IPOD Touch does not sync with Address Book

Hello,
I recently purchased a 16GB iPOD Touch. I synced with itunes on my Mac successfully (10.5.1), however i am unable to get my Address Book to sync with the iPOD
Any ideas - i have enabled iTunes/iPOD to sync with my Address Book when i connect my iPOD, but no joy.
Ideas?
Thanks

I can no longer sync my iPod Touch with my Address Book. I'm not sure if this started after I updated iTunes (now at 7.6.2), but the two no longer sync. I tried clicking the advanced option (Info tab in iTunes) to copy over all contacts to my iPod, but nothing changed. I tried the advice to check only a few groups, and it did remove the other groups. So I tried reducing the # of groups I was using.... Then when I checked sync all contacts again, all the old groups showed up again on my iPod, that no longer existed in my Address Book. Strange! Also frustrating and time-consuming.
I don't think this question is "answered" yet. Has anyone found a solution? How do you notify Apple of this type of problem?

    My Ipod touch does not sync with my Windows 8.1 I cloud calendar?  it syncs from windows computer to itouch but not vice versa

    Make sure you are entering the events on your iPod in the iCloud calendar and not something else such as On My iPod.  Check Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Calendar (in the Calendars section) to be sure you have selected an iCloud calendar as your default.

  • IPod touch does not sync with tiger osx

    My 2nd generation iPod touch is currently on 4.2, it won't sync with my iTunes because I'm running on Tiger OSX. I cannot afford to buy a new mac (yet) just for me to sync my iPod.
    What can I do?

  • IPhone does not sync with Address Book

    When syncing my iPhone, Address Book and Contacts do not sync.
    Called applecare, they were totally unhelpful!
    I now have changed Address Book entries on my Mac, as well as independently changed and added other contacts on the iPhone, so I am afraid to blow away one or the other libraries and lose one of these sets of changes. At least that's what I think is being recommended in the other thread that comes up on this topic: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1413283?start=0&tstart=0
    Using iPhone 3GS with recent MacBook Pro (10.6.8). All software updated, etc.
    Thanks for any help.

    Thanks for the tip.
    I reset the sync history as you suggested.
    When syncing again, contacts are tranferred from Mac to iPhone (or so it says). Once.
    But contacts created on the phone have not been transferred in the other direction.
    And when I create a test contact on my mac and sync again, it does not transfer.
    Any thoughts?

  • My ipod touch does not sync with itunes 10.5

    i also dont know what an o.s is or how to find it
    <please help
                 sincerly confused

    Same here, iTunes otherwise works just fine. Plug in iPod Touch (32GB from fall of last year, iOS v4.3.5), iTunes locks up and eventually crashes. iPod never chimes in that it's connected and charging and shows up in device list in iTunes, but never enters sync mode.
    PowerBook G4, Mac OS 10.5.8 with 2GB of RAM. Tryed re-installing iTunes 10.5, restarting, rebuilding permissions, nothing worked. Worked just fine last week. Also links up just fine with a Windoze 7 laptop running iTunes 10.5 (but it's not one that I sync with.).
    Bummer, I was really looking forward to iOS 5, but now will have no way to install it untill Apple fixes 10.5.

  • Ipod touch does not sync with itunes

    I have added some music from a different computer's itunes, and though these new songs are in my ipod now, they don't show up in my own itunes. Plus: after i did that, I can't synchronize anything new.

    - You can only sync with on iTunes library/computer. However, yo can manually manage/copy music from different computers/libraries to your iPod. Go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Sync your iPod....>Sync You Device>Set up Syncing>Sync your device manually and follow the instructions.
    - See the following for how to change syncing computers. That includes getting the media from the iPod to the computer.

  • Palm contacts do not sync with address book

    Contact data from my Palm Tungsten does not sync with Address Book. I am running the latest Palm OS and Desktop with iSync 1.5 and Panther OS 10.3.9. Calendar is syncing correctly. According to the log, iSync thinks that the Address Book is also working but no data gets transferred in either directon. Any suggestions? Thanks.

    Hi,
    i also used iSync for a long time with my Tungsten. BUT(!) iSync is very poor! I learned to know MissingSync and this is a really cool App! Now i have categories in my calender after syncing with my Titanium, i have all adresses and there are a lot of more cool features. Look here:

    What happens when you try?
    Does anything 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?

  • IPod Touch does not sync any info

    hey there, my problem is that my iPod Touch does not sync anything from the "info"-section shown in iTunes, neither Contacts nor Calendar nor Mail Accounts...
    In contrast it's no problem with my iPod nano (1. gen).
    i hope that someone can help me. thank you and excuse my shabby English. _
    everytime i try to sync Contacts and so on, i get a message saying "iTunes cannot sync 'Contacts' to the iPod, because the Sync-Server can't sync the iPod" (i tried to translate the originally German message...)

    Im having this problem as well and it really defeats the purpose of having a calendar on here if it won't work. Mine seems to only want to try to sync one of my 6 calendars I want to carry with me, but even then that one calendar doesn't update all events. It's very selective/random.
    I also find that the odd photo album is randomly ignored. But the iCal sync is important for me. Why Apple just doesn't allow a direct link from iCal allowing multiple calendars is beyond me. If the iPod Touch is running a copy of OS X anyway, why not just make the Calendar app basically identical to iCal? And make it work!

  • Ipod Touch will not sync with home iMac but can with other macs

    My daughters iPod Touch will not sync with her iMac anymore.
    It will with my MacBook Pro but not with her iMac.
    We are both running Snow Leopard.
    Is there a toggle or setting that needs to be changed.
    I've looked but no joy.
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    If iTunes is not seeing the iPod then try:

    Why won't it sync? Are you getting any sort of error message during the sync process?  If so what is the exact wording of that error message?  If this the computer you normally sync the iPod with?

  • HT4623 My ipod touch will not sync with my computer and computer says that it is due to an impropper response from ipod.

    my ipod touch will not sync with my computer and the computer says that it is due to an impropper response from ipod , what do I do?

    Check USB connections
    If there’s an issue with the USB port, cable, dock, or hub, or if the device becomes disconnected during restore, try troubleshooting the USB connection, then troubleshooting your security software.
    Common errors: 13, 14, 1600-1629, 1643-1650, 2000-2009, 4000, 4005, 4013, 4014, 4016, “invalid response”, and being prompted to restore again after a restore completes.
    To narrow down the issue, you can also change up your hardware:
    Use another USB cable.
    Plug your cable into a different USB port on your computer.
    Try a different dock connector (or no dock).
    Add (or remove) a USB hub between your device and computer.
    Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, with no routers, hubs, or switches.
    If you see your error after changing your USB connections, continue to the next section to troubleshoot your hardware.

  • ICloud not syncing with Address Book on Mac

    I've updated my Address Book and now it won't sync to iCloud, which means my contacts are no longer on my iphone either. Why won't iCloud sync with the address book on my computer?

    Wanted to post an update for those of you who use Entourage for contacts, have iCloud, and like to sync with your iPhone. 
    I have Entourage set to update to the Address Book (Entourage Preferences - Sync Services - Sync to Address Book - Combine Data) and after fixing the original problem noted above, I later decided to have my iphone backed up and synced through iCloud. 
    Well - iCloud and Entourage don't play nice together - so none of my contacts were updating either direction and I had duplicates in Address Book again.  Apple did not have answers for me when I called, so I spent the day trying to fix it and came up with the following and figured I'd pay it forward and post for anyone else with the same issue.
    The only option at this time is to sync your Contacts with iTunes instead.  Even though Entourage used to update wirelessly with MobileMe - it does not work with iCloud due to different CalDav systems.  You can still do iPhone backups and sync your calendars and photos over iCloud (which I am still doing), but Contacts just won't work. 
    Steps:
    1. Backup your good list of contacts somewhere (I ensured everything on Entourage was right and did an archive)
    2. To be extra safe, be sure you have a good phone back up too (either over iCloud or iTunes)
    3. Uncheck sync to Address Book in Entourage
    4. Delete everything in Address Book and uncheck sync/account to iCloud 
    5. Go into System Preferences - iCloud, and uncheck sync Contacts.  When it asks you if you want to delete what's on your mac - you can say yes - it will not delete anything in Entourage.  By now all your contacts in Address Book, iCloud and on your phone should be gone (it's scary I know)
    6. Go to your phone settings - iCloud and turn off Contacts there too
    7. Entourage - Preferences - Sync Services - turn on syncing with Address Book/Mobile Me (I chose to Combine data assuming this would allow data to travel both directions in the future).  It should populate address book in just a minute or two
    8. Plug your phone into your computer and open iTunes
    9. Check "Sync Contacts" and hit Apply.  I'd suggest syncing it right there with your phone plugged in. 
    After that, you can either sync each time you plug in and open iTunes, or you can sync over your own wifi network when your phone is plugged in.  It will not sync over any wifi like it used to do with MobileMe - so still far from an optimum solution, but hopefully Apple and/or Entourage will fix this soon.  The only other solution I could think of was to switch to Mail & Contacts since I like to use them both in same place, but I really didn't want to do that (mail isn't that great and I didn't want to take the time to make the switch).
    If anyone has anything better to suggest, please let us know!!! 

  • Ipod Touch will not sync with Itunes 12.1.1.4 64 bit

    I have recently updated itunes and on the back of doing so my Ipod touch will not sync my library. The Ipod itself is a couple of years old but using iOS 6.1.6.
    I have deleted and re-installed Itunes. I have wiped my Ipod to start again. I have set it to sync over Wi-fi and nothing has worked. I physically plug the Ipod in and it gets detected. If I change a setting and click apply it briefly says syncing and then nothing.
    I have set automatically download Itunes songs etc etc etc and absolutely nothing seems to get it to sync!
    Help!

    You said " If I change a setting and click apply it briefly says syncing and then nothing.".
    How many steps are completed? What is listed in the status bar of iTunes when it stops?
