Ipod touch + itune synching outlook calendar schedules

When I synch itunes and the ipod the ipod will bring back old deleted schedules that had been deleted on the ipod and the PC. The issue seems to possibly be related to recurring schedules. For example say it is July. I have deleted the events on both the ipod and PC. I synch both and only on the ipod old schedules from June will show up only on the ipod. I look at the PC they are not there.
Running XP and version itunes 9.2.0.61

Open your iPod touch in iTunes, click the "Info" tab, scroll down to the "Advanced" section, check the box labeled "calendars," and sync.

i just baught a new ipod touch and synched it to my old computer to get the music off it but when i synched it to my new computer it wants to delete all the music on it that wasnt baught through itunes....how do i keep my cd's and stuff that are on the ipod now and put it onto my new computer?

These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
Method 1
Backup the library with this User Tip.
Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
Method 2
Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
Note if you have iOS devices and haven't moved your contacts and calendar items across then you should create one dummy entry of each in your new profile and iTunes should merge the existing data from the device.
If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library or a backup then then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

Every time i try to sync my 4th gen ipod touch itunes won't recognise it and the ipod keeps beeping - is there anything I can do?

This is really frustrating. Every time i try to sync my 4th gen ipod touch itunes won't recognise it and the ipod keeps beeping - is there anything I can do? I've tried using different cables. Itunes works fine with my family members ipod's & iphones...

The best way to manage your music when you have multiple iPods is to change the settings under "Options" so that you manually manage your music instead of it doing an automatic synch each time you connect. To add only the songs you want, highlight them and then "click and drag" them to your iPod. This way none of your daughter's music gets added and you're not in danger of deleting your playlist as well. It will show you how many songs you've added and you can then click on your iPod to verify. To delete her songs off your iPod now, click on the music tab under your iPod so show everything you have stored. Find those songs you want to delete, click on them to highlight then go up to the Edit window and click delete. This will erase them off your iPod but be careful when you highlight. I did that and then had to reload a cd on my boyfriend's, lol. hope this helps

Is there any way to sync my contacts on my ipod touch to Microsoft Outlook?

Is there any way to sync my contacts on my ipod touch to microsoft outlook using the push service from Mobile Me? Or any other mode of transferring?

Sure. Install the latest version of iTunes on your PC, and just connect your iPod Touch to it, decline the prompt to autosync (the warning about losing your music), then go into the info tab, select sync contacts, and click apply. Your contacts will be transferred (both directions, i.e. the outlook contacts and your IPT contacts will be merged and the combined set will be present on both lists).
Hope this helps...

Repair iTunes Security Permissions
Right-click on your main iTunes folder and click Properties, then go to the Securitytab and click Advanced. Use the Change Permissions... button grant to your account (or the Users group) and SYSTEM full control of this folder, subfolders and files, then tick the option to Replace permissions entries... which will repair permissions throughout the library. When complete switch to the General tab, click in the Read-only check box to clear it, then click Apply.
If you don't have the option to change the permissions then use the Owner tab and Edit... button to take ownership from an account with administrator privileges. Tick the option to Replace owner on subcontainers and objects.
Repeat with the media folder if it isn't stored inside the main iTunes folder.
If you've brought over the library from another computer you may also want to remove any "mystery" identities (S<string of dashes & digts>) that have come over from the old computer...
The images above are from Windows 7. Hopefully the system isn't too different in Windows 8.

When i want to synce my ipod touch itunes remove my apps what should i do?

when i want to synce my ipod touch itunes remove my apps what should i do?

Well, there's the problem... iDevices cannot sync with multiple computers.
The device and iTunes are doing exactly what they are designed to do.
Did all the apps on the device come from your friends computer? If so, there is no way to sync with your computer and maintain the apps that do not belong to you.

Problems with Sync iPod Touch with MS Outlook 2007 Calendar

I've seen oodles of complaints in this area, I'm thinking Apple isn't ready for prime time with "Calendar"
I have a 10 year old palm pilot, that has been syncing a MS-outlook calendar for work, and one from home, and it allows me to have a PDA with an accurate calendar. The work computer is typically newer (Windows 7, Outlook 2007), the home computer is typically older (XP, Outlook 2001). But changes between the two have happened over the years, and the Palm faithfully keeps on Syncing the two. I only want one calendar to see all my life's activities (work meetings, kid's dentist appointments, wife's sewing groups, going out with friends, etc.)
Did I mention my palm is 10 years old? I purchased an iPod Touch last week, and I knew in advance it would force me to install iTunes (so both are new).
While the ipod touch has wonderful things on it (I've jumped 10 years in technology), I need a mobile PDA with an "accurate" calendar. Note the word Accurate.
After Syncing, I see some recurring entries on time, some recurring entries out by an hour, some recurring entries that were deleted on my computer, still there in the ipod.
I've read that sometimes when you do a change (just to the content) of a recurring item, it can change the time of the calendar entry
I've read that there are known bugs in deleted recurring entries, still appearing.
While my Palm Pilot was not perfect, it handled those situations.
From ideas I've read, I've reset my backup in iTunes, I've emptied my outlook calendar, synced it empty to ipod, imported my outlook calendar back, and synced it to ipod forcing it to "overwrite", but problem entries still remains.
I've read some people say they no longer use recurring entries. Not an option for me. If I have a client for a year that wants to meet every Tuesday at 2:00 pm, but oh, I can't July 13, he can't October 19, how am I supposed to remember on those future dates, that the PDA while saying there is a meeting, there really isn't one?
How do I go about with the entries out by an hour. Show up for every meeting one hour early, in case my PDA is wrong. Not acceptable.
I've played with both date settings on the ipod (one is the ipod date, one is the calendar date). And both settings on my computer (calendar time zone and computer time zone). My computer has a DST switch, ipod does not. I'm really begining to hate DST both on the impact it has for a human body to switch, but also all the crap it causes in a more and more and more technologically connected world. But I have to rely on a city selection choice, that ipod knows if it goes with DST or not??? I don't really trust Apple on that one, sorry, it seems they've not latched on to the concept of time correctly. So I don't trust their DST on or off decisions, that I can't tell if they've done or not. I can't find any GMT time zones, I can find UTC, but no number is beside it (I want to choose my offset number of the time zone I'm in).
While I like many kewl Apps the ipod touch has, the bottom line is, I need a PDA with a calendar. And I need a calendar that is accurate. And I don't want to enter 48 entries manaully in outlook 2007, when I can enter 52 with just one recurring effort, and delete 2 that don't work on a specific future day.
I don't want to arrive an hour early for a meeting, cause I can't trust if calendar entry is correct or out by an hour.
How can I tell if DST is on or off on the iPod (I do business monthly in an area that does not do DST). Playing around with time settings in my iPod to try to get most calendar items accurate with their time, but after a sync, it changes my time zone on the iPod to Phoenix. And I normally have it set to Calgary. I know Calgary is MST (with DST), but what is Phoenix? Why should I have to look up what time zone they are in, or do they do DST? Why does my ipod time zone change after a Sync!!!
I'm a small business owner, but if Apple is not ready for Prime time, someone please tell me. I have a 10 year old son who wants my new ipod toy, and I'm starting to feel it is only that, a toy, not yet ready for business.
Thank you for reading thus far

I can't understand this question, can you clarify?
By 'put a CD into itunes' did you mean you were viewing a CD in itunes or you had imported the tracks from the CD into your itunes library?
On what screen were you seeing 'no sync high lighted' and what does that mean?
Do you sync your entire library automatically with your ipod, do you need to select tracks to be automatically synced, or you manually manage your ipod's library?

Ipod touch not synching with latest version of Itunes

I connect my Ipod touch 2nd generation 8 gig to Itunes latest version and it makes the moves as if it were synching but contacts and events do not appear on the Ipod after synching. I mean new events and contacts. I have erased duplicates on my MacBook Pro and they still appear on the Ipod. What could this be? Helo!

Syncing, unless you are loading a 64g touch for the first time, should only take a matter of minutes. Tap your iPod to wake it up and hit "Cancel Sync". Not sure what happened, but that isn't correct.
Anyway, to do a forced calendar sync where your iPod calendar is overwritten is pretty easy. With your iPod plugged into iTunes and showing in "Devices", click on the Info tab (far right). Scroll to the bottom and you will see the "Advanced" section. Pick the area you want to overwrite and resync your touch.

Syncing my ipod touch to my outlook contacts and calendar

I'm having problems syncing my Outlook contacts and calendar to my ipod touch. When I link my ipod to my computer and open iTunes it doesn't show that there is even an address book to sync with. I enable the task that says to sync with but the pull down tab has no options at all and it says no calendar application can be found. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes and have tried making sure all of my software on both units are up to date. I can't find any troubleshooting information anywhere to help me resolve this issue. Someone please help! Is the problem with my iPod? my computer? with iTunes? or with Outlook? Thanks for all your help

Hey shhinkle8,
What versions of iTunes and Outlook are running on the PC? You can get the version by launching the application and clicking Help> About.
This article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1692 provides general tips that may resolve the issue.

I have a new Mac PC but my IPod touch ITunes account was on my old desk top, how do I get all my music on my new MAC? It appears I might have 2 ITunes accounts which is why my IPod is not synching all the songs, please help.

I have a new MAC PC with an old IPod Touch that was synch to my old desktop, how do I get the new music on my new MAC if I might have had an old account?

The article in my previous reply said:
- Transfer iTunes purchases from iPod to computer by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
- For non-Tunes purchases you need to use a third-party program. Several are discussed in the link in my previous reply
- Then to sync with the new computer after getting all synced media like apps and music on the new computer yo have to backup the iPod to iTunes and restore from that backup
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes

IPod touch : iTunes freezing mid-synch

Suddenly iTunes is freezing whilst attempting to update Farmville app. to my IPod Touch 3. The consequence is every open function on my PC is frozen, nothing, including iTunes can be closed, iTunes is reporting a 408+ hour synch time, and I must force shutdown the computer.

Try theis. Although the link is for Win7 and Vista, it incldes a link for XP.
iTunes for Windows Vista or Windows 7: Troubleshooting unexpected quits, freezes, or launch issues
If that doe not work you might want to consider deleting the Farmville App from either of both the computer and iPod.

ITunes 6 -- Outlook calendar synch problem fixed?

I've been very frustrated that I can't synch my calendar to my Nano because it has reoccurring appointments (the dreaded "-50" error). Does anyone know if iTunes 6 fixes this bug? (I just upgraded but I don't have my iPod with me right now...)

I guess I have no reason to upgrade to 6.0 then...I'll wait for 6.01 which (if the joke called iTunes 5.0 is anything to go by) will be out this time next week.

New IPod touch replacement & synching to ITunes

Had an IPod Touch but was defective and was replaced with new one, but now error message when connecting to ITunes of "Pairing method problem". What does that mean and how do I fix it? Cannot access ITunes with it.

I don't suppose that you'd be kind enough to tell us just what error message you're receiving?

IPod Touch + iTunes + Outlook and more: how it all ties together

I depend on having Calendar, Contacts, To Do's, and notes functional on both my iPod Touch and my PC which runs Windows XP. It took a bit of effort but I've got it mostly working. I have documented the system at a high level. No doubt experts will find errors plus have invaluable suggestions. I welcome their input. Hopefully this article will evolve into something of use to the community.
If you are interested, see

A little bump... Someone must know this...? Surely? If not, where can I get hold of an Apple rep, because I can't be doing with hundreds of albums consisting of just one song.
Thanks again.
