Why do I get deleted iCal events synced to my iPod Touch?

Hi,
Recently I had to deal with a quite a complicated schedule of events, some that repeated every second day at night, others every third day in the morning, etc. I made errors, deleted them, started over. When I synced, all my errors showed up on my iPod, even when I clicked ‘replace all information from this computer on next sync.’
Can someone help?

Hi Frederick,
1. I assume you all know that this is a user forum, not an Apple support group.
Oh yes, do I ever know that this is not an Apple support group..., but probably not in the sense that you meant it. What about the disastrous firmware for Airport Extreme 4.xx, which dropped connections right left and center, with literally hundreds of forum visitors to get help and advice, and completely ignored by Apple? What about the erratic cursor jumping in system 10.2 to 10.4, where one started to type and suddenly the cursor jumped to a completely different spot in the document and continued there, also reported by dozens of people completely ignored by Apple? Would you like me to continue?
2. Try resetting iSync. Open iSync, go to Preferences, and under Advanced, click on Reset Sync History. (If it is greyed out, wait a bit.)
I don’t and cannot use iSync, since my iPod touch is not a bluetooth device. I use iTunes and the option of resetting the sync history is not present in iTunes. If it is, can you direct me where in the preferences this is available?
Thank you for your help,
Klaus

  • Ical not syncing properly on iPod touch

    No matter what I do I can't seem to get ical to sync properly to my ipod touch.  Works great on ipad 2.  I have completely removed calendars from ipod and verified that my MBP calendar is correct, but when I sync I get 4 or 5 copies of every event for every day.  How can I get it to sync properly?

    PROBLEM SOLVED: I backed up my iCal data (from within iCal); quit; deleted all prefs, iCal cache files, and the whole Calendars folder in my Library; then relaunched iCal and Restored from my backup file. iTunes then showed the correct list of calendars when I connected my iPod touch, and I got a proper sync. Who knows, maybe this will also fix the frequent runaway crashes I've been having.

  • ICal not syncing properly w/ iPod Touch

    I believe this is an iCal problem, not an iPod issue:
    My new iPod Touch is not syncing properly with my iCal calendars. I notice after syncing "All Calendars" that some of my appointments in iCal were showing up, but most were not. And some events on my iPod were not on my laptop. I tried the "Replace Information" option under Info in iTunes, but it didn't help. Then I noticed something even weirder -- the list of Calendars that appears in the "Selected Calendars" list in iTunes is NOT my current set of calendars. The iTunes list includes some calendars that I have deleted or renamed, and is missing some new ones. So I guess I'm not surprised by the events being out of sync, but how can this be? How can iTunes be picking up an obsolete set of calendars and events?
    I tried a backup within iCal, then deleted every calendar one-by-one, leaving just a new calender named "empty". I quit iCal and iTunes, and also deleted four files in my Prefs folder and the iCal folder in Application support. Then I did restored from my iCal backup, and quit and restarted both iCal and iTunes. After all that, iTunes still shows the old list of calendars.
    I'll also mention that iCal itself has been very squirrelly for quite a long time. Every so often it will just "run away", chewing up CPU and memory until I force-quit. Haven't solved that one, yet, either.
    Any suggestions?

  • Why do photos take so long to sync with my iPod touch?

    Recently my 60Gb iPod touch has been taking longer and longer to sync photos. Music, movies, apps, etc are all ok, its just pictures taking a very long time indeed.
    I have tried resetting and erasing all data to start from scratch but I still have the same issue. For instance, I set the iPod syncing at 0830 this morning, went out for the day and as I type now at 2215, (well over 12 hours later) iTunes says it is 'optimizing photo 4103 of 9713'. Not only that, it only appears to be optimizing 1 photo every minute or so. Do the math, its going to take forever to complete the process!
    I know its a lot of photos, but it never used to be problem. I should mention that my data is on a remote Netgear Stora 1Tb drive, but I dont see how this would make a difference, as music, movies, etc are copied over extremely fast. It is only photos that are causing me problems.
    I would be grateful if anyone can point me in the right direction on this one.

    Vmondo--
    A couple of items, one of which has already been mentioned: Picture size. Another is picture type; jpegs seem to load faster.
    iOS4 has several new bells and whistles, which may affect things. Things like folders, multitasking, etc. also consume processing speed. The iPod isn't like my MacBook which processes things really quickly. It should; it has more processing capability.
    As a side note, part of the issue may be iTunes for Windows itself. (No proof, but the iPod is an Apple gadget, and as such works slightly better with a Mac. Slightly is the key word here.)
    Finally...the iPod is, at the end of the day, a music device--not a pocket sized photo album. That it can hold every digital picture one has taken in the last five years is not really relevant. It can hold video clips, pictures, etc. but it's still a device for music and some well-crafted apps. The hope is that, in the next update of iOS4, the picture issue (because you're not alone) can/will be resolved.
    Now...
    1. I tried answering this above.
    2. You might want to check your settings for photos. It shouldn't be optimizing every time you synch, I wouldn't think, unless you are adding or changing pictures.
    You can fill your iPod with whatever you want. From Computer Science 225: All an iPod is, is a fancy HD like what is on a computer. The more you put on the HD, the slower it takes to get where you want to go. This is why it is recommended if you get to with 10-15% of full on your HD, you remove stuff--or get a larger HD and migrate everything on the old HD to it. Even a SSD like the iPod touch has a limit, based on processor speed and available memory.

  • Why cant i get any songs to go on my ipod touch when I sync it?

    I have synced my ipod several times in the past. It is only 5 months old. I have owned several ipod and an ipad in the past and never had this problem before. I synced it tonight to add a few songs. I have "sync only checked songs" clicked. I finished to sync and checked the ipod and there were many songs missing. I tried a few more times and still could not get all of the songs on there. I then tried restoring the ipod. I synced it after the restore and there were no songs, videos, apps, or anything on the ipod. I have since restored and synced it several times with no success. There is NOTHING on the ipod. It shows it syncing, it shows ech song going on there and each video and when the sync completes, there is nothing on hte ipod. I have used all 4 usb ports and 3 different cables just incase it was a problem with one of those. Does anyone know what to do? Has anyone else had this problem? oh, and this happened right after I updated to 4.3.3

    I have exactly the same problem and am extremely frustrated.  I have reset it, restored it rebooted the computer and stil nothing at all.  This is a very recent problem as I have synced it only a few weeks ago with no problem.

  • Is there a way to get iCloud tabs to sync between my iPod touch and Safari for Windows?

    I would like to know if there is a setting or something that I'm missing over...
    I already have iTunes and the iCloud Control Panel on my Windows 8 computer.  Is the iCloud Tab feature Mac-only or can I get it to sync with Safari for Windows?  Thanks for the help.

    OS X Lion and Windows 7 users can still sync Bookmarks and the Reading List with iOS devices via iCloud when using Safari 5.1. The iCloud Control Panel 2.1 for Windows also supports syncing Bookmarks with Internet Explorer 9, but not the Reading List as IE simply doesn’t have an equivalent feature.
    While not as seamless as the iCloud Tabs feature, Bookmarks and Reading List can still be an effective way to share pages between your Windows 7 PC and your iOS devices; if you’re using Safari on Windows, the Reading List is best for storing and sharing one-time content while Bookmarks obviously are better suited for keeping track of pages that you may want to refer back to more than once.

    According to this, I think you can.

  • Why have deleted iCal events suddenly reappeared in my calender?

    Assistance needed please for an iCal issue on Snow Leopard (iMac).
    A bunch of formerly deleted iCal events have suddenly reappeared in iCal. I thought this would be easily resolved by using Time Machine (external HD) to restore the calendar files to when they were workings ok (a couple of days ago). Although this initially appeared to work, all the previously deleted events have suddenly reappeared.
    If I was using iCloud I'd assume it was some kind of syncing issue, but I'm not. Least I can rule that out.

  • Syncing deletes iCal events added on iPod Touch

    Has anyone noticed that events added on the iPod Touch are deleted upon syncing on iTunes? I'm restoring the touch right now to see if that solves the problem...

    Thanks for the suggestion. I do not have that option checked so that shouldn't be causing problems. I did the restore but it did not help. However, I now noticed that under the "info" tab, where I check sync with the various calendars on my computer there is a line that says "put new events created on this ipod into the calendar" and then a list of calendars. Interestingly, each calendar appears twice on that list. Any ideas on how I could reset that list?

  • TS3999 why does the calendar delete past events?

    why does the calendar delete past events?

    Hello 123Giblet,
    The iPhone has a setting for how long a past event will appear in your calendar.  I found steps to help you change this setting in the iPhone User Guide:
    Calendar settings
    There are several settings in Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars that affect Calendar and your calendar accounts. These include:
    •Syncing of past events (future events are always synced)
    •Alert tone played for new meeting invitations
    •Calendar time zone support, to show dates and times using a different time zone
    When you tap on Sync, you will be given several options for how long you want past events to stay on your iPhone, and there is also an option to select All Events so that they remain on your calendar.  You can find this information on page 69 of the iPhone User Guide

    Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Communities.
    Best,

  • How can I get my ical events from my iMac to my iPhone? Anything I entered into ical on my iPhone will transfer to ical on iMac when plugged in, but not vice versa.

    How can I get my ical events from my iMac to my iPhone? Anything I entered into ical on my iPhone will transfer to ical on iMac when plugged in, but not vice versa. I think I have changed my iPhone (after looking at similar questions) to iCloud, but it's still not syncing.

    You need to sign into your iCloud account on your Mac, and check the Calendar option. System Preferences>iCloud, sign on your iCloud account, check the apps you want to sync with your device.

  • How do I save photos that have been synced to my Ipad2, so that they do not get deleted when I sync with a different photo file on my computer.

    How do I save photos that have been synced to my Ipad2, so that they do not get deleted when I sync with a different photo foder on my computer (Pc win7).

    Place that first folder of photos that you synced to the iPad within the main folder of photos that you sync from and select them to sync again. You can place any number of subfolders within the main folder that you sync from and select those folders to sync. Just "tick"(select) the folders in the photos tab in iTunes.
