How do I back-up my ipod touch 4g?

so I have the white screen of death and I heard that rebooting might help it. but if it doesn't work, I really dont want to lose all of my apps, musics, bookmarks, data, EVEYRHTING!! so will backing-up my ipod(for the first time) before rebooting( for the first time) EVERY SINGLE THING I have on my ipod? if it can: 1) how do I back-up my ipod? 2) once i've rebooted, how do I get those saved data and put it back into my ipod??

Sadly if you have the white screen of death you may not be able to do much, all depending on if it's the screen that has malfunctioned or the iOS.  First I would recommended plugging into iTunes and seeing if its recognized to be able to backup.  These instructions are listed here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766 including the answer to your second quesiton.
If you are unable to backup, indicating youriOS is not working properly, I would start with a 2 button reset as outlines on the 2nd slide here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
If the iPod continues to boot to a white screen and does not allow you to backup, you may be out of luck and have to follow the rest of the steps here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3281
I hope this helps!

  • Lost all my music on my iPod touch. Now I can't reload it from my computer because it states that it is in the cloud. How do I get my music back on my iPod touch so I can listen when I'm out of wifi range.

    I was trying to fix the "ghost" songs on my ipod touch 4th generation today. Somehow I ended up deleting all my songs from the touch. Now when I try to get them back from my computer it states that they have to be downloaded from the icloud first. Don't know how to do this or why I can't just drag and drop the music from the computer back onto my ipod touch.

    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.

    Hi,
    did you install the Apple's PodCast app?  as soon as you install the PodCast app, it is remove from the iTunes apps.  if you want your podcast back in iTunes, delete the PodCast app from your iPod.

    Hello mig04,
    While looking into the issue you are experiencing I came across some helpful information. In an article called iCloud: Troubleshooting creating backups found here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3992 there are a number of steps to help get your issue resolved.
    General troubleshooting
    General information
    iCloud Backup requires a Wi-Fi connection to the Internet.
    Automatic backups occur when you've plugged in your iOS device, locked the screen, and have connected it to Wi-Fi.
    You can manually start a backup by tapping Back Up Now in Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup (requires a Wi-Fi connection to the Internet).
    iCloud Backup will provide helpful information and status messages related to backups at the bottom ofSettings > iCloud > Storage & Backup.
    If automatic backups don't work as expected, test to see what happens when you start a manual backup by tapping Back Up Now at the bottom of the Storage & Backup screen.
    Backups and restores both take time, especially if you have a lot of data or a slow connection. Depending on the size of your data and the speed of your network, you may need to give more time than you expected to a backup or restore.
    Make sure you have at least 50 MB of free space available on your iOS device before you back up. If you have no space available on your device, iCloud Backup can fail in some cases. You can verify how much free space you have available on your iOS device in Settings > General > About.
    Cheers,
    Sterling

  • Syncing keeps backing up my iPod touch

    When I install new application, movie, or music, my mac keeps syncing by backing up my iPod touch everytime. Is this normal or can I change something in the preference.

    Yes, I was going to post a question regarding backups. Having had a Palm and using backup software (not the regular sync operation), I was wondering about the iPod Touch. I did notice that it says something like "backing up iPod" during a sync, but do we need more robust backup software? For example, if some app corrupts its data, can we restore just that data file, or the app with data? Or do we do a full restore - and if so, how is that done?

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.

  • Can I Gold Plate the back of my iPod Touch?

    If i can gold plate the back of my iPod Touch how much would it cost?

    Here's one company in the UK:
    http://www.appletattoo.com/touch-ipod-gold-plated-iphone-gold-plated-ipod-gold-p lating-iphone-gold-plating-gold-ipod-gold.html
    Note that plating like this will almost certainly void your iPod's warranty.
    I'd suggest you just buy a skin for your iPod. It might not be quite as snazzy as having your iPod gold-plated, but it will be a lot easier and almost certainly a lot less expensive, and won't affect your warranty.
    Regards.

  • How to delete apps on an IPod Touch 4G Running iOS6

    Hi. I have a iPod Touch 4G with 32GB of memory running iOS 6. I'm also syncing it with an iMac running Yosemite.
    I decided to delete a bunch of apps from my iPod touch because I want more room for music and podcasts.
    I deleted the apps on the iPod touch but when I synced it with my Mac using iTunes, some (maybe all, I'm not sure) deleted apps were transferred back to my iPod Touch from my Mac.
    So,  I'm wondering: how do I delete those apps on my iPod Touch so they aren't added back when syncing with my Mac?
    Thanks.

    Okay, sorry. Looks like I can delete the apps from iTunes on Mac. Please ignore my question.

  • I accidentally backed up my ipod touch data onto my iphone.

    i got a new iphone and wanted to sync it to my computer and accidentally backed up my ipod touch data onto my iphone and now i have all my ipod data and settings on my iphone. how do i undo this?

    Restore the device from a previous backup.  Or, if it's new, then Erase All Content & Settings and set up as new again.
    Are you wanting to have two separate setups for the devices?  I'd recommend using two separate Apple IDs then, but be advised, you can't transfer purchases between Apple IDs.

    Lucky you, the only way to get your missing device back is thru a GOOD SAMARITHAN.Remember once the new user puts your device to "ERASE ALL CONTENT AND SETTINGS" and you connect it to your iTunes ,using the new users Apple ID ,everything changes to the new users name,unless you have an Apple Care protection plan which is  registered under that serial #.
