Lost all data when updating iPod Touch

I've managed to update my iPod software and after it was updated, all the music files disappear except for the apps. I did the restore option and it erase ALL of data inside which irritates me greatly. Now, the music and the apps are gone. I want to know how to restore all the music and apps that I have before the update. i noticed that when I update the software, it ask me to backup and so I did. However, I cannot seem to know how to execute this kind of backup.
Any help would be appreciated.

I'm not sure if that will work, iTunes have already exported my music library and the music contained inside the iPod isn't located inside this computer. So it should means that iTunes will sync the music library, not from the lost data. This situation stands at updating my iPod this morning and it eradicated all the previous music data it have inside, I've tried to restore from backup but only able to restore on two time periods.

    I lost purchased music on my computer that was purchased in the last 4 to 5 months because of virus. I did not back up the few songs I purchased on cd. I also lost all data on my Ipod nano and had to restore it. How do I download these purchases I lost?

    Go to the iTunes Store, log into your account, and click the Purchases link under the Quick Links. From there you should be able to re-download some or all of your purchased content. Note that not all content has been licensed for re-downloading in all countries at this time; you can see what content you can download here:

    You can also re-download content using an iOS device.

    This if course will not apply to songs you did not buy through the iTunes Store.

  • 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.

  • Lost data after update IPOD Touch

    Hello folks,
    i just updated my IPOD touch and i lost all my data, i would like to know if there is a way to have back all the data
    thank you

    If you have a backup with the data then restore from backup:
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: How to back up     
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. 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

  • After updating to ios5 lost all my apps on ipod touch and cannot get them back how can i fix this?

  • Lost  All Songs When Updating

    My daughter lost all her songs on her i-pod. She just got a new laptop and when she hooked up her I-pod for the first time, it asked, "Would you like to update and make this your computer for the I-pod?" or words to that effect. She said yes and it wiped all the songs off her i-pod. The old computer with the original downloads is gone (it was a loaner) and the hard drive wiped clean. Anyway to retrieve her songs? Help is much appreciated

    Sorry, but if she synchronized her iPod to an empty iTunes library, the tracks on her iPod are probably gone. She can try a Windows file recovery utility - some claim to work with iPods, though I can't make a specific recommendation - and see if it can recover the tracks, but not having used any I don't know how well it will work. Otherwise, she'll have to reimport your CDs and restore her purchased tracks from her backup (she did make a backup, didn't she? I hope so).
    For future reference, synchronization between iTunes and an iPod is one way only, from iTunes to the iPod. So if you're connecting your iPod to a new, blank copy of iTunes, you cannot let it synchronize automatically or it will delete all the tracks from the iPod. To connect an iPod with tracks to a blank copy of iTunes, you need to turn off automatic synchronization. There are instructions in other threads here on how to keep an iPod from synching automatically on connection, and on how to transfer tracks from an iPod back to iTunes.
    I know this doesn't help the situation now, but just in case the issue ever arises in the future, she'll know more about what to do.

  • HT4623 ive lost all ios on my ipod touch ,, i cant  download any games etc   . how can i install software  needed

    my ipod touch is 4 years old ,, somehow ive lost the ability to download games etc , it says app incompatible ,, how can i load the correct software ?

    Many developers when they updated their apps to support iOS 5 and 6 dropped compatibility for iOS 4.2.1 and earlier.
    Your only way is if you have the version that was compatible on your computer such as in the recycle bin/trash or in a computer file backup. In that case delete the current version that is in your iTunes App library and replace it with the older version. Then sync.

  • Error Message when updating iPod Touch

    I keep getting an error message when trying to update my daughter's iPod Touch to version 4.2.X. I'm using Windows7. The error message says something like "An error occured while backing up this iPod (-35).
    Does anybody know what is causing this error message and what I can do to ensure I can download the latest update?

  • I lost all songs on my Ipod Touch

    I don't sync my IPod Touch because I have 120 GB of music in ITunes.  So, I manually drag and drop from my library to my IPod.  I did it once, then, for some reason, they all disappeared.  For some other odd reason, the playlist was still left...just no actual music left.  So, I reloaded the Ipod again...3400 or so songs, manually, and it dropped them all again.  I have the box checked in preferences to prevent IPods from syncing automatically.  I am leary about loading the IPod again because it takes several days to do it.  I am using an Intel Imac.  Any ideas?

    I figured it out myself by searching for sync Ipods in ITunes Help.  I was hesitant to sync my IPod because I thought it would wipe it clean..pictures and everything.  But, it did not.  I made a playlist of all the songs I wanted to transfer to my IPod.  Then I followed the directions in Help and synced it.  It loaded 3523 songs in a few minutes.  I was amazed it worked.
