Syncing TV shows bought on iPad to iTunes

I purchased a season of a TV show on my iPad and downloaded the episodes directly onto the iPad.
Now I have connected my iPad to my computer, these are not syncing in iTunes.
In the "TV Progrmmes" section in iTunes, the "Sync TV Box" is NOT checked, which I know is likely the cause.
HOWEVER, if I check the box, I get the warning: "Are you sure you want to sync TV programmes? All existing songs, films and TV Progrmmes on the iPad [My iPad's name] will be removed and replaced with TV programmes from your iTunes library".
I therefore have not applied this change, because I don't want to loose the episodes I have downloaded.
I downloaded the episodes in iTunes on the iPad using the same iTunes account as on my computer.
Is there somewhere I should be able to re-download the episodes if they do (as the warning suggests) get wiped? I can't see this at the moment, and my biggest fear is losing the TV show and not being able re-download it.
Any illumination anyone feels they can shed on this issue would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Dan

In iTunes on the left hand side where you see your iPad turn up when you plug it in
Right click and select transfer purchases from the list.

You have no choice but to lose your data back to the last backup you made.
Here's how to do the recovery. Note you may have to try to get into recovery mode more than once to succeed:

I'm sure next time, you'll be more vigilant about keeping current backups.

Do you have restrictions enabled on your iPad? Go to Settings>General>Restrictions and see if you have it turned on. If so - see if you have installing apps turned off. If you do, turn restrictions off on your iPad and that may do it for you.

Can't sync TV Shows to my iPad (EU and US Account)

I decided to buy some tv shows with my us itunes account, so i created a new user on my mac, because switching countries in the iTunes store stops iTunes Match but thats a different story... So now I moved the TV shows to my itunes library on my normal user account (which is a swiss itunes account), because thats the library that is synced with my iPad. But when i try to sync the shows iTunes asks me if i want to switch libraries...
Why do i get this error? And how can i get the shows on my ipad?

This is a known issue that happens all the time. You will probably just have to keep trying until it goes through.

The photos won't get lost.
You don't sync photos to the computer using iTunes.
Import them to the computer like you would with any camera.
Then delete them from the iPad and re-add them using iTunes. This gets them out of the camera roll.
See this -> iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer

Whenever I try to sync either my iPhone or iPad to iTunes, I keep getting the message, "the iPhone (or iPad) cannot be synched. The required file cannot be found." My music will sync but none of my videos or photos will. Help me, please!

Whenever I try to sync either my iPhone4 or iPad I get the following message. "The iPhone (or iPad) cannot be synched. The required file cannot be found." My music will sync but none of my videos or photos will. Please help me somebody. Thanks.

I'd read a few of these other threads and make sure you really want that update

Issue syncing Aperture library to iPhone/iPad using iTunes

I have about 23,000 images in my Aperture library (currently running v.3.6), with the images sorted into projects, with the title of each project beginning with a date in this convention: yyyy-mm-dd. I have about 800 projects in my Aperture library, and with that kind of naming convention, it is very easy to sort the projects in chronological order.
When I sync my Aperture library via iTunes 12 to both my iPhone 6 and my iPad Air, both of which are on iOS 8.1.3, the 800 projects are not listed in that chronological order. Rather, the order that they appear to the viewer is completely random. As I look at Photos on my iPhone right now, for instance, the following projects are next to each other: 2008-05-04, 2006-10-01, 2014-03-22, 2011-05-20 and 2009-01-05. This makes it impossible to find the the project that I am looking for (imagine wanting to show someone one project out of 800, and not having any idea where it is).
This has happened on an off throughout the history of iOS - i.e., with some releases, all of my projects will sort in this order, and then with a new release, boom the sort order has been broken. It's been broken since the release of iOS 8. Any thoughts?

Try posting this question in iPhone forum.
Also, have you reset your iPhone? (hold the power and home button together for several seconds until the unit shuts down, then followed by apple logo)
After that, if it still gives you the same issue, try restoring your iPhone via iTunes. That usually takes care of all ills.
Cheers

Problem while syncing photo to iPhone and iPad. ITunes 10.3.1 mac

It never happened before but just happened today with iTune 10.3.1 mac. I am using it on 10.6.8.
Between last time and now, I did update some mac 10.6.8. and today some java for mac os. After syncing photo to iPad today, I noticed some photos are incomplete. Half of the photo is white. Some with complete photo but incomplete thumbnail. It happened to 30-40 photos out of 1200+. I deleted ipod photo cache and resync the photo but it happened mostly to the same photos that had problem with slight variations. I tried the same with my iPhone and had the same problem. I tried 3-4 times and the problems remained. So I can only suspect that something went wrong while iTune optimizes photos.
The only way to solve this for now is to remove the problematic photos and resync them one photo at a time. Anyone noticed similar problem please give me some advice.

I have the same issue and tried all of the following without success (hoping to save others the hassle):
Rebooted phone
Restored phone and imported backup
Restored phone with no backup and imported photos
Moved photo folder elsewhere on machine and tried to sync it
Tried variety of folders with different images from different devices
Restarted Mac
Repaired permissions on mac
Ran Disk Utility and repaired hard drive, found a few issues
Deleted iTunes Cache
Deleted iTunes related plists
Deleted iPod cache each time
Ran TouchCopy and deleted the photo plists forcing the phone to rebuild the database
Turned syncing of photos off and on again
Ran all weekly/monthly cron jobs
New iphone 4 at Apple Store still repro'd
And so on . . .
Other notes:
Synced to iPod Touch I have and the same photos synced just fine
Restored phone as new and synced on another computer the same folder of photos that I copied over to it and it worked, but it is my husbands computer that I don't keep my photos on/use for syncing normally
Imported the same folder to iPhoto without copying the photos and it works, but I don't want to use iPhoto so not an option for me. Or using a different computer also worked, but not an option.
I went to the genius bar as well after trying all of the above and they had no idea and had not seen this. It appears to be more of a computerissue than an iphone 4 issue though. I say this since putting the same files on another computer (my husbands) synced fine to the phone. They replaced my iphone 4 and the issue STILL repro'd with nothing else on the phone with my computer.
Config:
MacBook Pro purchased December 2010, 10.6.8, latest software updates installed, iPhone 4 latest updates installed
Still troublehooting

How do you sync your music from your iPad to Itunes

Somehow when I synced my iPad I lost all of the music on my computer and it was all transferred to my iPad. I also want the music files on my computer.

If the songs were purchased from iTunes, you can download them again in iTunes or you should be able to transfer the purchased songs back to iTunes from the iPad.

I have no idea why you would lose the music in iTunes. It makes no sense.

How do I transfer my TV Shows from my iPad to iTunes if File Transfer won't work?

I just got a Macbook 4,1 from ebay which came out in early 2008. Ironically, this machine is way better than my Netbook from 2009. I couldn't store all my videos on my old Netbook because I didn't have enough room and am now trying to transfer all my videos to my new Macbook. Since my Macbook is old enough, all I have on it is Leopard and not Snow Leopard, so I can't just transfer everything the easy way. I tried to transfer videos off my iPad onto my Netbook, which has had almost everything deleted off it, but iTunes won't let me. How can I transfer the files if file>transfer doesn't work because it says I don't have enough room?

How much free space do you have on that Mac ? If you don't have enough space on it then you will either need to delete more of your content off it (an hour's long HD programme can be about 2.5 gig), or if you have an external drive you can could try telling iTunes to use that for its library (Advanced tab in iTunes > Preferences, command-comma).

How do I sync my photos to my iPad using iTunes 11?

I don't know how to do this with the new upgrade. Anyone know?

I don't have a photo tab...I have everything else in the drop down list, but no photo tab
I finally figured it out - I didn't know I could open my device by clicking on it in the top right of the screen. Once I did this, I found all the familiar tabs across the top and was able to choose the photo files and sync link before.
Thanks for you help!

The last time I synced my iphone with itunes, I lost all my contacts, photos, calendar, and voice memos. This time I lost all my apps and the music isn't synced. Also, I just bought an ipad, and it won't sync at all.

Syncing iPad to iTunes music library won't work

Hi there. I am trying to sync one of our two iPads to iTunes - it works fine for photos but, when trying to sync the music library, although the blue audio bar shows that the songs are on the iPad, they don't appear in the Music app on the iPad - any ideas?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder and try again.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

IPad does not show up in devices under itunes, cannot synch

The initial time I plug my mom's iPad into her laptop her iTunes does not auto launch like it should, so if I launch it, it doesn't show me devices so I cannot mannually start to synch. Help!

Two things: if Preferences have been changed in iTunes to not sync automatically upon connecting the iPad then iTunes will/should not launch. You have to do it manually. I suspect the setting is not the problem so see here-
1. Make sure that your device is not hidden (left hand pane). If it just reads device then toggle between SHOW and HIDE.
2. Try all the other ports on your computer, even a number of times.
3. Make sure your lead /connections are not faulty.
4. If you have another computer try plugging your device into it without taking any action, give it a moment, remove it and try it back in your other computer again.
5. Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes installed.
6. If using Widows, make sure all Windows Updates are installed.
7. Failing all that, see here - http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538 for Windows and http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1591 for Macs
8. And failing all that put the device into Recovery mode. See here and note the paragraph 'If you restore from a different computer.... ' down near the bottom of the page -
