How do I set up 2-way sync betwn iTunes/iCal/iPod touch?
Hi, I am new to this technology. I have seen many instructions on how to sync the iPod one way from iTunes, and I have read the iPod 4g user manual, but how do I make sure that changes to my calendar or other updates to the iPod then get uploaded to the computer's record/library, etc. Or am I thinking about the problem in the wrong way? Any help appreciated. (I really don't know what I'd do w/o this forum!!)
What I also do is to setup my Gmail as an Exchange account. With iiTunes and iCal set up correctly, you can synce the Google calender via wifi among Google, iCal and on the iPod. You need to set up the iPOd Calender so the Google is the default calender. To set up up a Google exchange account:

You can't because it is not a phone. You can use it in your iPhone though.

Some videos fail to sync from iTunes to iPod Touch
There are 38 movies (or videos) in my iTunes and total is 3.45GB but when I sync this with my iPod Touch only 22 of these are sync into my iPod. iPod capacity should not be an issue: i still got 4.18GB free space and the entire movie/video library is only 3.45GB (after 22 of the 38 videos have been stored).
When I go to "DEVICES" under iTunes and go to my iPod and then check out the "Movies" tab, I can see the FULL list of the 38 movies but some of them are in black text and others in grey text. Those in grey text are not sync onto my iPod Touch. What should I do? Please don't tell me to reset the iPod Touch!The videos that show in grey text are not in the proper format to play on your iPod. Select the video in your music or movie library and use the iTunes "Advanced" menu to "Create an iPod or iPhone version".
Then try your sync again.
The iPod Touch will only accept video formatted as described here: http://www.apple.com/ipodtouch/specs.html -
How to correctly sync from Itunes after Ipod touch
Hi,
I just got a new Iphone 3G, after having used an Ipod touch. I synced the Iphone from Itunes, and all my existing apps and settings have synced OK, but all the apps are empty and none of my photos, videos etc. have synced - even though I went through every tab on the device in Itunes and pressed Sync. What do I need to do to get my Iphone just like my Touch?
Thanks,
RichardDisable auto sync when an ipod/iphone is connected under preferences in itunes. Make sure you have at least one contact in the contacts list on your phone. Connect your touch, do not sync, rather right click the touch in the device pane and select "backup". Once complete, un-mount your touch, connect your phone, DO NOT SYNC, right click the phone in the device pane & select "reset warnings". Once done, right click again and select "restore from backup". Select the backup you just made. Once the restore is complete, this must be followed by a sync to put your itunes content back on your phone. You should get a popup regarding your contacts, to merge or replace, select merge. All you should have to add to your phone are wifi & email passwords, as these are not copied over for security reasons. Your phone should now look exactly like your touch.

My daughter has an ipod touch and would like to be able to text message her friend who also has an ipod. I am told I need to put imessage on my daughters ipod, but i can't work out how this is done. Can anyone explain how this is done?
You can upgrade, first you will need to update to Mac OS X 10.6.8 ($19.99) at the Apple Store, then update to Mac OS X 10.8.3 via the app store for $19.99 http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard

I am trying to create one itunes library for my ipod touch. My previous laptop broke on me. I was able to create a back disck before buying a new laptop. The problem is once I downloaded itunes onto the new pc it created two libraries esentially in one. I have to drag item from the original library into the new one. Is there anyway to merge the two libraries into one so it will just synce once my ipod is connected?
Welcome to the discussions,
did you try http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1473:
Adding content on your computer to iTunes
iTunes helps you add digital audio and video files on your computer directly to your iTunes library. You can add audio files that are in AAC, MP3, WAV, AIFF, Apple Lossless, or Audible.com (.aa) format. If you have unprotected WMA content, iTunes for Windows can convert these files to one of these formats. You can also add video content in QuickTime or MPEG-4 format to iTunes. To learn how to add these files to iTunes follow the steps below.
Open iTunes
From the File menu, choose one of the following choices:
Mac
Add to Library
Windows
Add File to Library
Add Folder to Library
Navigate to and select the file or folder that you want to add
If iTunes is set to "Copy files to the iTunes Music folder when adding to library," iTunes will copy all content that is added to the iTunes library to the iTunes Music folder. To adjust this setting or change the location of this folder, go to the Advanced tab in iTunes Preferences.
If you did the backup using iTunes, did you follow this article to restore the library? http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1382 -

Syncing new itunes with ipod touch already loaded
i upgraded to windows 7 after vista packed it in. i backed up all my data but not my itunes library as i thought syncing would take care of it as it is all on my ipod touch. i downloaded itunes but have been told that if i connect my ipod touch to syn with this newly downloaded version of itunes i will erase everything on my touch. what do i do?
PamelaHi There-
That is what I do. iTunes is the only program up and running. I let it update and bring in new podcasts if applicable. After it is all done, then I plug in the touch and the first thing it does is a backup, and that is what takes forever !!! (LOL). I walk away and about an hour later, it is still backing up. Once it goes to the actual sync part, it is fine, but the backup is the worst. If anybody has any tips, I would welcome them.
Thanks Much- Doug -
I downloaded ibooks via ipad2 then synced to itunes, now ipod touch wont add the ibooks app
Hi,
I just bought an Ipad2. Today I downloaded the iBooks app directly to the Ipad. When I connected to my PC to sync, the iBooks transfered to itunes as planned. When I plugged in my Ipod touch 4th gen to sync, it told me that in order to get the ibooks app, i need to go to the app tab. When in the app tab I see the icons, and I am unable to adjust or click which apps to add. It is a shaded out version, where you can see but not edit. So I decided to go to itunes store to download the app, and it says downloaded, so I can download again.
Please helpDownload directly from iPod touch. On iTouch, go to App Store, 'Update' Tab', select 'Purchased', then 'Not on this iPod Touch', scroll down to look for iBook and install.

How do i set up my old iPhone 3 as a iPod touch
i want to use my iphone 3 as a ipod touch can i do this
Yes, do as Ocean20 suggests of putting it into airplane mode but then switch Wi-Fi back on. You will have all the functionality of an iPodtouch with network access over WiFi.

Some music not syncing from iTunes to iPod Touch
I downloaded music from two different artists recently. I created playlists for both. I changed the number ordering on the playlists a bit. And now I no longer have those artist's music on my iPod. I have tried:
* Restoring original settings
* Double checked the file types on the music
* Manually added the music back on to the iPod, then synced
* Adding ALL of the music library onto my iPod (hoping those artists will be added too)
Nothing has worked. Any suggestions??Just a stab:
The song titles need to have a check mark next to them in order to sync.
Thanks ... Ken -
How do I do a one way sync from contacts in computer (Outlook), to contacts on I pad (also for I-phone)? Contacts on I-Pad are incorrect and I do not want to add them back to my computer?
Alternatively, is there any way to delete contact groups all at once instead of one contact at a time?
Thank you in advance...

Business email account: how do I set up iPhone4 to sync live?
I have a long-time Business email account: [email protected]
How do I set up iPhone4 to sync with this fully, live? I want mail I send from the iPhone to appear also in my Mac (Apple Mail).
Someone said something about doing this with Google and IMAP? But I only see info there about [email protected] accounts.

Ahh, Thanks but... there are about 8-10 products on that page. I followed that link earlier but it was not clear how to set up IMAP to keep my current ID & account as "the" contact points and IDs, and not gMail or accounts there.
All my previous email accts were set up by others; baby steps please.
