    You should be OK if you synced/backed up your iPod. If you didn't, you will need to go download and install the apps again. The good news is, you won't have to pay for them again.

  • HT4137 if i restore my ipod will i lose all of my pictures ?

    If I restore my ipod will I lose all of my pictures ?

    Yes, unless you create a backup of your iPod before you restore it via iTunes.  See here for what is included in the backup.
    iTunes: About iOS backups
    And information on how to backup your device.
    iOS: How to back up
    If these were synced photos, they won't be included in the backup that you can make via iTunes or iCloud, but since they originally were synced from your PC, they should still be there.

  • HT4859 Why did I update my ios 6 through wifi only for it to ask me to connect to itunes and now its making me restore it? Will I lose everything?

    It's in recovery mode. You don't have a choice. Anything that was on the phone is already gone. If you didn't back it up, there is no way to recover it.

  • HT1212 if i restore my ipod will it erase my itunes library on my computer

    if i restore my ipod will it erase my itunes library on my computer

    No.  Your iTunes library is your "master copy."  Doing a Restore on the iPod just erases the iPod, like deleting a playlist.  Your iTunes library is not affected in any way.

  • If i restore my ipod will i lose my messages and photos?

    I'm restoring my ipod and i want to know if i will lose my imessages and all of my photos.

    Yes unless you restore from backup.
    For how to restore from backup see:
    iOS: How to back up
    However, if the photos are on your computer you can sync them to the iPod.

  • If i have stuff on my phone and i connect to itunes and hit set up as new iphone instead of restoring from backup, will i lose everything i have on my phone

    i need to know what i should hit on itunes for my phone, it says set up as new phone or restore with backup, i dont want to lose what i have on my phone right now, i just want to put the music i have on itunes on my phone.... what should i do?!?!

    OK, we don't have the whole story, but it is likely that you previously synced the phone to a different computer. The iPhone can only be synced to one computer at a time; if you change computers the contents of the new computer will replace the contents of the old computer.
    If you restore with backup (assuming the computer you are using has a current backup) you will not lose any app content. If you restore as new you can then add music and apps, but you will lose everything else in your backup.

  • If i restore my ipod will i lose music and apps

    I really need to know

    If you restore from a backup? No. If you restore as new? Yes, but purchased content in iTunes can be re-synced.

  • HT4859 so i just update my iphone 4 to the lastest software, it then told me i need to restore my iphone, will i lose everything on my phone and how do i get it all back if i do ?

    HELP  i dont wanna lose all my stuff on my phone

    Navigate to Settings > General > Reset > Erase all contents and settings on the device you want to restore.
    When this completes and the Set-Up Assistant starts, choose "Restore from iCloud Backup" and enter your iCloud account and password. You will see the three most recent backups for each of the devices on which you enabled Backup. Choose which backup to restore from.
    If it won't let you do this, do a factory restore, then follow the indtructions above.

  • My iphone won't sync, keeps saying something about disk failure. the speakers also aren't working. should i restore it, or will i lose everything if i do?

    please help!!!

    Hi,
    I would do a restore. If you have a backup, you can restore it from the backup via iTunes or iCloud.
    See Backing up, updating and restoring iOS software. Also, How to restore from a backup.
    Hope this helps and let me know how it goes.

    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.

  • HT1339 I have to restore my ipod, will it delete all of my data, if so how can I back it up???

    I have to restore my ipod, will it delete all of my data, if so how can I back it up??? My ipod won't let me delete any photos, or download any apps, so I turned it off and back on when the itunes and usb symboyl appeared I just download Itunes, and i can only restore it, Will it delete everything?!?!

    Yes, you need to restore. Here is how:
    Plug your iPod into a computer with iTunes
    Go into your iPod's section on the bar on the left hand side of iTunes
    Click restore
    Confirm the restore with the dialog boxes that pop up.
    When it is done, if you have a recent backup of your iPod in iTunes, you can tell it to use it.

  • When i use restore on my ipod will i lose all my purchases from my lib

    when i use my restore on my ipod will i lose just what is on the ipod not all my purchases in my lib

    Restoring an iPod has no affect on iTunes or your library. Restoring will erase the iPod's hard drive, reload the software and put it back to default settings, so if you have songs on your iPod that aren't on iTunes you will lose them if you have no back up. Once the restore is complete follow the on screen instructions to name the iPod and automatically sync your songs and videos onto the fresh installation. Press Done and the iPod will appear in iTunes and start to sync. If you want to update manually or using selected playlists uncheck the box beside the sync automatically instruction and press Done, it will default to manual mode and you can choose whatever setting you like: Restoring iPod to factory settings with iTunes 7

  • HT1212 Help If I restore my iPad will i lose my photos as I have not backed up before?

    Hi all I have never sync my ipad before to itunes.I have now disabled my ipad as I changed the password and accidentally entered the password to many times incorrectly.
    If I restore my device will I lose all my photos or will it backup the Ipad before the restore process starts, so I can restore my photo's later?
    Kind Regards
    Clicon

    All content will be removed, it won't be backed up first - and you may need to put the iPad into recovery mode in order to be able to reset it : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
    Have you been backing up to iCloud instead, or do you not have any backup ?
