TV shows purchased on iTunes not showing up on iPhone

I have an iPhone 3G. When I try to sync TV shows to it -- shows I've paid for, using iTunes -- it looks like they're transferring to the iPhone, but they don't show up on it.
I've tried renaming them, reclassifying them as movies, deleting and retrying, but nothing works. It used to work and suddenly stopped after one of the updates (I forget which one).
Suggestions?

  • HT4915 I share my iTunes accont with my kids. Many of the songs that they purchase, I do not want in my iphone Library, and I don't want them to play when I have my phone on shuffle. How an I remove unwanted songs from my phone library?

    I share my iTunes accont with my kids. Many of the songs that they purchase, I do not want in my iphone Library, and I don't want them to play when I have my phone on shuffle. How an I remove unwanted songs from my phone library withot affecting their devices?

    These are the downsides of a shared library because if you delete the song from your library it will get also automatically  deleted from your kids library. If you want to proceed then please follow this guide: https://support.apple.com/kb/HT4915

  • HT201272 I have accidentally deleted an Audiobook from my iPad. It was purchased from iTunes (not Audible - though it is an Audible product). It does not appear in the list of previous purchases. How do I 'find' it to re-download it?

    I have accidentally deleted an Audiobook purchased from iTunes. (Purchased from iTunes, not Audible, but it is an Audible product). It does not appear anywhere on a lost of previously purchased items.  How can I 'find' it and re-download it? Thanks!

    Sorry, but audiobooks cannot be downloaded more than once without charge, so if you don't have a viable backup, you may be out of luck. You can, however, contact the iTunes Store, explain the situation, and see if they can make an exception for you.

  • Why won't the movie I purchased on itunes not download to my ipod?

    why won't the movie I purchased on itunes not download to my classic ipod. In ipod's summary, I checked "all" under sync for movies. I have the classic 160 gig ipod and have plenty of space. I unchecked "HD" and chose the 720 resolution. What next?

    HI moveandshaker,
    try to open itunes then drag the movies to your device.

  • TS4009 all of my audio purchases from itunes are stored on my iphone which is taking up all of my memory. can i back them up to icloud? i tried to sync with my itunes library, but the library on my computer doesn't contain all of my songs.

    All of my purchases from iTunes are stored on my iPhone and taking up all of my memory. I want to store the music in iCloud if possible, but I can't get it to work. I tried to sync my phone to iTunes, but the library on my computer is all screwed up! I backed up my library to my harddrive, but now a lot of the songs aren't there and the ones that are there have multiple duplicates! If I try to sync my phone to my computer I'm afraid it will sync to the current library on my computer and I will lose all of the music on my phone! HELP this is driving me crazy!

    There's a menu choice (I think under "Files") that lets you sync purchased items on a device back to itunes.  Look for that.
    iCloud does not store music.  If you want to do that you'd have to subscribe to itunes Match, but to get music to the match servers, you need the music in the itunes library on your computer.

  • Why do some of the songs on iTunes not transfer to my iPhone when I drag and attempt to drop them?

    Why do some of the songs on iTunes not transfer to my iPhone when I drag and attempt to drop them?

    No one hear has any idea why you are having a problem without a lot more information. Have you checked Sync only checked songs? Have you checked "Manually manage music and videos"? Are ANY songs transferrring, or None? Are all of the songs purchased with the same iTunes account? ARE they purchased iTunes songs or from another source? Are you using the same computer all the time (the iPhone can sync music from only one computer at a time)?

  • HT1688 My purchased ringtones are not on my new Iphone after syncing. How do I get them back?

    My purchased ringtones are not on my new IPhone after syncing How do I get them back? ITunes store said I had already purchased - would I like to purchase again?

    Thanks for that babowa. If I add my Yahoo account it just goes straight to MacMail and says I already have an account. There seems to be no basic problem with mails going between Macmail and Yahoo. It is just the folders that have disappeared, while MacMail was out of action. I don't think those particular folders were ever on the Yahoo mail that I access through BT, they were just on the MacMail under "Yahoo" as opposed to "On my Mac". I am worried in case I lose what I already have if I press "Restore" from my back up. As you can see, I am not exactly good at this!

  • 80g not syncing TV shows purchased on iTunes (not an HD issue)

    I have several TV programs that I purchased, some as long as 4 years ago, and some only a year ago. On my old computer I manually synced because my computer couldn't hold all my iPod content. Then I got a new computer and started auto syncing.
    Now all my old TV shows (purchased through iTunes when I used my previous computer, copied to this computer from my iPod) won't sync to my iPod. I have selected the check box and selected all episodes of all shows. I have also tried doing "selected" and then checking the boxes, nothing works.
    This is so enfuriating as all of these were legitimately purchased. I can watch them fine in iTunes, but can't get the d*mn things to copy/sync!

    OKAY...this was the same thing that happened to me and I figured out the problem...it might be the same for you all...when you plug your iPod into the usb and the iPod Updater screen appears through your iTunes account, go to the "TV Shows" tab at the top. MAKE SURE YOU SELECT "Sync ALL videos." It turns out that the videos that weren't appearing on my iPod were the ones that had been watched at least once. I had the "Sync ALL UNWATCHED" option selected, there for all of the episodes that were viewed on my computer were not synced onto my iPod. HOPE THIS HELPS!

  • Songs I purchased in iTunes, after syncing with my iPhone and iPad, show up in the library and playlist on the computer. They are in the songs lists on both devices but do not actually transfer to the playlist on either though the computer says they have.

    I purchased four songs in iTunes, downloaded them, then did a sync with both my iPhone and iPad.  All songs show up in the libraries of both devices. I then added these songs to a playlist on the computer then synced both devices again.  According to iTunes on the computer, all four songs are in the playlists on both devices.  However, on the actual devices, only two of the four are in the playlists.  All four are still showing up in the library.  I created another playlist specifically for these four songs to see what would happend, dragged them to the playlist on the computer, then did another sync.  Once again, according to the computer, all the songs are in the playlists on the devices.  However, only two of the four are actually in the playlists on the phone and iPad. Any ideas what's going on?

    Lynn,
    I had a very similar issue (same playlist).  After several frustrating hours of various combinations I was able to sync by changing the options to "manuall sync.." and then "dragging and dropping" the needed playlist from the iTunes Playlist list to the iPhone button (on my itunes setup/view that was from the far left column list of all of my  playlist in iTunes to the far upper right "iPhone" button).  To sum up "checking" the playlist and syncing didnt work, "drag and droping" the playlist did... at least for now... then I unselected the "manually manage" in the options and re-synced and all playlist were synced correctly.  Good Luck.

  • Ringtones purchased from iTunes not showing up under Text Tones in iOS 5

    I just upgraded to IOS 5 on my 3Gs and i am glad to see there are new Tone options but i can not find the ringtones i purchased earlier this year under text tones. I can find the ones i made but not the ones i purchased from itunes.

    I had the same issue.  Try this:  go into iTunes, select your iPhone, go to Ringtones tab, check the Sync seclected Ringtones, deselect the ringtones that you pruchansed from iTunes Store.  Now Apply/Sync the phone.  When it's done, Go back to the Ringtones tab and select Sync all Ringtones.  Apply/Sync the phone again.  Now go to a contact and set a ringtone, you should see all the purchased ringtones.  Good luck.

  • Apps purchased on itunes not syncing with iphone

    I recently purchased some apps from the App Store using iTunes but when I synced it with my iPhone it didn't work. This is the first time it's happened. All the other times I purchased apps through my macbook, they synced perfectly once I connected my iPhone, except for the ones I downloaded last night. I tried downloading them straight from the App Store in my iPhone, and when asked "You already purchased this, would you like to download it again for free?" I clicked Ok, but still nothing happened. Now I have five apps missing which I paid for and haven't even used.
    Any suggestions as to what else I should try?

    Similar problem. Apps downloaded to iTunes do not sync to my iPhone (Edge/2.0) despite clicking "Sync" in iTunes. The icons do not appear on the iPhone. My account shows the apps ordered in the receipt, but they only remain on my Mac.
    Workaround: I had to download the apps directly (wirelessly) to the iPhone. I did not restart the iPhone.
    Expected behaviour: the apps should appear on the iPhone after syncing with iTunes.

  • I cannot buy anything on my iphone 5(v.6.0.2) and it say itune version not support this purchase. or itune not install correctly.do i need to update IOS version?

    can anyone tell me why?it just say : Your Purchase Could not be completed
    Purchase Failed : Your Itunes version does not support this purchase, it was not installed correctly. or you're not sign into a itunes account.
    why?
    or i need to update latest IOS?

    Try to do a reset, if it doesn't work try remove recently added apps this may solve your problem ( like google app because it has happened with me)
    Take a look at apps using your location service in privacy, it can cause battery draining.

  • Ringtones purchased from ITunes not going into ringtones section of IPhone4

    Hi,
    I already looked through previous answers around this topic, but didn't have any joy. One posting suggested creating a ringtone by rightclicking on the item in my library, but the option isnt there.
    I purchased 4 ringtones (not music for use as a ringtone) on I Tunes, and sync'd the phone, so they are in my i-pod library - but not in the ringtones drop-down list. I tried dragging and dropping them on I Tunes on my computer, but this hasnt worked either..... help! I am in the UK so I am not entitled to the call-back service from Apple.
    Thanks

    "I purchased 4 ringtones (not music for use as a ringtone) on I Tunes,"
    If this is so, then they should be under the "Ringtones" section under "Library" in itunes.
    I think you purchased the song ( sound file) which still needs to be made into a ringtone. There are many free ways to do this.
    Google will find them.

  • HT203167 Purchased from iTunes a ringtone for my iPhone which is registered - but where did ringtone go?  Not on my iPhone

  • Video Purchased from iTunes won't play on iPhone 3G

    I am using a 3G iPhone, and have been able to synchronize all of my music and videos successfully to the iPhone up until now. Here is the problem, and related steps/issues:
    1. I have the series, Mad Men, purchased on iTunes. The episodes appear perfectly on my iPhone. (Note: I also have several of my own videos uploaded to my iPhone, and they play just fine).
    2. When I choose an episode to watch on the iPhone, I get the following message:
    "This movie could not be played."
    3. The same message appears for EVERY episode I have.
    4. The episodes play perfectly on iTunes, with no problems.
    5. My music is synced perfectly, and plays perfectly. Most of the music on my iPhone was purchased on iTunes as well.
    I can't find any explanation or solution as to why this is suddenly happening, with no way to resolve this.
    RW

    OK, so I just went synchronized another video that was purchased on iTunes. The same exact message appears when I attempt to play the video.
    The bizarre part here is that the videos I have made play absolutely fine; in other words, videos NOT purchased on iTunes are playing fine.
    Also, the problem was encountered yesterday. I was able to view the videos; a few hours later, when I went back to watch the videos, the problem started then.
