HT1296 When syncing to ipod and ipad i get duplicate contacts and calendar events

Probllems syncing contacts and calendare events. I get dups and triplicates

How are you syncing? Are you syncing through itunes, icloud or both? Most issues come from syncing the same data/content from more than one source.

When syncing my ipod, how do I get it to look at external drives for music stored them? It just tells me it can't find something and gives me no option to tell it where it is located.

Hi SouthMountainSound,
It sounds like the tracks may be missing from your iTunes library. When tracks in iTunes display a it means the file cannot be located; it may have been moved or deleted. If it cannot be located, this may cause the issue of not being copied to your iPod. For this issue, we will need to refer to the following article:
iTunes: Finding lost media and downloads
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1408
Alternatively, if your media was downloaded from the iTunes Store, you may be able to download it again free of charge:

Blue screen of death when syncing to iPod and iPhone.

I wish I could laugh. "Upgraded" to iTunes 8 and no longer can use my computer to sync to either my iPhone or my iPod. Thanks for the upgrade Apple. Now that I cannot update my portable music devices I have the extra time to stare at the new visualizer. Woooopie.
Apple is happy to point out how unfriendly Microsoft products are, but since I got this Vista box I have never seen the BSOD... Until tonight.
So, what to do? Wait for a "solution" to my upgrade, or try to remove 8 and reinstall 7? After reading about the changes to the iTunes library making a revert difficult, I am thinking I watch TV instead of listen to music. On the television... that is...

Replying to own thread because I wanted to share success. Turned power off on HP Laserjet. No reboot needed. Launched iTunes and performed sync with iPod and iPhone. Happy days. Even happier when Apple redoes driver so I can use iTunes without having to power off my printer.
An honest mistake... I would imagine it would be very difficult to find a beta tester that had that combo of hardware. Imagine... Vista and a HP Laserjet. Oh... I guess we are the beta testers...

Every time I sync my iPod or iPad I get an error message "unable to load provider data from Sync Services"

Every time I connect my my iPod or iPad to my laptop I get the error message "iTunes was unable to load provider data from Sync Services. Reconnect or try again later" There is no problem with my internet connection and syncing then seems to occur OK. I upgraded to iOS 5 recently but have been getting the problem for several months. Due to recent problems with iCloud I am now concerned that this may be something significant that could lead to my losing data.
Anyone got any ideas?

Doublechecking. You've tried the following document?
iTunes for Windows: "Unable to load data class" or "Unable to load provider data" sync services alert

Duplicate contacts, music, calendar events. I have 4 computers, 2 ipads,

since mobileme transitioned to icloud I have duplicates of everything, contacts, events, music, etc.. I just joined itunes match and I now have 2,3,4,5 duplicates of many of my songs. I'm very disappointed! How do I get support to correct this problem? I have 4 computers, 2 ipads, and 1 iphone 4. WOWOW! so disappointed!

I thought I might post here and update my solution thus far..
1. Restored my iPhone 4 and iPad 2, and did not select iCloud.
2. iCloud working fine on the macbook pro, so I exported my contacts from iCloud to the vCards.
3. Turned icloud contacts off on my macbook pro (iCloud calendars remained on)
4. Synced iPhone 4 and iPad 2 with my macbook pro
5. now my iOS 5 devices sync my contacts and calendar locally with my macbook pro
6. Turned on iCloud only for my email, notes and documents.
Word to the wise: Stay clear of iCloud, WAY too many issues, especially for MobileMe migration customers.

I'm getting error -69 when syncing my ipod and all my songs aren't syncing onto my ipod?

I recently experienced errors 1602 and followed these (http://www.personalcomputerfixes.com/general-errors/how-to-fix-itunes-error-1601 -or-1602-when-restoring-an-iphone-ipod/) steps to fix it. After restoring my ipod, I tried syncing and only the songs I purchased on my ipod synced(except for 1 song for some reason). Syncing is when error -69 tells me I cannot sync my other songs onto my ipod. Any help with fixing this problem is appreciated.

ICloud not syncing Contacts or Calendar events on iOS 5 devices after MobileMe migration

On either of my devices (iPhone 4 and iPad 2) I cannot get my contacts or calendar events to appear correctly, both devices crash the contacts or calendars apps when I access them.
I first upgraded to ios5 and iTunes 10.5 (Which bricked my iPhone 5 times in a row with error 3012)
I then migrated from MobileMe to iCloud and all of my Contacts/Calendars are appearing correctly online at iCloud.com. However my iPhone 4 and iPad 2 will simply refuse to sync with the contacts and calendars...
My iPhone and iPad literally freeze when I try disable the iCloud services, I have restored both devices numberous times and started the iCloud service in MANY different steps. I have even used both my mac and PC to restore my devices.
I have been trying to fix this for two days now, I am extremely disapointed with iCloud, and I sorely wished I had of stayed with my MobileMe service. I initally thought this would be server contact issues, but there HAS to be something wrong with my devices, or sync services.
Surely other users have encounted this error, I would love to know the strategies used to resolve this.

Have you selected manually manage music?

What do you do when you can't sync your ipod and it tells you that itunes is not compatible with your ipod?

Upgrade to the newest version of iTunes first to see if that helps.

My iPad will not allow both my pic & music folders to load. When syncing one loads and the other is deleted and vice versa. All softwaew is updated and I would have about a 2Gig reserve on my 14Gig machine with both folders transfered. How do I fix this?

I have updated all software on my iPad and iTunes in my PC. Now when syncing my pics and music folders one or the other folder is always dropped. I should have an unused capacity of 2Gig after transfer on my 14Gig capacity machine. How do I get the ipad to retain both folders like it did before the software updates?

Try the following:
Open iTunes on your computer, go to Edit>Preferences>Devices, click on your most recent iPad backup in the Backups list and click Delete Backup.
Further down on the Devices screen, click Reset Sync History.
Connect your iPad and try syncing again.

Itunes 10.6.1.7 keeps crashing when syncing with the new Ipad

Glad to find this forum!
It's been a disappointing and frustrating week for me as I have tried to sync my new ipad with itunes 10.6.1.7. Itunes keeps crashing without reasons when syncing either apps, music or videos. Btw, I am using Windows XP SP3.
So far, I have not been able to play any videos because Itunes always crashes.
I have tried to re-install Itunes for more than 5 times [with fresh install] but the problem still occurs. I have also tried to downgrade to Itunes 10.5.3 as suggested in the other threads but Itunes still crashes. This only happens when syncing with the new Ipad.
I have an Ipod Nano which works great on both version of Itunes.
I am really disappointed because I can't watch movies and/or listen to music on my new ipad because it keeps crashing.
My wish is just simple. I just want to be able to watch movies and listen to my music on my new ipad. Sadly, this is not possible yet.
Can anyone help?

Does iTunes sync metadata when syncing photos to an iPad/iPhone? I am using Aperture v3 as my photo library.

Does iTunes sync metadata when syncing photos to an iPad/iPhone? I am using Aperture v3 as my photo library.

This might sound weird, but here's an idea which worked for me re music that was newly added to itunes and showed up in my ipod but wouldn't play - I simply played the tracks in itunes first, just a second of time or so will do it, not the whole track, then connect the ipod and sync again and this time they played - hope this helps.

HT201269 Now that I installed Match and icloud I tried to sync my ipod and the previous songs that were on my lap top in itunes that i copied from CD's will not transfer over to my ipod.

That is correct. This
iTunes Match on iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
says:
When you enable iTunes Match on your iOS device, the music library on your iOS device will be deleted and replaced with your music in iCloud.
Syncing music with iTunes will be disabled while iTunes Match is enabled on your iOS device.

Since I downloaded iTunes 11, I get a message when syncing my iPod that some of my songs were not copied because they are not authorized on this computer, I go to Store Authorize This Computer, a message pops up telling me that this computer is already.

So I am unclear, did you purchase these songs or import them from a cd?
If you imported them and still have the CD try importing them again and see if they work the delete the others.
Or if you purchased from itunes re-dowwnload and see if they work. Maybe they are corrupted files and this should resove it.
