iTunes & Calendars/Contacts - gone from ipod After Snow Leopard install

Didn't work for me. The search/wait continues.

I tried this, but it didn't work for me either. Then I inspected the script and found it had another option that sounded like doing what I wanted, so I ran both:

/System/Library/Frameworks/SyncServices.framework/Versions/A/Resources/resetsync .pl push com.apple.AddressBook

/System/Library/Frameworks/SyncServices.framework/Versions/A/Resources/resetsync .pl push com.apple.iCal

from the terminal and plugged in the iPod. Voila. It warns about possible data loss if some other client has registered schema extension. I don't know what that means exactly, just make sure you have your AB and iCal data backed up before trying this.

Finally!
Work for me also.
Thanks.

Excellent!
Fixed the iCal sync on my nano 4G finally.

Thank you Denis!

Didn't work for me, either for Contacts or iCal.

I'm on Snow Leopard 10.6.1, iTunes 9 and have a 120 GB iPod classic. It was OK with Snow Leopard 10.6 and the last iTunes 8 version. So I don't know if the problem is with the Snow Leopard update or iTunes 9.

Didn't work for me and created a need to repair my Mac with the Snow Leopard install disc!

Please be careful before trashing those Address Book files... I had put them on my desktop, just in case, but restoring them in their original location did not correct the problem and I had to repair with the Disk Utility from the DVD.

And I still can't sync my Contacts and iCal on my iPod. Hope a future iTunes and/or Snow Leopard update will fix this problem because it is annoying not to have those data when moving around with the iPod.

I strangely find that after every sync of my iPod nano via iTunes I only have about two or three of my contacts on my iPod or no contacts at all (due to the "lack of space" my iPod reports). But after a reset of the iPod (Hold on and off, then pressing Menu + Center Button) every contact that should be there is there.
Have you tried this? Do you get a similar result?

I'm having this problem with my iPhone 3gs. I had no problems with iTunes 8, but now I can't sync iCal, contacts and Safari bookmarks. I'm also getting error messages. Is anyone else getting those about appleMobileDeviceHelper and dataclass errors with sync services?

My issue has also been escalated up to engineering. We'll see.

Thank you!! I've been looking for a solution to this for days, wasn't sure if the upgrade to iTunes 9 was the culprit, the upgrade to Snow Leopard, or a combination of the two. Self induced introduction of too many variables made troubleshooting very difficult - lesson re-learned (yet again).

Regardless, iPhone contacts and calendars syncing problems resolved after running the two scrips you supplied.

After opening the terminal application and typing:
/System/Library/Frameworks/SyncServices.framework/Versions/A/Resources/resetsync .pl push com.apple.AddressBook

/System/Library/Frameworks/SyncServices.framework/Versions/A/Resources/resetsync .pl push com.apple.iCal

What do you do then?

Hit return after entering each line. Then launch iTunes and connect your iPod and try to sync the calendars and contacts.

NOTE: Running those 2 scripts did not work for me at first, but iTunes was open the first time. After Quitting completely out of itunes and running the scripts again, when I started iTunes up it worked just like it used to. Thanks for all your help everyone!!

Thanks a lot, that made my day!

I entered the two lines in the terminal and now it works again!!!

I can finally sync my contacts and calendars.

I have my contacts and calendars also sychronized with Entourage, MobileMe and my cellular phone: everything works but I have the iPod issue (cannot sync contacts and calendars). Running the 2 scripts can be harmful for my other synchronizations?
Thank you.
