Using calendar and syncing/backing up on laptop - help

Hi,
I'm a new ipod touch user. I've spent a couple of hours looking for the answer to my question but without any luck. I think its straightforward but I can't figure it out...can you help me?
Basically I want to be able to back up my calendar on to my netbook/laptop(the calendar that came with the ipod touch as shown on the 'home' screen).
I've downloaded itunes as I understood there was some calendar application on there but in the info tab is says "no calendar supported action can be found".
What do I do next?
I don't want to start to use the calendar without knowing I can back it up onto my laptop.
I hope some clever clogs can point me in the right direction! Thanks x

i'm not sure the difference between outlook and outlook express either, but yeah they do seem to be different. don't think you can just download it though, it's a microsoft office program, so if you have an office package you should have it on there (although i'm still using office 2000, which is too early for ipod syncing, need 2003 or later i think)
i havent looked too deeply into mobile me either, can you pay on a month by month basis? might be worth it if you don't have to plump for a long period at a time. especially to get to the summer and discover much more flexibility when 3.0 comes out. (not that i'm suggesting it definitely will, but its a possibility i strongly hope does come to fruition!)

  • I accidently hit the restoe button! Is there anyway i can get my apps and music back? I need help thanks

    I accidently hit the restoe button! Is there anyway i can get my apps and music back! I need help thanks:)

    Try restoring the iPod from backup. See the restoring section of the following:
    iTunes: Backing up, updating, and restoring your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch software
    If the apps and music are in your itunes library just sync them back to the iPod if necessary.  If the apps and music are not in your iTunes library see the following.  Not all options are available if you are outside the USA and do not have the latest iOS and iTunes.
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • I plugged in my husbands iphone 4 into my laptop and synced it to my laptop and phone with my apple ID. Now his phone has my email address and my name and my contacts on it! big booboo  How can I change it all back to him!?

    I plugged in my husbands iphone to my laptop and synced it to mine.  I used my own apple ID. Big mistake.  Now he has my name, email address,contacts etc on his phone and lost his... how do I correct this?

    You'll have to set up his mail account again. To change the name, follow this article: iTunes: How to rename your device
    After that right click on it in the device list and choose backup. A manual backup will be made, no sync process is included. When the backup is finished you should find it listed in iTunes/Edit/Preferences/Devices

  • Using Exchange and Sync for Contacts and Calendars etc.

    I recently bought and iPhone 3Gs and I sync it through my microsoft exchange service. Then when I connected it to itunes I accidently synced the same contacts and calendar through it. It basically created a seperate contact list and calendar on the iphone. So my question is:
    How do I delete the contacts and calendars on my iphone but not have it delete the contacts on my computer without resetting the iphone and loosing all my other files, music, pics, and data? I only want my exchange contacts and calendar on my iphone.
    Thanks,

    When you add an Exchange account and turn Calendar/Contact syncing, you are given the option of keeping the data currently on the phone, or deleting it. So, if you delete the Exchange account and re-add it, you should be able to choose the option to delete the content currently on the iPhone, leaving only the Exchange information.

  • The hard disc of my laptop has crashed and i lost all the data. Now I want to take back up of my I phone and transfer contacts , messages and music back into my laptop , how can I do that. Pl help

    The hard disc of my laptop has crashed and i lost all the data. Now I want to take back up of my I phone and transfer contacts , messages and music etc back into my laptop , how can I do that. Also let me know how I can transfer the contacts into Windows contacts from I phone. Pl help

    Your content will only be where you put it.  It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.
    You can transfer itunes purchases from your iphone: File>Device>Transfer purchases.
    You can import your pics taken with the iphone as you would with any digital camera.
    You can e-mail the other pics to yourself, they will never be of the original quality.
    You can out a unique contact and calendar entry on the computer.  You should get the option to merge the data when you sync.

  • MAC LION AND BOLD 9700 - Duplicating calendar and syncing issues

    I have a Bold 9700 (OS 5) and a Desktop Manager running on MAC (OS LION).
    My calendar on the MAC works perfectly, however on the device it appears duplicated several times (however the duplication is 15 minutes ahead and it also creates a "new event" 15 minutes ahead. Very wierd.
    I also have error on syncing calendar and tasks.
    On the device, the CICAL and CMIME  are XXXgmail.com 
    Do you believe the new calendar on Lion is not compatible with the device?

    Hey snhuch,
    Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
    I would suggest going to Device>Forget Device in BlackBerry Desktop Software.  Then close it down unplug the BlackBerry via USB, Plug it back in then open BlackBerry Desktop Software and setup the synchronization and test a few times.

  • I downloaded a ringtone from Itunes and apple owned company to my Iphone4 and then followed all the instructions sent to itunes on pc and synced back to iphone still got squat. Why does apple need to be so hard for something so simple.

    I downloaded a ringtone from itunes (an apple company) to my iphone4 (an Apple product). Followed all the instructions from "Help" boards, sent to itunes on my pc converted to m4r synced back to iphone and still got squat. I thought iphones and apple were supposed to be so user friendly? Any other phone you download a ringtone click on it "use as ringtone" and your done.

    Frank, thanks for your note.  I wrote "COMPLETED" because I had gone to a lot of effort to get the content of the book precisely as I wanted it. I would fully expect to see my level of effort and care matched by functional competence in Aperture 3 to render the book the way I created it.  Too much to ask?
    And yes, I upgraded the Aperture 2 Library first.  [Not ALL my tens of 000s of pix, because I use Lightroom selectively for photo editing. But Yes to the Aperture 2 Library.]  That step took a number of minutes, but seemed to work fine (no error messages of any kind).
    Then I opened the existing book project in Aperture 3, which followed some "magic-box" process that took a minute or so.  As I said, when that step was done, by all appearances the book was ready to submit for printing - until I examined the photos a little more closely.  You did see the blurry example I included, didn't you? That is what each and every photo looks like.
    Text-box content appears to have been rendered pertectly, for the record (including captions).
    So, ... is this result something you have heard of before?  Do you know of a one-step solution?  Or am I looking at an extended picture-by-picture fix?

  • Entering events in Outlook (2010/2007) calendar and syncing with iCloud

    Setup:   H/W and S/W:  1) Personal PC with Windows 7, Outlook 2010, 2) Work PC with Windows 7, Outlook 2007, 3) iPhone 5
    Created unique iCloud user ID (different from Apple ID) to permit use of individual calendar and contacts across all platforms without co-mingling of data (contacts etc.) with rest of family (who is under same Apple ID).  Works well.
    Installed iCloud on both PCs, enabled iCloud on iPhone, all using new unique iCloud ID
    My secretary creates events (as organizer) for me (as invitee) in her local Outlook calendar (on her PC) which appear on my work PC Oultook calendar.  These events also appear in my iCloud calendar on my work PC.  Good!  (FYI,  She uses her local Outlook calendar so she can invite others from work who are on same email system.)
    Issue:  As said before, events created by secretary appear in my local Outlook calendar and my iCloud calendar on my work PC but not on my iCloud calendar on my personal PC at home. Events created in iCloud on work PC do appear on personal PC, just not events created on local Outlook calendar at work.  Seems, if these events appear in iCloud in one place, they choudl appear in iCloud in all places...yes?  the cloud is the cloud is the cloud...is it not?
    Am I missing a step?  I have refreshed iCloud in all.

  • End of my tether trying to sync 4S after using remove and sync - help?

    Ok so this could have been caused by 2 things - firstly my dad managed to create a new library when he was trying to save a new folder for his photos to go into therefore I had to track down the new library delete it and then reimport our old library from our external hard drive. Since then my 4S keeps saying "erase and sync" which I have done numerous times and still can't sync to this 'new' (even though it's the one we were using three days ago) what can I do other than throw my phone at the wall lol.
    Strangely enough i did the erase ot remove whatever it an sync on my ipad 2 and it worked however im a bit scared to use it on my mums new 5 or ipad mini so I am waiting for some sort of help before trying it.
    Open to anything so even if it means restore to factory settings that's fine.
    But of course secondly it could be a iOS 7 issue which hasn't shown up till now.
    Oh and ps even though my iPad is synced it's suddenly decided to stick on the syncing screen

    CalenGoo and BusyCal get good reviews, and claim to keep the colours the same.  I haven't used them myself; I don't need that level of detail.  iCal on your Mac will sync with Google, but only in one colour, so far as I can tell.  
    If you can wait a few months, it will be interesting to see what iCloud is like.  Hopefully it should be seamless and invisible, like you'd expect.

  • WHEN I PUT AN MP3 INTO GARAGEBAND TO USE AS A SAMPLE THE SAMPLE CHANGES WHEN I SAVE AND COME BACK TO THE PROJECT, HELP!

    I am using An MP4 that I turned into an Mp3 as a sample on a song.   When I try to use the middle part of the file it just changes to another part of the track.  When I save the project and come back to it the sample is completely different than when I saved it. HELP!

    I believe you have to do Get Info on the file through the Finder (not thru iTunes...search for the track in the music folder on your hard drive) and you should see a toggle arrow for Ownership and Permissions. See if it says Read and Write.

  • Can I use iCloud and sync with my computer also?

    iCloud sounds promising BUT just to be safe, in addition to using iCloud can I continue to back-up via my computer & iTunes also?
    Thanks in advance... Bob

    Yes, you can sync contact and calendar information with iCloud if you're running Windows 7 or OS X Lion. You can back up you phone to iCloud or to your computer, but not both at the same time.

  • Updated iPhone 4 to new software. forgot to save the calendar. Is there a way to get my calendar and photos back?

    I updayed my Iphone 4 with the new software, but forgot to save my calender and photos. Is there any way to restore them?

    If you never backed up or synced the calendar or photos, there is no recovery you can do. The photos may still be on your phone in a hidden folder.  There are iPhone repair centers that may have software that can find them. Google.
