The "TV Shows" category on my Ipod video menu disappeared

I forgot when this happened but the "TV Shows" category disappeared from my ipod menu. Now my purchased tv shows is no longer in my ipod but still appears in my itunes. Does anyone know the solution for this problem?

The same thing happened to me. Connect your iPod to your PC and open iTunes. Once iTunes recognizes your iPod, click on 'Display iPod Options'. You should get a tabbed menu. Click on Video. Check off the box Update All. That will put the TV Shows list back on!

60GB iPod Video menu disappeared after update

I just received my 60GB iPod yesterday. I downloaded the new software update from Apple and updated it. After I did that the Video option on my menu disappeared. I still have the video in itunes but it is not on my ipod anymore.
HELP! New user and this was a main purchase reason. Thanks for any assistance.

I have new ipod video and had issues so I used the updater that was included, dated 6/05, I now have a ipod video with software version 1.2 and it thinks it is an older ipod photo only. Now that it is installed in the ipod the updater assumes it is an older ipod and restore doesn't work (except to restore it to version 1.2) I am so frustrated I could scream. Apparently the new updater 10-05 is ok, as it would have restored to the correct software but now, it's too late! any ideas? What I need is a restore function that puts back in the version 1.0 software for the ipod video, but there is no such thing.

Nothing happens when i click on the TV Shows category.

They're definitely in the right format, iTunes reads that they're there, and whenever i highlight "TV Shows", it shows the backgrounds of the shows hovering in the background. But when I click on the "TV Shows" category, nothing happens. Help?

What it may be is that you're videos are not tagged specifically has TV Shows, and they'll show up in the Movies instead of the TV Shows section. This was the problem I was having, and I fixed this by going in iTunes and...
- Right clicking on any given video and going to "Get Info"
- Changing to the second tab.
- Changing the selector on top from "Movies" to "TV Shows" and adding all the ancillary information.

My ipod headphone jack is only allowing sound in one headphone. i tried multiple headphones to make sure it wasn't the headphone but the jack itself. i have a ipod video 5th generation.

Had you brought the same pair of headphones to the Apple Store with you and they worked there? If you hadn't, the wire or plug on those headphones may have failed. Try a different pair if you can and see if those work.
Hope this helps

Organizing your own videos into the TV Show Category on the ipod

I have a bit of a complicated problem. I want to organize some of my own videos onto the ipod under the TV Show section, NOT in the movie section. I have purchased tv shows from itunes, so that section is on my ipod. I've tried a million things, but it won't work.
Windows XP

right click, get info, option tab, then change the type.

How do I move my home videos to Movies from the TV Shows category in iTunes?

In itunes on my iMac, most, but not all, of my home videos and homemade slide shows have been saved in the TV shows directory rather than the movies directory. I've tried to move them to the movies directory in iTunes, but they won't be moved. How can I move them, and then have the moves reflected on my iPad?

Select the shows in your TV Shows library. You can select several adjacent shows at once by holding the shift key. If they are not adjacent, hold the command key and click on each. Open the Multiple Item Info window (File menu > Get Info or type commamd + I). Select the "Options" tab. Check media kind and use the adjacent menu to select Movie. Cloick "OK" to save your changes. The shows should automatically move to the Movies library.

Transferring iTunes Store Protected TV Shows to the TV Show Category.

I bought about 10 episodes of Lost before there was a separate TV Shows category in the iTunes library. So they are now protected in the Movie section. Is there a way to move them to the TV section even though they are protected?
I know that if it's not protected you can change it under "get info>video."
I'm not trying to burn to DVD or illegally share them or anything I'd just like them to be in the right section with the rest of my TV shows and play in the right section of my iPod.
TIA

There's no reason I can see that they won't sync.
Plug your iPhone into the computer and open iTunes if it doesn't open for you.
Select the iPhone in the left hand column
Click on the Video tab
Pull down to "All unwatched" or something like "3 most recent unwatched" and click on selected TV shows then select "The Daily Show..."
Once you're done you'll probably need to resync. Click the Apply button in the lower right hand corner to do this.
Hope that helps!

Can't upload TV Shows to new 30g iPod Video

We just purchased the new iPod Video (30g) and in Windows XP, iTunes 7 all of the songs and music videos uploaded. However, none of the TV Shows uploaded.
Any ideas?

The only other thing I can think of is listing the past history:
1. Had an iPod Mini before and older version of iTunes.
2. Purchased the TV Shows before buying the new iPod Video
3. Upgraded to iTunes 7 and then sync'd to new iPod.
TV Shows missing on iPod
Could the older iPod be the problem here? Are the shows flagged as not being available to upload to the new iPod?

Some artists won't show on 30 gb ipod video.

The last few artists on my ipod like zz top and those down there show up on my ipod when hooked up but not when un-hooked. Answers are appreciated.

This isn't foolproof but there are usually two things that contribute to songs not appearing under Artist on the iPod, both due to information either in or missing from the Get Info>Info tab against the song in iTunes. 1) the song has no album name associated with it or 2) the song is marked as part of a compilation.
If tracks are missing an Album name in the Info tab, this information needs to be filled in. The no album one is a bit quirky as the songs will appear under certain circumstances but the simplest remedy is just add None or Miscellaneous to all the blanks in place of a title. See this link for more detail: I don't see some of my songs when browsing by artist on my iPod
Also if the tracks are ticked in the Get Info>Info tab as part of a compilation, they will not appear under Artist on the iPod. Highlight a song in iTunes that you know is not appearing correctly on your iPod. Right click on it and choose Get Info and click the Info tab (alternatively choose Get Info from the File menu), if "Part of a Compilation" is marked untick it and afterwards update your iPod, you should find it now appears as normal. Compilations are stored in a separate folder in iTunes so the songs don't appear inside the normal Artist>Album folder.

Why doesn't itunes put my TV shows in the "TV Shows" section of my ipods?

Every single video I drag onto my ipods (I have 4, 3 classics and 1 nano) via itunes goes straight to the Movies section. I drag them into TV Shows and they don't appear there, they go straight to the Movies section. None of them are movies. Itunes won't allow me to drag them from Movies to TV Shows either.
How do I fix this? Is there some flag itunes is looking for to categorize them as TV Shows? They were all converted via handbrake with ipod presets.

I have an iPod touch and none of the music shows up on my iPod but does on computer after synching. Never did this before. All music appears gone. Can u help?

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

HT1363 My ipod touch 32GB keeps clicking and won't turn on or charge even though power is getting to it. The screen shows a sad face ipod.

We have an ipod classic with wheel. It keeps saying low battery even though I have had it charging for ages. It also makes this clicking sound but refuses to do anything else. I can't get any screen to show except a sad face ipod and the "low battery" screen. I have tried to do the restart option but it makes no difference. Help!

About the TV Shows in iTunes when iPod is connected.

There is always a place the let me choose or to name the video whether it is a music video, TV Shows or a common video clip in my iTunes before.
But, after I did update my iTunes to Version 8.0.0.35 days ago, there is no more choice to let me select the video clip to those categories(Music Videos, TV Shows or Videos) and the lines of those words or the title of the choice of the categories were disappeared.
So, I wanna know the way to fix this problem. Can anyone help? Thanks a lot.

Thanks very much The problem solved!

My ipod touch will download songs from itunes, but has issues with songs from my CD's.The songs show up on my ipod

My ipod downloads songs from itunes and plays them just fine. However, when I added my songs from my CD's to it, they downloaded but don't play like they should. They either don't play at all or randomly play in the middle of the song. It has nothing to do with the start time either because they all say that they start at 0.00. I synced the CD's correctlly, so that is not the issue. The songs from the CD's never start playing when I choose them. What can I do to fix this issue?

Have you looked at the discussions on the right side of this page under the heading "More Like This" with your same problem?
