ipod touch experts--HELP
hi to all the bright ones!! i have some query about ipod touch. i connect it to my laptop but since my laptop was formatted because of some virus so i lost the downloaded itunes. and if my memory serves me right i had the 1.1.2 version. now my problem is where can i get this version since that was what i used, ive researched but was unsuccessful and if i download the latest version will it reset the settings in my ipod and lost all the things ive downloaded? Help and thanks!!!
You won't lose your songs even if u update the version.
hai guys,
To clear out ur confusion, Since u have reformatted your computer, it becomes a bit complicated. Its nothing to deal with your iTunes version ! The best possible way to prevent erasing all ur music is - Tick the " Manually Sync " option
If you do so, it wont sync ur music by itself. So its always safe so that if suppose you delete some music albums in your computer( to free up space may be), it wont be deleted in your ipod.
PS>NOTE : in my point of view, its always safe to sync the musics Manually. Its not a big deal to do it rite ??LOL
And coming to ur point, u can try out a software called - " Xilisoft iPod rip" ( http://www.xilisoft.com/ipod-rip.html)
It will rip all your musics to your destined folder and u can avoid the chance of being automatically synced(LOOSING ALL YOUR IPOD MUSCIC). But note that, u must run this program before you would run your iTunes, cause doing so, might delete all yours before you save all your ipod music to the computer !!!
Hope you music in your ipod remain INTACT ! LOL !
Further any clarification, PM me.... Neways best wishes !
One more thing: In step 3 your Ipod's music will be wiped clean and replaced with the new songs, which are your old ones.
Hope that helps.
It's completely safe. Do the following:
1-Download the songs off of the Ipod to somewhere safe.
2-Install the latest Itunes (7.7.1)
3-add the music to Itunes and sync the Ipod.
And you'll be rocking in no time.
BTW It's always a good idea to backup your music, you can use cds, flash drives or maybe an external HDD(my favorite, I have 2)
thanks for the reply meevo! one more thing.. so it is safe to download the 7.7 version then i just transfer back again to my ipod all what i have downloaded which was saved using the sharepod? it will not freak out my ipod? just afraid this would happen.what would you advice? i have the 16 GB and the memory has not even full yet, i want to used it up. give some advice please... thanks!!
It doesn't matter which version you choose old or new, either way your music will get wiped out.
There is a chance though so don't fret.

Try this handy little program. It'll get your music out of the Ipod for you. You can use it anywhere even from the ipod it self.
