Tying to synch iPod touch

Does anyone know how to synch iCal on my macbook pro with the calendar on my iPod touch... I have followed about 20 different step by step guides and everytime I think I must have sorted it, it fails... Everything else seems to work seemlessly with hardly any IT skills needed, but this reminds of the old days when you needed to be an IT expert to set up an email account.
Also I can't set up an iCloud clendar on my powerbook - do I need to upgrade to Lion for that?
Going nuts here

Actually, we also plugged in our ipod Nano, and all the songs on it were uploaded onto the new itunes library and had no problem with the Nano.  However, when it came to the ipod touch, well, as you can see we've had issues.  I didn't want to have to restore the device if not needed.  It sounds like we need to synch ipod touch with our original PC itunes library.  Thanks IIIaass!

  • Silly question re: synching ipod touch 5g to itunes!!! (avoiding crashes/freezes) .

    Hi All,
    In order to prevent crashes/freezes when syncing an ipod touch 5g to itunes, does all of my music library have to be in mp3 format or will a combination of AAC and mp3 tracks be OK? I'm new to this apple thing and want to get it right BEFORE I attempt any synching. Have searched the ipod user guide to no avail.  Many thanks......

    Thanks for quick response.
    Haven't even used the ipod yet (It's under the xmas tree - I know 'cos I had a sneaky peek!!!!)
    Want to avoid potential problems - it took me a while to figure out how to create mp3 CDs.
    So, no windows doesn't crash/freeze etc.
    Will check out the link though, just to be on the safe side before the ipod gets its first fire up.
    Thanks lllaass

  • Problem with synch ipod touch or ipod with itunes

    Can somebody help me. I seem to have a problem with itunes. I can synch all the apps on an ipod touch and all the pictures,but not the music.
    If I tried the same on a normal ipod, the same thing happened. If I uninstall all the itunes component on my laptop, will I loose all the apps for the ipod touch and all the music stored on itunes?
    If you can help thank you.

  • Synching iPod Touch

    I have never had a problem with the speed of synching with regard to my iPod Touch however recently is has been extremely slow.  For example, synching 250 songs used to take 15 minutes or so but now it takes hours.  Why would this have happened all of a sudden and how can it be fixed?

    why dont you try it? and unless you dont have USB ports on your computer wouldn't it be a stupid idea due to slower speeds?

  • I have purchased a few apps and after synching ipod touch disaster

    the other day i purchased 3 applications for my ipod touch. After I synched the ipod 1 app was working fine, 1 the app was on the ipod but would not work, and the last didn't synch at all. I have gone to the website and did everything they told me to do and then some and i am getiing more and more frustrated. Now they are trying to charge me for 2 apps that i dont have and i refuse to pay for then since not working

    - What are the specific app? Maybe they are not compatible? Have you tried deleting the ones that do not work? See the following for how to do that without being charged again:

    - You can also report the problem to APP/iTunes. First I would try going to the developer's website. That may have information.

  • OSX and Win7 synching Ipod Touch

    Hello,
    I've recently purchased a Win7 Laptop. I already own a Macbook on which I installed Itunes/Ipod Touch.  I installed Itunes on my Win7 Laptop and tried to synch with my Ipod Touch. I'm able to do it but it does not seem to put all of my Ipod Touch content on the Win7 machine. On the latter, its as if I'm using a completely different Ipod Touch or am considered a different user.
    Can an Ipod Touch work seamlessly using both platforms or do I have to choose one over the other ?
    Regards,

    You can manually manage music among different computer but you can only sync to one computer/one iTunes library.

  • Synching iPod Touch with iTunes latest versions messes up e-mail progams on the Touch; help

    Twice now in the past week I have synched my 64GB latest model  iPod Touch with the latest version of iTunes and it has completely messed up my e-mail programs on the Touch; I cannot get or send e-mails.    I have to delete the e-mail accounts and then add them back in so that I can receive and send e-mails.  What has caused this and how can I eliminate this from happening in the future when I sync?  Thank you for your help.
    carol

    Yes, I find it strange, too but it has happened both times I have synched the Touch in the past week.  iTunes was updated right before the first time this happened.     I have Verizon for my e-mail and it would not work on the Touch  but I was able to send and receive emails on my desk top.   It is frustrating to say the least to spend time deleting and then adding the e-mail accounts to the Touch.

  • Synching iPod Touch with new Mac

    Our old Mac died and and the files were not recoverable.  I have not synched my iPod Touch with the new Mac/iTunes.  I have heard synching will wipe my iPod clean.  Can I synch my iPod with the new Mac and keep my apps and music on both Mac & iPod?

    If for seom reason you have failed to maintain a backup copy of your computer, then you can transfer itunes purchases from your ipod to your computer. From itunes File>devices>Transfer Purchases

  • Problem with Synching iPod Touch

    Just picked up my iPod Touch today at a local Best Buy. And so far I love it. I love the web browser and youtube. But I have a big problem with syncing it. I spent 2 hours on the phone with the support only to find out I have to wait 3-5 days for a call back. It basically won't sync. It will try and do a couple songs then error out and say device is not connected or device and not be written or read from. Support could not understand the problem and neither can I. I have 2.0 USB ports too. I tried another computer and it worked fine. Anyone got a solution?

    Well then I'm all out!
    Hope you get it sorted soon.

  • Synching iPod Touch and iPod Nano without impacting each device...

    just purchased a 6th gen nano...want to have some songs on it and different songs on the iPod Touch without impacting how each device. Currently put some songs on the Nano. When i sync the iPod Touch, the songs I didn't select for the Nano is removed from the iTouch (wanted those songs to stay on the iTouch). Can this be avoided?

    I don't understand.  In iTunes, each device is set up independently.  If you connect both devices at the same time, they should each appear separately, in the iTunes sidebar under DEVICES.
    You can then set up each device to sync as desired.  There should not be any dependency between the devices.  Select one device, and over to the right, set up the Music tab (and other tabs) to tell iTunes how it should be synced from your iTunes library.  Then, do the same for the other device. 

  • I had apps from 2 different apple ids.  When I synched my ipod touch with my computer, I lost apps from other id.  It backed them up to my computer.  How do I access those apps and put them back on ipod touch?

    I had apps from 2 different apple ids on my son's ipod touch.  When I synched it to my computer, it backed the apps from other id onto my computer and deleted them from the ipod.  How do I find the apps and how do I put them back on the ipod touch?

    Apps can be re-downloaded, and you won't be charged again for a purchsased app as long as you use the same iTunes account to re-download the app that was used to purchase the app originally.
    All apps - all paid and free apps include DRM protection which is tied to the iTunes account that was used to download the apps. Apps cannot be transferred to or combined with another iTunes account.

  • After purchasing songs at the itunes store, ipod touch will no longer synch with the itunes library at all. Also a lock symbol is now on the ipod touch. How do I fix this

    After purchasing songs at the itunes store,  my ipod touch will no longer synch with the itunes library at all. It won't send the purchases to the device and it won't synch any other music to the device. Also a lock symbol is now displayed at the top of the ipod touch. How do I fix this.
    This was the first purchase I made.

    Are you following these instructions?

    Where is the lock icon on the screen?

  • How do i synch my pdf/books to my library. I was able to synch my ipod touch purchases by transferring them but can't figure out how to do my pdfs. Also why is my ipod picture greyed out-the one that lets my move the icons around.

    How do i synch my pdf/books to my Itunes  library. I was able to synch my ipod touch app purchases by transferring them but can't figure out how to do my pdfs. Also why is my ipod picture greyed out-the one that lets my move the icons around.
    I am afraid if i don't get the pdfs into my book library, i will lose them when i update to IOS 5-is that true?

    thank you-i have to check into the authorization and the account-i gave my husband my old ipod when i updated last year so both at one time have been on this computer but as it stands, it only comes up with my device when i plug into Itunes.
    i don't think i have any restrictions for installing apps although my normal way of doing it is to download from the ipod touch. i did find that all i had to do was right click on my device name and got the message to transfer my apps and then they showed up in my library. Also when i clicked the synch checkbox i was able to view the ipod touch picture without it being greyed out. after all that i was able toupdate to IOS 5 successfully except my videos and podcast, and pdfs  did not come over. This confuses me since i had dragged them over to my library to make sure that i had everything in my library and on my device. Not a big problem, since i just dragged them in itunes from my library to my device but sometimes i wonder if i understand the big picture:)

  • HT1386 I have IPod touch running iOS 5.1.1 and Windows 7 with iTunes 11.0.4.4. When I connect the IPod to my PC, iTunes recognizes it but before synching can get very far, it is interrupted by "charging not supported on this acc." Now what to do?

    I'm having trouble with the wi-fi synch for iTunes and would be happy if I could just synch by the USB cable. With the new iOS, the connection to iTunes seems to get broken every time the dreaded "charging not supported with this accessory" appears, which is only a few seconds into the synch. Since my PC is obviously not an Apple brand charger, IPod won't stop producing this message. Using the Dismiss button doesn't resolve the issue because synch has already stopped. It looks like the hardwire to PC option is now dead.

    - See:      
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    - Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
    - Try another charging source
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
