HT5192 If I update my iPod's software,what will happen to my pictures and apps?!

I like to know what happens to my apps  if I update my software???

If you update via wifi (Settings>General>Software Update (available with iOS 5 only)) noting is lost unless something bad happens.
- If you update via USB/iTunes, all the synced media have to be in the iTunes library since the backup that iTunes makes does not include synced media like apps and music.

  • If I reset my iPod touch 5th gen. will all my notes, pictures and apps be erased forever?

    My mother set up iCloud on my iPod without my consent and she set it  up so that I have all my little sister's apps, notes, pictures, and  contacts. How can I get all my old information back without deleting all  the stuff on her iPod 4th gen.? I already deleted the iCloud account.  Do I have to reset anything in my settings? I do not want to start out  fresh with all my info gone. I need my notes, pictures, and contacts  soon! I really need help, please!!

    You can import the photos to a coouter and sync them back to the restored iPod. However, they will be in a new album, not the Camera Roll album
    You can email the Notes and then cut and paste them to Notes in the restored iPod
    If you have app/Game data then

  • TS1538 Can I reset my iPod nano? What will happen after I reset it?

    Hello there,
    I don't know if I can reset my iPod nano. If I do this, what will happen to it? Will I lost all my songs? I don't know why iTunes not recognized my ipod, which I have IPod in to my MacPro Retina OXS 10.9.1? I hope anyone can answer my questions...

    What do you mean by a reset? If you mean depressing the buttons until the Apple icon appear then no. How you resetdepends upon the model Nano.
    If you mean restore via iTunes, that erases the iPod.
    If you need more help post in the iPod Nano forum. This is the iPod touch forum

    Disabling the computer's security software during the download and update usually resolves a network timeout error.

    If you have the first gen ipod touch as your information shows, then you would have to buy a software update:

    I tried to update my ipod touch software by syncing with itunes and it put the ipod into "recovery mode".  Seems like the only option is to restore?  Is there a way to get it out of recovery mode?

    No.

  • I updated my iPod/iTunes software and now I can't get it to shuffle songs in a playlist; it either shuffles albums in a playlist or songs on the whole iPod

    I updated my iPod/iTunes software and now I can't get it to shuffle songs in a playlist; it either shuffles albums in a playlist or songs on the whole iPod, neither of which is what I want to do.  How do I get it to shuffle songs in just one playlist?

    The shuffle setting in the main menu will shuffle through the entire library as you have found out.
    You need to go to settings>shuffle this will toggle through off/song/album. Once you have set this it will stay the same until you change the setting.
    Now when you start playing a song in a playlist the iPod will shuffle through that playlist (or if you select your song through artist then it will shuffle through all the songs for that artist etc)

  • My car stereo, an Alpine CDE-121, won't recognize my iPod mini.  I get an Error 02 message indicating that I need to update the iPod's software, but iTunes tells me that the software is updated.

    Is this particular car stereo stated as being compatible with your iPod Mini?  If you aren't sure, check the manufacturer's support site or give the car stereo manufacturer a call.

    Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes): This issue is typically caused by out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software. Please followTroubleshooting security software issues if USB troubleshooting does not resolve this issue.
    Error 13 and 14: These errors are typically resolved by performing one or more of the steps listed below:
    Perform USB isolation troubleshooting, including trying a different USB port directly on the computer. See the advanced steps below for USB troubleshooting.
    Put a USB 2.0 hub between the device and the computer.
    Try a different USB 30-pin dock-connector cable.
    Eliminate third-party security software conflicts.
    There may be third-party software installed that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting one or more TcpWindowSize entries into your registry. Your default packet size being set incorrectly can cause this error. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet-size modification for assistance. Or, follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) to reset the packet size back to the default for Windows.
    Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, bypassing any routers, hubs, or switches. You may need to restart your computer and modem to get online.

    Make sure you have a backup of your data and the backup folder created by iTunes is also part of it.
    Check this article for more info about the location of the folder. You can also use TimeMachine, to make sure all data can be restored if necessary.

  • What will happen if i install this printer software update

    RE: HP software update 2.11
    i have an hp printer (of wich i am getting a replacement when i can)
    i used to have a pc and the software was a nightmare it always wanted to update
    and i dont trust or like hp software
    will this update install an hp software program
    i like the mac printer software i use it to scan and print just fine without the hp software
    maybe a wierd question .. i might be a little scard from to much windows exposer haha

    I don't blame you for your concern, but what will happen is probably nothing. No apps are installed, just new or updated drivers.
    If you click the link associated with that update you will see a comprehensive list of all the updated HP drivers. The update probably delivers drivers for newer HP printers, leaving the older ones unaffected. If your existing printer is working you can just ignore the update.
    I'm still using a LaserJet that I bought in 1993; the update didn't change anything.
    If you are in the market for a new printer I recommend researching other manufacturers.
