Make an iPod touch work with new computer?

Today I formated my drive on my homebuilt Windows computer. I backed everything up to an external hard drive including all of the iTunes backup and library files. Now when I plug my iPod touch in it wants me to erase all the purchases and sync it with a "new computer". How do I get it to work right? I don't want to have to restore. I am in the middle of a lot of games and for the ones that don't have cloud sync I would have to restart at the beginning. By the way, does iCloud back up all those files? If I restore my iPod from a back up from iCloud will all my games be right where I left off?

Why does it take so long for people to reply now?! I used to get answers within about 15 minutes! With all my other questions! COME ON PEOPLE!

  • Ipod touch working with a computer using linux Ubuntu os

    I own an Ipod touch and I am thinking of buying a Dell laptop with a linux Ubuntu operating system. Does any know whether I can down load music off of a CD onto this type of computer and then load it onto my Ipod?

    You'll have to search the Linux forums.
    It may be possible - many things like this are done - but Apple does not support it.

  • Hard drive broke. ipod not working with new computer

    Hello,
    My computer hard drive recently died on me.
    I got a new hard drive installed and I downloaded a new version of itunes (I think the latest) but when I connect my ipod to my computer, although it turns on the ipod, my computer isn't reading the ipod. I tunes isn't being started up and when I start it up manually it doesn't read my ipod either.
    Someone at work here suggested it may be that the version of itunes I have installed is not compatible with the ipod I have. My ipod is a couple of years old at least. Can that be possible?
    Any help greatly appreciated.

    I have the exact same problem. Any help would be appreciated.

  • IPod touch texting with new iOS / iTunes account options

    My son has an iPod touch and now has texting ability with the new IOS.  His iPod is linked to my account, so my name comes up when he texts.  Can I create a "sub-account" under mine so his name is the sender, not mine?  Or, do I need to make an all new account.?
    Any other scenarios to work around without a brand new account?

  • How can I sync my current iPod touch to a new computer?

    I am in need of some assistance. I had my iPod Touch synced with my computer, but my computer died and I cannot fix it. I bought a new computer and put iTunes on it, but it tells me that if I want to sync my iPod with it, it will have to erase everything I have put on my iPod. I have been adding things for the past 3 years and I do not wish to lose everything and put nothing on it like iTunes is suggesting. Does anyone know of a way to put what I have on my iPod onto my new pc? Please help!

    Huh?
    You can sync to any computer you like.  You can sycn to your new computer.  You have simply failed to keep your content safe.
    Apple assumes that you will do the very basics of owning a computer and maintain a backup copy of your computer.
    The only issue here is that you failed to do the basics.
    Very sorry.

    It doesn't quite work that way. Transfer your music from the old computer to the new one. Then, sync the iPod.

  • Will Ipod Touch work with Windows 8

    Will IPod Touch work with Windows 8?  Why is that not even a listed option in the help feature?

    Apple has just not got around to revising the documentation to reflect Win 8. Just use instructions for Win 7
