How do I synchronise my games from my ipod touch to my macbook, so that I can update my ipod without losing the games I bought

I am trying to copy all my apps to my itunes on my macbook. When I make a copy or synchronise all my apps are copied but not the games I bought. I want to make an update to IOS5.1 But, I want to make sure I won't lose my games, this is why I am trying to copy them to Itunes on my macbook. Can someone help me out with this?

Game settings are part of the backup. Back up your device manually by right clicking on it in the device llst and choosing backup.

  • My computer crashed and lost all of my music and all my cd's were stolen how do I transfer the music on my IPod back to my computer so that I can update my IPod?

    My computer crashed with all my music on it. All of my cd's that I had uploaded onto my computer were stolen.  The only way that I have all my music is on my IPod.  However, I am afraid to update it because I don't want to loose all the music that I no longer have that is on it.  How can I transfer from my IPod my music library onto my new computer without losing any of my music?  I mean it has not been updated in over a year because I have some really good music that I don't want to loose.  Please help me.  I would like to add some really great music but can't for fear of crashing the music I have.  Thank you in advance.

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.  Have you failed to do this?
    If so, then you can buy programs that will retrieve the music from the ipod (not supported by Apple).

  • How do I stop new tabs from opening - all I want is one window that I can click back and forth on the page history

    I do not want multiple windows or multiple tabs. In older Firefox versions just one window could be set, using the page history to go backwards or forwards. How do you disable new tabs or new windows from automatically opening in firefox 7?

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • How can i transfer videos without losing the sound to my iPhone 3G?

    Hi
    I have bought my iPhone 3G yesterday. I have found out how to transfer music from iTunes however i can't transfer videos. I'm selecting the videos i want to transfer on the videos tab after i chose my iphone from the side menu and pressing apply. iTunes says that its syncing my iphone but it doesnt transfer the videos.
    Lately i have found out a function on the advanced menu for movies as "create iphone or ipod version". When i used that it transfered that video to my iPhone however the sound was completely lost besides that action takes too much time(around 10 mins for a 3 min video and i have a pretty strong computer).
    How can i transfer videos without losing the sound to my iPhone 3G?

    One thing I'd recommend is that you make sure the video/audio you're trying to transfer falls within the guidelines listed in the 'Video' section here:
    http://www.apple.com/iphone/specs.html
    What's most likely happening is that the file is not converted as such so when you try to transfer it, it's wanting to convert it but is unable to for any number of reasons.
    There's software out there that might make this easier for you but I can't recommend anything specifically.

  • My sons ipad uses my user name (i have an ipad and iphone).  I want to set his up with his own username and password.  How do i do that and can it be done without losing any of his apps, songs or video?

    my sons ipad uses my user name (i have an ipad and iphone). i want to set his ipad up with his own username and password.  How do i do that, and can it be done without losing any of his apps, music or video?

    Go to http://appleid.apple.com.
    To clarify, the mere act of changing the Apple ID on the device will not remove any content. But you cannot update the apps or re-sync them if they get deleted without the old Apple ID. It may be best to download them again with the new ID.

  • If your Iphone 2 is disabled, how can you restore it without losing the contents? We know the right passcode.

    We are trying to restore a disabled Iphone 3. It does not have active phone service, but is used for apps. We know the correct passcode but my son entered it wrong too many times and it disabled. The phone says to connect to ITunes but that is not working because of the passcode. Does anyone know how to restore the phone without losing the contents?

    You will have to restore, losing anything not saved to your computer.

  • How can I Scroll Down without losing the lightbox in the center of the screen?

    I already tried with different slideshow presets with no results.
    If I click in the first photo the slideshow screen remains on the top, It seems that it doesn't scroll down with me. I would like to slidedown and click into the last photo without losing the lightbox in the center.
    I already ask for help by chat, but you didn't answer how i expect.
    here the link of the example:
    FOR MUSE STAFF

    Hi
    This is not possible directly using the widgets, as you would need customize this where the page scrolls but lightbox should still be centered.
    Another way of doing would be aligning the images horizontally on page with smaller version and then use lightbox effect , where the clicked image will still be on page but user can click on other images.
    Thanks,

  • My iPod Touch screen is so sensative that when I have my finger right above the screen, not touching it, it will open the app or click on the letters on the keyboard that I have not touched.  How to stop this?

    All of a sudden my iPod Touch 4 Gen (got for Christmas in 2012) has started behaving strangely.  When I go to type on the virtual keyboard I don't even have to touch the screen and the iTouch starts acting as if it's possessed and will start typing those letters that I'm hovering my finger over ... and it's usually not the letter I want.  Has anyone ever had this happen?  It's very frustrating.

    First make sure your fingers and screen are clean. After that all yo can do is:
    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings      
    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. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • How can I set up an external harddrive with time machine that already has data on it without losing the data?

    I have an external hard drive that I use to hold photos and other files on that no longer fit on my macbook. I also use the external hard drive for back ups set up with time machine. I don't believe I ever did anything to partition it, I've just always had separate folders (Photos, Music, etc) with one being called "Back Ups" (or Backups.backupdb) that my time machine back ups would automatically go into. Recently, I made the switch from my HDD in my macbook to a new SSD of the same size. I used the back ups on the external hard drive to restore all my content, which all worked out fine. My problem now is in using my external hard drive. When I plug it in, it no longer seems to be working with time machine. Also, I was organizing some files within the external hard drive, and when I dragged one into a folder, it took a while to load. Before, it was instantaneous moving a file already on the external hard drive to another location within it. Can anyone help me in getting the external hard drive to work with my new SSD? I don't want to delete any of the folders or back ups that are already on it, since that's the only place I have some of those files. Please let me know if you need anymore details. Thanks! (sorry if this is posted in the wrong forum)

    First, she has to be logged in to the same iTunes account as she used on the old computer.
    Second, when she plugs the iPhone in to iTunes, right click on the phone name and select transfer purchases.
    Third, enter one contact and one calendar entry into the new computer's addressbook/calendar.
    After that, she should be fine.

  • How can I print emails without losing the right side of message Windows Vista 6.0 Photosmart C6830

    When I print email messages, right side of message lines do not print (run out of space) on a Photosmart C6830 using Windows Vista Home Version 6.0.  Have tried highlighting message to print & choosing (selection) in print window - does not solve problem.

    The print spooler is a windows service and is required to print. I would hazard a guess you can not print with any application.
    What I am saying is I think your windows instalation has a problem, not Thunderbird.

    If you plan on using Android phones in the future, I strongly suggest you upload your collection to Google Music for free. Now when I play music on my S4 Active that is stored on my SD card via the Google Music app I don't need to worry about artwork and the rest because it's already organized beforehand via Google Music. I spent 5 years using an iPhone and iTunes and I never plan on using iTunes ever again, even if I choose to go back to an iPhone one day.
