Lost January Update and I am Pi$$ed

After reading the horror stories about the version 2 update, I elected not to update. I received the prompt then to update to 1.15 which I did. Shortly after I did, all of my files on the Ipod were transferred due to some kind of a glitch to "other", and as a result things such as music were not accessible on the Ipod....
So.... stupid me, I restore the Ipod. And in the process, the January Update is now lost and was not reinstalled on my Ipod and no longer appears in the software version on the Itunes summary....
Now what really has me pi$$ed is that I had a number of important items stored in notes.... and when the January Update vanished, so did my notes.
Now what do I do other than steam....
How could anyone consider this crappy little device as a plausable replacment to a Personal Organizer when your next sync could be the end of your data. A note pad and pencil is more reliable.

Since last night I have installed 2.0.2 and it is working and it also kept all of my old data which is a relief....
However I am still angered as I bought and paid for the update in January. Apple accepted my payment without hesitation, then because they stopped offering or supporting the upgrade, I am up the creek without a paddle? Don't even if they opt not to sell it anymore, shouldn't they offer support to those who originally bought it for a reasonable length of time?
If I buy a car and decide to have the radio upgraded, then two months later the car company stops offering that model of radio, does that mean if my radio quits it is reasonable to accept that the car company can just leave me high and dry? I think not, but only my opinion.

I've formatted my PC, Restored my Touch and now I've lost January Update!!

Hi All,
I bought the January software update on the day of release, and it's worked very nicely thanks Apple. However, since then I've formatted and re-installed my PC due to prolonged problems with 64-bit iTunes on RAID. I've also restored my iPod Touch to factory status because the aforementioned problems had caused a large portion of the iPod's capacity to become unavailable. Everything's now working perfectly, except I've lost the January update on the iPod, so I'm back to square 1.
This is probably as much an iTunes question. How do I get the software update back onto my iPod without buying it again?
Thanks.

Likewise on my Mac. Everything was peachy and I was extremely happy using the new apps until I had to reset my iPod Touch to factory setting. I synced and got everything back but the Jan. Software Update. Going to iTunes and my purchase history to report a problem didn't do anything it seemed, but flag it. Anybody else out there who has been able to retrieve their purchased January Software update back onto their iPod Touch and using Leopard? Please include instructions on reply, could be I'm doing something wrong. Apple support instructions on troubleshooting this issue is sketching at best and no help whatsoever.

Lost January Update on preowned Touch

I bought a used Touch on ebay and was told it had the January update on it. It is not there. What can I do to recover the lost update. The seller has recently assured me the update was purchased but may have been lost when she deleted files. Any ideas?

Hi albourrie,
She will have to send you the "iPod touch App Pack 4A93.ipa" file, as well as her iTunes account information (Apple ID and password).
If you can't get this data, I would recommend you to wait until June, because we will have to pay for the 2.0 Upgrade (if you're interested in), which also include the current features.
Hope this helps!

I was updating ipod touch to new iOS5 and it told me that all data would be lost with update and to put it oon computer, but update not there. How do i update with out this happening?

I am looking for some help with updating to iOS5, i downloaded to computer to avoid losing data on ipod touch but update was not there. I've done three times and same result. If I have all music on usb drive will I be able to reupload it after update, or is there another way to do it by transferring my music from ipod touch to computer and the re-installing in itunes. Alot of the music I have is copied off of discs and not from itune purchases. Any help will be greatly appreciated and my computer skills are satisfactory but I am by no means a computer guru. Thanks

As all of the msuic came from your computer in the first place it should still be there. Is it not?
EVERYTHING on your ipod should also be on your computer and should be included in your regular backup copy of your computer.
Make sure that everything is on your computer. You can transfer itunes purchases from the ipod. Without syncing: File>Transfer Purchases.
When everything is on your computer, then it can be synced back to the ipod after updating.

Just bought an iPod Touch without january updates

Hi,
Two days ago, I bought an iPod Touch 8GB in the Apple Store of the 5th avenue. I asked if the firmware included the january updates and the Apple salesman told me all iPods were up to date.
Unfortunately, this was wrong. I paid full price for an iPod Touch without the updates, and I can't find any link to customer assistance for such an issue on apple.com. Since I already left NY, I can't go to an Apple Store, too.
Anybody knows what to do? I find it really amazing that 1 month after the updates, such a problem can occur.
Thanks

Hello,
Try giving AppleCare in France a call and explain the situation. Keep calm and ask if it's possible that you send in proof of purchase in return for credit on your iTunes account for the difference:
(Metropolitain) (33) 0825 88 80 24 (DOM-TOM) (33) 0825 77 00 35
Let us know how you get on.

I have updated my iPhone 3s to the latest software. I had backed up my phone before I did this. Now I have lost my music and apps. I can't sync the phone with my Mac, I can't re-download as the phone says I don't have any music or apps available. Help!

I have updated my iPhone 3Gs to the latest software in an attempt to iron out a problem with a new telephone network provider (Tmobile). I had backed up my phone before I did this. Now I have lost my music and apps. I can't sync the phone with my Mac, I can't re-download from iTunes as the phone says I don't have any music or apps available to re-download although it all shows up on my Mac. The music and app content cannot be restored when I try to restore the phone from the back up I madeon my Mac. Help!

Working on that now. I'm just getting frustrated that everytime I run updates for the phone I end up with tech problems that I have to spend time solving as opposed to updates that actually improve my usage. Now I will once again get to spend hours reloading my phone all for updates that didn't affect my usage in the first place.

I have a iPhone 4 s I did the software update ages ago and lost my camera roll then did the update and they all came back then on Christmas eve they have all gone !!

THis is now the 5 th time I have written this !!!
I have a iPhone 4s i did the software update ages ago and lost the camera roll .....then I did the update and all my photos returned ...now on Christmas eve they all dissapeared
I now just albums .... All Photos but that only has 77 photos , and that's it over 1000 photos have just gone ??
PLease help me !!

Why should we care how many times you've written this? Are you making multiple threads? Are they being deleted by the Hosts?
Did you make a backup of your iPhone before you updated the iOS?
Did you import the photos to your computer?
Were the photos in the Camera Roll, Photo Stream or synced iTunes albums?

Looks like you restored your backup file to her phone. If you didn't back up your wife's phone first, then the data is gone, sorry.

I lost my Iphone 3GS. My brother has given me his Iphone 4 now. We both use the same notebook to update and sync our phones. I would like to know how can i reconnect back to my account using the Iphone which was previous used by my brother.

If you are saying that you both have iCloud accounts and use the same icloud ID, then yes, the contacts will be deleted. The idea is that all devices using the same icloud ID are kept in sync. You need to use different IDs. You can keep the same iTunes ID so you can share the songs and apps. But use different icloud IDs.

Lost January Software Update, how do I get it back?

Hey ya'll, im new to apple and its products, only be an apple user for 7 months, and am still planning on getting the new iPhone and Macbook Air when I get more money, lol. But, for now, only product i have is iPod Touch, and I just had this problem happen to me and dont know how to fix it. I just scrolled it from an email i sent to their support. Hope you guys can help me fix it.
Thanks
"Hello. I am really confused now, so Ill just get right to it. Last night, when I hooked up my iPod Touch to my computer, my computer first recgnized it, however, when I went to my iPod no movies or no songs were on there. I unpluged it, pluged it back in. Then it says your iPod cannot be recognized, and so I had to format my entire iPod Touch, losing all my settings, and the 2008 January Software Update that I paid $19.99 for. So then, I go back into my iTunes account, after restoring it, and re-syncing all my songs and videos back to the iPod, and it says that I never paid for the January Update ($19.99), which I did, and 3 Metallica songs ($0.99/ea) that I purchased that same day. So then I go and try to put my credit info back on, to "pay" it off again, and it wouldnt let me, and said something about enter a vaild security code, which i did (the 3 numbers on back of credit card at the end in a box), numerous times. I would like to know how do I get my january oftware Upgrade back, as well as my 3 songs I purchased in January 2008."

First, see if the update is gone, or not being utilized:
The iPod touch January Software Upgrade can only be synced to iPod touch from the primary iTunes library. If the user is manually managing music and video on iPod, this is the computer where they first set up the iPod or first set it up after restoring the iPod. The "iPod touch App Pack 4A93.ipa" file can be copied from the computer where you purchased it to your primary iTunes library computer, and sync the iPod from there.
The file is located here:
Mac OS X:
~/Library/iTunes/Mobile Applications
Windows XP
C:\Documents and Settings\[user name]\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\Mobile Applications\
Windows Vista:
C:\Users\[user name]\AppData\Roaming\\Apple Computer\iTunes\Mobile Applications\
Note: These locations are hidden by default in Windows. You can these locations by choosing "Show hidden files and folder" in the View tab of the Folder Options Control Panel.
Now, if you can't get this to install, you can try to set your Touch to automatically sync instead of manually sync.
If that doesn't do it, login to your iTunes store account within iTunes, goto your account, and select "report problem"
They should be able to help you with the downloads and the update from there.

Ipod touch and january update help.

hi
i just reinstalled windows xp in my computer and i didnt back up the january updates from my itunes folder. when i synced my ipod after the reinstall it said i had to restore the ipod and after that the jan updates were gone.
someone at the apple store suggested going into itunes store and making sure i could see that i had purchased the jan updates and then scncing the ipod which i did...still didnt work.
can anyone help. the updates no longer exsist on my machine so i was hoping i could download them again without having to pay the $24.99 again or even waiting for the july 11 updates.
help...please

If you didn't back up the "iPod touch App Pack 4A93.ipa" file before you reinstalled your OS, your apps are gone, for now. It's an iTunes Store purchase, just like any music/videos purchased, and if not backed up, it's gone if you lose/wipe your HDD.
Apple has removed the January Upgrade from the iTunes store, so spending the $19.99 to get it back is not even possible.
Your best bet at this point is to wait for the July Upgrade (coming July 11th).
Hope this helps...
