How do I make sure my backup module is empty?

I would like to sell an old backup module for the Visor. I'm about 95% sure I've never used it, but that 5% is bothering me. How can I see if anything is on it? If there is, how can I delete it? I inserted it into my old Visor and got the "back up now" screen. I figure that means it's working but don't know if it necessarily means it's empty. Also, the instructions say "using a backup module with a particular Handspring will associate that module with that handheld. If you subsequently choose to use the module with a different handheld, you will get a warning message". Does that mean if I test it on my old Visor it's useless to sell because it won't work with anyone else's Visor? Thanks in advance!

iTunes Store purchases may or may not be there depending on what country you're in and whether they're still available in the store; you don't have any control over this.
For music from other sources, sign up for iTunes Match.

  • Would like to verify Time Machine backup but when I enter TM and then open iPhoto, it only provides me a gray window telling me the size of the file. How do I make sure all iPhoto pictures have been backed up on Time Machine?

    Since Snow-Leo time machine offers an option to verify backups, but I have found that it does not work for external disks attached by USB or FireWire.
    Yes, that's for network backups only. 
    What can I do to make sure that the backups are OK?
    You can tell if the File System (the various directories, catalogs etc.) is ok by repairing your backup drive, per #A5 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting.
    You can "spot check" whether the Time Machine "Star Wars" display seems correct.
    You can do a full system restore to another disk per #14 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions, then start up from it and see if things are there and seem to work.
    You can keep "secondary" backups (always a good idea).  See #27 in the FAQ post for some suggestions.

  • HT4946 how can I make sure that itunes saved my contacts and photos on last back up ?

    How can I make sure that itunes saved contacts and photos FROM my iPhone on last back up ?, i just bought this phone and store transfer contacts from old non-smart phone and dont want to loose them !

    Look in whatever software on your computer handles your contacts and photos. Neither will be part of the backup file. This may be of help:

  • I want to delete my icloud-account from my iphone 5 and then register again, because I want to change my email-address/account name. What would be the steps to follow? How do I make sure I do not lose any information stored on/in my iphone 5?

    I want to delete my icloud-account from my iphone 5 and then register again, because I want to change my email-address/account name. What would be the steps to follow? How do I make sure I do not lose any information stored on/in my iphone 5?

    You would have to delete the existing iCloud account and create a wholly new one - you cannot change the @icloud.com email address of the one you already have.  To make a new one, you will also need an new AppleID as any AppleID can only have one iCloud account associated with it.
    Deleting the account will not delete anything off your device (if prompted for things like contacts, choose to keep them).  You will have to sync everything anew with the new account as you cannot move your sync'd content, your old backups or anything else from one iCloud account to another.  You will have to set up sync again and let it sync to the new account, and then make new backups to the new account as well.

  • How do I make a complete backup of iTunes before removing iTunes software?

    Hi!
    I am not able to update my iTunes software. If I try to download only the new files and install them manually, it does not work.
    Apple Support sent me a dead link, so that was not helpful.
    I think I have to remove the iTunes software, and then try to install the new iTunes software.
    How do I make sure that my music, apps, books, videos, podcasts, iPhone backup etc are backed up and able to reinstall when I have installed the new software?
    Anyone?

    I found the solution to my problem by reading some of the discussions.
    I was m\not able to automatically or manually updating my iTunes software.
    By doing this I solved my problem:
    Access Control Panel
    Select Programs
    Select iTunes
    Hit Repair
    This solved my problems, and iTunes was updated..

  • How do I make sure when I sync my i-pod to a new computor I don't lose all my apps , How do I make sure when I sync my i-pod to a new computor I don't lose all my apps

    How do I make sure when I sync my i-pod to a brand new computor I don't lose all my data??

    You copy all your stuff from the only computer to the new computer.  This includes the iPod backup file.  You then restore the iPod from backup on the new computer.

  • I want to remove my itunes library to a thumb make memory space - how can I make sure I keep all playlists and organizing intact?

    I want to remove my itunes library to a thumb make memory space - how can I make sure I keep all playlists and organizing intact?

    Do you mean a flash drive?  I don't know if I would trust one of those entirely.  Make sure you make a backup.
    Copy the entire iTunes folder to the flash drive.  Start iTunes while holding down the option/alt key and guide it to the library on the flash drive.  If you forget to plug in the flash drive before starting iTunes in the future you will have to do the option start thing again.

  • HT1751 Not all the music I have in Itunes is in the Itunes library, how do I make sure all is there to transfer to new computer

    I am trying to move my Itunes Library to a different computer. When I put the Itunes library onto the external hard drive it only had a portion of the songs. Alot did not copy over. How do I make sure that all the songs in Itunes are in the Itunes Library stored on my computer?

    These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
    Method 1
    Backup the library with this User Tip.
    Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
    Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
    Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
    Method 2
    Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
    Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
    I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
    Note if you have iOS devices and haven't moved your contacts and calendar items across then you should create one dummy entry of each in your new profile and iTunes should  merge the existing data from the device.
    If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
    Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library or a backup then then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

  • Hi! I just bought a new iPhone and I was wondering how i can make sure all my pictures and music will be transfered from my old iPhone to my new one?

    Hi! I just bought a new iPhone and I was wondering how i can make sure all my pictures and music will be transfered from my old iPhone to my new one?

    Pictures are held in the iPhone backup. If you backup the old device just prior to the activation of the new one, then restore from that backup, the photos will be there. Music is in iTunes on the computer and when you do the restore, it will download the music from iTunes to the device during the restore. Make sure any music purchased on the iPhone that has not been transfered to iTunes on the computer is done before beginning the restore.

  • HT4859 How do I make sure my messages are backed up

    How do I make sure i actually backed up my messages on my iPhone 3G

    The iPhone backup includes text messages, whether you back up to iCloud using iTunes.  The only way to verify any of the specific data in the backup, however, is to restore the backup to your phone.  You can't view the data inside the backup.

  • How do I make sure my pictures are being backed up on my photo stream?

    I kept getting notifications every time I charged my phone telling me that I didn't have enough space in iCloud for my phone to be backed up. I deleted the camera roll from being backed up on iCloud because I was told the last 1,000 pictures would automatically be uploaded to my photo stream on iCloud. I was also told that my photo streams do not count against iCloud storage because my phone hadn't been backed up for 11 weeks. How do I make sure my picture are being backed up on my photo stream?

    Photo stream doesn't back up photos, it streams them to your other devices.  Photo stream photos only remain in iCloud for 30 days, allowing sufficient time for them to download to your devices/computers.  It is true that photo stream photos don't count against your storage.
    You also shouldn't rely on your backup to save your camera roll if you're going to delete the photos from your phone.  If you delete them, then back up again, the new backup will overwrite the backup containing the deleted photos and they will be lost.
    If you want to save your photos, import them to your computer using your usb cable as explained here: iOS: Import personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer.

  • How can i make my iphone backup run on the "D" drive instead of "C" drive ??

    hi there, can someone tell me how to run the iphone backup on the "D" drive instead of the "C" drive??

    Where are iTunes backups stored on your computer
    The folder where your backup data is stored depends on your computer's operating system. Make sure the backup folder is included in your data-backup routine. iTunes places the backup files in these places:
    Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
    The "~" represents your Home folder. If you don't see Library in your Home folder, hold Option and click the Go menu.
    Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    To quickly access the Application Data folder, click Start, and choose Run. Type %appdata% and click OK.
    Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    To quickly access the AppData folder, click Start. In the search bar, type %appdata% and press Return.

  • How do I delete photos from my daughter's ipod that showed up on there when she got music from her aunt's itunes? Also how do I make sure none of my iphone pics show up on her ipod in the future (we use the same itunes account and I think same icloud).

    I'm totally new to iphone/ipod.  I need help with the following:
    1) How do I get rid of a folder of photos that showed up on my daughter's ipod touch when she received some songs from her aunt's itunes?  After she got some songs from that itunes a folder of pictures showed up with no delete option.  Does she need to reconnect to that itunes/computer and if so what do we need to do to remove this folder of pics from her ipod?
    2) Also, my daughter uses same itunes as myself, how do I make sure any pics I have on my iphone & icloud (itunes) don't show up on her ipod? I shut off my photostream so perhaps this is the solution.  But I noticed that a message I sent from her ipod to my sister (an iphone user) later showed up on my iphone (as if I had sent it from my iphone)! That was really odd. I'd like to keep our itunes account together simply so I can monitor her downloads, etc so I don't want to open up her own itunes to avoid automatic syncing.
    I only want to share music between our devices.  I don't want her pics nor my pics to go to icloud/itunes.
    Thank you!

    1) You asked "Does she need to reconnect to that itunes/computer and if so what do we need to do to remove this folder of pics from her ipod?" Yes, you have to connect the iPod to that computer and go to the Photos pane for the iPod in iTunes and uncheck sync photos and the click on synce/apply. In the future do not check sync photos.

    2)
    Create a NEW account for using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before.

  • I have just switched to samsung and i have removed the sim from the iphone however i am still receiving texts rather 'imessage' on the old iphone. how do i make sure all messages only come to my new phone??

    i have just switched to samsung and i have removed the sim from the iphone however i am still receiving texts rather 'imessage' on the old iphone. how do i make sure all messages only come to my new phone??

    You can turn iMessage off on your iPhone.  That's relatively easy.  Since iMessage is an Apple product/service, I have no idea how a Samsung phone will deal with an incoming one.  For that answer you should probably contact Samsung support.
