iPod touch Does 2.0 make you reformat your iPod?

Ok so my mom just brought her iPhone over for me to add music too. Good thing I updated to 2.0 before adding any music because it made me it reformat itself deleting all the pictures and music (which there was none).



So i was wondering if you buy the ipod touch 2.0 update do you have to also reformat like the iphone does?

I kind of hope not... That would suck because I have music from different computers... and I finally made playlists. 🙂

I'm sure that it will, seeing as it does on the iPhone.

made you reformat ?


oh god converting 2000 songs to AAC takes a long time

Just makes backup and restore it in like 15 sec, most of the time is firmware updating



edit : taking a while, thought it was done

What it did for me is back it up, restore, then sync from the backup.

Mine seemed to format...restoring my music right now.

 

[nba1341]

so it backed up all the songs that were on your ipod to some file temporarily then threw them back on there?

To the OP: Yes. Depending upon how much media you have stored on your Touch, the whole process of downloading, updating firmware, and restoring your media could conceivably take up to maybe even an hour, if you have a lot. It seems that the last part of the process takes the longest.
