Only a few of my contacts transfer from pc to ipod via itunes

Hey,
Suddenly when I do the ipod sync I only get about 20 contacts, out of about 1000. All the contacts are present in the windows address book. The only thing I am doing differently is using Zindus which syncs all my pc's (Thunderbird) address books and google contacts. I then manually export the Thunderbird addr. book as an .ldif and import that into the windows addr. book, prior to doing an ipod sync. The problem started after I started using Zindus. They are trying to help resolve it, but since all the contacts look fine and all pc's, google, and in the win addr. book, it seems like either the file is corrupted and itunes can't process it or ? Have looked at the .ldif file and it looks ok. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Any ideas what's happened?? and how to fix it? By the way the windows address book looks ok,
i.e. has all the contacts in it.

In iTunes I clicked on iPad, then 'photos'. I scrolled down the entry "copy photos from", unticked the folder concerned, then clicked 'sync'. It worked away for a few seconds but nothing was deleted!!
That sounds right. If you're positive pics aren't deleted, there could be something wrong with iTunes. I'm using the same version (64-bit 12.1.1.4). Although iTunes runs fine on my Win 7, I can't sync some random photos. iTunes sync completes successfully but a few photos that I choose to sync never get synced to the device.
You can try deleting iTunes cache (should be in the same folder where you pics are stored) and resync.

  • Problems syncing photos from iphoto to ipod via itunes

    I have been having some difficulty getting my itunes to sync iphoto contents to my ipod. This worked fine for ages, but has just stopped working. I can sync photos from a standalone folder. Following a discussion on the ipod forum (for full details see: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1872524&start=0&tstart=0 ) we have established it is something in the iphoto library that is causing the problem. A new library works fine, but switch back and itunes does not recognise it. I am hoping that someone here can help me identify what could be causing the problem.
    Any thoughts welcome.
    Duff
    ps I have also posted this in the iphoto forum, see here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1876616

    Resetting your iPod puts the iPod's software in factor default. It doesn't erase anything. Restoring the iPod erases your iPod's content and puts a fresh copy of the OS on it. Restoring is a more extreme way to solve a problem. Use restore if a reset doesn't work. If a restore doesn't work, then its not likely that a reset would help. Sorry for the late reply, I was busy with classes. Cheers mate.

  • Possible to sync photos from Aperture to iPod via iTunes?

    When I used iPhoto, I set iTunes to sync photos from the iTunes Library with my iPod. Now that I use Aperture, there is no equivalent option to have iTunes look at the original photos in Aperture and copy them to the iPod so I can view them.
    I can copy a Vault from Aperture to the iPod, but that's like copying any other data file -- it is stored, but photos cannot be viewed.

    Well, that was an interesting idea, Colin, but it didn't work. I opened iTunes, and then dragged the Aperture repository into it. It seemed to acknowledge it (when I dragged it onto iTunes, the "dragging" icon wasn't x'ed out), but it didn't add anything to the library.
    If you try to do an "Add to Library" from iTunes, and then navigate to the Aperture repository, the repository folder is grayed out. It can't be selected. Same for a backup Vault created from Aperture.
    Thanks for the suggestion, though. It's always worth experimenting. (Assuming everything is backed up. )

    It's a good idea to backup your Mac Address Book application and iCal Calendars application from each application. This way you can go back and pull out items if you lose something. I do this everyday.

  • TS4036 what if i only want to restore my contact list from backup

    what if i only want to restore my contact list from backup

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    Firstly, you cannot selectively restore content from your iCloud backup. Secondly, your contacts are not part of your iCloud backup.

  • Why didn't my contacts transfer from my iphone 4 to my iphone 5?

    why didn't my contacts transfer from my iphone 4 to my iphone 5?

    I've tried both - my 4 was synched both ways.  My 4 (which still has its SIM card, but no service) still has all my contacts, but I must not be "checking" the correct options when I try to sync my 5... any thoughts?

  • How come calendars and contacts vanish from iPhone after upgrade to iTunes 6.1.2?

    How come calandras and contacts vanish from iPhone after upgrade to iTunes 6.1.2?

    Hi, Did you work out a fix for this?  All my calender dates (past & future) and the last 12 months of new contacts gone!!!!   And yes i too back up regularly. 
    Previously when the great 5 upgrade happened, i did loss everything, and although I was doing backups none of that info was relative in an English way. A whole life of important, unreplaceable information gone!  Never to be found.
    All of my products are apple, but it seems that little people dont matter to them, with no recourse for the damage to my personal or professional life.
    Extremly disappointed again!

  • I recently had to redownload itunes onto my computer, how can I safely transfer everything on my ipods to itunes without losing it all?

    I recently had to redownlaod Itunes onto my computer, how can I safely transfer everything on my iPods onto itunes without losing everything?

    The ipod is not a backup device.  The music sync is one way - computer to ipod.  The only exception is itunes purchases:  File>Transfer Purchases
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer, particularly before any restore, update, etc.
    Use your backup copy to put everything back.

  • File size reduction from hard drive to iPod via iTunes?

    Is it possible to reduce file size when adding music to iPod via iTunes? For instance, if I have downloaded songs at 320kbps and have a file that takes up, say, 10MB on my hard drive can I reduce this in size when transferring to iTunes/iPod so as to increase available storage space on iPod?
    Thanks.

    Nope. iTunes only offers this option for the iPod shuffle.

  • Film transfer from old PC to new iTunes

    So a few years ago I purchased a load of films from iTunes (about 8/9 films). And they were on my iTunes account on my old PC which I now no longer have, I recently upgraded to an iMac and when I go onto iTunes I found that I didn't have any of the content I had on my old PC such as music files and films. It's kind of frustrating that there isn't a simple solution to this but let's face it there never is. So if anybody knows how I am able to get these films back it would be a great help. I know before when I was on the same account I was able to purchase something I bought before and I could download it for free but I dont want to accidentally download the wrong thing and have to spend a lot of unwanted money.
    Thanks! - Chris
    UPDATE: After being told to sign into iTunes with my account and go to the purchases tab I did so however I can only find about 2 purchases on there from the past couple of months and they were apps?! There was absolutely nothing from my old PC which I had purchased, even a music video I purchased a while back wasn't on there. And seeing as I can't contact Apple directly it seems that this forum is the only solution. PLEASE HELP!!

  • Transfer from old touch iPod to new touch iPod

    Hubby got me the 8 gig touch iPod last year for Christmas, this year he gave me a 32 gig. His idea was that I use my classic for music, and my touch for games, photos & such, that if he gave me a larger touch, I would only have to carry one.
    Not to sure, if I'll keep it, to tell the truth it feels like a lot of $$, to have less over all storage. However if I do keep it, how in the heck to I transfer all those apps I bought for the 8 gig? If I had to buy all over again, the new one will be going back to the store ASAP.
    Other than the speakers, is there any other reasons that the 32 gig would be worth upgrading to? To be honest, I use the iPods when I'm traveling, so I don't need external sound.

    in iTunes, go preferences > devices and put a tick in the box next to +prevent iPods and iPhones from syncing automatically+
    MUST be a way to drag and drop these WITHOUT syncing
    there ain't !
    since it warns me every time I attempt that I will automatically ERASE everything on my iTouch
    to prevent a sync when plugging in the iPod - hold down the option and the command keys ( on a PC that would be the shift and ctrl ) keys when plugging in the ipod - keep pressing the keys until the iPod is listed under the devices list in iTunes.
    ... but the apps aren't even on my laptop, they're all on my iTouch
    that would be +iPod Touch+
    purchased apps can be re-downloaded for free. i would recommend to either sync them back from your Touch to your iTunes library (or re-download them), then connect your son's Touch usinf the above method.
    any help ?

  • HT1386 new computer, how do I transfer from Iphone to new computer itunes library?

    I purchased a new computer.  Thought I backed up to Itunes before but nothing shows in music library once I log in.  How do I preserve whats on phone to itunes on new computer?

    iTunes will only transfer music purchased from iTunes from the phone to your iTunes library.  Music from other sources can only be transferred from your phone to your iTunes library using 3rd pary software such as Touch Copy.  Your only other options would be to re-import this music from other sources (such as CDs) or to copy the entire iTunes folder from your old computer to your new one, using one of the methods outlined here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527.
