I need to update my software but i dont want to lose all of my content. This is a new computer i am updating from and it doesnt have any of my content on it.

I went to the apple store and they told me that my version of Itunes on my Ipod touch is like 20 versions behind. My mom just bought a mac and I want to update my software but I dont want to lose all of my music,movies,shows, and pictures. I no longer have the computer that I used to put all of the content on my ipod so I am scared that if I do the update I will forever lose my content. Please tell me if I can update my software without it deleting my ipod. Thank you so much

- If you have a 1G ipod you can't update past 3.1.3. To identify yourd see:
Identifying iPod models
- Be aware that if you can/do update the iOS to the latest (4.2.1 for a 2G and 4.3.4 for a 3G) you may not be able to sync to the old computer since that computer will need the latest iTunes to see/sync with the update iPod. Yo need an Max with at least OSX 10.5.8.
You can transfer iTunes purchases from the iPod to the computer by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
You can use on of the third-party programs dicussed here to transfer other stuff:
new PC: Apple Support Communities
Unless you can move/copy the iPod backup file to the new computer you will loose all app data and restore from that backup. That file is located:
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\

HT3396 I just purchased ipages online and it says it is installed but i dont cant print or save

The usual cause is having the trial of iWork '09. You need to delete the trial & then reinstall from the boxed DVD or the Mac App Store. The files to delete are the iWork ’09 folder from the main HD > Applications; the iWork ’09 folder in HD > Library > Application Support & the individual iWork application plist files found in HD > Users > (your account) > Library > Preferences for each user.
Yvan Koenig has written an AppleScript that removes the files. You can find it on his box.com account in for_iWork'09 > other_iWork'09 items > uninstall iWork '09.zip.
FYI: the name of the program is Pages, no 'i', the suite is iWork.

It looks like you may have to reinstall itunes.
There are multiple things you should uninstall (and in a certain order) according to apple.
Also, even thought your music and itunes library information should not be affected in the uninstall, I would strongly recomend backing it up. Go to where you keep your music files and make sure you back up everything in the folders "itunes" and "itunes music".
The directions for the reinstall are here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925 They include what to uninstall and in what order. This is for itunes 9 and earlier, but I think it is the same for itunes 10.

I need to update my iphone 4 but have never used this computer before and i dont want to lose all my songs contacts and games can anyone help me find out if its possible and how to do it im desperate.

Or just wait until you can use the computer you used previously. If that isn't possible see Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

I just did the lastest os update on my iphone. it restarted and wants me to connect to itunes but itunes wants me to restore my phone. i dont want to lose all my stuff. what can I do?

I just did an update on my iphone 4s, I think it was for the iOS 5.0.1. Afterwards it restarted and my screen was froze with the itunes logo and usb cord thingy.
When I connected it to iTunes it says iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. And that I must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes.
What should I do? I am afraid I will lose all my contacts, music, photos, etc.... PLEASE HELP!
thank you!

If it's in recovery mode (iTunes logo and USB cable on the screen) then there is nothing on the phone to lose. Everything that was on it is already gone. If you've been backing up on a regular basis and syncing your contacts to a supported cloud service or contact manager, you should simply be able to restore it.

My ipod is disabled and it says connect to itunes. the only way i found to fix it is to restore it but i dont want to loose all my data. what should i do?

You must restore it, losing anything you have failed to backup or store on your computer or cloud service.

I just updated my IPOD and now the only apps that open are the ones that came on it! what do i need to do?

i just updated my IPOD and now every app except the apps that come on it wont open.

- Reset the iPod:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- If not successful try downloading/installing a new app. Pick a small free app.

If you updated from iOS 4 or iOS 5 to iOS 6 you have to download the YouTube app from the App store. With iOS 6 it no longer comes with the iOS.

I have a iphone 5 and just updated to ios 8 now i have extended lte where it use to say verizon lte

This is being discussed in more detail, but without a solution, in another thread: https://community.verizonwireless.com/thread/840295?tstart=0
I am having the same problem with my new iPhone 5s since I installed the current software 8.1.2 yesterday after activating the phone at a Verizon store in Tucson, AZ. My zip code is 84745.
So far I have no battery problems, but that's probably because I have cellular off except when I need it. I am usually on WiFi at home/work as my old 4s was one of the phones that, after an earlier software upgrade, chewed data up for no reason.

I just updated my ipod and lost most of my content, can I recover it? Some one please helppp!!!, I just updated my ipod and lost most of my content, can I recover it? Some one please helppp!!!

I just updated my ipod and realized I lost most of my contents like my address book and calender dates, also all my notes and to do's, anyway I can recover them?

I thought I'd lost my notes, too. I also have an iPad mini, and noticed the notes app icon and clicked on it. What was more obvious on the iPad was that there are different accounts; in other words, it had different sets of notes saved under different email accounts.My missing notes were saved under my icloud account, although I didn't consciously ever put the notes under any separate account. They were visible when I clicked "All Notes," too. It turns out that the phone had a different account set as the default. I changed the default on the iPhone, and there they were. I took screen shots so the notes are saved in my photos, too. This was a lot easier than checking through a lot of backups. I hope that helps. I will post this on a couple of threads I see in Apple communities. I see it's a pretty common problem. This might work on an iPod, too.

Hello, when I tried to update my iPod with something in the settings, I noticed my PC couldn't detect my iPod. My iPod is now stuck on the "Connect to iTunes" screen. Please, help me fix this.

Something went wrong with the update, this can and does happen with every version of iOS.
There is nothing wrong with the update.
Simply restore the device via iTunes on the computer.
If iTunes is stating it will take hours to update, that indicates an extremely slow Internet connection and is likely the reason the OTA update failed.
