Is there anyway to restore my ipod without erasing everything in my itunes?
Is there anyway to restore my ipod and not erase everything in my itunes?
"Everything in your iTunes" is on your computer (or should be). So a restore will delete the content of the iPod and then the next Sync will put back the contents of your iTunes Library onto your iPod.
iTunes on your iPod is the iTunes Store.
So a restore will not delete everything in your iTunes, is simply deletes the content on your iPod (which is not the same thing).
If you have music on your iPod that is not in your iTunes Library, you will lose it unless you transfer it to your computer or back it up first.

HT201263 How can I restore my ipod without erasing everything??
HOW CAN I RESTORE MY IPOD WITHOUT ERASING EVERYTHING?
You cannot.
That is what a restore does. It erases everything and reinstalls the ios.
If you are using the ipod as designed then everything is on your computer, so you can resync everything, and you can restore from your backup to get the settings back. -

Is there anyway to change Apple ID without losing everything?
I recently changed Internet providers and my current I'd is with my old provider. Is there anyway to change the Apple ID without losing everything?
Absolutely.
If you go to Appleid.apple.com, then click on the Manage My Account button (big blue rectangle).
When you've signed in (using your current Apple ID), there will be a section showing your email address, click on EDIT next too it, enter in your new Apple ID, and then select Save Changes, and viola! Your Apple ID has been changed, without loss of any content.
Then on your device just go into Settings> Store> click on your account> Sign Out> Then Sign back in using your new email address in place of the old.
Note: Some apps when updating will still ask for your old account as the Apple ID, just enter in your password ignoring the email -
I accidentally deleted a purchased itunes song but still have it on my ipod. Is there anyway to restore it to my laptop from the ipod? I've seen others with a similar situation and the question was asked if it was still on the ipod but can't find a follow up to point me in the right direction.
Use the Transfer Purchases command in iTunes.

My phone went into recovery mode and had to be factory restored, I hadnt backed it up to either the cloud or a computer in a long time and therefore I have lost all of my messages. Is there anyway to get the messages without a recent backup?

Is it possible to restore your iPod without plugging into iTunes?
Hello - having great difficulty doing anything to my iPod through iTunes. Is there anyway in which I can restore my iPod without going through iTunes?
(iTunes already re-installed)
ThanksThanks for the response.
Ok - what happens..
1)iPod appears to work fine as a standalone player.
2)iTunes works perfectly without the iPod connected
3)Put the two together and it's **** on earth!...
I can't sync or make any changes through iTunes, without iTunes freezing (and that includes the restore iPod option.)
I may not actually need to restore my iPod - however the other option that comes to mind is throwing the damed thing out the window....so any help gratefully received.. -
Is there anyway to track my ipod based on serial number if find my iphone isn't one?
Is there anyway to track my ipod based on serial number if find my iphone isn't one?
f you have previously set up/configured the FindMyIPod service in the iPod's settings, you might be able to track it that way by going to www.icloud.com and signing in with your Apple ID. Then click the FindMyiPod icon. This also requries that the iPod Touch be still powered on, connected to a nearby Wi-Fi network whose location has been correctly entered into Apple's location database) and not have been restored by somebody else who my have located the device.
Otherwise, I'm afraid you are out of luck and will need to look for it as you would anything else you lose. You should report the lost item to the local authorities and change any and all passwords to any accounts you may have set up or accessed with the device. Apple can do nothing to help.

Connect to the iPod to iTunes and restore it. Right click on the name of the iPod under DEVICES and click Restore. If it says it can't restore because the device is locked with a passcode, put it in Recovery Mode: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

Is there anyway to locate an ipod using an iphone?
is there anyway to locate an ipod using an iphone?
- The iPod has to be connected to a wifi spot to use the FindMyiPod. Either a unsecured spot if the iPOd is set to automatically connect to one or to a secured wifi spot it is set to autmatically connect.
- Also, it is easy to defeat the find function, Restoring the iPod or simply turning it off will defeat it. It is not realy worth much.
- Change the passwards for all accounts used on the iPod and report it to the police. -
