IPod touch and mail syncing

I thought I saw a video on Apple's site showing that you could organize mail on the touch and it would show those changes on your computer. For example, if I delete a message on the touch, it will be deleted on my computer. Is this possible? It seems kind of redundant to have to go through the same messages twice. Thanks for any help with this issue.

You can try this to see. Plug your iPod touch in the computer. When iTunes pops up and you're on the iPod preference screen, click info. Scroll down to the Mail section and check to sync your e-mail. After that's done, go to the Mail app on your iPod touch. It should display the inbox. There is a button on the upper left that says Mailbox. You're folders should be synced (not sure about Smart Folders, but I think it should).

My daughter has a new ipod touch and when synced it had all of my iphone contacts. she deleted the ones she didn't want and they were removed from my phone as well. How can I get them back if they were deleted from the cloud? I also had them on my pc

My daughter bought a new ipod touch and when synced received the contacts from my iphone. She deleted the ones she didn't want on her ipod and now they are gone from my iphone. I have the cloud and i thought back up on itunes. I have tried to re-sync and no luck. How can I get my contacts back?

Your problem is that she used your icloud ID to connect to icloud and thus had all your data synced to her device. Contacts are not saved in a backup to icloud, since they are stored independently in the Contacts section of icloud. If someone deletes them, they are gone. If you had them on the PC would they be available in some backup you frequently make of the PC?

I had my ipod touch and iphone synced to itunes on my computer that just bit the dust...If I don't replace the computer, can I still add stuff to these two devices?

I had my ipod touch and iphone synced to itunes on my PC and basically managed my photos and music, etc. from there. However recently my computer died and I am considering replacing it with an ipad eventually. Can I still add stuff onto my two devices? And if so, am I limited to apple store purchases only? Can I retain all the photos and non-apple store downloaded music that is presently on these two devices? Any guidance in this area will be very welcome!

Morning @mb,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information on this, take a look at this article:
iTunes: Transferring media from your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or iPod
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1209
Music imported from a CD or another source
iTunes cannot transfer this media back to a computer. Make sure to back up your iTunes Library, or you can use iTunes Match2.
Best of luck,

IPod Touch and iPhone - Syncing both on the same computer

Is there any reason I would have a problem syncing both my ipod touch and a new iphone on the same computer? I want to have all of my music on both. My iphone arrives today and wanted to avoid any major issues.
Thanks -

Normally I would recommend this...
Plug in the iPod, uncheck the box to show artwork on the iPod then sync the iPod (all artwork will be removed from the iPod).
When it is done, reselect that check box and sync the iPod again (all artwork added to iPod).
This often times clears up display issue with artwork on the iPod.
However, I don't think you get the show artwork option for the iPhone, correct?
Cheers,
Patrick

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?

Ipod touch and itunes sync

ok...I now have a Mac Pro Notebook. I want to get allllllll of my songs into my itunes library. However, it will only sync the songs "purchased" on my ipod. How do I get them all from my ipod touch without having to download to a jump drive from my old computer then dropping into my new Mac?

The following post will provide you with some options:

I have an iPod touch and iPhone synced with iTunes, however when I connect my iPhone it always downloads the apps from the iPod to the iPhone which I don't want to happen. This is a recent thing and I need to know how to stop this.

Can anyone help with the problem above?

With your phone connected, under the Apps tab, remove the check in the box labeled "Automatically Sync New Apps".

Outlook Contacts "invalid entryid" error after edit on iPod Touch and sync

There are a few threads about this in the iPhone discussion, but so far nothing on the iPod Touch side and I'm encountering it in both Outlook 2003 and Outlook 2007 after testing on two different computers.
Issue:
1. Create or edit a contact on the iPod Touch
2. Sync with Outlook Contacts
3. You are no longer able to access the added or edited contact's e-mail address when composing e-mail. If you select the contact's properties from the e-mail interface, you receive an error message that an "invalid entryid was passed."
My discovery:
Deleting data from the "Display as" field in the Contact will fix the problem.
1. In the Contacts folder, open the contact with the problem.
2. Delete all data from the "Display as" field (displays with Email field).
3. Select any other field on the Contact form - "Display as" will automatically re-populate
4. Save the contact. Problem solved.
Not sure how iTunes sync is corrupting this, but thought I'd share the discovery since suggestions in the iPhone discussion involve exporting, deleting, and importing affected contacts.

Quick fix method for those who really can't be bothered with any manual methods. Below is a macro for Outlook that will, starting with the currently selected contact folder and including subfolders (mobileme groups), reset all email display names which effectively fixes the EntryID issue. There's no error checking, it's pretty raw but does the job. Hope it helps.
<STARTMACROCODE>
Option Explicit
Sub FixEntryIDs()
Call FixEntryID
End Sub
Sub FixEntryID(Optional ByVal contacts As folder)
Dim item As ContactItem
Dim subf As folder
Dim changed As Boolean
If IsMissing(contacts) Or contacts Is Nothing Then
Set contacts = ActiveExplorer.CurrentFolder
End If
For Each item In contacts.Items
changed = False
If Len(item.Email1DisplayName) Then
changed = True
item.Email1DisplayName = ""
End If
If Len(item.Email2DisplayName) Then

Outlook 2010 Syncing With iPod Touch and iPad

I have a PC with Outlook 2003 that sync’s with iPod Touch and iPad. I plan to buy a new PC with Windows 7 and Outlook 2010. Comcast tells me they don’t support Outlook (They support Outlook Express) but Outlook 2003 currently works fine on my PC with Windows XP. I have the following questions:
- . Is there an alternative to Outlook 2010 that will sync with my iPod Touch and iPad?
- Will Outlook Express sync with my iPod Touch and iPad and is Outlook Express still available?
- What is Microsoft Exchange?
Thanks for your help. LCP

Just look at page 26 of the new US) users guide. It specifically says that the iPad syncs with Outlook 2010 (as well as 2003 and 2007). However, Comcast's mail help page only lists OL 2000, 2002, 2003 and 2007.

You should really read the manual.
"How do you restore from backup? "
Restore. When given the choice, choose to use backup.
"And how can I check to see if the pics and videos are on my computer somewhere first??"
They would only be where you put them. What program did you use to import them? Pics/vids taken with ipod are not part of the sync process at all. You should be importing them just as you would with any digital camera.
If you did not import them, then they are not on your computer.

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?

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.

My Reminders app will not open. When I try to open it, quits and gives me an error message: "Reminders quit unexpectedly while using the CalDAV plug-in." My Reminders is synced with my iPod touch, and it is fine on that. How do I fix it?

Also, the Calendar is loading very very slowly, and sometimes it quits and gives me the same error message as above.

The problem has been fixed with the most recent OS X software update.

I have itunes set up to sync with my Ipod Touch and my Ipad. As of today, it keeps looking for an iPhone to sync with and give me an error message. I don't have an iPhone and don't know how to stop it from popping open with this error message.

I have Itunes set up to sync with my Ipod touch and Ipad. As of today, iTunes has started searching to sync with an iPhone, which I don't have and pops open with an error message stating it cannot locate the iPhone to sync. I have looked in devices and only the iPad and iPod Touch are listed. Any ideas on how to stop iTunes from searching for any iPhone it is never going to find? It is annoying to have it popping up all the time with the error message. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
