back itouch and Itunes

[Yvon]

Simple question...
But I asked on 2 different forum before doing this post and I have no answer!
I use win7, RTM should be out tomorrow so I will format my computer this week.
I just got an Ipod touch a few weeks ago.
How do I back up itunes so I wont lost anything on my ipod?
I don't want to loose my contact or my apps!
I already have all my MP3 videos backed up on an external hard drive.

Maybe after I install Itunes it will just synch my ipod and everything will be there?
I just want to make sure.

Nope, it won't be the same library in my experience. Songs will only go from comp to iPod, and not the other way around (unless you bought them on the iTunes music store on your iPod Touch).

You can, however, backup your iTunes library folder and put it back in place on your fresh install. That should do the trick.

Merci
What about my Apps and contact?
I guess I just need to do a new back up and that's it?
