Thanks to Alan, Richard and John for their responses on this thread. Just wanted to say that problem is solved. Not sure why sync/backup didn’t quite work as expected since I attempted to follow directions as presented. I ultimately deleted the apps from my Itunes library and downloaded individually. While this was a bit time-consuming, the advantage was that I had to think about which ones I actually wanted/needed on the phone since I only have 16gb vs. 64gb on my Ipod with room to spare on latter, and since I took the time to download by category they pretty much ended up grouped as I want them so I didn’t have to mess with folders or moving things around. Anyway, today made first call from the keypad and am setting up my contacts. Eventually I hope to actually know what I’m doing, smile.

You'll get the most restored from an iTunes encrypted backup. Also, make sure you sync your iPod with your computer in iTunes so the apps get copied to your computer and will be included in the restored backup. I made the mistake with a friend thinking that apps on her phone would be automatically included in an iTunes encrypted backup but since the apps were downloaded on the phone which was never synced to iTunes, the apps were not restored. You can always re-download them from the iTunes Store but if you're using a preferred older version, you'll be out of luck because you'll get the current version from the iTunes Store. Good luck.

Today I went to Apple’s genius bar and had the phone reset but was advised that I had to complete the process of backing up from my own computer. Am I correct to think that a restore from Itunes backup will allow me to migrate my purchased apps from my Ipod? When I connect to Itunes the Iphone does not appear to be recognized and nothing seems to happen. Is there something I’m missing? Any help is very much appreciated.
