IPod Touch Backing Up Applications and Games
I would like to know how to move my games and applications from my old iPod touch 16gb to my new iPod 32gb. There is plenty information and software about how to move music so that is no problem - but how do I move the apps and games - or even back them up in case I loose my device.
I have NO account with the apple store and live in a cash only society - no credit cards or the like.
Surely there is a simple answer to this as I am sure many people get themselves into this situation. I use my iPod touch with iTunes and only choose to MANUALLY manage my iPod.
Before you reply telling me to sync my iPod - I never do the sync thing I ALWAYS MANAGE MY MUSIC MANUALLY

Your a Yorkshire lass _ I'm a Yorkshire Lad - okay I live in Vietnam and have been using a Mac since 1984 the first 512kb. I bought my iPod touch second hand and it was jailbroken and full of games. A good mate of mine also from England also has an iPod touch. So simply put I want to put some of his games and apps on my machine and visa versa. Should be dead easy. But it ain't. If I sync it makes both iPods identical - which is not the solution I am looking for. So lets forget syncing. Come on lass give us some proper Yorkshire wisdom on this one.

Yes. You need to update the software.
If it is a first gen ipod touch then you can buy 3.1 here:

If it is 2nd gen or later, then just update the software from itunes. -

there nothing about syncing music? show the memu bar. The menu bar includes Help.

Connect the iPod to the computer and restore via iTunes. If necessary, place the iPod in Recovery Mode to allow the restore.

i need to deauthorize all of my computers before adding my new one. will my library remain intact and will i need to simply plug my ipod touch back in to the pc? thx
1. The library will remain as is. Back it up anyway.
2. Authorize that computer individually before connecting the iPod touch to it.

Whenever I try to launch the Mail application on my iPod touch, the window opens and closes immediately. I just restarted the device, but there's an icon on the screen of a circle.
Try a hard reset and go from there.

Ok, so I want to buy the new iPod touch 5g this week and I have an iPhone 4. I want to transfer all the data from the iPhone to the iPod and have the files the exact same. I don't want to redo data, say erase game data (campaigns, achievements)... I have apps that have very important data on them and if I sync it to iTunes and then transfer all that data to the iPod Touch 5g, will that erase app data?

I have all my music on an external media drive that has crashed. How can I get the music of my ipod touch back onto the comupter without loosing the music when it syncs. in order to start rebuilding my music collection?
You should be able to recover the media with the tips in this post from forum regular Zevoneer but I'm not sure what the implications are for your application settings. You can probably transfer your purchases into a newly authorised library, backup the device, recover any other media using third party tools, then restore the device from the backup. That should switch the assocation of the device to the new library but it is not something I've personally tested.
When you get it all working, make a backup!

My husband has synced his new iphone to my itunes account and consequently I've lost all of my itunes music files. However I have them all on my ipod touch and would like to know how I can sync the music library from my ipod touch to my computer and thus back on my iphone.
iTunes purchases by:

For other music you need a third-party program like on of those discussed here:

I am trying to transfer songs from my iPod touch to my computer and can not figure out how to do it. I also want to transfer the songs I have back in to iTunes. My hard drive went out on my computer and I lost all of my songs, except for on my iPod. I have an iPhone as well and did an update and it wiped out all of my songs. Someone please help me.
The music sync is one way - computer to ipod. The only exception is itunes purchases. Without syncing: File>Transfer Purchases
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your comptuer for just such an occasion. use your backup copy to put everything back. -
so my ipod touch screen is broken, and whenver i try to unlock the ipod screen, all that i can see is the top right hand corner of my ipod, and the rest is all whited out. Also, the jack which support the headphones to stay in place, one of the balls in the jack is pushed in which causes the headphones and stereo jack to slip all the time. I also have a problem which is when i try to sync my ipod to itunes. Last time i did it(which was 4 years ago), i synced my ipod and i started out with 225 songs, after the syncing process was complete, i ended up with 119 songs. I'm afraid to resync my ipod or back up my ipod to a computer because i dont want to lose the wonderful collection of 589 songs i have now. I'd really appreciate it if i got some feedback. Thanks.
Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.
Apple - iPod Repair price
A third-party place like the following maybe less. Google for more.

Replace the screen and headphone jack yourself if you are up to it
