I know this doesn't help you pwallace63 but I'm having the exact same problem with my ipod classic and with outlook 2007 so maybe its a software glitch with itunes or ipod as I can get outlook to sync to my mobile phone no problem. so hopefully it will be sorted with a software upgrade for either the ipod or itunes (i have the latest version of both by the way) I'll post an answer if i find one and would hope you could do the same if you get one.
I can't get my IPod to sync with my calendar. I've at least gotten to a screen that tells me to log off Windows and try again. But, that doesn't work either. I've gone in and checked and "un" checked all the options on the calendar Options, one at a time, and no change. Can you give me a clue about how I can do this. I DO have the Ipod set to sync with my Outlook Calendar.
Thanks
