IPod Touch iOS 4.2.1, Mac OS 10.6.8. ICal will not sync after a restore of iPod Touch. What's up?

iPod Touch (iOS 4.2.1) second generation; Mac (OS 10.6.8). After a restore, the iCal no longer syncs, Contacts do not sync, etc. What gives?

Greetings,
Sounds like something is wrong with the sync history.
Troubleshooting:
1.) Backup all your data:
Backup your iPhone: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
Backup your computer Addressbook: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=AddressBook/4.0/en/ad961.html
Backup your computer iCal: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2966
Backup your calendars on MobileMe.
Follow http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4226
Go to "backing up data" and then "Backing up from me.com/calendar"
2.) Reset the computer's sync services and then restart the computer: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1627
3.) Plug in the iPhone and attempt a sync.
If that does not resolve the issue, where is the information "good", on the iPod Touch or the computer and are you using MobileMe to sync or do you just plug in your usb cable.
Hope that helps.

Ipod touch will not sync after new itunes update

Ipod touch 4th generation will not sync after I updated the new itunes. Actually after I updated to the new itunes it deleted all my music from my ipod and refuses to reload. If someone could please help me that would be completely appreciated. I tried trying to sync each song individually but it didn't help (before it stopped syncing), then it stopped syncing, even though I have it hooked up it brings everything that I have on my ipod up but it won't do anything.

When I tried the first time it asked me if i wanted it to stop syncing and to restore. It gave the choices of yes and cancel, i didn't click either because the option box went away and it just stopped restoring on its own. I did the store again and now it is asking if i want to set up as a new ipod or to restore to Andrea's ipod. Should I set up as new?

My Mac OS X 10.4.11 will not write DVDs and gets error code 0x80020022, what is wrong?

My Mac OS X 10.4.11 will not write DVDs and gets error code 0x80020022, what is wrong?

That code is not really useful since it just means it can't write DVD's (or probably CD's). The only thing you can do is first to try a different brand of DVD's, higher quality. You could also try burning at a slower speed.
Based on the fact that you are using an OSX that's no long supported, there's probably not much you can do to correct this issue if it is software related. You may also have a failing Super Drive, another consequence of an older Mac.

I upgraded calendar on mobleme and now mac ical will not sync

I followed the instructions on my mobileme account to upgrade the calendar and got everything to come in correctly. However, when I now enter new events on my ical on my mac running 10.5.8 they will not sync to my mobileme calendar. Can anyone give me assistance? Thank you.

dchaps,
You may want to check the syncing interval in both your MobileMe sync preference and the "Push" selection in iCal. See this article for more details: MobileMe: Sync intervals in Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows.
To make sure that you have MobileMe set up properly, read this article: MobileMe: Using Mac OS X Leopard v10.5.x with the new MobileMe Calendar.

HT1386 I erased my hard drive and now my ipod touch and Itunes will not sync unless I erase my ipod. How can I have transfer transfer the data on my ipod to my computer?

I have a lot of music on my ipod that is not in Itune and I have songs in Itunes that are not on my Ipod. What can I do to combine the two? I do not want to erase my Ipod. I have a lot of CDs that I put in Itunes and synced to my Ipod before I had to formatted my computer's hard drive. It took hours to put my songs on the computer. Once the hard drive was erased, I installed Itune and connected my Ipod. Since I am using the same computer, why does Itune not recognize that my Ipod and computer are the same ones that are linked to my account? What can I do to sync Itunes and my Ipod that does not require earasing my Ipod?

IPod shuffle will not sync with iTunes 7.3; "iPod sync failed"

My shuffle is acting weird lately. For example, when I plug in the iPod and try to add songs and/or sync the device, iTunes says, "iPod sync failed. Disconnect and reconnect, then try again." It's really annoying because I can't add any songs to it or change any settings. Please help me! I have tried almost everything to save my shuffle and have restored it about 6 times!

Have you tried a Disk Repair in the Disk Utility?
Also, you could have a damaged iPodDriver.kext file.
You can replace it by doing an archive and install or
use a 3rd party extractor and get it from your
Install disk. Or copy it from a friends Mac.
I have tried the Disk Repair in Disk Utility and it says my iPod shuffle is perfectly normal. I then decided to erase it with Disk Utility using Mac OS Extended (Journaled) but it didn't work, either. I am beginning to think this is a software problem with my computer...
I will try to replace the iPodDriver.kext file, but unfortunately, I lost the Tiger install disc. Can I use the install disc that came with my eMac (Mac OS X 10.2 Jaguar, I think)? Please let me know soon, and thanks for helping!
P.S. If I can't install it from my eMac install disc, I think I will copy the iPodDriver.kext file from a computer at my library or somewhere else. I can also borrow a friend's Tiger disc and use Pacifist, a great program for extracting .pkg files, to get a fresh iPodDriver.kext file.
