Read from the bottom-up. My responses in black bold, hers in red.
1. Not the first time I've had an experience like this with their support.
2. In my most recent response, I am admittedly nastier than I should be...but sorry, nothing pisses me off more than when I ask a question to a company's support site, and I just get boilerplate responses that don't even apply.

Okay, you're clearly NOT reading my question and instead just sending me boilerplate text.
I PURCHASED THESE TV SHOWS FROM THE ITUNES STORE. They are not from a DVD. This is from a purchase. When I try to put them on the iPad, it tells me they are incompatible with the iPad. This is content I purchased from APPLE. Why are they incompatible with the iPad?

Dear Matt,
This is Hena from iTunes Store Customer Support.
I understand that you want to sync the item you purchased to your ipad. I am happy to resolve your issue.
I am pleased to inform you that you can control the content on an iPad by enabling the "Manually manage music and videos" option in iTunes. With this feature enabled, you will be able to pick and choose the content that your iPad contains. You'll also be able to transfer items from other libraries without erasing the current content of the iPad. To learn how to enable this feature, please see:

This doesn't answer my question at all. I'm not trying to burn to DVD...I'm trying to sync to an iPad.
