Can't Sync "All Contacts" with iPod Touch 2nd Generation

I have an older 2nd Gen iPod Touch (iOS 4.2.1) and a 2011 MacAir running Mountain Lion (MacOS 10.8) and the latest version of iTunes (10.6.3). The Contacts application on the MacAir is syncing the "All on my Mac" group (84 contacts) with my iPod, rather than syncing with "All Contacts" (100 contacts). Is there a way to change this? I never setup the "All on my Mac" group so I don't know how that group got defined. I assumed it appeared as part of the Mountain Lion (or Lion) upgrades, but I'm not sure. I realize that iTunes provides the option of syncing with "All" or "Selected Groups" I have selected "All" but am still only getting the contacts from the "All on my Mac" group rather than "All Contacts."
P.S. Since the 2nd Gen iPod Touch cannot run iOS5 I can only sync through USB cable...no iCloud.
Help!

For anyone who might read my post and have the same problem, the above link, second option to try work like a charm. I have my music back. I had to go looking for it and clicking on one of the pieces to play it in iTunes worked. Not all the music was located right away but it was still findable.

Syncing Google Contacts with iPod Touch iOS 1.1.5

I have one of the first iPod touch models ever released. It does not even support the App store, the only apps it has is the default iPod apps put on there by Apple. I was always able to sync my Google contacts with the contacts on my iPod whenever I synced with iTunes on my Windows PC, under the info tab there was an option for Syncing contacts with Google, Outlook, and Windows Contacts but after the last iTunes update I no longer see this option available on iTunes. I have researched this alot and tried all of the other "work arounds" for this like the one explained in this discussion thread:
After upgrading itunes 11.1, sync with google contacts option disappear.
and
how do i get ipod touch to sync contacts w/gmail
and
Contacts syncing with Gmail
but since my iPod is has iOS 1.1.5 and will never be able to upgrade any higher when I add my Gmail account to my Mail app there is no option or "Contacts" button anywhere to be found, I am guessing this contact syncing feature wasn't added until later iOS versions.
So my question is now that iTunes no longer syncs contacts with Google, is there any work around you guys know of that will work with my primitive stone age iOS 1.1.5 iPod touch?
Thanks alot!

First I would update to iOS 3.1.3., the late update for your model iPod
Purchasing iOS 3.1 Software Update for iPod touch (1st generation)
https://buy.itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZFinance.woa/wa/touchLegacyLandingPage
Then try again.
To more easily find compatible apps for your iPod
iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
Vintapps 3.1.3 - paid app.
Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version.

Apple TV not working with Ipod Touch 2nd generation? No sound.

Has worked perfectly the past month and I can still stream youtube via the ipod touch with sound.
However I can no longer play music from ipod touch to Apple tv. Issue started about 10 days ago.
Could this be due to some updates?
Similar issue when trying to play from Spotify, used to work perfectly.
Thanks!

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Have you tried restarting the iPod or the Apple TV yet.

Can not sync Planes movie with iPod Touch

I have recently purchased the Planes movie so my son can have it on his iPod Touch. It has downloaded to my iTunes account but will not sync with his iPod. I get the error message ( "Planes" was not copied to the iPod ... because it cannot be played on this iPod ) He has 5.83 GB free. I have tried different USB ports and hubs. We have been able to install multiple other movies and play them just fine.

Likely the version you download is too high resolution for the iPod.
Try going to the Purchased section in the iTunes store and see there a a version with less resolution available for download. Look for SD version.

Can't sync music library with iPod Touch

I gave my iPod to my son. He erased my music library and put his on. He gave iPod back. I erased all his music and tried to reload my music library. I updated iTunes from Apple website. Could not successfully transfer ANY music.
I searched through discussions and found some suggestions. I restored iPod to original settings, removed everything.
Apps I originally had on the iPod and some new ones synced beautifully. Music library would not. Unclicked manually managed iTunes. Unclicked Sync all iTunes in library. Clicked APPLY where applicable. Uninstalled iTunes on PC and reinstalled. iTunes will not sync.
I cannot put a checkmark on all songs in the library. The checkmarks will only go so far down and then quit. There are too many to do that manually.
it has 59.42 GB capacity, 4.3.1 software version.
So what do I do to syn my music library? And what are the exclamation marks appearing to the left of the column for check marks? Sometimes they appear and sometimes not.
I would appreciate any help you can give me. I am at my wit's end. Thank you.

I can't connect JBL Flip with ipod touch 4th generation

I connected the JBL Flip with my MacBook Pro and it worked fine, music was coming out of the JBL. When I try to connect from my ipod, it does not. I turned bluetooth ON on my ipod, then "Searching..." is displayed and the speaker never shows up. Any tips on this? The user manual from JBL is useless.

hi,
i just opened the flip and paired with one ipad and subsequently wanted to pair with my ipad. my ipad kept searching and searching and could not find the jbl flip even though it was right next to it. i had the same problem as the original post. I think the following is what ultmately solved the problem. first i turned off the blue tooth on the first ipad (not sure if this mattered) so the flip wouldn't be connected to it. i could not find a reset nor how to take the batteries out simply on the flip. . I DID though hold the power button for quite a while on the flip. I did this long enough for the red light (vs the blue light of the flip) to flash. once flashing red i turned back on blue tooth on my ipad and it discovered the flip. i touched the ipad screen to select the flip and then discovered the flip.
I hope this helps

My iPod touch 2nd generation does not sync my contacts. I only have iCloud contacts in my address book. How can i sync that?

My iPod touch 2nd generation does not sync my contacts. I only have iCloud contacts in my address book. How can i sync that?

I do not fully understand you question. To use iCloud on an iOS device requires iOS 5 and the 2G only goes to iOS 4.1.2 and thysyu can't access iCloud, including contacts.
Maybe you could sync the iCloud contacts with anopther program and sync that program with the 2G iPod.
The following smple states the following for Contacts:
iCloud: What if my device or computer doesn't meet iCloud system requirements?
Contacts
If you want to check your iCloud Contacts, you can do so by visiting icloud.com from a Mac or PC (as long as it meets the browser system requirements for icloud.com).

Problems syncing iPod Touch (2nd generation) with iMac under Mountain Lion

When syncing my iPod Touch (2nd generation) with my iMac (under Mountain Lion) the entries in my diaries/agendas do not sync. Apps and music sync without a problem. What must I do?

I have this problem.. and after spending time at the Genius Bar yesterday, I discovered that my old ipod touch is obsolete..( the Ipod touch is a 32.bit system, while the newer operating system is 64... so they're simply not compatible.)
I expressed great dismay that my perfectly good ipod touch was now obsolete... then the genius suggested I export my contacts and calendars to Google..
That was easy to do, and then, on the Google community forum i learned about nuevasync.com, which lets you synch all of this back to your ipod touch via Exchange.
WOrked like a charm.
Nuevasync. com is free for an initial trial (10 days?) and then costs only 15$ per YEAR.. so I'll use this as a good work-around

HT1386 I have just acquired an iPod touch 2nd generation 8gb. It says it syncs successfully with my computer (vista home) but will not down load albums I have bought in itunes and downloaded to my computer. Help!!!

I have just aquired an iPod Touch 2nd Generation 8GB. When it is connected to my PC, running Vista home, it says it has synced successfully but I can,t transfer onto it an album I have bought and downloaded from iTunes. Help!!! This is my first Apple product so I have no experience and no manual.

Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer? If so you can only use the manual method and that only works with music and videos.

Can I update my iPod touch 2nd generation with iOS 4.2.1 to restore the iOS to a new and improved iOS? Can I go from iOS 4.2.1 too iOS 5.0.

All you can do is get a newer model iPod. The 2G can only go as high as 4.2.1. Its hardare does not support a higher iOS version

I have updated my Apple ID and password, but am now getting a message that iCloud can't sync. On my iPod Touch, it still is showing up as my old Apple ID/email address.

Thanks! I found an earlier post making reference to deleting the account and then signing back in with the new info -- basically the same idea. Thanks for your help!

Since Belle update: Can't sync phone contacts with...

This question was asked in the N series boards by someone else but with no reply's, thanks paramasivan for first raising this. I have an E6 so I'll post the same query here for better luck.
Since the update to Belle the "social network" option from the contacts has been removed.
This means I can't sync my contacts with my friends/contacts from Facebook. I've logged in and used Nokia Social but there's no option anymore to sync this.
So how do we sync these again ?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

From another thread on the same topic someone posted these links that worked fine, the second link in particular worked for me.
Thanks to kamalnm who posted these originally
