Synchro contacs & calendar between ITunes 6/Ipod Video and Outlook 2003

it's impossible.....
ITunes did not see outlook on my pc.
In OPTIONS all synch well (music and photo..) but with calendar end contacts Itunes reports "you must have Outlook installed...."

As much as I love my iPod Touch, this problem syncing with Outlook 2003 -- and the failure of Apple to acknowledge it (at least there's nothing I've seen so far) -- has me ready to toss it out my office window. It all seems so random: Sometimes it's fine and the sync woriks, sometimes it's producing multiple versions of an appointment, and sometimes the appointment gets deleted from Outlook, the iPod or both. Looks like I actually do need a paper backup!! This is the second time that updating my iPod Touch has resulted in a major slip in functionality. The last time I was told that by an insider that Apple engineers dislike having to work out bugs with Windows, that they don't like Windows. Are we being punished? This is seriously annoying.

  • Problem for synchronizing calendars between my iPOD 30GB and OUTLOOK 2003

    Hello,
    I arrive to synchronize my contacts between my iPOD and OUTLOOK 2003 via iTunes, but not the calendars.
    Thank you for your help

    If you have EVER sync'd Outlook 2003 with a PDA then iTunes will throw an error when trying to sync Calendars.
    THE FIX:
    Delete all calendar entries
    (an easy way to do this is in Calendar select VIEW > Arrange By > Current View > Events)
    Then Delete all entries by highlighting them all right click and select delete!
    NOTE: You may have to repeat VIEW > ARRANGE By > Current View > {other categories in list i.e. "Category" and/or "Annual Events" and/or "Recurring Appointments"} To find all the entries that need to be deleted.
    Once all of the calendar data is deleted you can re-input the data, but you can never sync it with a PDA otherwise you will develop the original problem again.
    WHY DOES THIS WORK? Simply when a PDA syncs with Outlook it places a unique hidden identifer on each entry which screws up iTunes ability to sync with your calendars.
    Hope this is clear and helps someone.

  • Synching calendars between itunes and iphone 5 no longer works.

    Syncing calendars between itunes and iphone 5 no longer works.  I do not get any errors, however calendar items are not updated. 
    I am syncing via USB on a Windows 8 computer.  It worked a couple of weeks ago.  Since then itunes has had its weekly update, my IOS may have been updated, and I've run a malware removal program on my computer. I curently have iTunes 11.1.3.8  and iOS 7.0.4.  I read the posts and verified ICloud was turned off. 
    I really need to be able to sync my computer and iphone again.  Any suggestions?

    So you'll either need to attempt further repair yourself or take the iPhone to some unauthorized repair shop, pay them, and hope they fix it correctly.
    The iPhone 5 has no Touch ID, and an iPhone 5S should still be under warranty, so I'm puzzled as to what you really have and were attempting. If you do have a 5S, why you didn't get it serviced under warranty?
    Regards.

  • Using iPOD video and Nano on one PC

    Need help. I just got a 60 gb iPOD video and have been using iTunes on my PC for my Nano. If I download videos from the iTunes Music Store for my iPOD Video, will it cause a problem when I later plug in my Nano to update? I.E., is there a way for me to use my same iTunes library for both the iPOD Video and iPOD Nano without the Nano crashing because of the video content? Sorry, I'm new to this. I appreciate anyone's help. Thanks.

    If you are adding a second iPod for your own use, just connect the new iPod to your computer and follow the on screen instructions. It will update from your existing library and in the case of the Nano you will not have a problem with videos as it is not designed to use them. Depending on the size of your library and the type of iPod you choose you can have it update the whole library, selected playlists or you can manage it manually. With the first option it will update everything. With the second option only the tracks in the selected playlists (rather than the entire music library) are downloaded to iPod when you connect. With the manual update option, you manage what goes into your iPod by dragging and dropping selected songs or playlists into iPod:
    Loading songs onto iPod automatically
    Managing content manually on iPod

  • I have an ipod video and I want to get a shuffle too on same pc....

    I have an ipod video, and i want to get an ipod shuffle, but do not know if that will cause some type of confusion with itunes. I tried hooking up my girlfriend's ipod to my laptop and I couldn't drag any songs to her ipod. Will I have this same issue with the shuffle?

    - Do you have to right boxes checked in the Tones pane of iTunes for the iPod to get them synced to the iPod:
    - Were the tones purchased with the same account as all the other media on the iPod?

  • ITunes to iPod video

    I downloaded a video and it shows up under the video folder in iTunes on my PC and it does appear on the menu on my iPod display. However, it does not show on My iPod list under iTunes -- so if it ever comes to it, how do I delete it off of my iPod? or categorize them into genre, etc.?

    Thanks so much hamltn! I knew if I deleted from the library it would cause an issue and I don't use auto update because it caused my PC to freeze every time. It sounds easy enough to do what I need to in the future -- too bad the iPod also doesn't have folders when in iTunes for things other than music! I appreciate the help and happy listening/watching!
    I've also been annoyed at the lack of a nice little
    'videos' icon under the iPod icon when the iPod is
    attached to iTunes. Nevertheless, it can be done...
    If you use auto-update, deleting the file(s) from
    your iTunes library will cause them to be deleted
    from the iPod next time you connect it.
    If you use manual updating, you'll need to locate and
    delete files manually. In iTunes, in the source
    list, click the iPod icon to open its entire library.
    Then sort the list however it's easiest to find the
    content you're looking for (i.e., by Title, Artist,
    etc.). Once you've found the file, right-click and
    use the pop-up menu to delete it.

  • Could someone explain the differences between the 3 iPod Video versions?

    What are the differences between
    iPod Video / 5th Generation iPod,
    iPod Video 2nd Generation, and
    iPod Classic 6th Generation?
    If I understand correctly, the only thing that changed between the first two was the size of the hard drives. If that's true, all I'd like to know is what's new in the 6th Generation.

    iPod 5.5G has a brighter screen and new search features and 30GB & 80GB models.
    classic has better battery life, coverflow, more games, ability to watch rented movies, better battery life and 80GB and 160GB models.

  • I have replacement ipod video and want it to use the itunes held on my comp

    Help needed please. I had an ipod video which broke. I have bought a new one, but have been told it won't carry forward my music from itunes.
    How can I get the replacement i pod to hold my existing itunes?
    I Pod video 30G   Windows XP  

    You just need to connect your new iPod. If the songs you had on your previous iPod are still in iTunes they will load onto your new one. Follow the onscreen instructions to register and name your iPod, when that is done you'll be asked if you want it to update automatically from iTunes, choose yes if you do. If you want to update manually or using selected playlists choose no and it will default to manual mode and you can choose whatever setting you like

  • Serious Sync issues between iTunes 8.0.2 and AppleTV 2.3

    Please Help,
    Everything was just wonderful until several weeks back when the AppleTV started having sync issues that seem to have degraded into oblivion. Rebooted everything, checked all software loads, tried many of the suggestions (no blocking network / firewall issues) and have even tried adding redundant port allows for any and all ports I could find going in / out of Apple TV. But to no avail there seems to be a bug that got introduced somewhere with the sync mechanisms.
    The Apple TV can purchase movies, download them fast to start playing, view youtube videos just fine and play all of the media great, So can my Mac and all media / iTunes functions work well it even syncs with my iPhone / iPods well.
    However... The only way I can get the AppleTV to sync is to reboot it, then it will sync some, iTunes will just get to a forever syncing with Apple TV state (which you have to stop), reboot AppleTV again, it will sync some more, until it stops, iTunes is stuck syncing forever with AppleTV again, repeat and rinse about 4 more times and you have it all synced.
    If there isn't anything to sync when AppleTV boots the Sync in iTunes just spins for ever. I actually left it for 4 days just to see if it was actually doing anything. Minimal Network IO and of course it never finished.
    If I stop the Sync with Apple TV in iTunes and then try to reinitiate it from iTunes I get the 3986 port error (which is bogus) unless there is some hidden setting somewhere in the OS that I can't find. And if there was a problem then why would it start and run when I boot the Apple TV.
    It just seems that all of a sudden things started going wrong with Sync with no real change other than 'software updates' .
    The only thing I haven't tried is to do a factory reset on the AppleTV which from what I have read doesn't really solve anything.
    So, please someone from Apple or someone with some detailed technical experience provide some guidance on whether there is a bug that got introduced, version issues between iTunes/AppleTV, or something else going that I haven't been able to figure out over the last 2 weeks.
    The only other unique things that may be different is that I have my iTunes library on an external drive (not on the internal drive). Does this many any difference?
    Thank You in advance to anyone that can help me get to the bottom of these issues. This started happening when I was totally sold on AppleTV and about to buy a second one.
    mmilford

    And it's good to know I'm not the only one with the problem too! I just cannot sync stuff from Mac to Apple TV without it locking up. It actually seems to lock the wifi also, meaning I have to quit iTunes, turn off the wifi and then turn it back on again. But as soon as I open iTunes, the same problem again...
    I've tried everything I can think of, searched all help articles, but cannot sort out this somewhat annoying problem.

  • Trouble with a new iPod video (and a question)

    My new iPod video is causing my computer to freeze when I connect it. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes. After that, it seemed to be going OK, but it only downloaded about 500m (of a total of 50g) before iTunes froze again and stopped downloading (of course the "Do Not Disconnect" icon on the iPod stayed there, but I had no choice but to disconnect it!).
    All of my music is on an external Seagate hard drive coming in through one of my USB inputs. The iPod is on the other USB input. Could this be part of the problem? I don't think it's a drive letter issue since it did start downloading the last time before freezing.
    Also, I'm wondering if I can use my old firewire cable from my previous iPod to speed up the transfer process once I actually get the thing working.
    Any help would be much appreciated!

  • 2 Ipods (video and nano) on one computer.  HOW?

    I have a video ipod and a nano. I am trying to get them to share the same library, but am not having any luck. Can anyone let me know how to do this. The video ipod was originally set up on a different library (windows). I de-authorized it, but it won't sync. Will I lose all existing purchased music/videos in the process?

    Each of you should create a separate playlist, with only the music you want.
    Then open iTunes prefs -> iPod and set it to Automatically update only selected playlists.
