Some calendar events and contacts are duplicated on your iPod

iSync copies all of your Address Book and iCal information to iPod. Any calendar or contact information you copied to iPod yourself isn't affected by iSync, which may create some duplicate entries.
Duplicate contacts or calendars appear on iPod

  1. Make sure iPod is set up to be used as a hard disk you can store files on.
  2. Connect iPod to your computer.
  3. Double-click the iPod disk icon in the Finder.
  4. Open the Contacts folder.
  5. Drag vCard files for contacts that are already in Address Book from the Contacts folder to the Trash. Do not remove "iSync.vcf".

Tip: To synchronize your iPod with data from more than one computer, use the .Mac feature of iSync to sync the two computers first.

Syncing data already on iPod

  1. Import contact and calendar files from iPod into Address Book and iCal.
  2. Drag the files you imported from iPod to the Trash.
  3. Sync iPod to Address Book and iCal using iSync.
