Large Contact Note crashes my iPod Touch or silently blocks sync
I added a 111KB Note to an existing contact’s Notes field. Initially synchronization silently failed (reminiscent of http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2043070, but for Contacts, not the Notes app). After rebooting the Mac, synchronization worked, but viewing the entry silently quit Contacts twice in a row. I’m reluctant to experiment with this, so I deleted the note, and it now works.
This may be similar to <http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2046688>, but that discussion is closed.
Here are some console log entries, before and after the reboot:
Jan 23 12:53:05 … Address Book[4122]: kCGErrorCannotComplete: CGSDeviceGetGeometry: Invalid device window

How can I be certain the contact list in my iPod touch updates my computer Outlook contact list when I sync and not go the other way? The options in iTunes are not specific enough. In other words, I want to replace the information in my computer Outlook contact list with the data from my iPod touch.
How is your iPod configured to sync music from your iTunes library? In other words, what options and configurations do you have enabled from under the iPod's Summary and Music configuration panes in iTunes?

I am running Windows 8. Although my contacts and notes from my Ipod touch show up on icloud my calendar entries do not show up even though they do show up in my Google calendar and my windows phone calendar. Any suggestions not already covered in trouble shooting articles?
As I mentioned earlier, you have to decide which calendar you want to use. You can either use Google or iCloud, but not both.
If you want to use your iCloud calendar, go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Account (in the Calendar section) and set this to your iCloud calendar. After doing so, all new events you add to your calendar will be added by default to your iCloud calendar, and as a result, will appear on icloud.com and your computer (if it is syncing calendars with your iCloud account).
If, on the other hand, you want to use your Google calendar (as it sounds like you are doing with your iPod), simply add the same Google calendar to your phone and your computer. -

I contacted audioforge lab and they told me to contact apple for a refund. someone help me I need this app to work again my car sound horrible without it!
Sounds like the app(s) is not compatible with your model iPod and iOS.

ITunes 9.0.1 not showing my iPod Touch since I installed OS 10.5.8
Your help, please...
iTunes 9.0.1 is not showing my iPod Touch since I installed OS 10.5.8.
Your ideas are welcome, because I'm out of them.
Thank you,
Dean LeutscherIt looks like part of the crash report is missing. But at the top of your message it states there's an issue with the xmlTextReader in Pages. I guess this means Pages is having trouble opening, closing or saving the document.
If this only happens with one Pages document then it may just be corrupt.
If this happens with any Pages document then I'd suggest deleting Pages, reinstalling it from DVD/Mac App Store, updating it and then trying to work with a document.
If this doesn't answer your question please provide more information eg what steps to take to cause the problem, if it happens with one or many documents, if you get any error message at all, etc. -
When i open up itunes on my computer, it says that i have 2 videos but when i sync it and check my ipod touch, it says i have no videos so it only shows up on my computer but not on my iPod touch and its a 4th Generation.
Update Server
Try:
- Powering off and then back on your router.
- iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
- Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
Public DNS — Google Developers
OpenDNS IP Addresses
- Try on another computer/network
- Wait if it is an Apple problem -
I have a new iPhone and I want to transfer my Notes from an iPod Touch 3. I've tried using iCloud but can't get anywhere. Help.
Since you have purchased a new Mac (which, BTW, is not typed in all capitals) why not buy a Time Capsule <http://www.apple.com/airport-time-capsule/> which is designed specifically to work with OS X and Time Machine?
You don't say what part of your Sony "crashed." If it was not the HDD it is possible to take the computer apart, put the HDD in an external case, then recover the data off of it (including the music) simply drag-n-drop. If it was the HDD that "crashed" that makes it more difficult.
If you are able to recover the music from the Sony you can then add it to the iTunes library on the Mac and iTunes Match will then scan, match and upload the tracks to be mirrored in the cloud. -
Can Not Redeem Gifted iPod Touch App
Hello,
as the title reads I was gifted 2 apps, the transaction went through and the email came but when I click on the button to redeem my app first of all, it says that I done have itunes on my pc (which I do and is all up to date) but that's not a problem because I click on the button saying "I do have itunes installed". Now, it shoots me into the itunes with a heading of "Redeem Code" the code is already entered and it is apparently not valid. This is the message I receive "The code you have entered is not recognized as a valid code". Any help?Not Charge

All my contacts disappeared from my iPod Touch
All my contacts disappeared from my iPod Touch!
I was not syncing, I don't use the Cloud, I was just checking if i had any messages on Viber...
All of a sudden, Viber didn't display any names any more, so I checked my contacts, and it just displays that my contacts are empty...
Is there any way of getting them back?
Thx for your answers!!
PeterRestore from backup. See the restoring topic of:

If you restore from iTunes backup
To help prevent the last backup from being overwritten and thus erasing the Messages from the last backup turn off autosyncing so that you have to overtly start a sync. To turn off go iTunes>Preferences>Devices and check the box that says "Prevent iPods...". -
Sony icfcs10ip "not supported" by ipod touch
My son has a 4th generation iPod touch. We purchased a Sony icfcs10ip iPod docking station for him in August 2011. It worked great with his iPod Touch.
Now it will not work. In fact, it gives a message "This Accessory is Not Supported by iPod touch." However, the Sony dock will work just fine with my iPhone4 and my daughter's 4th generation iPod touch. As far as I can tell, my daughter's iPod is identical, although hers is newer than his. My son's iPod was purchased in December 2010 and my daughter's iPod was purchased in July 2011. They are both 32 GB iPod Touch models, 4th gen.
You might think the problem is with my son's iPod, but it will work with two other iPod music docking stations, one which is very old (Apple Hifi) and one which is very new (a Philips music dock that is only 2 months old).
His iPod is updated to the latest OS (version 5.01). I tried doing the "reset all settings," which does everything but erasing all the content. My son doesn't want me to do the full reset because he is worried that he will lose all his levels on the games he likes to play.
Is there any difference between a 4th gen iPod touch purchased in Dec. 2010 and a 4th gen iPod touch purchased in July 2011? Was there a software update that made the Sony dock unusable?
TIA for any help!Stop shouting!!!
We are ipod users just like you.
All caps indicates shouting, is rude and is difficult to read.
If you want help, yelling at those that would help is a terrible way to go about it.
Contact ihome and ask if the unit is compatible with your ipod.
Try the basics form the manual: restart, reset, restore.

- Inspect the dock connector for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device. -
My iPod Touch keeps displaying the message 'This accessory not supported by iPod touch.' When I've used it w/this device multiple times, it's happening more and more frequently now. Anyway to dismiss this message for good? Because the iPod still plays thru my radio and system.
That message is usually due to a bad cable.
