My son lost his ipod touch. We replaced it for

Everything synced on your comouter should be restored once your done with the factory reset. If you have apps that aren't synced to your computer, then don't worry because.your apple account saves all free and paid purchases so that you can download them again at a later time. Hope I helped. Sorry youve been waiting for a response for so long

• Connect your IPOD Touch to iTunes
• Press or Hold the power and home keys 10 seconds.
  
• Screen goes black, now release the power button
• Make sure you do not release the Home key until your iTunes says "We have detected an itouch in recovery mode."
• After this its simple all you got to do is a simple restore using your itunes

Connect to iTunes means that your iPod Touch is in Recovery mode.
Simply plug your iPod Touch into your computer, laptop, or netbook and iTunes will tell you to restore to the latest firmware. Press "OK" and it'll download the latest firmware. In this case "iOS4".
Once it's done you'll have to sync all your music, games, apps ect what you have lost or choose a Back-Up.
Hope this helps :)

Connect your iPod to your computer, run iTunes, click on your iPod in iTunes, then "Sync".

After syncing is done, click on "Restore".

After restoring is done, click on "Sync" again.

Hello, Apple support rep here.
Have you tried deleting them and re-syncing them from iTunes? If so and that did not work, backup your library (music purchases, etc) then do a fresh soft install (restore) and put the backup you made previously back on. If that doesn't work please let me know.

Not always automatic. You do need to go into the apps tab while in iTunes (looking at the highlighted iPod) and select the apps to sync. As long as the box is checked next to it and you legitimately own the app and it is iPod Touch compatible, it should work without a hitch.

Okay, if you downloaded them off the internet, (like not off of itunes) then the apps are modded and they need a jailbroken ipod for them to sync to.. look up "jailbreak ipod touch".. i jailbroke mine best thing ever.. i cant live with out it..

its possible that maybe some software has corrupted the touch, personally i have one thats jailbroken and when i sync it, none of my apps work, so my suggestion is to wipe it clean, and doing a shift restore

when you sync the iPhone with the computer, iTunes will only add what is new, it will not delete your apps.

Setting Up Syncing You use iTunes on your computer to set up which items are synced. Make sure you have the most recent version of iTunes (On a PC, open iTunes and choose Help > Check for Updates. On a Mac, open iTunes and choose iTunes > Check for Updates.
Step 1: Connect iPhone or iPod touch

1. Connect iPhone or iPod touch to your computer using the included cable. You can connect the cable from your computer directly to iPhone or iPod touch, or connect the cable from your computer to the Apple Universal Dock (available separately) and put iPhone or iPod touch in the dock. By default, iTunes opens automatically.
2. Select iPhone or iPod touch in iTunes under Devices on the left hand side and click the Info tab.

Step 2: Set Up Which Items Are Synced Click the respective tabs in iTunes to specify which media and information you want synced from your computer to iPhone or iPod touch.

Step 3: Sync iPhone or iPod touch Click Apply in the lower-right corner of the screen. Your computer syncs with iPhone or iPod touch according to your settings.
The first time you sync iPhone or iPod touch, you are asked if you want to merge data, replace data on the service, or replace the data on your computer. After that, anytime you connect iPhone or iPod touch to your computer, iTunes opens and syncs with iPhone or iPod touch according to your settings.
You can adjust sync settings anytime iPhone or iPod touch is connected to your computer. You can only connect and sync with one iPhone or iPod touch at the same time. If you need to sync more than one iPhone or iPod touch, disconnect one before connecting the other.
Note: Syncing won't delete any contact in Yahoo! Address Book that contains a Messenger ID, even if you've deleted the contact from your address book on iPhone or your computer. To delete a contact containing a Messenger ID, log in to your Yahoo! account online and delete the contact using Yahoo! Address Book.
