TV Shows on iPod Touch - Won't Sync!

Hello 🙂

I got the iPod Touch for Xmas and set it up. Music, music videos, movies, apps all synced up. The only thing that won't sync are my television shows - all bought through iTunes.

Any advice on how to help?

Thanks!

I usually drag and drop, but try this.

1. Under devices in itunes, single click on the ipod name and the summary tab information will be displayed.
2. Click on TV Shows and make sure athat the "Sync" check box is checked.
3. If you want to sync "all unwathed" select it from the "episodes of" box or select the "All Tv Shows" radio button.
4. Click Sync

FYI: If you snyc all shows if you remove any from your itunes library, they will be removed from your ipod when you sync it the next time.

okay, i had this same problem. the way to fix it is simple enough. go on to your ipod under devices on itunes.the screen you should see is the one with a picture of an ipod and all of your sync options on. move along the tabs at the top of that screen to tv shows. select the check box sync and make sure you also select all tv shows including unwatched. befpoore you do anything else! make sure to click apply in the bottom right hand corner. as soon as you do this your ipod will sync the tv shows. i hope this has helped, it took me a while to figure it out myself.

This does not work for me. When I go to sync the TV Shows, it erases all of my music. When I go to sync the music, it erases all my TV Shows. It seems like Apple is not allowing to have both TV Shows and Music on the Ipod at the same time. If I try to manually put the items in my Ipod, it doesn't do anything. I plan on calling Apple later today to figure out what is wrong.
