    I knew it.
    I've been speculating for the longest time that it was the iPhone AppStore that caused this and I was right. Yay me.

    Now it's time for me to do this for 94 apps, and a good amount of those are big ones.:(

    Also if I do this process, and then for some reason I need to restore my iPod, do I have to re-do it. Or can I just restore from backup, like iTunes intended from the beginning.

    You don't have to reinstall all your apps at one time. Install your favorites now, and install the others as you have time.

    And no, you shouldn't ever have to do this again, so long as you stay away from the App store on the device, the backup files should stay in good form. I imagine that restoring from a backup will be quicker now too.

    Who knows, this may have been the root of most of 2.0's bugginess! Wouldn't that be nice. :D

    Hm.. erm... I don't have a mac. I got that file address from someone else. I apologize if I'm wrong. Maybe it's different for the different OS versions?

    Get a Life! LMAO shows how much you are matured. Ya maybe it was an opinion but there was no need for it the be Bolded and have Greater Size. Stop hating case you dont get respect around here caz you dont take time to make a GREAT GUIDE! I would much rather have it back up fast then Cancel it and not have anything backed up.

    Immaturity - Ruins everything! Go get a girl friend lmao.

    My opinion.

    wats the point of backing up? it only backs up your settings and contacts, rite? you still have to sync everything after restoring?
