settings, and itunes 10 does not seem to suppor that. To fix it, I went through all of those smart playlists and made new smart playlists that had the same (or as similar as I could get them) conditions to my old playlists. I then re-synced my devices and all my songs appeared in my playlists.
I dont know why, but itunes 10 no longer supports some of the smart playlist rules that older versions of itunes did, so hopefully updating your smart playlists will fix this problem.
Best of luck guys.
P.S. if you dont know what I mean by 'complex' smart playlist, here is an example of what I mean:

ITunes no longer shows my iPod classic. do I show it in iTunes and manage it?

I have just upgraded to Yosemite and the latest iTunes. But my iPod Classic is no longer visible in iTunes

Thank you. When I asked the question the icon was not there. I tried again a few hours later, before seeing your response, and it was. I have no time to experiment this morning. So maybe it was just a glitch of some sort first time. I am reassured that the new OS and iTunes is still compatible with iPod classic and should recognise it, but worried that sometimes it won't.

Smart Playlist is out of order when put on iPod

Hi, I'd like help getting my smart playlist in order. The criteria for the playlist is to be above 3 star rating, but I can't seem to tell what order the playlist is in; sometimes it seems like it's artist name, but then it sort of randomly changes. It looks normal in iTunes but when I'm using the iPod by itself the order is messed up. I don't use the sync function and don't want to. There was a way to get it in order on my old iPod, but I can't seem to remember how becuase it was stolen and I didn't have one for a while... thanks for the help.

I know it can be done, someone please help...

Can't add purchased TV shows to iPod classic

I have a 160gb. I downloaded a tv show earlier and I can't figure out how to add it. I went to the summary under the TV show tab, I saw where you can click and sync the chosen show, but for some reason its not syncing the shows I selected. What am I doing wrong? Please help!

Does any error message pop up?
