HT4623 But the last time I updated my iPod, it deleted everything on it..

Well, I want to update my iPod but I'm scared because the last time I updated it, it deleted every single thing on it . I was really mad about it . I don't know what I did wrong though..

Sounds like previously you updated the iPod on other than its syncing computer.
When you update via iTunes the iTunes makes a bacup but the backup does not included media synced to the iPod like apps and music. If the media is not on the iPod it can't be restored to the iPod as part of the updating process.

I see there is another ios update. I have an iPhone 4S. The last time I updated the ios I lost all my contacts, as I had not been using the iCloud as a backup. I am now apprehensive about the latest update. How can I determine if contacts are backed up?

You should never lose contacts under any circumstances.
Although contacts are included with the iPhone's backup, contacts are designed to be synced with a supported address book app on your computer where such important data should be available with or without an iPhone or any cell phone. Not a good idea to depend on a cell phone for such important data which can be lost or stolen or damaged beyond repair.
In addition, there are a number of free email accounts that support syncing contacts over the air including an iCloud account, Gmail, Yahoo, and Hotmail.
If you are not syncing contacts over the air with an iCloud account and not backing up your iPhone wirelessly with your iCloud account, your iPhone's backup is being updated by iTunes on your computer which is updated as the first step during the iTunes sync process.
With Windoze, contacts can be synced with Outlook 2003, 2007, or 2010 along with syncing calendar events, notes, and reminders, or with the address book app used by Outlook Express and by Windows Mail called Windows Contacts for syncing contacts only. With a Mac, contacts can be synced with the Address Book app. This is selected under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.
If the supported address book app on your computer is not used and has no contacts available, before the first sync for this data enter one contact in the supported address book app on your computer. This will provide a merge prompt with the first sync for this data, which you want to select.

Is there any way I can get my play lists back to my iPod itouch as the last time I snyc my itouch it deleted them from my itouch and from my pc

While I can't help you get back Playlists that have been deleted (by iTunes!), I can hopefully help you stop that happening again. The latest version of iTunes (on 4th July 2012) is 10.6.3.25 and this version fixes the bug that has been present (in iTunes) for the last few updates.
So first of all, make sure you have iTunes 10.6.3.25 installed.
For any Playlist you created, you will simply have to compile them again from memory, or by starting again.
For the built-in Playlists that came with iTunes:

When was the last time apple updated their invintory?

Does anyone know when the last time was that apple upgraded their mac books?
and does anyone have an approximation how often this happens?
Thanks

Two places I use to check when the last updates were done are EveryMac.com and the buyers' guide at Mac Rumors.

Since Firefox upgraded to 8.0.1 I am not getting my Roboform 2 go toolbar to load. This happened the last time Firefox updated itself. I did get it back last time, but I didn't keep my notes. Any suggestions? (other than "next time keep your notes")

Roboform 2 go loads into the Firefox and all of the information is there. The only thing missing is the tool bar.

My advice is to contact Siber Systems and ask them to add the ability for Roboform to be able to keep itself up-to-date, without the user being required to search for and do manual updates. IOW, when an update is available for Roboform, that update should be installed automatically - or at least notify the user that an update is available and provide a click-able hyperlink to install that update.
As I recall, the Roboform 6 version used a Firefox extension which was hosted at the Mozilla add-ons website, and when there was a Roboform update or security fix it would be automatically installed just like any other Firefox extension.
Plus, their extension doesn't have to be at the AMO website, Firefox will look for updates for extensions from any HTTPS (secure) connection that is set up in the extension. Firefox has the capability of looking for and automatically installong updates, but they aren't using what is built into Firefox completely.

WIFI problem with the last time machine update

When Apple released the last update for time machine via "software update" I did that as I usually do on my macbook intel core 2 duo 1,83. It was like two months ago and I remeber there were some other updates together. After rebooting the machine I had no chance to connecting to my wifi anymore (using a NETGEAR router) and I went crazy trying to find the problem. In a forum somewhere on the web I found someone else having the same problem that was related to that "time Machine" update. The only solution (extreme) was to reinstalling the OS and, doing all the updates except for time machine
Yesterday Apple released the new 10.5.3 and without thinking about I did the update today ... and now it doesn't connect to wifi again.
Anyone experienced the same problem?
Anyone has a solution to that or just how to remove this time machine stuff?
Thanks ---

The project is 5 minutes long, but I cannot export any other project, even the short ones (few seconds).
Whereas, if I try to export a project that I already exported in the past, that one I can export.
The source is only pictures. Thousands of pictures for a stopmotion project. But as I said, it doesn't work neither with other minor projects
I don't really know what to do.
Does anybody know if I can downgrade the software?
Thanks for suppot
Cheers
Marco

How can I update my ipod without deleting everything on it?

Ok, so here is the situation, and I am pretty sure I am screwed.
I have an ipod touch, 32 GB 3rd or 4th gen (the one right before the one with a camera)
My macbook (1st gen) died last april, taking with it all my music, photos, apps and other such files that are still stored on my ipod.
I've already used a 3rd party ripping tool to save most of my music, but I have no way of saving or backing up my apps or photos.
I am currently on my brother's macbook trying to update my ipod so my apps will work right (It has not been updated since april) and
I keep running into the issue of distroying everything that is on my ipod.
I do not have to money to get a new computer myself right now, so I can't really just start over, and I really do not want to repay for all the apps I have purchased. is there any way to update the IOS on my ipod touch without distroying all my apps, music and photos?

I had several tab groups, but the last time I opened Firefox they'd all disappeared, and been replaced with an advert - can I recover my tab groups somehow?

I've set Firefox so it re-opens my old tabs every time I run the program, and also installed Tab Groups. Usually it opens all the tabs in all the groups with no problem, but this time they'd all disappeared and been replaced with a single advert. Is there a way to recover the old tab groups?

It's likely that by the time there is an answer the data to allow recovery will be long gone, but this really make me angry. I have been operating with the same tabs for months now, and by using tab groups... poof, now all gone. I use tabs precisely because digging around to find all these pages is a time consuming task. some I don't use for a week or two, but when I needed them, there they were. '''BIG BLACK MARK''' awarded to Firefox on this one! My trust level of this software, which had been very high just went to below IE, which is really saying something.

After the last time i updated If i scroll down a page and go back to the beginning of the page, my text is all messed up.

After downloading new firefox, when i scroll down a page, if i scroll back up the text on the page appears garbled. It looks like i am viewing it underwater. i tried changing the view settings around, but that did not help. not sure what else to do.

The last time I uploaded the latest Flash update, it crashed whenever I tried to use it. Why should I try to upload it again?

The last time I updated my Firefox, I received a dialog box instructing me to update my Flash player, which I did immediately. When I then visited sites requiring a flash player, all the sites crashed and I was unable to view the contents of these sites. So, I restored my system back to where it was one month ago and everything went back to normal, and I was able to use the sites requiring a flash player. Now, today, 9/8/10, my Firefox was updated again, and I received the same dialog box - to update my flash player due to security concerns. However, I don't trust the Adobe flash player website to give me an uncorrupted version of the updated player, so what should I do?

I need to know if the new FireFox 8.0.1 supports Norton? The last time I tried to up date Norton would not work and I had to go back to 3.6 Please let me know. Thanks Ron

I need to know if the new Fire Fox 8.0.1 will support the Norton tool bar? The last time I updated to Fire Fox 5, Norton would not work and I had to go back to 3.6. Some one said they were working on it but I sure would like to know before I switch. Norton handles all of my pass words. I sure do not want to loose that feature. Regards Ron

Did you read these Norton support pages, as posted by SafeBrowser?

The last time i synced/backed-up, my contacts on iphone are gone and address book is empty. how can i get them back?

i have an old mac book os x version 10.4.11 and an old iphone 3g. i've never had a problem syncing and backing up before, but the last time i did, it deleted my contacts on my iphone and my phone/address book entries on my mac book. any suggestions on how i can re-create? and, why would it have "deleted" my info this time? thank you for your help!!

OK. I signed into my Icloud account on my computer and just the basics
were there. My contacts, calendar. find my phone. No picture Icon.
In reading I had to Photo stream from my camera roll. It sounds like I
should just backup everything to Itunes in the future which saves everything.
I have a new device and will try to restore.
Thanks.

Last time I updated pages I lost features I liked and was unable to open some pages files. Now I see the features I liked are back but I have a lot more files to worry about. Will I be able to open files created in 5.2 if I upgrade to 5.5.3?

Within reason, Pages v5.2 documents are forwards compatible with Pages v5.5.3. Apple introduced the single file format document as a default with Pages v5.5.3 which is not backwards compatible with Pages v5 on Mavericks.
However, they also provided a File > Advanced > Change File Type > {Single File, Package} menu that allows you to change the current Pages v5.5.3 document into the backwards compatible Package type document. You would follow this transformation with a File > Save operation to complete it.
