iTunes makes it quite easier for you to sync media from your Mac computer to your Mac iPod, and the other way around. You can update song, videos, podcasts and other content on your iPod without much hassle. It is because of this unique feature that an iPod has soared the popularity charts.

In both the events, you would be required to restore your iPod, followed by quick recovery of lost data from an updated backup copy.
