Question by ej105: How do I protect my iPod Touch applications and photos after I lost the host computer?
Here is the problem.When I bought my iPod Touch I registered it to a computer. When I try to plug it into a different computer, it warns me that I will lose all my applications if I switch computers. The original computer that I registered my iPod to no longer exists so I need a new host computer.I do not want to lose the information on my iPod, they are too important. How can I change computers without losing the info on my iPod?Thank you.

You need to authorize your new itunes library with the SAME itunes account you used to purchase your old apps. You can re-download any application after you have bought it from the itunes store as many times you want. After you authorized your new computer right click or control click the ipod tab then click “Transfer purchased music and video” for any songs or movies you bought from the itunes storeIf you want to back up music/videos you downloaded from other sources like Amazon.ca to your new computer, please try http://www.getsharepod.com/ it is a free automatic backup solution that supports all ipod models.
