IPod as back up device

Can I use my iPod (30GB) as a device to store MS Word en Excel documents?
Thanks!

Any document can be stored on an iPod in .txt form.

I wouldn't suggest using the iPod as along term back up device though.

    The only way you will be able to track that iPod is if it is turned on and connected to a wifi network by the person that has it.

  • How to I copy photos from my ipod classic back onto my pc?

    How to I copy photos from my ipod classic back onto my pc? My hardrive recently crashed and the photos on my ipod are the only copies I have! The photos were synced onto th ipod originally - not saved or copied as file transfer.

    See Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device. I'm not sure which of the recovery tools can do photos offhand, but unless you chose the option to include full res. originals when you loaded the device then what they extract will be fairly low res. If you did opt for full res. then they should be visible on the iPod's drive when viewed in disk mode.

  • I have all my music on an external media drive that has crashed. How can I get the music of my ipod touch back onto the comupter without loosing the music when it syncs?

    I have all my music on an external media drive that has crashed. How can I get the music of my ipod touch back onto the comupter without loosing the music when it syncs. in order to start rebuilding my music collection?

    You should be able to recover the media with the tips in  this post from forum regular Zevoneer but I'm not sure what the implications are for your application settings. You can probably transfer your purchases into a newly authorised library, backup the device, recover any other media using third party tools, then restore the device from the backup. That should switch the assocation of the device to the new library but it is not something I've personally tested.
    When you get it all working, make a backup!

    Did you restore the iPod on this computer?
    What exactly happens when you try to sync?
    Does iTunes see the iPod?
    Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
    Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
    If so have you done anything like update iTunes on the computer since it last successfully synced?
    Do the songs play in iTunes?          
    Does any media now sync to the iPod?

  • How to set up a TC to act as a back-up device for PC & PC laptop

    am hoping someone can help me out. my mom bought a TC to act as a new router/external back-up device for her PC & her PC laptop. she is mac-free except for the TC & an ipod touch.
    is there someone who can help explain how to do this in nice simple terms, as my knowledge is rather limited in terms of technical stuff. i managed to get my own TC up & running quite easily, but it is on my imac....
    thanks to any and all in advance.

    The Time Capsule (TC), although primarily intended for Time Machine backups, can be used by both PCs and Macs for other types of backups as well. The key is that the backup software used must be able to recognize/access network drives as not all do.
    As an example, for my Vista PC, I currently use Genie Backup and have been successful in performing backups to a variety of network drives, including AirPort Disks (drives attached to AirPort Extreme Base Stations); however, I do not currently have a TC so I can't tell you 100% if there are any issues doing so with it.
    On the other side of the coin, the closest non-Apple device that will perform similar Time Machine/Time Capsule-type backups is the HP Smart Media Center.

  • If I help out a friend & download a free app (through my iTunes account) on their new iPod Touch, will their device automatically be added to my itunes device list (and they can see all my contacts, pix, music etc)?

    If I help out a friend & download a free app (through my iTunes account) on their new iPod Touch, will their device automatically be added to my itunes device list (and they can see all my contacts, pix, music etc)?

    Just wondering, what context is this in?
    First up, is your iTunes account part of an iCloud account?
    Secondly, if it's a free app, why don't they just download it? If they are having trouble finding it on the App Store, but you can find it easily, you can share the link for it via email with them, and if they view that email on their iPod they can just tap the link and it will open the App Store to that App for them, so they can download it themselves.
    If you were to go to the Store settings pane and sign in with your iTunes account, that should only provide the possibility for download items from your iTunes account, such as purchased apps, music and movies. However, if you signed in, downloaded the app, and then went back and signed out of the account again, there shouldn't be any access apart from the app you downloaded. This is provided you sign in using the Store section of the Settings app, not the iCloud section.
    One problem they will have if you download this in your account instead of theirs, in order to download updates for that app, they will need you to enter your iTunes password to download the updates. Doing that doesn't give them access to anythign to do with your account other than that update, but they will be unable to receive updates for it without your password. They would also likely be unable to sync the app onto their computer, as their computer would not be Authorised with your iTunes account.
    If you can answer some of the questions I've asked, I may be able to suggest alternate ways for you get them the app on their device.
    Hope this all helps a bit

  • Can I use an IPod to back up  Itunes, TV shows, and pics?

    Can I use an IPod to back up the by Itunes, TV shows, and pics?Can I do a resotore off an IPOD? OS/X user...?
    I have about 50GB or so of stuff I have purchased from Itunes and have not back it up yet. I looked into using DVD's and NAS devices, but I think I can also just get a new 80GB Ipod and use it as both a portable device and my main back up for my purchased stuff. Other files, like word and excel I back up using my .MAC I-disk, but the music and video files required much more space and bandwidth, so I have to back up localy.
    If I have to do a restore, will I be able to restore off of an IPOD?

    if you use the ipod in disk mode then, yes, you could use it to backup/restore files
    but i'd never recommend using an ipod for this
    great music player, but not something to rely on to keep your data safe
    if you want a backup disk, get a dedicated external hard drive, it'll be way cheaper and a lot more reliable

  • My iOS is 4, but I can't download anything in itunes or appstore unless I update to 5.0 but my ipod says that my device is updated. What to do?

    My iOS is 4, but I can't download anything in itunes or appstore unless I update to 5.0 but my ipod says that my device is updated. Hoiw do I fix this?

    I suspect you have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1.
    iPod touch (3rd generation)
    iPod touch (3rd generation) features a 3.5-inch (diagonal) widescreen multi-touch display and 32 GB or 64 GB flash drive. You can browse the web with Safari and watch YouTube videos with Wi-Fi. You can also search, preview, and buy songs from the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store on iPod touch.
      The iPod touch (3rd generation) can be distinguished from iPod touch (2nd generation) by looking at the back of the device. In the text below the engraving, look for the model number. iPod touch (2nd generation) is model A1288, and iPod touch (3rd generation) is model A1318
    To more eassly find compatible apps:
    iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
    Vintapps 3.1.3 - paid app.
    Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version.
    If you want an app the requires iOS 4.3 or higher you will need to get a newer model iPod

  • Trying to restore 80GB iPod Classic back to the factory settings.

    I am using Windows Vista Home Premium, and need to restore 80GB iPod Classic back to the factory settings, due to it being corrupt and the device doesn’t show up in iTunes 10 or on my computer. I've done the 5 R's twice and I am still seeing a box pop up on my computer when I connect the device that says:
    “Do you want to scan and fix (F)?”
    It gives me the following two options:
    1.  Scan and Fix (recommended)
    2. Continue without Scanning,
    Option #1 says, “Unable to perform the scan because Windows cannot access the disk.
    Option #2 does nothing.
    When starting my computer with the device connected a black screen says:
    Checking File System on F:
    The type of file system is FAT32.
    One of your disks needs to be checked for consistency. You may cancel the disk check, but it is strongly recommended that you continue.
              Windows will now check the disk.
                             Volume serial number is 3141-****

    Convert lost chains to files (Y/N)? Yes
    I’ve tried both options numerous times and nothing works. This is about to drive me to either drinking or wearing one of those stylish white I Love Me Jackets.
    HELP ME . . . PLEASE

    I've used option #1 & #2. I've tried the press & hold menu & center buttons numerous times. The device does not show up in iTunes, It does show up in Windows Explorer as "Removable Disk (F), but when I try to open it, a box pops up that says, "Please insert a disk into Removable Disk (F).
    When the device is connected to my computer via USB Port, the device screen has an Orange Circle with two rotating Arrows in the centern& says, "Connected", Eject Before Disconnecting
    I don't know anyone who has a Mac.
