Ipod touch and ical

I'm looking at buying a new ipod and i was separately looking at buying a PDA.
However, the only things i want from a PDA are to be able to make new appointment details in a calendar, sync to ical and to create to-do lists.
Could i do all of this in the ipod touch?
Are there any drawbacks to the ipod touch ical facility as of the last software update?
Anything else i need to know as a new user?

Probably best to go and re-post in the iSync or iCal forums. 
Windows Mobile / Pocket PC. My view is that anything Windows-based is out of the question as you'll need third party software like mark/space or PocketMac Pro. The latter doesn't work in any fashion whatsoever (I did fight with their support for 15mths to give me something for my money but never once got a good sync). I've not tried mark/space but I wasn't prepare to throw more money away.
Mobile Phone. Currently I use a Sony Ericsson mobile phone which could hardly be described as a PDA but it syncs with iCal (multiple read and single write calendars and add, edit and complete To Dos) and add, edit and delete Address Book entries. That is all I need and the iPod touch is approaching this limited level of capability.
Palm. Some Palm devices will work with iSync. I'd guess for a fully featured PDA look at Palm.
iSync compatible devices. Like I say best to ask elsewhere for more informed opinion but the above should give you the basis to ask the right questions.

  • IPod touch and iCal synch problem

    I cannot get information input on my iPod to synch to iCal or my Address Book on my MacBook Pro. And I can't seem to find a setting where I can specify that I want the synch to be two-way. I am connecting to iTunes and the MacBook via the USB connector.

    If the iPod or iPhone is plugged into a low-powered USB hub it may not work correctly.
    These articles have more information:

    The iPhone and iPods do require a highpowered USB port.

    Any suggestion ?

  • IPod Touch to iCal syncing does not work.

    Can anyone please explain me what is wrong over here. As you can read here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1419?viewlocale=en_US all the entries in iPod Touch should nicely transfer to my iCal.
    Go to above link, scroll down and read:
    "Syncing Events
    In Mac OS X, if you are syncing multiple calendars, there is an additional setting in iTunes to specify which calendar is used for new events created on the iPod touch. In the Info pane, see the section labelled: Put new events created on this phone into the calendar: [calendar name].
    When you create a new event on iPod touch and sync it back to the computer, it will appear in this calendar. This only affects new events, events you modify on iPod touch retain the calendar information that they had before."
    How come I do not have this option? All my software is up to date. The only which I've got is regarding to contact, but no "put" button for calendar.

    I'm having the same problem, and I've tried everything I can think of to fix it. Anyone else found a solution?
    I've tried:
    -restarting the iPod
    -restoring the iPod settings
    -repairing permissions on my laptop
    -removing and reinstalling iTunes on my laptop
    Absolutely no change - any calendar items I create on my iPod do not show up in iCal on my laptop. This used to work, before one of the more recent upgrades. Is there any way to downgrade my iTunes or iPod software, perhaps back to a state where this syncing issue will go away?

  • I have an ipod touch and want to purchase an ipad can i use one account

    I have an Ipod touch and want to purchase an ipad.  Can the same account be used.  Can my purchases on my ipod touch be synced to my ipad?

    the only limits you'll face is if any of your iPod touch apps are for the iPhone only, they'll show up as tiny in the middle of the screen. There'll be a 2X button that'll allow you to zoom it up...some look better than others. All depends on how high resolution they are made.
    Other apps will be in the app store with a + by them, those are universal and scale to fit the screen they are displayed on. Other apps you'll need to buy the iPad version. And you'll find some apps that are iPad only.

  • I downloaded iTunes 11.4 so I could set up an iPod Touch, and now it won't open at all. Can someone please tell me how to fix it?

    As mentioned - I was trying to set up an iPod Touch, and it kept telling me "open iTunes," so it dawned on me that I probably needed to update it. So I updated it, and now it just doesn't open (it bounces once, and that's it).
    For added info:
    I have a MacBook Pro with Mac OS X version 10.6.8.
    Technically I keep all my music on an external hard drive, but I don't think anything is corrupted (because it was working fine just before I updated it).
    Thank you.

    Hi, JEvansIII.  
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    Try resetting your System Management Controller or SMC then launch iTunes after processing these steps.  If the issue persists, try downloading a fresh copy of iTunes by accessing the second link below.

  • I have a Ipod touch and recently added new music to my itunes library on my laptop. When I sync with my ipod, the new music does not show up on my ipod even though the sync process seems to be working.

    I have an Ipod touch and recently added new music to my Itunes library. When I sync with the library, the new music does not show up on my ipod. The sync process seems to be working and there is still plenty of space on the Ipod for new music so I'm not sure what the problem is!

    What happens when you try to sync?
    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?

    Do you have any Restrictions (Settings>General>Restrictions) set that would prevent syncing those songs?

  • HT1449 i have bought a new iPod touch and when i went to sync my iTunes library most of the songs didn't come across they get a explanation mark at the side they are whole cds of music. but i didn't have this problem on my old ipod touch when i was using

    I have bought a new ipod touch and when i went to sync my music library on to it only a few songs went over, the ones that didnt had a ! next to them. I had no problem when using my last ipod touch but i was using a pc at the time not a mac though.

    Hi there,
    This usually meas that iTunes can't find the original files. I would recommend taking a look at the article below for some tips on locating that lost media.

  • Since latest update, Sound Check on Ipod touch and Iphone doesn't work.

    My playlists have always played at an even volume before Sunday's software updates to Itunes, Ipod touch, and Iphone.  Now my playlist volumes are all over the map.  I teach a fitness class in a large room to 70 people, and this is ruining it!!  Apple support on the phone told me it should work.  Yes, it did work until the update, and I didn't change anything until I noticed it wasn't working anymore.
    Now I have uninstalled/reinstalled Itunes, restored my Ipod Touch as a new Ipod, and even deleted and reloaded my music.  Still not working!!!

    Just a stab in the dark, but check:
    Settings -> WiFi -> (your WiFi network) -> HTTP Proxy
    Set the Proxy to Auto and see if that helps.
