Will all data be lost if i restore ipod on itunes

will all data be lost if i restore ipod 5G on itunes

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 most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

    All of the data should be on your computer, simply sync it back.
    If the update was done via iTunes on the computer, the first step in the process is a backup of the device.

    I lost all data in "notes" on both my iPod Touch and my new Ipad within minutes of each other.  How can this happen?

    Where were the devices doing since the content was there and when you found it missing?
    DId you power it off ond then back on?
    Did you reset the iPod?
    I would try resertting the iPod. Noting is lost.
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • Trying to restore ipod but itunes says no internet connection.

    Trying to restore ipod but itunes says no internet connection. Uninstalled and re-installed itunes but still have same problem. Trying to restore because I uploaded songs from Yahoo music jukebox to ipod but they won't play. They are listed as "other" and I can not access them to delete or play. Tried to delete through music jukebox but now it say " error reading content" so I figure restoring ipod is the only way to fix problem.

    Does this help?

  • My upgrade to iphone software seemed to work but restore failed (1602)- now phone no longer recognised by itunes and itunes only offers restore to factory settings and warns that this will remove all data- also phone is in restore mode- unusable

    so I did the  itunes upgrade to 10.5.1 and then teh iphone 4 needed to b e upgraded to new ios5.1 - seemed to go all the way through, and the final restore seemed to fail. Now the phone is no longer recognised as personalised, just as iphone. Also  i cannot restore from backup, only restore factory settings and i am warned that I will lose all data. Can I force a restore from back up?  can I guaruntee that I can keep data from backups??

    Same with me. Anyone have an answer??

  • Backed up iphone 4S before updating to ios 6 and now all data is lost. PHOTOS, CONTACTS, MESSAGES ALL GONE. help?!

    Can someone please help...
    Before updating itunes backed up the phone. It then proceeded to update to the ios 6, afterwards when restoring all photos, contacts, messages... all data... was lost. Only the apps were restored back onto the phone. I used a back up from when i first got the phone in 2011 to restore it too so i have some photos and contacts... HOWEVER, over 2000 photos are lost and some contacts still from the recent back up and restore after updating to ios6.
    Any help as to how to get these back?!

    Hi MorganClare990,
    Do you know if you have a backup on another comptuer or maybe iCloud?
    If you had Photo Stream on you might be able to get any photo that is less than 30 days old back from iCloud if you don't have a backup.
    Make sure you have a WIFI connection available and the correct password for that network before continuing with the next steps.
    The easiest way to find out if you have a backup without mixing your boyfreinds data into your iCloud account is to go to Settings > General > Reset > Erase all content and settings.  You will need to be able to connect to the WIFI network to be able to restore your phone from any iCloud backup you have.  If no backup can be found then it will have you setup the iPhone as new and will walk you through the steps to make sure a backup gets created in the future.  If you have to setup as new it will also get photo stream setup and will retrieve any pictures it can.
    Hope this helps and you get your pictures and contacts back!

  • If I reset the iPad all data is lost unless it is synced some where else right?

    If I reset my I pad I loose all data that is not saved some where else, right?  My I cloud is out...all grey

    A reset as outlined below will not damage/remove data.
    Push and hold the Home button and the Sleep/On/Off button at the same time for approximately 15 seconds (until silver Apple logo appears), ignore slide to turn off indicator. Allow to restart as normal.

  • If use restore IPOD on itunes, leave new version of OS?

    If i press restore on the iTunes said that the data will be lost, I havo no problem with that, but, restore the original OS version?..
    I want to use the version that had after the 1.0.3

    Apple doesn't host older versions of iPod software, so you would need to have the previous version still on your computer.
    Look in "Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPod Software Updates" for previous versions you may have downloaded.
    If you have 1.0.2 there you should then delete all other updates from the iTunes/iPod updates folder.
    Then prevent iTunes from checking the internet for a new update (preferences/general and remove the check mark from "check for updates automatically) or simply disconnect your modem from the computer.
    Then either update or restore the iPod.
    You should then be asked if you want to use the previous version of the iPod software.

  • ITunes messed up - how to restore iPod to iTunes?

    My father has asked for some help. He has an iPod, which was correctly sync'd to his iTunes on his Windows XP computer.
    However, some 'expert' came and messed with his computer. Now, his music is spread over a couple of folders, and the iTunes appears to have some duplicates. (His iTunes also no longer plays any music, but that can wait until we've resolved the first problem.)
    I'd like to help him completely clean up the mess and restore iTunes to a pristine condition, correctly sync'd with his iPod. I had a good look at his computer, but as I don't have iTunes or an iPod, I don't know what to do next!
    How can he...
    1. Wipe out everything from his iTunes (and from the folders) on the computer, and then:
    2. Restore his entire iPod into his iTunes on the computer to the correct iTunes folder, and:
    3. Correctly get the automatic sync working again?
    Obviously, I will back up the music that is already on his computer first, just in case!
    As an extra note, his iPod is currently set up completely correctly, as he wants it, so at this point he doesn't want any changes to the iPod. He only wants his iTunes to work again.
    Thank you to anyone who can offer advice.

    All you can do is to restore and thus erase the iPod unless you can get a data recovery company to preserve the data.
    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

  • Lost my music on ipod, but itunes has it

    While putting music on iTunes, and connecting my iPod, the iPod became blank and no longer contains my music. However, iTunes has all the music. iTunes popped up with this message, "The software required for communicating with the iPod is not installed correctly,please reinstall iTunes to install the iPod's software."
    If I reinstall iTunes, will all my music be lost?

    Try the instructions in this article; reinstalling iTunes won't delete the contents of your music library.

  • How to restore ipod via itunes while ipod is in disk mode?

    I am trying to restore my ipod via itunes. My ipod is corrupted and I can only connect it to the computer while the ipod is in disk mode. After ipod is connected and in disk mode, the first stage of restore via itunes begins, the bar appears, fills up and then disappears. Then my ipod seems to disconnect from the computer and begin an infinite reset loop algorithm. How do I successfully restore my ipod while it is in disk mode?

    I have the same problem, but my ipod stays in disk mode all the time. Won't show in iTunes.tried Apples suggestion to restore in disk utility, but no dice! I have tried everything and now I will give up, maybe it's too old?

    Hello there,
    And welcome to Apple Discussions!
    So, are you repeatedly being asked to restore your iPod by iTunes similar to that described in this Apple support document?
    [iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode - Use iTunes to restore|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1456?viewlocale=en_US]
    If the same message keeps appearing, you may have to reassign your iPod's drive letter. You can find instructions on how to do this in this Apple support document.

  • Problems Restoring Ipod w/ Itunes 7 (please respond)

    So, I've had trouble getting my Ipod to update or restore using Itunes 7. I really need to update my Ipod so it will be compatible with my Bose Sounddock remote. Anyway, I uninstalled Itunes 7 and installed Itunes 6, (as I read in some of the previous posts) but I can't figure out how to restore my Ipod using Itunes 6. Is there anyway to get back to the original settings, (I made the mistake of updating to 1.2.1 and now it's stuck there) so I can update again? Thanks,
    -Mack

    Well, you were completely correct with your fears. I just ran into this exact problem and was asked to restore my iPod to factory settings, but was unable to to so since the option is not actually there.
    Much hate for the integration.

  • Can't restore iPod in iTunes 10.5.3

    I cannot restore my iPod in iTunes 10.5.3. The Restore button just opens an Open finder dialog. The same thing happens for the Check For Update button.

    That Finder dialog will pop up if you hold Option when you click Check fo Updates or Restore.
    If that's isn't it try to delte the .ipsw files that iTunes has already downloaded from Finder > Go > Library (hold Option to see it) > iTunes
    Rename, move, or delete the iOS software file (.ipsw)
    iTunes uses "ipsw" files to restore your iPod or iPhone. If those files  are unusable, then try deleting them, renaming them, or moving the file  to a different directory. This will cause  iTunes to  download a new copy of the IPSW.    When a restore issue is specific to a  user, it is likely due to an unusable .ipsw file. If removing the .ipsw file does not resolve a user-specific restore issue, then the issue is caused by other user-specific security software settings or iTunes preferences. Creating a new user  will also cause new .ipsw restore files to be downloaded in the new  user. You can find the ".ipsw" files in these locations:
    Mac OS X
    iPhone
    ~/Library/iTunes/iPhone Software Updates
    iPad
    ~/Library/iTunes/iPad Software Updates
    iPod touch
    ~/Library/iTunes/iPod Software Updates
    Note: The tilde "~" represents your Home directory.
