how to restore ipod 8gb apple but keep games and songs

Make a backup of the iPod via iTunes before you restore it.  Keep in mind that the backup it makes does not include synced content such as music, movies, podcasts, etc.
See this article for details on what is included in this backup.
iTunes: About iOS backups
For synced and downloaded content, you can transfer all iTunes purchases back to your PC by plugging the iPod into the PC and choosing File -> Transfer Purchases.
For all other non-iTunes purchased content, you'll need the help of third party software. See this excellent User Tip from another forum member turingtest2 covering several of these options.
Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device
Once the iPod has finished restoring, restore it from the recently made backup.  And sync all of your content is now in your iTunes library, you can simply configure it to sync back to the iPod.  See here for more help on how to backup and restore your iOS Device.

    The music sync is how you got the music from the computer to the ipod in the first place.
    You cannot sync it from the ipod to the computer as I explained in the previous post, unless it is itunes purchased music.

    Your i-device was not designed to be a reliable unique storage for your media. It is not a backup device and everything is structured around you maintaining your media on a computer which is itself backed up. Sync transfer is one way, computer to device, matching the device content to the content on the computer. If the computer has nothing on it, the device is set to match the computer's content -- nothing.The exception is purchased content.

    For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will probably have to use third party commercial software unless you have an older model iPod. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):

  • How do I set up 2 different IPOD's on the same computer without having all the songs and games from the first one copy onto the second one?

    how do I set up 2 different IPOD's on the same computer without all the songs and games from 1 copying to the other?

    - Disable autosyncing: go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and check the box that says "Prevent iPods ...syncing">
    - Connect the iPod and go to the music, apps and other panes for the iPod and check the boxes that say only sync the checked items.

    You are allowed to have two activated installations so there should not be a problem having working installations on the two machines.  If by chance you have somehow tied up two activations for the one machine you can have Adobe support help resolve that thru chat.

  • The music app on my Iphone 5 is acting up, it keeps skipping  songs and wont allow the to play. You can see the music icon the on notification bar play and pause. When i go back to the app is states the url is not responding. I have restored it.

    The music app on my Iphone 5 is acting up, it keeps skipping  songs and wont allow the to play. You can see the music icon the on notification bar play and pause. When i go back to the app is states the url is not responding. I have restored it from the backed up cloud save. It is the music app, I played music on pandora and it worked fine. I think it must be the app or the ios.

    restore with itunes not from an itunes backup or cloud save they do absolutely nothing only a clean restore will solve your problem

    I want to update my applications I keep on entering the password and it keeps asking me about it and again I enter it and nothing happens although it is correct I can download new apps but can't update the old ones

    Then you will need the password for the old account in order to update the app.

  • I want to keep my albums and events as I move to my new computer?

    I want to keep my albums and events from iphoto when I move to my new computer. I moving from iphoto version 8.1 to 11. From Old mac to new imac. And from Lion to Maverick. Thank you

    Do you have any photos in it?  If so then rename it before copying the old library to the Pictures folder.  If you want to merge the newer library into the older one (assuming the newer one has fewer photos in it) use the paid version of  iPhoto Library Manager  to do the merging.
    If the new library is empty then you can delete it.

  • I just want to keep CSx updated and continue to use it like I have been.

    I'm an individual.. One computer!, no team or bank of computers... Just me..
    I don't need a cloud! I don't want a cloud!
    I just want to keep CSx updated. and continue to use it like I have been.
    Cost me about $600 every other year to keep this updated.
    I can afford $600/every other year.
    What do I need to do to keep using The Design Premium CSx ??

    Short answer:   You are [or eventually will be] outdated and out of luck.
    I've been a master collection user since it's been availaboe, but I've been struggling with this and other questions, and have come to the conclusion that I need to be proactive in looking for alternatives, so when the day comes that CS6 stops working on new hardware, I'll have options.
    My biggest concern is that with the current CC model, if a user decides to stop, or can't afford, their subscription fee, thirty days later they loose access to ALL THEIR CREATIVE WORK-- without monthly activation,  all the CC software STOPS WORKING!
    Moreover, after everyone is on the CC hook, what is to stop Adobe from charging $100 per month, or $300....  As a huge company driven by investors and quarterly profits they will charge whatever the market will bear.  Many will be held hostage to the subscription fee, no matter how high it goes, because they won't be able to afford to loose access their creative work.  So... going forward the market will probably bear a lot more than $49 per month.
    Then, if this wasn't enough risk, there is also the dependence on the web and Adobe's IT infrastructure to keep the software "activated".  I know it is probably extremely unlikely, but what if they suffer a cyber-attack like many other large and theoretically "secure" companies?  What kind of havoc could an attacker wreak with the creative community if suddenly all our software stopped working?  You may laugh, but I just read an article today on cNet Security about how Twitter's domain registration was hacked by SEA-- at least for a brief time, SEA was the admin for the Twitter domain records.
    Since hearing Adobe's plans, I realised that over the years, with the exception of 3D, I've gravitated to Adobe for all my creative work-- they really do make great software.  Even though this represents a huge investment in time and "learning curve", I've started to seriously evaluate alternatives.  When the day comes that CS6 is no longer working on new hardware, I hopefully will already be using other brands.
    My current thinking:  If Apple makes FCP 11 a professional tool again, that would be my first choice for video.  If they don't, I've been taking a hard look at Sony Vegas-- or there is always Avid.  For compositing, while I really know and love After Effects, I have a copy of Eyeon's Digital Fusion that came free with Lightwave3D that I've never even installed.  It is now out of the closet and sitting on my desk, waiting until I have a few minutes to install it to give it a try.  For photo editing and vector graphics, I've been looking at the Corel suite-- I haven't used Corel in years, as it always seemed "clunky" compared to Illustrator,  but it is a viable alternative, and used and loved by many.  Photoshop is an industry standard and I've used it for fifteen years, but I also have both Gimp and Cinepaint on Mac, and use them frequently already.  They aren't as capable or as slick as Photoshop, but they do everything I need, so photo editing is covered.  As far as web tools, Dreamweaver is nice, but web development can be done with any editor.  Flash (and all browser plugin technology) is being supplanted by HTML5 and Javascript, so loosing Flash, going forward, is no great loss.  I haven't used it in over a year anyway, but f I really need 2D animation there is always (gasp) Silverlight, and maybe also other tools that I'm currently unaware of.  InDesign isn't a concern for me as I almost never do print.
    So bottom line for me:   If Adobe works out a compromise where the software keeps working even if the subscription lapses, then it would be a different ballgame for me. I'd even be willing to agree to pay two or three year contract before the perpetual license kicked in.  However, as it stands, the CC subscription (and potentially vanishing software) represents a level of trust in Adobe that I'm not prepared to give.

    Can someone help with my problem?  I really want to buy some songs from Itunes but I can't access any of the songs.  I know it is because I updated my iphone to iOS 7.0.  I hope I didn't make a mistake of updating my iphone with the latest operating system.  Help!!!!

  • TS1363 have ticked to only synch ticked songs and videos but it keeps ignoring that and synching everything and my capacity is full. Please help !

    Have ticked " Sync only ticked songs and videos" but I Tunes is ignoring that and synching evrything leaving me no further capacity. Please help

    Two points to consider:
    You have to remember that when you see the option to Sync only ticked songs and videos, iTunes may already have gone past that part of the Sync process. So once you change the setting to Sync only ticked songs and videos, you may need to click on the Sync button in order for a second Sync to take place. On subsequent Syncs, you will not need to do this.
    You have actually un-ticked some of the songs in your library, haven't you?
