Why has my ipod asked to be restored so often?

Twice within the last 2 weeks, my ipod has asked to be restored.  I don't sync it with itunes very often so therefore I lose items on the ipod.  The battery gets drained pretty often and I'm wondering if that is why it needs to be restored?

If you let the battery fully drain that could cause the iPod to need to be restored after charging. It could also be due to a hardware probem or some corruption inthat is now in the backup.  You could try restoring to factoery defaults/new iPod and see if that fixes the problem.

  • Why has my iPod Touch stopped connecting to my WiFi?

    Why has my iPod Touch stopped connecting to my WiFi?
    It's been fine for the past 2 years but today, it's stopped. It was working this morning...
    According to settings it has connected but I cannot access anything online and the internet icon is missing.
    WiFi is working on my phone & laptop so it doesn't appear to be a problem with the router. Also I've just synced my iPod with iTunes, reset and restarted - still no luck.
    Any suggstions?
    Thanks

    Did you already try to reset the network settings in Settings/General/Reset?

  • Why 'reset all settings' asking me to restore from backup

    My 'facetime' stopped working for some reason. I did use facetime just a day ago and didn't do changes since then. For some reason it stopped working. So, as per my wife's advice, I did 'Reset all settings'. But, for some reason after doing its thing it is asking me to 'Set Up iPhone' with these options:Set Up as New iPhone, Restore from iCloud Backup, Restore from iTunes Backup. This scared me...did I lose my media. I have tons of videos and pictures of my son. I didn't want to lose them. So, I jsut stopped proceeding. Can some one help me?

    I wouldn't go through the restore process yet, might as well set it up as a new phone( this basically tells the phone you want it as is [which in this case is full of data]) then see what you get, if there is no data then you can always do the restore from a backup
    Incorrect.  Restore as new does just that, it wipes the phone and returns it to it's new out of the box condition with no data or settings.
    It's not asking him to restore as new, re-read it. It is asking him to setup as new. Which is a common occurance when you reset all settings, even though it doesn't delete data from the phone.
    So OP, you can do what randers4 wrote and spend some time going through the restore process, or you can tap on setup as new and check it out in 1 minute to see if the data is there. Whichever you do, I'm sure you will be fine. If you do setup as new and the data is not there, then proceed to restore from a backup.

  • Why is my iPod asking me to log into my old email?

    Hey everyone, I've searched everywhere and still not found a solution for this, so I thought I'd post myself.
    So, I changed my apple ID email back a few months ago, and ever since, it's asked me to periodically log into that old email, I log into the new one to download
    apps and things, but the old one just randomly pops up, and is really annoying. Is there anyway I can fix this?
    I've tried:
    • Logging the old email out from EVERYTHING.
    • Deleting and reinstalling all apps under the old email.
    • Resetting everything besides contacts and things.
    • Contacting apple. [they didn't really understand my problem].
    • Pretty much anything else I've seen on other forums.
    Haven't tried:
    • Full restore [Really want to avoid at all cost].
    Can anyone help me? Btw, I have the second newest gen iPod touch.

    What are you doing when you get that message? Are you opening an app? Checking Mail?
    What is the exact message?

  • Why does my iPod ask for a activation from my old Apple ID?

  • Why has the ipod classic crashed?

    I have a silver ipod classic. When i plugged it into my computer, to charge,it crashed displaying, "ok to disconnect" I tried to reset it and hold and unhold it however none of these methods worked. I've been on the Apple support site and followed the instructions but the Ipod still displays the same thing. I would be very appreciative if you couls help me.

    The iPod displaying "OK to Disconnect" suggests that it is in Disk Mode, which is a supported function of the iPod, not necessarily a "crash."
    I want to make sure the iPod reset has been attempted, per this explanation:
    Ensure the HOLD switch is OFF so that there is NO orange color showing beneath the switch. Then, press and hold the MENU and the SELECT (center) buttons together for about 10 seconds, until you see an Apple logo. When you see the Apple, let go of the buttons and the iPod will restart itself.
    A reset is all that should be required to get the iPod out of disk mode. If you are unsuccessful, you may want to attempt to restore the iPod in iTunes:

  • If I delete a song on my iTunes, why does my iPod ask me if I want to transfer it back?

    I get a message during synch of my iPod (Classic) that says "there are purchases on your iPod that are not found in your iTunes library - do you want to transfer these?" This always makes me paranoid that maybe I have songs I want on my iPod that somehow aren't in my library, so I used to say "yes"....but then after a while, it seemed apparent that what was "missing" from my library are songs I have purposely deleted.  So then I was going through this endless loop of deleting, then transfering back, then deleting, then transfering back, then deleting......
    So, my question is: if I delete a song or game or whatever in my iTunes library, shouldn't it then just remove it from the iPod?  As I mentioned above, I find it confusing/alarming when it starts asking me if I want to transfer stuff back from my iPod.  Not sure how to tell what it is that it wants to transfer back?  Is there any setting that would tell iTunes that when something is deleted in the library, go ahead and delete it from the iPod?
    Thanks!

    If there a way where I won't have to delete it?
    I have these on my phone, ipad, home computer, and work computer.  If I listen to something, then I may have to delete 2 or 3 times on all these devices.
    Thanks

    My iPod classic 160GB isn't recognized by iTunes anymore. I started it in disk mode and reset it, but now the message appears that I need to restore my iPod in iTunes. But iTunes doesn't recognize it when I connect it to my laptop and on the display "do not disconnect" appears. Now what do I do? I'm quite desperate and hope someone can help.
    Thanks in advance...

    - 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.
