Podcasts and movies are synced to my iphone but do not show up in menus

Since upgrading to 5.1.1, I've noticed that movies and podcasts sync to my iphone, but do not show up in the corresponding menus.  I can search for the movies and podcasts and then play them, but when I navigate to the podcast page, it shows none on the iphone.  Same with movies...only the TV episodes show up.
I have tried restoring to factory settings, and that temporarily fixed the problem, but subsequent syncs seem to have undone whatever was fixed.

Since no one here can possibly know what you specifically mean by "tried everything that other people are saying", no one can determine what you did wrong.  Also, you didn't say what computer OS you use.
Read and follow ALL recomendations in the following aritcle appropriat for your computer:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows

  • I am using Windows XP on my laptop. Had to format the C drive. I have reinstalled iTunes but I am unable to add anything other than music, TV shows and movies to the iTunes library. It is not showing any option to add podcasts, books, photos or apps.

    I had to format the C drive recently. I have reinstalled iTunes but I am unable to add anything other than music, TV shows and movies to the iTunes library. It is not showing any option to add podcasts, books, photos or apps. These things are available on my iPhone but are no longer there in the iTunes library. Please help.

    In iTunes go to general preferences and check the boxes for those you wish to see in the library.

    You're using Exchange Active Sync to synchronize contacts and calendars with your company Exchange Server. If the default calendar/address books are set to the Exchange account, it will sync automatically. This is normal.
    Go to Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars to change the default address book and calendars to a something else, iCloud or something synced from your home computer instead.

  • I recently lost my iPhone and tried to use "Find my iPhone" but did not see my phone listed. Why is that?

    I recently lost my iPhone and tried to use "Find my iPhone" but did not see my phone listed. Why is that?

    If it is not turned on and connected to the Internet it will not show up.  If has been restored to factory condition it will not show up.

  • I'm using ADE with a Mac and have successfully downloaded library books for a few years; suddenly today the books are downloading to the Finder but do not show up in ADE so that they can be put on my Nook.

    Is anyone suddenly having trouble using Adobe Digital Editions on a Mac to download library books?  I have been using this to load books on to my Nook and suddenly, out of nowhere, everything is downloading to the Finder app.  ADE pops up like it always has when I download from the library website, but the book does not show up there.
    Has something changed?

    1. iTunes won't offer cloud downloads for songs that it "thinks" are in your library, even if it "knows" the files are missing. If you've exhaustively searched for the missing files and there is no prospect of repair by restoring to them to their original locations, or connecting to new ones, then delete that tracks that display both the missing exclamation mark and are of media kind Purchased/Protected AAC audio file. Don't hide from iTunes in the cloud when asked, close iTunes, then reopen. You can download from the cloud links or iTunes Store > Quicklinks > Purchased > Music > Not on this computer > All songs > Download all.
    2. Why? Not sure, perhaps 3rd party tools or accidental key presses combined with previously hidden warning messages when trying to organize the library. There is a hint that using the feature to downsample media as it is synced to a device may also be involved, though I've not replicated it. Whatever the reason a backup would protect your media.

  • Yahoo Email and Calendar will sync to my iPhone, but Contacts will not.  Selection for "Default Account" doesn't even show in the Contacts section within Settings on the iPhone.

    I have always had my Yahoo Email, Calendar and Contacts synched to my iPhone.  However, I noticed some Contacts weren't synching from the Yahoo account to my iPhone, so I thought if I just deleted the Yahoo account and added it back, I'd be fine.  That worked fine for my Email and Calendar, but now I have NO Contacts from Yahoo on my iPhone.  When I go to Settings, under Contacts, it doesn't even have the option for 'Default Account.'  Help!

    Hello Marsha,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    It's not clear exactly what you're trying to accomplish here.  If you're wanting to set up SMS forwarding introduced in iOS 8, then please follow the directions below.  Also, your Apple ID should be an email address.
    To use Continuity for SMS and MMS with your iPhone and your Mac, iPad or iPod touch
    Your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch need to use iOS 8.1, and your Mac needs to use OS X Yosemite.
    Sign in to iMessage on your iPhone, your other iOS devices, and your Mac using the same Apple ID.
    On your iPhone:
    Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > You Can Be Reached By, and add a check to both your phone number and email address.
    Go to Messages > Text Message Forwarding, and enable the device(s) you would like to forward messages to.
    Your Mac, iPad, or iPod touch will display a code. Enter this code on your iPhone to verify the SMS feature.
    Connect your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac using Continuity - Apple Support
    Take care,
    Alex H.

  • My iphone apps are synced to my pc,but will not open on pc

    I synced my apps to itunes on my computer, but none of them will open on the computer. Why have a photo collage app if it won't open'

    So that you have a copy on the computer for backup or to transfer them to a different device. In some cases, it's also worthwhile to download them directly to the computer and then sync them to the device.

  • ITunes says syncing song cover photos but does not show up on my iPhone

    Everytime I have synced my iPhone onto iTunes it says it is syncing cover photos. It is the same ones over and over again but they don't get put on. Is it iTunes or my iPhone?

    I'm a bit unsure from your post which playlist is missing from where. If you deleted the "Purchased" playlist in iTunes it will be recreated next time you make a purchase. You can add your previous purchases into this list, and select it to be synced to your device. The "Purchased on <Device>" playlists are locked down and cannot be edited.

  • No new add ons are installing, they say installed but do not show up in add ons

    i installed adblock plus, block site, and something to open a new tab to homepage. they all SAY they are installed and restart firefox at the end of the installation. yet this has no effects, i see add ons, have no way to use block site at all, and my new tabs still dont open to homepage. so i went to tools>add-ons and none of the add ons installed even show up. just what was already there
    i dont know if this has something to do with conduit. i worked like 2 hours to get rid of it, deleting it from hkey registry, running a full scan with eset smart security 6, deleting all my cookies, my history, clearing everything in about:config many many times. still when i open a new tab it is in search:conduit even after disabling every single add on many of which have absolutely nothing to do with conduit. yet when i run firefox with ad ons disabled it goes away and new tabs open to the rectangles where you can pick google, yahoo etc. my preference would be for the rectangles to appear. but if i must i will use open new tab to home page add on. just the problem is that i cant install it.
    now when i search for conduit in about:config conduit came back yet again. guess i couldnt get rid of it after all! this is so frustrating. i really need someone who knows their stuff and i would greatly appreciate help. all previous posts i read on how to get rid of it all proved useless. why is there no solution to this problem?!
    right now i just want add ons to work because it seems that, at least for now, when i type something in to the url bar it searches in google, so if i can get new tabs to open in anything but conduit i guess i can ignore the fact that it is really annoying that conduit is still located in about:config. (oh and yes i did delete everything from add/remove programs realted to toolbars and conduit or whatever similar)

    oops my bad. first paragraph meant to say "i see ads". not ad ons

  • I just purchased Apple USB SuperDrive and connected to my Mac mini 2012 but does not show anything on the screen. Not sure if its working.

    I just purchased Apple USB SuperDrive and connected to my Mac mini late 2012 USB slot but nothing shows up on the screen.
    I have OS X versus 10.10.3

    The system bus and all connected products should appear in the system profile or in the
    hardware part of About this Mac (more info) and if that does not, restart the computer with
    the external Apple USB SuperDrive plugged in. •As a last resort, if nothing else, before a
    return trip to be rid of the SuperDrive, you could try a system management controller reset.
    The SMC reset is not a first choice, so I won't post a link to the support instruction page.
    A new Apple USB SuperDrive should be seen as hardware in system information report.
    Of course, an icon of disc media should appear once the disc is inserted into the drive, too.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • How do you export photos and movies from iPhoto to your iPhone? I synced the device and noticed that some photos and some movies from iPhoto on my laptop were not transferred to my iPhone.

    How do you export photos and movies from iPhoto to your iPhone?  I synced the devices and noticed that some photos and movies on my laptop iPhoto were not transferred to my iPhone?

    I am not sure, which answer you found - so just in case:
    If you sync your iPhone with the iPhoto library, the photos will only stay on the iPhone until the next sync and they are not in the Camera Roll. If you transfer using the Photo Stream, they will only be vidsible in the stream, until they are replaced in iCloud by newer content.
    So, if you want to transfer the photos permanently, save them to the Camera Roll.

  • HT1766 4 voice memos in iTunes backup from iPhone had ! marks and would not play so I deleted them and although they are still on the iPhone, they will not sync back to iTunes from iPhone.

    4 voice memos in iTunes backup from iPhone had ! marks and would not play so I deleted them and although they are still on the iPhone, they will not sync back to iTunes from iPhone.

    You may have to try deleting all the music from your phone (by going to Settings>General>Usage>Music, swipping All Music and tapping Delete), then sync it all back on with iTunes in order to fix this.

    (I think the daughter got he better end of the deal!)   I believe if you change the password and user id one of the devices it will stop that from occurring. But I'm not the one to tell you how to do it; someone like "Illaass" (Illaass seems to know how to correct / fix almost anything!) will know how if you don't. Just look for the "cat" icon.
