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

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 - can't remove triplicate events in iPod's calendar - why?

    I've got iTunes set to sync Address Book and iCal with my iPod 60G Video unit. In iCal, I have 2 calendars - School and Home and I've only have a few events on a few days accross several months. In my iPod Calendar, it displays both calendar folders correctly, but when I view "school", it shows events in triplicate and for every day; However, in iCal, it's as I want it.
    I've tried deleting files from my iPod, deleting p.list prefs for iCal etc, backing up iCal to my documents folder and dragging that to my iPod -- none of which worked. I also opened the iPod version of my Calendar events and used it to update my iCal events and then disconnected the iPod. I removed the triplicate events from iCal and saved it to backup, then reconnected my iPod to update the "corrected" calendars via iTunes. But still, when I connect my iPod and boot iTunes, it updates with triplicate events of my school calendar. I've got my prefs in iTunes set to update both calendars (school and Home). What am I not doing? Any ideas?

    I don't have an answer - but I'm having a similar problem: my entries are repeating everyday on my iPod even though they're only single day events in iCal

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • Ical and ipod

    I've recently installed an ipod on my powerbook; each time I start up the system, iCal syncs with the ipod and creates multiple entries of the same appointment, etc. Anyone know how to fix this?

    I too have this problem and I don't know why. But I'm sure glad that I'm not alone. I'll continue to my search for an answer.

  • ICal and iPod Nano

    This may be a really dumb question, but does iCal work on the Nano? I know it works on the regular iPod but I was hoping to save a few bucks - thanks for any help!

    iCal will work with all iPods except for the iPod shuffle.

  • How to restore iCal and Address Book from my iPod mini.

    I used to back-up my iCal and Address Book to both my Nokia phone and my iPod mini twice a day. then over Christmas my laptop hard drive and my phone both broke within 2 days of each other. Ouch! My only copy of my addresses and diary are now on the iPod. I could spend days reading the data and type it into to computer manually, but there has to be a way to do it automatically. *Mustn't there?*

    Similar problem here,
    I have a month-old archived version of my AddressBook, but today my entire rolodex vanished when the program froze and I force quit. I have a much more recent update on my ipod and have made significant additions/editions in the past month. Can I retrieve all that data from my iPod??

  • My ical in my Macbook Pro is not in sync with my Ipad 2 and Ipod touch. What can I do?

    Please help,
    Every time I use my Ipad 2 or my Ipod Touch to enter an event or an appointment to my ical, either one of them will show the event or appointment as soon as they are connected over WiFi. The same event will not show up in my ical in my MacBook Pro. I tried to sync them and nothing. I double check to make sure all the features in all 3 (MacBook Pro, Ipad 2 and Ipod Touch) are set with the same features and nothing. My ical in my MackBook Pro will not sync with the events in my Ipad 2 or my ipod Touch. Now, if I type the event in my MacBook Pro ical, and sync my Ipad 2 and Ipod Touch, then I have the events or appointments are recorded. But, many times, I do not carry my MacBook Pro with me, and I missed an appointment for example. Does anyone know how to solve this problem. Thank you.

    Greetings,
    Questions:
    1. What version of the Mac OS are you running (Apple > About this Mac)?
    2. What version of the iOS are you running (Settings > About)?
    3. Do you use MobileMe/ iCloud or another server based sync solution like Google or Yahoo?
    4. Do other changes to synced information like Address Book content sync successfully back and forth?
    Based on your description it sounds like you have a 1 way sync issue.  Events sync fine between the iOS devices and fine from the computer to the iOS devices but not from the iOS devices to the computer.
    Try:
    Backup your computer and iOS devices before doing anything else:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1427
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
    Ensure all the devices in use are fully up to date: Apple > Software Update / Settings > General > Software Update
    Make separate backups of critical data:
    Backup your computer Addressbook: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=AddressBook/4.0/en/ad961.html
    Backup your computer iCal: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2966
    Reset syncing on your Mac: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1627
    Reply back if that does not resolve your issue.
    Hope that helps.

  • ICal and Address Book quit working on iPod Classic.

    iCal and Address Book no longer sync to my iPod Classic. Why did this stop working? Anyone else have this problem? How can I fix it?
    Thanks!

    I reinstalled the operating system and the computer now syncs fine.
    Cheers!

  • Synch iCal and Address Book on my 20G iPod

    I used to be able to load the contents of my calendar (iCal) and Address Book onto my iPod before a trip. Today I found that it no longer works.
    iTunes still synchs my music files but not the rest. It "doesn't see" the contents of Address Book for instance (Message: No contacts available) and asks me if I want to open it and add a few names. Same with Calendar.
    If I open either Address Book or iCal, the files open fine with all their content.
    Any suggestions? I am preparing for a new trip...

  • Transferring iCal and Address Book from iPod

    I had a lot of trouble installing Leopard to the point where I had to backup my user folder, erase the hard drive and then install Leopard, and re-copy my files back onto the computer. Either there was a special way to backup iCal and Address Book files or it just didn't, but now I am without either. However, thankfully, I had backed up my iPod before I did the erase. Is there a way I can get the Address Book and iCal files off of my iPod? Also, to sync my files beforehand, I put on the automatic sync via iTunes. Will this be problematic when I first plug in my iPod in Leopard? Thanks so much.

  • Syncing ipod touch with ical (and no mobile me) deletes select appointments

    Ok, I realize this thread has been active in many places. Whenever I sync my ipod touch, appointments that I created in it seem to auto delete. It never makes it to ical and disappears from the ipod touch. I've unchecked the sync box in itunes and reselected it and still it has the same problems. Not sure why this happens but I have missed appointments because it will auto-delete unbeknownst to me. Please help, I don't have mobile me and don't know why this is happening.
    Thanks!

    1) Make sure you login to iTunes with your MobileMe account.
    2) Make sure you sync your Mac with the MobileMe System Preference Pane.
    * Be sure to go to the Sync tab and select Bookmarks.
    3) Sync your Mac.
    4) Now in iTunes, goto the Info tab. It should state that Your Bookmarks are being synced with your iPod/iPhone using MobileMe.

  • IPod as a conduit to sync iCal and Outlook 2003 with each other?

    I am able to synchronize my work Outlook 2003 calendar and home Mac iCal with the iPod in two separate files on the iPod. I can see them both if I select "All". My questions are:
    1. What should I do to sync the PC and the Mac with the same file on the iPod?
    2. Is it possible to snychronize the iCal and Outlook with each other via the iPod?
    Thanks,

    If you mount your iPod on your Mac, navgate to the iPod Calendars folder and double-click on an ics file it will import the calendar into iCal. So you can sync from the PC to the iPod to iCal uni-directionally. If Outlook 2003 can import an ics file then you should be able to sync the other way as well. However, in both cases you will essentially be copying over one calendar with another, not really synchronizing.

  • Glitching between phone and ipod

    My iPhone began randomly switching back and forth between the phone and ipod. Each time I tried to make a call or answer a call after a second it would hang up and switch to the ipod and play music. When I unplugged the wired headset provided with the iPhone thus stopped. Any ideas on causes and fixes? Am I doomed to never use my headset again?
