itunes reloading tv shows I've deleted from my ipad

Ipad 2, iOS7, latest mac os (mavericks), os and itunes and everything totally up to date.


I delete a show from my ipad after watching it. These are shows I've bought from the itunes store. Next time I sync the shows get reloaded onto my ipad. I've tried deleting them again and agfain, both in the videos app on the ipad and in the settings>general>usage section. Same thing keeps happening. This is getting maddening.

Don't do it that way. If you want to delete an iTunes item off your iPad, plug your iPad and ask iTunes to unsync that item for the next sync. For example, you have the movie "Iron Man" synced to your iPad from your computer. To delete it, plug your iPad in. Go to the iPad window and go to the Movies tab. Uncheck "Iron Man" from the list of movies. Click sync.

You need to tell iTunes to stop syncing hte TV shows back onto your iPad. There are at least two ways to do this.

  • iTunes > Preferences... > General > Show list checkboxes on. Then select your iPad and check "Sync only checked songs and videos". Then uncheck the TV shows you don't want, and sync.
  • Select your iPad and click TV Shows. Adjust your settings there accordingly.
