Problems syncing yahoo contacts to ipod touch Model MB5286 Version 4.2.1

For the last 2 years I have had no trouble updating my yahoo contacts to my ipod touch.  I just plugged in my ipod and away it went.  More recently, the iTunes format appears to have changed and I no longer see the same iPod information menus as before.  Last month I tried syncing my ipod to my computer to update contacts and now my contacts list is empty on my iPod, even though the status line during synchronization shows that "syncing contacts" is being done.  I've updated my iPod passwords under "settings" to match my Rogers Yahoo email account as I thought that may have been the problem.
What is odd is that I now have a new, more updated iPod touch and it syncs just fine.  Any ideas as to how I can get the contacts back on my older model MB5286 (it's only 2.5 years old).

Try here:
iOS: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim
However, it is frequently a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Syncing Google Contacts with iPod Touch iOS 1.1.5

    I have one of the first iPod touch models ever released.  It does not even support the App store, the only apps it has is the default iPod apps put on there by Apple.  I was always able to sync my Google contacts with the contacts on my iPod whenever I synced with iTunes on my Windows PC, under the info tab there was an option for Syncing contacts with Google, Outlook, and Windows Contacts but after the last iTunes update I no longer see this option available on iTunes.  I have researched this alot and tried all of the other "work arounds" for this like the one explained in this discussion thread:
    After upgrading itunes 11.1, sync with google contacts option disappear.
    and
    how do i get ipod touch to sync contacts w/gmail
    and
    Contacts syncing with Gmail
    but since my iPod is has iOS 1.1.5 and will never be able to upgrade any higher when I add my Gmail account to my Mail app there is no option or "Contacts" button anywhere to be found, I am guessing this contact syncing feature wasn't added until later iOS versions.
    So my question is now that iTunes no longer syncs contacts with Google, is there any work around you guys know of that will work with my primitive stone age iOS 1.1.5 iPod touch?
    Thanks alot!

    First I would update to iOS 3.1.3., the late update for your model iPod

  • Can't Sync "All Contacts" with iPod Touch 2nd Generation

    I have an older 2nd Gen iPod Touch (iOS 4.2.1) and a 2011 MacAir running Mountain Lion (MacOS 10.8) and the latest version of iTunes (10.6.3).  The Contacts application on the MacAir is syncing the "All on my Mac" group (84 contacts) with my iPod, rather than syncing with "All Contacts" (100 contacts).  Is there a way to change this?  I never setup the "All on my Mac" group so I don't know how that group got defined.  I assumed it appeared as part of the Mountain Lion (or Lion) upgrades, but I'm not sure.   I realize that iTunes provides the option of syncing with "All" or "Selected Groups"  I have selected "All" but am still only getting the contacts from the "All on my Mac" group rather than "All Contacts."
    P.S. Since the 2nd Gen iPod Touch cannot run iOS5 I can only sync through USB cable...no iCloud.
    Help!

    For anyone who might read my post and have the same problem, the above link, second option to try work like a charm. I have my music back. I had to go looking for it and clicking on one of the pieces to play it in iTunes worked. Not all the music was located right away but it was still findable.

  • Problems syncing TV Shows to iPod Touch

    I am having issues syncing my TV shows that I've purchased on iTunes into my iPod Touch. I get a pop up window that says: The episode was not copied to the iPod because it cannot be played on this iPod.
    I just purchased this iPod yesterday, I've updated the software and everything else that I have synced has worked. What is going on?!?

    don't give up so easily
    first take a look @ iTunes. do you see this ?
    if so, check your iTunes media (or music folder). open the folder for the tv show in finder. do you see this ?
    if not, the SD versions may still be in the pipe. check your settings in iTunes > preferences > store. is +automatically check for available downloads+ enabled ?
    you can check any time you like from the store menu.
    if still no joy, access your +purchase history+ via (your) account in the iTMS and click on +report a problem+. report the problem.

    Hmm.. Thank you for the response.
    Have you tried using the iPod with another user account or computer, to help narrow down whether the problem lies with the computer, account, or the iPod itself?
    Maybe try reformatting it, using the tools provided by Windows. Instructions on how to reformat your iPod can be found in this article.

How do i get it back! i bought most of my music on itunes but i just dont have any idea where to go and whjat to do can any help me??
    Respond please!

    Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then see if you can redownload your past music purchases (those that are still in the store) via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes : re-downloading.
    If you are not in a country where music can currently be re-downloaded, then have you not got it on your computer and/or on a backup ? If not then you can try contacting iTunes support and see if they will grant you a re-download : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

    I have a problem. When I start to sync music to my iPod touch, you have to enter the password of your account. I downloaded the game from the general account, and do not always know the password. He writes that if I do not login, then the game will be erased. Previously, this was not. When starting to sync music, it did not touch my programs, and now because of this music can not be transferred to iPods. PANIC AT ME! HELP

    If they are Tunes purchased music you have to sing into the account that purchased them.
    Is this the iTunes library/computer you sync with? You can rally only "sync" with one iTunes library/computer.However, yo can manually manage music and videos among different libraries/computer. See the manual method of:

  • 2 Problems with 2 different iPod Touch models.

    Hi, recently I've experienced a few problems with my First Generation iPod Touch, and my Second Generation iPod Touch also. The first gen. was updated to the most recent software, whereas the second gen. hadn't been updated with iOS 4 yet. Neither have been jailbroken or have had illegal software on them. I hadn't used them excessively recently, so that may be a factor. So first, I'll start with the first gen. iPod.
    It's been working fine with little problems for the almost 2 years I've had it. A few days ago, I decided to clear almost all apps, music, and videos so I could make room for anything I'd like to put on another time. I put a few things back on it, and unplugged it. The next day, I turned it on, organized some apps, than restarted it (forgot the technical term, just the hold power button and sliding the bar to turn it off) I than could not turn it back on, so I plugged it into iTunes. After charging a bit, iTunes said it was in safe mode and I had to restore it, so I did. After it did restore, I plugged it back in and got the message that the iPod may be damaged and it cannot be activated for use, and that I should see an Apple Store. After searching around a bit, I found that this sometimes happens to Jailbroken iPods, turning them "bricked". None of the methods that I read to fix it worked. I don't really have time to see an Apple Store person anytime soon, is there any advice on how to fix it? It currently has a "connect to iTunes" screen on it, so I cannot use it or restore it again.
    On to my second generation iPod, a few days ago I used it, it was out of battery so I charged it, and when I did, it charged, than continually started resetting so I couldn't so anything but charge it. I ignored it. Today I decided to do something about it, so it's currently plugged into my iMac. It charged for a bit, than went to the apple logo screen like it does after you reset it and turn it back on. After it stays on that screen for a few minutes, it goes back to the charge screen, showing that it has no battery left, which is odd because it has been charging for the past hour. The sequence then repeats, with the battery screen going to the apple logo screen and repeating. Because of this, I cannot use it at all, there is never the opening "slide to unlock" screen. It also doesn't show up on iTunes because it isn't on that screen.
    It seems I've been hitting some bad luck, I hope that someone can give me tips on how to fix it, if nothing works, I will just bring them to an Apple Store. Thanks for reading.

    Hi there,
    I'm sorry I cannot help you with the first generation iPod.
    However, with the second one I think I know what the problem is.
    The USB port in many cases does not provide enough power for the iPod to charge and the drainage is greater than the input power. This constantly happens with my iTouch. I usually fix this by removing all other USB devices such as my mouse. This seems to transfer more power to the iTouch which eventually after rebooting a few times has enough power to turn back on and then charge. I believe you should either connect it to a wall based charger and charge for 4 hours or leave it connected to your PC with all USB's removed for a while.
    I hope this helps.
    Cheers

  • Why windows 8 does not recognize ipod touch model A1367 4th Generation?

    Why window 8 does not recognize ipod touch model A1367 4th generation?  and of course iTunes either.

    See:

    I would start with

  • Why is the syncing so slow when I sync my 3rd gen iPod touch?

    I am currently syncing my 3rd gen iPod touch to the newest version of iTunes. It is still "backing up the iPod" and it is still not done after 15 minutes. Is it because of my computer (windows 7 64-bit) or is it because I am syncing alot of things/items (apps, movies, music)? Or is it another problem?

    Correction: Thank you FoxFifth for the good information. I did find this information earlier before landing here in the support community. I have come to the end and I am uncertain about trying to reset my I-pod touch to the factory settings. I was satisfied with the older version of i-tunes. Can someone direct me how to downgrade i-tunes perhaps?

  • Can't sync any apps to iPod Touch? (ver. 2.1.1)

    Hi there, can any one tell me why can't I sync apps to my iPod Touch 2 Gen? My firmware ver. is 2.1.1. Thanks

    I'm in a similar boat.
    I should have 4 apps installed on my iPod Touch 1st generation (version 2.1), although only 3 appear right now -- I'll get to that in a moment.
    My real problem is that the apps do not show up in iTunes. They are not listed in the Applications section nor do they show up on the Applications tab when the iPod is selected. When I connect, the title window indicates that Remote, Koi Pond, and Google Earth are being backed up, but they do not appear anywhere else in iTunes. Music I purchase on the iPod does get transferred to iTunes and appears in the library and in the "Purchased on iPod" list, so the basics seem to be working.
    The reason one app is missing has to do with app updates. I obtained the Simplify Media (SM) app while it was free, and there were several updates after that. Trying to download the updates either failed or caused SM to appear a second time. The only solution seemed to be to delete it and then "buy" and download the updated version. That worked acceptably well until somewhere along the line the apps stopped appearing in iTunes. Now SM is no longer free, so my previous purchase seems to have been lost
    Does anyone have an idea how to get the apps to become visible in iTunes again?
    If I "repurchase" Simplify Media, will the app store realize I previously "purchased" it and let me simply download it again at no additional cost?
