For Christmas I got a new computer after my other computer broke so I am wondering is there a way to sync my iPod touch that I already had with my new computer without deleting all my app data because I have over 200 hundred dollors of games

I got a new computer for Christmas it is a gateway and I have downloaded iTunes on it I need to know if there is a way that I can sync my iPod touch with my new computer without deleting all of my app data I don't have my old computer It crashed so u can't even turn it on

You should be able to:
Use Edit > Preferences > Devices > Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically.
Connect the device to iTunes.
Backup the device to the new computer.
Transfer your iTunes purchases into a newly authorized library.
Recover any other media using third party tools as suggested in this post from forum regular Zevoneer.
Restore the device from the backup.
This process should switch the association of the device to the new library, preserving the data and settings in your apps. When you get it all fixed, make a backup!
May also be prudent to attempt a backup to iCloud directly from the device before you start... Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > iCloud Backup > On. It won't save any media but it would preserve the general account settings and documents in case anything goes wrong while you are trying to extract your other data.

Is there a way to sync my iPod Touch 4th Generation to a linux computer?

I just bought an iPod Touch 4th Generation, and the computer I use runs on linux Ubuntu. Is there any way to sync my iPod to my linux computer, whether it be legally jailbreaking the iPod, putting another operating system on my iPod, a program/plugin that my iPod can sync to, somehow running iTunes through Wine, etc.?

You can try Wine. You can also try running Windows in a virtual machine in Linux.

How do you restore your iPhone without deleting all your apps?

Ok so I'm trying to remove Cydia from my iPhone 4, and I wanted to make sure it's fully removed. I managed to delete the app straight from my iPhone by force deleting the Cydia Installer package, and the icon is totally gone my iPhone. I deleted it because the jailbreak is eating up my battery. However, I don't think the jailbreak is completely removed.
Question: How do you restore your iPhone from iTunes without deleting all your apps and everything from your iPhone? Like when I click restore it says it will delete it and you will have to repurchase your apps. I have tons of apps and I don't want to spend my money for the same thing twice! I want to know how (step-by-step) to back up and restore your iPhone without it messing with any of the photos, apps, etc.
Also, will updating your firmware to 4.1 wipe out the jailbreak?
Thanks a ton.

How do I know if it's on my computer?
If you bought the apps via iTunes, they will be on your computer. If you bought them with the iPhone, syncing would have transferred them. Look for them in:
~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music/Mobile Applications
Photos taken with the iPhone are transferred via iPhoto or Image Capture when the phone is connected to the computer. Other photos on the phone must have been synched from the computer, so should still be there.

Is there a way to see on my iPhone my entire library (more than 2.000 CDs) without having all the files stored? I've noticed that, for mistake, I had some songs of my library in grey (the mp3 was not working)

Periodically delete all apps from the recently-used bar (double clickHome button) and power off and then back on the iPod. With iOS 5, the iPod uses more memory (do not confuse with storage) and periodically you have to reclaim memory for use.

How can I connect my iPhone to my Mac without deleting all the apps on it?

Last night I bought a bunch of apps using iTunes on my Mac. Then I connected my iPhone and put the apps from the computer onto the iPhone. So far so good.
Today I opened up iTunes on another Mac and before connecting the phone first selected Store > Check for available downloads. A dialog came up saying "all purchases have been downloaded for this account."
Under preferences I checked "Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically.
I then connected my iPhone to this second Mac and did the update to iOS 4.1.
(By the way the reason I used the second Mac to do this update was that it failed repeatedly on the first Mac with an error saying something like can't create a session. I went through Apple's related troubleshooting document extremely carefully and methodically, but that didn't help. I then followed the recommendation in that document to try with a second Mac.)
Now all my new apps as well as several others are gone from the iPhone.
Also in iTunes itself on the second computer all my new apps are missing. I looked under the "Library" section in iTunes and a bunch of apps that I've been trying over and over for months to simply delete are present and none of the ones I bought last night are present.
Questions:
1. How can I get my apps back? It cost me a lot of time and money to discover those apps and get them onto the phone. Are they just gone now?
2. How can I connect my phone to my computer without completely ******* up my phone? Does Apple provide a way to do that?
3. Is there ANY way that I can effectively control what is and is not on my phone (apps, videos, etc.) or is that just supposed to be sort of random?
By the way it appears that Apple doesn't allow "potty words" on its forum because we all are, after all, six year olds. So just to be clear, what I MEANT and what I WROTE was "eff u cee kay i en gee up my phone."

Now all my new apps as well as several others are gone from the iPhone.
Look on other screens. The 4.1 update ands Game Center to the home screen. If that screen was full it create a blank screen and moves one app from the home screen to the new screen to make room for Game Center. All the other screens are pushed back one place.

If they are really gone, you can download them again. You will not be charged again if you use the same iTunes account.

If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPod to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPod under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
You posted in the iPad forum instead of the iPod forum. To get answers to your question, next time post in the proper forum. See https://discussions.apple.com/index.jspa I'll request that Apple relocate your post.

How to stop iTunes 9 from deleting all my app data ?!

I used to sync my phone to two computers:
- Media and apps on my iMac
- "Info" (Calendars, Contacts) and Photos on my MacBook Air.
I simply had different items checkmarked for synching on the two machines.
This worked perfectly until iTunes 9. With 9, when I plugged into my Air to synch my calendar, it started copying all my apps to the laptop! I simply canceled that.
NOW, when I connect back to my iMac, the phone instantly and automatically starts deleting all my apps and replacing them with fresh copies! I am losing ALL my vital app data! (Plus it started installing tons of unwanted apps that I had unchecked--which will fill up the phone at some point.)
How can I stop this automatic deletion? I've now downloaded the 9.0.1 patch but I'm afraid to even plug in my phone again!
Before canceling the synch, I've already lost everything through the "A's" including some vital work stuff and hours of hard-earned game progress. Some could be recovered via TIme Machine and restoring an older backup... but I have some really important stuff on my phone since that last backup, and I don't want to wipe it.
Thanks for any advice.

Wiping my phone, restoring from backup, AND wiping all iTunes related files (from a search in Library and in Music) seems to have stopped this behavior.
(I couldn't wipe the iTunes files on the machine with my media and apps, but I did so on the other machine--where I only sync contacts, calendars and bookmarks. My iTunes library is empty there anyway.)
I don't know if this relates to an "app synching" issue that iTunes 9.0.1 fixed. Could be.

If you previous synced to the computer then you may be able to recovery use of the iPod without erasing the iPod by following the instructions here:
Disabled Recovery-must use syncing computer.
Otherwise y have to erase the iPod
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

Is there a way to sync to an ipad or iphone selected files from a secondary itunes without erasing everything on the mobile device.

Is there a way to sync jujst selected files to an ipad or iphone from an itunes program that is not the one that is primarily used for that specific remote device?
I sync my ipad to my desk top but also have a laptop that has some files that I want on my ipad but don't want to erase everything to get them on.

Not really. iOS devices were designed to sync to one iTunes account, not multiple accounts. Simply email what you want to your Desk Top and transfre them to your iTunes library on that computer. Or get a Dropbox account. You can download Dropbox on your iPad and have dropbox on your Desk Top and Laptop. You could access files, music, pictures, etc., you put in your Dropbox account from any device. You get 2GB free storage, but you can purchase additional storage if you need it.
