Q. I just bought the new ipod touch/iphone 2.1 update. I heard that after downloading it, it doesn't require you to restore your ipod. Well, i downloaded it and now its telling me that my ipod is in recovery mode and in order to use it again i have to restore it. I've had this ipod for a year now, my heart is beating soo fast i CANNOT erase everything. this souns really stupid, but i will be HEARTBROKEN. i have over 2,000 photos and songs..i cannot afford to have all of this erased.
is there anyway i can get my ipod working again without restoring it?
do you think if i took it to an apple store they can help me?
do you think they can remove this update from my ipod if that's what it takes to get my data back!?
HELP! ALL I WANT IT MY MUSIC BACK!
Most of my songs I got through friends emailing them to me because i cannot afford to buy itunes music. I do not have any music in my library except for may 10 songs that i did buy from the store.

A. It is important to understand the difference between "update" and "restore". Update simply installs the software that controls iPod and does not affect the songs and files stored on iPod's disk. Restore erases the iPod's disk and restores iPod to its original factory condition.
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.
So save all the documents to a folder. Next.
Ensure that you have an active Internet connection as new versions of iTunes and iPod Software may need to be downloaded to your computer.
Download and install the latest version of iTunes if you do not already have it installed.
Open iTunes, and then connect your iPod to your computer using the USB or FireWire cable that came with your iPod.
After a few moments, your iPod will appear in the Source panel in iTunes.
Select your iPod in the Source panel and you will see information about your iPod appear in the Summary 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 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 available.
Restore Option 4: Restore and Update - Restores with the latest iPod Software available.
If you are using a Mac, a message will appear prompting you to enter an administratorâs name and password.
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 present one of two messages on screen with instructions specific to the iPod model you are restoring.
Restore Instruction 1: Disconnect iPod and connect it to iPod Power Adapter (typically applies to older iPod models).
Restore Instruction 2: Leave iPod connected to computer to complete restore (typically applies newer iPod models).
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.
Now you re-add the songs, and your set.

Please help I accidentally erased my iPod Touch?!?!?!?
Q. =[ I was literally crying this afternoon because I erased my computer last night and when i connected my ipod touch to the computer it didnt recognize it i thought that the music was going to be backed up again but i had forgotten that my computer was erased and all my information was completely deleted :(((( I had lots of personal information and important things that I never had the time to save into my computer or writ eon paper information I can't get back I wrote a lot of imprtant things in the ipod touch ''NOTES'' but it has been all deleted. My question is is there any way possible to revert everything back? is th ere a way I can get all that information again? this is really serious I need this information if there's a way I can do this please tell me even if I have to pay I'll pay a nythign to get it all back?
A. All is not lost. The most important thing is that you do not attempt to copy any files over to your ipod right now. There are many program that will recover data as long as the files aren't being overwritten. First thing you want to check though is if iTunes backed up your iPod before formating it. If it didn't then you will have to pay some money for one of these programs.
I don't have any personal experience with any of these programs but this looks like exactly what you need.

This accessory is not supported by this iPod?
Q. I have a first gen iPod touch and as they all do bcuz iPod are POSs, my headphone jack stopped working. So I bought an adapter that plugs into the charge port and makes a new headphone port online. The online store said it was for touches and all iPods but it's rly just made for nanos. So whenever I use the adapter, the sound works but every couple of minutes I get a message that says This accessory is not supported by this iPod and if I'm watchin a video on YouTube it exits out of the video every time b4 saying it. So I was wondering if anybody knows how to turn this super annoying notification off. Thx
Ok. I bought this adapter online. Right. Good. Now, I do not want to get another adapter becuz apple would charge me 50-100 dollars for another adapter where I can get the same thing( what I have) for 4 bucks. All I want to know is if there is a way to get the notification to stop I don't have bad software and I'm not payin the lousiest company ever another 100 bucks for something that's goin to break in a month anyway.

A. To fix this issue, you need to opt for a solution according to the reason of problem. There are two possible resolutions:
1.If the problem has occurred due to the incompatible hardware resources or accessories, you need to change them.
2.A situation where the problem is due to the corrupted system files, you have to format your iPod disk.
If you can solve the problem using first method, then itâs ok. But in case if you have to follow the second option, you should think about the result. Though it will resolve your current problem but the data stored on your iPod disk will be wiped out and you will face the disastrous state of data loss.
But there is no need to panic. The data removed is still available on your iPod disk and you can recover them very easily. The data recovery can be performed by using data recovery software known as iPod recovery software.
