Seeing double & triple entries in iTunes TV Store

For some reason today, I'm seeing double and sometimes triple entries for episodes in the TV shows section of the iTunes store. For instance, on the show Damages, I see "1 Pilot" repeated three times and "2 Episode #0101" repeated twice. That's a total of five entries in the list but only represents two actual episodes.
I'm seeing the same thing in virtually every other TV show I look at. Grey's Anatomy Season 1, for instance, is doubled with 18 entries for the 9 actual episodes... each one listed two at a time.
Here is a screenshot:

My wife checked from her iTunes and is not seeing this. I'm also NOT seeing it in Podcasts, Music, etc. Just the TV listings of the iTunes Store.
Any ideas?

Ok, this is ironic... half of what I wrote didn't appear in the above paste. So now I'll be making a double entry for this post. Not my day, apparently...

Why can't I see any Apps in the iTunes App Store?

When I go to the iTunes Store, I can see selections for all categories (Music, TV, Movies, Books, etc) but App Store is blank. I have tried to sign into my account, but it endlessly rejects my password. Password works everyplace else - iPhone, iPad, all Purchases etc. HELP!

Run Software update from the Apple menu or update yrou signature (it shows 10.8.2).
What country store?

HT201272 i can't see my purchased apps in itunes on new ipad when I go into the itunes store. It shows nothing. I haven't changed my ID or country of purchase. It shows that I would have to rebuy them when I go into the store.

i can't see my purchased apps in itunes on new ipad mini. when I go into the itunes store. It shows nothing. I haven't changed my ID or country of purchase. It shows that I would have to rebuy them when I go into the store. Is there something in settings on Itunes I need to change? I do not have cloud.

Yes I am looking in the app store. When I look in Itunes on my computer and look at purchased apps it is there. And when I go on my other device and look at apps purchased all apps are there.
The new ipad doesn't show any apps purchased when I click on apps purchased and when I search the app store it doesn't show it is purchased. I am wondering if I am just missing something...need to turn something on in options or something. Never had this problem with previous ipad when I set it up.

Why can't I see my podcast in the iTunes store

When I click on the link provided by Apple I see my podcast in the iTunes store, but when I just try to drill down to it through the iTunes menus I can't find it. I've noticed that there seems to be a maximum of five pages of podcasts for each category. Does this mean that there are other podcasts out there that you just can't get to without doing a search or something?

What are you trying to do exactly and how are you trying to do it? You want to view artwork for tracks that on your iPod in iTunes? Why would you want to do that when you can just do that from your main iTunes Music library?

Let Apple know your views about it at

To create a book for all devices, you need to do it in .epub format. The apple app for that is Pages.

ITunes UK store PG rating, DVD from amazon is 12 rating? how come?

iTunes UK store PG rating, DVD from amazon is 12 rating? how come? different movies?
Looking to get this for my young son, checked on DVD and says 12 rating, whereas in iTunes UK store its a PG? so how come the difference? these ratings are very different ie PG and 12, (he's 6 btw).
so is iTunes store got all the nasty (good!!) bits out? why is this? is this common all the time? first time I've noticed
cheers

Hi, you don't mention the name of the film in question, but I would suspect that it is a slightly different cut, although it could, I suppose, be a data entry error at one store or the other. Ratings are set by the BBFC not the stores so the same title should match wherever you buy it from unless they are significantly different versions. You could search for the title at http://www.bbfc.co.uk/search/ to see if there is any more information.

How can i get to itunes to store all data on an external drive

how can i get to itunes to store all data on an external drive rather than the drive ITUnes run off. I can get photos and music off but my apps and movies seem to go to the drive where itunes is run from?

See if this helps:

ITunes, app store, iBooks store, etc won't load and I can't figure out why. I tried rebooting and it didn't help. Everything else works fine. Help please?

iTunes, app store , iBooks store, etc won't load and I don't know why. Everything else works fine, and I've rebooted it. The problem is still there and I know I have a good Internet connection. Help please?

Have you tried disconnecting and re-connecting to your network ?. And when you say rebooted do you mean a reset ? If not then try that : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
You could also try closing those apps completely. From the home screen (i.e. not with any of those apps 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the iTunes, App Store and iBooks apps to close them, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.

Can't download anything from itunes/app store after 5.0.1

I've read a few discussions on this topic but have yet to find any solution that works, so I'm reposting hoping someone has an idea.
We have an ipad 16gig, and recently updated to iOS 5.0.1. (via WiFi, this isn't a 3G model). Immediately after setting up after the update, the iPad can no longer update apps, download new apps, download iBooks, download songs, podcasts ... basically anything from the iTunes or App store. All are met with the message:
"Unable to Download (name here) - (name here) could not be downloaded at this time." with a Done or Retry button.
The same thing occurs for all apps, music, podcasts, etc... same message each time.
During the setup after the update was installed, we agreed to the new iTunes/App Store agreement, so I don't think it's that case where iTunes can't do anything because the Agree option got lost somewhere. I also don't have any downloads pending that need to be paused.
Solutions I have tried so far:
1. Restarting and resetting the iPad, both via the power button, and holding down the power button / home button.
2. Signing out of iTunes/App store, re-signing in, with two different Apple IDs.
3. A full restore of the iPad from my computer via iTunes.
4. Attempting to buy something free from iTunes or the App Store (somewhere this was suggested as a solution). Some descriptions of this solution implied it was to force itunes to ask you to agree to the new TOS, this hasn't happened, and we agreed to the new TOS when 5.0.1 started up.
5. Resetting my router. Didn't think this was the issue but did it anyway.
Googling the issue, apart from the above solutions, I've encountered something about "permissions" on a folder to which apps are downloaded being set wrong by the update, but I have no clue how to address that, it seemed to have something to do with "jailbreak" ipads of which this is not.
I'm about ready to take it to the Apple store but I was hoping I could find something online first, and spare confusing some poor Apple employee.

I found a solution, and it's horrible.
1. Back up your data. I used iCloud, but I also made a restore file through itunes, though you CAN'T USE THAT RESTORE TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. It will just install the problem anew! Delightful!.
And then, basically do this: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137 which translates to:
2. Settings > General > Reset > Erase all data
3. Set up your iPad as a new ipad - if you choose to restore from an old restore file, you'll just reinstall the original problem.
4. Connect to iCloud to reclaim your iCloud stuffs.
5. Spend the next hour annoyed and frustrated as you restore your music, photos, apps, etc... to what you think you had them.
But miraculously, this let our ipad download apps again.
Again, restoring from a backup will not fix the problem.
All this speaks to some issue that requires the drive on the ipad to be reformatted with new permissions, or something, which is pretty **** annoying. Waiting to see the problem re-appear after it's finished syncing my music. Hurray!

Can I add movie to Apple TV without itunes or store

I would like a movie to reside on my apple tv but i dont want it on my computer. It is not available to download from Itunes. Is there a way to put it on the atv without having to sync. I have tried to add it to my itunes library, sync it through the movies tab, delete the movie after it has synched, then stopped it before it could sync again telling it to delete it. Eventually it syncs without my help and deletes the movie. Any ideas?

AppleTV is nit designed to work like that.

No.

Syncing implies that the AppleTV is in sync with iTunes, if you remove it from iTunes it assumes you don't want it on AppleTV either.
Two workarounds:
1 - Assuming you have a copy of the video backed up somewhere, once you've added it to iTunes and synced to AppleTV, right click on it's entry in iTunes to locate the actual file in iTunes library. Next, manually delete the file from it's location but don't delete the entry in iTunes. iTunes will not delete the file at the next sync - it just can't find it. Ensure your sync settings are such that this movie won't automatically delete when AppleTV fills up or after it's watched if you have a near full AppleTV.
2 - Store the file on an external USB drive. Change iTunes Preferences so it doesn't copy the file on import to it's library. Add the file to iTunes - it will just store a reference to the file, sync to AppleTV. Eject external drive.
Net sync the movie stays on AppleTV because there's still an iTunes entry for it - the file just isn't available at this point.

Smart family iCloud/apple id/iTunes/Apps Store setup?

Currently, we have the following setup:
Apple ID 1: (gen.appleid), used for:
Mac App Store for all compurers (desktops & laptops)
iOS App Store purchasing on Mom & Dad accounts on both Macs and their iOS devices
Apple Developer / Apple Seed
iTunes purchases on central OS X Server Computer including Match. This central server runsalways and can be accesses on all iOS devices for Remote, and from AppleTV. Mom and Dad thus have a full copy of their Music library on each account on each desktop
iTunes purchases on Mom & Dad OS X accounts on both Macs and their iOS devices.
Used as general Apple ID by Dad (e.g. find my iPhone etc)
Used for Home Sharing
Apple ID 2: (mom.appleid), used for:
Nothing specific yet
Apple ID 3: (dad.appleid), used for:
Nothing specific yet, an not even sure it exists already
Apple ID 3: (child1.appleid), used for:
iOS App Store purchases of child 1, has no credit card attached but gets money on it via gifts
iTunes Music / Video purchases of child 1
Apple ID 4: (child4.appleid), used for:
iOS App Store purchases of child 2, has no credit card attached but gets money on it via gifts
iTunes Music / Video purchases of child 2 (each child has his/her separate iTunes Library with apps & music and own iOS Device(s)
All iOS devices are synced with their owner's OSX account.
User accounts are accounts with Portable Home Directories so everybody can log in on any deskotp/laptop at home and away and get his/her own home directory there. Very nice, even if PHD syncing is not extremely robust.
This is a bit of a mess.
Mom & Dads photo's are separated, but they should be shared. There are two cameras, one used by Mom, and one by Dad and the photo's are in each account and sharing is a pain (and duplicates a lot)
Mom & Dad keep separate full copies of the large iTunes database. These are synched/matched via the gen.appleid account, but it takes up a lot of space.The large iTunes Library has one copy on the central server and two on each desktop.
All the other iCloud things are not used (e.g. calendar syncing etc.)
What is a good setup and how can I get their from this setup?

I assume you are all using one ID at the moment ([email protected]) for iCloud, iMessage, FaceTime and iTunes.
If your husband created his own ID ([email protected]) and your daughter her own ([email protected]), then you could do the following.
iCloud. Each of you use your own address, this keeps your contacts, calendars, photos, documents etc seperate, it also gives you all your own 5GB of cloud space for this data and back ups of your devices.
iMessage. If you want to see your daughters messages, then I'd suggest you and your daughter logs in with [email protected] and your husband with [email protected]
FaceTime. You can't really monitor FaceTime by sharing an ID, so I'd suggest you all log in to FaceTime with your own ID's.
iTunes & App Stores. I'd suggest you all use [email protected], that way you all have use of the existing purchases of apps, music, books etc.
In order to share your calendars, there are two ways.
1. You (or/and vice versa) could use the share feature in the calendar app (Tap calendars at the bottom of the calendar screen, then tap the i next to the calendar you want to share and add your husband to the shared section on the next page).
2. You (or/and vice versa) can add [email protected] to your device as a secondary iCloud account (settings > mail, contacts, calendars), this allows you to share mail, calendars, contacts, reminders and notes, which you can enable individually as you wish.

New Episodes of my Podcast are not showing up in the iTunes Music Store?

this isn't really an "itunes for mac" question, but since i do my production on a mac, i'll ask it here!
i produce and record a weekly podcast (about 2 hours each week) which has been listed in the iTMS since it started (last february)
this last week we recorded episode 31 and uploaded it to my .mac account, and all went well... the new episode is downloading to anyone who already has subscribed to the rss feed (homepage.mac.com/airplayradio/podcast.xml), but it hasn't shown up in the iTunes Music Store... the software i use to upload the shows generates an automatic ping, and i've done a manual ping a couple of times a day since wednesday, but nothing...
any ideas? absolutely -nothing- (software/hardware/etc.) has changed since i uploaded episode 30 a week ago, and that showed up within an hour...
many thanks for any advice!
cheers
robin
PowerMac G5 Quad Mac OS X (10.4.8)

well, i never got a reply directly to my question, but i was directed by email to post my problem within itunes... go to the podcast page of my podcast and then select "report a concern"... i always thought this was to report offensive podcasts, but if you click on that button you'll see a pull down list with a bunch of problems... i selected "difficulty downloading" and then explained the problem completely... as i said, i never heard back from anyone, but about 4 days later my podcast episode showed up... and this past wednesday we uploaded the latest episode and it showed up in the iTMS almost immediately... go figure?!
if anyone's interested, the podcast name is Schnauzer Logic and its comedy and talk and music and pop culture (i used to be the host of a morning show)... good for a giggle once a week for a couple of hours.
cheers!

Infact I now see that calendar entries updated in iOS 6 are all uneditable

Infact I now see that calendar entries updated in iOS 6 are all uneditable

Force-closing the calendar app should and toggling iCloud syncing of your iCloud calendar shouldn't have effected your On My Mac entries as they are not synced with iCloud. Open your calendar, tap the Calendars button on the top left and make sure you have selected to view your On My Mac calendar. If it's not, select it and these calendar entries will be restored.
You may want to make an appointment at the Genius Bar at a nearby Apple store to have them take a look at your phone. I'm not sure else to suggest short of restoring it.
