Updating and Restoring iPod touch Software

You can use iTunes to update or restore iPod touch software.

ÂÂ If you update, the iPod touch software is updated. Your downloaded apps, settings, and data aren’t affected.

Note: In some cases, an update may also involve restoring iPod touch.

ÂÂ If you restore, the latest version of iPod touch software is reinstalled, settings are restored to their default, and all data stored on iPod touch is deleted, including downloaded apps, songs, videos, contacts, photos, calendar information, and any other data. If you’ve backed up iPod touch with iTunes on your computer, you can restore data from the backup at the end of the restore process.

Deleted data is no longer accessible via the iPod touch user interface, but it isn’t erased from iPod touch. For information about erasing all content and settings, see “Resetting iPod touch” on page 165.

If you use a Bluetooth headset with iPod touch and you restore settings, you must pair the Bluetooth device with iPod touch again to use it.

For more information about updating and restoring iPod touch software, go to support.apple.com/kb/HT1414.
