How do I erase iphone tracking data from both the phone and my laptop?

I recently found out about the storage of tracking data on my phone and on my computer when I sync up.
I am running Windows 7 with the most recent version of itunes.
I have the following questions?
Where is this information located (directory path pls)?  I have a secure erasure program that can nuke this information with a Gutmann wipe.
What other methods are available for secure deletion of this information from the phone and my laptop?
Please advise.
thanx

    Place the device in DFU mode (google it) and restore as new.

    I just wanted to leave a note that it's working now. I'm not sure if it was the latest iTunes update that got it working or that i decided to start a new library instead of using the one i had backed up on Windows 8 (it didn't occur to me to check using the old library when i re-installed iTunes). But if anyone is having this problem, it might be worth trying again with a new installation of iTunes to see if the latest update works for you, and if not, try using a fresh library instead of a backup (by fresh library i mean discard your old library completely and start a new library, not just restore as new iPhone, a whole new library).

    I am trying to update ITunes from 10.4 to 10.5 I have tried from both the program, and from a download on Apple's website. Regardless, I get the following error messages: (1) Installation package for iTunes cannot be found. Try installing to find the installation package 'iTunes.msi' in a folder from which you can install iTunes.  I can't find this folder. I have tried to completely unistall iTunes through the Control Panel, but it wouldn't let me: I tried going directly to the files themselves, but cannot uninstall. Any help would be greatly appreciated. System OS: Win XP SP 3.

    Set the permissions for Everyone in the folder in which CCPackager created, to "Read/Write" enabled. This is strange since there is only an administrator account on the Mac (and that account already has read/write), but it seems to resolve the issue.

    Hi clintfromid,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.  I would recommend closing all your apps and restarting and maybe resetting as good initial troubleshooting steps for this:

    Did you do a malware check?
    Do a malware check with a few malware scan programs.
    You need to use all programs because each detects different malware.
    Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of the database.

  • How do I erase all my data from my iPad mini?

    I purchased a new Ipad mini yesterday.  I want to return it but first would like to erase all my data entered.  The only information I found on how to do this requires that one go to settings>general>reset>erase all data.  I tried this; however, my mini has no reset option in settings>general.  Any suggestions?

    On an iPad Mini the charger port is very small, the cable should look like this:
    The larger plug goes to the charger brick.  The smaller thinner plug goes into the iPad's port, labeled Lightning Connector in the picture below.

  • Erase iPhone 3 data from iTunes without erasing 4S dataa

    How do I erase the contact, calendar, and iPod data from my old iPhone 3G? I have a Mac. My data is on iTunes. It is on both my old phone and my new iPhone 4S? I am trying to erase the data from the old phone without erasing it from iTunes or from my new phone so that I can pass it on. In the old phone under settings - general. I selected "reset" but it wants me to sync with my computer. I am afraid to. Help

    If you plug in to your old computer, you can select your device and click Restore. When it is done, you want to select "Set up as new iPhone."

  • How can I erase all personal data from an e72?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated. 
    My one week old e72 came with a scratch under the glass. I have been a bit worried that any pressure on the phone in the future might lead the screen to crack, so to be on the safe side I am having the handset replaced straight away by my mobile network. 
    I am expecting a doorstep exchange in the morning, and they will collect the old phone all boxed up and provide a new sealed e72 in the box. 
    So, I need to delete all my information from the handset and memory card. So far I have formatted the memory card and done a factory reset from the phone menu, then a factory reset as detailed in another thread I found on here (* +3 + call). 
    But this hasn't removed my email accounts, text message inbox or calendar appointments from the phone, or removed applications that I installed. 
    Is there a simple way to erase all private data, as I really don't want the handset going back with all my work and private details on there.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Yep, make sure it gets the most recent update when you get it (guide): http://europe.nokia.com/support/download-software/device-software-update/can-i-update
    I would recommend to use memorycard as messagememory. You fixe that in messaging->options->settings->other.
    Try to install all 3rd party apps on memorycard and stay away from awkward themes
    Clear the privacy data within the browser once in a while (if you surf a lot).
    As much free space on the phone memory seems to be a good thing. I had the E71, and E72 and never had better phones with better buildquality. The E72 is fast too.
    If you concider this thread as Solved, set it as solved and set the post you felt answered your questions as solution. Enjoy your new device!

  • Erase all personal data from not working phone?

    Long story short: my attempt at replacing my iPhone 2g dock connector did not end well.
    My phone now consists of several parts.
    It's probably not going to be worth buying replacement parts and putting it back together (about 75 dollars in parts for a phone I paid 125 dollars for), and I'd like to cut my losses.
    I obviously can not connect this to iTunes and hit 'reset' a few times.
    Is there any way I can completely erase all my personal data - phonebook, recorded memos and stuff recorded in apps (aNote specifically, because it contains my diary and I think I temporarily disabled the passcode a few days ago) ?
    The Long story:
    I knew it had a broken dock connector and I couldn't figure out how to get to, I also broke the ribbon that comes out of the digitizer, and the battery kinda exploded when I tried to pry it loose and poked a hole into it with a screwdriver (sparks and all - turns out it was superglued to the aluminum) - so in order not to short out other parts I instantly cut all wires that connected the battery to everything else.
    In my defense I did successfully open up and replace the battery on an iPod nano so I like to think I'm not a complete idiot... (the digitizer ribbon got snagged behind a sharp edge when I very carefully pulled the screen off, and my YouTube instruction video said to leverage something underneath the battery..it's not supposed to be glued in like that?).

    Thank you.
    Although not really the answer I was hoping for
    The only expensive replacement part I needed was the screen/digitizer combo which is 50 dollars.. antenna wire, new battery and replacement dock were about 15 dollars.
    So I'm going to try and fix it. Will be good for my ego too if I succeed, little less so for the bank account. Wish me luck (if it fails I'll break the perfectly fine motherboard and sell the rest of the parts..)

  • How do I use Firefox Sync data from my Android phone to restore data to my desktop browser?

    I was attempting to cull some history, Firefox became non-responsive and had to be force closed. When it was re-opened, all my tabs which are typically restored were missing and I did not have the option to restore the session. According to sync on my Android, the last update there was about an hour ago, which would have been before issue with the desktop browser. How can I restore my info from my phone, ensuring it is not overwritten by the lack of data now on my desktop version?

    HI Snickers,
    There is an option to sync tabs. About:sync-tabs works on the desktop and can see the tabs from that device however this feature is not available for the mobile device. However from an active sync the current sessions are visible from the desktop page.
    In order to restore a session you may be able to restore the session if it crashed. [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1026370#answer-644109 With these instructions]

  • How do I keep a Window resize from holding the CPU and temporaily interrupting the Labview application?

    I am performing a data aquisition in one VI at 10000 Samples per second, then averaging 100 samples every 10 msec.  This runs in a loop and I monitor the time of the loop.  Another VI pulls the single point result of each 10 msec average and plots it to a graph.
    If another window on the Windows XP operating system is re-sized the LabVIEW VI performing the Acquisition suspends until the resizing is complete and I can watch the loop time go from 10 msec to whatever time the other window is being manipulated (100, 200 300 msec...).  The resulting graphical display will then show the next averaged plot point (this is a point to point drawing) without any of the 'real' analog activity that occurred during these +10 msec interruptions (the dataq VI pulls more than 100 samples to perform the averaging).
    Does anyone know how I can prevent the resizing from taking such a high priority on the CPU?  For various reasons I do not want to change my data acquisition scheme.

    chrisger  says: "if you want to pass data without loss you should use a method that allows buffering of data, e.g. queues. Take a look at the LV documentation (there are several solutions, but a named queue is the easiest way to go for such sort of applications)."
    Actually, one VI is running as the executable and the other is called dynamically.  The Dynamic VI uses a queuing vi common to both to access the data.  This part works well, it is the interrupt of the main vi perfoming the data aquisition that is the problem. 
    Because I am not using the full buffer of data, but only whatever portion is acquired and then averaged, the graphing vi essentially gets two (software timed) points and draws between them. 
    I realize software timing is bad, but I am kinda stuck with this scheme.  So, I want to minimize the interruption when a non-related window is re-sized.
