itunes tv shows wont transfer to my itouch

Anybody know why I cannot sync TV shows I have purchased with my ipod touch?

I have tried several times and they do not transfer. I also have another pod could this be it? mind you I purchased a LOST last night and attempted to put it on my touch and it would not transfer.

Any ideas greatly appreciated.

Are you getting any error message? I have many purchased shows and I put a fair number of them on my iPod Touch (before I returned it to the store as unwatchable, sigh)

I put them in my library, selected the ones I wanted, and then used drag-and-drop to get them onto the iPod, worked like a charm.

You have to play them on your PC/Mac at least once first. Not in entirety or anything... just so you can activate them on that PC.

I don't think that is the case, I never had to do that with the tv shows I have bought and I have bought over 50.

No error message they just do not transfer onto the pod. I cannot even see a TV show playlist on my pod.

You have it set to manually manage music & video, or sync? If sync, what are the settings on the iTunes video tab for the ipod?

I think I have solved it. I had my tuch set to only sync with 2 playlists(1 movies 1 music) I was dragging the LOST's into one of these folders. I just set the touch to also sync with TV shows and it now seems OK, I guess you cannot move purchased stuff to other playlists?
