Problem syncing TV shows onto iPod

I can sync my movies and music all onto my ipod, but I cannot sync my TV shows, even ones that I purchased. The TV shows have a little blue circle right next to each episode. I can watch the show on my computer and access the file on my computer, but cannot load them onto my ipod.

I had auto sync on lol!

Problems syncing TV Shows to iPod Touch

I am having issues syncing my TV shows that I've purchased on iTunes into my iPod Touch. I get a pop up window that says: The episode was not copied to the iPod because it cannot be played on this iPod.
I just purchased this iPod yesterday, I've updated the software and everything else that I have synced has worked. What is going on?!?

don't give up so easily
first take a look @ iTunes. do you see this ?
if so, check your iTunes media (or music folder). open the folder for the tv show in finder. do you see this ?
if not, the SD versions may still be in the pipe. check your settings in iTunes > preferences > store. is +automatically check for available downloads+ enabled ?
you can check any time you like from the store menu.
if still no joy, access your +purchase history+ via (your) account in the iTMS and click on +report a problem+. report the problem.

Can't sync tv shows with ipod

I am trying to sync TV shows I purchased and downloaded from iTunes with my ipod nano. I select "Devices", "TV Shows", check "Sync TV Shows", then then check TV shows I want to sync, and select "sync". The status bar indicates syncing, determines tracs to sync, and completes sync. But no TV shows are on my iPod (checking under Video, TV Shows). I've also tried to drag the shows from the library to a playlist. They showup on the playlist on the computer, but not on the playlist on my iPod. I am not having problems syncing music. The TV shows are animated Bugs Bunny episodes.

Holmanranch,
Do you have the Sync only checked songs and videos option ticked from under your iPod's Summary tab as well? If so, that could be a possible cause.
One thing you could try is to remove the tick mark next to Sync TV Shows and apply the changes to remove any and all TV Shows from your iPod. Then reapply the tick mark and again sync the changes to your iPod and see if that makes a difference.

Computer crashed before I could sync new songs onto ipod

I was wondering if there is a way to effectively "repurchase" the songs I just bought, without actually paying again. I purchased a bunch and burned them onto a CD before I lost my entire Itunes library in a crash. Unfortunately, that CD has some sound quality issues, I think because I burned it at maximum speed, my bad.
I feel like Itunes should be allowing me to get those songs without having to sync them from my Ipod, as in, I go into my Itunes Store purchase history and put those all on my "new" library. Is this just wishful thinking?

You could try contacting the iTunes Music Store Customer Service and you might be able to persuade them to sanction a second free download. There have been occasional reports in the iTunes forum of this happening, however just be aware that they are not under any obligation to do so: iTunes Store: Purchased content can be downloaded only once
If you click on the link at the bottom of this page you'll be able to email your query: iTMS Customer Service

Question: Problem Syncing some songs in ipod nano 6th gen

Hi all,
So I've been having some problems syncing songs over to my new Ipod nano 6th gen. Whenever I try to sync, this message pops up:
This happened before with another song, and I just ignored it, and after checking my iPod, it had synced anyways. However, some songs do not seem to do this. I've tried changing the file format from mp3 to wav, finding other copies, deleting it from iTunes and then re-loading it. Nothing seems to work. The songs that won't sync work fine on iTunes, and I can play it from my computer, whether from iTunes or Windows Media Player, but it refuses to go on my ipod. >.< If anyone has encountered this problem and knows how to fix it, help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Did you actually add these songs to your iTunes library and move their physical location or is iTunes referencing them in another location? Sounds like the latter in which case they won't be synced to the Nano.

Problems syncing yahoo contacts to ipod touch Model MB5286 Version 4.2.1

For the last 2 years I have had no trouble updating my yahoo contacts to my ipod touch. I just plugged in my ipod and away it went. More recently, the iTunes format appears to have changed and I no longer see the same iPod information menus as before. Last month I tried syncing my ipod to my computer to update contacts and now my contacts list is empty on my iPod, even though the status line during synchronization shows that "syncing contacts" is being done. I've updated my iPod passwords under "settings" to match my Rogers Yahoo email account as I thought that may have been the problem.
What is odd is that I now have a new, more updated iPod touch and it syncs just fine. Any ideas as to how I can get the contacts back on my older model MB5286 (it's only 2.5 years old).

Try here:
iOS: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim
However, it is frequently a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Unable to sync TV Shows to ipod video. New hard drive

I had a bad hard drive and recovered the data. iTunes has all the music and Tv shows that I saved and the I had purchased. All music syncs to ipod but TV Shows won't.
when i try to deauthorize, the error message is:
*We could not complete your iTunes Store request. You do not have enough access priviledges for this operation.
There was an error in the iTunes store. Please try again later.*
I am logged in to the store also.

Incredibly, Mike 57's technique works. What's even more incredible is how such a huge bug - failure to sync purchased movies upoloaded from iTunes - got into a production release.
Whoops, I forgot! This is Apple, the company that can do no wrong. Mindless loyalty to Apple has let them get away with such foolishness for decades. I wonder how many Apple TV units have been returned because of this bug. Thousands?
No problem for Apple, with 100 million iPods out there and the kewlest corporate image in the biz. These days, as in the past, brand image is more important than reality.

HT1848 Problem sync purchased album to iPod

I purchased an album through iTunes but it won't sync with my iPod. It is on my iTunes library. I tried to drag it since it would not sync and it did not allow that either.

there is defiantly no problem with too many authorized computers, because apple would just wipe all of the computer's authentications and start from 0. does your advanced menu show that your computer or does it say "deauthorize computer," because if it is the latter, that means that your computer is authenticated. i am not sure what else you could try, except deauthorizing your computer and reauthorizing. this would be the easiest step.

Problem syncing itunes 12 with ipod classic on a PC

Hi I just purchased a new Lenovo Yoga Pro 3 and installed the latest itunes 12 on it, but it won't sync with my ipod classic. The itunes detects my ipod classic, but won't sync the music files and just ejects the ipod instead. I have tried installing an older version of itunes onto my computer (version 11) but version 11 won't work on this laptop. Please help!

Unfortunately I cannot get the movies to play through Quicktime at all on the PC - the movie seems to play (timer runs and the little triagle moves), but all I get is a blank screen... The first time I tried to play one of the files, QT told me I may need to download additional codecs (although it did not indicate which one) - and directed me to the third-party codec download site. However, after downloading several of the different codecs, the .mov files still won't play through QT on the PC.
Rule of Thumb: never download codec components arbitrarily. Since the files load into the QT Player, what you should have done was open the "Inspector" window and check the "Format:" entry to see which codec was used to compressed the video and then download the "correct" QT codec component and only the needed one.
Is it not possible to get these files to play on a PC since they were imported and made on an iMac with iMovie?
I would tend to suspect that you may be using an HDD or DVD camcorder here. Basically, the MOV file container is generic and can hold any valid combination of audio and video compression formats. DV would have imported as DV content. AVCHD or HDV would have imported as AIC/AIFF content which is normally supported intrinsically by QT. On the other hand, the content from MPEG2/AC3 based camcorders employs a special iMovie '08 import/conversion module which converts the AC3 to AIFF and the MPEG-2 "P-frames" and "B-frames" to "I-frames" which effectively turns the video into an M-JPEG track but leaves it labeled as MPEG-2 content which would likely confuse the QT Player. Further, if iLife '08 itself installs the playback component for this compression combination, you may not be able to locate/install a Windows version of this playback codec at all and may end up having to convert your DVD stored MOV files on an iLife '08 equipped Mac.

Problem syncing from iTunes to iPod - authorisation error.

42 of 625 songs won't transfer to iPod when trying to sync. I've got the latest version of iTunes, reset & restored my iPod & made sure my PC is authorised, but error window states "you are not authorised to play these songs on this computer". Any help would be gratefully received. Thanks.

Hi Firefly999,
Have you tried re-authorizing your computer? To do that:
First off, disconnect your iPod from your computer.
From the Store menu in iTunes, click on Deathorize computer....
Enter in your Apple ID & password to deauthorize ths computer.
Then, go back to the Store menu again, and this time select Authorize computer....
This time, authorize your computer.
Close iTunes and any other running applications, and save your data. Restart your computer.
After your computer has fully loaded up, open iTunes, and connect your iPod to your computer.
Try syncing those purchases to your iPod, and see if there's any difference with this problem.

Problem syncing music on my ipod touch4th from itunes

hello, I have an ipod touch bought in december 2011. It has always been working fine with itunes, my last transfer of music was on 10th of December. I've tried to transfer more music from itunes manually (uploaded three cds on itunes) on to the ipod but the music shows grayed up with a little circle in front of the track.
So to summarize, music is transferred on ipod but is not accessible or playable, even though it shows up on ipod but grayed. I tried to delete an older track which was fine and re transfer it and it's appeared back on but grayed. My itunes version is 11.1.3. Have you heard of similar issues? I'm not sure what to do about it, if it's anything to do with the mavericks update? Also when doing it on iphone 4, it works fine.
thanks for your help.

To sync to your iPod go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Sync your iPod....>Sync You Device> and follow the instructions.
I do not understand what you mean by: "expot it from my purchased music".
The following describes how to redownload purchased media.

Problem sync contact to my ipod

my ipod video was mostly used with my PC. Recently I got a macbook, and think it would be cool to have all my contacts and calenders on my ipod, so I connect my ipod to mac and used iTune to sync my contacs and calenders. Everything from my iCal was treansfered to the iPod, but only a few of my contacts were transfered. I am not sure what was preventing the transfer to complete. One thing I need to point out was that half of my contacts were in a language other than English. I do not think this was the problem though, since some of the contacts in the other language were transfered as well.
Any inputs will be greatly appreciated.

I have the same problem. Did you figure it out?
