Problem with iTunes and Tv Shows

Hello, i've just installed the last version of itunes and when i select tv shows as my video type, the video stays on my ipod but i can't acces it. The Tv Shows folder is not created and i can't find them in any other video folder. Is there any other way to create the tv show folder since i can't buy tv shows from itunes because i'm from canada, because i would like to import my seasons of "La vie, La vie" and it's 39 episodes so i would like to be able to make tehm their on folder.
Thanks
(Sorry for my poor english, but as you can see with the title of my show, english is not my primary language)

The TV show option seems to only work for those purchased through the ITunes store. I understand the option is there, but it doesn't work. What I do is rename the file before adding to my IPOD. Keep it under "Movies" and type "TV Show - Then Enter the Name of Show". This way you can scroll straight to the TV Show items under Movies. I use this method and have categories for Cartoons (for the kids), News, Family Videos etc. So if you were to go to my IPOD and hit Movies you would see this:
Cartoon - Bugs Bunny
Family Video - Thanksgiving 04
Family Video - Easter 05
Family Video - Christmas 05
Movie - Shaw Shank Redemption
Movie - War of the Worlds
Movie - Saving Private Ryan
News - Car Chase in Montana
I hope this helps you organize your files better.

Problem with iTunes and iPhone Music organization. PLEASE READ AND HELP!

Hello All!
I have this problem concerning iTunes and my iPhone. When I add music, and I update the Artist title to organize it in my iPhone, It shows EDITED on my mac in iTunes, but not my iPhone. I took a screen shot of what It shows. The TOP is iTunes showing "Arie Dixon" and "Arie Dixon & Olivia Cipolla" two seperate CD's, yet different Artist Titles, just the way I want it. The BOTTOM shows how the file was originally, in 3 seperate titles, "Bebe Boohgz" "The Jackmove 3" and "Arie Dixon 'Bebe Boohgz' and Olivia Cipolla". The problem is that iTunes shows it in the correct title, but my iPhone won't. This is my 2nd iPhone 4 I have that has this problem. I'm not sure if it's the settings or encoding, can someone help me out? I can't be the only person with this problem. Apple rep looked at me like o_O
I also have music that won't appear in my iPhone, I manually have to search for, but appears on my iTunes in the correct title.
I also have everything updated, and have the new os x release.

So plug the device into the computer and upgrade.
Are you getting a specific error message when trying to do this?
As for the message about the media disappearing, of course it will. This is how iOS upgrades work. The device is wiped and the newest version of iOS for the device is installed as a "new" device then the device is restored using the backup created prior to the upgrade.
All the content on the device should already exist in iTunes on the computer.
If you want to move your iTunes library to a different drive for capacity reasons, do the following:
Close iTunes
Copy or Move the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the C drive to the other drive.
While holding SHIFT launch iTunes. iTunes will then prompt the user to select a library or create a new one. Point iTunes to the new iTunes folder location.

A possible reason to problems with HomeSharing and TV shows

I discovered this bug and it may account for some of the problems people describe having with HomeSharing and TV shows (Shows or episodes missing when accessing a homesharing library).
If one selects one or several TV shows (individual episodes or whole season) in iTunes, only those selected will be visible when accessing the shared library from another mac. To fix it, I have to disconnect from the shared library (clicking eject arrow), deselect the TV shows (in list view using the column browser, select All Genre, All Shows and All Seasons) and then reconnect to the shared library.
This problem dos not occur with Movie or Music files.
The problem do not apply if accessing the library from an iOS device (iPod Touch,iPad2,iPhone4, iPhone5).
The library is shared by a Mac Pro (mid-2010, 10.8.2, iTunes 11.0.1(12)) and the problem occurs when accessing the library from a MacBook Pro, iMac and Mac mini (all using iTunes 11.0.1 under 10.7 or 10.8). All TV shows are home-ripped or home-recorded and do not use any DRM.

If i select music on my machine using the column browser then only the selected music appears under music on in the home share on my wifes machine. If I select the top entry eg Steve's Library then everything shows.
Just tried it for TV Shows and it does the same
Resolved it by removing any selection on my machine, Ejecting the Home Share on my wife's machine. Re selected the Home Share and it reloaded the full list

Problem with itunes and iphoto after time machine restoration

After an apocalyptic type meltdown in my hardrive the other night, I now have a new one. I have restored as much as I had backed up using time machine when I turned my computer back on for the first time. However in iphoto it lists all the different albums I have, but all the photos come up as grey squares. They are definitely on the computer as you can see them in the iphoto originals folder in the finder window.
A similar problem with itunes. My itunes library is totally blank, with no songs whatsoever. However the songs are there in itunes music folder.
How can I restore everything back to normal?
Matt

Look at Q15 here. http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html
There are separate sections for iphoto and itunes.
It has to be so complicated because Apple made TM to do too much and be too many things to too many people.. a horse designed by a committee. It has become flakey in later editions.
If you still have the iMac you can move the files directly from the source.. you don't need to use TM backups at all.

Problem with iTunes and low quality playback on headphones

So I have an awesome pair of Phillips headphones that are awesome and recently i've been using my headphones and noticed that during playback the audio quality was not what it used to be. Crackily on the high notes and fuzzy on the bass notes plus overall just bad quality. I investigated more and isolated the problem to itunes and not my headphones. They work perfectly on an ipod or when I play a video on youtube. So I am wondering what is wrong. I assume it as something to do with iTunes. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
-Winfield

I did try adjust the sound enhancer originally (should have noted that). It helped with some of the notes, did not fix. Where is the equalizer in 10.6?

Multiple problems with itunes and ipod touch

I don't even know where to begin explaining all the problems I've had with itunes and my ipod touch, along with the troubleshooting that I've done to no avail. Now, I'm totally frustrated. So, here I am hoping that I can get some help from someone. I spent almost $400 for my ipod touch and don't want to have to give up on it.
First, in case you need to know, I have the latest version of iTunes (10.2.2.14), an iPod Touch. My Windows edition is Windows Vista with Service Pack 2. My system has the following:
     Manufacturer: Hewlett-Packard Company
     Model: m9150f
     Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU   Q6600 @ 2.40GHz 2.40 GHz
     Memory (RAM): 3.00 GB
     System type: 32-bit Operating System
Next, in order to simplify what I have to say, I'll just briefly tell you what problems I've encountered, what I've done, and the results:
     1.     iPod not displayed in Computer when plugged into USB port
     2.     no device displayed in iTunes
     3.     unable to sync music and photos from my computer to iPod
     4.     have gone through and completed all troubleshooting two times to no avail
     5.     lost all settings and apps on my iPod and can't restore and/or retrieve them (my fault for erasing the info)
     6.     can't get iTunes to recognize(?) my iPod, after plugging it into the the USB port, in order to possibly restore it to working order
If I haven't provided enough info, please let me know.
I'll appreciate any help that you can give in order to resolve these issues.
Thank you.
Chris

A problem with Itunes and adding music to library

I've been using my Ipod touch for about a month now (recently purchased). I first connected my Ipod to my laptop, because my desktop needed a format and reinstall of the OS, so I wanted to be slightly organized with it. I finally got around to formatting the desktop to WinXP pro, and have all my programs installed successfully.
Here's the issue:
With my laptop, I could start Itunes, and I did NOT have every song I have as my library, only a few songs that I personally selected and added to library (by clicking on "CTRL+Highligh" or File-->Add file to library). When I did that, I could hold down CTRL and highlight up to 15-20 songs at once, and have them show up in my library as added, then sync them to my Touch.
Since coming to my desktop with my Ipod, and moving all my music from my laptop over to my desktops C: drive, I've hooked up my Ipod and (of course installed Itunes) authorized my desktop for my Touch.
I begain selecting the music I wanted...My directory setup is as follows:
My Music: folders inside of
Itunes directory
Mp3 Directory
My Itunes settings are selected as My Music-->Itunes as the folder. I open Itunes, select add song to library, and it only allows me to highlight UP to 5 songs at once and add them. Any number between 1 and 5 songs will add to my library just fine. If i try to select over 5 songs, like 6-20 songs at once (using CTRL) it does nothing, and doesnt place any of the selected songs in my library. It will allow me to select individual songs just fine, and like I said, I can select UP TO 5 songs, highlighted with CTRL, and they show up just fine (all 5 songs will show in the library.)
Any number of songs selected with CTRL over 5, does nothing.
I dont understand why, when I used this very technique on my laptop, and I could select up to 30 songs at once (using ctrl+highlight) and they would ALL show up as they are supposed to. Everything is nearly the same on here, my settings are all pretty much the same as my laptop's settings were...anyone have any ideas? this has been bugging me all morning, and I've spent so much time fooling with it that I only have 56 songs out of 6,000 on my Ipod touch (I also decided to rid myself of music I didnt listen to and restored/formatted my ipod so I could start over)...I need more than 56 songs, but I dont want to do them 1 or 2 at a time, then go back and have to hit CTRL+O or File--->add file to library.
What causes me to be limited to 5 or less songs per time to add to my library?

Because I wasn't aware that the library could be "taken" from pc to pc. The processor on my desktop is also hyper-threaded, which simulates it having 2 processors..and moving file NAMES, not moving the files into the library is NOT a processor intensive function. It's actually just taking the file location - directory, and name, and making it show in the library..not moving the actual file itself and making a copy of it in the Itunes folder. I do NOT allow itunes to make copies of files that it keeps in the library (I uncheck allow Itunes to organize and make copies of files added to library).
So adding to my library is as simple as making the library show the file name, and pointing to the location on disk, not actually making a copy of the file in the background and placing it into a folder inside the Itunes folder.
Had I KNOWN I could take my library off the desktop and move it, I would've made it easier on myself, but I thought I posted that I just recently bought this Ipod touch (about a month ago).

I had problems with iTunes and supposedly got it fixed. Now I cannot get into my mail. It has changed my id to an unusable email address.

I cannot get into my cloud mail. It wants me to log in with an email that no longer exists. I had this problem with iTunes also. I do not wish to use that address. I want to use the ID and password I have been using for the past 2 years.

Click on that Apple Id and then Sign out from that Apple Id and try to Sign In with your New Apple Id and see if that works.

Problem with iTunes and not transferring media.

This is differnt since the media it won't transfer has already been on the iPod once before. My iTunes won't tranfer some of my songs (that it did before) and some of my TV shows (that it did before as well) for some reaon or another. I have them set for autosync, no manual transfer, they are the latest episodes of the show, they are checked, and I have tried syncing it about eight times using different methods to get it to sync up. The songs a like every other song and not a problem with them.
Any ideas?

Everything corrected.

Syncing problems with Itunes and Ipod Help?

Okay..I don't even know what's been happening with the newest Ios 5 update for apple products, but since the update, my ipod hasn't been able to synch with Itunes.
For example, I manually organize all my music and when I edit the album artist or the album artwork etc, it would show up in Itunes perfectly, but on the Itouch, nothing has been changed. This means that not only does it now show the album artwork that I set up in Itunes, but also all the artists as well. I've seen many people so far having this problem, but through all the solutions people have said, none have worked for me. Another problem is that it also mix and matches all the songs I have downloaded as well. Only the songs I purchase seem to be alright.
I have tried many things from restoring my Itouch and re-downloading music, manually re-synching my Itouch to see if the artists will show up, but to no avail, it hasn't worked.
Please help me. It's getting quite frustrating that nothing is synching since the newest ios 5.1.1 update. Thank you

The ipod touch will only sync to one computer at a time. If you sync to another it will indeed erase the content from the ipod first, then replace with content from the new computer.
Sign into your account on the computer, make sure it is authorized, then connect the ipod:
Without syncing, File>Transfer Purchases

Problem with iTunes and/or updater software??

I just bought a brand new 30gig iPod video. I followed apple's "instructions" and installed iTunes and the iPod software off of the included cd. I then connected my iPod and it charged but itunes never recognized it. Windows can find it (it appears as an external disk drive in my computer and iPod in other places) but iTunes doesn't recognize it at all. I have tried resetting the iPod, uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes/ipod software using the install cd, i have tried downloading the latest software from apples website and installing it that way, I have tried everything but restoring the ipod because the updater software won't even work. every time I try to use it, it just says "Service Error". I really have no idea what to do. The iPod seems to work fine, it turns on, turns off, windows seems to recognize it, but iTunes won't recognize the iPod and the iPod updater software doesn't seem to work at all. The last thing I am going to try is wiping my computer harddrive (it needs it for other reasons, not just this iPod problem) and starting completely fresh with nothing or very little installed besides iTunes and the iPod software.

The article posted in the first response is a great place to start. If that doesn't work, try these out as well:

Problem with itunes and iphone 3g

I was trying to upgrade my phone to the next level so I could use icloud with it because I plan to get an iphone 5 and wanted to be able to have all my stuff on the new phone. When I tried to upgrade the phone a message pops up on the home computer and said if I continue the phone will lose all media? I had previously unsynced all photo albums except the camera roll. Now it will not even sync. It said I cannot back up to my computer. When I look at the itunes account it shows photos filling it almost completely. I have a c and d drive on my computer. I moved all the photos from c to d trying to make space and it didnt help.

Problem with iTunes (and all of iLife!!!) finding information on machine

I just bought a new G5 Black Macbook, and had the Apple Store transfer my old profile from my G4 iBook in the past week. When i picked up my macbook, everything worked fine and all the pictures, music and personal preferences were transfered, but in the past day all programs act like i'm a new user, and do not register any of my old music, photos, or preferences. My iTunes library is located in its usual place, and all music is there, but Itunes seems not to see it, the same goes for iPhoto.
The two things that have happened in between the computer working fine and this problem are: I have installed Growl, and renamed my home tab in finder. I'm not sure if either of these played a part, but its changes that have been made.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to to solve this problem, or should i just take it all back to the Apple Store?

Well all the songs are Mp3s, but I will try a CD. Also, as I mentioned, I tried a few converters for the videos, and Videora was one of them. The videos that I converted with Videora don't seem to want to import to iTunes, and the .mov files won't sync (For obvious reasons now I guess). I tried reinstalling iTunes and all sorts of stuff but they just don't want to work
