New iPod mini, but I don't want to delete old songs

So I got a new iPod because my battery had worn out and I used my warrenty. However, I heard rumors that if I register my new iPod that I will lose all of my music in iTunes. When I click on iPod Updater, it shows two buttons, "Update" and "Restore". However, "Update" is faded out and does not give me the option to click on it. I am afraid that if I click "Restore" I will lose all of my music in iTunes. Please help.

I'M NOT SURE, but I think if you wanted (just in case) if you wanted your music to be saved to your 'My Documents' folder, on you can. Pull up iTunes (that you used for your old ipod). Go to Advanced on your tool bar. Then go to 'Consolidate Library'. I THINK that might do it. Again, I'm not sure that's what did it for me.

I want to sync my ipod touch with my new computer. But I don't want to lose any data from my apps.

I want to sync my ipod touch with my new computer. But i don't want to lose any data from my apps. If i erase and sync does it only erase music and videos or does it include apps as well? I specifically don't want to lose any data from Instagram, I don't want to have to start over. Any help is greatly appreciated Thanks

Copy everything from your old computer to your new one.

Yes there is. Those songs are not actually on your iPad. They are in iCloud ready for download if you choose to do so. If you want to remove them go to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Show All>Music>Off. You can also do this in Settings>Music>Show All Music>Off.

Welcome to the Apple community Mick.
Back up your iPad 2 and use the back up to restore your new iPad.

HT1296 I have lots of apps that I don't necessarily want on my iphone all the time, but I don't want to delete them from my itunes account permanently. Is there a way to add apps manually?

Is there a way to manually manage apps? I have lots of apps that I don't want on my iphone all the time, but I don't want to delete them from my itunes account permanently.

Deleting apps on your phone does not remove them from your account. They can be re-downloaded for free from the App Store, or synced from your computer as needed.
The easiest way to manage apps is to connect to iTunes on your computer, go to the Apps page of your device in iTunes, select which apps to remove, then sync.

Backup your old iPad and then setup your new iPad using that backup. Then delete what you don't want from the new iPad.

Old iPhone backup shows on iCloud shows 9.8gb of data stored, but only 978mb from my new iPhone 6? My new. phone appears to have everything, but I don't want to delete the old backup file incase something's missing - can someone explain the size dis

Hello ShannonT-1977,
It sounds like you need to look at your iCloud storage data to see what is taking up all the space. You should be able to do that with this article:

ICal synch wants to delete old entries

Recently when I use BB Desktop to synch with my new MacBook, it wants to add 2, modify 482 and delete 1053. The first 2 are not a problem but I do not want to delete old iCal entries.
I've tried adjusting to synch only Future or synch between -999 and +999 days to no avail.
What work around can I use to get back to synching?
Thanks

Solved!
Go to Solution.

This helped me for this problem...
On your BlackBerry, go to the Calendar, then press the Menu button, and select Options. Do you have a settings that says "Keep Appointments" set for a specified time.
If yes, you will need to change that to forever.
Once I changed that, I did an overwrite sync of the BlackBerry (I use Missing Sync). Then normal syncing worked fine without deleting old events.

I have a new ipad mini and I want to sync with my ipad, but I don't want to sync photos or music as it takes up all my memory.

I have a new ipad mini and I want to sync with my ipad, but I don't want to sync photos or music as it takes up all my memory. How can I do this?

I'm not understanding what you're wanting. You don't sync ipad to iPad. You can sync both devices to the same iTunes account or same computer.
And you can choose the content on each device. I have an iPod and iPad and maintain separate content on each one.

When i plug my ipod into my laptop, it comes up as a new ipod. It says it can't sync and wants me to restore it to its original factory settings but I don't want to because I will lose everything.

You have no choice but to restore the iPod. You can restore from backup if y have one.
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up

The progress for some games will transfer since some games synce progress to a cental server. For other games you will have to have the backup of the old iPod.
You can restore from backup or access the backup. See:
How to transfer game saves between iOS devices, without iTunes, and without jailbreaking | TUAW - The Unofficial Apple Weblog
If you have acces to the old iPod yu can make a backup by connecting the iPod to the computer and right click on the iPOd under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up. Then restore from that backup.

I have an iPhone and an iPod with the same iCloud/Apple ID but I don't want have the same stuff on them?

Ok so I have an iPhone and an iPod which share the same iCloud/appleID. I did this today when I got my new iPhone I put in my iCloud details which put everything I had on my iPod onto my iPhone(I was unaware this happened). I'm happy with all the apps added straight on and my contacts added but I don't want to have all my photos from my iPod on my iPhone. I want to keep the photos from my iPod on my iPod and when I take pictures on my iPhone they stay just on my iPhone. I'm wondering if this is possible as it's with the iCloud? I have previous synced my iPod on my laptop when adding music ect but I don't know if that effects iCloud I don't really know but I'm worried if I delete all the pictures off of my iPhone then sync that then sync my iPod into the same laptop will it wipe those pictures since there off my iPhone? I don't really get how all this works so help is very much appreciated!! And I hope what I've wrote makes sense to someone!

Welcome to the Apple Community lizzie.
If you don't want photo stream to sync your photos between devices go settings > iCloud and uncheck photos, do this on each device.

I recently changed my apple ID but the old on is still on my iCloud account. The old address is dimmed on iCloud on my iPad so I can't change it. How do I change to the new address? I don't want to delete the account as I don't want to lose the pictures

To change it, you have delete the existing account. However you can avoid losing any pictures in the process. To avoid losing photo stream photos, save them to your camera roll (if not already there) before deleting the account. To do this, open your my photo stream album, tap Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll. (Camera roll photos are not effected by deleting the account.)
Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with the new ID. This deletes the account and your iCloud data from your device, but not from iCloud. Provided you are signing back into the same account, your iCloud data will reappear on your device when you sign back in.
