If I add ipod udater to my ipod now what will happen?

I have a whole lot of songs on my ipod right now, But if I add ipod updater to it now, will that delete any of my songs

In Updater, if you select Update, only your iPod's software will be updated.
If you choose Restore, your iPod will be wiped of ALL DATA.
If Update is not illuminated your iPod is actually up-to-date and doesn't need that iPod Updater to Update it.

  • If I send my iPod in, what will happen to my hard drive?

    My iPod mini broke last year, and I sent it in, hoping it would get replaced with the hard drive getting transferred. Instead, I got a new iPod with an empty hard drive. That wasn't a problem then, but there's a lot of music on the hard drive now that I've deleted off my computer and can't get again. Anyway, my battery is dead. I was told that if my battery is dead, I should check the box marked "replace whole unit." I got the box to send it in, but I'm wondering if my hard drive will disappear again. Is there any way for that not to happen?

    Hi Sluggo1, and Welcome to Discussions!
    You should use a third party utility to copy the songs to your computer and back them up to CDs. Search Google or versiontracker.com for an application that will do the job.

  • MY PC WAS REFORMATTED. WHAT WILL HAPPEN WHEN I CONNECT MY IPOD TO MY PC NOW

    Hi everyone!
    My pc was recently formatted, and now I want to add new songs to my iPod. What will happen to the songs in my iPod when i connect it to the newly formatted PC? (not all songs in my iPod are in my PC anymore).
    Is there a way I can get all my songs from my iPod to my PC? If there is a way, would the songs remain organized from the iPod to the PC? Coz I am very organized with my iTunes and iPod, every artist, genre, album title is fixed.
    Would the PC automatically update my iPod? I know there is a setting in iTunes where I could choose if iTunes updates my iPod automatically or manually, but I can't seem to find it. I'm afraid to connect my iPod now to my PC because this might erase and foul up my songs in my iPod.
    Thanks and please help.

    If your iPod is set to update automatically you just need to take care when connecting back to your computer and an empty iTunes. If it is set to automatically update you will get a message that your iPod is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press *No*. Pressing "Yes" will irretrievably remove all songs from your iPod. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it: Managing Your Songs Manually
    You can also use a keyboard command to prevent your iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on Windows hold down the Shift + Ctrl keys (on a Mac hold down the Option and Command (⌥ and ⌘) keys). This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 20 to 30 seconds depending on your computer. Then go to Edit>Preferences>iPod and check the "Manually manage songs and playlists" box.
    You can't sync or drag your music back directly from an iPod to iTunes, the transfer of music is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
    If you prefer something more automated then there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod, this is just a selection. Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these, they are generally quite straightforward.
    YamiPod Mac and Windows Versions
    iGadget Windows Only
    iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions
    iPod Access Mac and Windows Versions
    PodUtil Mac and Windows Versions
    iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions
    PodPlayer Windows Only
    Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync again. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up in case you have problems again. External drives are comparatively inexpensive these days and you can get loads of storage for quite a small outlay.

  • What will happen if I return refurbished iPod?

    I made a stupid mistake when I recently ordered a refurbished iPod Nano for my girlfriend for Christmas.
    I just didn't realize that the refurbished unit was a 1st generation iPod; I thought I was buying her a 2nd generation unit.
    So, what will happen if I return the iPod? The box has been opened and she has used it for a couple of days. Will there be a restocking fee or anything of that sort?

    Thanks for the reply and link.
    Looks like I might be in trouble since I threw the box away.
    I wonder if their "All products must be packed in the original, unmarked packaging" applies to refurbished products that just come in a plain brown box?

  • Dear Apple what will happen if I charged my iPod touch 5 gen for 9 hours?

    It will continue to operate, play music and so on.  It just will not be able to update apps that rely on later iOS versions.

  • What will happen to the iPod touch 4th gen when the 6th gen comes out?

    Hi I was just wondering what will happen to my ipod touch 4th gen (app updates, processing speed, price, etc.) when the 6th generation ipod comes out?
    Thanks

    No body knows about the next gen of any Apple products, other than they always advance.  There are still many much older products in successful use so that should not be a problem.  My iPad original cannot use iOS 6.1.3 but it still does what I want and works great.
    If you have the 4th gen, use it aa long as it meets your needs.  If it doesn't look at the options for a new one at that time.

  • What will happen to iPod 5G's info when I do a fresh Windows install?

    Title basically says it all. I've been using my iPod Video as a storage device as well as for music, and I'm going to do a clean install of Windows XP in the near future-my CD/DVD drive has somehow failed to respond (code 41), so reinstalling Windows to factory settings should do the trick. Only problem I can foresee is what will happen to all the data on my iPod when I reinstall the CD software for iTunes and my iPod drivers-will all the data on my iPod disappear when I reconnect it to my laptop for the first time?
    Just wondering if anyone's done this before, as I'll assume it's a typical topic.

    When the iPod is connected to the PC after reinstalling Windows, a message will appear asking you if you want to change the computer the iPod is associated with will appear if iTunes is installed; pressing Erase & Sync on this dialog box will delete all content on the iPod that was synced from iTunes. Content copied to the iPod outside of iTunes will not be erased by iTunes unless you explicitly restore the iPod.

  • 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

  • If i used an iphone firmware to restore my ipod touch what would happen?

    If i used an iphone firmware to restore my ipod touch what would happen?

    Well I know I said I only have a second generation iPod Touch, so maybe I'm out of Touch (no pun intended) but I fail to understand how you have installed a SIM card into an iPod Touch.
    If your iPod Touch can have a SIM card installed into it, I would think that makes it a phone.
    iPhone perhaps?
    Sigh!
