Transfer applications and settings from iPod touch to iPhone

Hi all,
Currently, I have an iPod Touch. I have bought applications and I have configured some applications on it.
I am quite interested to buy the last version of the iPhone. But before buying it, I would like to know if it is possible to transfer the applications and the settings from the iPod Touch to the iPhone.
If it is possible, do you know how to do it? Restoring the back up of the iPod? I don't options about that in iTunes.
Thank you for your help.
Damien

First, be sure all your applications are included in your iTunes library. (iTunes > File > Transfer purchases from XXX's iPod Touch).
The application data is not included in the app, but in your ipod Touch backup file.
You can upgrade one device with the backup from a different type of device; most settings will transfer to the new device. See this: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414

    how do i transfer the music and apps from ipod touch to iphone

    If you sign in to your Apple ID then your apps will be visible by clicking the "purchased" tab at the bottom of the screen.
    Music you've purchased from Apple will appear automatically if you sign in to your account. Other music you'll need to download from your PC assuming you're not subscribed to iTunes Match.

  • Transfer playlists and content from iPod Touch to new computer

    I was trying to search for old answers on this topic, but instead the system is forcing me to create a new post. 
    My old laptop crashed, and the backup I had of my iTunes was outdated.  I have more current music and playlists on my iPod Touch than are available to back up from my external hard drive, including a playlist I created for my dad's funeral.  I DO NOT WANT TO LOSE IT.  I spent hours and hours creating it, and ripping music for it, and facing losing it if I sync my iPod really hurts.  I am afraid to connect my iPod Touch to my new laptop for fear of losing that playlist and the music I ripped from his CD collection to create it.   
    Can someone please help me to back up my content, including my playlists and rippled music (and ideally apps and other content) from my iPod Touch to the new laptop?  (I also have voice mails in an app on my iPod from a friend who died shortly after my dad, and I don't want to risk losing those, either, as they are the only way I have of hearing his voice.)
    Again, because my old laptop crashed between backups, I do not have the option of backing up the iTunes data from the old computer and transferring it that way.  I have to get it off the Touch somehow and get it back into iTunes on the new laptop.
    (I hate Apple for making what should be super easy so hard!  Why is data transfer one-way only, from computer to device?  And how can I be certain my iPod Touch won't be erased and set to the content on the computer if I connect it??)
    Thank you to anyone who can help me!

  • Want to transfer data and sync my iPod touch to a new computer

    I have a new computer running Windows 7 and would like to sync my iPod touch to it now instead of my older computer running Windows XP. How can I transfer all my music, playlists, album art, apps, contacts, and other settings from the old machine to the new one? I connected my iPod to the new computer after I installed iTunes on it and got a message saying this iPod was already synced to another computer. I was able to get all the songs that I have purchased on iTunes, but the bulk of my music collection is from CDs that I own. I really don't want to have to import them into iTunes all over again on the new computer. Surely there is a way to transfer everything from one computer to another. Would appreciate being pointed in the right direction.

    - One you move the stuff to the new computer, restore the iPod from backup and sync.

  • PC to Mac transfer photos and Music from ipod photo 30gb

    My pc crashed and I got a mac, I don't know how to transfer music and photos to my new mac. I've read, something about senuti with an ipod shuffle. I want to know if its the same process to follow?
    Any help will be great

    1). Connect your iPod to your new computer. If it is set to sync automatically you'll get a message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod.
    2). When your iPod appears in the iTunes source list change the update setting to manual, that will let you continue to use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default: Managing content manually on iPod and iPhone
    3). Once you are connected and your iPod is safely in manual mode there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. iTunes will only let you copy your purchases directly from an iPod to the computer, you'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
    For everything else (including purchases) there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. I use Senuti but have a look at the web pages and documentation for the others too. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here (you'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos and games as well):
    Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
    Comparison of iPod managers
    A selection of iPod to iTunes utilities:
    Senuti Mac Only (iPod Touch & iPhone compatible)
    PodView Mac Only
    PodWorks Mac Only
    TuneAid Mac only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    YamiPod Mac & Windows
    iPod Music Liberator Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPodRip Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod Music Liberator Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)

    iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    TouchCopy Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide
    If you have full resolution copies of the photos on the iPod have a look here: Apple Knowledge Base article - Use Disk Mode to copy photos from iPod
    If not, there are a few programs out there for recovering photos from an iPod, have a look at the ones below. If you search the internet you can find more. Just be aware that what you'll be recovering will be photos optimised for the iPod so they won't be the same quality as the original full resolution versions:
    Keith's iPod Photo Reader Mac only
    iPod Photo Liberator Mac & Windows
    TouchCopy Mac and Windows Versions (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    4). Keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync.
    5). I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive

  • Can't get Contacts/Calendar to transfer from iPod Touch to iPhone 3Gs

    Just got the new iPhone 3Gs, and I have an iPod Touch (1st gen). I chose to sync manually because I didn't want my son's apps on my iPhone, but when I tried to sync my contacts and calendar from the iTouch to the iPhone, I get no contacts. How can I transfer my contacts and calendar from my iTouch to my iPhone? Thanks!

    You need to sync them from iTunes on your computer to your phone
    In iTunes on your computer click on tones in left column and make sure your ringtones are there.  Plug in your phone to computer with USB cable.  Click on phone name I left column. Click on the tone tab on the right of iTunes screen and then select sync all tones and then click on apply or sync at the bottom right of iTunes screen

  • How do i transfer photos and music from ipod to computer?

    Hi everyone,
    a couple of weeks ago my computer crashed and i lost everything, i don't know how to put the music and photos that are on my ipod back onto my computer, can anyone help me? i am especially bothered about the photos, as they are the only copy of them that i have (the other copy was on my computer) and they are quite sentimental, i really don't want to lose them! I have seen other people say to plug in the ipod, go to my computer and unhide the music and photos, i think i have found the music but it's all under weird names and my computer won't let me open it. With the photos, all that i can find is two folders called 'photo database' and 'thumbs', but again, i can't open them, i just get a message up saying 'windows cannot open this file' and 'windows needs to know where this file was made before it can open it.' if anybody can help me then it would be much appriciated, i really don't want to lose my stuff. many thanks in advance x

    These links will give you several methods of recovering whatever songs remain on your iPod; some free, some third-party software, some more comprehensive for restoring Playlists, Ratings, Play Counts, etc. Read them and their associated links before deciding on a strategy that works for you. There are many various third-party software programs that will offer a more robust process, or an easier GUI. Do a Google search for them if the links below leave you wanting…

    XPlay Photo Browser (For recovering Photos)
    Extremely Simple Method: (just to recover the song files – may not work on a Mac)
    1 - Open iTunes
    2 - Edit=>Preferences=>’Advanced/General’ tab
    2a --- Select ‘Copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library’: checked
    2b --- Select ‘Keep iTunes Music folder organized’: checked
    2c --- Click OK to store changes
    3 - Attach your iPod to the PC and hold down the ‘Shift+Ctrl’ keys until the iPod is fully recognized (this will defeat the auto-sync process)
    4 - If you get a dialog box to link the Library, decline this option
    5 - Within iTunes: Edit=>Preferences=>’iPod’ tab: switch iPod to manual transfer – click ‘OK’
    6 – File=>Add Folder
    7 - Browse to and open ‘My Computer’ (click on the ‘+’) and select the iPod
    8 - Click OK
    9 - The music files should start to transfer back into iTunes
    9a –- This will take some time depending on your PC and the amount of songs on the iPod
    No Playlists, or Ratings, Last Played, & Play Count attributes will be transferred from the iPod to iTunes using this method.
    If you have problems with seeing the iPod within 'My Computer', try switching your update method to 'manual' , detach the iPod, then reconnect the iPod to the PC.
    After recovering your song files, strongly consider developing a thorough backup strategy for just this type of situation (and many other potential disasters).
    You need at least two full sets of your music, not including what is on the iPod:
    -- One full set on the PC within iTunes (on internal HD or ExHD)
    -- One full set on an separate external backup medium (CD/DVD/ExHD/other)
    -- One (full or partial) set on the iPod
    Music files on just the iPod and only one other medium is not considered having any backup.
    If you cannot store your complete music files on the computer’s internal HD, then create and maintain at least two external sets (any multiple combinations of ExHDs, DVDs, CDs).
    Backup both the music files and the Library database file (iTunes Library.itl). What are the iTunes Library files?

    You can re-download music and apps without having to pay for it again. Without having a computer, you will need to download each one by one with your iPhone.
