TV shows do not show up as 'TV Shows' on my iPod

I have downloaded some TV shows from iTunes, such as Lost, but when I transfered them to my iPod, they show up as movies, not TV Shows. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

eh, is it what is described here?

Some music does not show up on ipod in itunes, but it is there...used twoPC

Hi, my main computer is a laptop. This is the one that is updated continually and has the latest software (XP/itunes)...I have another computer, it is the big one, with all the music on it for the most part, the laptop has the new stuff...anyway, getting ready for a trip and I had the bright idea (I say that sarcastically) to connect it to the outdated machine (it works fine) and use itunes to add in other music that my laptop does not have (due to a small hard drive 60 gigs only, vs 700 gigs on the big guy)...anyway, once I turn on the ipod, the music is not there in itunes, if I connect the ipod to the laptop the music is not there too, if I do a windows search on the ipod for the creation date, or the name of the group (in this case tainted love by soft cell) it is there, it is just not in the itunes listing/database/library. I suspect being that the two different versions of itunes are different, they do not work together. I should have thought of that before, but it is too late now....So what can I do, can I copy off all the music manually onto a portable drive, delete all the songs on the ipod manually, then reimport them to have the missing songs show up? Will this also copy off the album art? Or am I totally barking up the wrong tree?
I want to of course make this as easy as possible for myself, without issues to the ipod....I tried playing the song found via windows and it did play it on the laptop, but it did not come up on the ipod it came up in the regular library, and when I tried to copy it to the ipod it said there was a corrupt library or something along those lines...the pod works fine...
I have a 60 gig color video pod....this is my second one, and I have a 40 gig 3rd generation as well (not having problems)
Thank you for any help...

try just pushing play instead of clicking the artist name and then choosing the song thats not there. With mine i would push play under coldplay and it would play 1 of 10 but if i clicked coldplay and tryed choosing the song i wanted to play there would only be 6 songs there. I think the problem is because not all my songs have an album name. so those songs that are blank under album don't show up. I really don't know what the real problem is here but i think thats how to fix it.

I have a 5th gen ipod and recently all of my video podcasts stopped showing up in my ipod. They still show up and play in itunes, just not in my video podcast list on my ipod. All of the podcasts are Quicktime Large.

I have a 5th gen ipod and recently all of my video podcasts stopped showing up in my ipod. They still show up and play in itunes, just not in my video podcast list on my ipod. All of the podcasts are Quicktime Large. For some reason my ipod has stopped supporting Quicktime Large. Now I've had to redownload every video podcast as Quicktime Small.
Anyone have any ideas whether this is from the the software version 1.3 and if they'll fix it in the next update?

I'm having same problem, but QT Small videos are also not getting synced.

TS2581 Not all of my Playlists show on my iPod after sync

After I sync my iPod, there are a number of playlists that do not show on my iPod. There are no strange characters, just letters in the names. Anyone have an idea what is going on or how I can get the playlists to sync to iPod? This is a fairly recent occurance. Maybe because of an iTunes update???

Plug your iPod into your PC and select it from under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes. Now locate the Music tab along the top and select that. Under this tab, is your iPod configured to sync all of your playlists?

See if placing the iPod in DFU mode will allow a restore.

Movies and TV Shows Missing form iPod menu -- what's up with that?

I purchased my fist movie and TV episode last night to see how well I will like them on my iPod classic. I am connecting to the most up to date version of iTunes on my IBM/Win XP computer.
I watched the episode (Journeyman's first episode -- missed it on Monday...it's not bad) and was pleased. Then watched Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy -- also enjoyable even at the small size (especially the opening sequence which emulates "home movie" style in a very small frame).
Near the end of the movie, my iPod battery was giving up the ghost, so I paused the movie and plugged in. After waiting out the "Do not disconnect..." syncing process the main menu finally appeared on the iPod -- but the Movie and TV Shows selections were conspicuously missing from the menu! I have not seen my Movie/TV episode since.
They are in the iTunes library, obviously, but they simply never show up in the iPod menu. So far I have sync'd a number of times -- the sync settings were originally set by default to sync all songs, podcasts, TV Shows, Movies, Songs, etc... I tried "tweaking" these but to no avail. All syncs result in no Movie or TV Shows on the iPod menu.
Most recently I tried deleting all material from the iPod and then re-syncing all material back to the iPod (no help) and lastly I tried resetting to factory default settings (which originally seemed to work just fine) still to no avail.
When I select Settings >> Main Menu ... from the iPod main menu, the configuration screen also does not contain options for Movies or TV Shows.
It all makes me say "Hmmmm...." and leaves me reluctant to waste money on video media (though thank god my Tiki TV podcasts are still coming through just fine ... no Lala? I don't think so!). Nope, check that! video podcasts are not coming through either. GEEZE!
Has anyone experienced this before? Again, I've updated all iPod and iTunes software. Nothing "funky" seemed to happen to cause the problem, other than it conincided with plugging my iPod in (which kicks off the blasted sync process -- geeze these settings are a pain...I'd prefer the blasted thing to just sync on demand) >:-( Any help/suggestions would be most appreciated. Without a solution, I'll never be able to keep up with Journeyman!
Thanks
NK

No, once a user has been created, you can't run Setup Assistant (without erasing and reinstalling).
What do you recommend for fixing this?
Here's what's happened:
When you first start up a Mac and create the first user account, OSX assigns it UID (User ID) #501. The next one gets #502, etc. Those UIDs (not the user name) are what control permission to files.
You can see those numbers via System Prefs > Users & Groups; click the padlock and enter your Admin password, then select an account and right-click it, and select Advanced Options. Do not change anything on that window.
So . . . assume your old iMac had a user 501 with the data you want; it's identified that way on the backups.
When the Apple Store started up your new Mac, and created their account, it became #501.
When you used Migration Assistant to transfer the 501 account from the iMac's backups, OSX copied everything there "as is" except it had to change the 501 to 502.
The new 502 account has all the right permissions to things now in it's home folder, but the backups belong to user 501.
Have you added much to the Mac since you did the migration? Have you done any new backups? If not, while it's a bit of a hassle, one fix would be to create yet another user account temporarily. Make it an Admin account. Log on to it and delete all the other accounts. Then migrate the accounts from your backups; this time there won't be a conflict, so OSX won't have to change the UUID(s).
But if you have done new backups, this won't work, since Migration Assistant automatically uses the most recent backup. There's a way around that, but it's a bit (or more) tedious.

Some song genres that no longer exist are still showing on my iPod

I had some inconsistencies the name of a genre so I changed it. After changing and syncing it to my ipod, the misspelled genre is still there, but when I click on it, it shows the results of the correctly spelled genre.
It's an error that only shows on my ipod, not itunes. How can I fix?

My guess is that the inconsistancy still occurs in another song, particularly if the inconsistancy is capitalisation.
In iTunes, when you look at that genre, you see only one version, but if you look very carefully, do you see the incorrect version on any song in it? (If the issue is a "space" after the last letter of the genre, it will be very difficult to spot.) Copy the correct version of the genre that you want to use and paste it into every song in the genre. Then Sync the iPod to your Library.
Does that fix it?

HT4623 How do i delete a tv show from my ipod?

How do i delete a tv show from my ipod? I updated it to the iOS 7 and got a bunch of shows that I have bought but deleted and I got rid of those through the settings but there is one that will not go away.

Try swiping them left or right,(try both) a Delete or Remove button should appear. Tap it.

If I buy a tv show from my ipod and sync it to my library will it stay in the libary, even if I delete it.

If I buy a tv show from my ipod and sync it to the itunes library will it stay in the library, even if I delete it from my ipod. I just want to make sure I am not totally deleteing it and lose my money.

Deleting it from the Pod after copying it to the coputer will not dlelte it from your ligrary.

How do i put a tv show on my ipod?

I'm trying to put a tv show on my Ipod Nano (3rd Generation) and i won't sync to it? How do you do it?

Hello Lisa,
Double check your iPod's sync settings from under it's TV Shows tab in iTunes. Make sure it is not set up to sync only unwatched episodes.

Why the albuns artcover won´t show in the iPod?

I have tried everything already, from unistalling iTunes (twice) to looking over all the manuals and check boxes in iTunes, and yet, some of the album artcovers don´t show in the iPod after sycing checked musics. The weird thing is that it has happened out of the blue, once it was everything ok before. I have this new iPod Touch for over 2 months now and it´s very fustrating not to have the artcover in it since I spent a lot of time and patiance adding all the right artcovers to the albuns.

I am not that knowledgeable on ID but to start the discussion I would suggest you post where you are trying to view your PDF. If you are viewing in Acrobat or Adobe Reader on a Desktop Client then there might be a problem. But if you are trying to view on an iOS or Android device (or other mobile device) then that is the main cause as to why you can't view multimedia things and have interactivity.
