Why do I have to restore my ipod touch every 2-3 months because something has become corrupt? Is there no way to restore my ipod while saving my data as well?

I constantly have problems with my ipod touch 4g. I previously owned an ipod touch 2g but I would always end up having to restore it because of something silly. This time, my 4g 8 gig ipod touch needs to be restored. I synced it to my desktop and I deleted some apps to free up space. After the sync, both itunes and my ipod show 0 bytes free and the "other" section takes up over 1 gig of space. Everyone says to restore it but I don't want to end up losing my data and music again. Is there anything I can do to keep my data and fix this little glitch?

All the music should be on the computer so you can just sync the music back to the iPod after you restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod. Regarding app data, just export (email/file sharing etc) as much as possible so you can import it back.

Hello xerxes.nashion,
It sounds like your iPod is not recognized by iTunes or your MacBook Pro. I recommend following the steps in the article below for an issue like this:

What did the error message say?
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

HT201364 i have all the requirements except 8gb of available space. my mac only has 4gb capacity.is there any way to get a smaller version of the mavericks software?

That refers to free disk space, not RAM. If your computer has 4GB of RAM, that's enough. If it only has 4GB of free disk space, you need to delete content from the internal drive; for best results, free up at least 20GB.

HT201269 my IPOD touch completely died. I just got a replacement. Is there a way to put the songs that were on the old one onto the new one?

My IPOD touch completely died. It will not power up. I bought a replacement. Is there a way to transfer the music already purchased onto the new IPOD from Itunes?

Just sync the new iPod with the computer that you used to sync the old iPod.

How much can an Ipod touch screen can resist ? because i slept over mine but theres no problem yet (i weight 80 kg)

At the moment theres no problem with my ipod it works perfectly. But i want to know if something can happen to it if I continue sleeping over it (accidentally).

The sceen is quite strong/break resistant with a distributed force like you laying on it in bed. It does not fair weel will point conntact. Dropping an iPod on the corner will almost surely break the screen since all forece in in a small area.

I got my iPod Touch five days ago, and I cracked the screen. Is there any way to replace it for free?

Can I replace the screen for free?

Maybe yes but likely no. Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store and find out.

Is there a way to undo an iPod touch restore from an iPhone 5?

I was synching my new iPhone 5 to my Macbook Pro when I accidentally restored it to my old iPod touch instead of starting new at the welcome screen. Is there a way to undo the restore to get it back to the iPhone 5 format instead of the iPod touch one? I've already managed to get my contacts back but can't figure out how to undo back to the iPhone 5 "factory settings" without getting rid of the couple of purchased apps etc. Feeling like SUCH a newbie! Help!

Yes, restoring deletes everthing on the iPhone. You will then have to resync the apps from iTunes on your computer, or re-download them from the iTunes Store:

NO. Once deleted in iCloud, it cannot be restored. Try your iTunes backup

My friend's iPod touch 5th gen is locked somehow for 41 years and she does not have a backup. Is there a way to unlock the iPod without restoring it or loosing the pictures and videos from the camera roll?

My friend's iPod touch 5th gen is locked somehow for 41 years and she does not have a backup. Is there a way to unlock the iPod without restoring it or loosing the pictures and videos from the camera roll, the applications can be redownloaded and she had no music. Is there any known bug about ipods locking on their own because no one seemed to have tried to bypass the 4 digit code and it is locked for 26 million minutes.So thank you if anyone has any information or help for us.

Your friend may have placed the ipod next to an object that repeatedly pressed the screen. Under certain circumstances this can lead to what appears to the iTouch to be failed attempts to access the system. After repeated failed attempts, the Touch increases the waiting time required for the password and may ultimately lock in the way you describe.

The instructions are in that link. Just follow them VERY CAREFULLY. Especially the part about:
Turn off your device and leave it off.
Plug in your device's USB cable to a computer with iTunes. [but DON'T connect it to the iPhone yet]
Hold down the Home button on your device as you connect the USB cable. Keep holding down the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
When you see the iTunes screen, release the Home button. If you don't see this screen, try steps 1 through 3 again.
When your device is connected, iTunes will open. You'll see a message saying that iTunes has detected an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch in recovery mode.
Hold down the Home button on your device as you connect the USB cable. Keep holding down the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.

The following says how to restore from backup.
iOS: How to back up
If you go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices you can see if you have an iTunes backup. You need one dated before or the exact time you started the restore.
