I have an ipod touch 4th generation, 8gb. I tried to update to ios 6.0.1, but it reset my ipod to factory settings instead. How do I get everything back? Help please!

Hi! Today I tried to update my ipod touch 4th generation to ios 6.0.1. But the final result was my ipod being reset to factory settings. I don't know what happened. Does it mean I lost everything on my ipod? How do I get everything back? I had backed up my ipod on my computer before updating. Will that help? I don't know what to do now. I'm not very good with anything electronic, so now I'm afraid to touch anything in case I make it worse...

The backup that iTunes makes does not include synced media like apps and music. Se the following for what it does contain.

  • IPod touch 4th generation lost all data after updating to iOS 5.0

    I recently updated my iPod touch 4th generation from iOS 4.3 to iOS 5.0. However, when I went to access my iPod touch, all the app data was gone. My spending app was blank, my game stats were gone, and everything was lost.

    Try to restore from the latest backup taken before the update.

    Hi,
    I did all the steps, that were mentioned above, but still I am not getting free option.

    Thanks

    Did you create a new account using an email address not used with Apple before?
    Maybe your county does not allow a None.
    I am in the US and created a None account using those instructions.

  • I have an Ipod touch 4th generation 8gb and it comes on but does not go past the apple logo

    I have an ipod touch 4th generation 8gb and it comes on but does not go past the apple logo.  What do I need to do?

    This problem happened to me a month ago. The way I used to fix it:
    1. Go it DFU Mode. For going into that, check this page.
    2. Connect your iPod to your PC which has iTunes and iTunes will detect your iPod in recovery mode.
    3. Press Shift + Restore if you have the .ipsw firmware file downloaded on your windows PC or just click Restore and follow the instructions to download the firmware file.
    4. Wait and finally you're done!

  • My iPod Touch 4th Generation 8gb won't turn on and is frozen on the loading symbol/wheel, I tried the method where you hold the home and lock button lots of times and it hasn't worked! What do I do?

    My question won't all fit in but it says 'My iPod Touch 4th Generation 8gb won't turn on and is frozen on the loading symbol/wheel. What do I do?'
    I've had this problem from about two weeks and I forgot about it, but today I wanted to play on it and remembered that it's not working, I've tried connecting it to iTunes via my laptop but I'm not to sure how to update it because I thought that might fix it, but no luck. I've tried the trick where you hold the lock and home button but nothing happened apart from it just went back to the apple logo and then to the frozen loading symbol/wheel. I need help!

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • I have an iPod touch 4th generation and I want to update it

    I have an iPod touch 4th generation and I want to update it because I can barely buy any apps but what will happen to all my music and media and info and accounts and progress?? I dot want all that deleted and it's not on my computer. I'm worried because I have so much progress and info and I don't want it all gone. What will it do?

    I'm guessing you have Itunes on your computer, So when you go to plug your ipod touch in and itunes opens if it is syncing to your computer it will come up with "Syncing" and whatever the name of your ipod is. Click the (x) on the right hand side and it should stop the sync. After you have stopped the computer syncing you now have to click on the icon that has your ipod connected (so if it is called Ipodtouch click on that) then it should say in the info section IOs update or something like that and click on that. This will update your ipod touch to the latest IOs without syncing and/or deleting your apps. Once you have updated the IOs the apps will be synced with your computer automatically.
    Hope this helped

  • I broke the screen on my ipod touch 4th gen and im trying to do a backup on the data but it says i need to enter a passcode on my ipod but the screen dosent work so what can i do

    hey i broke the screen on my ipod touch 4th Gen and im trying to do a backup on the data but it says I need to enter a passcode on my ipod but the screen dosent work so what can I do.

    You can't backup the iPod t iTunes then. You will have to use an existing iTunes backup.
    If iCloud backup is turned on and the iPod is still working (not disabled), the iPod will automatically backup daily if an internet connection is available and the iPod is connected to a charging source.
