    There is no other legit way to sync your iPod than using iTunes. There is 3rd party software to transfer content from the iPod to your computer, but not from the computer to your iPod.

  • When you connect your itouch to itunes does it save your photos/notes from your ipod?

    My itouch recently froze, i was told the only way of saving it is to reset it to it's original settings. I have important photos & notes on there that I can't lose. When you connect your ipod to itunes does it save that information?
    Please answer this if you know the answer. I need to get this figured out.

    Unless you can connect the iPod normally to your computer and get the photo and notes to the iPod without restoring the iPod.  It sound like that can't be done.
    Just what have yout ried?
    - Resetting will not delete anything and may all connecing the iPod to your computer and geting your stuff.
    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.

    You can sync with one and only one computer at a time.  Sycning to another will indeed erase the content from the ipod and replace with content from the new computer.
    You should copy everything from the old computer to the new one.
