Can I put my old iPod info/apps onto a new iPod?

Hi.
I'm planning to return my IPod Touch and get a new one because of some charging problems in the existing one. I don't want to lose any apps that I downloaded from the App Store. My question: when I connect the new iPod to my computer, will it sync all my data (including purchased and free apps) onto my new iPod?
Also, before I return the "old" iPod, I want to eliminate all my personal data from it. Do I do this by using iTunes to "Restore" the settings?
Thanks.

Hi,
You can create a backup of your iPod touch in iTunes, just right click the iPod and choose backup. More detailed information about backups here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
You can download apps again with no additional charge.
You can completely wipe all data from the iPod by going to Settings> General> Reset> Erase all Content and Settings> Erase iPod.

    Either sync it from your iTunes library or redownload it directly to the iPod by:

    To restore app data, the apps have to be in the iTunes library of the computer on which you do the restore. The iPod ackup that iTunes makes does not included synced media like apps and music.

  • How can I sync my old ipod touch apps to my new ipod touch

    I have an ipod touch 3G and just got an ipod touch 4g, I want to get the apps with their history (such as my calendar and golf scores) on to my new one.
    But apparently I made a mistake when I registered my new touch.  Is there any way I can sync my old apps on to my new ipod touch? 

    Set the new one to be the same name as the old one and it should restore everything on to your knew one.

  • HT1848 How do I get my iPod touch apps onto my new iPad. Can I do it cloud/wirelessly?

    I have an iPod with some apps that I want to put the apps onto the iPad I just purchased, what is the easiest way?

    You can do it wirelessly by downloading the apps again onto the iPad. You cant transfer them directly from the iPod to the iPad. As long as you use the same Apple ID that you bought the apps with, the downloads are free.
    If you want to include all of the app data that you have built up in those apps, you will have to restore from a backup of the iPod as vazandrew has explained.
    If you want to download all apps to not devices in the future - do as Mr. Saphique has explained.
    If you just want to download the apps to the iPad again, go to the App Store on the iPad, and tap on the Purchased Tab. There you will see all of your purchased apps. Just tap on the cloud icon next to the app icon in order to download it to the iPad.

  • How do I get an old iPod touch backup onto a new iPod touch?

    My daughter dropped her iPod touch 32GB and shattered the screen. We replaced it today, and I am trying to restore the last iPod touch backup from my iTunes account. It is about one week old. When I first connected the NEW iPod touch it gave me an option to restore, but then prompted me that the IOS was out of date and I had to first update the IOS then restore.  Exact message:
    The backup of "NAME iPod" is cannot be restored to this iPod because the software on the iPod is too old.  To restore this iPod from the backup, you must first set up the iPod as new and restore the software to its latest version.
    So I chose NEW, and then it seemed to configure it.  It is IOS 5.1.1.  But all to the "base" system. How now do I restore the apps, music, etc from the last backup
    I named this new iPod the exact same.

    To restore from backup see:
    iTunes: Backing up, updating, and restoring iOS software
    The backup does not included synced media like apps and music. you can redownload iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    The apps have to be in the iTunes library before you restore from backup otherwise there is no place for the app date to be restored to.

  • HT1459 How can I download songs that I have purchased onto a new ipod?

    I have lost the ipod that I have loaded songs on, I have a new ipod and was wanting yo know how to download the songs that I have already purchased onto it.

    Go to the iTunes Store, log into your account, and click the Purchases link under the Quick Links. From there you should be able to re-download some or all of your purchased content. Note that not all content has been licensed for re-downloading in all countries at this time. You can see what content you can download here:

    Then you can sync the tracks to your new iPod. For more information on re-downloading, see:

  • Can I put the old trackpad/bl-keyboard in my new Air?

    The subject says it all... I have been very dissatisfied with my latest 13" Macbook Air (I've owned one of each of the three models) for two reasons:
    1. the buttonless trackpad kills me in Windows (I have Powerplan 7 in now but it's not as smooth IMHO)
    2. Power button on the keyboard (who thought that would be a good idea, next to Delete??)
    As I switched to Windows 7 64-bit on this machine after using OSX on the previous ones, I wrongly assumed that the lack of keyboard backlighting was another example of Apple's crappy support for Microsoft's OS.
    Only today, when I installed PP7 to fix my trackpad nightmares and add the backlit keyboard, did I discover that I don't have a backlit keyboard anymore!!!
    Thanks, Apple, for sucking so hard. The Air is the flagship, and you've hobbled the two primary user input components.
    So, the question.. as a technie who is completely comfortable with ripping my computers apart...
    Can I replace the trackpad and keyboard with ones from the previous generation Air, to regain this lost functionality?
    REAL answers only, please. It's hard enough to find any useful information online anymore with all opinions one must surf through to find facts.
    Thanks!

    So you bought the MacBook Air before reading the technical specifications of the machine and then blame Apple but proceed to call yourself a techie in the next sentence? Now this is screen shot material!
    However to answer your question, there's no connection point for the backlit keyboard on the logic board. So that wouldn't work. I'm not 100% sure on the trackpad relocation, however. With the way it's machine pressed into the bottom case I don't see how you could safely remove it and reinstall it with just "hand force."

  • Is there any way to get "voice memo" (the iPhone/ipod touch app) onto our new iPad 3?

    I know there are apps in the app store that will have similar functionality, but I want Apple's original "Voice Memo" app for it's reliability, automatic syncing with iTunes on our other devices, ability to trim easily, and the overall interface.  I'd be willing to pay a purchase price, but I don't see any way of obtaining it... I'm a bit irritated as I thought this would have come standard as it did on my old iPod Touch. (I see it's still standard on iPhone and iPod Touch, too!)

    No Voice Memos app by Apple on the iPad. I downloaded one from the App Store from another developer that is nearly identical.

    How do I get playlists from the old computer and ipod to go onto the new ipod.  I would rather use the old ipod to transfer since the computer is really old and ready to crash and slow.  Can I transfer or somehow copy playlists from one ipod to the other.  All the songs are already loaded onto the new ipod classic
