When I update my ipod software...

When I update my Ipod software, will it only delete music from my Ipod itself or also from my Itunes Library?

Either way, it would be a good idea to have your entire iTunes library backed up elsewhere in case something happens to your PC.
Best of luck with the update.

  • When i try to update software for my 3rd Gen iPod Touch to version 5 i get the message 'This version of iTunes (9.2.1) is the current version'. My Mac OS is 10.4.11. How can I update the iPod software?

    When i try to update the software for my 3rd Gen iPod Touch to version 5 i get the message 'This version of iTunes (9.2.1) is the current version'. My Mac OS is 10.4.11. How can I update the iPod software?

    The later iOSs requires at least OSX 10.5.8 for the Mac.  You need iTunes 10.5 but 10.4.11 only goes to 9.x.. 10.5.8 is a paid upgrade.
    Are you sure that you have a 3G iPod?  If it is 8 or 16 GB it is a 2G and those can only go to 4.2.1 (also requires 10.5.8 or later). A 32 GB can be either  2G or 3G. To identify yours:

    Follow Troubleshooting security software. Often, uninstalling third-party security software will resolve these errors.
    There may be third-party software that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting a TcpWindowSize entry into your registry. Your default packet size being set incorrectly can cause these errors. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet size modification for assistance or follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP).
    Verify that access to ports 80 and 443 are allowed on your network.
    Verify that communication to albert.apple.com or photos.apple.com is not blocked by a firewall, or other Internet security setting.
    Discard the .ipsw file, open iTunes and attempt to download the update again. See the steps underAdvanced Steps > Rename, move, or delete the iOS software file (.ipsw) below for file locations.

  • My music will not sync to my ipod it only says revert and I cant open up music i purchased on itunes. I started having this problem when I updated my ipod

    My music will not sync to my ipod it only says revert and I cant open or play music i purchase on itunes. This problem occured when i updated my ipod.
    Thanks

    I also have a 4G ipod touch and a similar problem. Since I updated to the ios5 software any new songs I add to my iTunes don't sync to my ipod main playlist. They show up in the 'recently added' playlist, but not in the main 'songs' section. I fixed the problem once by restoring to factory settings and rather than reinstalling from a backup, I created a new ipod name and synced everything onto my ipod as if it was new.
    This worked until the next new song I added and then the same problem started all over again. If you do reinstall everything as new, you may want to take a screen shot of where all your apps are and make sure all your photos etc are saved, as everything will be from scratch. Hope this helps!

  • Problem Updating Your iPod Software

    I am running Windows Itunes 6.0 and Nano version 1.0
    I keep getting messages when I open Itunes saying I need to update my software and I follow all the prompts, extract files etc and then it tells me to restart my computer. I do that and nothing has changed. I am still working with the same software and it tells me I need to update.
    the Tutorial references a Updating Your iPod Software
    that never pops up for me.
    Any suggestion?

  • Updating iTunes & iPod software

    I recently puchased some songs from the iTunes store, but did on a different computer to the one on which I keep my music. I then tried to import the songs into my iTunes directory and I was propmted to update iTunes to version 7 (7.0.1.8). Having done this, I could play the new music, but the songs had to be placed in a different directory i.e. it would not place them in the iTunes directory. Next I went to synchronise my iPod, and I was told to update my iPod software to version 3.1.1 which I did. When propmted I disconnected the iPod from my pc, connected to external power to allow the update to complete. Reconnecting my iPod to my pc, I was told that the new songs would not synchronise because I had to update my iPod software !!
    So I disconnected my iPod once more, deleted the new songs from iTunes, made a few palylist changes, and reconnected my iPod. Very quickly I was told that iPod update was complete in iTunes, but my iPod is stilling flashing "Do Not Disconnect". Is this normal?

    I am removing this question as I posted another which was more concise

    Yep. 5th gen is failing OTA and via iTunes (both Windows and Mac). I couldn't install 6.1 Beta 5 over the weekend, and now the final version fails -- when trying to restore or update -- too.
    Many devs were mentioning that 6.1 wasn't installing on 5th gen Touches over on the iOS dev forums, but Apple released it today anyway. Weird. And not good.
    Not user error. Apple's screwed something up here...
    Well that's not good

  • HT4972 Will I loose all my music of the device when I update my iPod? I don't have any of the music on my iTunes

    I need to update my iPod software, but I don't want to if I'm going to loose all my music. I don't have any of the songs on my iTunes on my laptop because my laptop is new. I don't sync my ipod to my laptop for that reason.

    - Transfer 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
    - Connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up.
    - Restore the iPod from that backup. The iPod will be updated too.
    Note that the iPod backup that iTunes makes does not included synced media like apps and music.
