Backing up my ipod

Hi.
Is there anyway I can carbon copy the contents of my ipod to an external hard drive to serve as backup? I don't want to keep all these files on my laptop. Thank you!

This is what I use to create a backup.

I backed up my ipod. I then updated it but all of my data is still gone. How do I get my data back??

Were the app in your iTunes library? If not the app data in the backup has no place to go. Redownload the apps in your iTunes libaray
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
and then restore from backup.

Otherwise, try restoring from backup again.
If still problem that means the backup does not include the data.

I have an Ipod Touch, and i want to sync music from iTunes, but i cant, as my Ipod is showing up as a camera, how do i make change it back to an Ipod, so i can sync music??

I recently started using my Ipod touch again, and i bought music to go on there.
I tired syncing it, but Itunes kept freezinfg because it needed to be updated to 10.6. After i updated it, my Ipod was not showing up. I figured out that it was showing up as a camera on my laptop.

How do I transfer my data back to my iPod from icloud after my device was restored?

I had to restore my iPod because it got stuck in recovery mode. Now, I am trying to figure out how to get all of my data back on my iPod from my icloud backups.

Hi,
If you are using the iTunes command File>Transfer Purchases from iPod, only purchased music is transferred to iTunes from your iPod.
Hope this helps!

IPod touchm notes disappearing off iPod - found on email account. How do I get them back on the iPod touch?

My Notes (yellow notes app) disappeared from my iPod touch running iOS 6.1.3 and found out here they'd been "synced" to my email account. Sure enough there they were. As suggested, I went into settings for the email account on my iPod and removed "notes" as one of the things to track. I checked the settings for Notes and there is no option to make the iPod the place to keep things (apparently, this is an option on the iPhone version of Notes). Now my test note has stayed on the iPod. But how do I get the old notes that are sitting in an email account back to my iPod?
Also, I'm not sure who decided "sync" should mean "remove from one device and put it on the other device". This is not most people's definition of "sync". It isn't done with email syncing. When I send mail (yahoo or gmail), from either the iPod or some other device, the sent mail shows up on both devices, not on one or the other.

Are you sure they are not there? Check your later pages. Syncing often reloads the apps out of sequence. Also check in iTunes under Apps that Sync Apps is checked.

How do I back up my ipod library to disc???

Went back this morning, did the exact same thing I did yesterday, and the Burn option was not grayed out in the menu. I guess iPhoto was having a bad day yesterday.

Itunes won't let me back up my Ipod, or sync music

Hi there
My itunes won't give me the option to back up my ipod touch (3rd gen)- I have the latest iTunes and iOS (4.2) but it still won't let me create a backup. When I right click on the ipod, the only backup option I am given is to restore from an old backup, which is 2 years old and from a completely different Ipod touch. I am not given the option to create a new back up.
This is an issue for me, as when my ipod syncs, it tries to transfer purchased apps from my ipod to the computer (and does so), but when it is about to sync songs it say 'Error reading to disk' and cancels the sync - this means the only way I can get new songs onto the ipod is to restore it to its original settings, something I have had to do twice already, and am reluctant to do again, as I don't have a backup!
Many thanks

- Have you tried resetting your iPod:
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.

Is there a way to move mp3s back from the iPod?

I can transfer to my ipod fine, however I had removed a good deal of my music from my PC hard drive as I had it on my ipod. Is there an easy way to move select music back from my ipod to my PC hard drive?

I made a noob mistake and created at topic for something there was already a topic for. However I wanted to clarify what I am trying to do. I realize that my ipod is mapped to a drive with windows, however the ipod changes the names and seemingly randomly places the songs within its directory structure. I would like a way to move mp3s back without the hassle of manipulating this system.

I tried to restore, update and back up my ipod touch. once it said it was successful i clicked on the label of my ipod in itunes and it had written, "we're sorry, we are unable to continue with your activation at this time." now whenever i click on the label it just says that and on my ipod it tells me to plug into itunes when it already is. i didnt update restore or back it up with the latest version, so i downloaded the latest version, how do i start the process again so my ipod works!! help this is gay !!

Hmm, well... iTunes trys to activate your iPod using the Apple server to make sure you have bought it legit.
Two things come into my mind:
1) Your iTunes can't access the internet.
2) Apples activation servers are down.
That's just my cents, maybe anyone else has an idea.

I backed up my ipod during a windows backup. how do i find those ipod files(not itunes) in the windows backup files? i've tried searching and i can't find

i backed up my ipod during a windows backup. how do i find those ipod files(not itunes) in the windows backup files? i've tried searching and i can't find

so i plugged in my ipod and it asked if i wanted to backup the files before restoring it.
Do you mean iTunes asked if you wanted to backup files before restoring? If so the it is in the location I posted. You don't need to navigate to the backup. Once your restore your iPod it will ask if you want to restore from a backup and present you with the backups made before hand.
To restore information from a backup, use one of the following methods after connecting your iOS device to the computer with which you normally sync:
-Click the File menu and select Devices > Restore from Back up.
Or
-Open the iOS device's Summary tab. There are two ways to access this:
-Click the device button in the upper right corner. (If viewing the iTunes Store, click the Library button in the upper right corner. The device button will then be visible.)
-From any view in iTunes, click the View menu and select Show Sidebar. Select your iOS device in iTunes under Devices.
-Click the Restore Backup button.
