The other day, I bought a new iPod touch, I like it very much. All it did terrific jobs until this morning.

This morning, I was going to listen to my music using my iPod touch, however, the disaster came. All my music and video content disappeared. I was so anxious that I’m afraid of losing all my favorite songs and videos. I open iTunes to sync my iPod touch, but iTunes told me that it didn’t recognize my iPod touch and suggested restoring to the factory settings. My God, I was nearly crazy with the trouble. Most importantly, I won’t want to lose all my files, I spent seven hours to get them and did not back them up. But I was sure that I didn’t delete them, the files must be still in my iPod touch.

So I did google a lot. Thank Goodness! I find a solution to backup my iPod files to my computer. I download the third software called iPod Transfer, which does a great job helping me back all my songs and video files up to my computer. Following is to restore my iPod touch. Although spent more than ten minutes, now I have all my songs and videos retrieved.

Thanks to iPod Transfer! Now I want to share with iPod users how to backup your iPod files to computer in case of suddenness.

Step one: Download iPod Transfer and run it.

Step two: Connect you iPod to your computer, and all your iPod files will be automatically shown in the program as the screenshot. You can set the columns display.



Step three: Select the songs or videos you want to backup, click “Copy” button then specify the backup directory.



Please note that the trial version only allows you copy five files. I have numbers of music songs and videos, so I purchased an official version. Although the program charges me $19.95, I think it is worth that price.

There must be free versions for this task. If I ever get an iPod, I'd always use alternatives to iTunes.

And of course I will personally never buy an Ipod, I would rather buy a huge mp3 player !
