Usual computer crashes during synchronisation. Can I trust my PC to update my iPod anymore?

OK, While my iPod touch 4G is Sync-ing with my netbook (Acer aspire one, Win 7 starter) I get a pop-up error diologue box; "iTunes has crashed and needs to be closed. Sorry for this inconveinience" -Do excuse my spelling ;D
Should I trust this PC to update my iPod to iOS 5 when it's released? Or should I use my Dad's PC (I've used that for most of the updates, up until I got my netbook.)
I know that if anything goes wrong, there's always something to fall back on (DFU, Recovery) I'm just being cautious. I'll give you helpful answer if you respond and correct answer points to anyone I feel has helped to re-assure me / Set me on the right road.
Thankyou anyway.

Time for a new PC it seems, although provided you do not sync with your Dads PC it should not be an issue just to update the OS that way.

    Connect your iPod to any computer with iTunes installed, highlight your device and try syncing the apps only. If it doesn't work might have to restore through iTunes. With the new iTunes and iCloud beta, you can have the iTunes list what apps are missing on your device but if you had previously purchased in the past and then have iTunes install them. You should always get in the habit of backing up your iPhone whenever you do any firmware/OS updating/upgrading or transferring over to new device. I really really really really hope you can get back at least some of your old info. I will tell you this, I have been kicking myself in the butt for not routinely backing up my iPhone when my beautiful special iPhone 4 came up missing and had to revert back to my 3GS. iPhone 5 will be released in a few months so I am holding off on purchasing a new iPhone til then, not that I did so without reservation and a little bit of iPhone 4 withdraw.

  • Computer Crashed During Album Download

    Hey, my computer crashed during an album download, and I'm still being charged for the entire CD, even though I only received five tracks. I've searched iTunes and this website with no luck, but is there some kind of customer service that I can e-mail or phone about this? ..It just seems like a waste of $10. Thanks.

  • Computer crashed during software update

    Currently using OS X Lion, started the latest software update and computer crashed during the update. I forced the computer to turn off, but when I turn it on, it returns to the same "crashed" condition (grey screen with an apple logo in the center, plus the time symbol spinning).
    Greatly appreciate if anyone can help me. Thanks!

    Back up all data, then boot from your recovery partition (command-R at startup) and reinstall the Mac OS. You don't need to erase the boot volume, and you won't need your backup unless something goes wrong. If your Mac didn’t ship with Lion, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade, so make a note of those before you begin.

  • Computer crashed...can I download my music from my ipod to my computer?

    my computer crashed and all the music I had was erased but my ipod still has it. Is there a way I can download it from my ipod to the computer?

    Hello la chefesse,
    And welcome to Apple Discussions!
    There are several ways you can pull the music off your iPod and onto iTunes. The first link below provides step-by-step instructions for the direct method if you have a PC as well as a few third party applications (for both the Mac and PC) if you choose to go that route instead. You can also do a simple Google search for "copy music from iPod to computer" and you should receive a number of sites that can help you out.
    Just make sure that when you have your iPod plugged into your computer, that you don't hit "Erase and Sync" before completing the task of copying your music over.
    Also, if you have any purchased music, you will probably have to re-authorize your computer by heading to the Store drop down menu and choosing "Authorize computer."

  • HT1386 My old computer crashed and I can't sync new songs from my new computer to my IPod without erasing all of the existing content on the IPod.  Can new songs be added without erasing?

    My old computer crashed and I can't sync new songs from my new computer to my IPod without erasing all of the existing content on the IPod.  Can new songs be added without erasing?

    Yes by:
    Using iPhone, iPad, or iPod with multiple computers
    However, you can make this computer the syncing computer by:
    - Transering iTunes purchases to the computer by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
    - Transfer other music by using a third-party program like one of those discussed here:
    Copy music
    - For synced photos you need a program like TouchCopy or PhoneView. The do music too.
    - After everything is on the computer connect the iPod to the computer and make a backupo by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
    - Restore the iPod from that backup
    Note that the backup that iTunes makes does not include synced media like apps, music, synced photos.

    I have 2 ipods,one for music and the other for old time radio shows.Each had their own file.My computer crashed and I had to buy a new one.Now both ipod files are merged into one.How do I seperate them on the computer?

    Hi Craig
    Unfortunately, in your case, there isn't really a way to separate them as far as I can think.
    You could try restoring from a backup, and choosing an older backup perhaps
