Hello, Welcome to Discussions.
The iPod Touch contains a non mountable disk drive. So no actual way for you to access it's content which is protected.
Do you have contacts on the Touch your trying to transfer off into the computer?

Where are iPod Touch backup files

Did the location of iPod Touch backup files change with iTunes 8? Previously, I found them somewhere like this: Libraray/Application Support/Mobile Applications/Backup and they had extension .mdbackup But I can't seem to locate them now (I had to replace a lost iTouch recently).
thanks!

Choose Go to Folder from the Finder's Go menu and provide ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/ as the path.

Using Apple IOS Numbers on my iPod Touch 4th gen, where would I find... ummm... let's say b200?

Using Apple IOS Numbers on my iPod Touch 4th gen,
where would I find... ummm... let's say b200??
I use the row numbers and column alphabet all the time, and yet they don't appear on the IOS5 version of Numbers.
This is kinda short-sighted, isn't it? On the desktop version they show up just by clicking on a cell.

Yeah, we in the real world call it stupid design.
I discovered a real stupid, stupid, stupid way of seeing the header columns and the row numbers. You need to select a cell, and double tap it and the keypad pops up, at the top of the keypad window is a black wide tool button-bar with "42", "a clock symbol ", a "T" and an "=" The "42" stands for numbers, stars dollar signs, ±, etc. The "Clock symbol" is to put in days, hours, minutes... that sort of thing. The "T" is for words. AND the "=" is for formulas and stuff. HOWever, when you selct the "=" the column header (ABC...etc) and the Row numerators appear! Done so you CAN select certain column and rows to include those certain cells for calculations.
What a crappy design, right? Must be an engineer without any human interface design skills whatsoever who designed THIS Numbers for ios GUI... you have to hunt through crap to find the simplest of spreadsheet information. A real human interface designer would have made it easy option (for aesthetic reasons or "save space" Hah. Save space on a spreadsheet... why do you think they call them SPREADsheets anyway?).
And while we are on the Stupid, Engineer-Minded GUI, whose idea was to make you shake your ios device to "UNDO"? There is plenty of space where the title "Spreedsheets" and 3 toolbar buttons are located at the top of the spreadsheet workspace for a simple ø <--(circle with a line symbol)
This Numbers for IOS needs a big retooling.

IPod Touch backup file

Question!
If I copy an iPod Touch backup file from my old computer over to a new computer, will the "restore from backup" option work on the new computer once the backup file is in place?
Thanks

It should. Make sure your new computer is authorized for the iTunes account.

Is the dock connector (where you plug in the 30-pin connector end of the cable) damaged? If so:

Where are iPod touch backup file?

I need to location for the backup files on a Windows XP Pro because my computer is dying and I need to transfer it to another computer

Apparently I have 623 backup files in that folder.
Are you sure of that? How many folders show up at the top level of the folder 'Backup'? These will be folders with unique IDs for names (i.e. long hexadecimal strings). Each folder is a backup. Inside each folder are many files (hundreds or thousands) that are all part of that backup.
iTunes only keeps one backup, unless you interrupt a backup (leaving a damaged one) or manually create one in iTunes (secondary-click device and select Backup). So, for example in my Backup folder there are three subfolders - one for each iPhone (two syncing to this computer) and one for an iPod Touch. This can be confirmed in iTunes > Preferences > Devices tab, which lists the three backups by device name and date (and the dates match the modified dates on the folders).
If you really have 623 backups (i.e. you have 623 folders in the Backup folder and 623 backups show up in iTunes Preferences), you have something very odd occurring.

New hard drive: iPod touch contacts to Outlook?

We use Windows Vista; my wife's iPod Touch was syncing just fine with Outlook (for Calendar and Contacts). Our hard drive died, so got a new one. I thought I had been regularly backing up the Outlook .pst files, but the ones that I found on my external backup drive were older than I thought they should have been.
Thus: is there a way to "transfer" the contacts (and calendar, if possible) entries from the iPod Touch to a newly installed Outlook (remember that our hard drive died)? I would think there would be, as when you enter Contacts directly into the iPod Touch and sync, I think those sync "back" to Outlook (i.e. it's a 2-way street for Calendar and Contacts).
Thanks (hope the ? makes sense)

you might find pointers in this post by Zevoneer.
good luck !

Backing up my ipod touch...where does it all go?

So, my iPod touch has a bunch of music on it, and I don't have it all on this laptop. It was on my laptop that my school gives me during the school year but takes it for the summer. I have a lot of music in my itunes on my home laptop, but not all of the stuff on my iPod. I manually went and right-clicked my iPod in itunes and clicked "back up", and it took some time and supposidly backed it all up. Where does itunes store it? I found one of the folders but my computer doesn't recognize any of the files. Is this like a special coding itunes puts on the files so that only it can decode them? Bottom line is, if I end up restoring my iPod from the backup I just manually made, will all my music on my iPod, from school and home laptops, be put back on my iPod? Thanks for any help!

The backup that itunes performs does NOT include music or apps or movies or videos.
All of your music should be on your computer. Sync it back to the ipod.

Unable to set up Groups in my iPod touch Contacts application.

Can't see how to organize my contacts into Groups. My iPod touch just shows "All contacts" and I don't see any way to create Groups in iTunes either. I checked the iPod touch online manual and it mentions the Groups but says nothing about setting them up. I have been using the palm system for years but I am switching out. I am willing to reenter a few 100 contacts myself, but I do need to organize them into Groups. Please help.

Restore it. Maybe that helps.

Can I overwrite contacts in Address book with my iPod Touch contacts?

I'm an idiot - I somehow managed to delete ALL of my contacts in Address book. I don't use Time Machine (not enough external HD space) so I can't restore that way.
I did happen to sync my iPod Touch shortly before I deleted everything so my contacts are fine there. Short of re-typing everything into Address Book, is there a way I can tell iTunes to overwrite my contacts with the ones from the iPod touch?
It's the only place I have my contacts - and because I enabled Google sync, it deleted all of my Google contacts too! HELP!!

If you sync, the contacts will be copied back into Address Book on your Mac. You should get an error message that pops from iSync (a warning about changing more than 5% of your data), which you should Allow.
In case you're worried, I have tested this (backed up my address book, then deleted the contents, then synced and my contacts were restored from my IPT).
Hope this helps...

Ipod touch bluetooth file transfer

I recently asked about file transfer from an ipod touch to my Mac Mini (Lion 10.7.3) and the answer was it could not be done. I am just an old retired mainframe systems programmer (well, Sun Solaris also) but I have dealt with a LOT of data transfer methods between computers with different architectures. So my next question is DUH! why can't you do file transfers between an ipod touch and a mac via Bluetooth ??!!

Because Apple has chosen not to make this a feature of the ipod/iphone/ipad.

Ipod touch contacts

I have a 8gb touch and have input my contacts manually but when I sync it I lose all my contacts. I don't have it set up with a email account or outlook. Does it have to be set up with one of those accounts in order to be saved on my touch? The only settings I see for contacts is the sort order. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Problem solved. Apple has a support article about syncing issues (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1672).
Steps 8 & 9 were the ones that solved my issue.
8. Turn your iPhone or iPod touch off and then back on (if you did not already try this above).
9. Turn syncing off for the affected data. From the home screen, tap Settings > Mail, Contacts, and Calendars, and then tap your MobileMe account. Move the slider for the data type that is causing you issues. Wait for confirmation that that data type has been disabled, then press Home. Confirm that the data has been deleted on your phone, and then turn syncing for that data type back on.

My ipod touch's speaker where you listen to with your earphones doesn't play the person who is sing

I have an ipod touch 2 i believe that is which generation. I have a problem where you put the headphones in..when i put them in they play the background music/ the durms.guitar.etc...but it doesn't play the person who is singing. but when you shove it it as hard as you can and hold it ther it will somewhat play the person singing. What do you think the problem is?

You probably have a build-up of lint in the earphone receptacle which is preventing the earphone jack from going in all the way. If you can carefully clean this out with, say, a paper clip this may cure your problem.
