ICal and iPod calendar not syncing times

My iCal on my iPod and my iCal on my Mac sync dates but not the correct times. For instance, I type in a time for an appointment at 6pm on my iPod and sync to my Mac. The appointment will show up at the correct date but with a different time. All calendars are selected so that should not be the case. Does anyone have any ideas?

Greetings,
Perhaps the time zone is wrong on one of the devices.
On the Mac:
Go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > Language & Text > Formats > Region. Region should be set to the country of your choice. Do not have it set to "Custom" as this can have unexpected results in the iCal window.
Go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > Date & Time > Time Zone and ensure the time zone is set to your current location.
Go to iCal > Preferences > Advanced and ensure that time zone support is not checked
On the iOS device:
Tap settings > General > Date & Time > Time Zone -- choose the correct time zone
--- Alternatively you may have "Set Automatically" which should automatically set your time zone
Tap settings > Mail, COntacts, Calendars > Calendars > Time Zone Support and set to off
My 2 cents on that one.

I've had a fault with the hard drive on my laptop, it's been replaced and now my iphone and ipod can not sync unpurchased items with itunes. Is there anyway of sorting this without uploading all of my CD's again?

If your CDs are on your iPod/iPhone, they can be recovered from there,see this post:

Your problem shows the importance of making backups.

I forgot my password and ipod will not sync with new computer

You'll need to connect the iPod Touch to your iTunes library in recovery mode and restore it factory settings. There is no other way.
Here are instructions for getting your iPod touch into recovery mode.

Ipod 5th and ipod 4th not syncing

hi downloaded new itunes, middle daughter's ipod 5th sync first time then never again, first daughter ipod 4th want sync. both ipod when go to sync come up with music, photos others sizes, serial num etc but want sync. run digan test connectivity test ok both ipods but sync test fail no ipod found.any ideas ta,

For your first question, see this Apple support document.
Identifying iPod models
As for your second question, we need to figure out how your music is configured to sync to your device. So you'll want to double check to see what options you have enabled from under your iPod's Summary and Music configuration tabs in iTunes. To access these tabs, plug your iPod in and click on it from under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes to bring yourself to the Summary tab. Make note of what options are enabled here and then locate the Music tab along the top and select it. Also make note of what you have configured here and report back what you have found out.
For example, if you find that your iPod is set up to Sync only checked songs and videos (this option is found under the Summary tab) then make sure all of these new tracks have tick marks next to them in your main iTunes library.

ITunes and ipod do not sync after loading itunes 10.3.1

The system gets stuck on "verifying your ipod". The Windows 7/64 bit is now recognizing my ipod as a USB mass storage device. Is there anyway to make sure this doesn't happen again. Each time there is an upgrade my iTunes does not sync with my ipod, it crashes with not being able to update my library with not enough memory and my windows operating system recognizes my ipod as a USB mass storage device.
This has happen for every upgrade and its not fair!!!
Each time i've had to uninstall the the upgrade, rename my itunes library then reinstall and it begins to work again. This time it did not work. Does someone have another solution?
I cannot restore my ipod because iTunes freezes and then shuts down.

Basics from the manual are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new.
Try restart.
If that fails to solve the issue, try reset, and so on.

ICal and Windows Calendar to sync

I have Windows Calendar on Vista, and iCal on Leapord (10.5.3), and would like to sync all itmes in both, across Work and Home calendars. They are both on my home network, and would ideally like this sync to take place as soon as an item is added (i.e check if other computer is networked, if so, go ahead, and alert me if there is another appointment at the same time on another calendar which hasn't had tiem to sync).
Is there a built in feature, or am I looking to do the impossible.

Now that I moved my itunes to a new computer why will my iphone and ipod touch not sync?

I just switched my itunes to my new laptop from my desktop (which no longer works). Everything seemed to be ok after I updated to the newest version of itunes. Now I cannot get my iphone (3G) and my ipod touch to sync at all. In fact when I plugged in my ipod touch it erased everything I had on there. I know these are older devices but I had no problems with syncing previously so why now? Even the backups will not work.

You can only sync to one computer/iTunes library. If you switch iTunes will erase the iPod and replaces the media with what is in the iTunes library of the new computer.
You should have done this:
Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive: Apple Support Communities
You said "Even the backups will not work.". What happens when you try to restore from backup?

Since upgrading to itunes 11.1.4.62 my iPad and Ipod will not sync

Since upgrading to iTunes 11.1.4.62 my iPad and iPod are no longer recognized by iTunes when plugged into my Windows 8.1 PC? I have re-downloaded itunes and re-intalled/repaired the program but still will recognize the two. This has never been an issue before have always sync the two and the only change has been the most recent upgrade of itunes?

I had to set up an admin user account on my pc after trying to restore my phone after ios 7 nearly broke my pc. I used the admin account to delete all apple stuff as instructed and installed 11.1.4. Hate the new look and all that was left was some old stuff i had bought on itunes.Anything less than about 2 years old and my extensive vinyl library i had uploaded all gone. i back up every week. i found some music in the recycle bin and it took hours to restore that but i was still missing loads. I plugged in my 3rd gen touch. All my sync settings were gone and it would not let me change them, it was all unticked so sync wiped my touch. i tried again but still wouldn't let me select anything and said duplicate names were specified, my options were to erase the touch, overwrite the library on the pc or cancel. So a disaster. Then I logged in under my usual user id where i had failed to download the new itunes and my old library still existed - shame i cannot back up or sync anymore here either. The only thing i could do was restore my wiped touch as i still had a back up left here. whenever i plug in i get the duplicate names specified message erase or cancel and i can't change the settings which are all unticked here too. I think itunes can see my admin account library and my usual account library and can see they are not the same and this is the duplicate names problem
i would like to know how i can get my music out of itunes safely on to my computer so i can play it on something other than itunes.
Unfortunately my iphone is on orange so i am cursed with that too and their latest service issues have destroyed my battery. I can't get a new phone though becuase i won't be able to restore to get my stuff on to new phone becuase of this duplicate names error.
Apple have really messed things up for me - please can you tell me how to get my music out in a format that will play on other players and i suppose i will just have to write off the £50 credit i have in tunes but i cannot carry on with these disasters and apples indifference

Probably because you did not tell the iPod to sync the calendar in iTunes.

MacBook & iPod Touch not syncing iCal & Address Book data

I have been unable to sync iCal & Contact data between my MacBook and iPod Touch for some time. The iPod shows up in my iTunes but when highlighted with the Info tab clicked neither my contacts nor calendars appear in the appropriate boxes so that they may be synced. I receive a message stating that it is unable to sync this data because syncing is not enabled. When I click 'Yes' to enable syncing I get a message stating that syncing can not be enabled on this computer. I then click 'Override' which essentially does nothing. I am not sure what happened to create this problem nor how to fix it. Any ideas or suggestions?
Thanks,
Joe

Jim,
I found instructions on how to reset SyncServices via Terminal command. After trying it this is the message I received:

After that if I go to my calendar on my macair to try and sync to my Imac, by clicking the sync button on the top bar (like I used to with mobile me) I get a drop down menu that says
1.Time Machine not configured (in shading)
2. Browse other backup discs (in bold)
3.Open Time Machine preferences (in bold)
That's where you're going wrong. Firstly the syncing method that MobileMe used, which places the icon in the menu bar, is quite different from the iCloud method and is irrelevant. Secondly, you're confusing the Time Machine icon with it.
On this Mac you need to set up in System Preferences>iCloud in the same way, then the syncing is automatic. In iCal on both machines you should see in the Calendar list your calendars listed unrer 'iCloud', and your calendars should be visible at http://icloud.com (and choose Calendar in the welcome screen).
If they aren't visible online, go to http://me.com/calendar - you should not be able to see them there. If you can, you haven't migrated.

My computer died rather rapidly so i had no chance to do a backup or anything. now i want to put itunes on my new computer but it will not sync with my ipod. i got my purchased music but not the playlists and it does not sync when i plug it in.

my computer hard drive died rather suddenly so i had no chance to do a back up or any thing. i put itunes on my new computer and got my purchased music but my ipod will not sync and i cannot get my playlists onto the computer. is there any way to get my playlists on my new computer and also get my ipod to sync. it is a waste of time to purchase new music and i do not want to purchase a new ipod since i have so much memory left on this one.

Thank you all for your replies. Here is what i ended up doing. I cannot afford any 3rd party software so i went to itunes and manually entered all my playlists. As I had indicated my purchased music was on my new computer just not the playlists and I could not sync my ipod. After I rebuilt all my playlists I tried to restore my ipod to factory defaults/new. All of the steps called for in apple support and elsewhere were not available to me. I connected my ipod, went to my computer, right clicked my ipod, and formatted. That wiped my ipod so when I connected to itunes it then gave me a restore option. I did the restore and all is good in the empire again. I can now buy new music and sync my ipod so I am a happy camper.
Thanks to all.

I just got a new computer and my iPOD will not sync to it because of the old computer. How can I get my library to sync on the new computer????

I originally synced my iPOD to my PC in April 2011. I purchased a new computer but my iPOD will not sync to it because it is synced to the old PC. I do not want to erase my iPOD to sync with the new PC because I have loaded alot of music from CD's to it. HELP!

See this article how to transfer your data? How to back up your data and set up as a new device
Make sure your new computer is authorized in iTunes. Disable autosync in itunes, connect your ipod, right click on it in the device list and choose backup.
This will save data, pictures and settings to itunes. See what's included in this backup here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
Transfer your purchases the same way to copy all apps and bought media from the Store to your computer.
Set up at least one contact and event on your computer to be able the merge your calendars and contacts after your ipod got wiped during the first sync.
The rest of the data can be restored from the backup you made.
Restoring: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
As mentioned by vazandrew, music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.
There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0
