To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes       
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.

If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

    Been wanting to do buy a few things in  app but got that disabled and I forgets my  Restrictions  passcode. Can someone explain step by step how i can restore my iPod Touch to the way it was when i bought it? hate to do something and  make a mistake. What I should do before I starts the reset and what to do after, I already copied my pics and videos  and can re-add all my  songs again later.

    You will need to restore your device as New to remove a Restrictions passcode. Go through the normal process to restore your device, but when you see the options to restore as New or from a backup, be sure to choose New.
    You can restore from a backup if you have one from BEFORE you set the restrictions passcode.

  • How can i restore my ipod touch 4g (?) without passcode or itunes

    Hi and thank you for helping as this is urgent.
    I forgot my passcode for my iPod, and guessed it to many times so it got disabled.
    The problem is I don't have iTunes and can't get it on my laptop, but need to restore my device. Right now on the screen it has a photo of a USB cord, an arrow, and the iTunes symbol. So, how can I restore my iPod touch without my passcode or iTunes?
    Thank you SO much.

    Right now you can't without a computer. Once you get to a computer you can restore it using DFU mode.

  • How do I restore my iPod?

    I have locked myself out of my ipod by forgetting my passcode, how do i restore this ipod from a new computer

    If you have a passcode to the screen lock that you've forgotten, restore the iPod from the computer to which the iPod is synced. For information and instructions, see:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
    If that will not work, you'll need to put the iPod into Recovery Mode and then try the Restore again:

    please how can I restore my ipod touch 2g from a firmware that I own already on my computer and without any time need to download via itunes

    You should probably disable the autosync functionality first by going to Edit -> Preferences, clicking the Devices tab, and enabilng the prevent iPods,iPhones, and iPads from automatically syncing option.
    Next, authorize the new computer with your iTunes Account.  In iTunes, choose Store -> Authorize This Computer and enter in the correct credentials.
    If possible, either copy a backup file from your old computer to your new one or create a new backup of your iPod in iTunes before letting it sync.  To do this, right->click on your iPod Touch from under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes and choose Backup. You might also want to take a look at this article to see what it all included in the backup.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
    Now onto synced content such as music, videos, photos, etc.  For iTunes purchases you can copy them back into iTunes by choosing File -> Transfer Purchases.  For all other nonpurchased iTunes content, see this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering different software availbable to assist you with this task.
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2452022?start=0&tstart=0
    Once the backup has been made and all other synced content such as music, videos, and photos are back in your iTunes library, restore your iPod from that backup you made earlier.  Here is more on backing up and restoring your iPod.

  • HT201263 How can I restore my ipod without erasing everything??

    HOW CAN I RESTORE MY IPOD WITHOUT ERASING EVERYTHING?

    You cannot.
    That is what a restore does.  It erases everything and reinstalls the ios.
    If you are using the ipod as designed then everything is on your computer, so you can resync everything,  and you can restore from your backup to get the settings back.
