It is called iTunes.  I have done this with an iPhone and assume the iPod Touch 
would be the same.  Just plug the iPod Touch  into the machine and for tunes 
and movies and apps you can right click or control click on the iPod Touch in 
the left hand device column thing and tell it to backup or upload purchased 
items.  I forget the actual verb it uses but it is something like that.  For 
images, just plug it in and let iPhoto import them as normal.  You can also get 
iTunes to become the new master for this iPod Touch by telling it to synch and 
telling it to then become the new master.  BUT BEFORE YOU DO THAT UPLOAD THE 
PURCHASED MATERIAL AND DO A BACKUP MANUALLY (also a right click contextual menu 
option)
