2nd gen, not syncing contacts with new mini

I have just moved from a G5 to a Mac mini, iTunes moved fine, when I notice my contact were not updating I told my 2nd gen iTouch to sync with the mini. Now my contact on the iTouch are empty, I can ad new with the iTouch the show on my mini.

What does this mean: " I can ad new with the iTouch the show on my mini."
What I suspect is that when you synced the iPod to the new computer iTunes erased the iPod and replaced its contents with what was in the library of the new computer.

I have new mini..... Synced and seemed to be fine. But my pics on my I pad 2 did not sync to my new mini. Thoughts?

Your iCloud backup only included max. the photos of your camera roll, so if you still have access to your old iPad and if it is still connected to wifi, then I would recommend using another photo storage option like Flickr (Website: http://flickr.com, App: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/flickr/id328407587?mt=8) or Dropbox for uploading/storing and accessing your photos from your devices. Of course you could also sync your photos via iTunes on your computer by connecting your devices to your Mac/PC.

IPod shuffle 2nd gen not syncing

I have a 2nd gen iPod shuffle that won't sync consistently with my PC (windows 7)
Recently uninstalled/reinstalled iTunes and successfully synced. Overnight something happened and now my device is not recognized. When I plug it in, a yellow light comes on briefly but nothing else. Have tried restarting and different USB ports as well with no success. I followed the instructions online for troubleshooting, which is how I got it to work yesterday, but it's not being recognized in iTunes, or in my storage devices. I'm getting tired of the same songs so I need some help!

It may still be related to an issue with USB port not supplying enough power. iPods need to operate AND charge its battery, so other low-power devices may work fine, while the iPod does not.
Is the symptom the same as before...? The shuffle's light comes on initially, but then goes off.
If you happen to have a self-powered USB 2.0 hub, try connecting the hub to the computer's port, and the iPod to the hub. A "self-powered hub" is one that has its own power supply that plugs into a wall outlet. If the problem is lack of power on the port, it may work this way because the hub is supplying the power.

ITUNES on iMac not Syncing Contacts with iPhone

Problems syncing contacts between iPhone 4S on iOS 7 to my iMAC Address Book (OSX 10.7.5) using iTunes.
How are conflicts resolved? There don't seem to be any preferences or settings, but I'm assuming iTunes should pop up with a message when there's a conflict asking which contact to use?
New contacts on my iPhone are not syncing over to my computer
Note: I do not use iCloud -- it ruined my contacts and took much time to fix, so I want to just sync my devices with iTunes. I would like to get rid of all references to iCloud if there were a way!
This process was much slicker and easier with a Palm Pilot many moons ago!!
I am asked HERE to select a category under iTunes: Importing & Burning; Installing/Removing/Upgrading; Podcasting and Radio; or iTunes Store. MY ISSUE FITS NONE OF THESE!!! So now I have another question -- where should I be posting my question???

Hello ascotsgranny,

Why does my Ipod touch 5th gen not sync podcasts with my Windows Itunes? Both are up to date with versions.

I didn't see this asked so sorry if this is a duplicate question.
In Itunes (it is the most recent version for windows available as of 2/12/2014) all my podcasts are showing they have downlaoded to my PC. They don't have the little cloud next to them. I sync my Ipod touch 5th gen. The sync shows everything was synced. I look at the "Whats on this ipod" tab and they are listed. But when I disconnect the ipod via the "eject" icon on the Ipod button in itunes and look at the podcasts they still show as not downloaded (greyed out and if wifi is turned on the little cloud is next to them ).
So whats going on? I had this issue with my ipod touch 4th gen as well and though it was because the podcast app stopped upgrading but the itunes on windwos did. But the syncing of the podcasts are even worse with the 5th gen then they were with the 4th gen.
I typically don't have wifi turned on since I want to sync the ipod via itunes. So I have a central place to keep the old podcasts without having to take space on the ipod itself. I saw some references to the downloading of podacasts are done only via wifi, but that just didn't make sense. Why be able to sync Itunes if they are just going to turn around and make you do the same on the device?
Any ideas? Suggestions?
Thanks for the help in advance.

HT204150 icloud is not syncing contacts with my imac. I've already re-set things & when I re-check icloud contacts it initiates; but nothing shows up in address book

Is anyone present who can help me with a syncing issue between icloud & my imac address book? I've already done the obvious...

Welcome to the Apple community.
First check that all your settings are correct, that contact syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
Make sure the contacts you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' group and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud group (you can do this by checking in groups), non iCloud contacts will not sync.
If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your contacts are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking contact syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling contact syncing.

Outlook not sync contacts with changed "file as" field?

I am syncing contacts and calendar from Outlook on my office PC (and everything else from Mac at home). I have a very large contact list and have noticed that a number of key contacts have not synced. It appears that any contacts with a changed "file as" field have not been syned (e.g. contact entry of "Daniel Smith" with "file as" field altered in Outlook to show "Dan Smith" does not show anywhere on iPhone). Needless to say, these are actually the contacts that I use most often so I'm hoping to find a solution.
On a related point, it's hard to determine exactly how many contacts are not syncing b/c I can't find anyplace on the iPhone or in iTunes that lists shows info on the number of contacts (so I can't compare to my count in Outlook).
Has anyone else experienced this problem? Are there any known solutions or work-arounds? (I'm hoping to avoid a full export, clean-up, and import to iPhone through the Mac Address Book or similar b/c I'm concerned that in then trying to sync w/ Outlook I'd get duplicates. Also, my contact list has thousands of contacts so it would be very dedious. My current work-around is to still carry my Treo in my briefcase, which is not ideal).
Thanks in advance for any help.

boynsea: Thanks for the input, but isn't the IMAP aspect of Outlook limited to the way one can connect to an Exchange server for e-mail? I've been successful in getting the IMAP connection for e-mail working. Contacts and calendar are designed to sync when physically docked with the computer rather than over-the-air; I know, if something like exchange activesync is ever licensed for iPhone then the calendar can be updated over-the-air, but I suspect that contacts will always be synced only when docked (which is how my Treo was set up).
Anyway, I did test my theory about the "file-as" field by changing a few contacts back to their default display and now they sync just fine. I really don't want to have to do this for all contacts, and can't actually tell how many are involved since I haven't found anyplace that the number of contacts is listed. Also, does anyone know if there is a readily accessible syncronization log that can be checked? That might show those contacts that are rejected.
Thanks.

Windows xp home edition works program does not sync contacts with ipod

I recently purchased a new computer with the Windows XP Home edition and it had a new program called Works installed. It takes the place of excel, powerpoint, calender, outlook, etc. Started to add contacts and my iPod 30gb says it can't sync contacts without outlook. Is there a patch fix for this? My old computer is on it's way to my son's, several hours away.

I don't own an iPod touch. I own an older 30 gb with click wheel. I am new to this whole thing-iPods, forums, etc. Of everyone in my family (adults) I am the most literate when it comes to computers and the other person is too young to be included in online forums. I just need to know if there is a fix for the iPod to correct the only with Outlook sync for the address book part of it.

Syncing contacts with new itunes 11

So the new Itunes 11 doesn't immediately allow syncing of contacts etc to outlook.
Why is it that Apple make everything so difficult! You get an upgrade every week, of 50-100mb. And now I've got to download the Cloud add-in as well - to set my contacts syncing. Help aint helpful either guys!

Yeah well OK. I was having a bad day so will cop your rebuke on the chin...
It's not so easy to get support from Apple directly unless you're in USA. I'm in Australia and not even close to that time zone.
The regular updates from Apple are frustrating because they often substantially change the way things appear and the way they work (with Windows anyway) and require time and attention. If you don't accept the update, in time, the device won't sync at all, so you have to accept the updates sooner or later.
I have several Apple devices. I took the risk of syncing my old Ipod (8 years old) to Itunes to put new stuff on it (haven't synced it for 2 yrs I guess) and it just wouldn't work. Synced 1/2 songs and did all sorts of weird stuff. Have reloaded it etc. No use. I guess I just have to buy a new one.
Sometimes the updates do things without your knowledge. Such as the last update which removed the Google Map and replaced it with the Apple one which may have worked well in USA but it doesn't work in Australia at all. What was a great tool is now substantially less useful. Apple don't like Google so we, the consumer, lose.
Anyway, I'll get back in my box now and grow up

ITunes does not sync contacts with outlook

Hi,
After upgrading from office 2003 to 2013 no contact is being synced with my iPhone over iTunes (I'm using Windows-7).
When selecting "sync" it says that syncing is in progress and it takes a while to complete the syncing but no contact is being synced with outlook contacts.
Uninstalling and reintalling of iTunes didn't help.
Thanks

iDevices can only be synced via iCloud or to a supported application on the computer via iTunes, but not both. Turn off syncing via iCloud to enable the option in iTunes on the computer.

Ipod Touch 2nd Gen not syncing photos

One of my ipod touch's albums to sync is iPhoto's "last import" album. It always updates the album every time I import new photos into iPhoto. However, it has stopped doing that. I have old photos in my album now instead of the most recent import. In "Last Import" on my iPod, it's showing me my import from two times ago, not the most recent. I've clicked SYNC in iTunes about 5 times, but it won't update. My music and podcasts are all updated, just not my photos.

If you have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar. The sidebar is where Devices appears.
Next try:

IPhone not syncing Contacts to Address Book

I noticed that my iPhone (both original iPhone and iPhone 3G) was not syncing contacts with Address Book. I tried to Reset Sync History in iSync, and when I have tried to replace the contacts on iPhone under the Advanced options, I lose all my contacts on the iPhone!
The only way to get some contacts back is restoring from backup, but unfortunately as iTunes performs a backup of the iPhone on sync, these backups also have no contacts! I have an old backup that fortunately has not been overwritten but the contact list is a bit out of date.
Address Book on the Mac seems to be fine and this is backed up.
It would appear that iTunes has somehow lost its "connection" to Address Book, which is why when I chose to replace the Contacts on the iPhone with the information on the computer I lost them all!
iCal still seems to sync fine with Calendar.
Can I re-link Address Book with iTunes?

Hey lim_my,
Are contacts syncing with MobileMe or any other applications?
I don't have MobileMe.
Now you mention it, Address Book did not appear to even update if I updated a contact in Mail.
Can you sync contacts in another User account? to create another user account goto System Preferences> Accounts> click the lock to make changes> click the + button to add another user account.
Yes I can! I only tried to sync Contacts, leaving all other options i.e Calendars Bookmarks Ringtones Music Videos Applications untouched, and now I have some test Contacts on the iPhone.
You can try Resetting the SyncServices folder, Just follow the steps in this article to stop the service and then delete the SyncServices folder in your user library.

I had tried this before, within iSync, which did not work. I then tried the command in Terminal as per the above link, then went and deleted the /user/Library/ Sync Services folder. Still no joy.
So it looks as though I have a broken Address Book rather than iTunes. Should I post this in the OS X Leopard section of Discussions?
