can someone tell me what "erase and sync" means on itunes?
because i shop on itunes on my ipod touch and dont normally on the comupter.
but i want to start shopping on itunes so i went to plug in my ipod touch and it came up with "your ipod is synced with another computer would you like to "erase and sync" ? but i dont know what that means so i dont click it.
can someone tell me what erase and sync means please!!
iPod touch
It means it will erase all the data on your device and replace it with the data on your computer.
If you want you can press transfer purchases and it will transfer the purchases fom you device onto your computer therefore allowing you to sync without hassle
so sorry im a bit confused with the other reply so the next time i plug my ipod touch into itunes and it comes up with the same thing i click on "transfer purchases" NOTHING will happen? 🙂
i pluged it in! i think it worked! 🙂 im so happy! well in a way an advanced thank you i'd just like to say
THANKYOU FOR YOUR HELP!! 🙂
It will transfer your purchases to iTunes, do this before syncing. If you have content on the iPod that wasn't purchased you will need to find a 3rd party program to transfer those.
uh just a question i have done transfering i think and when i go to apps on my menu on itunes its faded so i click on a box thats next to it and it say 'are you sure you want to sync? all exsisting apps on ipod touch will be replaced with this library" does it mean it will get rid of all my apps on my ipod? then i decided to get backup for it just in case and i dont know where to look for it? can you help me?
From the message you received, it sounds like you are trying to sync to a different iTunes library. When you do that iTunes will erase your iPod and rplace its contents with what is in the new iTunes library. A backup does not contain the apps themselves or music. Yu can transfer iTunes purchases to the iTunes library by:
