If I back up my ipod  touch 5th gen and restore, will the new copy be exactly the same?

I want to update my ipod to ios 8, but ther is not enough room. I am not willing to delete apps, so I figured that I would backup and restore after the update, which I have never done, and I was wondering if the restore would save everything, like game data and folder locations, so it would be like it never changed. If someone could please clarify, that would be great

If you restore from iCloud backup the apps and other iTunes purchases will be automatically downloaded. Non-iTunes purchases like music from CD will be restored. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:        
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

    - If they are in an iPod backup then restore from that backup. See the restore topic of:
    iOS: How to back up
    - If they are in the iTunes backup then get them from the backup by:
    Recover iPhone, iPad or iPod photos from backups with Picturescue
    - If you used PhotoStream then try getting them from your PhotoStream. See that topic of:

    B-rock, thanks for posting the above.  I actually have the same issue, running Windows XP and I don't have that backup location, \Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\.  When I go to Documents and Settings\(username)\ there's a AppData folder followed by:\LocalLow\DataMngr\ .
    I have the latest update, 5.0.1 and I have the iPod Touch 3rd gen.
    I have tried removing itunes and all that is associated with it then reinstalling and keep getting the same message.  I've reset my ipod thinking that would help but still, no backup.
    In iTunes, Edit, Preference, Device there are no backups.
    What am I doing wrong, can you help? 
    Thank you!

    Have you tried:
    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price:

  • 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.

  • IPod Touch (5th Gen) and iOS 6.0.1 Update

    I'm having some problems with upgrading my iPod Touch (5th Gen) to iOS 6.0.1.
    The iPod is currently stuck in the mode where it shows the connect to iTunes symbol. When I connect to it to iTunes on my MacBook Pro, I am asked to 'Restore and Update' which I click. The update file downloads, but as soon as it completes, it disappears and never installs. I then have no choice but to start again which results in exactly the same problem. I don't seem to be able to restore the iPod without downloading the latest software.
    Does anyone have any advice?
    Thanks.

    Hey Babetta94,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    After reviewing your post, the iPod is not recognized in iTunes. A frustrating situation to be sure. You haven't mentioned what OS the computer you are using uses. You can choose what article to use either OS X or Windows from this quoted section.

  • Ipod touch 5th gen not restoring? Unknown Error 14?

    My ipod touch 5th generation (which I've only had for a little over a week) stopped being able to sync with iTunes and told me that i need to restore it. I tried other options first (making sure firewall was letting itunes through, updateing itunes, updating ipod, turning ipod on and off), but finally i had to restore it thorughitune. Now iTunes keeps getting an unknown error 14 and telling me to retry restore. I've done it 3 times now and it still isn't working. Is there anything i can do? I can't even use my ipod at all now, it keeps telling me to connect to itunes but itunes wont accept it. HALP.

  • Just synced and updated os for ipod touch 5th gen and have lost game data - restore won't get it back, is there anyway to retrieve?

    Have new ipod touch and successfully transferred game data from old ipod touch, but today have updated to the new os (from 6.1.2 to 6.1.3) and now have lost game progress on several apps.
    Have tried to restore the backup but it doesn't bring back the game data
    Is there anything I can do to find this data or is it gone for good?

    If restoring from backup did not work then there is nothing else you can do. Did you try both from iTunes backup and iCloud backup? If you restore from iTunes backup you have to have the apps in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup.
