I cannot sync my Mac's Address Book to my iPod Touch (2G), via iTunes. All else syncs, just not Contacts. Why?

I realize I can't do this with iCloud, but now I can't with a cord and iTunes. I even reset to factory settings and tried again. I even tried the advanced option to "replace information on this iPod with information from this computer", clicking Contacts. But nothing. I have no contacts in my iPod. What am I missing here?

I do not think the problem was solved - what was completed was a work around. 
I have the same problem - open itunes, plug in iphone, select info, synch contacts, select merge contacts (iphone contacts will move to address book and visa versa) Mac to Iphone success - Iphone to Mac - no go.
This is how it should work - and it is not???  Why?  How do you make the itunes synch work?
Synching with mobile me is a great work around - if you use mobile me.
Synching with icloud is great to backup but does not get contacts added on your iphone onto your mac.
How do you get contacts added to your iphone into address book on your map with synch?

  • Is there a way to export my Address Book to my iPod touch?

    Is there a way to export my Address Book to my iPod touch so that I can access it through my email account on the iPod?

    One of the main functions of the ipod touch is to sync your address book and calendar.

  • Sync my Mac address book to my iPod Touch after the Cloud

    I have a MacBook Pro version 10.5.8.  I cannot update it because of a project I'm working on that has old software that I cannot update while in the middle of it.
    I have been on MobileMe since its inception.
    I tried to sync my Contacts and Calendar on my Mac with my iPod Touch, ios 3.1.3, via iTunes.  Some of the changes came across and others didn't.  I always make changes/additions on my Mac.  Do I have to overwrite the iPod in order to reflect all the changes?

    I have the exact some thing happening to me.

  • How can I sync contacts in my address book to my iPod Touch 2nd Generation with iTunes 10.5.2?

    My iPod Touch with OS 4.2.1 will no longer sync contacts from my address book on my computer now that I've upgraded to iTunes 10.5.2 and to Lion.  I have ensured that the iPod Touch is set to synchronize all my contacts.   The calendar continues to sync.

    I have the same situation. I believe I disconnected iCloud by going into preferences and also unclicking the box for Contacts. What am I missing?

  • Can I overwrite contacts in Address book with my iPod Touch contacts?

    I'm an idiot - I somehow managed to delete ALL of my contacts in Address book. I don't use Time Machine (not enough external HD space) so I can't restore that way.
    I did happen to sync my iPod Touch shortly before I deleted everything so my contacts are fine there. Short of re-typing everything into Address Book, is there a way I can tell iTunes to overwrite my contacts with the ones from the iPod touch?
    It's the only place I have my contacts - and because I enabled Google sync, it deleted all of my Google contacts too! HELP!!

    If you sync, the contacts will be copied back into Address Book on your Mac. You should get an error message that pops from iSync (a warning about changing more than 5% of your data), which you should Allow.
    In case you're worried, I have tested this (backed up my address book, then deleted the contents, then synced and my contacts were restored from my IPT).
    Hope this helps...

  • Cannot get Address Book on my iPod 2nd gen

    If i try to remove icloud it just remove my original contact in my Mac, I am very upset at this because I cannot get my contact to sync with my address book on my iPod touch 2nd gen.
    I will stay away from iCloud if I can and go back to the way I was until bugs get worked out, or when I understand the inner working or purpose of that mess that i am in.
    I need to simply sync contacts from my Mac mini to my iPod manually if possible, I try every options in iTune.
    Thanks for reading any clue is very welcome, I just buy a Mac mini and I am extremely happy. Hope this iCloud nightmare will get resolved. 

    What happens when you connect the iPod to your computer and try to restore via iTunes? Error message?

  • Mac Mail & Address Book - Capacity & Storage

    Hi all - I have a question regarding the maximum capacities for MacMail & Address Book.
    MacMail
    Is there a maximum number of messages that can be housed in any given folder? I know it's a good idea to move messages from say, the Inbox, to a sub folder to keep the application running at peak. But what about Sent or Trash? Should messages in these mailboxes be cleared to sub folders on occasion? Also, before anyone says anything about deleting messages, this is not an option ; )
    As a rule, we've been moving messages from Trash to sub folders on an iMac running 10.4. Our Macbook pro however does not allow for messages to be moved into sub folders from Trash. Why would this be?
    At the moment on the iMac the number of messages in a sub folder called Storage (moved from Trash) is 25K. I wonder if this will max out eventually and wipe messages, as happened about 6 months ago in the Trash folder? Is there industrial strength email software that works great on a Mac?
    *Address Book*
    Similar to the MacMail question. Is there a maximum number of contacts that one can have using Address Book? Does anyone have a recommendation on an industrial strength solution for contact management that plays nicely with Mac?

    Gee it's very quiet around here..

    Is it because the new itunes looks different.

    Then it should work just the same as on your old computer.

  • Contacts and Mac OS Address Book won't sync anymore

    I have an iPod touch, 2nd generation, with iOS 4.2.1, which has worked perfectly well for years.
    Since I got an iPad 2 with iOS 5.0.1, and iTunes 10.5.1, and set up iCloud, and synced the iPad to my Mac, now my iPod touch will no longer sync any address book entries between iOS Contacts and Mac OS X 10.7.2 Lion's Address Book.
    I've tried restoring the iPod touch to its factory-fresh setting and syncing with the Mac. I've tried rebuilding the Mac OS Address Book index, and repairing permissions on Mac OS X. Nothing seems to help.
    Another clue is that the iPod touch Contacts stopped syncing at 512 Contact entries, while the Mac's Address Book had 521 entries. I think 512 is a suspicious number; is it an upper limit on entries that sync with iTunes and Address Book?
    Any help would be appreciated.

    The messaget is correct, that is, your iCloud calendar will no longer be on your Mac as long as you are signed out of iCloud.  Your calendars will still be on you iPhone and on iCloud.  After syncing your contacts to your iTouch, you then sign back into iCloud on your Mac and everything will be back as it was before you signed out.  I did it on my Mac and have all my calendars and contacts as well as my wife's iTouch has all calendars and contacts.
    You seem to be concerned about losing data, which is a valid concern.  Do you back up your Mac using Time Machine?  It is a great resource installed on the Mac to assure that if you commit any errors that resutls in the loss of data, then you can easlily restore it via Time Machine.  If you have not been backing up your Mac then consider doing it.  The Apple Store sales personnel recommended to me the LaCie Storage devices since they easily interconnect with the Mac.  A Google search will find them at competitive prices as compard to what Apple charges.  I am so paranoid about losing data that I have three separate 1TB LaCie drives backing up my Mac.  I will be installing a forth as a network backup drive for my wife's Mac and my MacBook Air.

  • Sync exchange contact to my mac mini address book?

    My iphone is currently connected to my exchange mail account, is there anyway that i can import or sync my iphone contacts to my new mac mini address book? I am new at this mac thing, very confusing....:)

    Interesting name by the way. Anti-AT&T.
    I'm new to the Mac as well but I know how.
    Open "contacts" or "calendar" or "mail" then click on the title on the upper left corner, then preferences.
    In one of the tab screens it has "sync with MobileMe" then "sync with Exchange".

  • New MAC OSX Address Book Groups Do Not Appear in iTunes for iPhone Sync?

    New Groups (and their associated new contacts) created in the MAC OSX Address Book since the initial installation of my iPhone do not appear in iTunes, and hence do not sync with iPhone. I have tried the Advanced - Replace information on this iPhone - Contacts to no avail.

    I had this problem for several weeks now!
    I followed your procedure and - addresses there, calender gone! Even worse!
    So I copied the old SyncServices Folder back into /Library/Application Support/
    result as expected, calender there, addresses gone.
    My lady called, I was on the phone for 10 minutes or so. Coming back to my iMac I see a Sync-Problem-Icon jumping in the dock. I've been told that one of my addresses has a conflict between adressbook and iPhone. OK. Solve it with adressbook, please.
    I open iTunes and everything is there, calender data and adresses!
    Finally!
    Thank you, Maurizio!

  • Cannot sync iphone 4 contacts to macbook address book

    HI,
    I'm using iphone 4 and I would like to sync all the contacts in my iphone to my macbook address book. The macbook address book is empty and is running on OS X Lion. iTunes is version 10. I tried syncing once and all my contact in my phone is wiped out as the contacts in the address book is empty. Lucky me there is a backup a few months back. How do i copy my iphone contacts to my macbook?

    If you put at least one contact, even a fake one, into your Mac's Address Book first, then when you sync you'll be given the prompt whether or not to merge the contacts.

  • Sync iCloud to Mac's Address Book

    I have contacts in iCloud that I don't see on my mac's address book, how can i get them?

    You should get Address Book/Contacts syncing when you sign into System Preferences>iCloud and enable Contacts in the checklist there. When you first do this, all your contacts in Address Book should be moved to the iCloud server and read from there by the application. Any contacts listed under 'On My Mac' won't sync to iCloud, but all contacts in iCloud should show as they aren't actually being synced but read off the server.
    If you are having trouble with this I would suggest signing out in System Preferences>iCloud and signing back in again - your data will disappear from your Mac when you sign out but will re-appear when you sign back in.

    Hi azuldelf,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    In addition to using iCloud, you can sync your iPhone to your Mac using iTunes.

  • .Mac and address book different

    My .Mac and address book have never been synced properly.
    I show 922 contacts in my address book,
    and 821 in my .Mac adresses.
    I thought it was because you have to have a phone number typed in
    the address for it to sync to .Mac, but I have contacts in
    my .Mac addresses which don't have phone numbers.
    Any idea why these are never the same?
    Using OS 10.3.3 and iSync 1.2.
    Thanks in advance,
    Paul

    Paul,
    Go to your .Mac address book and click on Preferences. Uncheck the "Turn on .Mac address book synchronization" then click Save.
    Then go back and turn it on again and it will resync. Your .Mac address book should now match your desktop Address Book.
    I had the same problem you are having at one time. I contacted apple customer support and this is what they recomended to me and it worked.
    Hope it works for you.
