It is always a good idea to keep a copy of all custom files on a 2nd computer for safe keeping. Here you will find instructions how to send a copy of a file to a PC and how to send it back to the computer. These instructions use iTunes running on a PC to copy files back and forth. We suggest always using a wired connection to a PC to copy files consistently.
NOTE: If using a Dedicated TouchChat Express, see article, "Connecting to a Computer for the First Time".
