IPod doesn't replicate info in Contacts

Some of my Contacts are listed by company, others by name.
When I sync them to iPod (classic), those listed by company have been switched so they appear by name.
Very awkward, and who remembers the person you spoke to at Mac Connection (though you might want to know his/her name).
Does anyone know if the new iPod Touch replicates what's in Contacts?
Thanks,
Brent

Ok, so its been a while since I posted anything on here. That's pretty much been because I've been too busy and didn't have time to do anything to sort out my problems with my ipod.
I did as suggested and ran full system scans for viruses, adware and spyware. There was nothing major wrong with my PC. I also tried to format my ipod through the disk management part of the device manager window, after taking a long time to recognise the ipod and try to format it (8 hours) it got to around 70% before failing. So I though I was doomed to bin the ipod.
However I tried again today, to connect to my PC and the ipod had run out of charge completely and displayed pretty much every unhappy icon possible: the sad ipod, the folder and exclamation, and the dead battery. So I plugged the ipod in for a few hours while I went out, and when I came back it was fully charged. From here I had no problem putting the ipod into disk mode and connecting to the PC. This time I could access the ipod as normal through the my computer window and simply told it to do a full format. This completed in less than half an hour, restored the ipod to factory setting and am currently waiting for itunes to put around 3,000 songs onto the ipod.
I have no explaination for why the problem has been solved save to say that running the battery down completely may have done the trick. Sorry this has been such a long post but I am very happy right now (saving £200 on a new ipod). I never even had to reinstall the itunes from my original CD version.
Lastly, a big thank you to all the people who offered their advice.

  • My iPod doesn't let me create contacts

    All my contacts don't exist any more and i can't sync with iCloud or create new contact. Even after restoring it gives me the same problem . Help me please!!

    Have you tried:
    - Delete the iCloud account from the iPod. Go to Settings>iCloud and scroll to the bottom of the page and tap the Delete button. The account is not deleted from iCloud, just from the iPod
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost      
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Sign back into iCloud 0n the iPod Settings>iCloud

  • Synching contacts from computer to iPod doesn't work with Contacts

    Do not understand why Contacts (on iPod) doesn't get Entourage Address Book from Mac computer.

    Restore from a backup at which point Skype was on the iPod. Apps are not part of the backup, but all of your apps should still be restored from iTunes.

  • Since itunes 2.0.4 has been downloaded. My ipod doesn't synchronize properly/ at all.The LED screen shows  "copy 1 or 2 from 101" and it will remain like that. It looks like sync but there's nothing to happen. It doesn't stop by it self. How to solve?

    Since itunes 2.0.4 has been downloaded my ipod doesn't synchronize properly/ at all. The LED screen shows çopying 1 or 2 from 101' and itt will remain like that.
    It looks like sync but nothing is happening. The sync doesn't stop by itself. Is there anybody to solve this problem? In previous versions never a problem.

    I have exactly the same issues with my new 80G iPOD. I have found that when connecting to my PC, the iPOD does not start iTUNES 7. This can be resolved by stopping the iPOD Service in Computer Management, connecting the iPOD and then starting it again. Then when you start iTUNES it finds the iPOD. - http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93716
    Seems like a stupid long-winded way to do things, but at least you can get some stuff on to your iPOD.
    As far as using Restore goes - I just get the restoring iPOD message you described, which it blatantly isn't :((

  • IPod Doesn't Show Up in iTunes or My Computer, But Says It's Connected

    I'm running Windows Vista (something I highly regret ever getting), and I was given a new iPod by a friend, and since it was a different iPod than I used before, Vista kept popping a window up when I connected it asking if I wanted to download a driver. It had three options, I think, to browse for the driver, look later, or never ask again. Normally I would click the first two, and the iPod would show up in iTunes still (and the iPod doesn't even need a driver). The last time, I accidentally clicked for it to not ask again, and now the iPod doesn't show up in either My Computer or iTunes.
    I really, REALLY hate this computer. Vista has caused nothing but problems, I tell ya. It's always one thing after another.

    Well start with these articles and see if that gets you anywhere...

  • IPod's "Last Played" info is not updated

    I've purchased a new iPod (5th gen, 60 gb) 6 months ago.
    Recently, all the tracks' "Last Played" info stopped updating. No matter what track I play on my iPod, the "Last Played" info is not updated on the iPod. Even when I go to the iPod tab on iTunes, the "Last Played" info is wrong, and actually not updated. By the way, the playcount also doesn't seem to be updated.
    So, how do I get this fixed and the "Last Played" thing working again? By the way, of course, when I play tracks on the iTunes through the pc the "Last Played" info is updated.
    And another detail: Does the fact I have purchased games for my iPod and synced them can cause this problem?
    Thanks.

    Yes, I update my iPod automatically.
    I have no idea why, but I connected it again a few minutes ago, and the problem is solved. Suddenly, the songs last played date updated everything I've played.
    So, you didn't actually solve my problem, but since I feel kind today, i will give you point (s).

  • 30G iPod doesn't play audio in movies or videos

    My 30G iPod doesn't play audio in movies or videos... Can anybody help me?
    Thanks!

    What is the source of the videos and movies? Downloaded from the iTunes store or did you convert them from other sources? If the latter...
    QuickTime expects video files with separate video and audio tracks, but many MPEG formats used a muxed (multiplexed) single track that contains both. Therefore, iTunes & the iPod (both of which use QuickTime) only show the video and no sound.
    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...

  • ITunes / iPod won't see Calendar or Contacts files

    I have a 60 gb video iPod which has worked wonderfully until the previous update of iTunes to 7.0.1. Sometime during my use of that version (perhaps at installation) iTunes stopped updating contacts and calendar files. Now in the settings panels of version 7.0.2 of iTunes it shows no calendar or contact files. I was able to check with another (80 gb video) iPod, whose settings did show my contact and calendar files as options for syncing.
    Frequently when I click on the "Contacts" tab of the iPod settings the application will hang.
    I have performed the various "R"s, to no avail. I have thrown out and recreated the iPod .plist preference files, but still to no avail.
    Thoughts? I suspect some corrupt, invisible, setting file pointing to my specific iPod is on my iMac creating this havoc, but I wouldn't know where to look.
    Help?

    Hi Jennifer,
    I never received any info on this. Have you found a fix for the problem?
    Thanks!

  • My ipod doesn´t charge the battery with ios6, what should i do?

    I have updated the system to ios 6, but after that change I have noted that my ipod doesn´t charge the battety, I have checked the cable with other ipod (ios5) and it´s working, also when I connect it to my computer, it can´t be detected, what should i do? I can´t find how to solve it.. please help me

    See the not-charging topic of:

    Look at the dock connector on the iPod. Look for abnormalities like bent or corroded contacts, foreign material and cracked or broken plastic.

  • I have an iphone and my daughter has an ipod.  She has all my contacts showing up on her ipod.  I deleted them and now they are gone from both.  is there any way of retreiving this deleted information.

    I have an iphone and my daughter has an ipod.  She has all my contacts showing up on her ipod.  I deleted them and now they are gone from both.  is there any way of retreiving this deleted information.

    When you share an iCloud account, any data you sync with the account is merged, and any actions you take on one device (such as deleteing contacts) is synced to all other devices sharing the account.  To avoid this, each person's device(s) should have a separate iCloud account with a separate ID.  (You can continue to share your iTunes account; it does not need to have the same ID as the one used for iCloud.)
    To create separate icloud accounts, decide which iPhone will be keeping the current iCloud account.  On the one that will be changing accounts, go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account.  (This will only delete the account from this phone, not from iCloud.  The phone that will be keeping the account will not be effected by this.)  When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data, be sure to select Keep On My iPhone.  Next, set up a new iCloud account using a different Apple ID (if you don't have one, tap Get a Free Apple ID at the bottom).  Then turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On, and when prompted about merging with iCloud, choose Merge.  This will upload the data to the new account.
    Finally, to un-merge the data you will then have to go to icloud.com on your computer and sign into each iCloud account separately and manually delete the data you don't want (such as deleting the other person's contacts from your account, and vice versa).
    As for recovering the deleted contacts, you can try restoring her phone from her most recent backup.  This may recover the contacts, however it often doesn't.  Restoring to an iCloud backup has to be done in the initial setup process.  If she have any data on your phone now that is not in the backup that she wants to save she will need to do that first.  Then go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings.  You will then go through the setup screens as you did when the phone was new. When given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup.  Be sure you are connected to wifi and your charger as this will take some time to finish.

    Another charging source? Does iTunes see the iPod when you connect to your computer?

  • He Genres on the iPod doesn't reflect the same as that of my iTunes.

    he Genres on the iPod doesn't reflect the same as that of my iTunes. It shows unknown as a genre. Issue started when upgraded to the recent os. Tried clearing the tag info and putting them back in but no cigars... fix?

    It sounds as though the hold switch on the top of the iPod has been moved to the "hold" position (which will display the small lock icon). Sliding it to the left should unlock your iPod.
    The hold switch is meant to disable all functions so accidentally pressing one of the controls will not do anything (prevents accidentally turning on the iPod, for instance).

  • Apple logo comes up but ipod doesn't start

    When I turn on the device the Apple logo comes up but the ipod doesn't start and go to the menus it just stays with the logo. When I hold down the play/pause on the click wheel to put it to sleep a symbol of a triangle with an exclamation point in the center comes up along with "www.apple.com/support/ipod." I tried rebooting it with Menu/select but nothing happens.

    Unfortunately, on a "classic" iPod that uses a hard drive for storage, the most likely cause is a faulty hard drive.
    You can try putting the iPod into Disk Mode
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1363
    If that works, connect it to the computer and run iTunes.  iTunes may prompt you to do a Restore.  This will erase the iPod, re-install its software, and set it to default settings.  If the cause is data corruption or a software issue (and the hard drive has no physical problem), the Restore should fix it.
