On my iPod Touch, how can I best save my apps folders before a iOS 4 restore? I don't want to subsequent restore of the apps to eliminate the folders in which they are stored.

I know this is a few weeks late but hopefully this'll help others with the same problem.connect your iPod and backup!in iTunes, download the new softwareinstall the new software - this will wipe your iPod clean unfortunately.once the new software is installed, right-click on your iPod under Devices in iTunesgo to "Restore from Backup..." and select the backup you just made.All of your folders and (I think) apps should be back to where they were before but with the new software!It was a few weeks since I did this so I am not sure if this re-adds your apps but I do remember having to put all of my music back onto it. Hope this helps!
