Does the new update for ipod touch ( ios 6.1.6 ) restore your device?

There was a software update that came out a few days ago. A while back I updated my software ( a few month back ) and it restored my ipod, I had 89 apps ( 10 i paid for ) just a few pics and 127 songs - some i paid for.
So I had to pay for it allllllll again. I don't want to make the same mistake twice.
Could Someone Give Me Any Advice?
I know you can back it up to itunes or icloud and that.... but it still restores it!
If this helps:
Ipod 4gen 8GB ( Don't ask how i had 89 apps..... i looked on my settings )
I'm not sure if some Ipod's restore and some not but Just thought I'd give you the info above.
I don't want anything to do with restoring it!!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------- I'm Just asking if anyone has done it and if there's has restored ----------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------- Ipod 4gen for ios 6.1.6 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------

Infrequently a glitch occurs and restoring the iPod is required.
I do not understand why you had top pay again previous for iTunes purchases
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Some countries limit what yo can redownload without having to pay again.
Transfer iTunes purchases to you computer by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
Make a backup of your iPod too
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
Note that the iTunes backup does not include any synced media like apps and music.
The iCloud backup only includes iTunes purchases.

What did the error message say?
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

What does the new update for the ipod do?

I keep looking. I have an Ipod from 2003 20gb. Iv'e never updated the software so I found the updates but I cant find anywhere that states what the updates do for my Ipod Im tired of looking. Please help!

Hi Jeff,
I also have an old 20GB i-Pod and I too wanted to know what was in the new version, but like you I couldn't find a list of features or bug fixes or whatever.
I was happy with the i-Pod and I believe in the old saying "if it ain't broke, don't fix it", however, I also heard that the new i-Pods have on-the-go playlists, which is a feature I would really like. So, long story short, I used the new updater, the i-Pod now runs ver1.5 but there is no on-the-go feature. I'm guessing it's not supported for my old Hardware. As a compensation, though, I swear it sounds a bit better than before - dunno if there is a new decoder algorithm in the update. Haven't really answered your question, I just want to warn you that if you want to update for a particular feature, it might not be there. Apple really should publish a feature list for all versions. Good luck Jeff.

IS the new update for iPod mini too?

I just downloaded the new update and it's not working for my iPod mini--is this supposed to be just for the new iPod- nano?

IPod Updater 2005-09-06 contains the same software versions as iPod Updater 2005-06-26 for all other iPod models beside the nano.
So, there's nothing new for you in it.

Does the new 4th gen ipod touch come with a protective case?

Also, does it include any other accessories, like a screen protector?

No, it does not come with a case or a screen protector. Not from Apple, anyway. There may be a store somewhere that is offering them as a combo...you know...buy an iPod Touch and we'll throw in this screen protector and a case for free. Or for some price. In fact, I have been searching the web for a case for my iPod Touch 4th generation. There are many, many cases and things for the first, second and third generation iPod Touchs, but nothing for the 4th generation. It is too new. Not Apple's fault. It only came out a few weeks ago. Companies will be selling cases for them soon, I'm sure. I purchased a case for the iPhone 4th generation. The two 4th generation units (iPod Touch and iPhone) are very, very close in size. The only difference is the height. I can tell you that the case does not quite fit. The iPod Touch slides a bit inside the case. Depending on what kind of case you want to buy, it might not matter.
As for the protective screens, yes they are for sale for the 4th generation iPod Touch. Do a search on the web (Google, Bing, Yahoo, whatever) and you will find them. I purchased some from Amazon.com. They have not come yet. In fact, I just received notification that they were shipped today. But these protective screens are just for the 4th generation iPod Touch--they have holes where the camera and the power button are. I can't tell you how good they are yet. They were 3 for about ten dollars. I could have purchased less screens, but the price per screen was higher, obviously.
Good luck, have fun and enjoy your 4th generation iPod Touch!

What did the forced update for iPod touch 2g(A1288) achieve/do to my ipod?

help would be appreciated, Sim

The fact is that the App you want, CSR Racing, requires a 3rd generation Touch. That is stated in the Requirements for the App. So it will not run or install on your 2nd generation Touch, regardless of any updates that you eventually install.
The update (which was not "forced" at all) was probably designed to fix bugs and improve performance. That update came out some time ago (even though you have only just updated, as deduced from your other post) and frankly, I for one, have forgotten exactly what it did.
Perhaps you should spend some time reading therough various posts in these discussions to understand the what, why and limitations of the update instead of posting a new question after Illaass has answered you in your other post.

What do i do after downloading iOS 3.1 software and "There was a problem downloading iOS 3.1.1 software update for ipod touch. an unknown error occurred (8288). Please check that the connection to the network is active and try again." comes up?

Hello, I hope by now you have resolved the upgrade issue, but if not, here is what I ended up having to do:
“SUCCESS!!! I took my iPod to a friend who is a computer programmer/genius. He turned off his wireless, hooked the ethernet cable directly into his computer, and the download went through without a hitch. YAY!”
Here is my original post explaining what I had already tried:
“Hi all,
I got an iPod Touch 1st gen for my youngest son for Christmas as a starter. It has the 2.1.2 ios on it, but after I paid for the upgrade to 3.1.1, I keep getting an error message (8288) saying there was a problem with the network connection. I have called customer service, and they suggested I try on a different computer, and if that didn't work, try connecting to a different network, and then trying the update. None of this has worked. It seems that tech support is clueless with this issue.
I have installed and unistalled iTunes 10.5, 10.3, 10.4, and now I am back with 10.5. I have tried looking up the issue from several search engines but no one seems to have a universal solution and I have tried several.
I really want to have this thing updated for himw hwne he opens it, but I am starting to worry that my purchase was a bust. I know this is the oldest version, but I don't want to buy a newer, more expensive iPod and him still not be mature enough to really take care of it. As I said, this one is a starter.
Can anyone help? Please?!
Thank you!!!
P.S. We have a PC, with Windows XP Home.”
Now, there seem to be a lot of different ways to solve the 8288 error, none of which are universal. Best of luck getting yours upgraded!

P.S. The post by Sparkhi is a link to his blog going into a long story about how he wanted Apple to pay him for “solving” the issue….the one that apparently has been solved by multiple solutions. I’m not trying to bash, it just bothers me that he put up this whole story and finally, at the very end of his blog post, posts his solution.
