What happens when you try to sync them? Have you double checked to make sure they are configured to sync to your iPod from under the iPod's TV Shows tab.


To access this tab, plug your iPod in and select it from under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes. This will bring you to the iPod's Summary tab. Locate the TV Shows tab along the top and select it. Here you can configure what and how TV Shows are sync to your device. If you do make any changes from under this tab, be sure to hit the Apply button when finished to sync the updated changes to your device.

It's worth noting that TV Shows in HD will not sync to the iPod Classic. Only Standard Definition TV Shows are capable of syncing to your iPod. To determine if the TV Shows in in HD or SD, simply go to your list of TV Shows, find the episode and question, and look for a tag next to the show title.


HD Episodes will have an HD tag next to them.

When both HD/SD shows are available on your PC, you'll see an HD | SD tag.

If the show isn't in HD on the iTunes Store, there won't be a tag at all.

There is a way to sync your HD tv shows and movies to your ipod. When you go into your itunes account - select purchases - select TV shows or movies, select the show or movie that you want to sync, now on the bottom of the screen uncheck the box that reads download HD when available. This should create a standard definition show for you to sync to your ipod. 🙂 Hope this works for you!
