ICal with iPod

My iCal application on my iBook G4 is not syncing with my iPod when I connect it to my Mac. Is there something I am doing wrong or need to do to make the information transfer into my iPod?

This is easier to configure with latest version of iTunes (version 7), so if you have not recently downloaded the latest version, I would recommend doing so first.
With iTunes 7, when you connect your iPod, within iTunes you should be able to select your iPod from the left-hand menu. When you click on your iPod, it should give you some configuration options for your iPod in the main screen (Music, Movies, etc.) There will be a tab for Calendar/Contacts. When you click on that tab, it will give you the option of turning on sync for iCal.
Regards,
Mike

Synching ical with ipod

when I synch my ical with my ipod I can't get my "notes" for an event to show up on more then one line. I tend to have quite a few notes that would be nice to access. Is there some way to put "enters" into it so it's readable on my ipod?
Thanks!

I don't have Leopard yet so it can't be that. I can't get my notes feature to work right either so I can't even use that instead. Guess for now I'm stuck with the old paper printer option....

I tried to reset in isync the cronology sync and export and import my cal but nothing.
Can you help me please?

I take it you have the right boxes ticked in the iTunes iPod 'info' tab?
Anything odd showing up in the console?

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!

When I try to sync my iPod iCal with my MBP iCal via WiFi I get a message saying "Safari Downloading Safe Browsing Data" but I am connected to a local network and thus the syncing does not complete"

When I try to sync my iPod iCal with my MBP (OS 10.7) iCal via iTunes and WiFi I get a message saying "Safari Downloading Safe Browsing Data" but I am connected to a local network and thus the syncing does not complete because the downloading never completes because I am not connected to the internet.
Why does syncing iCal need Safari Safe Browsing Data? How can I turn this off?

See:
iTunes 10.5 and later: Troubleshooting iTunes Wi-Fi Syncing
"Safari Downloading Safe Browsing Data" is just some data that is synce with the computer. To turn off on the Mac go to System Preferencs>iCloud and turn off Safari

Help on syncing multiple calendars with iPod Touch 4g 64g

In our university, we use iCal with Blackboard. Also, our main *email* is Entourage - pretty sure it's the most recent version for Mac.
How can we sync the Entourage calendar with iCal, and be sure that they are all merged and 2-way functional for the iPod touch and laptops (I know for multiple computers we'll have to set up home sharing - for now let's just focus on the calendar syncing).
I have instructions for syncing Entourage with iPod Touch, and it's been recommended to use Google to sync with iCal (thanks llllass) but we don't want to use Google or MobileMe to get to iCal. iCal is already built into the iPod Touch, as I'm sure you know.
Any advice on how to make this super simple?
Thanks in advance.

My first suggestion is to try Stanza, as it is a much more configurable ebook reader. You can use the
Calibre (ebook management/conversion utility) to transfer ebooks from your computer to your iPod Touch.
<http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/30657/calibre>
Looking at iBooks on my iPod Touch, my font selection and font size are only present when I have an ebook open. If I tap the center of a page, the top edge of the screen has
Library | Table of Contents | Brightness | aA (font size, and font selection) | Search | Bookmark
Where the aA icon brings up a control that has a small a and a large A. If I tap on the large A, each tap increases the font size until it gets REALLY BIG. Tapping on teh small a reduces the font size for each tap.
Landscape lock. OK for the iPod Touch as a whole, you put the iPod Touch in the orientation you desire, then you quick double-tap on the home button. This will bring up a list of your running apps. Now slide the list to the right, and you will see music controls as well as on the far left a screen lock button. Tap the screen lock button to lock your iPod Touch in its current orientation. Unlock it later when you want your iPod Touch to be able to rotae again.
NOTE: Stanza as an ebook reader, it has its own configuration control that locks Stanza into a specific orientation, independent of the iPod Touch orientation or the iPod Touch orientation lock. Another reason I like Stanza.
Wallpaper. I think you can only change it to something else. Settings -> Wallpaper, then tap on the screen you want to change. Now select a different Wallpaper from either the Wallpaper selections, or anything in your Camera Roll, or your Photo Library.

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

Syncing Address Book contacts with iPod

I know some people will think this post should be in the iPod forum but I have realised that it is not my iPod beccasue I tried using a different iPod and the same problem happened. Anyway...the problem is that when I choose to sync Address Book contacts with iPod it comes up with this message:
No contacts available
Contact syncinig cannot be enabled because there are no contacts available. Do you want to open Address Book and create contacts now?
And gives me the options: Cancel and Open Address Book
I have tried deleting several different preferences for iTunes, Address Book and iSync (just incase).
I don't know what else to do, I know I can manually add my contacts by exporting them all as a vCard but it would be so much easier if iTunes could do it. Please help if you know anything!

I've got Calenders syncing again, not sure how I did it. I deleted the one of the folders in /Users/Alex/Library/Application Support/SyncServices/Local/clientdata/
I found that in each folder there is a clientname.txt file with the name of what data is in the folder e.g. iCal, Safari, Keychain, Mail.
I deleted the iCal one and iTunes seems to be syncing it now. So I looked for a folder with Address Book in the clientname.txt file but there wasn't one. I am wondering whether that's the reason!

Sync iCal from iPod

My MacBook died. Sad day.
It's being fixed/replaced by Apple. I'd like to use my 30GB iPod to transfer my music, pics, and (most importantly)my iCal calendars onto my macbook when it gets back. I was told it will be set back to factory settings, and the HD is wiped.
Can I use my iPod to update iCal with my old calendars when I get my macbook back? I'm familiar with using senuti for itunes, but I wasnt sure if there is a similar program for iCal.
Thanks!

Yes that is the problem
i have the
ipod touch a third gen eight gigabyte
So looks like i need to get a newer Ipod Touch
to make icloud work on nit
thanks for all your help guys

Can i sync my ical with my android device

I need to find an app on the Apple App Store/ Android Market that can sync my iCal with my Android phone. Does such an app exist?

The Palm Desktop will not interact directly with iCal or an iPod Touch—or, any other iPod—at all.
To transfer your contacts to the Address Book, export them as a vCard file from the Palm Desktop and double-click the file to import it into the Address Book. To transfer your events to iCal, export them as a vCal file and double-click the file to import it into iCal.
There is no way to transfer either tasks or memos from the Palm Desktop to iCal or any other Apple-provided application: only contact and event data can be exported into a form supported by the Address Book and iCal.

Any ideas on problem with ipod and alpine cde-9881 car stereo

I have an ipod 60gb v 1.2.1 and a new Alpine car stereo with Ipod connecting cable. When connected, the stereo message reads IPod searching. It never assumes control of ipod,or quits searching. I have reset and restored my ipod, had the apple geek at genius bar check it out. My ipod does not play on the alpine ipod ready stereo in my husband's car, nor the stereos in Car Toys. My husband's 30 gb ipod plays on the stereo in his car AND my car. Help! Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this problem? Alpine is telling me it could be a software problem with my ipod, and to revert to an earlier version of itunes. But my husband's ipod works in my car. So I did a restore using his computer and itunes....no luck. am interested in any ideas on a possible solution!!
Thanks in advance

Have you had a chance to look at this troubleshooting page? If not, have a look at the bottom section that covers what to try if the message keeps reappearing: iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode - Use iTunes to restore
Towards the end it says "If after restoring your iPod, the message described above reappears, the iPod drive letter may need to be reassigned. See the "Change the Drive Letter" section of this document for steps to assign a different drive letter" which contains a link to this article: Windows confuses iPod with network drive and iTunes may exhibit strange behavior in relation to the iPod.

Problems with Ipod Touch

Problems with iPod Touch.
Hi, I bought an ipod touch in Colombia a couple of months ago but lost the invoice, I tried using it but everytime I connect the iPod to the computer, it restarts over and over again, I've tried all the recommendations show in the Apple support site, but no method has proved the question is, I can take this ipod to a Mac store in the U.S. for repair or change.
I live in Venezuela, there is some Apple store in my country where I can take it.
Thanks in advance for your quick response

You should be able to go to the USA for warrantee service. If you purchased at an Apple store you should be able to go to your account in iTunes and see the purchase. I am confused by your statement:
"I live in Venezuela, there is some Apple store in my country where I can take it."
If you go to the Venezuela apple website you can see if/where there are Apple stores.

Delete music from the cloud with ipod touch

how do I delete songs from the cloud with ipod touch

What do you mean delete from iCloud?
If you only want songs downloaded to the iPod to show on the iPod go to Settings>iTunes and App Store and turn off Show all.

How can I share multiple calendars in iCal with several different people?

I need to share multiple calendars created in iCal with all our staff. Do I enter their individual email addresses separated by a semi-colon or a "plus" sign or how. I tried entering all the email addresses with the semi-colon and when I go back to look at sharing, it just shows one email address.

I am assuming that you are referring to a responsive layout that has divisions that reposition themselves according to the width of the client browser window.
Rather than go into a teaching mode on this forum, let me point you to a nifty free Dreamweaver extension that will help you to achieve this. Have a look here http://www.dmxzone.com/go/21759/dmxzone-bootstrap?utm_source=Blog&utm_medium=link&utm_cont ent=DMXzone+Bootstrap+Released…
