TV Shows sorting issues on ipad

I am very organized and borderline OCD so believe me when I say that I have made sure under the "command I" (get info) settings for each and every episode, everything is filled out exactly like the TV Shows that I have bought from the iTunes Store. I have been doing this for a long time with no issues until recently. Now when I sync my TV Shows, it categorizes them all in one big group, then in that one main group, it sub categorizes them under Season before Show and Title. So basically if I am currently watching multiple shows that are same number of season it will sort them together under Season first instead of Show name. For example, Gotham and The Flash are both currently in season one, so under that Season 1 heading, mixed in with each other will be all my episodes for these two shows instead of separating the shows by name, then as a sub class then organizing each individual show by their own seasons.
Wow, I know this is awfully wordy, and very redundant, but I just wanted to make my issue clear. Any thoughts on why this is happening lately? I haven't done anything differently, the only thing I can think of that I did recently was while connected to my home wifi, I clicked on the Shared tab at the top. The reason I believe this may be relevant, is because when I choose to show all the TV Shows on my iPad from the computer via this shared tab it does the exact same thing grouping them in season numbers before show name. In iTunes on my Mac they are all categorized normally and how one would like to see them, however overtime I sync now the same thing happens.
I have tried many things such as take out season numbers all together, but it still categorizes them the same, just all under the heading "no season". I have also tried many different sorting options to no avail. Like I stated earlier, I copied the "get info" straight off of a bought episode so everything should be good.
everything is up to date as of today:
OS X Yosemite 10.10.2
iTunes version 12.1.0.5
iPad Air 2 version 8.2
Please Help!!!! very annoying issue

Have you tried deleting and then re-uploading them to iTunes. I've tried this before and it helped.

TV shows sorting issues

Hi all,
I have couple of my favourite TV Shows in iTunes, and while iTunes keeps all my tv shows episodes sorted perfectly well (season#, than episode#) when I sync them to my iPhone the sorting is gone; I have the episodes in random(?) order, furthermore iPhone doesn't display episode number, so it's impossible to even try to watch them in chronological order.
OSX 10.6.1, iTunes 9, iPhone 3G 16GB 3.1
Any help will be greatly appreciated
thanks,

I am not having this problem- iTunes purchased stuff and personally tagged items dispay correctly.
Others have reported this problem.
If personally added shows-check your tag info.
Otherwise try removing content and restart the phone and resync. If not fixed try full restore.

My iPhone 5s will send messages, but not receive them. Replies show up on my iPad. How do I fix this?

Anyone know how to fix imessage and FaceTime issues with iPhone 5s? I can send messages, but replies only show up on my iPad, not my phone. Can't FaceTime at all, just on iPad. Says "waiting for activation". Or "Activation unsuccessful. Turn on iMessage to try again." And a screen comes up "iMessage Activation. An error occurred during activation. Try again." If I try to log in with my Apple ID, it doesn't work, either. Same problems for FaceTime.
I have tried all the "fixes" I found on another thread, nothing worked. This is a replacement phone. My first one had problems with the touchpad not working, but the messaging and FaceTime were fine. The touchpad works on this phone. Any suggestions?

Fixed!! My cellular/internet provider had to do a restore and now it works

(ios5 ipad bugs)I can't get changes of album art, artist, album and other tags to show up in the iPad music player, but they show up correctly in the iTunes device view. Certain random songs do not sync correctly. Wifi sync hasn't worked yet.

(ios5 ipad bugs)I can't get changes of album art, artist, album and other tags to show up in the iPad music player, but they show up correctly in the iTunes device view. Certain random songs do not sync correctly. Wifi sync hasn't worked yet.
I mostly use technology for education and professional audiovisuals and lights.
I don't sync music because I use music from at least 4 different computers. (manually mange music)
I use my iPad to play performance tracks for church and a local gospel group out of our church, Won4Christ.
I chose to buy the iPad because the laptop of one of the group members (dellxps running iTunes) was randomly losing and mixing up music and I wanted a more stable option that was bigger than my iPod touch.
I tried to add some data to music libraries that I previously added to my iPad, but the data only shows up when looking at the device in iTunes.
Wifi sync has not worked on either my laptop or desktop ( both running windows 7 enterprise 64 and newest iTunes) not really a big issue, but very annoying
When browsing through library playlist albums on the iPad, random artwork shows up on playlists with no artwork that you touch while dragging, and it does not go away until you change to another navigation tab and back.
Random songs out of hundreds that I added showed up in iTunes grayed out with a sync circle beside them. Those songs would play back okay on the iPad but were unplayable through the iTunes device view. I had to delete the songs manually through the library along with the playlist and add them again.
These seem to be major stability bugs in the "new" music app and iTunes. My only option right now seems to be to delete the songs that I want to change and re-add them with the changes already applied rather than changing the id3 tags and artwork on the existing music. I hope apple will release updates to resolve these issues.
Thank you for actually making it to the end of this manuscript of annoyances.

Just wondered if anyone had any other suggestions.

Books not showing up on my iPad

I have books that my Mac's iBooks see which don't show up on my iPad.    If I uncheck "All books" in the iTunes "books" tab, I can scroll down and see the books, but then I check "All books" again (Sync Books is checked), and I don't see the books I'm looking for on my iPad.    iTunes says there are 318 books synced, and on my iPad, it takes a lot of scrolling to find books (Why can't there be an alphabetic short cut the way Contacts has?)
I do have some books that don't sort correctly - as in it getting confused about first and last name of an author (is that fixable by me?).    Maybe I'm just not finding the books.   Other book readers make it easier - or at least obvious - to find books.
My iPad's iBooks is set to show"All books", and doesn't hide iCloud books.
I just tested by telling my iTunes to sync all books to my phone.    A book I was looking for showed up there.    It still is missing from my pad.

i have had the same problem since upgrading to ios 8. it happened again today. connected ipad and opened itunes. itunes shows 5 books on ipad when i in reality i have over 1500 books on the ipad. the books on the ipad are there, i can read them with no problem. the only books that itunes will recognize are the purchased books. I have talked to apple numerous times and finally have had my case escalated to the engineering group. It seems to me the problem is this.....whatever the ipad sends to itunes to show what is on it is getting corrupted in this version of iOS....never had the first problem with iOS 7. i can't add new books because if i sync i will lose all of the books that are there now. have restored the ipad a bunch of times, connected it directly to my imac bypassing the usb hub, restored as a new ipad thinking the backup might be corrupted. the problem still exists and i think Apple needs to deal with it quickly because it does the same thing in Yosemite. Tried it on the beta version of Yosemite same deal.... No way i am upgrading to Yosemite at this point....will keep the forum informed of what Apple says...

My employer is issuing an iPad 4 to me, but has informed me that I "...can expect no privacey" of any personal information that may be put on the iPad. This is not acceptable to me. How can I use iTunes to keep my personal information off the iPad?

My employer is issuing an iPad 4 to me, but has informed me that "...I can expect no privacy" with regard to any information on it. What has me concerned is that my employer has also requested that I use my Persoanl iTunes account to syc and update the iPad. I am concerend with my personal privacey, as I have two other iPads that use this account regualary.
My question is: How can I use iTunes to update etc. the company iPad using iTunes without compromising my personal information?
What I have done is to set up a different sign in (is that called an Apple ID?) within iTunes (I now have two different names I can use to sign in to iTunes). They both still use the same iTunes and my personal apps and information appear to be available to my second sign in name (the second sign in name is what I intend to use for the company iPad). When I sync the company iPad how do/can I keep my persoanl information from being syc'd automatically to the comapany iPad?

Hi herbie13!
It sounds like you will still want to link your iPad and computer, but you want to prevent the iPad from syncing information from your computer to your iPad. I have an article here for you that can help tell you how to set this up:
iOS: Syncing with iTunes
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1386
You will want to follow the steps here to set up the iPad for syncing, but when it comes time to sync, you'll just want to make sure that the boxes for syncing the multitude of items that you can sync remain unchecked so that none of that information gets synced into the iPad.
Another note: your second Apple ID will not be able to access the apps, music, movies, tv shows, etc., that you have purchased under your primary Apple ID. Even though it seems that the secondary Apple ID still has access to those items, that is just because you are viewing your second Apple ID through the iTunes Store section on your computer and you have those items saved locally on your computer. You will need to repurchase and download all of the content that you wish to use again on your second Apple ID, if that is what you wish to solely use on this iPad.
Take care, and thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities.

My movies on my ipad won't show up in my ipad iMovie. Why?

My movies on my ipad won't show up in my ipad iMovie. Why?

you said you uninstalled iTunes. Did you follow this article?
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
because iTunes also installs other components and when removing and re-installing, you have to remove the components in the exact order otherwise it usually doesn't resolve the issue, and sometimes make it worst!
also make sure: you're using the correct ipad usb cable and plugging it on the back of the computer (not the front usb)
next step if it doesn't work would be to try to create another windows user (administrator) and try the ipad on that one, sometimes it works like that.
Good luck

Infinity Blade install issue on iPad

Greetings,
I downloaded Infinity Blade this morning and then tried to load it on my iPad, it went thru the install of app, and Infinity blade shows up in the apps window on iTunes and even the page its on for the iPod from the Apps window within iTunes. But it doesnt show up on the iPad before or after the disconnect from the dock connector......
I have the check box checked next to the Infinity Blade, Apply'd , and even did a sync while the iPad is selected in the source window of iTunes, all to no avail.
Any one else having this issue ?

Greetings,
I did try the cold boot before posting, but good recommendation.
Tried the re-syncing another time today, the same. Also tried the 'check for downloads' too ... Did a 'report a problem' with iTunes...
The only thing I can think of is I have a slow net connection plain dsl, and I left while it was downloading. Did any of you stay with your system during the entire install ? Just a thought, well I'll wait till Monday if I can
Thx
and
Happy Holidays to all You Apple Families

Sort photo in iPad

Hi, my name is massimo.
My father bought an ipad.
Unfortunately he doesn't have a mac but,an (horrible) PC with Windows XP SP3.
I can't order the photos into ipad.
I tried some guides, but in spite of having changed the EXIF metadata inside each picture, nothing will change.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks and forgive my English

After downloading all kinds of things that didn't work & spending about a million hours arranging everything in an unsatisfactory way through iPhoto -
I FINALLY FIGURED THIS OUT!
I personally have lots of files inside sub-folders inside other sub-folders.
They all transferred perfectly with subfolders in tact. All my files are JPGs & please note that PDFs wont transfer.
You DO NOT need iPhoto.
You can import as many folders, sub-folders as you like directly from your computer via wi-fi.
Download an app called 'Photo-Sort' & plug your ipad into your computer via USB.
Open the app & click the little radar icon (third one in at the bottom of the ipad screen). A little window pops up to say FTP enabled. Leave it up & go to your main computer.
If you don't already have an FTP loader on your main computer - download one called 'CyberDuck' from CNET for free. That's what I used.
Open CyberDuck & click 'Open Connection'.
In the 'Server' field - type:
192.168.10.132
In the 'Port' field - type:
8080
Choose 'Anonymous' as your Username & then click 'Connect'.
Now - all you have to do is drag your folder(s) directly from your desktop into that CyberDuck window.
As they load - a second window pops up called 'Transfer' and you can see them uploading.
Once they're all loaded -
simply go back to your iPad & click 'Disable FTP Server'.
They will all show up on your ipad after you do that & It will work just like your folder structure on your regular computer. You can even rename / see the names of all your photos (which is something you can't do through the regular ipad Photo app).

Why won't my keynote files from my MacBook pro show up on my iPad 2 via iCloud?

Hey anyone who can offer assistance,
I recently upgraded my MacBook pro early 2011 from snow leopard to mountain lion in order to utilize iCloud and am experiencing an issue syncing presentations from my MacBook to my iPad 2. The presentations simply don't show up on my iPad. I have gone through all the normal steps of making sure that iCloud is turned on on both the devices as well as confirming the documents and data tab is switched on in iCloud on both devices. I then drag and drop presentations into the iCloud folder (within keynote) on my MacBook pro and keynote confirms it has been uploaded to iCloud. Then when I open keynote on my iPad it is not there. I am connected to the internet on both devices as well. Thanks for any help you can offer.

I am a doofus. All I needed to do was go into settings, click on keynote and turn iCloud on in keynote.

Email images are not showing in my new iPad.

email images are not showing in my new iPad. This was not a problem initially, but just started. I use yahoo mail. Any thoughts?

This seems to be a problem with Yahoo! that started within the past few days. I am assuming that you are accessing your Yahoo! Mail through Safari. Until a fix is issued, you have two options -- (1) use the Mail app included in iOS, logging in with your Yahoo! account information or (2) when in Yahoo! Mail in Safari, click on your profile name/pic in the bottom left corner, choose Options, and then choose the last option, which displays your e-mail using the older classic version of Yahoo! Mail. It's not as pretty or easy to manuever around, but at least it shows the images in your e-mails, which is the most important thing. Both Apple and Yahoo! have been contacted about this issue, so hopefully a fix will be released soon.

Sound issue, my ipad 3 sound doesnt work

sound issue, my ipad 3 sound doesnt work. ios6

Hi Naielly,
Most people will, eventually, have sound problems: the cause can be complex as a 'miss-behaved' app that messes the sound engine or as simple as the iPad being on Mute/Volume Down.
Watch this Short Video [1m40s] showing how to fix iPad Sound for all those cases:

We made the video for people who downloaded our game - but it ended up helping a lot of people. Let me know if it has worked for you.

If I change iTunes song info, why does it not show up in my iPad?

I have several individual songs that I bought from iTunes that have preset Album names, but for my purposes, I have changed those names so the songs are grouped together but the album info is never updated on the ipad and it is throwing off my sorting.
This has only happened since I got iTunes Match on April 1.
Any ideas how to make the changes in iTunes show up on the iPad?

If the tracks are already downloaded to your iPad you'll need to delete them and download them again for the changes you made to show up.

HT1420 iTunes Match will not show on phone or ipad I have switched on iTunes Match on both units. PC is saying albums are in the cloud ?

iTunes Match will not show on phone or ipad I have switched on iTunes Match on , On both units. PC is saying albums are in the cloud ?

Hey there Dollyonline,
Thank you for asking your question! It sounds like iTunes Match playlists are not syncing correctly to your iPad, even though you have already toggled iTunes Match off then on again. I would next turn iTunes Match back off, then close all the apps on the iPad:
iOS: Force an app to close
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
When you have done that, sign out of your iTunes account in Settings > iTunes and App stores, and restart the phone then try turning on iTunes Match again to test the issue:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
If the issue persists, I would next backup your device to iTunes, and restore it:

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Sterling
