If my iPod breaks, and I receive a new one due to my insurance (or in general), will my purchased games work on the new iPod?
 
Ok, cool ^^

For some reason I thought you could only use them for one iPod
 
You would have to go to the Store menu and then click Authorize with the iPod connected before you can sync stuff from your AppleID account over.
 
Sorry to bump this, but I just got a new pc and authorized my new pc with itunes. Shouldnt the games I purchased transfer or something?
 
Yes, after you've authorized the PC and when you connect the iPod, you'll either get a window asking you to Erase & Sync, Transfer Purchases, or Cancel. If it doesn't pop up, that's probably because you have the iPod set to be manually managed, you can go to the File menu and select Transfer Purchases from iPod.
 
thanks a ton:D Just one more thing, it worked, but where did iTunes actually transferred the files?

nvm: found it
