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.

My ipod touch won't synch/download new talks from itunes. I've tried restarting the device many times with no success. New talks won't download.

I am having a similar problem. It did load the song but today it erased them and won't sync any music. The rest of the sync is fine.

HELP! my work ipod touches won't synch with Exchange anymore after the 5.1.1 upgrade

HELP! my work ipod touches won't synch with Exchange anymore after the 5.1.1 upgrade

I may have solved it from another post....the "sync music" tab wasn't clicked under "Summary/Music". I had recently downloaded a more recent version of iTunes, and it may have defaulted to that....sigh.....

My iPad and iPod touch won't play the music I choose. Has anyone any idea what the problem could be?

Hi,
Since the IOS 5.0 update my iPad 2 and iPod touch (3e generation) won't play the music I choose. I choose a song from Michael Jackson for example and it's going to play something completely different. The images has changed aswel, so it is a bit strange.
I treind to sincronise them again, but this doesn't change a thing. Has anyone any idea what could be the problem and how to solve it?
Kind Regards,
Ward

So just in case anyone else ever runs into this...
I solved the issue and it was that between the plug of the new earbuds being slightly thicker than the Apple earpods, and the width of the case that I was using for my iPod, there wasn't a connection being made to activate the remote function.
I took off the case and now the earbuds work exactly as they should!

2G iPod Touch won't synch or charge with computer.

I have a 2nd gen. iPod Touch and when i plug it into my computer it won't recognize it, charge it, or synch it. The only thing that happens when you plug it in is the computer makes 3 fast, same pitched tones. It's kind of like when you would normally plug it in and it makes those two tones. Anyway, so I thought maybe it was the cord so I got another chord and it didn't make a difference. I reinstalled iTunes and it made no difference. I restarted, and then restored my iPod and tried it again and it didn't work. I made sure it was fully charged too, to no avail. Finally I plugged in my iPod Video and it was recognized by the computer immediately so I know that it's a problem with the iPod touch. But the iPod Touch still works with my iHome. I have no idea what it could be. Does anyone know what the problem is?

Actually you are in a better position than some are with this problem. I would back up my iTunes library and then remove it completely from my computer. Use the info in this article to remove iTunes:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925
Then download the latest copy of iTunes and install that. That generally will fix it.

Ipod touch won't synch

I got an 8GB ipod touch last month and yesterday I downloaded some new songs from itunes and when I tried to synch my ipod with the computer no songs would synch and all the songs on my ipod were erased, but they are still on my itunes on the computer. I have tried to synch my ipod several times but it just says it is synching for 2 seconds and no songs load. I have tried restarting the computer and the ipod, changing ports, and the synch diagnostic, but it says everything is fine and nothing helps. What can I do?

I am having a similar problem. It did load the song but today it erased them and won't sync any music. The rest of the sync is fine.

IPod Touch won't synch with PC

I am attempting to connect a new IPod Touch to my PC. The prompt said the device will not work with the installed version of ITunes and directed me to uninstall ITunes. I attempted to upgrade by downloading a new version of ITunes, but the IPod Touch still will not synch.
If I do uninstall ITunes, do I risk losing all my recorded music?

I had exactly the same problem and have found a solution this evening. I have a Siemens laptop running Windows 7 Ultimate, also running iTunes 9.0.3 and a 2nd Gen iPod Touch. With iTunes running, I plugged the ipod in and the progress bar would stick on sync for many hours with no success (left it for 10hrs!). I tried unistalling itunes and reinstalling, evening trying older versions (8 and 9), and no, I didn't loose the library or playlist (I have always accepted the default locations on set up).
WHat the problem in my case seems to be, is the itunesbackup.exe program. When the ipod is connected and syncing (and stuck as usual) I open task manager, go to processes, highlight "itunesbackup.exe" and then end that process. iTunes then moves on to the next step and starts syncing etc etc - works perfectly.
Hope this helps.

My apple devices all on iOS6.1.3 (iPhone 5, iPad 4 and iPod touch) won't find Bluetooth devices

My iPhone 5, my iPad 4th generation and my iPod touch will not find my Bluetooth panasonic speaker or any other Bluetooth devices that are switched on. They all have the iOS.6.1.3 software. When you turn on Bluetooth on any of these devices it just swirls around and doesn't continuously and never finds any devices despite my Panasonic Bluetooth speaker being available. Can anyone help or come up with any suggestions as to why all three of my devices cannot Find or connect to any Bluetooth device? Much appreciated!! Thanks!! X

Based on your explanation, it sounds like your Panasonic speaker and "any other Bluetooth devices that are switched on" are not in pairing mode when your iPhone, iPad, and iPod are looking for devices to pair with.
The most likely way to achieve your objective would be to cycle power on the Panasonic speaker and other devices at just about the same time as you start your Bluetooth pairing hunt on the Apple devices. In other words, turn on Bluetooth on, say, the iPhone and then quickly after that, cycle power on the Panasonic speaker.

Brand-new iPod touch won't synch

I bought a new touch and hooked it into the USB2.0 port. The iPod chirped, the picture of iTunes appeared on the screen. Then - nothing. The screen went blank. iTunes never turned on. However, the battery continued to charge. I tried all my USB ports with no difference. Any ideas?

Hello,
Do you have the very latest version of iTunes installed?
Is the USB2.0 original or is it an upgrade?

My iPod Touch won't synch

iPod 4th gen 32 Gb with around 122 apps and it gets stuck in the second step where it tries to backup but my iPod reboots itself after a few minutes and the whole process starts again.
I tried a wired synch, Wi-Fi synch, iCloud synch, nothing works
Everything is up to date

Nope, didn't worked.
Just now i have tried to synch it to iCloud with everything deactivated through the Manage storage section (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4859)
I have deleted all things from iCloud that showed on that page, deleted the backup there and everything else.
Then i clicked Back Up Now with a 17,7 Mb file to synch to iCloud and is stuck, like always, to evaluating the time it requires to finish the synch then reboots
Btw, are you some kind of employee at Apple?

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:

My Ipod touch will not synch all songs in my library - on my windows 8 laptop. Doesn't matter if the songs are checked or not - only some songs will synch to the IPOD. I have multiple devices and two accounts.

My IPOD touch will not synch all songs in my library. Library is on a windows 8 laptop. Checking the songs does not matter. I have multiple devices (ipod, IPhone 4 and 5, IPad 2) and two ITunes accounts.

All songs play on the laptop windows 8. The second Ipod touch we have - all songs synch to it and play.
But the first Ipod touch we bought - only half (or so) of the songs synch. So I assume there is an issue with the newer Ipod touch. The songs not synching are songs I added to the library from CD's.

Ipod touch won't connect to computer, windows 7, and itunes, and won't charge on my computer

Whenever I plug in my ipod touch to my computer, NOTHING HAPPENS.There is no "bleep" sound, nothing shows up under my computer, nothing shows up in itunes, and my ipod touch won't even charge. How can I fix this?
I have tried many things to fix this issue, including reading and doing everything listed under "iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows".
I have:
- deleted itunes and reinstalled it
- reset my ipod touch using the home and power key
- tried fixing drivers
- using a different cord
- using a different computer (my ipod touch won't even show up on any other computer)
etc.
And yet my ipod touch still will not connect to my computer or itunes, and will not charge on my computer. It charges fine in the wall, though.
I have more information that I believe may be integral to fix this issue:
- My ipod touch is up to date with iOS 8.0.2
- My itunes is up to date with version 11.4
- I tried to connect my ipod using bluetooth, and it shows up like this
(other than this, it won't show up on my computer at all)
- After I had updated my ipod touch and itunes and even synced my ipod (which had worked fine), I had then put a facebook app and facebook message app on my ipod touch, which after I had done that the next day I noticed that my ipod touch would not even show up on my computer at all (so I deleted the apps) and yet the problem is still persisting.
- I installed iCloud on both my ipod touch and my itunes
- Other than what I stated, I have not made any changes to my ipod touch.
In my device manager, NO APPLE PRODUCTS/DRIVERS SHOW UP ANYWHERE
The only place that apple mobile device show up at is here -
I've even tried to reset/stop/set to automatic the Apple Mobile Device here, and still it does not help.
Someone please help me. I've provided much information, so some assistance would really be appreciated. If I need to provide more information, please let me know.

You can try going to Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and setting and then try setting up via iTunes. If still problem then set up via wifi and go to an Apple Store
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

My 4th Gen iPod Touch won't open up the apps I've downloaded. I've tried uninstalling and then reinstalling the app and it seems to only be a temporary fix. The reset and reboot didn't work either. Help would be appreciated.

My 4th Gen iPod Touch won't open up the apps I've downloaded. I've tried uninstalling and then reinstalling the app and it seems to only be a temporary fix. The reset and reboot didn't work either. Help would be appreciated.
In more specific terms. The apps that came on the iPod like the weather and maps and whatnot have been working flawlessly. It's just when I download an app and then disconnect from wifi it's almost like I'm on a timer until the app stops working. It acts like it wants to open, the screen flashes black then resets to the home pages. I've tried all of the basic fixes, rebooting, reseting, uninstalling then reinstalling. But like in my...long...question, the reinstalling option only seems to be a temporary fix. I just recently downloaded the 5.1.1 udate (I think that's what it was) does that have anything to do with it, or am I just derpy when it comes to iPods?

Try the other suggestions here:
iOS: Troubleshooting applications purchased from the App Store
Then try a restore.
