    Hi!

    I reinstalled my iTunes and right before I copied my Mobile Applications folder to another harddrive and also put all of my apps onto my Touch.

    Now I copied the folder back into iTunes, but missed two apps. I wanted to put my purchases from the Touch back into iTunes with the option to sync my purchases, but nothing happens. It starts and then it suddenly stops.

    I also cannot access my apps from within iTunes on my Touch. The pages are greyed and I cannot click on them or move them.

    Does anybody have an idea what I have to do?

    Then it would delete all of my save data from all of my games...I don´t want that to happen, also there is one app "Fly Kiwi Fly" that I bought and forgot to make a backup of. It´s on my Touch, but not on my harddrive.

    I can put podcasts and music on my Touch, but I just can´t transfer my purchases back to iTunes.

    I thought one could redownload any app purchases one has made, but when I want to download Fly Kiwi Fly, it says that my credit card will be charged.

    Unless you have a good backup to restore from you might have lost your game saves buddy. As for the Kiwi app you won't be charged again you don't have to sync to iTunes re-download it. That's from experience. How does the kiwi app play by the way? I haven't checked it out yet.

    You may be screwed. Call Apple and tell them the situation.

    iTunes allows only one-way synchronization of musics from computer to iPod, so if for whatever reasons such as need to reload your library on local hard disk due to desktop hard disk failure or buying new computer, you can easily copy back the video, music and song library from iPod on a Windows PC by following steps:

    1.Insert your iPod to the computer USB or FireWire port and wait for the computer to recognize it (PC should be Windows based).
    2.Make sure "disk use" has been enabled.
    3.Open up 'My Computer' and under 'Devices With Removable Storage', double click and open your iPod.
    4.If you can not see the ‘iPod Control’ folder, it’s hidden and invisible. To unveil it so that it’s visible, find Tools -> Folder Options -> View, and then check (enable) the option “Show hidden files and folders”.
    5.Double click on the newly shown 'iPod Control' folder and open up the folder called 'Music'.
    6.Select all the folders and copy them to a new folder on your computer’s hard drive. Now you can eject your iPod.
    7.To reveal the names of the songs and other data tags on the copied files, you should drag the files to the Windows Media Player or iTunes libraries or switch to “Tiles” view in Windows Explorer.
    8.Rename the file if necessary. (iTunes will already have the tags stored for these songs so renaming them should not be an issue).

    i face the same issue, after I consolidate the content, the mobile appication folder is duplicated, some apps to to the new mobile application folder, some go to the old one. Very confusing.

    the app purchases can be downlaod again .you can goole for more about it ,
    since you can put podcasts and music on you Touch ,then you can use the ipod transfer to Transfer Song from iPod to iTunes Music Library, you can free download to have a try ,it is a free try . the tansee ipod transfer works well.
