Trouble Syncing TV onto iPod

I bought a TV show from the iTunes store and want to sync it/put it onto my iPod Nano (5th Generation).
When I connect the device to my computer and go to Library > iPod (right hand corner) > TV Shows, the show I want to get onto my iPod is there, but when I hit "Sync" at the bottom, it does not transfer to my iPod.
In the settings on that screen, I have selected "Automatically include all episodes of all shows." I also have selected "Sync TV Shows ... 2 episodes."
If anyone could help, that would be appreciated.
Thank you

Greetings Joe B R,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that when you connect your iPod nano to your computer, iTunes does not recognize it. In this situation, I would recommend working through the troubleshooting steps outlined in the attached web link.

  • My itunes wont sync music onto ipod

    itunes wont sync music onto ipod because the file/disk could not be read or written...help me pleasee i just want my music onto ipod.. all the music is still on my itunes and i have like 300 songs but its wont go onto my ipod!!!!

    You can only drag and drop if you have iTunes configured to manually manage music. With the iPod connected to the compute go to the Summary pane for the iPod and check the box under Options that says sync only checked songs and videos.

  • ITunes deleted songs/videos/playlists from iPod touch and won't sync them onto iPod, but songs can still be played on iTunes however I just can't transfer them back onto my iPod. HELP!

    Hey, so I'm wondering if any of you can help me with this issue, I'd be unbelievably grateful for any help, I can't resolve it and I dislike my long commute without my iPod to listen to! Thanks in advance
    HOW IT HAPPENED: I had my iPod touch (32GB, 3rd generation) plugged into a speaker charging whilst playing music, and simultaneously I had iTunes (latest version for windows) open on my laptop (Dell - Windows). My iPod started to sync wirelessly with iTunes on my laptop and my music suddenly cut off.
    WHAT HAPPENED: Once the sync had finished, all (almost 4000) songs (and videos) had been wiped off my iPod (including any playlists) with the exception of less than thirty songs, all of which I'd noticed were songs I'd purchased on the iTunes store, a seemingly random selection though - some from a couple of months ago, some from a couple of years ago.
    I closed down everything on my laptop and restarted both laptop, iTunes and iPod then plugged my iPod in to sync. My iTunes library on my laptop is fully intact, complete with playlists, and I'm able to play songs normally from there, however despite numerous attempts, they just won't sync onto my iPod. Interestingly, no apps were deleted from my iPod. There's plenty of room on my iPod now, and even when everything on my iTunes library is synced onto it, there's still around 3GB space, so it can't be an issue to do with lack of space. I have no idea why it's happened, and the settings are for everything on iTunes to be synced to my iPod (I checked again) so it's not an issue with selective items to sync only either.
    A huge thank-you to anyone who can help me!

    I have the same problem!! only thing is that i have the ipod touch 5th generation and a mac. I've been trying to find a way to get all my music to play cuz it will only play on itunes but when i try to play it on my ipod it'll just show a circle with a red square in the middle next to the songs i cant play.

  • Trying to sync music onto iPod but iTunes 11 keeps crashing

    I am trying to sync my entire iTunes library music onto iPod but iTunes 11 keeps crashing (using Windows 8 laptop)
    I have tried to do it manually in little chunk and also tried the auto sync method too.
    I have restored my ipod to factory setting 12 times now and retry but just when I think I'm getting somewhere iTunes freezes in the middle of the sync and then tell me it "cannot copy  because of unknown error (-50)"
    From then on my Ipod refuses to accept any more syncing, it may do one and then it freezes again, iTunes says there is an issue with iPod, so I run a scan fix, it is repaired but then iTunes wants me to "restore to factory settings" again, it's a never ending circle, I get it fixed, iTunes crashes and then I have to fix, restore and start all over again just to have the same thing happen all over again
    I have read here and there that there seems to be a bug in iTunes 11 when it comes to syncing.
    I don't know what else to do, except revert back to iTunes 10 but I don't know how to do that either.
    Anyone else had same issue syncing their library over to their iPod and how I fix it?

    Hi, ktchinagirl. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    There are a couple reason this issue could be happening.  I have included a couple troubleshooting resources below that may help resolve this issue.  Some of the articles are missing the steps for Windows 8, try the steps for Windows 7 as an alternative. 
    iTunes: May become unresponsive when connecting iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3219
    Error 13, 14, 35 and 50 (or -50)
    These errors are typically resolved by performing one or more of the steps listed below:
    Perform USB isolation troubleshooting, including trying a different USB port directly on the computer. See the advanced steps below for USB troubleshooting.
    Put a USB 2.0 hub between the device and the computer.
    Try a different Dock Connector or Lightning Connector to USB cable.
    Eliminate third-party security software conflicts.
    There may be third-party software installed that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting one or more TcpWindowSize entries into your registry. An incorrectly set default packet size can cause this error. Contact the software manufacturer that installed the packet-size modification for assistance. Or, follow this article by Microsoft to reset the packet size back to the default for Windows:How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP).
    Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, bypassing any routers, hubs, or switches. You may need to restart your computer and modem to get online.
    Try to restore from another known-good computer and network.

  • Trouble syncing games in ipod

    I have games on my ipod but they don't list in itunes folder but the new game I purchased does. I just can't get it to sync in the ipod. can anyone help the lame?

    The problem may be that they are in HD.  For some reason HD videos don't sync onto my ipod classic and that may be the same problem for you.  Check and see if they are in HD, and if they are, then you will have to delete them.  Now don't freak out, if you go into the itunes store since you have already bought the videos they will always be available for download.  What you need to do before you redownload them is change the HD/SD setting underneath the cover of the video you are trying to buy on the store.  Change it to SD, and then download the video.  This should work or at least has worked for me.  I hope this helps and if you have any questions about this if this is your problem feel free to comment back and I'll try to help! I am definately not an ipod genius but this helped me when I was having the same problem.  Every video I have bought since has been able to be downloaded by just buying it in SD.  I have bought a lot of tv shows without realizing it would not work in HD and was very dissapointed that I had wasted all that money.  But then I was able to delete the ones that were in HD, and redownload them in SD and they all sync to my ipod and work very well! Hope this helps!

  • Trouble syncing to my ipod nano

    I am having trouble syncing my playlist in Windows Media Center to my new ipod nano. I've tried everything I can think of with no luck at all. Any help out there?

    I believe iPods are designed only to sync with iTunes. I know there are ways to get it work with other applications, but I don't believe it's officially supported. You may want to contact Apple support or Microsoft support.

  • Syncing movies onto iPod Classic/Video

    I seem to have some major difficulty with syncing movies and such onto my iPod.
    I got my iPod last year for Christmas (December 2006), and I have tried and tried to upload videos onto my iPod, except it always says ""-insert movie here- was not copied to the iPod "Fiona's iPod" because it cannot be played on this iPod"
    I don't really understand why it doesn't work.
    The article that Apple officially write on how to Sync videos onto the iPod DOES NOT WORK!
    Please tell me something useful to solve this problem, perhaps something you have done previously that would be of use?
    Thank you.

    You can try one of three things (or all three to find the one that works best for you):
    1. Right-click on the file in iTunes and choose "Convert video for iPod". It is a long process, especially for something longer than 20 minutes, and it doesn't always work in my experience.
    2. Buy a license for Quicktime so you have the options of QT Pro. Load the movie/video into QT and then export it into iPod format with the settings you desire, then re-add it to iTunes. This is basically the same as the first option, but a bit faster because iTunes itself pretty much will eat half your computer's resources just running idle. Give iTunes something to do, and it will start to huff and puff like a 400lb. linebacker running wind-sprints. But QT is much sleeker and does the job better too. Plus QT Pro lets you do some nice things, like editing your .mp4 & .m4v iPod movies.
    3. For what you're talking about, this is probably the cheapest and most reliable option - download and install [Videora|http://www.videora.com> and then convert the file in this program. Videora is fast, simple, and works pretty darn well. Oh, did I mention it's free and has frequent updates? It's great for converting those Quicktime movies that just aren't formatted right for the iPod.

  • Having trouble syncing video to Ipod Classic 160GB

    Hi all,
    Finally moved up to an Ipod after a few too many years with other brands...and am really enjoying the Ipod/Itunes combo for music.
    Video's a different matter, though, and I could use your help!
    I'm trying to get a few videos onto my Classic, and have converted them into MP4 format and put them in the "Movies" folder in Itunes (they show up alongside every video I've shot on my digital camera). My Ipod is set to sync automatically, and does so for music, but not for video. I was able to get the videos on using the instructions I found on http://www.ehow.com/how4925922download-videos-onto-ipod-classic.html , but the next time I synced music on my Ipod, it removed the videos I'd added.
    Is there a way that I could add videos manually, and keep syncing music automatically, without the automatic syncing removing things that I added manually? Or could I set Itunes/Ipod up such that music is automatically queued for syncing, while videos need to be approved for syncing?
    Basically, how can I get this to work?
    Many thanks for your help.

    Hello stopheles,
    And welcome to Apple Discussions!
    How do you currently have your iPod set up to sync Videos? What settings do you have enabled from under the Videos tab for your iPod in iTunes? Specifically, the "Automatically sync (Select Option Here, e.g. all) movies" option on this tab.

  • Trouble Syncing My New Ipod Touch

    I cannot get my Ipod Touch to sync.I connect the Touch to my computer and I get the error message "iTunes could not connect to the iTunes store. The connection timed out. Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active,then try again."
    I have uninstalled,re-installed iTunes several times and it does not resolve the issue. I have synced my friends iPod without any problems, only with the iTouch.
    Has anyone else had this problem and if so how were you able to fix it. Thanks in advance!

  • Having trouble getting audiobooks onto iPod Touch

    I've tried troubleshooting this for my mom to no avail...
    We've found them in the iPod tab on iTunes -- they are all there, and she's able to check the box to Sync to her iPod, but nothing. She's got enough capacity... we've even tried moving them to a playlist but those playlists will mysteriously not show up in the Sync tab on iTunes...
    Any idea what's going on here? Trying to help from 1500 miles away but it's hard to tell.
    Thanks,
    AP

    Are you positive these audiobooks are configured to sync to the iPod Touch?  Wouldn't hurt to double check.
    Plug your iPod in and when it appears in iTunes, click on its name from under the Devicessection in the left hand pane of iTunes.  This will bring you to the iPod's Summary tab.   Look for the Books configuration tab along the top and click that.
    There should be an option right that the top that says Sync Audiobooks with a checkbox next to it.  Make sure it is ticked.  Then configure other settings below that.

  • Problems syncing apps onto iPod

    Hi there. Last week I downloaded Trails and iDialUDrive on the iTunes store, which were downloaded successfully and are now on my list of Apps. Though every time I want them to be synced onto my iPod, it simply won't do it. Every other app downloads, though these two won't. And I paid for these apps, so if it won't let me use them, how can I get my money back?

    Are these apps compatible with the ipod touch?
    The Trails I see is a GPS tracker ( the ipod touch does not have GPS) and lists only the iphone as compatible devices.
    IdialUDrive is a telephone app (ipod touch is not a phone) and it also lists iphone as only compatible device.
    Did you look at the requirements on these apps before buying?
