I updated my iPod touch 4th generation from the latest iOS 4 update (i think maybe iOS 4.3.5 or something like that) to iOS 5.1.1 and my Photos, Videos, contacts, music, App data, etc. was deleted. How can I all the data back?

I updated my iPod touch 4th generation from the latest iOS 4 update (i think maybe iOS 4.3.5 or something like that) to iOS 5.1.1. I updated to iOS 5.1.1 on a Windows XP Home Edition with the Service Pack 3 installed on the Windows XP (which I believe is the latest version). After updating, I unplugged my iPod from the computer. I saw that all my photos and videos were on my iPod, but there were no apps. A window popped up and told me to enter a passcode for my iPod. I entered a passcode. I then locked my iPod and entered what I thought to be the correct passcode, but my iPod remained unlocked. Desperate, I tried many passcodes with failure. After a while, my iPod became disabled for a long time. I decided to reset my iPod. After I reseted it, I chose to reset from my earlier back up. After reseting, my computer loaded on all my apps. But, when I started using my iPod, I realized all my photos, videos, music, app data (like game saves and high scores), etc. were gone! I have no idea what to do and I am very stressed about this! SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME GET ALL MY STUFF BACK!!!!!!

Go to iTunea>Preferences>Devices and see if there is a backupright at the time you did the update. Then try restoring from that backup. If the apps are in your iTunes library, any app data will be restored to the iPod.
When restoring from an iOS 4 (or later) backup, if the device had a passcode set, iTunes will ask if you want to set a passcode (and remind you that you had protected your device with a passcode). iTunes will not ask you to set a passcode when restoring from iOS 3.x and prior backups.
Therefore, remembe the passcode that you enter this time.
It appears that if you restore from a backup, that backup is not subseqyently overwritten by the next backup.

When you update an ipod touch does all of the pictures and music come back?, When you update an ipod touch does all of the pictures and music come back?

I just want to know if you can get all of your pictures back when you update an ipod touch?

All of your music, apps, photos, videos, etc, should reside on your computer, not just on your easilly stolen,, lost or damaged prtable device.
A normal update, or even upgrade, restores all your settings and data from the backup thats created at the start of the process. Even if something goes wrong, you can sync back everything from your computer.

HT4623 Updating an iPod touch (1st generation) to the current IOS?

Can I update my iPod touch (1st generation) to the current IOS?
Or at least to 4.3 so I can run Minecraft on it?

To update
iTunes 10 for Windows: Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
A 1G iPod can go to iOS 3.1.3
A 2G to 4.2.1. Requires iTunes version 10.X. That requires a Mac with OSX 10.5.8 or later. With 1OSX 10.4.11 you can only go to iTunes 9.X which gets you as high as iOS 4.1
A 3G to 5.1.1 Requires iTunes version 10.5 or later

Error when i update my ipod touch to ios 6.1 from OTA

Hello, I have problem. When I update my iPod touch 5 Black from ios 6.0.1 to 6.1 on OTA, he didn't update, because i read error "Your disconnect internet". But I am have internet connection.
Sorry for my bad english

Yep. 5th gen is failing OTA and via iTunes (both Windows and Mac). I couldn't install 6.1 Beta 5 over the weekend, and now the final version fails -- when trying to restore or update -- too.
Many devs were mentioning that 6.1 wasn't installing on 5th gen Touches over on the iOS dev forums, but Apple released it today anyway. Weird. And not good.
Not user error. Apple's screwed something up here...
Well that's not good

Will my apps and pictures be deleted when I update my iPod Touch?

Well, my iPod Touch is generation 2 (I think). Anyway, I want to update it except I'm afraid that it might erase all the apps, songs, pictures and movies I had downloaded and synced in it. I don't really have a problem with the songs and movies being deleted, I can always sync it again from my laptop. I'm worried about the apps and pictures. Will they be affected?
Thank you.

As a clarification, the backup that iTunes makes does not include media synced to the iPod like apps, music, synced photos (photos taken by the iPod are backed up). If the media is not in the iTunes library on computer for synced photos), it will not be on the iPod after the update. For what is in the backup see:

When I plug my ipod touch into my computer, itunes says it cannot read it and it needs to be reset to factory settings

I bought my Ipod Touch today and I set it up with everything, even added a few game apps and my music. I plugged it in again and as it was reading "Evan's Ipod" , it cancelled and told me it could not be read and to reset it to its factory settings. I did and that didn't fix the problem. It's still telling me the same thing. Could anyone help?

Try placing the iPod in DFU made and then restore. If you get the same error time for an Appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Will I have to restore the device?

Maybe:
Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes)
Troubleshoot your USB connection. If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue. Please follow Troubleshooting security software issues. .
Next try placing in DFU mode and then restoring.

Then my ipod stopped syncing with itunes. Im on a PC with windows 7 (64-bit). So I uninstalled and reinstalled itunes. My ipod coninues to not sync. So, I finally reverted my ipod back to factory settings and then it took like 8 hours total for my ipod to revert, update to ios 5, and then resync my apps, music & vids and settings with itunes. I thought YES EVERYTHING IS GREAT. Starting using ios 5 and was loving it. Till, i wanted to resync with itunes to enable wifi syncing.
Now, everytime i plug in my ipod, it says Syncing my ipod (step 2 of 8) and the stripy thing is moving...and below that it ways Backing up
but then it just keeps saying this for hours. never moves beyond "step 2", So i end up having to open task manager and closing out itunes. Then when i reopen itunes it will freeze up. I uninstalled'reinstalled itunes now 4 times and the same thing happens...the sync never gets beyon step 2...backing up.

Can't update my iPod Touch 3rd Gen by iTunes

I have dowloaded the last version of iTunes and I've iOS 4.2.1 on my iPod, but iTunes says it's the current version.
I know the last one is 4.3.3.
I'm using Windows XP.
Someone can help?
Thanks.

You have a 2G iPod. Apple only made 32 and 64 GB 3G iPods. When the 3G iPods were introduced, the 8GB 2G iPods were continued to be sold with the same updated iOS as the 3G ipods. It is a common error to think that users purchased a 8GB 3G ipod. Sorry.

Hi IIIaass,
Not. My iPod is a 3rd Gen 8GB. I have updated it until the 4.2.1, but my old iTunes (10.2.XXX) always said it was the current version of the iPod.
Now my brother has bought a 4th Gen iPod Touch and he has the 4.3.3. I have downloaded the last iTunes today (10.3.1.55) and it says the same.
I'm trying to restore it right now to see if that change.

Doesnt want to sync after i updated it from ios 4.3.5 to ios 6.1.2 and i backed it up nd stuff but now i cant apply music on it!

See:

Just make sure that all of your synced media like apps and music are in the iTunes library since the backup that iTunes makes does not included synced media.

Hi. Can anyone tell me how to update my ipod touch software from 4.2 to ios 5.0.

I want to install IPlayer, but when I do it as for an updated version. I have run all of the updates in I Tunes and taken Ipod back to factory settings to see if that works, but it doesn't.
Is anyone able to tell me if it is possible or not?
Thanks

If you have iTunes 10.5.x then you very likely have a 2G iPOd. Those can only go to 4.2.1. If yours is an 8 or 16 GB model without a camera it is a 2G iPod. TO idenify yours:

When you update your iPod touch to iOS 6, does it also do all previous updates?

I never updated to iOS 5 (because connection always timed out, and I could never get it to work), so will it fix bugs from that update also?

Yes, you update to the most current iOS version for your model iPod.
Disabling the computer's antivirus and firewall during the download and update usually resolves the timeout error.

How can I recover an itunes account balance that dissapeared when I updated my Ipod touch?

I tried using the express lane to get this question answered. when I finally got a hold of a real person they told me i had to send an email to someone else. but i never got the email address that i needed. any suggestions would be great thank you.

All I can say is to try the express lane again.
