iPod touch transfer apps and app data

[kailibur]

i just bought a pc laptop, so im trying to move all my itunes data for my 32gb touch 3g from our windows xp desktop to my windows 7 laptop, as the laptop is faster. the only prob is that i have lots of app dataa, as iv had my ipt since it came out. i worked hard to get my data on all abt 200 of my apps, and i dont want to loose that data when i erase and sync with my laptop. any ideas on how to move app data?
i think all i have to do is copy my backup and paste it into laptop, but i want to be sure. please no super complex ideas, im only 13 and my parents are worse with comps than ANYBODY, including the infant across the street.

i think all your apps are stored in a certain folder in your computer. On iTunes just right-click on one of your apps and chose show on explorer. I guess you can copy that folder into the new machine and just drag those apps into iTunes.

 

[(HAHA)]

if its all on your ipod right now, then you can rightcick on it and click "transfer purchases" it will do it for you. hope this helps.

i tried both ideas, but the transfer purchases transfered only songs and videos. i turned on home sharing with the desktop im trying to copy from, but even after enabling the app sharing part of home sharing, i still got nada. i think im just gona have to buy a 32gb flash drive to transfer everything. any other ideas before i do?

When it sync with a new library, as far as I know it only cares about your music. So it should be sufficient to connect to your new computer and get iTunes to pull a backup for you.
