after reading this i dont understad why, even after backing my ipod up i get this message from itines when i click update.

 

there are purchased items on the ipod "(my ipods name)" that have not been transfered to your itunes libary. you should transfer theses items to your itunes libary before updating this ipod. are you sure you want to continue"

 

ive been saying cancel as i dont want to risk losing anything, does anybody know why it says this and/or how i transfer it to my libary.

i have tried quite a bit. the computer is autherised to my account and i have logged in.

    Use File > Transfer Purchases from <Device>.

     

    If there are any purchases on the device belonging to accounts for which your computer is not authorized then they won't be transferred. When you sync the device any media that is on the device but doesn't have a matching entry in the library will be removed.
