will the new ipod software update erase all of the music off my ipod??

Unless you plan to restore it, if all you are doing is updating the firmware then nothing will be erased from your iPod. Even if it was you just have to reload from iTunes or your back up.

  • Ipad2 will freezes when downloading the new ios software update

    ipad2 will freezes when downloading the new ios software update.  When i hold the Base Button and Sleep button together it just does the same thing.  Tried to plug it in directly to my iMAC and it says it can't help me b/c I have a passcode lock.  Any solutions?

    We don't know, and no one will know until Apple has announced it. Furthermore, speculation is forbidden here.

  • How do you view lyrics on itouch with the new Jan. software update??

    How do you view lyrics on itouch with the new Jan. software update??
    Thanks!!

    1) You need to have the paid upgrade installed.
    2) You need to paste the lyrics into the lyrics tab of a song/album.
    3) You need to re-sync the Touch.
    4) When playing music, you click on the album cover (in portrait mode only) and the lyrics will superimpose on the screen.

  • And need the new iTunes 11.1 to be able to use my iPhone on iTunes but I need the new mac software update OXS 10.6.8, but my mac doesn't need or have an update what should I do! I'm upset :'(

    and need the new iTunes 11.1 to be able to use my iPhone on iTunes but I need the new mac software update OXS 10.6.8, but my mac doesn't need or have an update what should I do! I'm upset :'(

    The requirements for iTunes:
    Macintosh System Requirements
    Mac computer with an Intel Core processor
    OS X version 10.6.8 or later
    400MB of available disk space
    Broadband Internet connection to use the iTunes Store
    Your Mac must be able to run OSX 10.6.8. If you can run that OSX then you can run iTunes 11.1.
    Which Mac do you have?

  • TS3219 I have purchased new songs from iTunes and they are in my Library, however I cannot transfer or download the new songs to my iPod..I believe this is a new problem maybe since I downloaded the new Apple software update...HELP ?

    I have recently upgraded the new Apple software and now when I purchased new songs they show up in my tunes library However, I cannot transfer or download them to my iPod shuffle...any help is appreciated..my son is having the same problem downloading to his iPhone 4.

    From your OLD computer...
    Copy your ENTIRE iTunes FOLDER to an External Drive... and then from the External Drive to your New Computer..

    An Added Bonus is that you will have a Backup of iTunes.

  • I just installed the new itunes software update and it completely whiped my computer and have lost all my files? can some one expalin to me what happened and how do i undo it?

    Can someone please help me! I installed the new itunes software onto my computer it shut down then when i tried to log back into my computer all of my documents and everything was gone! the only thing remaining was my recycle bin. but my documents etc are gone!
    I tried to uninstall the software but it still hasnt made a difference! Has anyone had the same issue and if so how do I fix it? I need all my documents back!!

    Installing an iTunes update does not remove your media or personal files.
    Are the files actually missing off the computer, if so, you have a serious computer issue... not a software update issue.
    Regardless, use the backup of your media and other important files to put everything back.  You do have a backup, correct?

  • When I loaded the new ios7 software I  found that now the kindle app will not sync my "furthest page read" from iPad, or vice versa. Can someone help me?

    When I loaded the new ios7 software on my ipad, I found that I could not sync my iPad with the kindle app.  I hesitate to delete the app and reload it in fear I will lose all my books.  Can anyone help me?

    Ask in the kindle forums.
    Isn't all your kindle stuff archived by amazon, so that you can't lose it by deleting the app?  In any case, nothing to do with Apple.

    Try a reset ...

    If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings

  • I bought a new laptop and accidently erased all of my music

    I bought a new laptop and was trying to sync when I accidently erased all of my music, can I get it back?

    Were the files erased from the internal drive (of the computer), or from the device?  If they are no longer on the computer's HDD then you had better hope that you backed up your files with a Time Machine back up, a cloned copy of your hard drive or copies transferred to an separate external drive. If they have been erased from the device  then it is a simple matter of loading them back to the iPod.

  • Will updating my ipod touch with the new update erase all my pictures/music/apps?

    I want to get the new update, but I have music on my ipod from other people's computers. Is updating my ipod going to erase everything on it and start all over?

    The update itself will not affect your music. However, anytime you do a major update like this one there is a risk that there could be other issues that would require you to restore your device (not likely, but possible). Therefore, you should back up your device before you do the upgrade.
    Back it up to iTunes on a computer, or to iCloud. Then do the upgrade to iOS 7.
    That way, if you do have an issue that requires a restore, you can restore it to the backup you created.
    Cheers,

  • HT1386 I have a new computer and when I tried to sync my iPod Touch with the new iTunes, it has lost all of my music and videos from my iPod/old iTunes library: including all but 4 songs of my bought songs, videos and audeobooks!

    I have recently updated my computer since my old one broke and therefore had to download a new iTunes. When I came to add my iPod to this new iTunes, I was given no option to transfer the contents of my iPod library to this new iTunes and was forced to try 'sync'; when my old computer was repaired once we lost all of our data so I had to download a new iTunes then,all of my iPod downloads were transferred and I could easily reburn my CDs so I didn't think the wiping of my iPod would be a problem. When I clicked 'sync' it warned me that it would replace the contents of my iPod with the new iTunes library, as I said I didn't think this would be a problembut then it asked if it should transfer my recent iTunes downloads so I said 'yes'. The sync was completed but now I only have 4 downloaded songs and 5 albums which I burned to my new iTunes! I have lost all the music I bought, all the videos I bought and all the audiobooks I bought! (Luckily I still have my apps.) I tried to restore backup but realised that only covers calendars, contacts E.T.C and I checked my iTunes account and that shows all my downloads but I can't see a way to restore them or anything like that!
    Please help! I am in despair as you can imagine how much moneys worth I have lost and am losing faith in Apple

    Correct. When you update via iTunes all synced media that is not in your iTunes library will be lost.
    As IO said before:
    You can redownload most iTunes pruchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    I do not think it included audio books.
