[QUOTE="Lifeisabeach, post: 1590951, member: 38864"] What you are asking is if you can restore an iPhone using an iPod backup? I just did some reading and while many people say it is possible to do so, one person who successfully did it said he'd periodically lose the ability to receive phone calls and wound up resetting it and setting it up from scratch. That may be unrelated though and a simpler reset of the network settings may have sufficed in his case (we had a similar problem with calls inexplicably going straight to voicemail here at home). The best thing to do may be to set it up as a new device, but it will sync any compatible apps over. As for getting the backup of your iPod on the MacBook, that shouldn't be a problem. Connect your iPod to the MacBook and backup to that before leaving.
