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.
Apps can be downloaded again for free: Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • I have the Apple IPod touch 4th generation. How do you update the iOS HELP!

    how do you update the ios on an ipod touch 4th gen.

    If your iDevice is using a version of iOS lower than 5, you will need to use iTunes on your syncing computer to perform the upgrade. Use the Apple link below as a guide for the upgrade.

  • 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 have an iPod touch 4th generation and I can't upgrade to iOS 6.1.3 (or to any editions)

    I have an iPod touch 4th generation running iOS 6.1, and my grandma's iPhone 4 could upgrade, so I thought I'd try it out on my iPod. I go to software update u set my system settings, and it doesn't do anything! It just stays still and says "Checking for Update." I pressed the home button and tried again, but the same error occurred. I do not have a computer, but I do have an Internet connection? Is there any way that I can upgrade my iOS to the latest edition without a computer? I cannot reset my iPod, and I have so much stuff on my iPod it'd take forever. Please help!

    You can connect to any computer and do it but it is a lot of work. When you restore after following the following instructions and iPod will also be updated.

  • I have an iPod Touch 4th Generation that I have not updated since purchase.  I have downloaded music from iTunes from an old computer that I can no longer access, and my "old" music in not currently on my new computer.  Will I lose my music if I update?

    I have an iPod Touch 4th Generation and have not updated the software since I purchased it.  When I first purchased the iPod Touch, I synced it with an old computer and an older version of iTunes.  I no longer have access to the old computer and no access to the older music I downloaded onto the old computer.  If I update the software for my iPod, will I lose all of my music that is currently on the iPod?

    Since your updating from iOS 4 to iOS 6, you will most likely lose your songs, but if songs were purchased from iTunes, you can try this:
    Downloading past purchases from App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    You can redownload from iTunes on your iTouch, if running iOS 5 or better.

  • Why isn't my iPod touch 4th gen not turning on after getting the ios 5 installed?

    I just installed the new iOS 5 to my iPod touch 4th gen tonight and when I got home from dinner (about 10min ago) it still hadn't turned on after letting it sit plugged in for over two hours after the update. I was wondering if anyone knew why it wasn't working or if it had happened to anyone else? Any help?

    Try a manual install, as outlined in the link below.

  • Ipod touch 5thgen stuck on Apple logo after updating to IOS 6.1

    I updated my ipod touch to the latest version 6.1 and after updating it restarted and was frozen at the apple logo screen since Monday. I tried calling Apple Support and they went through the steps of getting into recovery mode as well as trying to reboot my ipod touch but I first had to update & restore first through iTunes. I wasn't able to update because my connection kept timing out so I decided to download the ipsw file from this website: http://www.felixbruns.de/iPod/firmware/
    After waiting a whole day for the download(because my internet connection is really slow), iTunes said that the ipod could not be restored because firmware was not compatible. I tried both version 6.0.0 and 6.0.1 and both came with that error notice. I don't know what to do now and I really need some help! I've tried holding the home+lock key many times and went through the whole procedure but nothign seems to work. It already says that my ipod updated to 6.1 but its just stuck at the apple logo. Help me Please!!!

    If not successful try the remaining steps of the following:
    - 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.

  • Lost all signal after updating to IOS 7.1

    I have an iphone 4s and Tesco sim. No previous problems at all and had kept the phone updated, until about 5 days ago when I updated to IOS 7.1, since when I have lost all my network coverage. It constantly shows 'Searching' or sometimes 'No Service'. I can't make or receive any calls or SMS which is hugely frustrating - though the rest of the phone is working fine and I can still imessage using the internet. It's not a problem with the provider (I have a work phone on the same network which is working fine) and it isn't the sim card, which I had changed incase that was the problem. I've tried all the tips I can see on here - putting flight mode on, turning phone on/off, turning 3g on/off, turning automatic carrier on/off, reset network setting, even did a factory reset today - all to no avail.
    If anyone can help I would be very grateful. Seems very unfair that I should lose the basic use of my phone for updating?

    - double click the home button and close all the apps in the recently used dock. Then power off and then back on the iPod. This frees up memory.

  • Iphone 4 Lost all Data after updating

    Hi there..
    i got headache reading everywhere to find a solution to my problem, and didn't find any useful tips so far, i haven't slept for the past 24 hours because of this..
    last day i did an update to my itunes to the latest version, and upgraded my iphone, while doing that my iphone got an error that it couldn't be updated and got stuck on recovery mode, and itunes asked me to do a restore to factory sitting, which i did, but in the last few seconds it just shows an error message that it cant update, and i get error 10, so i did what the manual said and tried using another computer which fortunately worked..
    so i return to my first computer and tried to restore my backup files, and then i faced another problem, there was not enough space on my hard drive, i kept moving files away, deleting others and trying again, and every time i try, it takes up more space and i end up with few Kb on the drive.. i didn't know what to do, and got confused i think i click on back up instead of sync at some point, and when i realized that i hurried and unplugged the USP from the iphone, and in that moment a 3GB worth of data disappeared from my hard drive (i think it was the data the ituens kept creating while restoring back up) and a new back up worth 5mb was created on my back up folder..
    now what i have on my iphone are my contact list, and my notes ..
    what i don't have is 6 months worth of pictures and videos taken from the iphone, and my apps that are worth around $40 - $50
    i read that iphone sync your data before doing a full restore, and i found 3 files on my back up folder one is 902 mb, secound 1.06GB and the third is 508 MB the first two dating today's date on 8:03 AM, the last one is also today on 6:33 AM which was the time i unplugged my USP from my iphone (i think)
    i'v downloaded a program called "iPhone Backup Extractor" and saw that these folders contain all contacts, 300+ calender stuff and some messages (which i totally don't care for)but the photos and videos are marked None T_T
    the question i'm asking is, how can i restore those lost pictures and videos, since they are very important to me, and how can i get my apps back?? i'v tried going to app store and downloading Whatsapp which i bought before, but now it asks me to pay again
    i have some apps that is worth $5 and $10 each, i wouldn't mind paying for $.99 app again, but i can't pay more for an already paid app for that much yet again!!
    by the way I have a windows Xp which i'm using, the restore worked on a windows 7 laptop
    Plz help me, i'm starting to have a stomachache because all of this other than my headache T_T
    Message was edited by: Hschi

    so i was playing around seeing if i can get the apps back, and after going through the payment process it recognized that i'v bought this already, so i was able to download my stuff back.. (should have figured this out already, since it was an online transaction)
    Still want to recover my camera roll, and i was wondering if chat logs could be recovered too, such as for the whatsapp???
