Will iPod be backed up during upgrade?
Hello all,
I am in the middle of a move. The desktop that has all my media on it is on a boat somewhere in the Pacific and not scheduled to arrive until next month. I have my iPod hooked up to my laptop for the time being (syncing calandar and to charge).
What I want to know is if my songs, pictures, etc., will be backed up during the upgrade or is it going to wipe all of those off since I'm not on the computer that stores the media. (My laptop has no songs, pics, anything) Nearly all of my mp3's are from ripped CDs...
Thank you,
Ethan Caine
Hi Ethan Caine-
Yes I am. I really am not sure exactly where all of the information is being stored. In your case I might be tempted to make sure that you have manually transferred anything that you want to keep to the laptop from which you will be doing the upgrade.
It did inform me that a movie that I rented will not be backed up, but that particular movie had expired anyway.
It is still backing up.
Luck-

When will ipod touch get a camera upgrade?
When will ipod touch get a camera upgrade?
We're all just fellow users here and as such have no idea when Apple may release an upgrade to the iPod touch and what such an upgrade might include. Sorry, but we'll all just have to wait until such time as Apple announces something new.

IPod will not turn BACK ON! Cold weather?
My iPod will not turn back on. I left it in a cold car for a few days while I was at my family's house, and the battery must have died while I was there. I came home and plugged it in, but it wouldn't charge or turn on. Help!!
Try sending it to the itunes store because when i left my ipod in a car for a few days it worked fine. if you haven't tried the 5 rs try those first.
To reset your iPod nano (2nd generation):
Reset
1. Toggle the Hold switch on and off. (Slide it to Hold, then turn it off again.)
2. Press and hold the Menu and Select buttons until the Apple logo appears, about 6 to 10 seconds. You may need to repeat this step.
Tip: If you are having difficulty resetting your iPod, set it on a flat surface. Make sure the finger pressing the Select button is not touching any part of the click wheel. Also make sure that you are pressing the Menu button toward the outside of the click wheel, and not near the center.
If the above steps did not work, try connecting iPod to a power adapter and plug the power adapter into an electrical outlet, or connect iPod to your computer. Make sure the computer is turned on and isn't set to go to sleep.
Retry
Retry your iPod with a different USB or FireWire port on your computer (please note that the latest iPods can only be synced through USB).
Restart
Restart your computer, and make sure that you have the latest software updates installed.
Reinstall
To reinstall your iPod nano (2nd generation):
To update and reinstall your iPod software, first download the latest iTunes software.
Next, open the new version of iTunes and connect your iPod to your computer. iTunes will then automatically check to see if your iPod needs to be updated and perform the update for you.
To then check the software version on your iPod, select it from the source list in iTunes. iTunes will display the information about your iPod.
Restore
To restore your iPod nano (2nd generation):
Warning: Because Restore erases all of the songs and files on iPod, make sure to back up any files you've saved on the iPod disk. All of your songs, videos, podcasts, audiobooks, and games can be loaded back to your iPod provided that you have them stored in your iTunes Library. If you use the Nike + iPod Sport Kit, see this document for more information.
How to restore your iPod:
Make sure you've reinstalled the latest version of iTunes.
Open iTunes, and then connect your iPod to your computer.
After a few moments, it will appear in the Source list in iTunes.
Select your iPod in the Source list and you will see information about it appear in the Settings tab of the main iTunes windows.
Click the Restore button. You will be prompted with one or more restore options that may prompt iTunes to automatically download of the latest iPod Software. The 4 possible restore options are:
Restore Option 1: Restore - Restores with same iPod Software version already on iPod.
Restore Option 2: Use Same Version - Restores with same iPod Software version already on iPod even though a newer version is available.
Restore Option 3: Use Newest Version - Restores with the latest iPod Software on your computer.
Restore Option 4: Restore and Update - Restores with the latest iPod Software on your computer.
A progress bar will appear on the computer screen indicating that the first stage of the restore process has started. When this stage is completed, iTunes will instruct you to leave iPod connected to your computer to complete restore.
During the stage 2 of the restore process, the iPod will show an Apple logo as well as a progress bar at the bottom of the display. It is critical that the iPod remains connected to the computer or iPod Power adapter during this stage. Note: The progress bar may be difficult to see since the backlight on the iPod display may be off.
After stage 2 of the restore process is complete and the iPod is connected to the computer, the iTunes Setup Assistant window will appear asking you to name your iPod and choose your syncing preferences similar to when you connected your iPod for the first time.

IBook repaired, songs bought through iTunes will not transfer back to iPod
i found the way to get my songs from my iPod to my computer, but now all of the songs i bought through iTunes will not go back to my iPod. error message is "some of the songs, including "so-and-so" (actually it's Alice Cooper's Feed my Frankenstein :)HA!) were not moved to the iPod because you are not authorized to play them on this computer." the problem is, this is the same computer, it's just been wiped by Apple and i reinstalled everything. i see in one of these forums that you can apparently double click on the song to get it to transfer back, but i have about 3000 songs, so it's hard to tell what i bought from iTunes from what i had already. can anyone help me do this in one foul swoop? THANKS!
thanks. will try that when i get home.

My iPod turn off randomly. I plugged it in to the charger, and after several hours, it still will not turn on. I even plugged it into my computer and pulled up iTunes, where it showed up on the screen as plugged in, but still it will not turn back on. Any suggestions on what I should do?
- First try resetting the iPOd:
Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
- Next try restoring the iPod via iTunes, first from backup and if still problem to factory defaults/new iPod. -
My Ipod touch 8gb will not turn back on no matter what i do i have tried just the power button, the power button and home button, and connecting it to the computer and the battery wasn't close to being dead non of them work what do i do?
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 another cable
- 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.

My 160GB ipod classic stopped whilst playing music and will not turn back on despite having almost a full battery. I have tried connecting to itunes and a docking station but will not turn on at all - HELP?!
I've had this from new for 2 years, the battery life is excellent and lasts for days so I know it's not a power issue as it was fully charged that morning. No signs of connection in itunes, it's not showing as a connected device.
Can anyone please help?Hi gscoops,

i restored my ipod after backing it up but now all my music and apps that are in itunes on the computer will not sync across
Did you restore the iPod on this computer?
What exactly happens when you try to sync?
Does iTunes see the iPod?
Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
If so have you done anything like update iTunes on the computer since it last successfully synced?
Do the songs play in iTunes?
Does any media now sync to the iPod?
Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

Right now my ipod classic is set on 'music'. When I push the munu button, it will not go back to the main menus, but it will still go forward and select and play music normally. I tried resetting it by holding the menu and center buttons until the apple logo appeared, but the problem is still there.
If your battery level is low, recharge it first for at least 2 hours, preferably 4 hours.
After the Apple Logo, you release the buttons, what do you see on the iPod screen? (language selection?)
Have a nice day! -

i need to deauthorize all of my computers before adding my new one. will my library remain intact and will i need to simply plug my ipod touch back in to the pc? thx
1. The library will remain as is. Back it up anyway.
2. Authorize that computer individually before connecting the iPod touch to it.
