Why can't I convert a tv show to my ipod?

I have downloaded a tv movie of Itunes and it won't play on the Ipod Nano. When I try to convert it the "Create ipod or iphone version" is grayed out and can not be selected. How can I convert this video to play on the ipod?

Hey vduplessis00,
Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you may currently have the HD version of a TV show downloaded to your library. As HD content is not compatible with iPod nano, you'll want to download the SD version of this content from iTunes in the Cloud, if available. Here's how to do it:
iTunes: Sync purchased HD videos to iPod or iOS device
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4223
Syncing video to iPhone 3G or earlier, iPod touch (1st or 2nd generation), iPod classic, iPod 5th generation, or iPod nano (3rd, 4th, or 5th generation)
1. Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes installed on your computer. You can download the latest version for free here.
2. Open iTunes on your computer.
3. From the Store menu, choose Store > Sign In, and then enter your Apple ID and password.
4. Navigate to your Purchased page. Find it by clicking Movies or TV Shows from the top navigation bar in the iTunes Store, and then click Purchased from "QUICK LINKS" in the iTunes Store.
5. Choose the appropriate video type: Movies or TV Shows.
6. In the lower-right corner of the screen, deselect the box next to "Download HD When Available."
7. Search for the desired video and click the download button.
8. This should download the standard definition version to your computer so you can sync to your device.
Thanks,
Matt M.

Why can I not Convert a Microsoft Office Document to a PDF using the Context Menu?

Why can I not Convert a Microsoft Office 2013 Document to a PDF using the options found in the Context Menu? (Ex: Convert to PDF, Combine Supported Files into PDF?)
I updated to Acrobat XI PRO recently, but now i'm unable to combine or convert microsoft word docs to PDF.
In Adobe Acrobat X I had this feature below, and it would combine Microsoft Office Documents all into a single PDF. Now I no longer have this issue in Adobe Acrobat XI Pro. It seems like it was program named Adobe Elements that was running the conversion.

Ajlan. That page is showing as not available. Would the fix apply to Adobe Acrobat X and XI?

Why can't i convert a PDF file to word?

Hi,
It seems it was working fine earlier.
It might be possible problem is file specific.
Did you check with different files?
Is it showing any error while you are converting?

why can I not convert pdf into word file?

This is not a feature of Adobe Reader. You'll need either Acrobat or a subscription to one of the web-based services that Adobe offers (like PDF Pack) to do it.

Hi EdAAK,
I've checked your account, and see no issues with your subscription. So, if you're using a web browser, please log out, clear the browser cache, and then log back in to https://cloud.acrobat.com. And, if you're using Reader, make sure that you're logged in—you should see your name listed in the upper-right corner. If not, click the Sign In link and then sign in with your user name and password.
Please let us know how it goes.
Best,
Sara

Why can't I buy a tv show on itunes???

why can't I buy a tv show on itunes? when I click on buy it takes me to verify my billing info and when I do it asks me to enter my password for the thirth time and it will take me back to checking my billing info over and over and over.... it doesn't tell me that I am entering any info wrong. neither I am.

No idea, absent some idea of what exactly you were doing to "get a tv show ..... on my iPad".
The procedures described in your User's Guide will work for most. Have you tried them?

Why can't I access German TV shows from US iTunes account??

I am a German Expat living in the US & I want to buy German TV shows in the iTunes store. Mainly for my daughter whom I want to raise bilingual. Why can't I access German TV shows?? And if there is a way, how? I have a US billing address.
Arem't we in an international age now? This is very limiting.

There are a lot of great original German TV shows as well. Also, I would not mind my daughter watching her favorite US shows, such as Dora or Mickey Mouse Clubhouse dubbed in German. Any way she deepens her German language skills is fine by me.
I also feel it's somewhat unfair (discriminatory even?) if hispanic immigrants have access to their language in the iTunes TV show section, but not other nationalities, only because there are less Germans here (for example). Come to think of it, it's a great way to learn any forreign language for US students, if they were able to easily download foreign TV content...
The one big advantage of digital downloads of TV and movies, in my eyes, would be the "accross the border" ease of access. I sure hope the powers that be will become more aware of this and fix this issue. At least a "selection" of the most popular, original TV shows could be available.

Why can't i access my app store on my iPod?

Why can't i access my app store on my ipod 4th generation? I click on it and it won't let me access my app, itunes, or any app like social media apps with internet, but I can still access my games that have internet. It confuses me and i dont know what to? I found it didnt work because i wanted to get a game one day that i saw people playing thought it was cool, and wanted to get it. It didnt work and said cannot connect to iTunes store. So i thought i was because i was at school and my school has a filter and it has been blocking alot since its really close to the end of the year, but when i went home and tried to get into it. It still didnt work. So if anyone knows how to help can you please help. Thank you .

Try this:
Quit all apps: Double tap the Home button, hold an app icon until it wiggles, tap for each open app, double tap the Home button again
then
Reset: Hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons and don’t let go until the screen goes dark and the Apple logo appears (no data will be lost)
