Updating iPod Touch Software Version and Apps saved game data

When I transfer my apps from iPod touch to iTunes will it also moved the saved game data like in Zombie Cafe, Amateur  Surgeon 2 so on and so fort? Because I want to update my software version...

No.  Transferring the app to the computer only transfers the app itself. not app data.  App dat is stored in the iPod backup that iTunes makes as the first step of the a sync and of an update.  Therefore, I would do one last sync of the iPod before restoring and ensure that the backup gets made.  You can check by going to the Devices tab in iTunes' Preferences and looking at the date of the backup.  Also, make sure your apps are in your iTunes library since the apps themselves are not in the backup but are synced to the iPod at the end of the update.

  • Just synced and updated os for ipod touch 5th gen and have lost game data - restore won't get it back, is there anyway to retrieve?

    Have new ipod touch and successfully transferred game data from old ipod touch, but today have updated to the new os (from 6.1.2 to 6.1.3) and now have lost game progress on several apps.
    Have tried to restore the backup but it doesn't bring back the game data
    Is there anything I can do to find this data or is it gone for good?

    If restoring from backup did not work then there is nothing else you can do. Did you try both from iTunes backup and iCloud backup? If you restore from iTunes backup you have to have the apps in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup.

  • I was halfway thru updating ipod touch software, got error 1602

    I was halfway thru updating ipod touch software, i walked away from computer and when i came back there was an error "1602" and a picture on my ipod (requesting to connect to itunes?) but WILL NOT WORK AT ALL!
    What's going on?  Seems like a lot of people are having similar problems all at the same time.

    From the article cited at the end of my post:
    Error 1602: Try the following steps to resolve this error:
    Ensure proper USB isolation troubleshooting has been performed, and test with a known-good cable.
    Follow the steps listed for Error 1604.
    This error may be resolved by disabling, deactivating, or uninstalling third-party security, antivirus, and firewall software. See steps in this article for details on troubleshooting security software.
    Error 1603: If you receive this error and the iOS device is not automatically placed into recovery mode, it may be necessary to do so manually. Refer to iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to restore for steps on placing iPhone into forced recovery mode. Also, remove the IPSW and attempt to restore again. If you do not want to remove the IPSW in the original user, try restoring in a new administrator user.
    Error 1604: This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, uninstalling and reinstalling USB ports, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections, device not recognized properly, computer won't recognize a FireWire or USB device). If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the USB 30-pin dock-connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.

  • Hi, i cant update my ipod touch software version.

    Hi, I think I've got the 2nd ot 3rd generation of ipod touch. its basically like the newer version, but without the camera. When i click on check for update, it says its update, but its not up to date because my sister has got a better version. i asked her to do it, but she doesnt know how to do it. Please help.

    - If you have iOS 4.3.3 as you indicate they yu should be able to update to iOS 5. 
    - Do  you have iTunes 10.5 installed on the computer?  You need that for iOS 5.
    - If you have iTunes 10.5 and are sturck with iOS 4.2.1 they you hae a 2G iPod.
    - To determine the iOS go to Settings>General>About>Version.
    - You said: "When i click on check for update, it says its update"  I assum that mean it says yuy iPOd is up to date.

  • Help with updating Ipod Touch software

    So about a week or 2 ago I downloaded the newest version of iTunes because when I went to update the software on my Ipod Touch it said I needed the newest version of iTunes. So when I did that it said my software was up to date (even though it wasn't) and it said to check back for the next update on 10/31/10. So just a few minutes ago I opened up iTunes, plugged in my Ipod Touch, and again it said my software was up to date and now it says to check back on November 7th. Now my Ipod Touch is on 2.2.1 software and I want to get it to the newest software but Itunes won't let me do this. Does anybody possibly know why iTunes is doing this and how to fix it?

    It says that it will automatically check for updates on those dates. You can check whenever you like.
    Only 2nd gen and later can get the newest upgrade.
    You can purchase 3.1 for the 1st gen ipod touch:

  • IPod Touch Software version 4.1 (8B117)

    Just downloaded this version via Itunes yesterday. Problem is that when the device is connected to my audio receiver and I hit play, the song will play for less than a minute or so then I won't be able to get the song play anything else without turning off the receiver and starting over again. Not only that, but when the TV is turned on for the display of the contents of the Touch, when the song kicks out and you turn everything off, the display won't come back. You have to fiddle around and power everything down, unplug, disconnect the Touch etc etc. before it will start over again then quit again, seconds into the song. I listened to music through the ITouch on its own and there is no problem with stoppage there - so far it's just when playing through my receiver. There were never any problems before so I'm blaming the software update. I also tried powering the Touch down and re-trying but this didn't help. Anyone else have a similar glitch? By the way, I plugged an old IPOD Mini into my reciever, still has an older software version on it, and it plays just fine, everything (including TV display) is perfect. Is there a way of reverting to previous versions of I Touch software?

    Same (somewhat) problems for me too. I have a Samsung shelf stereo that has the "Made for ipod" symbol on the box. When I put the ipod in the cradle I have no audio through the receiver. As well, the monitor I have connected does not display the contents of it. It just displays "Connecting to IPOD", then goes blank and repeats. This is my first ipod, so I have no idea if one with an older version works or not. The owner's manual for my stereo does state however, that compatability does depend on the software version of the ipod...
    shrug.

  • Itunes wont update ipod touch software 3.1.3

    I have a 2nd generation iPod Touch running software version 2.1.2.
    I want to buy the new 3.1.3 software via iTunes. When I connect the iPod Touch to my PC and click on the device name in iTunes, I'm given option of updating to version 3.1.3. But when I click "Update" I get an alert window repeating the fact that new software is available, and asking if I want more information from the iTunes Store. When I then click "Learn More" (which is the only option other than "Cancel"), iTunes simply reloads the same status screen.
    I've also tried to buy the software update by accessing the iTunes Store via iTunes, but there is no apparent link to do so.
    I've also found Apple's link on the web(http://www.apple.com/ipodtouch/softwareupdate.html) to buy version 3.0, but clicking the link simply switches me to my iTunes application, and i repeat the same loop from above.
    Any help on this would be appreciated.

    Well, if your iPod Touch is newer that a first generation device, they you can get iOS 4.2.1. If you have a first generation device, OS v3.1.3 is the newest you can get.
    Also, as best as I can remember, iPod Touch os 3.2 was never released. the iPad shipped with OS v3.2 but the iPod Touch went from 3.1.3 to iOS 4.0 (or maybe it was 4.01)

    I've an Ipod touch 1st generation bought in 2008 and now I can't upgrade my apps or some of them disappeared. My ISO is the 3.1.3 version How can I solve this problem

    You can't. To more easily find apps for 3.1.3
    iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
    Vintapps 3.1.3 - paid app.
    Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version.

  • IPod Touch No Content and apps Quit immediently after opening them

    My iPod touch second gen is just over a year old and has the 3.0 update and now at 3.1.2, the problem i am now facing is that my ipod touch is randomly telling me i have no music and no movie content and when i access my apps they quit before they even open. all other things such as pictures and web and email still work. i'm on holidays and am shortly about to go on a 1 day train trip home and my computer is at home and my ipod is playing up again. the only solution i found was that if i re-sync either my music or my movies it makes my content come back but only for about a week.
    Please give me either a solid answer on how to fix it or tell me what exactly causes this to happen.
    please spare me of detials on if this happens to you because ive found hundreds of forum sites on this topic filled with people talking about his happening to them and no answer on how to solve it.
    thankyou soo much to the person/ people who have an answer to my urgent proplem.

    I have a first generation iPod touch and have loved it. I was having problem accessing WiFi so I updated itunes to 9.0 and the touch to the 3.1.2. Since the computer I originally synced to has died I synced it to another computer in my home. I didn't worry about losing my apps as there were all free and I figured I would just download them again. I now have WiFi and email however, now that I have tried to install facebook and a few other apps, they all crash before they even open.
    I have tried:
    installing apps and then restarting my iPod,
    resetting my iPod,
    restoring my iPod (twice with no success),
    installing the apps through itunes and then syncing,
    the only thing left would be to restore not using my backup. I dont' want to do this as I have all my contacts and information that I don't want to use.
    Can anyone help me or should I just go get a blackberry?

  • Ipod touch software version 3.1.1

    I installed this software today but it wiped all of the music from the library on my ipod and now it will not sync. The error message is "cannot sync ipod unknown error occurred (13019)". The music is still on my itunes.
    Has anyone else experienced this or have a solution for the problem?

    If you have the original iPod Touch (iPod Touch 1), you can't.  iOS 3.13 is the end of the line for that model.  If you have a newer iPod, you can update using iTunes.

  • Tried to update ipod touch software now stuck in recovery loop any ideas?

    tried to update software on brand new ipod touch but now stuck in recovery mode (displaying usb plug into itunes logo) any ideas?

    Maybe:
    Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes)
    Troubleshoot your USB connection. If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue. Please follow Troubleshooting security software issues. .
