ICal not syncing properly w/ iPod Touch

I believe this is an iCal problem, not an iPod issue:
My new iPod Touch is not syncing properly with my iCal calendars. I notice after syncing "All Calendars" that some of my appointments in iCal were showing up, but most were not. And some events on my iPod were not on my laptop. I tried the "Replace Information" option under Info in iTunes, but it didn't help. Then I noticed something even weirder -- the list of Calendars that appears in the "Selected Calendars" list in iTunes is NOT my current set of calendars. The iTunes list includes some calendars that I have deleted or renamed, and is missing some new ones. So I guess I'm not surprised by the events being out of sync, but how can this be? How can iTunes be picking up an obsolete set of calendars and events?
I tried a backup within iCal, then deleted every calendar one-by-one, leaving just a new calender named "empty". I quit iCal and iTunes, and also deleted four files in my Prefs folder and the iCal folder in Application support. Then I did restored from my iCal backup, and quit and restarted both iCal and iTunes. After all that, iTunes still shows the old list of calendars.
I'll also mention that iCal itself has been very squirrelly for quite a long time. Every so often it will just "run away", chewing up CPU and memory until I force-quit. Haven't solved that one, yet, either.
Any suggestions?

PROBLEM SOLVED: I backed up my iCal data (from within iCal); quit; deleted all prefs, iCal cache files, and the whole Calendars folder in my Library; then relaunched iCal and Restored from my backup file. iTunes then showed the correct list of calendars when I connected my iPod touch, and I got a proper sync. Who knows, maybe this will also fix the frequent runaway crashes I've been having.

  • Ical not syncing properly on iPod touch

    No matter what I do I can't seem to get ical to sync properly to my ipod touch.  Works great on ipad 2.  I have completely removed calendars from ipod and verified that my MBP calendar is correct, but when I sync I get 4 or 5 copies of every event for every day.  How can I get it to sync properly?

  • How come my imsg is not syncing properly between iPod touch and Macbook pro?

    My imsgs are recieved on my macbook and they used to be simultaneously sent to my ipod too. But now they don't show up as imsg notifications on my ipod, only macbook. When I click in the conversation on my ipod I see the new messages, but I only get a notification on my macbook. How do I fix this so that a notification pops up on both devices?

    Sign out of iMessage on both devices, then sign back in.

  • Apps will not sync to my Ipod touch

    I read through the other question about the apps not syncing to the ipod touch. I then realized that I do not have the Applications tab on my Itunes. I also just recently downloaded the new Itunes as well. Not sure how to get the applications tab or how to get them to sync without it.

    Two questions, have you ever been able to Sync Apps to his Touch and have you *enabled restrictions* on his Touch?
    On the Touch, go into the Settings/General/Restrictions menu and look for *Installing Apps* on that list. If you have set restrictions on, *Installing Apps* is set to On as a default (on my Touch anyway), so you need to turn off the Apps one, at least until you have installed the ones you are prepared to let him have.

  • My new iPhone 3G will not sync with my iPod Touch 3G

    I was pretty well assured that under my same iTunes account I would sync my Apps, music library, etc with out problem. I'm not sure if there's a setting I'm missing somewhere? The other thing is the iPod Touch is gone, so I have my library. Any advise? Thank you in advance!

    What do you mean your "iPhone 3G will not sync with my iPod Touch 3G"? You don't sync an iPhone with an iPod - you sync directly to iTunes.
    Just plug the iPhone into the computer with your iTunes Library on it and sync it as normal. Everything that is in that iTunes Library under that iTunes Account will be synced to the iPhone, in exactly the same way as you synced your iPod touch.

  • ICloud is not syncing to my iPod touches.

    I am setting up iCloud and have been able to get my iCal to sync to iCloud but now new events I put in the calendar on both my 3rd and 4th gen iPod touches are not saving correctly. The event goes to iCal and iCloud but does not save on the iTouch it was entered on or go over to the other iTouch. Also new events entered in iCal and iCloud don't go to either iTouch. iCal and iCloud are talking to each other but the iTouches are out of the loop. Anyone having this trouble?

    I finally got it to update events, but the times are aways off.

  • I got a new laptop and now all my music will not sync to my iPod touch. How do i fix this??

    My old latop crashed and now i am using a laptop from work. i signed into my apple account. I downloaded 4 cds to my iTunes, and restored and updated my iPod touch 3rd generation. i tried syncing all the music on my account to my iPod, and it will only sync 48 of 600 or so songs. The 48 songs are from the 4 CDs. How do I get all of my previous music which does show up into my iTunes music library to sync to my iPod. HELP

    While that may work9I do not think it will) with iTunes purchased music it will not work for other music.

    - For other music you will need a third-party program like one of those discussed here.

  • Songs that I recently added to my iTunes (not purchased from iTunes store) will not sync with my iPod touch 4th generation. How can I fix this?

    I typically download my music directly from youtube. I have never had any issue when it came to putting it on my ipod touch (4th generation). However, today, I downloaded a couple of songs, added them to my iTunes (11.1.4). When I hit "sync" it said at the top that it was "Synching iPod: Steps 1of 3." It went through these steps incredibly quickly, a matter of seconds really, and I went to check it they had synced. They had not. I tried this several times before uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes. Even with the re-install, it does not work. I am wondering if it is because these songs were not downloaded directly from the iTunes store. i tried downloading a song from the iTunes store and it is currently in my iPod, so I know that it is able to sync music.  I just started using this version of iTunes as I just installed it on the laptop I just bought (windows 8).

    Was the iPod setup via iTunes on this computer?
    Setup via wifi?
    Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
    Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
    Do the songs play in iTunes?           
    Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

  • ITunes not syncing music to iPod Touch?

    I'm trying to sync some music to my iPod Touch 4G 64GB, but it skips the step after it checks tracks to sync. It's never done this before and I've unchecked, synced and rechecked and synced my music but nothing will transfer. It deleted all of my music I origonally had on it and most of my iTunes U videos, I'm not sure why or what to do.
    My iPod is running iOS 6 beta 3

  • ITunes not syncing Apps on iPod Touch

    My iPod Touch 3rd generation, model A1318 is running iOS 5.1 (latest for the model I believe).
    I have the latest iTunes 11.2.2.3 running on Windows 8.1.1 running on a new computer and it is authorized to the Apple Store.
    The apps update fine into iTunes on the computer, but when iTunes syncs to the iPod, only music syncs, the updated apps do not.
    iTunes "knows" they are to be updated ("Update" displayed alongside the updated apps) and Automatically install is checked, but during sync, the apps never appear in iTunes progress bar and the apps don't get updated to the iPod.
    Apps updated fine on my old XP system, but not on the new Windows 8.1 system.
    Any help on this would be much appreciated - it is driving me nuts!

    I may have found the answer.
    I checked each of the Apps that needed updating, and they all listed that they needed an iOS version 6 or 7 - higher than the 5.1.1 that my iPod supports.
    If this is the issue, it would be nice if there was some message or indication that this was the case.

  • Itunes not syncing completely w/ ipod touch

    I found that some albums were displaying duplicate songs on my ipod touch, but not in Itunes.  I decided to try removing all music and re-syncing.  Itunes goes through steps of synching, but doesn't take nearly as long as it should to remove all the music.  When I disconnect the ipod touch, some of the music is removed but not all of it.  When I plug it back into my pc, Itunes sees that there is 17 GB of music.  Process repeats.

  • IBooks will not sync to my iPod touch?

    I have an iPod touch 2nd generation running iOS 4.2.1, and I noticed some of the books I wanted on my iPod were on my computer, but not on my iPod. I tried to sync them, but each time it says it has finished syncing extremely quickly, and the books do not appear. I'm running iTunes 10.3.1 Beta on Windows 7, could it be a bug perhaps? I just want to make sure it's sorted out for when I get my iPad 2, because I'd like to transfer all the books I downloaded. I'm also running the latest version of iBooks.
    Thanks!

    Doesn't matter now, I found out how to fix it. It had stowed the books away in my iPod's memory, but they just didn't show up in iBooks. So I told iTunes not to sync them, then I synced my iPod, then told it to put them back on, and synced my iPod, and they came up in iBooks.

  • Why do I get deleted iCal events synced to my iPod Touch?

    Hi,
    Recently I had to deal with a quite a complicated schedule of events, some that repeated every second day at night, others every third day in the morning, etc. I made errors, deleted them, started over. When I synced, all my errors showed up on my iPod, even when I clicked ‘replace all information from this computer on next sync.’
    Can someone help?

    Hi Frederick,
    1. I assume you all know that this is a user forum, not an Apple support group.
    Oh yes, do I ever know that this is not an Apple support group..., but probably not in the sense that you meant it. What about the disastrous firmware for Airport Extreme 4.xx, which dropped connections right left and center, with literally hundreds of forum visitors to get help and advice, and completely ignored by Apple? What about the erratic cursor jumping in system 10.2 to 10.4, where one started to type and suddenly the cursor jumped to a completely different spot in the document and continued there, also reported by dozens of people completely ignored by Apple? Would you like me to continue?
    2. Try resetting iSync. Open iSync, go to Preferences, and under Advanced, click on Reset Sync History. (If it is greyed out, wait a bit.)
    I don’t and cannot use iSync, since my iPod touch is not a bluetooth device. I use iTunes and the option of resetting the sync history is not present in iTunes. If it is, can you direct me where in the preferences this is available?
    Thank you for your help,
    Klaus
