Uploading Contacts/Calander FROM the ipod

Hi all,
Hoping someone can help me, been looking at the posts but can't find one that totally answers my question.
I have backed up all my contact and calander details to my ipod regularlly, though the other day I foolishly deleted them from ical and my phone in one foul isync swoop (thinking "whats the worst that can happen!!!). The contacts are on the mac still but... now the only copy of my meetings/social life/holidays (ical) on my ipod.
I have itunes set to auto update so don't want to plug in the ipod and see what happens (through fear it will update from the computer to the ipod rather than realise the ipod has all the info on and update the Mac) I saw a thread saying if you open the pref window of itunes then it will stop any sync'ing and auto updating to the ipod on a PC and wondered whether this was true for a Mac as well. Obviously I need a failsafe way that ensures I don't loose any data that currently exists on the ipod.
Anyone know of a way? Or am I going to have to re-type my whole life from the ipod???

Hi Mattster,
Enable disk use on your iPod, then look for your iPod in My computer, Double click iPod icon, Go into the DCIM folder on your iPod and all your photo's will be in there!

  • We are evaluating the use of iPod touch devices to record best practice videos on our manufacturing floor and to post to an internal Moodle web site. How can you upload a video from the iPod touch to a site other than YouTube?

    We are evaluating the use of iPod touch devices to record best practice videos on our manufacturing floor and to post to an internal Moodle web site. How can you upload a video from the iPod touch to a site other than YouTube? The Moodle upload interface is expecting a file selection dialog box like windows or OSX. I do not want to have to go through an intermediary step of messing with a pc.
    Thanks!

    It should be around 7 and a half gigs. In iTunes, across the bottom there should be a bar that show how much storage is being used and by what. (music, movies, apps, etc.) To make music take up less room, you can check the box to make it convert the music to 128kbps AAC. This lowers the quality, but with most earbuds and speakers, you can't even tell the difference.
    The iPod touch has parental controls built in. You'll find them in Settings. I think they only work for enabling/disabling Safari, Mail, YouTube, and App Store. Here's an app that does more: http://www.mobicip.com/online_safety/ipod_touch

  • Anyone know why uploads contacts disappear from the iPhone 5? Half of my number is suddenly gone, and this happens over and over again? Kata-*******-stroff! Grateful for answers?

    do you sync your contacts with an application in your computer? or use iCloud?
    I can't tell you why the contacts disappear but you can get them back without much hassle by syncing through iTunes with your computer.
    do you regularly make backups?  if so, you can restore your iPhone using the backups and get your contacts back in your iPhone.
    It is strange that half of your contacts are gone over and over again.  Do you have Groups that are unchecked in your iPhone?  If so, the contacts in those groups will not appear in your contacts list but they are in your iPhone and be recovered by re-checking the group name.

  • Can music from the ipod classis be uploaded to icloud? If so, can someone tell me how to accomplish this task?

    Hi Crystal,
    So I cancelled the first & only order I will ever make thru this company & want my account deleted.
    I can't get thru to anyone by phone or chat. Is there no other way to accomplish this?
    Sorry for this hassle. No, you need to contact them. What is the problem you are facing in contacting them?
    What happens if I sign out & just never sign back in?
    You might still get charged. Let me know if you still can't get through.
    Thanks,
    Kevin

  • ITunes doesn't provide the ability to upload media from the iPod/Iphone. Why is this and why can't it be a drag and drop option as windows

    iTunes doesn't provide the ability to upload media from the iPod/Iphone. Why is this and why can't it be a drag and drop option as windows

    Because Apple have designed it that way.
    It's actually against the (Apple) rules of this forum to speculate about Apple's decisions, so if perhaps you should ask your question on a more appropriate (non-Apple) forum. If you continue the discussion here, you could simply find that your post gets removed by the moderators.

  • How to get the contact photos from the address book on the ipod ??

    Hello !
    I figured out that it was available to sync the address book (on Mac OS)with the contact photos and find them on your ipod nano chromatic... But I have Windows and I can't make it work with Outlook. I can sync it with itunes and have the contact names and few infos but not the pictures, there is just a grey silhouette instead of the contact photo. Is there anybody that know how to get the contact picture on the ipod (with Windows OS) ?
    Thanks a lot in advance !
    Hyrekia

    Hooray !! I have found how to do it !! There is a new option now on itunes when you sync your ipod with outlook. You just have to check the box entitled "add the contact pictures". I'm not sure it was there before, but I did an update today !!
    I'm really glad !!

  • Just downgraded back to iTunes 10.7 and copied music from ipod classic to itunes using houdini, but how do i copy the playlists from the ipod when itunes says that my ipod has been synced to another itunes library?

    Just downgraded back to iTunes 10.7 and copied music from ipod classic to itunes using houdini, but how do i copy the playlists from the ipod when itunes says that my ipod has been synced to another itunes library?

    Thank you again for all of your help!! I really appreciate it!
    I think I am following -- I was able to upload to my iPhoto and all photos and videos are there that is a plus! I tried to create an Event in my iPhoto and put all of my photos in that event but for some reason, now my iTunes it not recognizing that Event in my iPhoto. It is not allowing me to import just that event at the moment but I may be doing something wrong. At least all of my pics and vids are in iPhoto so that is a plus and I know they are at least saved somewhere. Just for some reason, my iTunes it not locating the event that I created with only those photos.
    Thank you for letting me know about my contacts! How do I know if I have the contacts app?
    Also, I had no clue that my iCloud could be backed up via cellular data! However, is this a new feature with the most updated iOS?? Unforutnatly I am like 2 iOS updates behind because I don't have enough storage on my phone. I still get the notification that my phone needs to be plugged in and connected to wifi in order to back up to the cloud :-(
    How can I sync using USB? Right now when i click on the info tab for my iPhone in my iTunes this is the answer that I get -- I am a little unclear as to what it means.
    Sync Contacts:
    Your contacts are being synced with you iPhone over the air from iCloud. Over-the-air sync settings can be changed on you iPhone
    Sync Calendars:
    Your calendars are being synced with you iPhone over the air from iCloud. Over-the-air sync settings can be changed on you iPhone

  • How can i import my contact list from the Nokia Suite to my I phone?

    how can i import my contact list from the Nokia Suite to my I phone?

    Oscar, keep in mind that my suggestion could not be the best one.
    I have a copy of Nokia suite on my Windows XP partition on my Mac, just to test it.
    The second icon on the upper row explains as a syncronisation with Outlook.
    Try to do it and later you should use the iClod manager from Apple and Sync Outlook to ìiClod and to any iPhone iPod and so on.

  • Icloud merged my contacts & calander from 2 different phones.

    me and my wife have an iPhone 4 each, and we only have 1 iTunes ID that we share.  Yesterday when I updated to the new IOS 5 the iCloud system merged the contacts & calander from both phones.
    Is this because we both have the same ID for iCloud? if so how do I create a separte ID for her iCloud so that our phones won't sync with eachother?
    Thanks in advance.

    To stop this, don't use the same Apple ID on both phones for iMessage and FaceTime.  (You can continue to use the same ID for iTunes; it doesn't need to be the same as the ID used for iMessage or FaceTime.)
    On one of the phones, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with a different ID.  Then do the same thing in Settings>FaceTime.

  • All my contacts disappeared from my iPod Touch

    All my contacts disappeared from my iPod Touch!
    I was not syncing, I don't use the Cloud, I was just checking if i had any messages on Viber...
    All of a sudden, Viber didn't display any names any more, so I checked my contacts, and it just displays that my contacts are empty...
    Is there any way of getting them back?
    Thx for your answers!!

    Restore from backup. See the restoring topic of:
    iOS: How to back up
    If you restore from iTunes backup
    To help prevent the last backup from being overwritten and thus erasing the Messages from the last backup turn off autosyncing so that you have to overtly start a sync. To turn off go iTunes>Preferences>Devices and check the box that says "Prevent iPods...".

  • My iPod touch 5G has a problem with its back camera, there's a dark spot on picture quality and won't focus, it will only focus on things 5-7 inches away from the iPod. Could I go to apple and see if they can repair it or give me a new one?

    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.
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • How do you remove voice memos from the iPod after downloading it to iTunes?

    first of all, which model of voice recorder is best for the 5G video 30 gb iPod? I have heard of Griffin iTalk and Belkin Universal Microphone Adapter, but i'm leaning towards the iTalk b'c it looks cheaper on Amazon and eBay. does anyone suggest anything along those lines?
    and also, after recording voice memos (like class lectures and such) onto the iPod and downloading them to iTunes, how do i remove them from the iPod? do i have to make them a different program file (like windows media player, and not iTunes)?

    Hi King Arthur 2000,
    Voice memos can be shared back to a computer in a number of different ways, described in this article -
