Ical and IPOD classic issue.

I put together my work schedule on iCal. I work nights.
I synced my work calendar to the ipod classic (80gb).
But....
The calendar on the Ipod is inaccurate. For example. if I added an iCal entry for Thursday night as a work night from 11pm to 7am but Friday night is an off night, the iPod calendar would read that on Thursday, I am scheduled for work from 11pm to 7am, BUT...it would also read that Friday night, I am scheduled for work from 11pm to 7am too. Obviously, this is wrong.
I'm looking for some help on this issue.
Thanks

So I just tried this in order to see if I could help.
Exported a calendar as an .ics file, created a new "test" calendar in Google, then imported my .ics file into the new calendar.
The message I received was:
"Reviewed 89 events; imported 18 events; Unable to process your iCal/CSV file."
Looking at the new Google calendar, I noticed that any RECURRING events were not imported. However, all of the all-day and or timed events that were single occurrences imported perfectly.
Are both of you experiencing similar behavior or is NOTHING getting imported?

ITunes and iPod Classic issues

I have a 120gb classic iPod. About a week ago, I got the red x. So I restored my it. Then anytime my iPod was plugged in, iTunes froze until I unplugged my ipod and then it went back to normal. I've read forum after forum and here's what I've done.
- Reformatted and restored my iPod
- Run diagnostic tests (All normal)
- Uninstalling and reinstalling itunes
- basically everything these forums say.
Now! My iTunes will work with my iPod plugged in. And I can even sync some songs. For instance, I synced about 400, used my ipod for a few days (working fine) but when I went to plug it in today, it reset everything and removed all the music I had put on there. I can sync some songs (it's never a finite amount)
and then itunes freaks out and gives me an error code (never the same one). This is ridiculous. I have the latest version of iTunes (10) so I'm not sure what's going on. Also my iPod just ran out of warranty maybe a week ago. Can anyone help me?! I don't know what else to do!

*Check your iPod with Diagnostics Mode*
It's possible that your iPod's hard drive has started to fail. Take your iPod and place your right thumb on the centre SELECT button and your left on the top MENU button. Press down both thumbs for about 6 seconds until your iPod reboots. Immediately move your left thumb around to the rewind button |<< on the left and hold this down together with SELECT for a further 6 seconds. Your iPod should now switch into Diagnostic Boot mode. Press MENU for *Manual Test*, then select *IO > HardDrive > HDSMARTData* to reveal your stats. For comparison here are mine for my 2 year old 6th Generation Classic:
Retracts: 889
Reallocs: 12
Pending Sectors: 0
PowerOn Hours: 2202
Start/Stops: 894
Temp: Current 24c
Temp: Min 10c
Temp: Max 50c
Take a note of your results. When finished press *SELECT & MENU* for 6 seconds to reset the iPod again.
With modern disc drives sectors are no longer marked bad by a disc scan, if the SMART firmware detects a sector it has trouble accessing it will attempt to invisibly reallocate it to a spare area of the disc.
Note that I've only 12 remapped sectors and none pending. To help explain what the numbers mean here is an extract from the Wikipedia S.M.A.R.T. article:
*Reallocated Sectors Count*
Count of reallocated sectors. When the hard drive finds a read/write/verification error, it marks this sector as "reallocated" and transfers data to a special reserved area (spare area). This process is also known as remapping, and "reallocated" sectors are called remaps. This is why, on modern hard disks, "bad blocks" cannot be found while testing the surface – all bad blocks are hidden in reallocated sectors. However, as the number of reallocated sectors increases, the read/write speed tends to decrease. The raw value normally represents a count of the number of bad sectors that have been found and remapped. Thus, the higher the attribute value, the more sectors the drive has had to reallocate.
*Pending sector count*
Number of "unstable" sectors (waiting to be remapped, because of read errors). If an unstable sector is subsequently written or read successfully, this value is decreased and the sector is not remapped. Read errors on a sector will not remap the sector (since it might be readable later); instead, the drive firmware remembers that the sector needs to be remapped, and remaps it the next time it's written.
Large numbers of Reallocs or Pending Sectors would suggest your drive is failing and that you may need to repair or replace your iPod. Check your stats after another attempt to update your iPod. If the numbers increase that again points to hard drive failure. While it won't be good news at least you'll know it isn't some random software problem and you can decide what to do next.

Iphone 4 and ipod classic computer autorisation bug

Hi there,
I'm having some problems with both my ipod and iphone.
I use my iphone on my PC and my Mac so 2 machine only it has not been connected anywhere else, however it tells me that I have it authorised on 4 machines and so i have only 1 authorisation left.
My ipod classic is even worst, as it is only ever being connected to my PC and more than once it has asked me to be authorised and i think i have no more authorisations left.
Many times after a major itunes update the PC will ask me to authorise the ipod for this itunes library.
is it possible to reset this authorisations? and why is this happening ayway?
Thanks
Miky

I have Windows 8 Pro on my computer purchased from Microsoft for $39.99
I have the latest version of Itunes
I have desktop and the drivers seem to be installed but says "Windows encounted a problem installing the driver software of your device"for both iphone 4 and ipod classic 160gb.
The drivers are there and the actuall Apple products work but diagnostics in itunes don't recognise it. I''ve done Norton One/360 scans and no good. I paid Apple $39 dollars to fix and they said its a microsoft issue along with Symnatec.
I've disable the driver for Ipod and Iphone and reinstalled. It just says error updating the drivers and yesterday ipod worked and then did check for repair drivers and hardware and enabled ipod and iphone. Microsoft had a huge queue for 2 days and Apple don't understand windows 8. Can you help me diesel vdub? or anyone?

Are these songs that you purchased from the iTunes Store or imported from outside of iTunes? If there are iTunes purchases, delete them from your main iTunes library and redownload them again at no cost via iCloud.

Am having problems with my Zeppelin music player and iPod classic. The Zeppelin, bought Dec '12, and the iPod, bought same time, used to work fine but now when I attach iPod to Zeppelin I get a message that says the iPod doesn't support the accesory!

I bought a Zeppelin music player and iPod classic in December 2012, and all went well until I last synched the iPod with iTunes, and now I get a message saying that the iPod doesn't recognise the attached accessory when I try to connect it to the Zeppelin. I did recently update to the latest iTunes version-could this be the problem, and if so how do I cure it? All help appreciated.

It's still charging when you plug it in. That just means it won't play music out the speaker. If that's what you were looking to do, they have speakers for iPods.

Correct. When you update via iTunes all synced media that is not in your iTunes library will be lost.
As IO said before:
You can redownload most iTunes pruchases by:

I do not think it included audio books.

What Itunes version can i use both and ipod classic and ipod touch?

Hello laurie0823,

Yes. There is no limit to the number of iPods you can have synced with one iTunes account or library.
if i hook up ipod touch will i lose all of the stuff in library or can i sync library to ipod touch?
No you can sync your content to any number of devices.
Simply, plug new iPod in, configure it to sync with iTunes library however you wish and be on your way.

Compatability issues with Windows 7 and Ipod Classic initially set-up w/ XP

When I opened my iTunes account for my iPod Classic 2 years ago, I was using Windows XP and could download from iTunes Store or load my own CDs and then sync to my iPod. Long story short: That computer crashed. I now use Windows 7 on both my new computers but while I can review the contents of my Classic, itTunes won't play any of the tracks when connected to my computer's USB. Nor can I sync purchases or downloads. Incidentally, attempts to review my Ipod in "computer" doesn't consistently show my iPod either. I continually receive the same message telling me that "iTunes.exe has been set to run in compatibility mode for an older version of Windows. For best results, turn off compatibility mode for iTunes before opening." I right clicked on iTunes, regarding compatibility, but it informs me that there are no previous versions available to do this. My warranty for technical or phone support has expired, so I am unable to speak to a representative. It sounds like other people are having similar problems with the newest version 11.1 of iTunes. Has anyone worked their way around this?

Hi anne274,
I'm sorry to hear about your Dad.
Since the music was originally ripped from CD, you should be able to put the iPod into disk mode http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1363 and transfer the music into your library without loosing anything.

Multiple 160 GB iPod Classic issues

Last August, I purchased a 160GB iPod Classic. For the first several months, it worked just fine. I hooked it up with the audio cable and it would play in my Hyundai Tucson. One day in the Spring, the volume stopped working in the vehicle. I tried other cables and reset the device several times. It started to work again. About a week later, nothing. It wouldn't even have sound when hooked up to headphones.
I took it the Apple store and we tried it out in a vehicle of one of the associates, it worked. Took it home, down again. Had it replaced. Tried it all different wasy, bought a new audio cable for the car, headphones, etc. NOTHING. Had it replaced last Saturday for the second time. Used it everywhere but the car and it worked. Yesterday, I put headphones on and it crash. (Did not try in car yet).
My questions are these: I have a 30GB Classic that has the same library on it. Could there be something wrong with the library? Corrupt? Could the vehicle need a certain something installed? My dealership knows nothing. I've searched online forums for the issue (thinking maybe it was the car). But this one didn't even go in the car and it crashed after a full charged and library sync.
In case it matters, I have a MacBook Pro 13inch using the most updated iTunes and software.
If anyone can help-Thank you!

Also, I am using my older 30GB iPod classic and it works fine with all outlets, headphones, vehicle, etc.

ICal and iPod glitch?

I want to know if this is a glitch or if there is something wrong with my equitment. What happens is I have a reoccuring event and when I delete one of the events inbetween it goes away from my iCal like it should but on my iPod it remains. So if someone else could try recreating this problem on their equipment that would be great here is what you do:
Make an event that reoccurs everyday for a week.
Sync iPod
Now delete one of the events in the middle (say the reoccurence on a wed. just delete that one event for that day and it will ask and respond "only this event")
Now Sync iPod again and see on the wed (or whatever day you did) is still appearing on the iPod even though you deleted it on the iCal.
Thank you,
TM

T.M.
I just tried doing what you suggested and it turned out as it is supposed to. I used to have issues (still have one, in fact) that were similar.
What I did to start with a clean slate is this:
First I went into iCal and set up my calendars the way I wanted them. Recurring events were set up, etc.
Before syncing with my iPod, I opened the iPod as a disk and trashed the calendar folders. Now this is important - you must empty the trash before syncing, otherwise for some strange reason, the trash is placed back on the iPod.
Now do a sync and all should be well. Then try your test again and see if it solves your issue.
The one issue I haven't been able to resolve is that I have a recurring event for the last Friday of every month. It is properly set up on iCal, but when synced to the iPod, the event shows up on the last Thursday of every month. Strange as that sounds, imagine this - once the event showed up on Friday as was proper, then after the next sync it went back to Thursday even though the event remained the same, untouched, on iCal.
Hope I've helped you out. Let me know if the above works for you, I'm curious.

ICal and iPod Touch won't synch

I have an iPod Touch (OS 4.0) that I had been synching with my iCal (4.0) through iTunes (9.2.1) on my Mac (OS X 10.6.4). I am the only user of all of these. I have 5 calendars in iCal. Several problems have started occurring (many months after purchasing the Touch and synching it successfully):
(1) The synch crashes without doing anything if I try to synch multiple calendars.
(2) I can synch just one calendar, but then it replaces whatever calendar was already there (using straight-forward synch, not the Advanced option of replacing calendars
(3) Using Advanced - replace information on this iPod does nothing (i.e., no calendars are transfered to the iPod
(4) I reset everything: completely reset my iPod (more than once, including giving it a new name), reloaded iCal, reloaded iTunes. Removed Calendar cache. Same problems.
(5) Another issue: Later, I gave my calendars new names, and now iTunes still lists the old calendars as well as the new ones in its "selected calendars" list.
I'm at a loss as to what I should do, but I need my calendar to synch properly. On a day-to-day basis, it's the software I use most.

The genius people at the Apple Store solved the problem. First, I needed to tell iSync to reset its history (in iSync Preferences). Then they reset my iPod. Now it "sees" only the calendars in my iCal, and it syncs them correctly.
I was also told that repeated calendar entries (I use lots of them for weekly meetings) can also generate problems.

IPod classic issues with iTunes 9 just may be disk problems in ipod

I have done extensive testing for several days now on this iTunes 9 issue with iPod Classics. I used 3 different computers, 1 Macbook Pro, Windows 7 and XP with iTunes 8. I had 2 - ipod classic 80GB and 2 - ipod 5th Generation 30GB units people gave me to look at.
It would take too much typing to describe all the restores, syncs, formats, copies I did over the past few days.
Bottom line: Using PC utilities I began to believe the iPod hard drives had bad sectors. I trusted the disk testing because I got different results from different ipods. The problems I experienced and what I have read here are consistent with what you would expect from disk problems and S.M.A.R.T. technology on the drives.
If bad sectors on a drive are dealt with by S.M.A.R.T. I would expect delays in accessing those sectors to occur.. resulting in delays to restore, delays to sync, delays to even skip songs on the ipod itself.
What may be the case is switching to iTunes 9, discovers when it trys to use the bad sectors. Maybe iTunes 9 is more timing temperamental. I have iPods that pass all disk tests that work fine with iTunes 9 on mac and PC. The other 2 ipods reporting bad sectors on a disk test, can restore, but syncing 3000+ songs is nearly impossible. Sync delays were consistent with where I would expect bad sectors to exist in the process. Delays I noticed just copying a folder to the ipod in disk mode were consistent with the delays that occur syncing in iTunes.

It is a possibility...
I will state though that in my opinion the main problem is that itunes 9 is far less fault tolerant than prior versions and is far more likely to preemptively send an ipod into recovery mode when running into a problem when a ipod is plugged in.
I'd had a couple of incidents in prior versions of itunes when it flashed an alert message that it was having trouble accessing the ipod. Usually unplugging and reconnecting the ipod resolved the issue. Unfortunately this system of handling the issue does not work at all with itunes 9. What happens is that the next time you plug in the ipod it is preemptively sent into recovery mode.
I've had my ipod sent into recovery mode 7-8 times since I Installed Itunes 9. The last 5 of those in the last week. I've already done the reinstall itunes 9 from scratch and I still had to do a recovery of the ipod last night. Today I bought a new interface cable on the theory that my old cable might be defective. I've been able to plug it in tonight without itunes complaining about being unable to access the ipod

Itunes and Ipod Classic stop before song ends after transfer to new computer

I purchased a new Windows 7 computer and transferred my library from my XP computer.
I restored my library and all seemed well with the world.
I synched my IPod classic 120GB with over 8000 songs.
I was listening to the IPOD on my docking station when I started noticing that songs would just stop before the end of the song.
I thought my 120GB Ipod was dying, so I purchased a new 160GB.
The problem continued.
I then listened to them on the new computer in Itunes and they did not completely stop, they just skipped to the next track at the same place as it froze on my IPOD.
I listened to the same song on my old computer through Itunes and it played correctly.
I have do not have the Itunes Match and the songs that I currently know that have the problem were purchased on Itunes.
Any suggestions as how to resolve the issue?

I would try copying over the tracks from your XP computer again as the files from the first transfer may be corrupted.

ITunes 7.7 Update and iPod classic = Spinning Beach Ball

Just upgraded to the new iTunes 7.7 (iphone 2.0 and app store support). After, I plugged in my ipod classic and it took almost 5 minutes of the "spinning beach ball" to recognize the ipod. I check and it says my software (1.1.2) is up to date. I ejected and tried it again. Same thing. Once recognized, the ipod classic seems to work fine in iTunes, but still not sure about all options.
Anyone else upgrade iTunes and find the same thing happening?
Note: No option to sync ipod classic games any more. A new "Applications" designation listed in iTunes 7.7 (which has my purchased games listed), but no way to "sync" them or resync them if there were to be an issue or if I wanted to remove the game now and sync it again later...

I'm having the same problem. Last night I wanted to update my iPhone to 2.0 so I had to update iTunes first. When I connect my iPhone, everything works fine (thank God). But quite a different story when I connected my 80 GB classic today. Spinning beachball, iPod icon appears on desktop and in Finder, but iTunes does not show my iPod.
I've tried everything I can think of from resetting my iPod to reinstalling iTunes. Nothing has worked for me.
Is there no fix to this yet? Has anyone solved the problem? Are we suppose to wait for Apple to solve this problem?

Entrourage calendar and iPod Classic

Does the iPod Classic sync calendar data with Microsoft Entourage? The iPod manual notes that it can sync with iCal and Outlook, but Entourage is mentioned only with regard to contact data.
I can’t find any reference to this in the forum.
Thanks,
Tommy

After countless hours of restoring the **** ipod I've finally got my calendar back on it. I think what finally did it was backing up my calendar in outlook and then deleting it, syncing the ipod with the new blank outlook calendar and then reloading my backed up calendar in outlook and syncing my ipod again with the calendar. I know there's a lot of folks in the same position I was in so I hope this helps.
