ICloud, MobileMe and iPod Touch 1G

My wife (iPad 2 and now iPhone 4S) and daughter (iPod Touch 4G) couldn't wait to get their hand on iOS 5 and iCloud.  So far they are very satisfied with all the changes.
Me, I'm still using one of our 1G iPod Touch units.  The battery is fine and it does what I need - music and MobileMe email.
When iClound was released I jumped first and converted my MobileMe account and didn't do all my homework.  I still get all my email, but I haven't figured out how to get my iCal and Contacts information to sync.  Can anyone point me to some help in configuring my Mac and iPod?
Thanks,
Bob

Thanks for the feedback.  Since my original post I've retreated all the way back to using iTunes to sync both my Contacts and iCal.  I managed at one point to get all my contacts off my Mac and onto iCloud only and found no easy way to recover accept to retrieve them from an earlier Time Machine backup.
If it wasn't for the fact that my employer found necessary to get my connected 24x7 via a BB, I would have an iPhone 4/4s now and enjoying all the new 'Toys'.

  • Can I get icloud on my ipod touch 4.3.5 and sync my music to my new iphone 4s?

    can I get icloud on my ipod touch 4.3.5 and sync my music to my new iphone 4s

    If you a 3G or 4G iPod then you can install iOS 5. iOS 5 is required for the iPod to use iCloud.

  • HT1766 icloud and ipod touch syncing

    Hi I am using icloud from my ipod touch for the 1st time. I am receiving a prompt: "iTunes will not back up automatically if you are using iCloud." Does this mean that I will no longer be able to manually sync my ipod touch with my mac book anymore? Thanx

    That means when you sync with iTunes on a computer, the iPod will not be automatically be backed up to the iPod. If you want to backup to the computer then you have to manually backup by going to iTunes>File>Devices>Backup

  • 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:
    Backup your computer Addressbook: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=AddressBook/4.0/en/ad961.html
    Backup your computer iCal: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2966

    You could use iCloud, or you could sync them through iTunes on a Mac or a Windows computer.

  • I am planning a long vacation and taking my laptop but it is my home computer that my new ipad and ipod touch are synced too. I know i can backup to the cloud over wifi but how can i do things like delete photo albums

    I am planning a long vacation and taking my laptop but it is my home computer that my new ipad and ipod touch are synced too. I know i can backup to the cloud over wifi but how can i do things like delete photo albums instead of having to manually delete pictures one by one on the Ipad. Is there any way also to add my pictures to the ipad other than through email. i am assuming that i can't just install itunes on the laptop and sync to that. I have been told that i always have to sync to my original synced home computer for that.

    The links below have instructions for deleting photos.

    Hello Riechel78
    You can activate your Apple ID by going to applied.apple.com. Just log in to the ID you have created and send the verification email. You can do this from a computer and your iPod Touch.

  • Can you transfer hd video directly from an ipod and then EDIT that video in imovie? I will be on the road and wont have a mac, just an ipad 2 and ipod touch. I want to shoot video on the touch and edit it on the ipad. Thanks!

    Thanks Tgara.
    Its funny. So far the responses have been 50/50 on this question. I even asked two seperate Apple Store employees here in NYC, and got two different answers! One said yes, the other no.
    Argh!
    I know from watching the keynote speech about icloud and iOS 5 that you will be able to cut the cord between the pc and ios devices like the ipad. No more need to sync them via a cord. So will that mean i would then be able to load video directly to the ipad via tha cam kit connector from my ipod? Also i wonder if/when Apple will allow HD video from on Apple devices like a canon dslr to be able to transfer to the ipad via the cam kit connector AND be able to EDIT that footage in imovie for the ipad. Speaking of imovie for the ipad...i hope it gets an update soon as well.
    Anyway....with the macbook airs getting updated next week with thunderbolt and new sandy bridge chips....i may just get one of them instead of the ipad 2 for editing video on the road. Still...i prefer surfing the web experience on the ipad. Grrrrrrr. **** youuuuuuu Apple!!! Lol

  • IPhone 5s and iPod touch 5 quit automatically backing up

    My iPhone 5s and iPod touch 5 have stopped automatically backing when I plug them in to charge while they are on wifi. My iPad 3 is still backing up correctly. I'm not sure, but this problem could have started with the update to iOS 8.3.
    I tried logging out of iCloud on the iPhone and logging back in, but that didn't help. I have searched here and other places on the web, but haven't found a solution.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    A number of conditions need to be in place for this to happen. Besides being plugged in and on wi-fi, your screen needs to be locked, so be sure this is taking place. If your iPad is continuing to back up, that indicates that you have enough free space in your iCloud account, so that's probably not the issue. I would check to make sure that your screen is locking after a set time.

  • How can i get iCloud on my iPod touch 3?

    i own an iPod Touch 3 iOS 4.3 and am curious if i can get the iCloud on my iPod. i do not have an iPhone or iPad. is there still a way i can get iCloud on my iPod Touch? and if so, how can i do that? Is there a download link? do i need iOS 5 to get iCloud?
    i also want to buy an iPhone 5, any idea when it will be for sale? and do i have to wait til i get the iPhone 5 to get iCloud? Help is appreciated.

    Presently iCloud beta is available in the USA only.  it is limited to redownloading music and some other things and requires iTunes 10.4 on the computer and iOS 4.3.3 on an iDevice..  See:

  • Not receiving messages from Skype on my ipad and iPod touch 5gen

    IPod touch 5 gen 32 gig black IOS 7.0.2
    Ipad 3rd gen, 32 gig white IOS 7.0.2
    I am not receiving messages on my ipad and iPod touch from Skype, it won't come thru,  I've tried reboot and hard reset, but nothing works, I reinstalled Skype, and nothing works.

    I had this same problem also.  The problem has to do with your credit card number associated with you iCloud account.  To solve this problem, you need to update your credit card/payment information by doing the following on your iPad / iPhone / iTouch:
         Settings > iCloud > click on your account > Payment Information
    Update this section with your correct credit card information and Save.

  • HT3529 I have and iPod Touch, and my sister has an iPod touch. Both use the same Apple ID. If I use iMessage, can my sister see my messages?

    I have and iPod Touch, and my sister has an iPod touch. Both use the same Apple ID. If I use iMessage, can my sister see my messages?

    Yes.
    I recommend that you
    Create a NEW account/ID using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before.
      Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card
    Use the new ID  but only for:
    Settings>Messages>Send and Receive
    Settings>FaceTime
    Settings>GameCenter
    and Settings>iCloud if you want to have separate Contacts Calendar and some other things.    
    Continue to use the same/common Apple ID for Settings>iTunes and App stores so you can share purchases.

  • TS4062 I'm stuck on "waiting for items to copy" when I try to sync my laptop and iPod touch. What can I do about this?

    I'm stuck on "waiting for items to copy" when I try to sync my laptop and iPod touch. It was fine until the latest update. It's very frustrating. What can I do about this?

    Hi maasailand giraffe,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    First of all, thanks for the detailed notes of the troubleshooting steps you've already tried.  It's hard to pinpoint exactly what is going on in your specific case, but I do have a few more ideas for you to try.
    Starting with just one of your iPads, when you get stuck on the "waiting for items to copy" step, just disconnect your iPhone.  There are probably some orphaned or corrupt files that need to be addressed.  I would suggest closing all of your open apps and then backing your iPad up to iCloud.  Then review the articles below to move or delete any big files on your device.  These can include Voice Memos (iPhone), music, photos on your camera roll, photos or videos that are attached to your Messages, email attachments, etc.

  • TS3276 An email sent from my iMac has a button linked to a clip hosted on Vimeo. When received, the link functions on iMac and iPad, but opens a window of app icons on iPhone and iPod touch. Any ideas what's wrong?

    For anyone else reading this thread, it is worth knowing that sometimes an email is, or can be, corrupted thereby jamming the works. The solution above is good, but I just wanted to suggest another one.
    If the problem arises, go to an online mail access service, such as Mail2Web.com and login to you mail account there and delete the offending message.
    Problem solved.
    And George, as this is all entirely voluntary, whinging about no takers may not endear people to you. Besides which, a few minutes of searching on Google would have found you a number of solutions.
