What will happen when I restore my iPod?

I have a few songs that I downloaded from the iTunes store, and cannot get them off my iPod Touch. See this thread for full discription of the problem.
https://discussions.apple.com/message/16745511#16745511
Anyway long story short, what exactly happens when I restore it. Do I lose my photos, emails, contacts. Will all of the songs be deleted so I could re-sync them from my computer, the way I want them?
Can I also re-sync all my other stuff back to the iPod? This part is important to me.
Or would it be faster to go to an Apple store and have them delete the songs, @ 100km from my house.
iPod Touch 4th Gen 32GB - iOS 5.0.1 - iTunes 10.5.1.42 - Windows 7 x64

MY PC WAS REFORMATTED. WHAT WILL HAPPEN WHEN I CONNECT MY IPOD TO MY PC NOW

Hi everyone!
My pc was recently formatted, and now I want to add new songs to my iPod. What will happen to the songs in my iPod when i connect it to the newly formatted PC? (not all songs in my iPod are in my PC anymore).
Is there a way I can get all my songs from my iPod to my PC? If there is a way, would the songs remain organized from the iPod to the PC? Coz I am very organized with my iTunes and iPod, every artist, genre, album title is fixed.
Would the PC automatically update my iPod? I know there is a setting in iTunes where I could choose if iTunes updates my iPod automatically or manually, but I can't seem to find it. I'm afraid to connect my iPod now to my PC because this might erase and foul up my songs in my iPod.
Thanks and please help.

If your iPod is set to update automatically you just need to take care when connecting back to your computer and an empty iTunes. If it is set to automatically update you will get a message that your iPod is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press *No*. Pressing "Yes" will irretrievably remove all songs from your iPod. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it: Managing Your Songs Manually
You can also use a keyboard command to prevent your iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on Windows hold down the Shift + Ctrl keys (on a Mac hold down the Option and Command (⌥ and ⌘) keys). This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 20 to 30 seconds depending on your computer. Then go to Edit>Preferences>iPod and check the "Manually manage songs and playlists" box.
You can't sync or drag your music back directly from an iPod to iTunes, the transfer of music is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
If you prefer something more automated then there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod, this is just a selection. Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these, they are generally quite straightforward.
YamiPod Mac and Windows Versions
iGadget Windows Only
iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions
iPod Access Mac and Windows Versions
PodUtil Mac and Windows Versions
iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions
PodPlayer Windows Only
Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync again. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up in case you have problems again. External drives are comparatively inexpensive these days and you can get loads of storage for quite a small outlay.

What will happen when i restore iphone 5 to a new one

i wanna know if it deleted or forget my number if i restore it or will it be the same (i have no sim card)

Yes. Note that if you restore it as New you lose everything that is on it. If you restore it from a current backup you will lose only what is not stored in the device's backup:
Music
Books
Videos
Photos
These are either stored in the iTunes Library on your hard drive. Photos are usually kept in iPhoto unless you store them elsewhere.

What will happen if I restore my iPhone if it hasnt let me back it up?

I tried to back-up my iPhone 3gs but a message came up saying it needed to be updated first. I updated it and now there is a message on the phone screen saying that i need to connect to itunes, however when i try this, its telling me I need to restore my iPhone first. What will happen if I restore it with no way of knowing whether its backed up or not.
Thank you
Panicking!!!!!

Download iTunes into your computer/laptop. Upon iTunes completion, connect your iPhone 3Gs to your computer via USB port. Wait for a minute or 2. iTunes would automatically backup your iPhone without you doing anything. Make sure you're connected to WIFI.
Good luck

What will happen if I return refurbished iPod?

I made a stupid mistake when I recently ordered a refurbished iPod Nano for my girlfriend for Christmas.
I just didn't realize that the refurbished unit was a 1st generation iPod; I thought I was buying her a 2nd generation unit.
So, what will happen if I return the iPod? The box has been opened and she has used it for a couple of days. Will there be a restocking fee or anything of that sort?

Thanks for the reply and link.
Looks like I might be in trouble since I threw the box away.
I wonder if their "All products must be packed in the original, unmarked packaging" applies to refurbished products that just come in a plain brown box?

Dear Apple what will happen if I charged my iPod touch 5 gen for 9 hours?

Hello. Apple .. What will happen if I charged my iPod touch 5gen for 9 hours?

Charging for 9 hours will not damage the iPod. Charging stops when the battery reaches 100%.

Highly unlikely that it says any such thing.
Try telling us exactly what version of iTunes is installed and what if any messages appears when trying to update it.
What Operating System is the computer running?

They will stop syncing with no workaround unless you sync by plugging the phone into your computer using a USB cable.

If I have converted my purchased iTunes songs to a lower bit rate what will happen when I join iTunes match? Will they match up or will these be stored as duplicates of the same song?

If I have converted my purchased iTunes songs to a lower bit rate what will happen when I join iTunes match? Will they match up or will these be stored as duplicates of the same song?
I ask because I primarily use my work laptop which has limited space so I usually convert my purchases to 160k from 256k in order to save space. I want to sign up for iTunes Match but I'd like to know before I do so I can understand how I will have to set up my library.

What I may do is start a brand new library there, copy my tracks from my work laptop using Home Share and then the script to get things in sync before starting over again there too.
Why create a new library? Just add the tracks from the laptop to the existing library on the Mac.
crichton007 wrote:
I was just hoping to hear definitively whether or not there was some sort of intelligence built into iTunes Match that would match these up...
How do you mean? If you down-convert purchased tracks you've fundamentally changed the files so iTunes can no longer recoginize them as "purchased." And, indeed, they no longer are since they are brand new files. Of course these new files will only be "matched" or "uploaded."

What will happen if I restore/update my iPhone 4 currently on iOS 7.0.4 to the latest version while my cousin's unverified find my iPhone iCloud account is signed in? will it still activate the find my iPhone feature?

you would need to know your cousin's info in order to activate the phone.

What will happen when to Java 7 when Java 8 will roll out?

Hi, we have an application that relies on Java 6 and 7 to work. What will happen when Java 8 will be released. Will the notification instantly pop for users of Java 6 and 7 to install Java 8 (if they have the autoupdate feature set to on)?
This is quite important since our application is in end of life and won't get an update to work with Java 8.
Thank you.

Hi There ,
Number of bugs wills increase with your current development if you move to 8 , most probably solutions will be on Google Search by that time , then you just need to type "how to upgrade from JAVA 7 to JAVA 8 without any problems" , just don't worry be happy !
Thanks

What will happen when redo log file or archive log file, which is yet to be

What will happen when redo log file or archive log file, which is yet to be read by logminer is corrupted? It seems that the captures process hangs between “Paused for flow control” and “Enqueuing Messages”. How to come out of this condition without recreating the captures process?
Any clue is helpful
Thanks in advance for your help.

Basically you can't skip SCN since it will result in a data integrity issues (say you had skipped some inserts and later there will be some updates to a not replicated data).
Streams maintain their own checkpoint tables with transaction related stuff. So there is no way you can jump over a range of SCN's without recreating capture.
The only thing you can try - temporary give capture process a rule without any objects. But it will need to mine through the redo anyway.

What will happen when I put my jailbroken iPhone 4 in the computer?

I have a jailbroken iphone 4 still running on 4.3.2 firmware and I would like to get rid of the jailbreak and update it to 5. I understand that it will take my jailbreak off, which I have no problem with, but I'm terrified to plug into the computer. The computer I used for my iphone and itunes got a virus and everything was wiped out. I recently got a new macbook, but none of my info for itunes is on there and I'm scared if I put my iphone into the macbook I'll lose all of contacts! That's what I'm worried about. I don't care about the music or the apps and not so much the pictures. I'm just scared to lose my contacts. So does anyone know what will happen since it's jailbroken and I'm on a completely different computer?

When you jailbreak you void your warranty and give up any right to help on these forums.
Google your problem.
Good luck.
