When syncing Contacts, does IPod Touch or MacBook Pro take priority?

- I want to sync my Contacts between my IPod Touch and my MacBook Pro. -
- A message says that my MacBook Pro contacts will be changed 5% if I proceed. -
- I want my MacBook Pro Contacts to override my IPod Touch Contacts, not the other way around. -
- Any advice on how to accomplish this? -
- Thanks. -

With the iPod connected to the computer go to the Info pane under the iPod (device). At the bottom there is an Advance section. That section includes the option (check boxes) to replace specific information on the iPod with that on the computer. Is that want you want?

Will not Sync Apps from iPod Touch to MacBook Pro

I have a MacBook Pro 17" running the latest OS and latest iPod Touch. When I tried to backup the iPod Apps to the MacBook I get the following errors. I have the de-authorized and reset the "iTunes/Store/Authorize This Computer" several times as suggested in several posts but still all I get is the following:
*Some of the purchased items on the iPod "XXXX", including Y! Messenger", could not be transferred to your iTunes library because you are not authorized for them on this computer.*
and
*To authorize this computer for items purchased from the iTunes Store, choose Store > Authorize This Computer.
This computer is already authorized. Including this one, you have authorized one computer out of your available 5.*
I'm stuck, I have done all this(de-authorized and authorized) several times, I can't upgrade my iPod OS, I can't save my iPod Apps using Sync to my MacBook and what I have found so far on posts leave this same result.
Suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

Could the items not transferring have been purchased under a difference iTunes account and thus you are not authorizing the the computer with the correct iTunes account?

How come my imsg is not syncing properly between iPod touch and Macbook pro?

My imsgs are recieved on my macbook and they used to be simultaneously sent to my ipod too. But now they don't show up as imsg notifications on my ipod, only macbook. When I click in the conversation on my ipod I see the new messages, but I only get a notification on my macbook. How do I fix this so that a notification pops up on both devices?

Sign out of iMessage on both devices, then sign back in.

Recently got a new iPod 4th gen; I had previously backed up to iCloud and subscribed to iTunes Match, and then wound up syncing the new iPod to my MacBook Pro; all iCloud tunes were downloaded to Mac but won't all sync to the iPod - any suggestions?

Recently got a new iPod Touch 4th gen; I had previously backed up to iCloud and subscribed to iTunes Match, and then wound up syncing the new iPod to my MacBook Pro; all iCloud tunes were downloaded to Mac but won't all sync to the iPod after multiple attempts, despite all songs showing properly on the Mac and multiple syncs occurring after all songs were properly reflected on the Mac. I updated iTunes Match from the iTunes Store menu as well pre-sync.
I should mention that I had previously had the library on a Dell (which is still running) and shared it on my home network. While all iTunes purchases now show in the Dell, the Mac is the device I use for all syncs.
There appears to be no rhyme or reason to the iCloud physical sync failure - some songs were legacy, some were purchased via the PC, some on the old iPod.
The Mac shows all the songs correctly and none show iCloud status -all have been downloaded, but the downloaded songs that were previously showing up as iCloud based aren't syncing to the iPod.
Is there any way to force all music being seen by my iPod as iCloud to download to so I can listen to them offline? Is there a way to force the sync from iTunes?

The "system" performed as designed. All devices syncing to one iCloud account are kept in common sync. The idea is that all such devices belong to one user. Different users should have different iCloud accounts. Once your contacts were edited, all devices were updated as well and subsequent backups (from yours and her device) reflected the changed contacts (and any other data that may have been edited like calendars). Your first task is to change your daughter over to a new account before she makes other changes.
The only way I see for getting back contacts is to restore them from a time machine backup, assuming you also have a Mac included in the account which syncs the contacts. However, I'm not sure whether time machine includes contacts from iCloud along with those that are local, "on my Mac".
Otherwise the deleted contacts are gone.

Copy photos from ipod touch to macbook pro?

I'm having the most incredibly difficult time trying to do this. When I connect my ipod touch (latest gen) to a windows machine, it opens up a folder with all the files on the ipod, including "camera" videos and photos. But when I hook it up to my mac, there's NOTHING. I can't even manually find a folder with the contents. I have screenshots and downloaded wallpapers on my ipod that I want to get out of the "downloaded" section, save onto my computer, and re-upload them to my ipod in the regular "photos" section.
Can someone please tell me how to do this? I tried to google it and all I got were "free trial programs" and stuff like that. -_-

How to sync Contacts from IPod Touch to IPad 2 set up as a new iPad, not iCloud sync?

My husband inherited my iPad 2 and set it up as a new iPad, so he could choose what he wanted on it. How does he sync his Contacts in his IPod Touch, without getting all the data he has stored in iCloud?

It is resolved!!!

Why do I lose some of my contacts when syncing my iPhone 4 with my MacBook Pro?

If I connect my iPhone 4 to my MacBook Pro using the lead a few of the contacts on my phone are wiped, but not on my MacBook. Text messages etc are still on there but it just states the number it came from not the person's name. Why does it do this? Why does it only happen to a few numbers? What do I do to stop it?!
Many thanks.

i think is because when you snyc for the last time you doesnt save your informations on your computer and, for one reason your Macbook Pro dellect all the thing who was not saved.. (its happening to me and, the losted information never will be back.. i'm sorry..) :/

I have the iCloud in my iPod touch and macbook pro but how come the music i purchased from iTunes doesn't appear in my other device?

i upgraded my macbook pro with the new Mac OS Lion and downloaded the IOS 5 with the icloud, then did the same with my ipod touch. So when I purchased a song from itunes using my ipod touch, how come it didn't appear in my laptop?

Did you restore the iPod using this iTunes library/computer?
Make sure that yo have the right boxes checked to sync the media
iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod
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.
- Unsync all music and resync
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

When I synch my iPod w. new MacBook Pro, laptop doesn't show which podcasts I've already listened to on the iPod. (My old MacBook did do that.)

I used to download new podcasts to my old MacBook, plug in my iPod, click the Synch button, and not only did the new podcasts get copied from the laptop to the iPod, but iTunes on my laptop would show which podcasts I'd already listened to, so it was easy to delete the old stuff, synch again, and the old podcasts would be gone from both the laptop and the iPod.
When I try to do the same thing with my new MacBook Pro (which I set up using the Migration Assistant to copy apps, including iTunes, from my old laptop), that doesn't happen: When I download a new podcast, plug in my iPod, and hit Synch, the new podcast isn't copied, nor does iTunes show which podcasts I've listened to since the iPod was plugged in the last time.
What used to be quick and easy is now cumberson and, because it's hard to remember which podcasts I've listed to and which I havened, error-prone!
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

The installer DMG will be in the Applications folder
I haven't tested this, but it seems somewhat at odds with this recent MacWorld article, which gives a method for "capturing" the Lion installer downloaded via the Recovery HD, and then creating a bootable installer volume from it.
Create a bootable Lion install drive for newer Macs
The article is meant for Macs that came pre-installed with Lion and therefore can't use the App store. The article describes a procedure to retrieve the Lion download not from /Applications but from a folder named "Mac OS X Install Data" which gets created at the root of the drive where Lion is to be installed. It's tricky, because normally that installer self-launches immediately after the download, and then deletes itself afterwards.
They distinguish this procedure from an earlier, simpler one that can be used if Lion gets downloaded via the App store - they reference an earlier article for that situation, which does involve retrieving the installer from /Applications. That method has been publicized in many places.
The inference for me was that the Recovery HD does not download anything to /Applications - otherwise the earlier procedure would work, and this new article would be unnecessary. As I said, thoiugh, I haven't tested anything.

FaceTime Failed: Calls between iPod Touch and Macbook Pro

when i try to place a call to someone who has FaceTime on an iPod Touch, she says she doesn't receive any calls and i get eventually get a "FaceTime failed" after a few rings. if the other party calls me (i'm using MacBook Pro with OSX Lion 10.7.1) and i answer, at first, it will say "Connecting..." then it will then show a "FaceTime failed". We both powered off our devices to no avail. Any ideas?

Somehow, it just fixed itself.

Ipod Touch and Macbook Pro Bluetooth problems (ISO4 related)

Hi all,
Before the update I wasn't having any problems, but now when I try to connect with bluetooth I can pair, but it won't connect. It says I don't "have the necessary services" for bluetooth. Any ideas?

I bought a Macbook Pro and ipod touch 3 weeks ago. I am shocked and disappointed to learn that i'm not able to connect these devices via bluetooth. Searching through forums and discussion pages I see that this is by design. I fail to understand why.
On more occasions than I care to comment I have defended Apple products against sceptical attacks that dismiss the company's innovation as pure hype and suggest the proliferation of its 'locked' and 'exclusive' features signal the rise of the 'new dark side'. I have been left with little argument to continue this defence.
I regret that I will seriously reconsider my next purchase of an Apple product.

2nd Gen iPod Touch, 2008 MacBook Pro OSX Ver. 10.5.8 - Any Point in iCloud?

I have a 2nd Gen iPod Touch, and a 2008 MacBook Pro OSX Ver. 10.5.8
I've used .Mac/MobileMe since 2008 and I have all of my documents on iDisk. If I upgrade to iCloud, what is going to happen? I know all of my stuff will be in the cloud, but will I be able to access it in any way with this equipment?
In short, is there any point in me upgrading to iCloud?
Thanks!

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You need Lion to run iCloud, if your MacBook can't be upgraded to Lion, it can't run iCloud.
ICloud does not replace iDisk, which you could continue to use until it is retired in June 2012 (with or without upgrading to iCloud)

Both Ipod Touch and Macbook Pro Stolen, how do I get the photos in my photostream back at least?

My house was burglarized yesterday and I lost my Macbook Pro and my 3rd gen iPod touch with many photos and videos on it. I did have the photostream turned on but the computer that it was linked to was stolen. I want to get these photos back if possible but since iCloud doesn't seem to act like an actual cloud service I can't seem to find a way to do that.
Can I set it up on another computer and get the last 100 photos I took without the IOS device?

Photo stream still stores you photos from the last 30 days (up to a max of 1,000), so all you need to do is connect to icloud with some device/computer, turn on photo stream and voila.

ITunes freezes when I connect my iPod to my macbook pro

Hello, has anyone else had this issue?
I have the newest version of itunes and have reset the iPod and everything else I can think of.
Thanks!

MB Pro has only one USB port that is compatible for iPod Classic operations like sync or restore. The other USB port is shared internally with other IO devices, like iSight, bluetooth, infrared resulting in slowing down the datarate, hence freezing the iTunes.
try to swap to the other USB Port after you disconnect and reboot your MB Pro.
Also dont use any other USB devices, while connecting an iPod Classic to the MB Pro.
MB Pro is ok with other Apple Mobile Devices like iPhone, iPad and newer iPod Touch with faster interface devices.
Have a nice day!
