Can I restore my library from the iPod Touch?

Hi all,
I was forced to restore my laptop recently and like a lot of users I am trying to restore my library.  I backed it up to an external hard drive regularly but for some reason I am only able to locate older versions of the library.  When I restored one of them I noticed that all of the music appeard but none of the apps did.  I am not really concerned about the music but the apps are of importance to me.  Can someone tell me if I did something wrong when I restored the old library?  Also, is it possible to restore the library from the iPod Touch rather than the external hard drive?
Thanks,
Sweets

Alright this is a simple solution which I do all the time. Presuming you have legitimately bought all your apps you should just be able to download them again.
You can also try to right click your iPod in the devices lists and then selecting "Transfer purchases from iPod" and it will transfer over your apps which is what I use whenever I get a new laptop or lose information.

    We are evaluating the use of iPod touch devices to record best practice videos on our manufacturing floor and to post to an internal Moodle web site. How can you upload a video from the iPod touch to a site other than YouTube? The Moodle upload interface is expecting a file selection dialog box like windows or OSX. I do not want to have to go through an intermediary step of messing with a pc.
    Thanks!

    It should be around 7 and a half gigs. In iTunes, across the bottom there should be a bar that show how much storage is being used and by what. (music, movies, apps, etc.) To make music take up less room, you can check the box to make it convert the music to 128kbps AAC. This lowers the quality, but with most earbuds and speakers, you can't even tell the difference.
    The iPod touch has parental controls built in. You'll find them in Settings. I think they only work for enabling/disabling Safari, Mail, YouTube, and App Store. Here's an app that does more: http://www.mobicip.com/online_safety/ipod_touch

  • Can I restore Itunes library from my IPOD?

    I had to reload Windows and did not have my ITunes library compleatly backed up.
    If I reinstall ITunes and connect my IPOD, will I be able to keep all the songs on the IPOD or will they be deleted with a sync action?

    Try a forum search ( right side of this page).
    This is asked and answered many times each day.
    Zevoneer has a great explanation of the options.

  • How to restore Itunes library from stolen Ipod Touch to a new Ipod touch?

    My Ipod Touch 3th gen was stolen. I bought a new Ipod Touch 4th gen. How do I restore everything that is in Itunes library to it?
    Should I just give the new device the same name of the other one and sync?
    Will that transfer the apps I bought on the old one too?
    I also have mobile me account and it was updated 1 day before the robbery. Do I need to do anything about mobile Me?
    Thanks!

    You can restore from the backup of the old one.
    OR just sync whatever you like to the new one.
    You can sync as many ipods as you like to the same computer.

  • Can I restore MY RATINGS from the library.xml file alone?

    That's the question - Can I restore MY RATINGS from the library.xml file alone?
    Some facts to consider before replying:
    1. I do not have the ITL file, so that solution is out.
    2. My ipod was restored so NO ratings there either.
    3. So far I have only seen programs to use BEFORE losing your itunes library. IF YOU KNOW a third party's program can help me AFTER THE FACT then tell me about it.
    4. I HAVE searched these forums for previous threads. (a) searching engine needs big help and (b) among the 2 dozen finds, no solution for "only XML" found. If you got THAT threads url, post it!
    So, using an old library.xml file, is there a way to get this info into itunes.
    thanks

    there is mention of a hta
    script, SaveRatings.hta , that saves and restores
    the xml data.
    The save button worked just fine. ..........
    Turns out the restore button works just fine too when I dont toss in my homemade ratings.xml before clicking restore;-)

    anyway Otto's saveratings is a excellent tool to have on your drive. Unless you like re-rating 1400 or 1500 rated songs...........

  • HT201272 Having a bad day my iTunes library got corrupted and my back up disk has failed how can I restore my purchases from the iTunes store

    Having a bad day my iTunes library got corrupted and my back up disk has failed how can I restore my purchases from the iTunes store? When I try it tells me the pruchases have already been downloaded to this computer.

    Does your purchased rmusic appears under the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) ? If they do and you don't have the cloud symbol against them so as to re-download them, then do you still have the entries for them in your library i.e. where you would normally click on them to play them ? If you do then try deleting them from there (iTunes will be seeing them and assuming that you still have them somewhere) and they should then get the cloud symbol for re-downloading in the Purchased link.
    If you aren't in a country where music can be re-downloaded then you could try contacting iTunes support and see if they will grant you a re-download : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page,

  • Can I get the library from my Ipod touch next generation back to my PC?

    Can I get the library from my Ipod touch next generation back to my PC?
    My PC got a virus and I had to reinstall windows from scratch so I lost most of my music. I had a backup program that died in the middle of it so only half came back. the only place that I have all the songs is on the ipod. if I let it sinc it will loose the half that I do not have.
    Any ideas on which direction I should go?

    If your iPod is set to update automatically you need to take care connecting to an empty iTunes. You can use a keyboard command to prevent your iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on Windows with iTunes installed hold down the Shift + Ctrl keys together. This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 20 to 30 seconds depending on your computer: iTunes - Keyboard Shortcuts for Windows
    If at any point you get a message that your iPod is linked to another library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod.
    If you only want to copy your purchases to the computer that can be done using iTunes, you'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
    For everything else (including purchases) there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod Touch or iPhone. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer data (such as playcounts and ratings), movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well.

  • HT1454 Can not get video out from my ipod touch 3rd gen. Any ideas? It should nt be diffiicult to do this on the 21 st century, or not?

    Backing up an iOS device will copy some data to a backup file within iTunes, but this excludes all media.  You can also transfer iTunes Store purchases from the iDevice to iTunes but, without using a third-party tool, nothing else.  As long as you do not sync the iPod with your new library, the media that's on it will remain ... for as long as it keeps functioning, is not lost, stolen, eaten by the dog, ...
    You may also have an option to recover your previous library from your old laptop; as long as its hard drive isn't fried, a computer repair store or technician may be able to extract the drive, mount it in an external enclosure, and copy your data to another PC.  Whatever you choose, there is no real alternative to having all your media on your computer, managed by iTunes, and regularly backed up to another device/location.

    Be sure to first sync and backup your iPod Touch with iTunes. Then just sync your iPad with iTunes to transfer everything to the iPad. Be sure you are using the same Apple ID. You will now have two devices synced with iTunes on your computer.
