ICal duplicates on iPod Touch

I've duplicates syncing with my iCal and iPod Touch.
I use Mobile Me and have also synced using iTunes, including the overwrite option.
I've reset the ipod too.
But still got duplicates.
Any ideas? I'm unwilling to restore the ipod.

First I'd like to clarify some nomenclature. I switched from using Now Up-to-Date and Now Contact to iCal and Address Book. In Now Up-to-Date, there was only one Calendar, although you could have miltiple Calendar files with different names. Within a Calendar, you could have many categories of calendar entries which could be customized as to type style (Regular, Bold, Italic, etc. and Color). I had used it for over ten years and during that time had moved several times and lived overseas in two countries. Thus I had on category for Spanish Holidays, another for Portugues Holidays and many others, with a total of about 12 categories.
When I shifted to iCal, I archived all old calendar entries but my new iCal Calendar ended up with 12 sub calendars. I have culled/combined them to the following list: Club Events, Holidays and Birthdays, El Paso events, Medical-Dental, On-Screen Reminders, Special Days, KId's Events, Work, Theater & Entertainment, Travel plus subscriptions to Birthdays (direct from Address Book), Holidays in Spain, and Holidays in Portugal.
That is the description of my iCal Calendar as seen on my Mac Pro and MacBook Pro, automatically synched through Mobile.Me.
On my iPodTouch, I see at the top, All Calendars, then From My Mac, below which is one subcalendar entitled All from My Mac, and below that is [email protected] (MobileMe), followed by all of the subcalendars I have described above.
I would like to get rid of the From My Mac entry so that All Calendars and MobileMe are one and the same. After reading other threads, I have decided the only way to do so is to talk to a MobileMe expert.

Why does my ical on my ipod touch not sync with my ical on my desktop if I put in an event on the ipod calendar?

Why does my ical on my ipod touch not sync with my ical on my desktop imac ical?
It will if I put it in on my desktop though.
Please help,

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

I recently purchased new Mac Mini with Lion installed. Now I can't get iTunes to sync iCal from my iPod Touch (3rd gen) to my Mini.

I recently purchased a new Mac Mini with Lion installed. I downloaded the latest version of iTunes. Now I can't get iTunes to sync iCal from my iPod Touch (3rd gen) to my Mini. Everything else syncs great, and iCal syncs from my Mini to my Touch. My Touch has the latest iOS installed. I have tried rebooting my Touch, removing the sync calendars option from iTunes>Info and checking it again after applying and closing iTunes, and restarting my Mini. Any help will be appreciated!

List view in iCal on my iPod touch is corrupted

The 'list view' seems to be all wonky in Calendar on my iPod touch.
The dates for a given day that's displayed don't make sense:
i.e. Sunday Oct. 27 2030 followed by Saturday July 14 2001 followed by Tuesday Jan. 16 2001 are listed in consecutive order instead of today, tomorrow and next day (with correct dates).
Also, the 'events' given for each day listed don't make sense and are often duplicated.
The 'day' and 'month' views however, seem to be ok and not corrupted. The 'list' field in the month view also seems fine ?
Has anybody experienced this ? Very frustrating, since I like the list view.
I make most of my entries/changes to iCal on our main desktop (iMac 24") then sync. to my iPod. The list view seems ok on the desktop.
Any help greatly appreciated.
ps. not sure if the problem corresponded with an upgrade of the Ipod software to OS 3.1 from 2.x....

Adding an event to your iCal on your iPod touch

So...I understand you can sync the iPod touch's iCal with a calendar on your main computer (using Entourage, outlook, or simply iCal.) BUT....can you add events directly into your Ipod touch...and then simply view both calendars at the same time like you can do using iCal on your desktop? Basically, use your Ipod touch as a sort of palm pilot.
Any info on this would be great.

No, you can't do this. Apple have decided that iPod Touch users shouldn't be allowed to add calendar entries and have broken the calendar.
You can let Apple know we want the calendar fixed by filling out the form at: http://www.apple.com/feedback/
It only takes a minute and it's the best way we have of telling them we don't want a crippled calendar.

ICal syncing with iPOD touch wirelessly

IPOD touch will no longer sync wirelessly with iCAL on my iMAC. No such issues previously.

Same problem here and it's much worse after most recent update for iPod touch. I cannot get ANY entries to iPod Touch to update in iCal nor entries I put into iCal to update to Ipod Touch. Any help would be appreciated. I've tried everything I know to try. Thanks!

ICal + google calendar + iPod touch

Hi,
I use iCal to update my events to my Google calendar (using CalDAV) and then use iTunes to update my iPod touch. But the problem is that, the timings from the google calendar is all messed up. The other calendars (the default ones or the ones created within iCal) seem to be okay! Does anyone have an idea how to solve this?
Thank you.

Is anyone else having this problem?

Managing iCal calendars on iPod touch

I know there have been plenty of topics in this discussion started by folks trying to get the color codes on their iPod touch and iPhone calendars to match what they see in iCal and MobileMe. I've battled this issue pretty much ever since I bought my first-generation iPod touch as a replacement for my Palm Tungsten E PDA. I don't want to start another one of those fruitless discussions.
I'm pretty much hard-coded when it comes to the colors I associate with my calendars on desktop and laptop (red=national holidays, blue=household events, green=office events, purple=school events, etc.), and seeing different colors on the events on my iPod makes the Calendar app confusing, distracting and hard to use. I've realized I'd almost rather not check my schedule on my iPod, because I can't scan events the way I'm used to. As a replacement for my Palm PDA, in other words, I'm afraid my iPod's a failure.
Unless, that is, someone knows of a way to turn the colors off in the Calendar app or, more likely, can recommend a better third-party solution in the App Store.
My first-generation touch is already feeling outstripped by recent hardware updates, and I'm coming to realize I'll be looking for a replacement before much longer. If I can't figure out a good way to make an iPod touch sync with my calendars, my next handheld is going to be something other than an iPod.

Lost ical data on ipod touch during sync

Using mac book with snow leopard version 10.6.8. I closed my mobile me account after it expired. I am not using the cloud. When I tried to sync my 2nd gen ipod touch, I lost all my ical data on my touch. Before deleting mobile me, I exported all my calendar data from mobileme cals and imported all data into new calendars "on my mac". The only way I could set up new calendars was by setting up a new group. Don't know if this has anything to do with the problem. Everything else on touch syncs. I tried resetting the touch. I also reset sync history in isync. Nothing has worked so far. How can I get my ical data to sync to my touch?

The "Time Zone Support" in settings on the iPod said Cupertino, USA.
I've turned that off now and it seems to have fixed the problem.
NB: There is a note in the settings that says "When off, events will display according to the time zone of your current location."
Thanks for you help!

Synching To Do in iCAL with my iPod touch

I enter To Do items in iCAL. They seem to appear automatically in a folder called To Do under Reminders in Mail.
However, I have not found a way to get the To Do items to appear on my iPod.
If this cannot be done by simply synching either iCal or Mail with my iPod, is there any app which can be recommended that will allow me to enter To Do items on the mac and have them appear on the iPod?

If ou turned on Settings > iCloud > Find My before it was lost, login to our iCloud account, click Find My Phone and see if it shows up.
To show Find My must have been turned on, it must be powered p, and it must be connected to the Internet. Without all of those you will not be able to find it.

When I try to create a new event in iCal on my iPod Touch I cannot select "done" or "cancel" to save it?

However when I sync my Mac and my iPod it will show up fine on my Mac. It just drives me crazy and if I had to create more than one event in iCal I probably couldn't. Any fix to this? Thanks.

You can not add events to the birthday's calendar. To add birthday's to the birthday calendar you need to add the birthday to a contact in the Contacts app.
You can set your default calendar here:
iCal > Preferences > General > Default Calendar and chose the calendar you want to default to.

I have Duplicates on Ipod Touch, Not Itunes.

Okay so when i go to listen to music on my ipod, there is about 10-15 sings that are duplicated. But when i go to itunes, it says every song is a single song and i have no duplicates. I dont wish to restore my ipod because not everything is saved from it to my computer.

- From your description you did something to iTunes on the computer such that the iPod sees ythe iTunes library as a new library. That is why you are getting the message about erasing when you try to sync. Yu can, as you are doing, managing music with the computer since you can do that among different conputer. See:
Using iPhone, iPad, or iPod with multiple computers
- If all music, apps, sysnced photos are on the computer you need to:
--- Make a backup of the iPod by connecting the iPod to the computer and right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and selecing Backup and then restore the iPod from that backup.
- You can transfer iTunes purchases to the computer by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
- You can transfer non-iTunes purchaed music by using one of the third-party programs discussed here. Some of those may also do synced photos.

ICal to do list not appearing on ipod touch

Did a search and couldn't find anything definitive on it.
I assume that there is no syncing of to do lists from iCal to the iPod Touch?

Yep, I'm assuming the same thing - bummer because if I could get my touch to do the "to do" lists, I could get rid of my palm pilot (since most of what I do on the palm pilot is calendar & to do).
Maybe after Feb. and the SDK gets released, someone will make a work-around (no idea why Apple wouldn't, though - b/c iCal is THEIR program).

ICal suddenly not syncing with iPod Touch

Up until I downloaded 2.0 for the iPod touch I haven't had any problems syncing iCal with my iPod touch. Now, nothing appears to be going back and forth. I have restored the software on my touch a couple of times; once I even had it restore the touch as if it was a new iPod (rather than restoring the backup). I've reduced the number of calendars. I've tried the "Advanced" feature at the bottom of the "Info" tab (i.e., "Replace Information on the iPod"). In reading other posts, I've noticed that others are having this problem with their new 3G iPhones. What is going on? Any solutions?

Same problem here and it's much worse after most recent update for iPod touch. I cannot get ANY entries to iPod Touch to update in iCal nor entries I put into iCal to update to Ipod Touch. Any help would be appreciated. I've tried everything I know to try. Thanks!

ICal Syncing Wrong Times with Ipod Touch or iPhone - Everything 2 Hours Off

Every setting is uniform across all devices (timezones, etc) and yet iCal on my iPod touch or iPhone lists my scheduled events 2 hours earlier than what I inputed on my computer. The iCal calendar on Snow Leopard is correct, but my synced devices are not.
What gives? This is a HUUUGEEE issue for someone that uses their schedule book to get through each day. iCal is TOTALLY UNRELIABLE with this issue.

I have almost exactly the same problem. The ical on my macbook has the correct times, but on my ipod touch all events appear one hour earlier. Both devices are set to Geneva time, and the time displayed on them is the same.
This is really annoying as I am about to set off travelling, and was just going to take my touch for schedule - now I either have to pack my macbook or do everything the good old fashioned pen and paper way.
Can anyone help?
