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
Purchasing iOS 3.1 Software Update for iPod touch (1st generation)
https://buy.itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZFinance.woa/wa/touchLegacyLandingPage
Then try again.
To more easily find compatible apps for your iPod
iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
Vintapps 3.1.3 - paid app.
Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version.

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.

Synced Google Calendar with Ipod Calendar, but what about the other way?

Hello everyone,
I have a ton of appointments on my Ipod Touch calendar. I decided to sync them with a brand new empty Google calendar. I followed these steps I found on the web to add the Google calendar to the Ipod Touch:
Open the Settings application on your device's home screen.
Open Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
Select Add Account...
Select Other.
Select Add CalDAV Account.
Enter your account information:
In the Server field, enter [ google.com ]
In the Username field, enter your full Google Account or Google Apps email address.
In the Password field, enter your Google Account or Google Apps password.
In the Description field, enter the name you'd like to appear on the account.
Select Next at the top of your screen.
After you've completed setup, open the Calendar app on your device and syncing will automatically begin.
Now since that was done, new entries I add in Google Calendar show up on the Ipod Touch, but not the other way around. Is there a setting option I missed? I need to pre-populate Google from the Ipod first I asume.Thanks.

Unfortunately, the only solutions available require Outlook in order to work... The best, and the one I've decided on using, is SyncMyCal.com. There is a free version available that requires you to sync manually, but once you sync events into Outlook, you can sync them to your iPod touch.
With the 1.1.2 update for the iPod touch, which enables you to directly add events on it... you can set SyncMyCal to also publish events back to your Google Calendar.
I really wish this functionality was built in directly.
iTunes already supports syncing with Yahoo! Address Book... Considering how close Apple has been with Google as of late, it's hard to believe some sort of syncing plugin for gApps hasn't been introduced yet.

Help on syncing multiple calendars with iPod Touch 4g 64g

In our university, we use iCal with Blackboard. Also, our main *email* is Entourage - pretty sure it's the most recent version for Mac.
How can we sync the Entourage calendar with iCal, and be sure that they are all merged and 2-way functional for the iPod touch and laptops (I know for multiple computers we'll have to set up home sharing - for now let's just focus on the calendar syncing).
I have instructions for syncing Entourage with iPod Touch, and it's been recommended to use Google to sync with iCal (thanks llllass) but we don't want to use Google or MobileMe to get to iCal. iCal is already built into the iPod Touch, as I'm sure you know.
Any advice on how to make this super simple?
Thanks in advance.

My first suggestion is to try Stanza, as it is a much more configurable ebook reader. You can use the
Calibre (ebook management/conversion utility) to transfer ebooks from your computer to your iPod Touch.
<http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/30657/calibre>
Looking at iBooks on my iPod Touch, my font selection and font size are only present when I have an ebook open. If I tap the center of a page, the top edge of the screen has
Library | Table of Contents | Brightness | aA (font size, and font selection) | Search | Bookmark
Where the aA icon brings up a control that has a small a and a large A. If I tap on the large A, each tap increases the font size until it gets REALLY BIG. Tapping on teh small a reduces the font size for each tap.
Landscape lock. OK for the iPod Touch as a whole, you put the iPod Touch in the orientation you desire, then you quick double-tap on the home button. This will bring up a list of your running apps. Now slide the list to the right, and you will see music controls as well as on the far left a screen lock button. Tap the screen lock button to lock your iPod Touch in its current orientation. Unlock it later when you want your iPod Touch to be able to rotae again.
NOTE: Stanza as an ebook reader, it has its own configuration control that locks Stanza into a specific orientation, independent of the iPod Touch orientation or the iPod Touch orientation lock. Another reason I like Stanza.
Wallpaper. I think you can only change it to something else. Settings -> Wallpaper, then tap on the screen you want to change. Now select a different Wallpaper from either the Wallpaper selections, or anything in your Camera Roll, or your Photo Library.

Can not sync Planes movie with iPod Touch

I have recently purchased the Planes movie so my son can have it on his iPod Touch. It has downloaded to my iTunes account but will not sync with his iPod. I get the error message ( "Planes" was not copied to the iPod ... because it cannot be played on this iPod ) He has 5.83 GB free. I have tried different USB ports and hubs. We have been able to install multiple other movies and play them just fine.

Likely the version you download is too high resolution for the iPod.
Try going to the Purchased section in the iTunes store and see there a a version with less resolution available for download. Look for SD version.
iTunes: May be unable to transfer videos to iPhone, iPad, or iPod
\iTunes: Sync purchased HD videos to iPod or iOS device

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 iTunes folders with iPod Touch

Hi, I am curious if there is a way to sync my iTunes playlist folders with my iPod touch.
A friend with a year-old iPod Classic (forgive me for not knowing generation number...) is able to sort through his playlists with all of his folders included. It would seem to me that a later generation Touch would be able to do so as well. However, all I get is the standard alphabetical order of playlists, without all of my heavily nested and finely crafted folder hierarchies.
Any help would be fantastic.
Thanks.

You are not alone! I've just bought a 2nd gen iPod touch as an upgrade from a 160GB classic, and have discovered to my horror this very problem - rather than having 100+ smart playlists nested in folders properly and referencing one another, when sync'd to the touch, they all break because there are no folders.
It's a seriously bizarre retrograde step - and a quick Google brings up other people who have come across the same problem; perhaps Apple have different teams of software developers for each of the iPod lines, and it takes a while to get consistent functionality? In any case, it's a really useful feature that I really hope makes it into an update soon - without it, my iPod touch is only really useful as a PDA/portable games console... and I may have to carry on using my classic to play my music

How soon are they going to fix the problems with iPod Touch IOS 6?

I'm using iPod Touch 4G with IOS 6. I didnt noticed the crashes problems until now. I am having a problem with IOS 6. I've read about the App store problem with crashes that everybody complaining about somewhere in community forum. But there are more problems with IOS 6. I noticed that my iPod touch downloading take FOREVER when I'm using WiFi. I had no problem downloading or using apps with IOS 5 with WiFi and running FASTER THAN IOS 6 but now with IOS 6 it TAKES FOREVER to downloading and apps crashing and running VERY SLOW. I noticed that some my apps are crashing too. When I use Twitter for a while and then it crashed again and again. What is going on? I know there is a bug but why arent they fix the problem sooner. now it have been 7 days that should solve the problem by now. why is taking sooooo long? PLEASE FIX THE PROBLEM ASAP.
Thank you,
SsnGrysn

I'm having exactly the same problem , most apps I go into start to crash , starting to get really annoyed now , I hope they fix this soon kuz I feel like throwing my ipod touch at a wall if it crashes again

Sync Google Contacts with Entourage - Mountain Lion

Use Cobook and Google Contacts to sync contacts to my MacBook, iPad, and Android phone. Love it. Problem is how to get Google Contacts to sync with Entourage. Before I upgraded to Mountain Lion, I used Address Book sync and it worked fine. Since the upgrade, not working. Anyone have ideas that can help?

Can't you export Google contacts as vCards > place on microSD in Asha 501 > Copy contacts > Import to phone > Files > Search for file where it has been saved on your device, and then choose it. You will get the message “Start importing contacts to your phone?” hit ‘Yes’.

How do I block a contact on iPod touch (iOS 6.1.6)?

The contact is blocked on my iPhone, but I still get the messages on my iPod touch. I can't find an option to block the contact, I've gone through settings, contacts, and messages and can't find any block option. In the past I was also getting them on my computer, but no longer am. Is there a way to block the contact since it is an older iPod?

No, call blocking came out after iOS 6.1.6.

ICal Syncing Wrong Times with Ipod Touch or iPhone - Everything 2 Hours Off

Every setting is uniform across all devices (timezones, etc) and yet iCal on my iPod touch or iPhone lists my scheduled events 2 hours earlier than what I inputed on my computer. The iCal calendar on Snow Leopard is correct, but my synced devices are not.
What gives? This is a HUUUGEEE issue for someone that uses their schedule book to get through each day. iCal is TOTALLY UNRELIABLE with this issue.

I have almost exactly the same problem. The ical on my macbook has the correct times, but on my ipod touch all events appear one hour earlier. Both devices are set to Geneva time, and the time displayed on them is the same.
This is really annoying as I am about to set off travelling, and was just going to take my touch for schedule - now I either have to pack my macbook or do everything the good old fashioned pen and paper way.
Can anyone help?

Syncing new itunes with ipod touch already loaded

i upgraded to windows 7 after vista packed it in. i backed up all my data but not my itunes library as i thought syncing would take care of it as it is all on my ipod touch. i downloaded itunes but have been told that if i connect my ipod touch to syn with this newly downloaded version of itunes i will erase everything on my touch. what do i do?
Pamela

Hi There-
That is what I do. iTunes is the only program up and running. I let it update and bring in new podcasts if applicable. After it is all done, then I plug in the touch and the first thing it does is a backup, and that is what takes forever !!! (LOL). I walk away and about an hour later, it is still backing up. Once it goes to the actual sync part, it is fine, but the backup is the worst. If anybody has any tips, I would welcome them.
Thanks Much- Doug

How do I sync Google Contacts with my Mac Address Book?

Greetings all,
I use Google Contacts to store and manage all of my contacts; this way they are always the same on my iPhone and iPad. I would like to have them synchronized with my Address Book on my MacBook Pro. Is there any way to do this?
I did setup the Goggle sync in the Address Book preferences, however nothing happened. Meaning, no sync occurred...
Thank you,

Can't sync music library with iPod Touch

I gave my iPod to my son. He erased my music library and put his on. He gave iPod back. I erased all his music and tried to reload my music library. I updated iTunes from Apple website. Could not successfully transfer ANY music.
I searched through discussions and found some suggestions. I restored iPod to original settings, removed everything.
Apps I originally had on the iPod and some new ones synced beautifully. Music library would not. Unclicked manually managed iTunes. Unclicked Sync all iTunes in library. Clicked APPLY where applicable. Uninstalled iTunes on PC and reinstalled. iTunes will not sync.
I cannot put a checkmark on all songs in the library. The checkmarks will only go so far down and then quit. There are too many to do that manually.
it has 59.42 GB capacity, 4.3.1 software version.
So what do I do to syn my music library? And what are the exclamation marks appearing to the left of the column for check marks? Sometimes they appear and sometimes not.
I would appreciate any help you can give me. I am at my wit's end. Thank you.

Can't sync google calendar with iPhone 5 iOS 7

I am having problems syncing my google calendar to my iPhone 5 iOS 7. Contacts and mail work fine...calendar not so much. Any assistance would be helpful.

JesusRamirez,
The EOS Remote App version 1.1.0 that you can download from the App Store should be compatible with your iPhone 5S. Your inability to connect may be caused by something else. In order to determine what that is, I need some additional information.
Are you unable to interface with the camera using the Remote App or are you unable to make a network connection with the camera?
Do you receive any errors when you try to connect?
When you set up the network connection between your iPhone and your EOS 6D, did your iPhone see the EOS 6D's network?
