Does updating your ipod delete apps,songs,photos or app data or any other thing ???

i want to update to 5.1 and it says that it will backup and restore all apps photos songs and everything.so,does updating delete apps or anything or erase app data and progress??

If you update on your syncing computer and all synced media like app, music and synced photos are in yur itunes library/on the computer, you will not lose them nor ose apps date.  The backup that iTunes makes as the first step of the update includes app dat and some other things but does not include synced media.

  • Does Updating Your iPod Erase Your Music?

    If I update my iPod with the newest software, will the update erase the music on my iPod?
    Please let me know!
    Thanks!

    There's no reason that updating should erase your music, personally any firmware update I've done has gone smoothly. However you should always keep a aback up of your music in case of problems with your computer so if anything ever happens to your iPod you can reload it and/or iTunes.

  • Update daugthters ipod 2 and it wont reload the netflix appor any other

    Updated DAughters ipod 2 and i cant seem to reload the netflix app.

    Netflix now requires iOS 5 or later. It appears you have a 2G iPod since those can only go to iOS 4.2.1.
    Many developers when they updated their apps to support iOS 5 and 6 dropped compatibility for iOS 4.2.1 and earlier.
    Your only way is if you have the version that was compatible on your computer such as in the recycle bin/trash or in a computer file backup. In that case delete the current version that is in your iTunes App library and replace it with the older version. Then sync.

  • What exactly does "updating your ipod" mean?

    Yes... like, is it everytime you load new songs? or... what... thanks for your answers!

    there's a couple of senses in which it's used around here.
    one sense is "transferring music/videos/notes/etc to the ipod with itunes". you'll also sometimes see that referred to as "syncing". that's the sense that is being used in this document:
    iPod: Artwork missing from songs
    the other main sense is "upgrading the ipod software" ... that's what you do when you run the ipod updater, plug in the ipod, and click the "update" button. that's the sense that is being used in this document:

  • Problem Updating Your iPod Software

    I am running Windows Itunes 6.0 and Nano version 1.0
    I keep getting messages when I open Itunes saying I need to update my software and I follow all the prompts, extract files etc and then it tells me to restart my computer. I do that and nothing has changed. I am still working with the same software and it tells me I need to update.
    the Tutorial references a Updating Your iPod Software
    that never pops up for me.
    Any suggestion?

    Best and simple way is to uninstall your current iTunes and iPod Updater and download the last below

  • Everytime I update my ipod - loading new songs - my Album art doesn't show

    I don't know if this has been happening to other ppl, but ever since I updated my ipod to newer version of OS4, my album art doesn't show up when it locks to home screen. When I go into music - it shows that the album art is there, but when I lock my ipod, the album art doesn't show up. But when I turn off and on again, it works again. It's just really annoying to always turn off my ipod and on again. And also I've noticed that after updating my ipod (loading new songs) it seems really slow - but when I turn if off and on again - it works normally.
    I Don't have lots of songs or movies - I have used a little over half of the space. It's just that these things only happened right after I updated my OS to newer iOS4!
    Can either someone make a better iOS4 or something?

    Try deleting the songs from your iPod, then in your iTunes library delete the album art and reload the album art back to the songs and put them back on your iPod.

  • Ipod deleted existing songs when performing a sync

    Hi,
    My Ipod deleted existing songs when performing a sync. Please advise on how to restore the files that have been deleted from the IPod.
    Best Regards,
    John Joseph

    Hey there,
    How do you have your iPod set to sync music? Are the 825 songs still taking up space as other on your iPod? To look, just head in the your iPod's settings and click on About to view details.
    I would try restoring the iPod in iTunes and setting it up to "automatically sync" with your iTunes library. Also, if you have it set to sync all checked songs and videos that each song you are trying to sync has a check mark next to it and that disk use is not enabled on it.
    Hope this helps.

  • Does the "Reset All Settings" option delete app data?

    I have upgraded from a 16GB iPhone 4S to a 64GB iPhone 6. I restored my new phone from a backup of my old one just so I could transfer app data from one app. All went well with that, but now the app is sending notifications that I can no longer progress because my phone lacks storage space. That may have been true for my 16GB iPhone, but now I have over 43GB of free space on my new iPhone 6, and it's still telling me I'm out of space. I'm thinking this has something to do with the "settings" of my old 4S being transferred in the backup I made. I am willing to try a Settings Reset if and only if it will not affect app data. If it does, what other methods do you suggest to convince my iPhone it has ample storage space?

    Reset All Settings does not delete app data. It DOES reset your home screen layout, however, plus any default settings that you have changed.

  • HT201270 In layman terms, what the heck does updating your carrier settings mean and how does it effect me in the real world?

    In Layman terms, what the heck does updating your carrier settings mean, and how does it effect me in the real world?

    No offense, but what carrier?  what data and what service? 
    I get a bogus window hovering in my itunes page, telling me I have to update information, that I don't want to manage. 
    I am not upset or unappreciative of your feedback, quite the opposite, I can't believe anyone actually monitors peoples frustrations. 
    I just want to make sure I don't allow information about me that is not necessary.  I just want to listen to music and have a phone and have an ipad. 
    Everything else about apple is way to propriatory. I don't want to do anything that isn't very simple. 
    Most importantly, there never seems to be any (human being) that can answer a telephone call anymore. 
    Contact us, means...send us an email about something you don't know anything about, and I don't even know that questions to ask.
