If I download and update my Ipod would all my music be deleted?

Question is up top.

- Yes if it is not included in your iTunes library.  So will the apps. The backup that iTunes makes does not include synced media like apps and music.
- You say you have iOS 3.1.3. The likely indicates that you have a 1g iPod. those can only go to iOS 3.1.3.
- Since you have an older iPod, many developer's have updated their apps and in the process dropped compatibility for earlier iOSs. I suggest that you delete the apps from your iTunes library and then transfer/copy the apps to the iTunes library from the iPod.

  • If I were to download and update my iPod will all my songs delete?

    When I first got my iPod, my friend set it up at her home on her computer. So if I download and update it now from my computer will my songs/apps delete?

    Probably.
    Transfer all itunes purchases from the ipod to the computer first.  Without syncing:  File>Transfer Purchases

    Hi Robertfrom Denver.
    Did you try the solution given, and if yes, did it work?
    I have done several "attempted downloads, and see the full file download, typically taking 30 minutes to complete, and then something goes wrong.
    I am happy to suspend AV and FW software, but would like to know if it is a good fix or not first?

  • I downloaded version 11 for the itunes library and updated my ipod to ios6, today when I click to open itunes, it wont open and says I need to reinstall itunes. Will I lose my whole music library?

    I downloaded version 11 on itunes and updated my ipod to os6, when I try to open itunes now, it says it downloaded incorrectly and won't open. It says to reinstall itunes. Will I lose my whole music library if I reinstall itunes?

    you will not loose your content at all. It is still sitting in your hard drive even if you uninstall itunes.
    Once itunes will be reinstalled , it will re-sync your stuff on your hard drive

  • My iPod touch is downloading and updating apps very slow more than an hour.

    My iPod touch 4th gen 32gb verson 4.3.1 is downloading and updating apps very slow more than an hour. I just got it a day ago and I backed up all my apps music and pictures and videos from iTunes. Few months ago I had an iPod touch but I lost it and it was working fine. Luckily before I lost it i backed up everything to iTunes so now everything that was in my old iPod is now in my new iPod. Anyways, When I first bought it I straight away backed up everything and saw that i had many updates on my apps. I started updating it all at once but even the first one was not loading at all and mty ipod was hanging many times during the updates so i cancelled all the updates. i even tried it on my computer and it was taking forever but my laptop does updating and downloading apps slower than my ipod so that doesnt matter. Even when I download an app on my iPod now its take more that an hour. So i was wondering, is my iPod slow cause I backed up too many things when i just got it . I have about 120 apps 150 plus photos and 70 videos and I backed it up all in one night on the day i got my ipod. So now I'm restoring my iPod and updating it to IOS 5 and see what happens. Hopefully it will be faster then but I still need to know what is main problem of m iPod hanging and slow updating/downloading. Need a reply ASAP. Thanks

    Still you can switch it off while syncing.
    You can also do a reset (Hold Sleep/Wake and Home buttons about 10 secs or more till Apple logo appears)

  • When I tried to sync my 4G iphone factory unlocked to iTunes I got this message "An update to the carrier settings for your iPhone is available. Would you like to download it now?"  Should I hit "Download and Update"? or "Learn More" ?

    When I tried to sync my 4G iphone factory unlocked to iTunes I got this message "An update to the carrier settings for your iPhone is available. Would you like to download it now?"  Should I hit "Download and Update"? or "Learn More" ?

    I have a factory unlocked iPhone 3GS (eg: purchased from Apple).  I received the same message at some point and eventually (after reading a bit more) accepted "Download and Update".  No problem.  No apparent bad effects. It just seems to update things specific to the carrier (Bell Mobility in my case).

  • HT201210 if i restore and update my ipod does that mean my pictures in the ipod would be deleted?

    if i restore and update my ipod does that mean my pictures in the ipod would be deleted?

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    It will delete all your data. However, before upgrading, iTunes will make a backup, so you can restore it after upgrading and your data will be restored, including your photos taken with your iPod

    Otherwise provide informat at to what happens when yuo try to sync. Errot messages?

    Disable the computer's security software during the download and update.  You could have easily found this answer by searching this forum since the question gets asked maybe a dozen times a day.

  • HT3281 How to download and update iso 6

    I would like to learn how to download and update iso 6 in my iPad

    If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1.3. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

    iOS: How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623
    If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
    Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily.  Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).
    Tip 2 - If you're updating via wifi, place your iPad close to your router to preclude getting a corrupted download.

  • Why I can not download and update software from App store?

    When I want to install some software, only display"please wait",I cannot download and update anyone! Please,help me!!!!

    Hi maplefox, it would be  a great help to the communities if you were to include:
    1: the equipment you're using and any software you're currently running
    2; a brief synopsis of what apps or software you're trying to download.
    At the bottom of any community members' replies it will have a brief list of the equipment they have and whatever software they're running.
    Could you please be more concise with the details of what you are trying to do, and we are more than happy to help. Even more experienced members have problems from time to time.
    It would also help if you could take a screenshot to illustrate what you are experiencing.
    To do that, if you are using a keyboard, press 'Command', 'shift' and '4'. A 'crosshair' looking like a gunsight will appear on your screen. With your mouse, or trackpad, finger depressed, move the crosshair to the onscreen image, move the crosshair across (from the top left corner) and drag down (to the bottom right corner) until you've covered the area you want to show and just release your finger. the screen shot will appear on your screen. To show it as part of your query page, click on the camera icon and a window will appear asking you to choose an image or file. Click on the screen shot, and then click on 'Insert. Job done.

  • I've done an update on 7/25/11 as requested by itunes since I've done the update I've lost all my music and videos; also I've lost my USB drivers. What can I do to restore my 2nd Gen Ipod touch to factory?

    I've done an update on 7/25/11 as requested by Itunes. Since I've done the update I've lost all my music, videos and icons. I also can't connect to any PC via the USB port. What can I do to restore my 2nd Generation Ipod Touch back to factory?

    I also have a 2nd generation iPod and when the new version was being advertised on the home page, I clicked on it. And I saw that the update was compatible with iPod touch 3rd and 4th generation, iPad 1 and 2, and all the iPhones. But it wasn't compatible with iPod touch 2nd generation. So you downloaded an update which wasn't compatible with your iPod. I'm sorry.
