Will my apps and pictures be deleted when I update my iPod Touch?

Well, my iPod Touch is generation 2 (I think).  Anyway, I want to update it except I'm afraid that it might erase all the apps, songs, pictures and movies I had downloaded and synced in it.  I don't really have a problem with the songs and movies being deleted, I can always sync it again from my laptop.  I'm worried about the apps and pictures.  Will they be affected?
Thank you.

As a clarification, the backup that iTunes makes does not include media synced to the iPod like apps, music, synced photos (photos taken by the iPod are backed up). If the media is not in the iTunes library on computer for synced photos), it will not be on the iPod after the update. For what is in the backup see:

  • When you update an ipod touch does all of the pictures and music come back?, When you update an ipod touch does all of the pictures and music come back?

    I just want to know if you can get all of your pictures back when you update an ipod touch?

    All of your music, apps, photos, videos, etc, should reside on your computer, not just on your easilly stolen,, lost or damaged prtable device.
    A normal update, or even upgrade, restores all your settings and data from the backup thats created at the start of the process. Even if something goes wrong, you can sync back everything from your computer.

    Yep. 5th gen is failing OTA and via iTunes (both Windows and Mac). I couldn't install 6.1 Beta 5 over the weekend, and now the final version fails -- when trying to restore or update -- too.
    Many devs were mentioning that 6.1 wasn't installing on 5th gen Touches over on the iOS dev forums, but Apple released it today anyway. Weird. And not good.
    Not user error. Apple's screwed something up here...
    Well that's not good

  • Will my apps and pictures be saved on Icloud?

    I need to reset my Iphone. When I go to reset it to a new Iphone it says all content will be erased. Will all of my apps and pictures be saved on my Icloud? After I reset it how to I access my apps and pictures to download back onto my Iphone?

    You should perform a backup to icloud if you haven't done that.  But I'd recommend that you also backup to itunes since restoring from itunes is faster and in my opinion more reliable.
    As for pictures, not all pictures go to an icloud backup, on those in camera roll.  You should always sync pictues to a computer for archiving, relying on an icloud backup can nip you in the bud  if you haven't set things up right.  Always sync to a computer!
    Read this...  import photos to your computer...

    When you reset the device (deleting all data from it) you will go through the setup procedure and will be given the option to restore from itunes or icloud.

    Yes ... from your iPhone.
    Hopefully you have them backed up somewhere.

  • HT1349 some of my songs got deleted when i updated my ipod

    Some of my songs got deleted when i updated my ipod

    This is rediculous!!! What type of "UPDATE" erases EVERYTHING when it fails?????? I just "Updated" my iTouch, it couldn't backup because I don't have 60 Gigs on my computer (and I'm sure no one else in MAC land does either! ) It updated the software, i gues failed... looked like it worked, then said it's returning to factory settings, found an old back up from three onths ago, then wiped my iTouch IN THAT ORDER. Oh, well my name is still on the iTouch. THANKS APPLE FOR NOTHING!
    Are they going to recover my iTouch's data?????? This is rediculous!!! What lousy software iTunes is with lousy programmers making it!

  • Will the app specific files get deleted when i remove/uninstall an app from iPad

    I mean those files added to an app using iTunes. For example, pdf files added to a reader.

    I've learnt that this data do get deleted along with the app during deletion/uninstallation. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

  • Why doesn't the older updater version get deleted when you update the Ipod

    Which caused me to have 3 updaters on my PC I was able to delete iPod Updater 2005-09-23 but when I try to delete iPod Updater 2005-02-07 it will not delete. I used the add/remove programs to delte the first one. And I deleted the setup icon for that one too.

  • Purchased app and it has not shown up on my ipod touch.

    After purchasing app, it has not popped up on my ipod touch screen.

    Connect the iPod to your computer and select it on the left-hand sidebar of your computer's iTunes (if you have iTunes 11 on your computer then you can enable the left-hand sidebar via control-S on a Pc, option-command-S on a Mac). Then on the right-hand side select the Music tab and select what you want to sync.

  • My movie got deleted because I updated my iPod Touch & can't get it back. Help.

    Yesterday I decided to update my 4 generation iPod Touch, before I updated it I synced all my stuff I had in my iPod that I haven't synced yet onto my iTunes library, but my movie didn't get synced and I didn't know that so I updated it anyways. After I updated it, I wanted to get all my music, TV shows, podcasts, the movie I mentioned & apps back. Then I realized I didn't sync my movie into my iTunes library and I don't know how to get it back. I went to the iTunes store on my iPod & I saw this section called "Purchased" so I thought all the stuff I have bought in the iTunes store would be there, but it only appeared the TV shows & music I've bought, not the movie. I need some help please :l

    You can contact iTunes and explain what happens and then may allow aa redownload.  Unlike for apps and music (some countires only)  a redownload is not guaranteed.

  • When you update your iPod touch to iOS 6, does it also do all previous updates?

    I never updated to iOS 5 (because connection always timed out, and I could never get it to work), so will it fix bugs from that update also?

    Yes, you update to the most current iOS version for your model iPod.
    Disabling the computer's antivirus and firewall during the download and update usually resolves the timeout error.
