    Hey all,

    Was hoping someone can assist me with a ridiculous itunes unfriendly problem.

    I just recently had to reformat my computer due to a virus and consequently lost itunes.

    I lost music that I didnt back up on my external hard drive and all my downloaded apps from app store. thankfully its on my ipod touch still.

    Now I connected my ipod touch to the now blank itunes in hope that it will recognise that they were downloaded by me and sync it accordingly onto itunes. It didnt and asked if I wanted to delete the data on the itouch. NOOO!!!!!

    So wish there was a "WTF" button!!!

    How do i get all my ipod touch data onto Itunes now?

    Can anyone help me to sort this out?

    go to File->Transfer Purchases from iPod.

    It should work.
     
  3. Just buy one free app from the app store and then your account will 'authorize' that computer and then it should ask to transfer purchases to your itunes account on your computer when you try to synch it.
