    Hey, i have all my games on a computer, now i got a new computer. How do i get the games over to the new computer? I know i can download them for free, with the same account, and then i can install them but im losing all saved games on my ipod.

    So is there are way i can transfer the games, and install them without loose all my date?

    Yes, there is a way.
    If You own Windows on Your old PC, go to My Documents>My Music>iTunes>Mobile Applications and copy all .ipa files on pendrive or CD.
    On new computer find this path again (after iTunes installation) and copy .ipa files from flash disc to hard disc in Mobile Applications folder.
    I guarantee it works.

    Australia, mate!
    Just sync your iTouch to your new computer, and all of the information from your iTouch will be stored on your new computer. Simple.

    It does not seem to work for me :(

    I authorized the mac, Then have tried the Transfer purchases from the iPod.... The status shows that the files are being copied but the files actually do not get over... grrrr :mad:

    I haven't updated to 9.03 yet, so I wouldn't know. That brings up another topic. I've downloaded the latest iTunes update, but I can't install it. The error message reads 'Unable to access %APPDATA%/'. What should I do?

    If you still have your old computer, just setup home sharing in iTunes and transfer everything over that way.

    Not to derail the thread, but does anyone know how I can sync my iPhone with a new computer if I forgot to unauthorize it on my old computer before I got rid of it?

    You can still sync if you configure the new computer with the same account. The only issue you might run into is that you may have reached the limit for the number of devices that can authorize the same account. In that case do a Deauthorize All to reclaim ALL the licenses from all devices. Your computers and phones will reclaim the licenses when you log in with them.

    Be aware that there are a limited number of Deauthorize All requests you can make. So make 'em count.

    The only way for you to not loose any data on your iPod Touch is for you to tie it up.
