ICal won't upload to my iPod

I can load everything to my 5th generation iPod except for my calendars. In the preferences pane, all of my calendars show up and I've checked the ones I want to put on the iPod.
Nothing. I've even tried unchecking some of the calendars. Nothing.
This has been going on since I got the iPod about a month ago.
Anyone know how to make this work?
Thanks.

Michael,
Any clue as to how you did this? Can anyone else shed any light??
My 5G iPod transfers music & photos fine, but refuses to sync contacts from Address Book or events from iCal. I click on OK in the iPod Preference pane & nothing happens - not even an error message. I have put both sets of info onto the iPod manually, by doing File > Export .. from within each Application to the appropriate folder on the iPod drive, but to be any use it needs updating regularly & exporting is a drag.
I have tried Resetting the iPod as per the Features Guide section 6; I also tried switching off the .Mac synchro setting for both AB & iCal - all to no effect.
Mystified.

Some of my Movies and video podcasts won't upload to my ipod touch

I've been uploading my dvd collection on to my computer through a handy application called handbreak, the main reason for this was so I could watch it on my ipod touch on its beautiful display, but the problem is that it won't upload because the video says the ipod won't support it. I checked the format, mp4 which works in itunes fine, then I checked the size of each and they were quite big since I set the encoding to normal but It should upload even if it's a little big. Another problem is with my video podcasts, some of their HD content won't transfer over, this majority blows because I don't want to compress every single episode. Why is it not working?, and could their be a solution to this besides compressing each file in quicktime pro?

Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Right click on the video (or select multiple videos and right click) and choose "Convert Selection for iPod/iPhone".

At least on my iMac, it only takes a few seconds.

Downloaded videos won't upload to my iPod

I downloaded Scrubs Seasons 5 and 6, and at first they were all shown on my ipod, but as time went on, the individual shows wouldn't appear on my ipod, only on my computer. How can I get all the shows on my ipod?

First thing you can try is simply right clicking the tracks and picking the "Convert Selection for iPod" choice which might be enough.
However if you find that it goes on the iPod but then has no audio...
QuickTime expects video files with separate video and audio tracks, but many MPEG formats used a muxed (multiplexed) single track that contains both. Therefore, when you convert videos in iTunes to iPod format they only show the video and no sound since iTunes (really QuickTime) is not looking for the audio track within the video track and it gets lost.
iPod plays video but not audio of some exported files

One way to work around this is to use MPEG Streamclip to convert the files to fix this issue...

but there are other applications besides MPEG Streamclip you can try as well.

My audiobooks from itunes won't upload to my ipod 5th generation

Frustrating problem. I've tried everything they say to do online. I like my iPod but APPLE SERVICE *****. They make it too hard to find the answer and don't provide a number to call. Anyone else have this problem. You users are probably better at customer service than Apple.

Nope-never had a single issue with Apple care.

Ipod won't upload

Sorry, I'm a newbie at this. Here's what happened: I uploaded my ipod for the first time - it worked wonderfully. I then started downloading some new music and making playlists and what not. This week I decided to delete a couple of playlists and upload some new music. I then went to upload my ipod and it would not work. The error message I get is "Songs on the iPod cannot be updated because all of the playlists selected for syncing no longer exist". What on earth does that mean? I've tried looking for an area where I can select the playlists but to no avail. What is really frustrating is that I went to the iPod FAQs prior to this to find out if I could delete playlists and the answer was yes that it would be fine.
I've tried everything! The 5 R's - with the exception of the last Restore because iTunes won't even recognize my ipod now. The ipod comes up under Devices but the screen is the iTunes & iPod screen. My iPod is now blank - I can't even listen to the music that was on there in the first place because it's been wiped out!
Can someone please help?!?

This does not work. iTunes recognizes that the iPod is plugged and it appears in the left column under devices but I have no access to it, the Apple iTunes screen is displayed on the right. I can't even get to options under the top toolbar. I'm getting pretty frustrated but can't think of anything else to try, please Help!

I have an iPod Touch and got a new computer; iTunes is installed, but won't sync with my iPod properly.

I am running the new computer under Windows 7, and have tried to sync my iPod. It uploaded the photos and videos from the iPod, but won't upload the apps or music. The iPod is also not downloading the new music on the iTunes. How can I sync what I have on the iPod to the computer, without losing the settings, apps and music already there?

Videos wonät upload into iTunes

I've tried everything, videos just won't upload into iTunes,so I can't get them into my iPod,either! Is there some special trick into doing it?
I've tried dragging it to the Videos,adding it to the Library,dragging it to the Library,adding it to Videos, voodoo,wizadry,curses... everything! It just won't do it. Where's the problem?

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Videos must be compatible with Quicktime to be able to be played in iTunes.
Try opening Quicktime and then open one of the videos you want to add to iTunes in Quicktime. See if it plays in Quicktime?
What is the file type of the videos you are trying to add (MOV, WMV, etc.)?

ITunes5 won't load photo in iPod Photo

I was forced to upgrade to iTunes5 (long AppleCare story) after a complete hard disk reformat. prior to this, I was using iLife04 with iTunes4.9 and iPod Photo30G, and all was working well.
now that I have iTunes5, it won't upload photo to my iPod. It keeps stating that I need iPhoto 4.0.3 or later to upload photo to iPod.. which I have.
I have tried deleting .plist, re-installing iPhoto and re-upgrading to 4.0.3, re-installing iTunes5, numberous reboots. and I even tried reverting to iTunes4.8 (some kind soul had an old installer available), to no avail.
iTunes5 loads music ok (I think). just won't recognize the iPhoto for what it is, to get the conduit to upload photo working.
any help?

one more thing I did.. I also did re-install the latest iPod driver as well.. no help.

Out of the blue flickering and iCal won't quit

We bought our iMac 20" last January 2008 and it has worked perfectly. I have installed all updates. After the last update (and I really don't know if it is just coincidence...) iCal won't quit unless it is forced. All data is gone. It might also have something to do with the last time I synced my iPod...?
More troubling, the screen has started flickering... almost shutting down at points. However, it is not on a regular basis and seemingly out of the blue...?
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Wilrez,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Regarding the iCal issue, if you used Software Update for installing OS X 10.5.7, you may want to try reinstalling the update using the Mac OS X 10.5.7 Combo Update.
Let us know what happens with both problems after the reinstallation.

IOS 5 won't install in my iPod

I have the newest vision of iTunes but iOS5 won't upload.it tells me to click check for updates but it yells me I'm the newest. What do I do so it will install?

You still need to answer steadman's question - which model of iPod Touch have you got? What does the model number on the back of the iPod say?
I have the newest iPod touch does not answer the question.

HI,
Try deleting this file. com.apple.ical.plist
/Users/YourName/Library/Preferences. Drag that file from the Preferences folder to the Trash, empty the Trash and restart your Mac.
See if iCal behaves.

Run the Apple Hardware Test and see if it reports anything.
Not sure about the iPod. One problem at a time.
Check the startup disk just in case.
Insert the installer disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
Go to Installer menu (Panther and earlier) or Utilities menu (Tiger and later) and launch Disk Utility.
Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
Select First Aid in the Main panel.
(Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel. It should say: Verified)
Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
When you are finished with DU, from the Menu Bar, select Utilities/Startup Manager.
Select your start up disk and click Restart

I have an imac 24 , imac 27, mac book pro, airbook and Iphone 3G. I have switched to icloud from mobile and all the computers synch with each other but data entered from my iphone in ical won't sync to the other computers.
Is there a setting on the iphone that will allow ical entries on the iphone to sink to my other computers
Thank-you

Welcome to the Apple community.
First check that all your settings are correct, that calendar syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
Make sure the calendars you are using are in your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud account (you can do this by clicking/tapping the calendar button in the top left corner of the application ), non iCloud calendars will not sync.
If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your calendars are in the iCloud account, you might try unchecking calendar syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling calendar syncing settings.

Some files won't upload; Others will

I'm having problems uploading certain mp3 files to my iPod mini.
In general, the mini seems to be working just fine but there are some files that have been part of my library for several years that won't upload. The same files will open and play properly on iTunes and other software.
These files were originally loaded and currently reside on an external HD as mp3 files. When I do a "GET INFO" they come up as MPEG Movies. If I add the .mps extension to the end of the file name and do a "GET INFO" they come up as mp3 files but still wont load into my iPOD mini.
I can do a "convert to mp3" in iTunes and the newly converted mp3s will work properly (that is they will upload to the mini.) This is a possible solution however, I have in the neighborhood of 2500 albums in mp3 format and it appears that about a third of them fall into the catagory described above. It's taken years to convert my entire music collection and I'd like to avoid having to do it again
Any ideas about what might be going on.
I'm using a G4 MAC with OSX

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
You may need to convert them all. Just highlight the songs and then convert them. (Highlight the affected songs and hold your mouse down over one. The menu should pop up and you can go to convert selection.) It should be a one time thing.

I have moved my music to my new mac air but now it won't sync with my ipod or my iphone 4s

I have transferred mymusic to my new mac air from an acer laptop via an external hard drive and it's all there on the mac but now itunes won't sync with my ipod touch or my iphone 4s.
With the ipod it says 'iTunes could not connect to this iPhone. Could not connect to the device " It also doesn't show up at all in the devices section.
With the iphone it says there isn't enough space to sync even though I have experimented and unticked various things including photos which takes up a lot of space. It seems like it wants to sync with the empty space on the iphone (very small!) and not with the whole thing. I have tried various things suggested on this forum but have had no luck.

My iPod had music on it previously from my old computer but won't sync the new music I bought on my new laptop? The songs I bought appear in the library, but they won't sync onto my iPod?

I'm going on a hike tomorrow with my dad and I'd been reluctant to download iTunes on my new laptop but finally decided to install it so I could have new music for the trip. I bought nearly ninety new songs, all of which appeared in my library, and on my account they are shown with my old songs. But my iPod isn't syncing the new music? Really I planned to start from scratch and not have them together, but that would be fine if they would just download. I don't understand. They're in my library, but won't download to my iPod.
