Unable to transfer TV shows to my iPod

I just purchased the 80 GB iPod video player, and went to iTunes and bought a TV episode. The episode downloaded to my PC but when I tried to sync it to my iPod I keep getting the error message "[Episode name] was not copied to the iPod "[iPod name]" because you are not authorized to play it on this computer."
Any ideas on what is going on here? Many thanks in advance!

Did you authorize it?

I am unable to transfer my playlist to my Ipod in the new version of Itunes.

Since downloading the new Itunes I am unable to transfer my playlist to my Ipod.
I have tried dragging individual tracks but it will not let me load anything.
The symbol for my Ipod is no longer in the left column of my screen but at the top right hand corner.
Can you help please.

I also found that my previously paired 1st Gen Apple TV did not show up at all in itunes, after updating to version 11.
I basically resolved this by re-pairing it.
There may be less drastic steps that can be taken? But I found removing and then re-adding the pairing did the trick.
A bit arduous I suppose... effectively a minor reset of sorts... but my resolution steps were:
1) Removing the itunes sync account (at top) from the Settings->Computers screen on the 1st Gen Apple TV.
This took a while, and some faith, as it then removed all synched content from the Apple TV, which took several minutes... and I wasn't convinced I'd be able to then restore the sync.
2) After that process completed, I then clicked the option to add (re-add) the itunes sync account, on the Apple TV, noted the new code, went back to itunes (11.0.5), found the now unpaired Apple TV (that was now showing up again) in the left hand "Devices" list, and clicked "Setup", and then entered the new pairing code.
This let me set up synching again (although I sync the majority of my library content, in fact I set it up with the "Custom Sync" option) ...and so far, so good. It is now synching my purchases from the Apple TV into itunes, and vice versa, as it was before.
Hope this info helps someone else with a 1st Gen Apple TV...

Unable to transfer songs from itunes to iPod

After a long time trying to get this iPod to function again,I am now unable to transfer some songs on to the iPod.When I attempt to drag and drop a song ,it doesnt want to know.Currently also,the iPod is not recognised by the desktop.Well!!!...It does when I connect it,then it dis appears.

Well since your getting the "Sad ipod" face, you may have to sent it in for repair. That said, the "iTUnesDB is corrupt" message is covered here along with ways to have windows format the ipod (Link Below)
Now if you do have to format the ipod with windows, when windows is done YOU HAVE TO RESTORE IT WITH THE IPOD UPDATER BEFORE LOADING IT WITH ITUNES!!!!
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=361771
If you put the ipod in "Disk Mode" like the instructions say, and you can't get it to show in windows, you will have to disable the "iPodservice.exe" in task manager, format with windows THEN RESTART THE PC so the ipodservice is running again and you can restore it with the ipod updater

Unable to transfer pix from computer to iPod

When I try to download photos from my iPod to my computer (Windows XP)I get the following message: "The iPod 'My name' cannot be synced. The disk could not be read from or written to." I have no problems with music, podcasts, video etc., just photographs. The iPod is newest generation, 80Gb, bought just two months ago, and with 70Gb free space. Can anybody help?

okay, that's sounding like you might have a corrupt
photo cache. see:
"Disk cannot be read from or written to" when
syncing iPod or "Firmware update failure" error when
updating or restoring iPod
Photo Sync creates iPod photo Cache
if you delete the existing photo cache, does the
photo sync start going through properly for you?
Thanks, b noir. Tried that but it still does not work. I do not understand why podcasts, music and video will transfer to my iPod and photographs won't. If anyone elese has any suggestions, I'd be delighted to hear them. I even tries restoring the iPod in desperation, but that did not work either. The iPod would not restore: I got an error message.

Please Help: Unable To Transfer Songs from Itunes To Ipod

I've been plagued with problems every since Thursday when I was attempting to put new songs on my iPod. I got the dreaded sad face with the go to apple support site link. I've did the 5 R's but still no luck. I even reformatted it cause at one point in time I got a pop up telling me that the drive needed to be formatted. Well after doing this and updating it finally appeared to be operating correctly. I was able to load roughly three cd's on it before it went screwy again. I've ended up with the monochrome apple display and then the stupid disk mode do not disconnect one too. I've finally gotten it as of this morning to show up normal but now as soon as I connect my iPod to iTunes I get this pop up error

Then if I attempt to load any songs it appears to try it but then it hangs up and I get this message.

Unable to transfer music from coputer to ipod

help!
i wnat to synch the musin fron ituens to my ipod shuffle.
and i cannot!
tks,
s.

I fixed mine! let me tell you what I did -- i was searching more discussions and somebody had on there -- i went to start, then programs, then ipod, then ipod updater ((the newest one )). I think clicked restore (although, this deletes everything on your ipod, that wasn't a concern for me because somehow my entire ipod got deleted the other night!) and it restored it to factory settings. Then i went to Itunes and transferred the songs. If that doesnt work another person told me that your ipod drive (mine was E:) might be networked to another network drive so i changed it by going to control panel and then clicked on "switch to classic view" on the left hand side. THen i clicked on administrative tools, followed by computer management. On the left hand side at the bottom there was something called disk management, click on it then right click on your ipod drive and say change drive .Then change it to a drive that won't be associated with another one ( i chose s) and thats what got my ipod back! sorry this is so long and i hope it helps you!

I am unable to transfer song bought from the itunes store to my ipod- can anyone please assist?

I am unable to transfer song bought from the itunes store to my ipod- can anyone please assist?

What happens when you try?
If the song is an older purchase (from more than a few years ago), it may have DRM (copy protection). You can check by selecting the song on a list in iTunes, and doing a Get Info (right click - Get Into). On the Info window Summary tab, if Kind is Protected AAC audio file, it has DRM. Also note what it says there for Apple ID. You need to authorize the computer you use with the iPod to play content purchased with that Apple ID.
From the iTunes menu bar, under Store, select Authorize This Computer. Enter the Apple ID (and password) used to purchase the song. One computer can be authorize for multiple Apple IDs.
NOTE: More recent iTunes Store song purchases do not use DRM, although other type of media (such as TV shows and movies) still do.
If that's not the cause of your problem, please post back with more details...

I can't transfer tv show from itunes to ipod

I'm on automatic sync, but a tvshow i purchased won't transfer. It has next to the check/no check box. Then an alert pops up saying unable to find file. I just bought the show from from itunes store. A couple of songs came out this way too. Whats up?

My 13 yr. old daughter solved this problem, and successfully imported the TV show to her Ipod.
She tells me she has no idea how she did it, she just did it.
So, although I guess my problem is solved, I'd still love to know what the answer is.

Though I have doubts for success, you might try a SMC reset. It can do no harm. Otherwise, barring suggestions from others, the Apple Store or qualified repair facility is the last option.

Since you are running Windows 2000, you most likely have a pretty old version of Windows Media Player. Easiest thing for you to do would be to puchase a USB Card Reader that supports Micro SD cards, and simply drag and drop your music to the /AUDIO folder on the card. Put the card back into your phone and you're done!

I have
Exported the pics from iPhoto to the desktop. Inserted sd card into side of iMac. The icon of card popped up.
Attempts to no avail:
1)   Dragged the photos to the disk icon for the sd card.
2)   Dragged pictures into the DCIM folder (where all photos taken on camera resided).
3)   Created new folder. Put photos from desktop into folder and dragged ne folder inside DCIM -since pictures taken at different times had their own folders inside the DCIM folder.
Every time the photos/files end up showing up on the sd card as long as it is in my computer but when ejected and inserted into my camera, all imported photos/jpeg file are gone.
Hmmmmm
