About to update my computer. Need to find my backup

I'm about to update my PC hardware and I know from past experience with iTunes that it can be really picky. I need to be able to backup my backup file from my iTunes for my 3GS. The questions...
If my iTunes library/backup resides on a drive that will remain and get transferred to my new 'build', will iTunes try to wipe my phone and 'reinstall' from the library again?
Where does iTunes generally backup files on a PC?

followed the guide, it gave me HD, but I still has the black bars surrounding the video top, bottom, left right.
Not sure what to do.
EDIT: Found the project settings, and I assuem there lies the problem. I can't seem to be able to change the project settings mid-projects, but I can make a new project and simple import the old project into the new one with the new settings.
The question is what settings should I try?
EDIT2 : ok, I've run into another problem. I can't change the project settings of a finished project, and  am unsure how to put my clips and stills into a new project, short of putting the raw clips back in and re-shorting them, and re-inputting all the audio and stills into a new project. Any ideas?
EDIT 3: Found the answer in the FAQs

  • I backed up my iphone online need help find the backup

    I backed up my iphone online and cannot find where and how to retreive this information.

    Ok I will try to explain better.
    I had an iphone and backed it up to icloud online so I would not lose texts and numbers. My phone is gone, I need to retreive the messages especially from icloud to a readable format on my computer. I cannot use the phone or backup the phone to the computer as I no longer have it nor do I have any other cell phone.
    Is there a way to find my backup in icloud, move it to my computer and unlock\open it all without an iphone?
    I'm not sure why you didn't use this as your first post.  It would've save me some time answering you, instead of going in circles.
    you will need to buy another iphone to retrieve your icloud backup.

  • I need help finding a backup history?

    i need help figuring out how to restore my ipod  its back up but i was wondering if there is some how a feature where i can find like a back up history so i can restore my ipod to a backup from a different date instead of the last backup any ideas? I accidentally jacked up my ipod and i need to see if i can go to a sort of backup history from apple so i can restore my ipod from a different date instead of the LAST back up

    This shows what I see if I use the Edit > Preferences > Devices in iTunes.
    (Use Alt or Ctrl+B if you don't see the menu bar.)
    It shows just one backup for each of four devices (I don't normally update at this machine). As I recall if there were more, the additional backups would contain the restore date as part of the left-hand column.
    I suspect you're not going to like what you find.

  • When we update our computer, do we have to backup everything?

    If we software update on our mac, do we have to backup everything?

    Software update do not erase everything on the computer. 

  • NEED HELP FINDING A BACKUP 7.1.1

    I had an activation error on my phone today and it wouldnt let me do anything from that screen so I tried plugging it in to my mac and it just pulled up a screen saying that same thing not letting me do anything. So I put the phone through recovery mode and was gonna restore it from an icloud back up a few days back but the only back up available was a back up that was on my mac from december and told me that my phone has never been backed up to the cloud which isnt true. If I go into setting on my phone it tells me my last backup to the cloud was on Jun 7 2014. So my question is how do I find that back up or get my phone to restore from that back up because when I plug into my mac my itunes says there isnt any icloud back ups. Ive lost a ton of stuff and im ******.  Does anyone know how to fix this ? Im open to suggestions and would really appriciate some help.

    Nevermind. I actually figured it out. Phew!

  • How to find iCloud backup after reset

    Hi,
    recently my iPad2 froze/Hung after an update to iOS7xx. After a non responsive period of a few hours and with no response to shutdown/startup I tried to enter DFU mode with the hope that I could then simply use recboot or something similar to exit DFU mode. No such luck so after downloading many different versions of firmware, I finally got the iPad to install as a new device using a new computer and fresh iTunes. Now I need to find my backup so I can restore using my Apple ID but don't know enough about iCloud to go about it. Can someone please help me with this. Many thanks.

    Go to Settings > General > Reset > Erase all contents and settings.  After the reset, go thru the setup until you're on that page that gives you the option to "Restore from iCloud backup".

  • Can't find old backups in iCloud

    I need a 14 day old iCloud backup for my iPhone. When I look on my computer and click show older backups, all I get are my iPod backups. I need To find that backup. Please help!!

    "However, only you last 3 backups are retained, so if you have been backing up to iCloud daily a backup from 14 days ago would no longer be available."
    Hi, I'm trying to access data backed up to cloud over a month ago.  I typically back up from cloud daily except in the past week or two it won't because there's not enough room.  Are you saying that if I haven't backed up in 3 days I can't access data successfully backed up a month ago (when it was successfully creating daily backups?)

  • I have a vintage mac computer that I am trying to download the asian language pack for simplified chinese; However the error message tells me I need an update installer?? Cannot find the right download for the 10.5.8 OS

    I have a 10.5.8 os and need the simplified Chinese languag pack which I have not been able to download. It says I need an update installer which I cannot find as well/ or one that will work. Any suggestions?

    Are you sure it is not already there?   In system preferences/international/language, don't you see simplified Chinese on the list?  It is supposed to be there.  You just move it to the top and restart to put the OS into that language.
    Missing language packs can also normally be installed  by running the Language Translations installers found in the OptionalInstalls.mpkg of the Leopard DVD.

    First, you should be sure you have fully uninstalled the software. If you have no uninstaller nor directions for uninstalling, then see:
    Uninstalling Software: The Basics
    Most OS X applications are completely self-contained "packages" that can be uninstalled by simply dragging the application to the Trash.  Applications may create preference files that are stored in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder.  Although they do nothing once you delete the associated application, they do take up some disk space.  If you want you can look for them in the above location and delete them, too.
    Some applications may install an uninstaller program that can be used to remove the application.  In some cases the uninstaller may be part of the application's installer, and is invoked by clicking on a Customize button that will appear during the install process.
    Some applications may install components in the /Home/Library/Applications Support/ folder.  You can also check there to see if the application has created a folder.  You can also delete the folder that's in the Applications Support folder.  Again, they don't do anything but take up disk space once the application is trashed.
    Some applications may install a startupitem or a Log In item.  Startupitems are usually installed in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder and less often in the /Home/Library/StartupItems/ folder.  Log In Items are set in the Accounts preferences.  Open System Preferences, click on the Accounts icon, then click on the LogIn Items tab.  Locate the item in the list for the application you want to remove and click on the "-" button to delete it from the list.
    Some software use startup daemons or agents that are a new feature of the OS.  Look for them in /Library/LaunchAgents/ and /Library/LaunchDaemons/ or in /Home/Library/LaunchAgents/.
    If an application installs any other files the best way to track them down is to do a Finder search using the application name or the developer name as the search term.  Unfortunately Spotlight will not look in certain folders by default.  You can modify Spotlight's behavior or use a third-party search utility, EasyFind, instead.
    Some applications install a receipt in the /Library/Receipts/ folder.  Usually with the same name as the program or the developer.  The item generally has a ".pkg" extension.  Be sure you also delete this item as some programs use it to determine if it's already installed.
    There are many utilities that can uninstall applications.  Here is a selection:
        1. AppZapper
        2. AppDelete
        3. Automaton
        4. Hazel
        5. AppCleaner
        6. CleanApp
        7. iTrash
        8. Amnesia
        9. Uninstaller

    If you are having an immediate problem with ads popping up see The Safe Mac » Adware Removal Guide, AdwareMedic, or Remove unwanted adware that displays pop-up ads and graphics on your Mac - Apple Support.
    Open Safari, select Preferences from the Safari menu. Click on Extensions icon in the toolbar. Disable all Extensions. If this stops your problem, then re-enable them one by one until the problem returns. Now remove that extension as it is causing the problem.
    The following comes from user stevejobsfan0123. I have made minor changes to adapt to this presentation.
    Fix Some Browser Pop-ups That Take Over Safari.
    Common pop-ups include a message saying the government has seized your computer and you must pay to have it released (often called "Moneypak"), or a phony message saying that your computer has been infected, and you need to call a tech support number (sometimes claiming to be Apple) to get it resolved. First, understand that these pop-ups are not caused by a virus and your computer has not been affected. This "hijack" is limited to your web browser. Also understand that these messages are scams, so do not pay any money, call the listed number, or provide any personal information. This article will outline the solution to dismiss the pop-up.
    Quit Safari
    Usually, these pop-ups will not go away by either clicking "OK" or "Cancel." Furthermore, several menus in the menu bar may become disabled and show in gray, including the option to quit Safari. You will likely have to force quit Safari. To do this, press Command + option + esc, select Safari, and press Force Quit.
    Relaunch Safari
    If you relaunch Safari, the page will reopen. To prevent this from happening, hold down the 'Shift' key while opening Safari. This will prevent windows from the last time Safari was running from reopening.
    This will not work in all cases. The shift key must be held at the right time, and in some cases, even if done correctly, the window reappears. In these circumstances, after force quitting Safari, turn off Wi-Fi or disconnect Ethernet, depending on how you connect to the Internet. Then relaunch Safari normally. It will try to reload the malicious webpage, but without a connection, it won't be able to. Navigate away from that page by entering a different URL, i.e. www.apple.com, and trying to load it. Now you can reconnect to the Internet, and the page you entered will appear rather than the malicious one.An excellent link to read is Tom Reed's Mac Malware Guide.

    From user Joe Bailey comes this equally useful advice:
    The facts are:
    1. There is no anti-malware software that can detect 100% of the malware out there.
    2. There is no anti-malware that can detect everything targeting the Mac.
    3. The very best way to prevent the most attacks is for you as the user to be aware that
         the most successful malware attacks rely on very sophisticated social engineering
         techniques preying on human avarice, ****, and fear.
    4. Internet popups saying the FBI, NSA, Microsoft, your ISP has detected malware on
        your computer is intended to entice you to install their malware thinking it is a
        protection against malware.
    5. Some of the anti-malware products on the market are worse than the malware
        from which they purport to protect you.
    6. Be cautious where you go on the internet.
    7. Only download anything from sites you know are safe.
    8. Avoid links you receive in email, always be suspicious even if you get something
        you think is from a friend, but you were not expecting.
    9. If there is any question in your mind, then assume it is malware.

  • How do those who don't watch boards find out about firmware updates?

    Since 'Software Update' doesn't alert users to firmware updates, I wonder how those that don't monitor these boards and other 'Mac news' sites find out about firmware updates?
    Yes, Boot Camp made headline news in many major newspapers and those who wanted to install it found they needed to update the firmware first.
    But, had I not read about it elsewhere earlier, I would not have known about the second MBP firmware update (which, apparently, solves some of the 'whine' issues - I've had no whining but I like to keep my firmware, in particular, up to date!).
    Just as a note to Apple - you've a database of all who have registered their MPB's (at least those with AppleCare if not those who simply run set-up with new Mac purchases). If firmware updates aren't included in the 'Software Updates' procedure, shooting off an email to those with machines that might be in need of firmware updates may save a world of grief to overworked phone support techs.

    Yes, I'm familiar with the support page but my point is that not all (in act, likely very few) are familiar enough with that page to go to "Top Downloads" to find firmware updates.
    On page 25 of the MacBook Pro Users Guide, Apple DOES suggest, in the next to the last paragraph, suggest "For support information, user discussion boards, and the latest Apple software downloads, go to www.apple.com/support."
    But if a new user is having problems he or she is more likely than not to pick up the phone first - and although there's the 90-day phone support and 3 year phone support for those who purchase AppleCare (which new users may not - particularly if buying from, say, CompUSA or other stores who push 'extended warranties' even with the purchase of products whose manufacturers already provide LIFETIME warranties) Apple has thoughtfully provided automated Software Updates (which Windows switchers understand all too well!) but no automated way to be lead to firmware updates. It's my feeling that if firmware notification were included in SU notifications, or via email, it might reduce the number of phone calls and result in happier computers.
    While I enjoy reading all the Mac news on a daily basis, a lot of users don't and there may be an even greater number who don't know the wheat from the chaff (or even know where to find the wheat!).
    Some firmware updates are critical, some of minor importance, and some (more and more of late, it seems) just a bit cryptic (for instance, 1.01 says "This firmware update is for (MacBook Pro)/iMac (early 2006) computers with Intel processors only. It now runs on localized systems that use languages that read right to left." and then lists the languages supported - which do not include Hebrew or Arabic, two "languages that read right to left".
    The only reason that I brought this up is that there are a number of sites that reported that the firmware update alleviates some of the 'whine' that some MBP users are reporting (and now I am reading of 'hum' issues - forget GarageBand! An hundred MBP's could replace a symphony!). Now is that true or not? Apple doesn't say - some users report yes, some no. And as there are no whine or hum issues on the iMac, I doubt 1.01 would 'solve' any of those problems with that machine (and interesting, too, that the "iMac (early 2006) Firmware Update 1.0.1" isn't in the "Top Downloads" section as is "MacBook Pro (early 2006) Firmware Update 1.0.1": what's up with that? Are there really more MBPs out there than Intel iMacs? Or are MBP owners running Windows in Arabic more than Intel iMac owners? Or just hopeful that the update does, indeed, help with the whine problem.
    I keep getting off topic (sort of)...
    ...my point is that it would be simple to notify, and simpler for (in my opinion), Apple to notify customers of firmware updates.

    We have 30 ipads at our school and it is great.  We are about 850 student on my school and everyone are using the ipads. One hour at the time. (we have a booking system.)
    I teach music and are using Garageband. I need to find away were my students that are working on a project can export the files and save them somewhere, so when they 7 days later open Garage band can import there song with all the correct  midi-tracks. When I export the song to Icloud the song become an Mp4 file (I think).  And I can import the files via Icloude.
    This is because too many times the song has been sabotages during the week
    Dan Sweden

    Dan,
    your students could store their projects in iCloud, only you would continously have to change the AppleIDs of the iPads, so each student could store the songs with their own AppleID.  I don't think this will be feasable.
    The other possibility would be to share the projects to iTunes and to download them to iTunes  on a Mac at the end of each lesson. Does your school have Macs? This will not work with PCs.
