Why does a tv episode already on my phone get deleted and readded when I sync with Itunes?

I purchased a tv episode directly on my iPhone, (using the same Apple ID I always use).  It downloaded without any trouble and plays fine, but whenever I go to sync my phone with iTunes, the episode proceeds to redownload as if it were not already on my phone.  If I go to open the videos on my phone while it is syncing, the episode is grayed out.  This is very annoying because I have to wait for the episode to finish syncing (a good ten minutes or so), even if I'm just trying to sync a few songs.  Any idea what the issue is?

Sorry.  I'm looking now and I'm seeing it in my library.  I just thought it wasn't there since it was downloaded on my phone.  But what you said worked about deleting it from my library.  Thank you so much!

    how long to charge the iPhone battery when it is new?
    Some say it is 6 or more hours
    thanks for the help
    As I said, you won't hurt a lithium-ion battery by not fully charging it prior to use.  These batteries don't have a "memory" like older nickel cadmium batteries do so it doesn't compromise it's ability to fully charge by using it with only a partial charge.  You also can't overcharge it; your charger will go into "trickle" charge mode once it reaches about 95% charge and remain that way.  If you want to wait to use it, charge it overnight.  If you don't, just charge it for a couple of hours, the fully charge it once you don't need to use it for a while.

  • TS3992 what does it mean that my iphone will no longer back up to my computer automatically when i sync with itunes?

    What does it mean that "my iphone will no longer back up to my computer automatically when I sync with itunes", if I turn my icloud backup to "on"? This doesnt sound like something that will make things smoother? I just recently lost all my calendar events and I am hoping to recover them.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You can either back up to iTunes or to iCloud, you you choose to back up to iCloud, back up to iTunes will be turned off. Personally, I'd always back up to iTunes unless there is a good reason not to you.

  • I forgot passcode on my iphone5 and tried to restore it through itunes on my PC. However it gave me an error message saying that that my phone could't be restored due to an unknown error. Now my phone does't turn off and it doesn't sync with itunes.

  • I've downloaded an audiobook from my local public library and have already listened to it.  It still shows up on my IPod, but when I sync with iTunes, I can't find it our delete it.  Please advise?

    Sometimes simply restarting your iTunes, the computer and the iPad is all that it takes to correct an issue like this so try that. Quit iTunes, reboot your computer, and restart the iPad. Then try the sync again.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

  • TS4006 when using iCloud between mac and pad, what does this mean - "your iPad will  no longer back up to your computer automatically when you sync with iTunes"

    when using iCloud between mac and pad, what does this mean - "your iPad will  no longer back up to your computer automatically when you sync with iTunes"
    DONT WORRY EVERYONE, FOUND THE ANSWER I NEEDED FROM ANOTHER POSTING - THANK YOU

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You don't need to do anything, you have chosen to back up to iCloud instead of iTunes.
    Being able to back up to the cloud can be very useful, especially if you don't have access to a computer or have infrequent access to one, however unless you specifically need to use iCloud for back up, you will find backing up to iTunes significantly more convenient and possibly more reliable.

  • Why does a blank On-The-Go playlist appear when I sync with iTunes?

  • IPad with retina is stuck on error message that iPad is unable to back up.  When hit ok, the message does not go away.  Cannot power down.  Don't have computer to sync with iTunes.  Now what?

    My coworker has a fairly new iPad with retina display.  She has an error message that the iPad has not been backed up and needs to back up when locked, on wifi, and connected to a power supply.  It has an ok button to acknowledge the message.  Every time she hits the ok button, the error message remains.  She is unable to power down because the error message stays at the top and disables the ability to use any other touch portions of the screen.  She tried using Siri to reboot, but Siri was of no help.  She just kept saying that she does not wear boots.  Holding the power button down for an extended period also did not help.  She does not have access to the computer that has her iTunes on it, so she cannot sync it via cable.  She also does not want to do a reset because she has several photos that she does not want to lose.  What can she do?

    Try holding the Home and Power keys at the same time for approx 10 seconds or until the Apple logo appears, this will 'reset' the device - it won't lose any data doing this, let us know how you get on.

  • HT5622 My IPhone will no longer back up to my computer automatically when I sync with iTunes- why???

    My iPhone will no longer back up to my computer automaticall when I sync with iTunes- why

    Probably because you have elected to automatically back up to iCloud instead.  You can still manually back up by clicking Back Up Now on the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings, it just won't be automatic.

  • What does "extracted channel PDF" mean and why does it continually duplicate on my desktop?  I think it happens when I move a file in Finder to another file and when I copy some web files.  How do I avoid this on my Mac (Mavericks)?  Thanks for your help!

    What does "extracted channel PDF" mean and why does it continually duplicate on my desktop?  I think it happens when I move a file in Finder to another file and when I copy some web files.  I have to immediately move to trash all the duplications on my desktop.  How do I avoid this on my Mac (Mavericks)?  Thanks for your help!

    What application is set to open PDF files? If you CNTRL click on the file and open with Preview does the problem occur?
    If not change the default application to open PDF files to Preview.
    You can do this by highlighting the file and either use CMD i or Get Info , this will open a window with the info on the file with an option to change the application that opens the file.
    That's all I can think of.

  • Why does the document window in illustrator cs6 move to the far left when I reopen the file?

    why does the document window in illustrator cs6 move to the far left when I reopen the file?

    Hi John,
    thanks for the fast response.  cs5 remembered the window position.  I like having the window in the middle as I have a 27" monitor.  I just upgraded to cs6 yesterday and I'm sure it was remembering the window document position.  I think.  If i find out how to fix this, I'll post it here.
    And while I'm on the subject of cs6, why the f*** did adobe combine the stroke and swatches pallettes?  Now I forever have to click stroke and swatch tabs all day.  And I love the army and navy file icons of photoshop and illustrator.  I won't comment on Acrobat X.  ; (
