Backing Up iPod touch

iTunes creates backups of settings, downloaded applications and data, and other information on iPod touch. You can use a backup to restore these items to your iPod touch after a software restore or to transfer the information to another iPod touch.

Backing up iPod touch or restoring from a backup is not the same as syncing content and other items (such as music, podcasts, photos, videos, and applications that you download via iTunes) with your iTunes library. Backups include settings, downloaded applications and data, and other information that resides on iPod touch. You can restore these items from a backup using iTunes, but you may also have to sync your iTunes library content again.

Applications downloaded from the App Store are backed up the next time you sync with iTunes. Afterwards, only application data is backed up when you sync with iTunes.

Creating Backups

Backups can be created in the following ways:

Once iPod touch has been configured to sync with a particular computer, iTunes automatically makes a backup of iPod touch on that computer when you sync. iTunes won’t automatically back up an iPod touch that isn’t configured to sync with that computer. If you’ve configured iPod touch to automatically sync with iTunes on a specific computer, iTunes will back up iPod touch every time you connect it to that computer. Automatic syncing is turned on by default. iTunes only makes one backup each time you connect, even if you sync multiple times before disconnecting.

If you choose to update the software on iPod touch, iTunes will back up iPod touch automatically, even if it isn’t configured to sync with iTunes on that computer.

If you choose to restore the software on iPod touch, iTunes asks if you want to back up iPod touch before restoring.

If you use a Bluetooth headset or car kit with iPod touch and you restore settings, you must pair the Bluetooth device with iPod touch again to use it.
