HI,

Authorize a computer: Open iTunes on the computer, then choose Store > Authorize
Computer.

See if that helps.

nope,
its for the ipad, my macbook pro plays all the videos. its when i sync my new ipad it wont sync checked episodes. it will however sync complete seasons. so if i check the box at the top of the shows cue i think it says check all or sync season whatever is at the top. when i check that it will upload all the videos. if i uncheck it and only check certain episodes it does nothing.
thanks

allright i figured this out.
turns out i was syncing hi def video only so if i bought a tv season in standard it wouldn't sync so to fix this for the ipad goto your summary page in itunes and go to the options part of the page and clik standard def video. then resync and it will sync the videos you have checked and also the video wasnt checked in the actual itunes library for some reason it was only check on the ipad. i havent plugged in the iphone yet so im hoping itunes is smart enough to recognize that i only wanted it sync to the ipad and not to the phone.

I purchased an episode of "Glee", thru the STORE in iTunes, which seemed to download in an SD and HD file. However, no matter how many times I sync my iPad with iTunes, this episode (or for that fact ANY movie) will NOT sync, and I can not watch this thru the iPad's "Video" player. What's the purpose of downloading or adding videos to the iTunes library when it will not sync with my iPad and have to watch it on my PC????

By the way I have ALL of my videos checked to sync but none of them EVER get put on my iPad.
