IPod touch and Mac Contacts Don't Match after Sync

I've set iTunes to force an overwrite of my iPod contacts/address book from my MAC. After syncing, the iPod as 49 entries and the iMac has 70+. I've repeated this several times. I'm at a loss as to how to pull in the other addresses. Any ideas? Thanks.

Welcome to the discussions,
did you try to reset the sync history in iSync/settings?

Facetime - iPod Touch and Mac can be done. Why not on iphone?

Here in Brazil we are facing the same problem like other countries. Facetime is not working on iPhone. (Waiting for Activation..)
I was wondering if Apple will enable an option to active iphone`s facetime through Apple ID to solve theses problems. It can be done on Ipod touch and Mac, why not on Iphones?
Does anyone have a clue?

Reboot computer. Open iTunes on computer. Connect iPhone to computer with USB cable. Hold both home and power buttons until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode. This usually takes about 20 seconds of holding both buttons. Click the Restore button of iTunes. If still problem, all iPhone 4S have full Warranty. Make Genius reservation and take to Apple for resolution.

Syning with iTunes is completely separate from iCloud, except that if you have elected to sync calendars and contacts with iCloud you cannot sync them with iTunes.
What iTunes media are you having problems syncing to your iPhone?

I'm running iTunes 10.5 on my Macbook Pro and software 4.1 on my 2g iPod touch and having problems getting photo's to sync. Same error iPod can't be synced req'd file can't be found. Tried deleting the photo cache, restoring the iPod etc but to no avail.

Try here:
iTunes: Unable to sync photos
Usually deleting the iPod Photo Cache Folder works. Note that if you sync via the folder method, make sure you dlete all the ifolders since :
The iPod Photo Cache stores the photos that are optimized for display on your iPod, iPad, or iPhone. The location of this folder depends on the syncing options you select. In iTunes, if you change the selection in the “Sync Photos From” pop-up menu, a new iPod Photo Cache folder will be created (and the previous folder will remain).

- Transfer iTunes purchases to the computer by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
- Transfer non-iTunes purchased music by using a third-party program like one of thos discussed here:
Best iPod to PC
- Then sync the new iPod to the computer.

I have an ipod touch and the contacts icon is missing. How can you add it to the home screen?

I can't find the contacts icon... How can you add this to the home screen

Every iPod touch has a contacts icon. It might be hiding. You can try Settings > General > Reset > Reset Home Screen Layout.

Problems syncing iCal btwn iPod Touch and Mac running Snow Leopard (10.6.8)

Last fall I purchased an iPod Touch 32 GB, now running 6.1.2 iOS. I have an iMac 2007 running Snow Leopard (10.6.8). I was looking forward to being able to sync my many iCal calendars and take it on the road with me, so that I could make appointments and have them then be available to me on my Mac. I have synced using usb cable, and can get contacts, music, apps synced just fine: but the Calendar has been rather choosy about what it will sync. Sometimes it will give transfer to the iPod all the appts on one calendar (for example, Medical, which lists all my medical appts) and sometimes it will only give me some of those, with no apparent pattern as to why some are transferring and some are not. Other calendars never sync at all. In the beginning I was able to make an appt on the iPod and have it transfer to the Mac,but it stopped doing that within the first month of purchase.
I have spoken with Apple Care twice on this topic, and both times the conversation ended with the saying they would have to send this up to someone more knowledgeable, who would assuredly get back to me. I have not received any contact from their supervisors/other departments to work on this. The first Apple Tech Support person thought it was due to the new iOS, and assured me they were working out bugs on that, but further updates have not addressed the issue.
Most folks seem to think the best solution is upgrading to Lion/Mountain Lion and syncing through the Cloud. But I *like* Snow Leopard, and what I've heard/seen about the newer operating systems isn't making me want to jump on that bandwagon unless there's really no other way around it. I've even seen some problems syncing calendars through the Cloud.
Has anyone found a solution for this that allows me to continue to run Snow Leopard?
Many thanks.

Problem fixed. I have 3 wireless mice connected to my Mac Mini through a USB bus, and started to get conflicts, disconnected all of them, re-connected my Apple bluetooth mouse and it all snapped back in to place, also didn't help that earlier, my wife caught the cat walking across my keyboard. That problem solved by closing off the office when I'm not there, and cat expelled from the area.
Everything working as normal.

2G iPod Touch and .Mac Sync - won't do it anymore

Hello!
I bought my new, second-gen iPod touch just after they came out. When it got here, I set it up for syncing contacts, calenders, mail, etc with dotMac (or Mobile Me technically). It did indeed work just fine.
Then, I managed to freeze the iPod up, and it needed a restore. During the restore sync, iTunes copied all the data from the backup over to the iPod, including all the contacts and such - but since then, I cannot sync. Both the iPod and the Mac seem to have the correct Mobile Me settings, and it seems that it shouldn't have a problem. Indeed, the Mac (my MacBook Pro) syncs events just fine to the .Mac servers, such that I can access them online. Yet, calender entries won't sync from my computer to the iPod or vise versa. Yes, the iPod has a internet connection - safari can access the web just fine (as can the App Store, iTunes, etc)
I tried resetting, power cycling, erasing the Mobile Me settings and re-entering them, and even another restore - none of these worked.
What can I do to reset the sync system, and make the iPod sync again?
-Dan

If not abused and defective. Apple will exchange them at no cost. You still have your warranty
Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

2 Ipod Touches and Sme contacts and Calendar

Is it possible to two Ipod touches to the same contacts and calendars>
I work with with a husband and wife that want ipod touches. They need to be able sync contacts and calendars to both Ipods (have the same on both).
Computer: Imac running 10.4.11
I am sure I have not given enough information. Please let me know what you need.
Any help and suggestions appreciated.

Yes they can. I belief if you use MobileMe you can share your calendar. I know you can share calendars with Google Calendar. I do not know about syncing contacts.
Hope that helps.

I have iPod Touch and husband has iPad3. Apple store synced both together and now on iTunes, iPod shows "other" usage way over. I hardly have anything on my iPod (no books, music, etc.). Do we have to unsync?

I have iPod Touch & husband has iPad3. Apple Store synced both together and now on iTunes my capacity shows "other" (yellow line) way over what I really have. Only have 1.75GB apps - no music, videos, etc. I'm afraid since we synced both devices, my iPod has taken on the iPad capacity. Does this make sense to anyone? If I don't get a solution from this website, guess I'll have to go back to the Apple Store and try to straighten this out. HELP!! Thx, Lee

I have downloaded several apps for my iPod touch and I can't get them to sync to the ipod

I have several apps in my iTunes acct and I would like to sync them to my child's iPod touch. On the apps page of my library, it lists them as installed but they will not sync to the iPod.

If they are listed as 'installed' (as opposed to 'will install') then that implies that they are on the iPod. Do they show on the screen mock-ups on that Apps tab on your computer's iTunes, and you've checked the actual homescreens on the iPod ?
And you've tried ejecting the iPod from the computer and doing a soft-reset of the iPod to see if they show after the iPod has restated ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the equivalent of a reboot.

Have sansa mp3, Windows media player on old pc now want to move music(mp3) to ipod touch and Mac itunes can't find a way to do this

I have a Sansa mp3 which I used Windows media player to download music to. Family made the move to Apple. Now need to move mp3 music to itunes on Mac. Can not find way to do this. MP3 device does not show up when connected to Mac by USB. Please help!

In the iTunes folder there should be a folder saying "Import to iTunes". It is either in Music/Itunes or Music/Itunes/Media. Put the music you want on your iPod in this folder, start iTunes, and sync.

I disabled my Ipod touch and dont have the computer I first synced it on. How do I fix it.

The computer I used crash and my ipod was disabled right before that. I have looked up many things and when I tried one and it looked like it was working a error message popped up to say it wouldn't work because my ipod had a passcode on it and I had to put the passcode in before I could continue. Please help me:(

I have an Ipod touch and the screen stop rotating even after double tapping home and sliding left to right

I have restart, restored, and it still didn't fix the problem

If you are still having this problem after restoring to factory settings/new iPod (you did not say what restore you did) that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
