Hi can anyone give me some advice, I need to set my laptop to factory settings (i've just found all the disks). The problem I have is with my Itunes I don't want to loose all my music, apps etc. can I just download everything to my Touch and classic and then download Itunes again and sync.

You can use the disk mode on the ipods as a temp backup of your music.
If you have a Mac, use the archive and install feature to set the system back to original settings. Create a backup just in case.
Google is your friend.

Thanks for that buddy, I've got all my music apps etc back on my itunes the only thing I can't get back on to pc is my photos, other than e-mailing them to myself one at a time (there are over 300!!!) i dont know what to do, can anyone help please xxxxx

Try archiving the pictures with WinRAR, then upload the files to a file hosting service like http://uploaded.to/. Then you can email yourself the link.
