how hard is if you reformat your iPod to restore all your music and photo's?
You do not format an iOS device like an iPod touch. You restore it. It is not that hard. For how see:

You need an internet connection on the computer

I have a limited storage in iPhone so i bought 20g iCloud. how can i use this iCloud storage in my device to store music and photos?
Welcome to the Apple Community.
You could sign up for iTunes match and use iCloud photo library with optimisation enabled. The later will keep optimised photos on your device and iTunes match will let you access your whole collection and make room for newer content by removing older unplayed items. -
Installed 8.1 and when i synced my ipod it deleted all my music and said my ipod was full
I updated the software to 8.1, and when I synced my ipod it deleted all my music, and now tells me my ipod is full.
Connect the iPod to your computer and look at the storage used by the various categories as shown in the colored bargarph in iTunes.
Come back with the results.
An "other" larger than about 1 1/2 GB indicates corrupted files.

Next, usually restoring from backup eliminated the corrupted files. However, sometimes restoring to factory settings/new iPod is required.

i accidently deleted itunes on my pc!!! i still have all my music and photos on my ipod nano 6th gen,,,is it possible to transfer content from my nano back onto my pc???
No, unless the songs were purchased from iTunes. In that case, you Transfer Purchases to computer iTunes.
Otherwise, what you need is a 3rd party tool:

If my phone's memory is full, mostly due to music, how can I make it to where my IPad holds all the music and remove all of it from my phone without losing any of it? I recently got an iPad so I now use that as my main source as opposed to my Dell. Yes, I have a Dell that failed me. Miserably.
Sync your music from your computer to your iPad. Then delete the music from your iPhone.

i had to reformat my PC after a massive system crash and luckly all my itunes songs and vids were on my itouch is there anyway to restore my info one my newly wiped clean pc
If you backed up the iPod before restoring it then restore from that backup. See the restore topic of:
iOS: How to back up
Also, if yoo have that backup you can extract the photos by:
Recover iPhone, iPad or iPod photos from backups with Picturescue
If you used PhotoStream then try getting them from your PhotoStream. See that topic of:

I cannot sync ipod with my computer - I have no disc or any instructions. Can you help me
Any content stored the iPod belongs to the former owner and cannot be transferrred.
If you can restore to factory settings, you can then purchase iTunes media and sync your own photos.

iPod deletes all music and videos, I synced it with iTunes, but after some time it deletes again.
To stop this, don't use the same Apple ID on both phones for iMessage and FaceTime. (You can continue to use the same ID for iTunes; it doesn't need to be the same as the ID used for iMessage or FaceTime.)
On one of the phones, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with a different ID. Then do the same thing in Settings>FaceTime. -
Can I transfer music photos from my old pc to my new Mac, plus I have a hard drive that is Mac compatible but all the stuff is from my pc will it transfer
Yes, the Mac can read NTFS drives, but not write to them.
If you have the drive formatted FAT or exFAt then the Mac can read and write to it. But before formatting, remove the data as it's erased, and format it on the PC as it's easier. Right click on Windows and Format.
Drives, partitions, formatting w/Mac's + PC's
Moving your personal data via the external drive is likley the best option, there are other methods like Migration, but they are problematic and take a long time, a drive is simple, fast and direct. -
Retreive lost music and photos after ipod updates automatically?
is it possible to retreive lost music and photos that are wiped from the ipod IF I dont have the original in itunes?

imac snow Mac OS X (10.2.x)Hi Louis
It is possible, you just need one of those programs - search google, names like irip etc.
Once you have the program it will bring everything up again in your itunes program, I found even deleted songs that were brought back. Fantastic feature...
Don't let anyone say you can't! it is possible, just something your not suppose to do with apple. -
I have had my Ipad 2 for a few years and have stored all my music and photos on it. I recently was given my dad's laptop and would like to use it to store my photos and music now. How do I sync my Ipad to the laptop without losing all my stuff?
Hello kactfl
The first thing is in iTunes; make sure to check the box in Preferences that prevents syncing devices automatically. Then check out the 2nd article, it will get all of your purchased content like apps and music into iTunes. And then the last article will assist with getting the pictures off the iPad onto the computer.

I had toclear the hard drive of my computer and reinstall Windows 7. Now I want to transfer all the music and photos from my iPad back onto my computer. I authorized the computer (it is the ONLY computer authorized on this account - and this is the ONLY account on this iPad). ITunes then downloaded my purchases...or at least it tried - out of the hundreds of tracks I have purchased, it managed one album that I bought over a year ago and NOTHING else. So I tried to Sync - since on older versions of iTunes (that were SO MUCH MORE user friendly) that would do the job -transferring things that were only on the iPad onto the computer and vice versa. It doesn't do that anymore. So I went from my iPad's summary to the Music tab - the box for Music was not checked but when I checked it said the only thing it could do was erase EVERYTHING from my iPad and replace it with what was on my computer (that ONE album). What is going on?
Why hasn't iTunes downloaded my other purchases since I authorized the computer? (there are over 3,000 tracks...not 18)
How can I download my iPad to my computer?-Me again - it also won't upload the few new pictures I have on the computer onto the iPad without deleting all the photos that are already there....

Sync Music and Photos to two iPods
Can I sync two ipods to my itunes music library and iphoto albums on a Mac?
I know I can have separate libraries for both apps which can be selected at startup but my wife and I share a PC and all our music and photos are on it. I want one subset on my ipod and she another subset. Is there any way to do this?Sure, simply plug in each iPod (not at the same time) and configure it for however you want it to sync. Plug in the next one and do the same. iTunes keeps track of different iPod and will remember each one so that it can sync them completely differently from one another if you like.
