With all you media (apps, music) in the iTunes library connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup. Do that by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up. Then restore the iPod from that backup.
Note the the iPod backup that iTunes makes does not included synced media like apps and music.

Transferring iTunes/iPod Touch Data from One PC to Another

I have my iPod Touch synced to my Windows laptop. As I have a newer Windows PC, is it possible to transfer the entire iTunes library along with all the iPod Touch data onto my new PC without causing any problems when it comes to syncing my iPod Touch with the new PC?
Currently, if I plug my iPod into my new PC, it warms me that if I want to continue, my iPod will be wiped clean.

You can move your iTunes library from one PC to another from an external back up hard drive.
I don't know if there is a way to synch to your new computer without losing music and video off the Touch, I lost all that when I moved mine on to this new computer. I had all my library backed up to a hard drive anyway so was obviously able to put all of my library on to the new PC before synching the Touch.
I recall that before I synched I did transfer purchases from the touch to the PC as connecting did offer me the option to do that.
If you've not got a back up hard drive, I can't stress enough the importance of having one.

How to create backup file on itunes for ipod touch 4g game apps data? Is there a way to do it? I want to try an app on my friend's computer, but you can't add apps on another computer without having your own ipod's data being deleted. Thx for any help!

I want to know how to create a backup file (because I'm pretty new with itunes, and it's hard to use it for me still), how to store my app data/media/videos, etc. And how I can retrieve them back when I'm done with the app I tried on my friend's computer.
If anyone can help, it'd be great! Thank you so much!

Sure-glad to help you. You will not lose any data by changing synching to MacBook Pro from imac. You have set up Time Machine, right? that's how you'd do your backup, so I was told, and how I do my backup on my mac. You should be able to set a password for it. Save it. Your stuff should be saved there. So if you want to make your MacBook Pro your primary computer, I suppose, back up your stuff with Time machine, turn off Time machine on the iMac, turn it on on the new MacBook Pro, select the hard drive in your Time Capsule, enter your password, and do a backup from there. It might work, and it might take a while, but it should go. As for clogging the hard drive, I can't say. Depends how much stuff you have, and the hard drive's capacity. As for moving syncing from your iMac to your macbook pro, should be the same. Your phone uses iTunes to sync and so that data should be in the cloud. You can move your iTunes Library to your new Macbook pro
you should be able to sync your phone on your new MacBook Pro. Don't know if you can move the older backups yet-maybe try someone else, anyways,
This handy article from Apple explains how
How to move your iTunes library to a new computer - Apple Support''
don't forget to de-authorize your iMac if you don't want to play purchased stuff there
and re-authorize your new macBook Pro
time machine is an application, and should be found in the Applications folder. it is built in to OS X, so there is nothing else to buy. double click on it, get it going, choose the Hard drive in your Time capsule/Airport as your backup Time Machine and go for it. You should see a circle with an arrow on the top right hand of your screen (the Desktop), next to the bluetooth icon, and just after the wifi and eject key (looks sorta like a clock face). This will do automatic backups of your stuff.

Corrupted iPod Classic data recovery? In need of a guru.

So, I have an iPod classic, and it seems to work almost entirely fine - it occasionally doesn't respond, but it has 11,000+ songs on it, and is a couple years old.
My issue here is that there is plenty (read: more than $10,000 worth) of store-bought CD music on there (some of it awfully rare) and I am going to lose it all if I can't figure out how to rescue it.
iTunes calls the iPod corrupted, Disk Drill and Drive Genius (free versions of both) don't seem to be doing much good.
The only thing that MAY have been progress that I did was copying the drive to a dmg file, but the dmg won't mount ("no mountable file systems" error).
I feel so close to being able to fix this issue, and the music is there to listen to, so why is it so hard to get to it??!!
I have done the following things to try to fix the issue:
Charged iPod fully before connecting
Connected in Disk Mode
Ran Diagnostic Mode
(HDD Smart test returned the following:
Retracts: 55
Reallocs: 56
Pending Sectors: 744
PorweOn Hours: 93
Start/Stops: 29303
Teamp: Current 34C
Temp: Min 10c
Temp: Max 50c)
At this point, I don't know what to do to either the .dmg on the computer or the ipod itself so I can have my music again.
I wouldn't be freaking out, but again, 10 grand is on the line.
Please help!!!
-Sam

From your Smartdata report, it looks like your iPod hardisk is dead, it is hardware like dying drive, or weak power to the drive.
The 3rd party HD repair tools, wont help, as the HD cant get the right spin to write/read the boot cluster, see the high Start/Stop numbers counts, the high pending is also indicative of bad clusters, failing to write data to the HD.
There MIGHT be some vendors who can recover your data, but the hardisk is a write off., I google "ipod hardisk data recovery" and got this site, so perhaps you can find one in your country.
Have a nice day!

Does turning off iPod erase iPod diagnostic data

When ever safari crashes I understand that it keeps that data and next time you connect it appears as diagnostic data. I always turn off/on my iPod touch when that happens. My question is that turning off iPod erase iPod diagnostic data? Is it necessary to turn off the iPod to stop crashing?

I've not seen anything official but it is true in my limited experience that turning the iPod touch off does seem to clear that crash info. In my first two crashes I was offered to send info to Apple the iPod touch was connected to my iMac. In my latest two crahes I've turned the iPod off before connecting to iTunes and was not offered the chance to send info to Apple this time. Will continue to monitor.

My ipod's data has crashed how can i fix it?

My ipod's data has crashed, how can i fix it?

Try a hard reset first. To do this, toggle the hold switch on and off, then press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
This may or may not work the first time around, so be sure to try this more than once if necessary.

I accidentally backed up my ipod touch data onto my iphone.

i got a new iphone and wanted to sync it to my computer and accidentally backed up my ipod touch data onto my iphone and now i have all my ipod data and settings on my iphone. how do i undo this?

Restore the device from a previous backup. Or, if it's new, then Erase All Content & Settings and set up as new again.
Are you wanting to have two separate setups for the devices? I'd recommend using two separate Apple IDs then, but be advised, you can't transfer purchases between Apple IDs.

How can I restore my iPod touch data to a new hard drive when the old one crashed

My computer crashed and I want to put the contents of my iPod Touch back on the new hard drive. How do I do this without accidentally Syncing and copying over my data? The vast majorioty of the music on my iPod is my own from DCs I own.

You should probably disable the autosync functionality first by going to Edit -> Preferences, clicking the Devices tab, and enabilng the prevent iPods,iPhones, and iPads from automatically syncing option.
Next, authorize the new computer with your iTunes Account. In iTunes, choose Store -> Authorize This Computer and enter in the correct credentials.
If possible, either copy a backup file from your old computer to your new one or create a new backup of your iPod in iTunes before letting it sync. To do this, right->click on your iPod Touch from under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes and choose Backup. You might also want to take a look at this article to see what it all included in the backup.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
Now onto synced content such as music, videos, photos, etc. For iTunes purchases you can copy them back into iTunes by choosing File -> Transfer Purchases. For all other nonpurchased iTunes content, see this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering different software availbable to assist you with this task.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2452022?start=0&tstart=0
Once the backup has been made and all other synced content such as music, videos, and photos are back in your iTunes library, restore your iPod from that backup you made earlier. Here is more on backing up and restoring your iPod.

If I transfer my iTunes library to a new Mac, will my iPod's data be saved?

I'm purchasing a new Mac, but I use an iPod Touch with a different Mac. If I copy my current iTunes library to the new computer, what will happen when I plug my iPod in? I'm hoping that if I make a copy of the library, I won't have to completely rysnch my iPod. I know I'll at least have all the playlists/videos/apps/etc on the computer by making the copy, and so I can just readd them, but I'm mostly concerned with my contacts, notes, and the progress I've made in some of the game apps. I don't sync contacts or notes to my current computer, though I will if I have to so I can preserve them, but as far as I know there's no way for me to save all the data in my apps if I have to resync it. Will my data be safe if I simply copy the library? If not, is there anything I can do to avoid losing it without having to constantly sync my iPod with the old computer?

if you copy the iTunes folder from the old to the new Mac, your Touch will just continue to sync with iTunes as if nothing happened.
make sure you copy the entire iTunes folder (not just the iTunes music or media folder).

Using iPod for data transfer from windows to a Mac... is this possible?

ok here's the situation.
my room mate has a (video) iPod 30G colour screen and everything. she has downloaded a show (not from iTunes) on her laptop using windows. We want to use her iPod to transfer the data from that show onto my computer which is an iMac G5 Intel Core Duo.
We connected the iPod to my computer but it was not recognized. Is this because her iPod is formatted for Windows or is there possibly another reason?
if anyone could help that would be great.
thanks

From what I know, windows will not recognize the complicated data of a mac formatted device; hence not recognizing it. Macs can recognize a windows formated ipod though, so if you decide to reformat it on windows, then you can use it on both computers. If you dont though, looks like you are out of luck, sorry.
Hope I helped.

Can somebody tell me how to transfer iPhone/iPod backup data from my old computer to a new one?

Is it possible for me to transfer the backup data of my iPod touch and iPhone from my old computer to a new one? I don't own any Macs, only PCs. My backup data are saved on a PC (desktop) which has Windows XP SP2 as its OS and I am planning to transfer my iPod/iPhone backup data to a laptop with Windows 7 as its OS. Is it possible? If so, can someone tell me the step-by-step procedure on how to do this, including how to find the folder where my backup data is stored. I would be very much grateful. Thanks a lot for those who may be able to help me with this matter. ^_^
P.S. I am planning to use an external hard disk to transfer my backup data to the new computer.

Ah, I see. In that case your life will be much easier if you convert your library back into a portable format before you attempt to migrate it.
The normal location for the iTunes Library.itl file is the iTunes folder at <User's Music>\iTunes though it is possible that you have previously moved the library separately from moving the media folder, or you could have your media stored outside the designated iTunes Media folder.
Here are the typical layouts for the iTunes folders:
In the layout above, with the media folder (everything in the red box) inside the library folder, the library is considered to be portable. You can rearrange things to make a split library portable by taking a number of small steps which don't break the library.
Before you start any media files that are outside of the designated media folder will need to be consolidated. N.b. Your iTunes Media folder location should be on the target drive that you are going to build the portable library on. If you have the bulk of your library is stored in a folder on an external drive that is not currently designated as the iTunes Media folder then change this property (Edit > Preferences > Advanced) before consolidating.
If the library is in the old style layout then it should ideally be be upgraded to iTunes Media Organisation (Library > Organise Library > Rearrange files in the folder <Media Folder>) to ensure that iPod Games, Mobile Applications etc. are brought inside the media folder.
The basic non-fatal manipulations are:
You can connect to an alternate set of library files by holding down Shift (Win) or Option (Mac) when starting iTunes.
You can move the library files to a new location as long as the media stays put.
You can move the library files and the media together if the media folder is a direct subfolder of the library folder.
If you have already moved/copied the media content from a subfolder of the library folder to a different location then you only need to copy the library files for it to appear as if you have moved the entire library in the way allowed above. I.e. just copy the library files into the parent folder of the media folder.
You can rename the media folder to iTunes Media (if it isn't already) if the media folder is inside the library folder.
iTunes uses the name of the folder holding the library files as the window title. Having made a library "portable" you may need to take a final step of renaming the library folder to iTunes or, if the library files have ended up at the root of a drive, moving all of the library files and content folders into a new folder called iTunes.
After each change you need to open, test and close the relevant library before attempting another change. If a change broke the library, undo it or revert to using the previous set of library files.
In essence all you need to do to make your library portable is copy the library files into the parent folder of the media folder on the external/secondary drive and use the hold-down-shift/option-when-starting-iTunes method to connect to it. Other manipulations may be required to normalize the library so that the library and media folders have standard names.

IPod song data to iTunes? Please Help!

I've lost my iTunes library data files but still have all of my song files. I've added the songs back to my iTunes library... Is there a way I can retrieve all of the song data like, last played, play count and playlists if they are still on my iPod? Thanks.

Don't panic! I think there's hope. I'm at a disadvantage because right now I'm troubleshooting my Mac, so I can't connect my iPod and experiment, but I still have some suggestions for you.
First of all, you haven't updated or connected your iPod since you lost your library, have you? The ratings and album art and whatnot are still intact on the iPod?
Because I can't look on my own iPod right now, I can't guarantee anything, but I would assume there is a file on the iPod similar to (or identical to) the iTunes library file. Of course, these files are hidden by default. In order to see hidden files (not sure if there is a native method in Tiger) I would suggest downloading TinkerTool. It's a third-party application, but I've used it for a while now and found it to be completely safe and effective. It promises not to "change any component of the operating system" and doesn't run background processes. However you do it, once you can see hidden files, look around on the iPod for a library file. Before you connect your iPod, of course, make sure in your iTunes preferences you have turned off automatic syncing, otherwise all the information you're looking for will be erased! You MAY be able to copy this library file, along with all your songs, from your iPod to your computer, but I'm afraid this is as far as I know. It would be helpful just to know if you can find that library file on the iPod.

TS1373 Can a broken iPod's data be recovered?

My iPod has a sad iPod icon. The Genius bar told me that the iPod probably could not be fixed and that I should buy a new one. That is fine with me, but is there any way to get the music off of this broken iPod? Do iPods have removable hard drives like computers? My laptop with all of my music broke and the hard drive is too damaged to recover any of my data. The iPod was the only other place I had my music. Please tell me there is something I can do! Thanks.

I don't think the two are interchangeable like that. You're lucky to get a discount on the iPod. However, that's up to the store/Apple.
Get whatever fits your needs.

Will uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes lose alll my iPod Touch data

My iPod touch 5 stopped responding. I opened iTunes so I could restore it and got a message that said I needed a newer version of iTunes. I GOOFED and installed a new version instead of updating iTunes. Now I can't open iTunes. If I uninstall and reinstall iTunes will I lose all my data from my iPod? Is ther a way to revert back to the older version of iTunes so I can then update the iTunes software? I am using Windows XP on my computer.

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
