IPod Touch not syncing w/ iMac iCal

First post! I sync my iPod Touch with my iMac thru the cable. Recently my iPod touch stopped syncing w/ my iMac. for example: the calendar events on the iMac are not transferred to the iPod. Also on the iPod when I create an event, it will only give me the choice of either Calendar [imap_.Mac]:Mail To Do or Calendar, not all my different calendars like before. I don’t know what happened to change this. I restored the iPod but nothing changed. Perhaps it was a software update?
I went to the genius bar and was told that the next time I synced the iPod, under the “Info” page to go to “Advanced”, Replace information on the iPod and click the boxes that I needed to replace. This did nothing. I then put an event on the iPod and synced it with the computer, the event was not transferred to the computer.
Is there a setting that needs to be changed?

Greetings,
Have you restored the iPod? http://www.apple.com/support/ipodtouch/assistant/ipodtouch/

Why does my ical on my ipod touch not sync with my ical on my desktop if I put in an event on the ipod calendar?

Why does my ical on my ipod touch not sync with my ical on my desktop imac ical?
It will if I put it in on my desktop though.
Please help,

Probably because you did not tell the iPod to sync the calendar in iTunes.

Now that I moved my itunes to a new computer why will my iphone and ipod touch not sync?

I just switched my itunes to my new laptop from my desktop (which no longer works). Everything seemed to be ok after I updated to the newest version of itunes. Now I cannot get my iphone (3G) and my ipod touch to sync at all. In fact when I plugged in my ipod touch it erased everything I had on there. I know these are older devices but I had no problems with syncing previously so why now? Even the backups will not work.

You can only sync to one computer/iTunes library. If you switch iTunes will erase the iPod and replaces the media with what is in the iTunes library of the new computer.
You should have done this:
Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive: Apple Support Communities
You said "Even the backups will not work.". What happens when you try to restore from backup?

MacBook & iPod Touch not syncing iCal & Address Book data

I have been unable to sync iCal & Contact data between my MacBook and iPod Touch for some time. The iPod shows up in my iTunes but when highlighted with the Info tab clicked neither my contacts nor calendars appear in the appropriate boxes so that they may be synced. I receive a message stating that it is unable to sync this data because syncing is not enabled. When I click 'Yes' to enable syncing I get a message stating that syncing can not be enabled on this computer. I then click 'Override' which essentially does nothing. I am not sure what happened to create this problem nor how to fix it. Any ideas or suggestions?
Thanks,
Joe

Jim,
I found instructions on how to reset SyncServices via Terminal command. After trying it this is the message I received:

Purchases made on ipod touch not syncing to mac library

I recently purchased 2 albums from the itunes store from my 2nd gen ipod touch. When I attached my ipod to my imac to sync them to my itunes library, they do not show up...they do show up in my ipod touch though. Other purchases in the past have added to my library with no problem..what"s up with my new ones?

Is the computer authorized for the Apple ID that the content was acquired with?
Is the device backing up to iTunes on the computer or iCloud? If backing up to iCloud purchases do not automatically transfer, the user must manually select Transfer Purchases.

3rd gen iPod Touch not syncing with iTunes 10.4.1 on Lion?

I've had a 3rd gen 64GB iPod Touch for almost two years now and I've only had one problem with syncing it before. I followed this (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1747) and it helped. But since I updated my MacBook Pro to Lion, this article no longer applies and iTunes hasn't recognized my iPod. My iPod does show up in iPhoto though. Everything is fully updated and I restored my iPod using another computer, but even after doing that my iPod isn't recognized in iTunes. Also, my iPod won't go into recovery mode. It shows the connect to iTunes screen but when I connect it, nothing happens. I've tried restarting my computer and my iPod many times and I've tried everything I know.
Now, since restoring, I have nothing on my iPod and I use it every day so any help would be appreciated.

I figured out how to show the hidden files, but even after doing that, the files weren't there. On the page that you showed me, it says "Note: These steps do not apply to OS X Lion" and since I am using Lion, it didn't work

IPod Touch not syncing music

Why oh why do things that worked previously not work now? This happens so much with Apple products!!!
I have tried now several times to sync my plugged-in iPod Touch with my iTunes selected songs and playlists.
I have checked the boxes about manually managing music. I have chosen for the iPod to sync with a playlist in my iTunes library, and even tried just dragging the songs over.....They still do not show up on the iPod.
I did a manual reset, holding down the On/Off button and home button on the iPod, and it still isn't syncing correctly.

I had a similar problem yesterday. Even after "restoring" it still would not sync the music but did sync the videos!! In another thread I found some help from "John Guo" who suggested
"Try putting the iPod into recovery mode. To do that, turn off the iPod. Then it on and hold the Home button until it asks you to connect to iTunes. Plug the iPod into your computer and restore it. Hope this works."
I did that & all works fine now. One other thing I did was set NO automatic syncing in itunes prefs. I when it asked after the restore I did NOT restore settings from backup bu designated it a new ipod.
Good luck,
Harris

Ipod Touch not syncing Win 8 64, iTunes 11

Hi,
New install of win 8 64
New install of iTunes 11.0.0.163
iPod Touch original with OS 3.1.3
Whenever I sync music file or videos to this iPod Touch iTunes will hang mid sync. Sometime it hangs close to the beginning and sometimes towards the end. Sometimes a video or song or two will make it onto the iPod but most often it just hangs. If I leave it for abou 10 minutes then iTunes will eventually return control with a timeout message saying my device timed out.
All the songs and vidoes synced on this device a few days ago when I was using XP and an earlier verison of iOS on the iPod -- the files are good.
Things I have done to try and fix this:
-- upgraded the iOS on the iPod Touch -- I'm now on 3.1.3 and it didn't work and cost me a few dollars
-- reset the iPod Touch -- a full reset, and then set up "as new iPod" on iTunes -- didn't work and I lost some photos (no big deal)
-- reinstalled iTunes for 64 bit on Win 8 -- didn't work, I'm definitely using 64 (iPodhelper service shows as 64 bit in TM)
-- run iTunes in Win 7 compatibility mode -- didn't work and iTunes functioned very poorly and hung almost from the start
-- changed the videos from "Home Video" to music video -- didn't work
-- changed the videos from "Home Video" to "TV Programme" -- didn't work
Looking for tips.
Yours sincerely
Pauly

Hmm, 3 weeks and not a single reply from Apple support . . is it really this bad?

Ipod touch not syncing as already synced with another library

I Pod Touch just purchased 4th one in family. Whilst away i set up itunes in another win computer and synced new ipod touch to this one. Now i,m home trying to sync with my mac at home but getting error;
"This Ipod is synced with another library" The other library(on win) is just still mine in itunes.
How do i fix this without losing all new app's etc on daughters computer that were purchased whilst away. Do i have to lose all the new app's & songs
help !!

I think that, for some reason, none of the backups that were being made are listed any longer. The only ones listed are four that have timestamps after I erased, one with the earliest timestamp that's the encrypted backup, and another without a time stamp that I'm also assuming is later. I might give that one a try, but I'm not sure that it will work...

2nd generation iPod touch not syncing with computer

When I plug in my 2nd generation 8g iPod touch, it doesn't say "syncing" and it doesn't show up as a device on my computer. I tested the cord with a wall charger, and it's not the cord's problem. Is it because my iPod is an older system? My iTunes updated by itself so it's the newest version. Help!!!

I have unfortuantly had the exact same problem following my update to iTunes 11.
Incase someone explains the problem for me and not you, here is the link to my post. https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4755057
Best of luck getting it to work!

Ipod touch not syncing

I had to delete my user on my computer and now my ipod won't sync with itunes. How do I fix this?

I am having the same problem. I don't want to have to back up all my music onto another computer (most likely a laptop) just to get the right configurations.
This is not fair. The touch guide clearly states Mac + Windows. Not specifying vista or not.
Not to mention I've already returned another iPod touch for the same problem that I am having now. This is unbelievable.
This is really making me want to never have an iPod again.
I loved my mini! Now that that is toast I moved on to what apple promised to be the very best. Well apple I have yet to see it do its best.
Please instruct your consumers a little better before releasing them into the apple orchard!

Ipod Touch not syncing after Update

I've just restored my Ipod Touch with new software and it's been restored but it won't sync anything other than podcasts and the last album I added to my library.
All the boxes are ticked to sync music, apps, films etc but it's just not doing it.
Any ideas?

Ipod Touch not syncing and needing to be restored everytime I try to sync

I have a 64gb Ipod touch 5th generation. It is about two years old. I have never dropped it nor has it ever had water damage.
Every time I try to add new music to my ipod, it will not sync properly and it freezes after about 20mins of syncing and will then say my ipod is over capacity but I have 20gb remaining. I will then need to restore my ipod and add all my music back and it will then eventually sync all of the music.
I can't seem to find a way to fix this, How do I sync new music to my ipod with having to restore it each time.
It will also not restore to a previous backed up version.

Ipod Touch not syncing and/shutting down Windows 7 x64

I recently upgraded my HP Pavilion to Windows 7 Home Premium, from Vista Home Premium and have been experiencing a major problem with the connection of my iPod touch to my computer. The iPod is a 16GB (ver. 3.2.1(7D11)). The issue is that my iPod won't sync anymore to my computer. When I connect the device, iTunes opens and starts to sync. About 20 seconds later the iPod shuts off and the computer restarts...blue screen...and reboots like nothing happened. Error reporting shows a "Video Hardware Error" with a bunch of information about the problem. I have searched and searched for different solutions (reinstalling iTunes, going in from a different user account on the computer, deleted certain files or resetting settings) with no results that remotely fix the issue. It's to the point now that the iPod won't sync at all and I have no way to get new music, etc onto the device. Any thoughts?

Found a fix...this is a hotfix that is through MS and spans multiple posts. It's a USB hotfix for people needing to fix many issues (external HD, thumb drives, ipods, etc...). Things to remember, this hotfix is for Win 7 with certain parameters, please read the posts for seeing if your machine is applicable to the hotfix. Also, USE INTERNET EXPLORER for all downloads and fixes through MS. For some reason Firefox send incorrect data to MS. Below is the link the the hotfix discussion. Mark, a MS Pro Tech is on that really helped get this going. I hope this works, two sync's in and we are all square. Thanks for your patience.
