If I update my 4th gen ipod to the iOS 5, will I lose the data on my apps?

If everthing goes as planned, your app date wil be restored to the iPod. To help guard againste a possible mishap. sync (iTunes also creates a backup) the iPod before the udate and caopy the backup file to a save location in case something happens.  The backup is located here:
Where iTunes backups are stored on your computer
The folder where your backup data are stored varies depending on the computer's operating system. Make sure the backup folder is included in your periodic data-backup routine.
iTunes places the backup files in the following places:
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\

  • Having trouble updating my 4th gen iPod touch to iOS 6

    I have a 4th generation iPod touch which is currently running iOS 4.3.2. It is not jailbroken, it is registered to me, and there is to my knowledge nothing wrong with it. I installed the latest version of iTunes on my girlfriend's computer because I don't have internet access at my house, signed in, plugged up my iPod, backed it up, and attempted to update it. I tried SEVERAL times, and each time iTunes finishes downloading the update, but won't actually install it on my iPod. I don't get any error messages; it just quits/gives up. ITunes offers no explanation as to why it stopped the update, and I have to start all over again. I don't understand why it won't work. Someone please help me. Thanks in advance.

    - Try disabling the computer's antivirus and firewall.
    - Next try the manual install described here:

  • If I upgrade my 3rd gen iPod touch to iOS 5, will I lose all my content (photos, videos, notes, safari cookies, etc)?

    So I've had my 3rd gen iPod for almost 5 years now, and I'm tired of all the "This applications requires iOS 5.0 or later; you must update to iOS 5.0 in order to download and use this application" notifications, and since I don't have enough money to buy the new iPod, I'm finally upgrading to iOS 5.1.1, the highest I can upgrade this generation.  In the event that it doesn't save my photos (Camera roll and the pictures I put on from my old computer that I don't have anywhere else), I have been uploading them one by one to Dropbox, but this is a pain.  Basically, I'm wondering: if I backup my iPod before upgrading the software, will it reapply all my settings and content after iOS 5 is installed?  I've begun the process before and have gotten the notification that all content will be deleted.  I don't have all this content on my computer, either, because the photo albums on my iPod were folders of pictures on my old computer that I lost all the files from.  I can't just put these back on from my computer if it deletes them and doesn't save a backup copy.  But does it save all the settings in a backup copy and reapply them?  That's what I want to know.  Do I have to keep bothering with Dropbox, or can I just go for it and know everything will be fine?

    Only if something goes astray, which happens some times.
    - Backup the iTunes
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    - Make sure that all synced media like apps and music are in your iTunes library and any photos synced to the iPod are also on your computer. Synced media is not included in the iPod backup that iTunes makes
    Then update vai Tunes
    iOS 4: Updating your device to iOS 5 or later
    You need iTunes 10.5 or later on the computer.

    HELP
    Help needed to update a 4th gen ipod touch running version 4.3.5 (8L1) to the latest 6.0 version.  When I connect and try to update i keep getting a box which states that a connection error occured and I cannot update.
    I have been given a new laptop for xmas which runs on windows 8, and the new itunes version (which is in itself a hurdle as I am a technophobe!) and this is all becoming a bit fustrating. 
    I have connected, updated and synced my iphone successfully, but just hit a brick wall on the ipod.  (which incidentally maybe where this laptop will end up!!)
    Help if you can, but in laymans terms.......

    Thank you for you input so far.....
    I think we are getting nearer to the solution sort of!
    Let me get this straight...... I have paid for content on itunes, bought the apple devicds in order to play said content, now I have to subscribe $25 for the privilage of playing MY library content on MY other devices. Which wasn't such an issue to do before the new and improved itunes version!!
    Have I got that correct.  I think I cannot associate my other iOS devices with my library because I am unwilling to pay further through the nose!!!???  or am I missing something?
    Thanks
    Frustrated even more now!!

  • Every time i try to sync my 4th gen ipod touch itunes won't recognise it and the ipod keeps beeping - is there anything I can do?

    This is really frustrating.  Every time i try to sync my 4th gen ipod touch itunes won't recognise it and the ipod keeps beeping - is there anything I can do? I've tried using different cables. Itunes works fine with my family members ipod's & iphones...

     The best way to manage your music when you have multiple iPods is to change the settings under "Options" so that you manually manage your music instead of it doing an automatic synch each time you connect.  To add only the songs you want, highlight them and then "click and drag" them to your iPod.  This way none of your daughter's music gets added and you're not in danger of deleting your playlist as well.  It will show you how many songs you've added and you can then click on your iPod to verify.  To delete her songs off your iPod now, click on the music tab under your iPod so show everything you have stored.  Find those songs you want to delete, click on them to highlight then go up to the Edit window and click delete. This will erase them off your iPod but be careful when you highlight.  I did that and then had to reload a cd on my boyfriend's, lol. hope this helps

  • I changed my Apple ID but my iCloud didn't change to the new ID. If I delete the old iCloud will I lose all data on my iPod ?

    I changed my Apple ID but my iCloud didn't change to the new ID. If I delete the old iCloud will I lose all data on my iPod ?

    - Go to Settings>iCloud. Scroll to to bottom of the screen and tap the delete button. The effect all the services listed in Settings>iCloud like Notes, Contact and Calendar.
    - You may be offered the option to retain that data on the iPod. Otherwise it gets deleted.
    It does not effect synced media like apps and music purchased with the account..
    Note that purchases made with an Apple ID are locked to the ID that purchased them. To update apps you have to sing into the account that purchased them

  • IOS won't update on 4th gen iPod touch??

    This message appears: The iPod software could not be contacted. Make sure your network setting are correct and your network connection is active, or try again later.
    I have a 4th generation iPod touch. I updated my iTunes. And honestly the only thing in the above message that makes sense is to try again later. Well I tried that several times.
    I have iOS 4.2.1 and I know that the fourth generation can get ios 6 right?
    I am not a very techy person. Please if you have hints let me know.
    Thank you!

    Try:
    iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
    Ciould be just an Apple glitch
