Address Book on iMac is out of synch with Contacts on iPod Touch. How do I get them in synch (through iCloud/iTunes)?

I'm confused about the different versions of Address Book on iMac. I set up iTunes to synch Address Book with my iPod Touch 5th Gen. through iCloud. Somehow they got out of synch.
There are three sections or versions of Address Book on my iMac: (1) "All Contacts," (2) "On My Mac: All on My Mac" and (3) "iCloud: All iCloud."
"All Contacts" seems to combine the last two. Unfortunately, contacts that got added to "On My Mac" are NOT being synched to iCloud and to my iPod.
What can I do to get them in synch and how can I avoid this in the future?

On your iPod...
There are settings in the Contacts apps if you tap "groups". Check all.
And in settings, check in iCloud to see that all contacts are switched to on in all accounts.

There is grayed out pixels on my 2nd gen iPod Touch, how do I get rid of them?

There's these grayed out pixels on my 2nd gen iPod touch. I did not apply pressure, I woke up one night and it was like that. I don't know how to fix it. Can someone please tell me what the cause was, and how I would fix it?

I've written a script called DeDuper which can help remove unwanted duplicates. See this thread for background.

I cannot play some songs on itunes, I get a prompt for an old email address which not longer exists and I don't know the password. HOw can I get them authorized to my new email address and password?

I cannot play some songs on itunes, I get a prompt for an old email address which no longer exists and I don't remember the password. How can I get these tunes transferred to my new email address and password?

In one of the help pages for managing your Apple ID (http://support.apple.com/kb/HE40), it shows two separate sections, one for Apple ID and one for Primary Email address. When I go to manage my Apple ID, I see only a single section for both. Can the two be 'separated', especially when you face the situation of having to discontinue your email address for some reason?
I also noticed that when navigating to Apple ID Support Communities, it shows my nickname 'dishdy'. How and when did I insert this? In the current sequence for creating an Apple ID I don't see this. In my current profile I don't see this.
In any case, I have freed myself from my previous Apple ID (@artemis.it) on my iPhone.
Thanks for your help.

CS5 Color Settings Unsynchronised. How do I get them in synch?

My CS5 Photoshop window for Color Settings states: Unsynchronised. Your Creative Suite applications are not synchronised for consistent color.
Question: How do I get then synched?
Chrissto@

Don't bother, just dismiss that dialog. All "synchronizing" means is that the same preset is applied to each application's color settings. You can do that manually.
But there's no particular reason to have identical color settings in all applications. Requirements will likely be different and my color settings are deliberately unsynchronized (I wouldn't dream of using ProPhoto RGB in Illustrator or InDesign, just as I'd never have CMYK policies set to "preserve numbers" in Photoshop).

I have several groups on my Mac Address Book and would like to sync only one group to each IOS5 device (each device getting a different group). Is this possible?

I have several groups on my Mac Address Book and would like to sync only one group to each IOS5 device (each device getting a different group) via iCloud. Is this possible? If so, how is it done?
Thanks in advance,,,,,

Can we control syncing at all? I can't seem to make a Local/On My Mac group in Address Book.

My game center password was stolen. I figured this out because some of my games changed. I immediately changed the password but it seems my account is still on another person's device. how can i get them to log out?

It seems that someone had access to my apple ID and password. This person logged in to my game center and changed the content of many games. As soon as i discovered, I changed my password so they won't be able to access my account again. Unfortunately it did not work because the other person still had access to my game center account and it seems to me that they need to log out in order for them not to be able to login again with the new password. but how can i get them out? or at least how can i be the only user of my apple ID using game center on my i-pad?
Thank you for your time

i am also have the same thing how can i get they out from my game center ?

Duplicates in Address Book on iMac since iCloud

As soon as I enabled iCloud, on my iMac Address Book, I now have duplicates of every contact. This only happened on my iMac. My iPad and iPhone don't have duplicates in their Address Book. Why would this happen? In the "notes" field of my contacts, I noticed that with the duplicate contacts, there are more notes in one entry than others (for example: Jane Doe's "notes" field show three lines of text that I entered, but the duplicate of Jane Doe only shows two of the lines of text in the "notes" field, leading me to believe one contact is newer than the other, but which is which, and how do I delete all the OLDER versions, and not accidentally erase the more recent versions?)
My god, Apple, you really messed this up! Does everyone remember when "It Just Works"?
HELP!

Could you please help me clarify which sequence I should be using to retrieve my backup Address Book data from? I, too, lost my contacts during a sync and am trying to retrieve them.
Is the recovery sequence in Time Machine Backups this:
1. Date-> Mac HD->Library-> Application Support->Address Book
or is it this?
2. Date-> Mac HD->Users->my name->Library->Application Support->Address Book
After copying the backup Address Book folder to the Desktop and opening the Mac HD icon, do I go to the folder Library->Application Suppport or the folder Users->my name->Library->Application Support to trash the Address Book and reinstall the backup copy? I have been trying both w/o any luck recovering my contacts thus far.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Lost contacts in address book on iMac

Hi.
I have iMac w/OS X 10.7.5. When we upgraded to this version, it seems like I lost all of our contacts in the ADDRESS BOOK APPLICATION on our desktop. I do have an external hd that I use for time machine. I went back to January 2011 to restore the ADDRESS BOOK and I got this error message:
“Address Book” can’t be modified or deleted because it’s required by Mac OS X.
I need some help in restoring ALL the contacts I had. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!

I have audio books on my ipod, but when I hook it up to my computer they don't show up so I can't take them off or anything. Now I am out of space. How do I get them to show up on the itunes sync screens?

I have audio books that are on my ipod touch, but when I hook it up to my computer to make changes they don't show up. I can't add new music, because it keeps telling me I am out of room. When I go to the book tab at the top it doesn't show any so I can't take them off. How do I get them to show up?

iDevices are not and have never been backup devices.
Authorizing a computer does not cause media to magically appear.
Media is only where the user puts it.
Copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the old computer to the new computer.

Graham,
For the iPad, iMac you need to create verifyible e-mail addresses created with one of the providers such as Yahoo, Gmail,etc. For the iphone you should use it's phone number, but an e-mail could be used for it too. If you want to associate these e-mail addresses with a single ID, I'm including a link to give you info about how you can do that. Read it carefully, as it can be a bit confusing.

Sync between MacBookPro and iPhone 3G does not sync properly. Calendars duplicate events but worse is that only contacts from Address book from letter T onwards sync. Any contacts on iPhone which are not on Mac are lost during sync.

Solutions?

No, I never really found an easy solution. I believe it is an issue with some corruption in the iTunes database on the specific device. In my case, both my iPad and iPhone now show duplicate stream songs if viewed through iTunes on my Mac, but they show different songs. A couple years ago I had a similar issue on my iPhone, and Apple support suggested I back up the phone, completely reset it, and then restore it from the backup. It did work, so I imagine it would probably work for my current issues with the iPhone and iPad. But resetting and restoring an iPad or iPhone always makes me a little nervous that something will get lost. When I did reset/restore the iPhone, I do have to say, the restore process was 100% perfect and I did not lose any data at all even though Apple support said I might. If you try to go that route, I would suggest backing the device up both to a computer through iTunes, and to the iCloud so that you have a double backup.
None of this really resolves the issue with how the iTunes databases are becoming corrupted on the apple devices though, so it is very likely to happen again until they fix it. I have been unable to determine if there were any specific actions or conditions which caused the corruption to happen in the first place.
Might be worth another call to Apple support, or dropping in the local Apple store if you have one near by.

My mac book pro crashed and the logic board died. They said that i could get the hard drive out and it should have all my files on it. How do i get them off and put them on my new computer?

Do you mean a case for the external hard drive? See here. Hope this may be helpful to you.
