Restoring from a Backup
You can restore the settings, downloaded applications, and other information from a
backup, or use this feature to transfer these items to another iPod touch.
Restore iPod touch from a backup:
1
Connect iPod touch to the computer you normally sync with.
2
In iTunes, select iPod touch in the sidebar and click the Summary tab.
3
Click Restore to reinstall the iPod touch software, restore its default settings, and delete
data stored on iPod touch. In iTunes, you can also restore from a backup without
deleting data stored on iPod touch.
Deleted data is no longer accessible via the iPod touch user interface, but is not
permanently erased from your iPod touch until it is overwritten by new data. For
information about permanently erasing all content and settings, see “Resetting
iPod touch” on page 97.
When prompted, select the option to restore your settings, downloaded applications,
and other information from a backup and select the backup you want to use. Multiple
backups are listed by device in chronological order with the most recent backup for a
device listed first.
