When restoreing a ipod to reset the password does it delete everything

Yes, restoring the iPod erases the iPod.
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
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.
You can redownload iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

HT1766 when you restore your ipod does it delete all your music

need help anyone out there ?

When you restore via iTunes all your synced media like apps and music have to be in your iTunes library. The iPod backup that iTunes makes does not included synced media.

When you sync your Ipod using Itunes does it back up your photos?

Title says it all,
when you sync your ipod does it back up your photos automatically.. Preferrably the photos that are in the camera roll?
My ipod won't turn on at all, I have tried everything and I am thinking it might be a battery issue at this point but anyways.. I might buy the Ipod Touch 5th Generation and I REALLY need the photos that I last had on the ipod. The day before the ipod decided to die on me, I synced it to my computer to put music on it and stuff so I am wondering if it backed up the photos as well?

Yes iTunes backs up your iPod automatically every time you sync unless you have the Summary pane in iTunes for the iPod chacked to backup to iCloud. In that case yo have to manually backup to iTunes.

Yes, the iPod backup that iTunes makes (and iCloud makes) includes photos in the iPod's Camera Roll album.

If you restore your ipad, does all your data get deleted?

If you restore your ipad, does all your data get deleted?

This could solve the "other" problem that you are experiencing right now. You really have nothing to lose by trying.
Backup the iPad, restore to factory settings and then restore from the backup after you restore to factory settings to recover everything. You will also have to sync with iTunes in order to get your apps, music, etc back onto the device after restoring from the backup.
That may totally solve the problem. But, on the other hand, as you mentioned, if the backup itself is the culprit - meaning that the backup is corrupt - when you restore from that backup, you could be right back where you started.
Sometimes, when the "other" cannot be fixed any other way, you do have to restore to factory settings and NOT restore from the backup. Obviously you will lose all data when you do this, but you can still sync your iTunes content back to the iPad and you will not lose any music, apps, books and so on, as long as they are in iTunes on your computer.
Most purchased content can be downloaded again at no charge as long as you use the same Apple ID and as long as the content is still available in the store in which you bought it (Music in iTunes, apps in the App Store ...)
If that does not answer your question, just post again and I will do what I can to help you further.

I'm using my brothers computer, who has an IPod too, so now I'm wondering when I set up my ID with his Itunes does his Ipod still work with it??? Or would his ITunes just see my IPod? Or does his Ipod ID change to my ID?
Or does it work without any problems, to setup two IDs on the same computer??
Thanks!

Is it normal when you closed your ipod touch and your theme song is gone?

Is it normal when you closed your _ipod touch 2nd generation_ and your theme song is gone? What I mean is that when I listened to this certain song and I closed the ipod and I opened the ipod up again, and go to "music" to listen to the song that I just listen, the "Now Playing" page is not coming up no more. Instead, the whole music's page come up. I'm just wondering if this is normal for the ipod touch? Or there is something wrong with mine? If it not normal for the ipod touch to be this way, anybody know how to fix it? Your help would be really appreciated.

yes, this is normal behaviour - at least for the 1st Gen, and i can't see any logical idea why it wouldn't - (presumably as when you turn your ipod off, it thinks you are finished with it.) BUT if you just put your ipod into sleep mode, it will remember the song (you will have to pause it, otherwise it will continue playing)

If you restore from backup - then no data loss.

How do you restore your iPod? HELP ASAP PLEASE!!

Okay, i've had my iPod for awhile, and this is the first problem i've ever had!
When i plug in my iPod into iTunes, a pop-up comes up and says :
"iTunes cannot read the contents of the iPod 'Kelsey's IP."' Use the iPod UPDATER to restore the iPod to Factory settings"
I have NO idea what that means, i tried to reset it, but nothing happened? I went to preferences, and it doesnt even recognize that my Nano is plugged into the computer anymore! This happened after i plugged my Nano in, took it out of the connector, and then plugged it in again, and it didn't recognize it! PLEASE HELP ME! I don't know how to fix this & Don't know what i need to do to fix this!
THANK YOU

Hello Kelsey!
Before you do a restore, first try to get your computer recognizing your iPod by putting it into disk mode, then connecting it to your computer again. See the details laid out here:
How to put your iPod into disk mode
Also, see these articles:
iPod appears in Windows but not in iTunes
iPod does not appear in "My Computer" or in iTunes
If you believe you need to restore your iPod, then I'll explain here how to restore your iPod.
Plug in your iPod.
Close iTunes if it is currently running.
Go to: "START -> All Programs -> iPod -> iPod Updater [the date of your iPod Updater's version]".
Open the iPod Updater. When it recognizes your iPod, click on the "Restore" button. Restoring should take about 5 minnutes.
Note that restoring your iPod will delete all the contents off of it, but will not affect your iTunes library.
If you have any trouble with restoring your iPod, or need any other explanation, just post back, and I'll be here to help you...I hope this helped!
