How can I backup my Ipod touch when it's locked?

Hello,
My IPod touchscreen won't work, but I'm getting a new one with warranty. I can turn the IPod on but I can't "Slide To Unlock" because it wont sense touch.
I want to backup all my data/files so I can put it back on the new one. I tried to sync it on ITunes but apparently you need to unlock the device. Any possible way I can backup my IPod without unlocking it? I use windows 7 to sync it.
Please answer ASAP.
Thank you.

No, not to iTunes. However, if you have iCloud backup turned on in Settings.iCloud>Storage and Backup it will automatically backup once be day when connected to a charging source if the iPod has an internet connection.
Then you can restore from that iCloud backup.

    My current hard drive is filled up and i'm going to buy a new, bigger hard drive. How can i change the save and backup destination for iTunes so i can backup and transfer my purchases(apps) onto the new hard drive? Without having to backup and save my apps onto the current hard drive because there's no space left on it. Thanks!

  • HT1689 how can i undisable my ipod touch when itunes does not want to connect?

    My brother's ipod touch 4th generation was cracked on the screen and was not able to see anything after a while. We finally fixed it and now it says "IPOD DISABLED CONNECT TO ITUNES". We tried connecting it and itunes does not want to connect because it says that the ipod has a passcode and until we unlock it, it will do it. So we our stuck and on top of that, the ipod's power button does not work, so we waited to uncharge the ipod so we can try to connect it again and it still won't do it. We do not know what to do, and we cannot afford to buy a new one. Is there a solutiong for this? Thank You.

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

  • How can i backup my ipod touch's data to another drive safely?

    Ok here is my current situation. I have on my C: drive about 20% of space remaining, it was almost 10% yesterday.. The biggest item I know of its the back-up data for my Ipod touch 32 gig 4th gen. Now i know there is a method of sort of linking so it sees another drive as C: but I have not tried that at all.
    I have a nice External HD as well as another internal drive i can copy the data to but that is where i need some more info.
    first of all is it possible to copy the data files from C: to another drive, then delete the data on C: till it is needed for itunes?
    Second, if so what files are the ones needed and what steps should i do?
    As an alternate question by the way, is it still not possible to choose where to save the backup data in itunes?

  • How can i find my ipod touch when it has been stolen

    Go to icloud to see if they rested your ipod and see if the internet it on and click play sound

    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
    - If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it.

  • How can I fix my iPod touch while it's plugged in I can go on the Internet but when I unplug it and try to go on the Internet the iPod will turn off

    How can I fix my iPod touch. It will allow me to go on the Internet while it's plugged in but when I take it off the charger and go on the Internet the iPod will shut off. I have tried to reboot the iPod but it still does it.

    Try:
    - A reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod
    If you still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    The other responder gave you a program that will transfer stuff from your iPod to your new computer.  You can transfer iTunes purchaces to your new computer by:

    After you move your stuff to your new computer you will have to let iTunes erase your iPod and then sync with the stuff that is now in your iTunes library.  You will loose app data though.
