Contacts don't sync on iPod Touch (not using mobileme)

They used to sync, now they don't. Since 10.5.5? So the contacts are on the ipod, but changes are not synced. I do not have mobileme. Just syncing via usb.

Just to update... The issue was one corrupt addressbook card. After exporting all contacts, I imported half, then half again, etc. until the sync stopped working. I found one troublesome card, which I retyped. Now all is well.

    After I updated to iTunes 9.0.3.15 I tried to sync my iPod Touch. All went well until this error message popped up; "Some of the items in the iTunes Library, including "headstrong", were not copied to the iPod "Sam's iPod" because you are not authorized to play them on this computer." ok so I go and authorize it type in my PW and Apple ID correctly and get this error message!; "We could not complete your iTunes Store request. The file or directory is corrupt and unreadable. There was an error in the iTunes Store. Please Try Again later."
    I run diagnostics and this is what I got and pass all the tests except for the CD in the drive, could anyone please help? It won't allow me to sync any apps to my iTouch and half of my purchased music.

    Are you on a Mac? I found this [Type -36 error (I/O Errors (bummers)|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2433]
    This file is having difficulty while either reading from the drive or writing to the drive. The file
    may have been improperly written data to the drive or the hard drive or disk may be damaged.
    This is almost always indicative of a media error (hard error on the disk). Sometimes (rarely) it is transient.
    Solutions: Try copying the file to another drive. Use a disk recovery software, such as Disk First Aid to examine the disk. You can try rebooting with all extensions off. Once in a while this will allow you to read the data. The file in question should be restored from a backup that was stored on a different disk. Regular backups can reduce the time to recover from this error.
    Hope that helps.

  • Need help sync'ing iPod Touch (not authorized error)

    I have an iPod Touch (about year old not sure if 4th or 5th Gen), iOS 8.1.2.  I used to be able to sync everything fine with Windows ITunes on my old desktop, but when I got a new desktop I can't sync (more precisely I can't "Apply" updates to apps).  When I go to the device's Apps tab on the left of ITunes interface, I click the "UPDATE" button on an app (Temple Run 2), it changes to "Will Update", then I click "Apply".  During the sync it says
    "The iPod "name" could not be synced because this computer is no longer authorized for purchased items that are not on this iPod.  To authorize this computer fro items purchased from the ITunes Store, choose Store>Authorize This Computer."
    I know this question has been asked by others, and I've tried many things including deauthorizing and reauthorizing, going into hidden files and deleting the SC Data folder, signing in with another of my ITunes accounts, using the "Manage Deivces" section of My Account, etc.  None of it works. (Note: In Manage Devices, I see the iPod in question, but I renamed recently and it still shows as the old name in "ITunes Manage Devices" - I am afraid to delete it and add it back under the new name because I don't know what good or bad would happen if I do)
    So, is there another idea out there?  I would do a hard reset on the iPod, but I am afraid I;ll lose all the data for each app, especially game progress.
    Any ideas to troubleshoot this?
    Thank you,
    Mike

    Yes, thanks, that's one of the first things I went through.  Did all the Windows-related steps there and still have the same problem.

  • All-day events sometimes don't sync from iPod to Mac using Exchange Server

    I have an iPod touch (1st or 2nd generation, not sure) which syncs with my MacBook via ActiveExchange and the company's exchange server.
    I have been noticing that sometimes when I create all-day events on the iPod they don't show up in my Entourage-calendar. Even if I change their dates on the iPod or change them from all-day to a specific time. Nothing.
    I already switched off time zone support or what's it called although all time zones are on the same city.
    Any thoughts are highly appreciated. (And no, to be honest I don't think that it's a exchange-server-problem.)

  • I lost a lot of tracks while syncing my ipod touch with iTunes. I have managed to get some of them back with a free download, but iTunes will not let me dowload whole albums which I have paid for. It does recognise that they have been purchased. What do n

    As I've already said to get this far: I have lost a lot of tracks while syncing my iPod Touch with iTunes. I have managed to get free downloads of some of the single tracks, but when I try to download entire albums the system informs me that I have already purchased them and a pop-up window informs me I can get them back from my "Purchased" file. I would not be trying to dowload them again if they were anywhere on the iPod, would I? The other problem seems to be that with single tracks I don't know before I hit the purchase button if I have picked it from the right album and I have had to pay for it again.
    I feel that I have been totally ripped off by iTunes and, apart from ranting on this forum, I don't seem to be able to let my feelings known. It's like a guy from my local record store coming round and nicking my albums and telling me that it's tough!
    The point here is folks, that it was syncing two Apple sites which caused the loss of these tracks and from what I've read elsewhere this is a regular fault. And please don't tell me that it's my fault for having a pc. Apple shouldn't sell a product for pc, when it doesn't work on pc!

    - Are you saying that they are not listed in your Purchased section?
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    - Are they listed in your Puchases history when you log into your account on your computer?
    - Are they still available now for purchase? If not then you are out of luck
    If they are still available and listed in your Puchase History then contact iTunes

    B-rock, thanks for posting the above.  I actually have the same issue, running Windows XP and I don't have that backup location, \Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\.  When I go to Documents and Settings\(username)\ there's a AppData folder followed by:\LocalLow\DataMngr\ .
    I have the latest update, 5.0.1 and I have the iPod Touch 3rd gen.
    I have tried removing itunes and all that is associated with it then reinstalling and keep getting the same message.  I've reset my ipod thinking that would help but still, no backup.
    In iTunes, Edit, Preference, Device there are no backups.
    What am I doing wrong, can you help? 
    Thank you!

    I am trying to sync an ipod touch 4TH gen.  The capacity bar at the bottom shows I am adding 22.29g with 6.5 g free.  Yet every time I try to sync it warns that there is not enough room an additional 868.9m is still needed.  Does the capacity bar tend to be wrong or am I missing something?

    I do not understand how to sync my iPod touch to my ipad

    That is because you cannot sync the iPod Touch to the iPad. It's not possible to connect the two devices in any way at all for any reason whatsoever.
    if you want to download the same music that is on the iPod to the iPad, you can do that in iTunes in the purchased tab. If you want to have the same apps on the iPad, go to the purchased tab of the App Store and download the apps again. You can do the same with books in the iBooks app.
    If you want to sync, Notes, Contacts, calendars, you can so that in Settings>iCloud - as long as you set up an icloud email account and turn those features on in the settings.
    Perhaps, if you were to explain exactly what you want to do, we might be able to offer specific instructions.

  • Applications on two computers and not allowed to sync my ipod touch ?

    Hi all,
    I have latest versions of itunes and ipod software (just updated now). This is the first time I use my laptop (PC, windows XP)(I copied all my itunes library and applications on this laptop from my desktop PC) to sync my ipod touch. I got a few new podcasts and applications here. During the sync, no problems for the podcasts it seems, but for the applications unexpectedly it tried to remove some applications from my ipod (but these were on my library) and tried to install the new ones. But couldn't do most of these because it says this computer is not allowed (however I end up with a few applications removed from the ipod touch).... This is a pain since I downloaded and even bought some applications in this laptop. So do I have to transfer all my applications to my desktop computer?
    thanks for the help.

    I had the same problem. Just got my first I-Pod Touch today, and was downloading apps via I-Tunes when I found the problem. In I-Tunes, go to the STORE tab, and click on "Authorize Computer..." This will bring up the sign on screen for your password. After you log on, you will then be able to sync your apps. I don't understand why I-Tunes continually needs your password, but it does. Hope this works.

  • IPod Touch not syncing w/ iMac iCal

    First post! I sync my iPod Touch with my iMac thru the cable. Recently my iPod touch stopped syncing w/ my iMac. for example: the calendar events on the iMac are not transferred to the iPod. Also on the iPod when I create an event, it will only give me the choice of either Calendar [imap_.Mac]:Mail To Do or Calendar, not all my different calendars like before. I don’t know what happened to change this. I restored the iPod but nothing changed. Perhaps it was a software update?
    I went to the genius bar and was told that the next time I synced the iPod, under the “Info” page to go to “Advanced”, Replace information on the iPod and click the boxes that I needed to replace. This did nothing. I then put an event on the iPod and synced it with the computer, the event was not transferred to the computer.
    Is there a setting that needs to be changed?

    Greetings,
    Have you restored the iPod? http://www.apple.com/support/ipodtouch/assistant/ipodtouch/

  • When i sync my ipod touch (4gen), my music does not appear on my device? what is wrong?

    when I sync my ipod touch (4gen), my music does not appear on my device. What went wrong?

    Hello,
    The problem is that you just don't selected the music that you want to import.
    You can do this by opening iTunes, search your ipod in the superior bar, select it, then will appear a screen showing the information of your ipod, you can check how many songs are in your ipod, if there says nothing so theres the problem. In the superior bar, select Music, then click on the box "Sync Music", now select the songs you want right down. And press "Sync" That should solve the problem.
    Cheers
