Sync iCal from iPod

My MacBook died. Sad day.
It's being fixed/replaced by Apple. I'd like to use my 30GB iPod to transfer my music, pics, and (most importantly)my iCal calendars onto my macbook when it gets back. I was told it will be set back to factory settings, and the HD is wiped.
Can I use my iPod to update iCal with my old calendars when I get my macbook back? I'm familiar with using senuti for itunes, but I wasnt sure if there is a similar program for iCal.
Thanks!

Yes that is the problem
i have the
ipod touch a third gen eight gigabyte
So looks like i need to get a newer Ipod Touch
to make icloud work on nit
thanks for all your help guys

I recently purchased new Mac Mini with Lion installed. Now I can't get iTunes to sync iCal from my iPod Touch (3rd gen) to my Mini.

I recently purchased a new Mac Mini with Lion installed. I downloaded the latest version of iTunes. Now I can't get iTunes to sync iCal from my iPod Touch (3rd gen) to my Mini. Everything else syncs great, and iCal syncs from my Mini to my Touch. My Touch has the latest iOS installed. I have tried rebooting my Touch, removing the sync calendars option from iTunes>Info and checking it again after applying and closing iTunes, and restarting my Mini. Any help will be appreciated!

Can't sync playlists from ipod touch to new computer

Can't Sync Playlists from iPod Touch to New Library
I just upgraded from an old Pentium computer to a new Dell XPS 18 running Windows 8.1. Downloaded latest version of iTunes to the new computer, then successfully transferred library content from the old computer to the new one via the external hard drive method. All material -- iTunes purchases, music ripped from CDs, a movie, even MP3 files purchased long ago from another source -- transferred successfully; everything plays on the new computer just fine.
My problem is that the "old" playlists didn't transfer over. After connecting my iPod Touch to the new computer, I verified that the iPod has the latest version of iOS, and its content (including the old/original playlists) displays in the window on the left-hand side of the iTunes screen. The really frustrating thing is that I can find no way to transfer the old playlists to my new iTunes library. I've tried dragging and dropping, selecting and pasting, and exploration of all the options menus, but no luck. Creating a new playlist in the new library and then clicking on the "Add To" button opens up a window into which to drop dragged songs/folders from the new library listing, but simultaneously closes the left-hand display window with all of my iPod's current playlists depicted.
I appear successfully to have backed up my iPod to the new computer, but all the sync menu options are grayed out. When I tried clicking on the Sync button, I got a warning that syncing to the new library would erase everything from the old library -- presumably obliterating my playlists with it. I have about a dozen different playlists, some of them with several hundred songs, drawn from a library of a few thousand individual items. Is there some means of importing/transferring the old playlists to the new computer/library, so that I don't manually have to drag and drop hundreds and hundreds of songs into a new set of playlists? Am I overlooking something really obvious or simple? Can I safely turn on Home Sharing and then import or paste the old playlists into the new computer's library. I don't think I'm too much of a Luddite, but given the size of my library I'm very leery of turning on Home Sharing (to the old Pentium computer) after I've successfully transferred over many GBs of content from the old machine to the new.
Thanks very much --

Unable to sync Ical from Iphone 4 to MacBook since updating to Itunes 11.

I am unable to sync Ical from my Iphone 4 to MacBook since updating to Itunes 11. (and yes, the Iphone shows up as recognised in the sidebar and will sync Ical from Macbook to Iphone.) All ideas welcome.

If Damon's suggestion of resetting sync history doesn't fix the problem you most likely have a bad contact record in iCal. When they sync encounters the bad record it doesn't know what to do with it so it stops. To fix it you must find the bad record, open it, make a small change, and save it. An easy way to find the bad record is to create a new group and set the iPhone to sync to this group. Put a few records into the group at a time, then sync. At some point the sync will fail or hang. You have then narrowed the problem to a few records.

Syncing iCal to iPod duplicate entries different dates

I'm trying to sync iCal events with my iPod nano (2nd Gen) using iTunes 7.3. However, each calendar event appears twice--once on the actual date, and once to the follow date. The duplicate events do not appear in iCal, only on the iPod. How can I stop these duplicate events from being created on the iPod?

I can no longer properly sync info from iPod to iTunes. Did iTunes change?

I have always been able to sync my iPod to iTunes. It updated number of plays, date last played, ratings, etc. from the iPod to iTunes.
I can no longer do this. I was on the phone with Apple Support for over an hour...kept getting put on hold while the technician searched for answers...and finally a "senior advisor" told me that it's impossible for information like this to be transferred from the iPod to iTunes. They're on "different" counting systems. This is amazing to me, because it's worked beautifully for years, but now this won't work. Information will transfer from iTunes to iPod, but not from iPod to iTunes.
I don't understand what happened.

The "expert" is wrong, partially. You must be using automatic syncing in order for iTunes to keep the "supporting data" (such as ratings and playcount) in sync. With automatic syncing, it is iTunes's "job" to keep the iTunes library on the computer "in sync" with the library on the iPod. You tell iTunes to replicate either the entire iTunes library on the iPod (if it will fit) or a defined subset of the iTunes library on iPod, and iTunes keeps all data for that media content in sync between iTunes library and iPod.
However, if you use the manual method to load content (drag and drop items on the iPod in iTunes), with the Manually manage music (and videos) setting on the iPod's Summary screen, THEN the iTunes library on the Mac is separate from the library on the iPod. iTunes just loads the media files on the iPod and then "forgets" about it. You can delete songs on the computer, and they stay on the iPod because iTunes doesn't care. In this case, iTunes also does not care about the supporting data, so things like ratings and playcount are not synced back to the Mac. Afterall, that song on the iPod may not even exist in the iTunes library anymore. It's possible that NONE of the song on the iPod are in the computer's iTunes library.

Won't sync iCal to iPod

Am Mac OS 10.4.11. Am trying to sync my iCal (2.0.5) using iTunes (7.6) to my 5G ipod video. When I click on 'Sync iCal Calendars' and hit apply a message comes up saying that I don't have any calendars available. I click on open iCal and it opens. I can then go back to itunes and click apply. Nothing shows up on my ipod under calendars. Any ideas???

Similar problem, just arose (likely with the most recent updates). Running iCal 2.0.5, iTunes 7.6 and Address Book 4.0.6. Address book and iCal both have plenty of entries in them. Have selected to Sync iCal Calendars and also Sync Address Book Contacts (and have "All Contacts" and "All Calendars" selected, too, though even choosing them manually does not help).
Despite the fact that it says it is "Syncing iPod" and "Syncing contacts and calendars on iPod" when I click Sync, my iPod has no entries in the Extras/Contacts and Extras/Calendars area, when previously, all my calendars and contacts where there. I have been doing this on this iPod (new 8g Nano) for 6+ months without a hitch, and dating back much further than this with older iPods.
I even went so far as to copy my Users/xxxx/Libary folder and piecemeal it back in place, but this did not solve the problem.
Any help out there? Anyone else have this problem?

Does the iPod work?
If not
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Before syncing calendar events with an empty supported calendar app on your computer, you need to enter one calendar event in the supported calendar app on your computer - in this case in iCal on your Mac. Make this calendar event up if needed, which can be deleted later.
If there are any calendar events available on your iPhone, this should provide a merge prompt with this first sync for this data, which you want to select.

iSync can't be used to sync anything with an iPhone. iSync can be used to reset the sync history on your Mac, which is done via iSync preferences.
