Trying to get some data back on iPod touch

I reccently had to restore my ipod due to the fact that i forgot the password. I redownloaded an app and it had the old data from a while ago, like it hasnt been updated. I have iCloud though so im thinking maybe it can restore the reccent data. If I hit the "back up now" button in iCloud, on my ipod touch, will it restore the old data since im pretty sure it was one of the backed up apps or will it save the data that's technically old. I guess you can say im confused on what backing up something actually means....

No. If you tap the back up now, the iPod will backup to iCloud overwriting the previous backup. Yu need to restoe the iPod from the iCloud backup. Yu can do that by going to Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and settings. Then on the iPod select restore from iCloud backup. The iPod should be connected to a power source since ther is alot of stuff to download,

Total rookie trying to get on-line with my ipod touch.

Ok... I just got a new ipod touch for my family and have no idea what is happening when I try to go on-line.
Whenever we try to go to a web site we are asked to select a wi-fi network. When we choose on, we are asked for a password or to join. I have no idea what to do from here?? as I said, we are absolute rookies here?
Any help would be great!!

Welcome aboard!
When you see a list of WiFi networks, you'll see some of them have a little lock symbol next to their names, and others do not have that symbol. The ones with a lock are the ones that have been password protected by their owners. Unless you know the password, you won't be able to get onto those networks.
Instead you should look for and choose the ones without a lock symbol. Those are the ones that are not password protected and therefore will allow access by your Touch. It might not work all the time (maybe there are configuration issues with that network), but it will usually work.
However, if the open network is one that is pay-to-use (such as at an airport or at a cafe), it will seem like it lets you onto the network, and yet you cannot get Weather to work or anything else. If that happens, try starting up Safari. Try to go to a web site. If your destination gets hijacked by a login page, then you know this is a network that requires you to log in (and perhaps pay) before you can use it. For example, I was in two different airports last week. In one I got access but it was pay-to-play. In the other one, it also popped up a login screen on Safari, but it was just to have me acknowledge that they were providing free access. Once I clicked to acknowledge, I was online without any problem.
In summary, you have four different scenarios with WiFi:
1. None in your immediate area. You aren't going online.
2. Ones with locks. Unless you know the password, you aren't using them.
3. Ones with no locks, but they create a splash screen in Safari. Maybe they want money to use, maybe they don't. Give 'em a shot and see.
4. Ones with no locks and no barriers to entry. You can go online with them unless there are some odd configuration issues.

TS2890 Trying to get games etc. on to ipod touch but having major problems..!

When I try and sign into my Store app on my ipod touch that I can only get to by going into my settings the only thing that happens is that a pop up message shows on screen saying that I have not used my apple Id in itunes yet and to tap on reveiw or cancel . When I tap on review it does Nuthing at all. I also dont have the itunes app on my ipod touch so this is causing major problems for me as it does not seem as if i can sign into itunes on the internet or even when i try and sign in on my laptop as I have itunes downloaded there.This is more then fustrating as I cannot see the reason why everyone I know that has an ipod touch does not have this problem and im trying to solve this problem for over a year and nuthing seems to be working ...?? Any suggestions would be a major help..!

I'm trying to get new apps on my iPod Touch

I updated the software and updated iTunes.
But when I click on the Apps tab in iTunes for my device, I see the Apps I downloaded but I cannot check them to sync with my iPod. They are unavailable. I'm using Windows 7 if that makes any difference.
Any suggestions?

On your iPod Touch head to Settings -> General -> Restrictions and make sure either all restrictions are off or that at least Installing Apps is Off.
Any luck there?

How do I get my music off my iPod Touch?

I had a virus and had to delete all the data on my computer. I am now setting iTunes up again and I tried to get my songs off my iPod touch. It transfered only a small portion of my music, only the songs I had purchased in the past few months or so. I am authorized on this computer, and the few songs I got by trying to sync the songs off my ipod. How do I get my music off my iPod so I can listen to it on my computer?

You'll likely need the assistance of some third party software to help you recover the non-iTunes purchased music. See this older thread for a few possibilities.

I am traveling out side of the U.S. and I am trying to up-date some apps on my iPod touch and now I'm getting this message... "Account Not In This Store Your account is NOT valid for use in the Ecuadorian store. You must switch to the U.S. store... help!

Please, is there anyone one out who can help me solve this problem? I just can seem to figure out how to get to the U.S. store... thanks!

I just read this solution, tried it & now it's working...
I think I found a fix...I went to Settings, iTunes & App Stores, then click on your Apple ID...view Apple ID...change country region to USA (even though it was already USA...just do it again...go through the steps making sure the United States store is selected...agree to the Terms of Service, THEN I think what the key is is to RE-auhorize your credit card...in my case all I had to do was enter the security code...and it worked...I am now able to download the YouTube app for example...couldn't do it before.

All of your data and synced content such as music, videos, podcasts, should still be in your iTunes library. If they are you can simply configure it to sync back over to your iPod from iTunes. If you have a previous backup to restore from, now would be the time to do that.

I have updated my mac from snow leopard to mountain lion 3 days back. I had some important data in my library folder and it got overwritten. Is there any way i can get the data back from my snow leopard library folder?

I tried mackeeper to recover files but it could not. Any other way any one has tried to recover a system library folder after OS upgrade?

No, it doesn't store a clone. You would have needed to make one with either SuperDuper or CarbonCopy Cloner.
If the files were in your ~/Library folder then they may still be there. As I said, you can access it by
going to your Finder "Go" menu hold the option key to choose "Library". I wouldn't think an upgrade would overwrite anything in ~/Library.
If you have a Time Machine backup you may also be able to use that to retrieve them.

Unless you uploaded data to Dropbox or some other cloud based storage app or you created a back up, there is no way to retrieve the data. Sorry!

If still problem that means the backup does not include the data.

I accidentally synced and erased conents on my ipod. Is it possible to get my data back?

Hello cynthialou13,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
I accidentally synced and erased conents on my ipod. Is it possible to get my data back?
Not very likely, even with the use of recovery software. If the content that was on your iPod is not in your iTunes library, then it looks like you may be out of luck. Sorry.

If i erase my ipod can i reuse my apple id and get my data back

if i erase my ipod can i reuse my apple id and get my data back?

Yes if you backup the iPod
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.
