Syncing iCal To-do list with iPod touch

I can't figure out why my to-do list in ical won't sync with my ipod touch. I am new to the world of imac's and apple, but what am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance for any help you guys can give me.

Maybe M3dik knows something I do not here, but as far as I can tell one cannot sync Tasks/To Dos with Apple software. Yes, it is surprising that they would leave this out.
I use the free version of To Do (To Do Lite) from the App store, which suits my needs for now. It will only handle 10 items in the free version, but when you delete one, you get another added when you sync.
I mention it in Apps on my iPod touch. See the bottom comment from me.

How Do I sync Ical from my Mac to Ipod Touch with Icloud?

I just set up Icloud to work with syncing my desktop Mac to my Ipod Touch.
I have set up my years of appointments on to my MAc on Ical.
I like to know how to transfer all the information from Ical on Mac to my Ipod Touch, Calendar app.
I do not want to input all the information all individually again on Ipod.
Can someone give me precise instructions on how to do this? thanks

Did you try to delete the photo cache? iTunes: Understanding the iPod Photo Cache folder
Any error messages during the sync process? Does the progress bar stop at a certain point?

Trouble syncing MS Outlook 2011 calendar with iPod touch

I use MS Outlook 2011 on my iMac for email, contacts and calendar. The Outlook calendar is syncing fine with iCal, which I know it has to do first since the iPod & iCloud will not sync directly with Outlook (go figure, MS & Apple still haven't figured that **** out!) It seems like every since I updated to the latest version of iTunes and iOS 6.0.1 on my iPod touch, the calendar is no longer syncing properly? I've checked all the settings in iTunes and on my iPod itself and there doesn't seem to be any reason why its not syncing? Do I need to update the iOS to 6.0.2? Or is there some other little hidden setting I've missed?

@ Sambal:
My OSX is 10.7.5 Lion. I just gave up and decided to go back to Mac mail, iCal and contacts. I'm guessing the issue has something to do with the way iCal handles sync data from Outlook? Or perhaps the other way around? I did 2-seperate tests where I created a calendar event in Outlook and iCal. On the Outlook test, it synced to iCal, but wouldn't get pushed to my iPod touch calendar? (running iOS 6.0.1)
On the iCal test, it pushed the new event to my iPod within seconds! Also, when I created a calendar event directly on my iPod, that too would sync back to iCal within seconds as well. But not back to the Outlook calendar. It still amazes me that even today MS and Apple still have issues like this? I don't mind using Mac's programs, I just don't like how they have them all as 3-seperate running programs.
I prefer Outlook's all-in-one interface. I think Apple's software engineers need to do a complete makeover!

Can't sync items in iTunes library with iPod Touch

I've purchased items from the iTunes store, but have been able to transfer them to my iPod Touch. Whenever I try I get a message that says that 2 of my items could not sync. How do I get these items onto my iPod Touch?

That's because those items were purchased with other accounts.

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.

Video podcasts no longer sync with iPod Touch

I am using latest version of iTunes 10.1.1 (4) and latest os 10.6.5 on MacBook Pro with iPod Touch (gen 3). I subscribe to a video podcast and in beginning it worked, but for last 2 months though they download into iTunes and I can watch them, they are either not syncing to my iPod or I cannot find them. Before they were in Podcast list along with audio podcasts.

Yeah I noticed some videos we'rent syncing to my iPod 5th Gen now that I switched to Mac, and reformatted my iPod, and was reminded that some items wouldn't transfer. These were certain podcasts, as well as a HD TV Show Episode. (I thought HD TV show purchases came with a SD version for iPod, but maybe it got lost in the transfer or I deleted it sometime)....but WHATEVER:
If you want, you can convert any video file to a format that fits iPod/iPhone, or even iPad/Apple TV, here's how:
Select the video item(s) you wish to make a compressed version for, and click ADVANCED on the menu bar. Then select "Create iPod/iPhone Version" or "Create iPad/Apple TV Version" depending on what you are syncing too. If these options are greyed out, it means it is not necessary to do this as those devices already can support the file as is. iTunes will then convert, and presto, you have a copy which will go onto your device!

Outlook 2010 Syncing With iPod Touch and iPad

I have a PC with Outlook 2003 that sync’s with iPod Touch and iPad. I plan to buy a new PC with Windows 7 and Outlook 2010. Comcast tells me they don’t support Outlook (They support Outlook Express) but Outlook 2003 currently works fine on my PC with Windows XP. I have the following questions:
- . Is there an alternative to Outlook 2010 that will sync with my iPod Touch and iPad?
- Will Outlook Express sync with my iPod Touch and iPad and is Outlook Express still available?
- What is Microsoft Exchange?
Thanks for your help. LCP

Just look at page 26 of the new US) users guide. It specifically says that the iPad syncs with Outlook 2010 (as well as 2003 and 2007). However, Comcast's mail help page only lists OL 2000, 2002, 2003 and 2007.

I just purchased a new ipod touch so now I have two. I do not want the second ipod touch to sync the same as the old ipod touch - 2 people with 2 different music preferences. How do I keep them separate.

I just purchased a new ipod touch so now I have two. I do not want the second ipod touch to sync the same as the old ipod touch - 2 people with 2 different music preferences. How do I keep them separate.

These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
Method 1
Backup the library with this User Tip.
Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
Method 2
Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
Note if you have iOS devices and haven't moved your contacts and calendar items across then you should create one dummy entry of each in your new profile and iTunes should merge the existing data from the device.
If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library or a backup then then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

TS1702 I recently purchased several apps that will not sync with iPod touch. Of 5 apps, three won't sync. Computer is authorized, I've reinstalled apps, nothing works. Any ideas?

I recently purchased several apps that will not sync with iPod touch. Of 5 apps, three would not sync. I updated all software, checked authorizations, and reinstalled the apps -- no luck. Any ideas?

All the apps state they are compatible w/ my model iPod Touch. No restrictions are set that would prevent syncing. Seems like I might have had a similar problem a while back with one app but can't recall the solution -- it was something simple.

HT1351 I'm trying to manually sync all my music to my iPod touch, but whenever I click the sync button it counts to 5 then stops. Is this because I have to check all 3055 songs individually? If so then I'm quitting with apple as a whole....

Sync and manually manage are two entirely different things. You either sync or manually manage.
Manually manage is drag and drop.
Sync is when you select what you want and then sync.

I cannot copy or sync any songs/ albums to my ipod touch 64gb. Have no problem with my ipad and iphone.

I cannot copy or sync any songs/ albums to my ipod touch 64gb. Have no problem with my ipad and iphone.

Tried both methods you have mentioned previous many times without success - to answer your questions
What exactly happens when you try to sync?
Nothing is copied
Does iTunes see the iPod?
Yes
Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
No
Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
Yes - just once when I first got it
If so have you done anything like update iTunes on the computer since it last successfully synced?
Yes computer os has been updated, I think
Do the songs play in iTunes?
Yes, on my computer and on my ipad and phone
Does any media now sync to the iPod?
Yes, synced my iPhone first, this morning
Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?
Tried every combination imaginable, including the settings that I had when syncing my iPhone this morning.
Hope this helps - it's a real pain.

I am using new laptop with ipod touch and have downloaded i.tunes. in the past i.tunes showed all the tracks on my old i.pod. I can't seem to find the i.touch library to change or delete music. What am I not doing?

I am using a new laptop, windows 7, with ipod touch, hoping to listen to, whilst on line, edit and add music to my ipod library. I have downloaded i.tunes but it does not show my library. I know I have repeats to delete too but cant see anything, It does recognise that there is a body of music with the indication bar at the bottom., but does not list anything. Help

I attempted to back up my old iPod, but in File - Library - back up to disk, it's asking for 15 disks! I can't just back up to the PC/ext HDD that I can see.
That backing up your iTunes library, not your iPod. You can backup up your library by:
iTunes: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive
First you have to get Itunes to see the iPod. See the following. Notupdating your iPod iOS has nothing to do with it.
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
You can transfer iTune spurchases from the iPod to the computer by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
You can also redownload iTunes purchases by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer.
For other music yo will need a thrid-party progtam like one of those discussed here:

Downloaded podcast with ipod touch 2g showing like video

Hello.
I have ipod touch 2g. When i download audio podcast with ipod touch its showing like it is video podcast. After connecting ipod touch with PC all ok showing like audio podcast. What could be wrong? Sorry if i posted in wrong place.
Thanks

I already have the Radio Tiesto episode 110 on my Touch (2G), it does not show as video and when I started it running, it played as audio only, as I expect. So why yours should show as video, I've no idea. Episode 80 of the "State of Trance" is no longer showing up in iTunes, so I'm currently downloading ep81, which looks as though it is an audio file. I'll post again if I discover it's not. I already have ep77, but that's on my Classic. However, in iTunes it shows as audio.
So, I've no idea why this should be, although as you noted, it only happens when you download directly onto the Touch. Perhaps you need to report a bug via feedback, sorry, I can't find the page to link to at the moment.
The best workaround for now would be to subscribe in iTunes, let iTunes download them when you are there (but you can set iTunes to automatically download when you are away) and then Sync episodes.

Cannot sync my iPad mini or my iPod touch. I have never had problems in past. Last sync, Jan. 2013

Cannot sync my iPad mini or my iPod touch. I have never had problems in past. Last sync, Jan. 2013. Have done diagnostic on both with itunes as it does recognize them and they comes up clean. Where do I go from here?

The music should be on your syncing computer. Just sync the music to the iPod.
You can redownload iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
However, the music and movie redownload is only applicable to the USA with the latest iTunes since iCloud (beta) is now available in the USA.

Download problem with iPod Touch January software update

Hi, some problems with the software update. Please advise
- Ipod Touch user from australia
- went for holidays in malaysia for a while and purchased the software update via itunes australia
- The download did not start but i was charged $25AUD
- Returned to australia, attempted the download again but failed because itunes stated that the update has already been downloaded.
- Attempted to update the iPod Touch by clicking on "Check for Update" but software has already been updated to the current version (1.1.3).
- The new applications did not appear on iPod Touch.
Thanks in advance!

Hi pdra05,
Do you manually manage your music?
iTunes has to sync to unlock the January software, manually manage music has to be deselected.
Make sure your content on your ipod is backed up before sync.
