Will I loose Ipod Apps if i format?

[jp_2031]

I was just curious, If i were to reformat my PC, would I loose the apps which i have purchased for my Ipod touch?

Just wondering, as I was going to buy some of the more expensive apps, but I dont really want to pay twice if somthing ever were to happen to my pc, or i get a new one

Also, what will happen if i were to put my ipod on a new computer or laptop? Im getting a macbook in a few months time.

If you don't back then up, yes. You'll lose everything!

There will be a folder, (I assume they're stored in Music/iTunes Music etc.), so just back that folder up, and then put it back when you reformat your PC.

Put it onto a DVD if it'll fit (or two ideally), or an external hard drive or USB flash drive.

Brilliant, didnt notice the apps were in there. I will put them on my external hard drive
Thanks very much :)
