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.

If you look at the 2 scripts, all they are doing is resetting sync for iCal & contacts, so running them shouldn't affect your other synchronizations in any way.

Didn't work for me, either--tried several times. I'm using an iPod Nano 16GB, with 3.6GB free space.

I tried the scripts but it didn't work for me. My 120 GB Ipod Classic still doesn't see my contacts and iCal calendars. After running the scripts I had to fix duplicate entries in iCal and in the Entourage Address Book.

Have tried all the fixes listed here with no success. Anyone else been unable to resolve the issue with the file modifications and Terminal commands?

I'm in the same boat.

I tried the scripts as well to no avail. I then tried closing terminal after entering each script, then starting up itunes after each closing of terminal. This worked perfectly. Hope this helps.

My iPhone was OK and I have problem with my two iPod(3th gen and 5thgen).

After trying the terminal solution, and plug my iPhone first, the problem is solve on my two iPod.

Thank.

no calendars, no contacts and the scripts didn't work for me… 😟

Trashing address book files, running scripts did not work for me either.
Nano 3g. iTunes 9.01. OS X 10.6.1

I just installed iTunes 9.0.2. Still can't sync contacts/calendar to my 3G ipod. Come on Apple, what gives!?

Same story here. After installing 9.02 I still cannot sync my 5th Gen iPod. The install notes implied that the problem had been fixed but the result is the same.

I was really hoping Apple would have read these complaints and fixed the bug for the newest version of iTunes. But after I upgraded today and re-synced my iPod, I saw no change. Contacts and calendar still don't sync. I don't know why Apple is letting this fester... I really don't want to go back to carrying a Palm Pilot for addresses and a date book, when I used to have that on my iPod!

Just want to tell, that for me it's working again…

After trying out a lot (including the scripts), and giving up it works again.
Haven't done anything, so no hint for those who still have the problem.

Ok, doesn't fix the problem, but some workarounds:

Contacts: in Address book, select all the cards you want on your iPod, and Export vCard from the file menu. This creates a vCards file (on the desktop if you like). Copy this into the "Contacts" folder for you iPod, as seen in Finder (I imagine you'll need "enable disk use" ticked for your iPod). Put the old iSync.vcf somewhere safe if you don't want to trash it.

Calendars: similar. In iCal export each calendar you want on your iPod individually, and then copy them into the "Calendars" folder on the iPod.

Must be possible to automate this, but I can live with it for the time being...

Installing Snow Leopard 10.6.2 update and resync of my iPod finally fixed the problem for me after weeks being unable to sync new contacts/calendars. It's about time!
