Videos not syncing to ipod touch

Hey! I have a 16gb ipod touch and am having problems with the videos. I have 3 videos under movies in my itunes and 2 episodes under tv in my itunes and I've made sure all of them are checked however no matter how many times I sync my ipod they don't end up there. The only videos that end up on there under videos are the music videos that are in my music area of itunes. Help? Thanks!

First of all video needs to be compatible with the iPod before it will transfer. Video bought through iTunes should transfer. Next check your iPods sync settings, with it selected in iTunes check the settings in the Movies and TV Shows tabs. TV Shows are set to only sync unwatched episodes by default, either reset the playcount or set the sync setting to sync all episodes.

If the movies were downloaded from other sources you may need to convert them to make the iPod compatible. Use a third party program to convert it or right click it in iTunes and select make iPod version. If "Make iPod version" does not show up it may already be compatible.

All of the videos and tv shows are bought from the itunes store so I would figure they'd just automatically sync. Where exactly do I go to check the settings? Sorry, I'm a total PC person and know a lot about PC's but I get stuck with mac stuff.

Also, one other question if anyone can answer this...I have applications like AroundMe where you can find stuff in your area...and I'm out of town right now and it found the correct location but usually when I am back at home (near Savannah, Ga) it finds me as being near Atlanta...is that something I would have to configure with my router?

Select the iPod in iTunes then select the TV Show tab on the right to set the TV Shows sync settings.
