ToDo's -- Why aren't they in iCal on my iMac and my iPod Touch?

To anyone that will listen at Apple...
I’ve been a devoted Apple user for years. I’ve owned 2 different palm pilots and did the best I could to sync them with my Mac (Palm Desktop, The Missing Sync) -- though always with only limited success.
I’ve always longed for the day Apple would come up with the perfect portable device that could flawlessly sync with my desktop. And after a very long wait, I have finally bought the iPod Touch -- thinking it would be everything I’d always hoped in terms of ease of use, synchronization, and all around perfection! Now, I do indeed believe that my new Touch can do anything -- it blows the buttons off of my old Palm device... BUT... why in the world would the desktop version of iCal, which holds all my very precious and plentiful ToDo’s, not perfectly sync with my Touch’s “Calendar” app so that it includes everything right where it deserves to be??? Why isn’t it just “iCal”??? I understand (after much searching) that apparently (and confusingly!?!) I can have my iCal ToDo’s sent to the Mail app on my Touch... if I have an IMAP email account... which I don’t... but why would you guys set it up that way in the first place?!? Everything else you’ve created is so elegant, so intuitive. What good are To Do’s to me in a mailbox? I’d like them right where I have them on my iMac!?! A beautiful little checklist...
Since last year, I’ve been looking at all sorts of “To Do” apps, pouring through reviews, hoping for something great to be there. And I could choose one... and I could use it, but... why in the world do I have to???
I guess this is less of a question and more of a request for the creators of the OS X and the iPhone OS, but could you please, PLEASE make these two wonderful calendars work together, in EVERY way? Could you make them sync wirelessly too? Could you update these two platforms together, and make this work for those of us that really deserve to see this major oversight corrected? I’ve read other’s comments on this subject, and it confounds everyone that it affects... in my mind, it’s simply so... un-Apple of you!
Don’t make it cost anything, and don’t make me wait long either -- this should have been correct from the start. I will consult with you and help you understand the problem better, if that’s what it takes. But please just get this one little HUGE thing right. For me, and everyone that loves everything Apple!
Thanks!

totally agree. I ended up buying 3rd party to do list software, which I then have to synch via wifi with my desktop imac. Why couldn't a ToDo list be built into the ipod?

    It's not clear from your post, but you do realise
    that if you import a cd as a compilation, it will not
    appear under artists? This is done to save the iPod
    being cluttered up with single artists entries who
    might have only one song listed.
    I wasn't aware of that. It's true that I haven't been using the "compilation" tag for a long time. I've only started using it with iTunes 7 as otherwise with Coverflow I would have one album cover for each artist in a compilation. Before that my compilations weren't tagged as such as that is quite probably why each artist from compilations showed up when browsing by artists.

  • I was wondering why the iPhone 5 has the option for a battery percentage and the iPod touch 5g doesn't? I mean... they are almost both the same thing... just the iPod does not have the phone.

    I was wondering why the iPhone 5 has the option for a battery percentage and the iPod touch 5g doesn't? I mean... they are almost both the same thing... just the iPod does not have the phone.

    One likely reason is the % battery is not that accurate because of the smaller battery capacity in the iPod compared to iPhone and iPad. Users why use a % battery app post that the % reading changes a lot.

  • Why does the apple logo randomly pop up on my new ipod touch 5g??

    why does the apple logo randomly pop up on my new ipod touch 5g?????

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    iOS: How to back up your data and set up as a new device
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears your iPod is defective.

  • I have two iPads and one iPod Touch and they are using iTunes on the same computer.

    I have two iPads and one iPod Touch and they are using iTunes on the same computer. I have not been able to backup the second iPad. Is there a reason this is happening? iPad one is an iPad 1 and the second is an iPad 2 not sure if this has something to do with it. I just tried to upgrade to IOS 5 and when it went to back up it gave me an error code (-5000). I tried to back up using iTunes and it told me that my backup was corrupted and to delete it and try to back up again. When I went into the device portion where I was instructed to go to delete the backup I found that there was no backup for my iPad just the iPad 1.
    I have synced many times and all of the apps, podcasts, music, etc... show up in iTunes, and iTunes recognizes that is is the second iPad but there is not a backup for it.
    Any Ideas?

    In iTunes 11 go to View>Show Sidebar.  You can then view you phone as you could with previous versions.  To register your phone go to https://register.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/GlobaliReg.woa.

  • Why won't any of my music will transfer to my iPod touch with iOS7?

    None of my music will transfer since updating iOS7. I had to do a software restore to even get the thing to sync the song titles, but not be able to play them. That's basically the whole purpose of an iPod, right? Music? Anyway, I refuse to do a firmware restore again.  I should not have to do that everytime I want to put music on my iPod. iTunes just sits there telling me that it's "waiting for changes to be applied." Well, I've come across calculators that operate faster than this thing.  It has been this way since noon EST.  The most frustrating part about this is that I have paid Apple, Inc. literally thousands (2) of dollars for a MacBook Pro and an iPod Touch 5. Soooo, yeah. iOS 6 and iTunes 11, worked awesome, best sync ever. iOS7 and iTunes 11.1? What the what happened and how do I fix it? And don'y say device restore, I will sooner donate it to the trash bin.

    I spent forever today looking for this same answer.  VERY frustrating.
    What I did was this:
    In General Settings>go to RESET> Reset Network Settings.
    Wait for the device to reboot as it disconnects and resets your router connection.
    Then Reconnect to your wifi by using your password.
    WORKS.
    I had to reset my iphone 4s, my children's ipad minis AND my ipad 4.  Not impressed but it was the only thing that worked and at least it was fast.
    Not sure why this happens, and thinking that whenever my router updates I will have to do this to them.  My husband's iphone 5 was unaffected however.  So weird.
    Hope this works for you!

    Why can´t i use face time call with on my ipod touch with ios6

    iTech, First change your apple password, than go to 'setting' and than click on 'Facetime' and make sure your facetime email is right than retry. Also calling apple support can help you or the best way is to go down to the apple store for direct help. I really hope that what i have told you have helped and try to reset your iphone.
