How can I retrieve my iPod Touch information after I restore it?

     A couple of months ago my computer crashed and on that computer was my itunes (which contained everything that I have on my iPod Touch, over 150 purchased songs, a couple of purchased apps aswell as purchased movies, tv shows and music videos). I immediately thought that this wouldn't be a problem, because I could purchase more stuff via the itunes and app store on my iPod. However, a couple of days ago my Safari kept crashing after about 5 minutes of use and subsequently the rest of my apps started doing the same. I then decicded to check if any other iPod Touch users were experiencing the same problems (which they did) and read that the only solution would be for me to restore my iPod. Now I am worried that if I restore my iPod, which seems to be the only option, I will lose all of my data.
     If anyone knows any possible way that I could either transfer my information onto my new computer and then restore it or any other solution to my problem. Any and every advice that is posted is greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot!
*Also, if this helps, I haven't updated my iPod touch yet in the same fear of losing my data.

- Transfer iTunes purchases to the new computer by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
- For noniTunes purchased music you need a third-party program like one of those discussed there:
Copy music from Ipod to new computer...: Apple Support Communities
- Make a backup by connecting the iPod to the computer and right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and selecting Back Up.
- Restore the iPod from that backup.  This will also update the iOS.
If in the USA (and other countries with iCloud) you can also redownload iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • How can you stop your ipod touch data from being restored on the computer with a program that lets you see your deleated safari history

    heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllppppppp pppppppppppppp

    Delete the backup from iTunes. Go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and highlight the backup and click on delete. You have to do that after every sync. Also, make sure that you empty the recycle bin (PC) or trash (Mac) to really delete the backup.
    Also, in the future you can turn on Private browsings in Settings>Safari or go there and Clear History right before you sync.

  • 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:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848
    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.

  • How can I sync the ipod touch with windows 7 64 bit

    How can I sync the ipod touch with Outlook on windows 7 64 bit?

    I'm having the same problem with Windows 7, iTunes has been spotty about recognizing my iPod Touch. Now that I've updates Windows 7 with Service Pack 1 (June 2011), It won't complete a sync or a restore at all on either of my Windows 7 computers.
    I have gone through every troubleshooter action recommended by Apple Support, and have not been able to improve the situation at all.
    I took my Touch to the Genius Bar at my local Apple Store after trying and failing to complete a restore while troubleshooting, and it restored just fine from a Mac.  Unfortunately, it now gives me an error meesage (Incompatible device) half way through an attempted sync, or iTunes simply freezes.
    I even tried removing the Windows SP1, but that was a mess, as my display went all whacky and iTunes crashed immediately upon startup.
    The Windows 7 OS ***** in general, particularly with compatibility issues, and not just for Apple products.
    Does anyone know how to remedy this situation?
    I'm so frustrated and have wasted so much time on this issue that I'm going to throw it all out the window!

    For how to restore:                                                             
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes       
    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        
    If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.
