How to safely upgrade 3.1.3 into 4.0 for iPod Touch 8 GB ?

Hi All,
I'd like to update my existing iPod Touch 8GB (don't know which generation) from my existing (OS 3.1.3 7E18, Model MB528ZP) into iOS 4
What should I do to make a complete full backup of my existing music and purchased application ?
I haven't apply the update yet and would like to know if anyone has successfully upgrade their iPod without dataloss/
Any help would be great.
Thanks.

I've also got a 2nd Generation one (it's that "B" in the model that gives it away, apparently)
I have to say, I just did it. I let iTunes update itself & then let it update the rest.
Took rather a while mind, I ended up going to bed & just leaving it; & it was all fine this morning. So far, the only quirk I've found is that it disabled the passcode I'd set up. It's even picked up the location data in my photos - not sure if it rechecked them from iPhoto, or it already knew it; but never told me!
Now that I've discovered how to create folders 9(drag one app over another & it creates a folder with the two of them in it - and predicts a name - not sure how to change the name - though you are limited to 12 things in the folder)
From what I can tell, we 2nd Gen owners can't multitask, but it seems to have most of the other things that I've tried to do!

    How do you get your tunes and voice recordings from your iPod Touch into iTunes on a new computer if you don't have Mobile Me?
    iTunes on tmy new computer shows none of my data and I fear if I sync my iPod with the computer all will be deleted on the iPod.
    I still have everything in iTunes on the old computer.

    Just move your iTunes library to you new computer.  You can transfer iTunes purchases to you new computer from your iPod by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848Make sure you also move the backup.  You an find where the the backup is located here:
    iPhone and iPod touch: About backups
    You can move other items by:
    Best iPod to PC
    After you move you stuff to the new computer, restore the iPod from backup.

  • How do I import Word:Mac docs into DW MX for Mac?

    Hi. How do I import Word:Mac docs into DW MX for Mac? Thanks!

    Have you tried direct import from the word document itself by going to:
    File >> Import >> Word Document
    This facility is available in CS 4 and after but I am not sure if it was
    there in MX versions.  Otherwise the only option left is to paste the
    text into a text file and then copy/paste it in your webpage in DW.
    Copy Special might work if you do it in Code View.

    Songs do not get authorized. You need to authorize the the computer via iTunes for the accounts that purchased the songs.
    Also the iPod has to be signed into that account.  To sign the iPod in go to Settings>Store and sign out/in to the necessary accounts.

    How do I copy FOLDERS to or from my iPad/iPhone/iPod touch using iTunes File Sharing?
    I know how to copy files to or from using iTunes file sharing but it doesnt seem to allow copying of folders

    From your PC or Mac, you can copy a folder (and it's contents) into the DropBox folder. It will then sync ans will be available in your DropBox app on the iPad.
    GoodReader includes built in connectivity to DropBox, will pick up the contents and then allow you to easily copy files to other folders within it, as well as open files in other apps on your iPad.

    how much does it costs to repair the screen to my ipod touch 4th generation

    By third party we mean a place that is not an Apple Authorized Service Provider (AASP) or Apple Authorized Distributor (AAD) - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1434
    I browsed the iFix web site.  Nowhere does it specifically state they are an AASP and usually places that are will make that immediately obvious.  Their FAQ mostly mentions how to set up a franchise and does not  state that repairs made by them will not void any Apple warranty.  Apple is very particular about anybody working on their devices and if they detect somebody else has worked on a device (even if they do a good job) they could refuse to even look at a device again (warranty or not) in their shop.  I'm not passing judgement on other companies, I'm just observing this so the OP knows in advance.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/index?page=servicefaq&geo=United_States&product=ipho ne
    "An iPhone that is ineligible for warranty service may be eligible for Out-of-Warranty (OOW) Service. For example, an iPhone that has failed due to damage or liquid damage is ineligible for warranty service but eligible for OOW service. However, certain damage is ineligible for OOW service, including catastrophic damage, such as the device separating into multiple pieces, and inoperability caused by unauthorized modifications."
    The underlined clause could be interpreted by Apple to be any sign of anybody else having worked on a device.  This isn't just Apple.  If somebody is going to warranty a service then they want to make sure they are not also covering anything that might have been caused by somebody else working on the device previously.
