Q: Transfer backed up itunes folder from ext HD to new ipod touch
Can a new ipod touch retrieve my backed up itunes folder from an external hard drive? How do I do this is it a matter of connecting my ipod to the Hard Drive or do I need a computer/laptop to do this through. The latest version I have is Mac Os X 10.6.8 (laptop)
Then if it works and all the music/audiobooks are on my iPod can this somehow be backed up to icloud? And will it recognise stuff I have not purchased through Apple, ie cd's etc....?
MacBook, Mac OS X (10.6.8)

iCloud automatically stores most of your iTunes purchased media. See:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
"iCloud" will only store non-iTunes purchased music if you subscribe/pay for the Apple iTunes Match service.
