Sorting TV Shows on the iPad?

Has anybody else noticed strange sorting issues with TV shows on their iPad? If I have multiple TV shows, they seem to sort themselves randomly and even shows that contain multiple seasons are not grouped together.
For example, I have (left to right)
The Colbert Report
Mad About You Season 1
Desperate Housewives
I Love Lucy Season 1
Whose Line Is It Anyway
I Love Lucy Season 2
Mad About You Season 2
Family Guy
Will & Grace
I Love Lucy Season 6
Does anybody have any ideas why this could be? All of these are either purchased from iTunes or converted and, to the best of my knowledge, contain all the appropriate metadata. Thanks!

You are most welcome

Sorting TV shows on the iPad air does so by season

I've been on the internet for days and I know there has been all sorts of talk on different sites about the ipad video app and how it sorts TV shows not purchased from iTunes. All the talk I see deals mainly with episodes not being sorted in order which I am not as concerned about.
My issue is that when I am in the video app, my movies and music videos show up just as I would think they would.
When I click on TV shows, I have one folder/block showing the total number of files.
When I click that, I have multiple folders showing Season X (different Season #s). When I click on a Season, all the TV shows of a particular season are in that folder. It's annoying.
I just want the name of the show to be there, go in and see all the seasons.
I've tagged all these things to show the episode name, season and number correctly. I don't know what else to do.
Is this how they show up or do I have some setting incorrect?
Thank you.

That makes perfect sense. Like I said - maybe it was me and the way I was reading your post.
I know you said that the shows don't appear in iTunes on your computer - but If the shows appear on the iPad - You can delete TV shows directly from the iPad. Launch the Videos App - tap and hold down on the TV show icon and then tap the X to delete the show. Did you try to remove the shows this way?
If you want to redownload the shows at a later date, you can do so for free in the iTunes Store on the iPad - or in iTunes on your computer - if you live in the U.S.
The other thing that puzzles me is why the TV Shows did not transfer from the iPad into iTunes when you tried to manually transfer the purchases.
You don't have two different iTunes accounts in iTunes on your computer do you? Or does someone else that you live with use a different iTunes account on your PC?

Assuming you're using Apple's Mail on your Mac, go to your Mac's mail Preferences (from Mail on the menu bar).
Click Accounts on top, then click your email account on the left.
Then click Advanced on the top.
Check "remove copy from server after retrieving a message" and set the line below it to "immediately".
That will do it.

How do I Remove The Play button & White Screen that shows on the IPad?

Can anyone tell me how to remove the play button that apears on a white screen before the course starts? it only shows on the iPad and if this is going to be published as an IOS app using phone gap build i dont want this to show.
I have found some javascript that i have tried but it dosent seem to remove the white screen or browser warning does anyone know the correct javascript to use?
Current Javascript:
http://floatlearning.com/2013/10/a-more-mobile-friendly-captivate-html-template/
<script type='text/javascript' src='assets/js/fastclick.js'></script>
<script type='text/javascript'>
$(function() {
FastClick.attach(document.body);
$("#CPUnSupportedBrowserWarning_ID").remove(); // Removes browser warning
cp.movie.play(); // Skips play button screen
</script>
I am using the latest version of Captivate 7.0.1 on Mac

Restoration is relatively simplistic. Here's whatcha do. Plug your ipad in, open itunes, now if itunes doesn't recognize it then you may have a problem, anywho, click on the ipad in the devices interface and go to the info tab, click restore, and it'll be just like it was when it left the factory. To get you data back, it should ask if you would like to use a backup, just select the backup you want and you'll be good to go. That is if you regularly backed up your iPad.

I recently downloaded 2 audiobooks on the ipad2. I synced to the computer. They show on the computer under books, but cannot find them on ipad..anyone know where I find them?

If you are on iOS 5 then they should be in the Music app under the More button - if there are audiobooks on the iPad then there should be an Audiobooks option under More. If you are on iOS 4 then they should be in the iPod app.

How do I get images of movies to show on the ipad video selection screen.

All I get are the titles and a black box showing theres something there but I would like to see an image. My daughter cant read so she cant choose by picture..

In iTunes on a computer, right click on the movie, select get info.
In the tabs that are present, select art work.
Hit the add button, navigate to the image and press select.
When you load it onto the iPad, that image should display.
Media purchased from iTunes should already have art work.

Why are the text and graphic elements are not showing on the iPad

I have a slideshow of pictures full bleed on my inDesign document with text and graphics on top of the pictures (not part of the slideshow).
When I preview on the iPad all I can see is the gallery of images?
Is it not possible to put text on top of a slideshow?
Here it is as it appears on InDesign...
...and here as it appears on the iPad...
Any ideas? I'm pretty new at this, but I couldnt find anything in the forums
Many thanks for reading

They're called overlays for a reason. You'll need to change the text to an MSO as well.
Select it, create a new MSO, set it to play once no delay, no crossfade.
Other choice would be to put the text into each state of the MSO.

App store says app is installed but it doesnt show on the iPad

How do I fix this?

Restart the iPad and see if the icon appears
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
If you still can't find it - do a search. Swipe to the right from the home screen and type the name of the App in the search fails. If it appears, then you know that it is on the iPad.
Swipe from screen to screen and look in all folders as well.
Do you have restrictions enabled?
