HT1212 will doing this erase all my data?

will doing this restore process erase all my data? notes and photos? which is most important to me.

If you restore from backup via iTunes, only the content that was added to the device since the backup was created will be lost. (e.g. new pictures/videos taken with the device).
If you restore as new, all content on the device will be wiped.

When i go to sync my apps with my computer it tells me ''are you sure you want to sync apps ? all exsisting apps and there data on (iphone) will be replaced with the apps on this itunes library'' does this mean all my data will be lost if i continue ?

Regarding your broken, previously authorized computer, here's how that works:
You would authorize your new computer -- maybe you've done that already. Then you will have two computers authorized. Apple allows you to have up to five computers authorized at any time. If you get to five, you can then go to your account details in iTunes and remove all authorizations.
Bear in mind this is not saying you can synch to more tham one library. Razmee209 and gdgmacguy's comments above are correct. But if Apple only allowed you to authorize one computer at a time, then having a broken computer would mean you could no longer use your Apple ID with iTunes.

Error message when I try to sync my iphone with iTunes: the required software is not installed. Remove iTunes and re-install. Won't this erase all my data from iTunes?

Message reads: the required software is not installed. Remove iTunes and re-install. I have a pc with Windows XP. If I re-install iTunes, won't this erase all of my data from iTunes?

No, reinstalling iTunes will not remove iTunes data. See: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925

HT4137 Will doing this erase old text messages? If so, is there any way to avoid losing them?

I just looked read iOS: How to back up your data and set up as a new device. I've been having a few bugs, but do not want to lose my old text messages. Will setting up as a new device and then syncing erase old text messages? If so, is there any way to avoid losing them?

You will not lose text message, if you back up your phone correctly and then restore from that backup. If your going to restore your phone as new and not from backup, then your text will not be there until you decide to restore from that backup.
If you don't want to lose the message, take a look in the app store to see if you can transfer to your computer.

Does client copy erase all the data in the target client or?

hi

It depends upon the profile you use for the client copy.
if you use SAP_ALL
All data is deleted from target client and source client data is copied.
and therefore you shall see the profiles and understand them .
SAP_ALL    All Client-Specific Data w/o Change Documents
SAP_APPL   Customizing and Application Data w/o Change Docs
SAP_APPX   SAP_APPL w/o Authorization Profiles and Roles
SAP_CUST   Customizing

My ipod is not recognized by my itunes and tells me to uninstall itunes and reinstall. will this erase all of my music?

my ipod is not recognized by my itunes and tells me to uninstall itunes and reinstall it. will this erase all of my music?

Hi braddyloopy,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you need to uninstall and reinstall iTunes, your music files should not be erased or affected in any way. It is always a good idea to back up your data before making any changes to your computer, though.
If you'd like to locate your music, this article explains how to find the files:
Where are my iTunes files located?
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1391
When you reinstall iTunes, I'd recommend using the method in this article to make sure it's reinstalled completely:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8

I am wondering if it will be a good move to install fusion 5 on my iMac. I am wondering since I did the split to run windows 7 if this means that I will have to erase all and start from the beginning

I am wondering if it will be a good move to install fusion 5 on my iMac. I am wondering since I did the split to run windows 7 if this means that I will have to erase all and start from the beginning

From what you say, I understand that you already installed Windows 7 on a second volume. Is this correct?
In that case, it doesn't make sense to use VMware Fusion unless you want to run Windows and OS X at the same time. If you do that, you will keep all your data.
If you haven't installed Windows 7 and you want to install it in VMware Fusion, you will be installing it in a virtual machine, so you won't lose anything.
I recommend you to have a look at VirtualBox first > http://www.virtualbox.org It's free and it's sufficient for most of users

Will buying mountain lion erase all my data?

I am quite interested in updating to Mountain Lion, as I have a very outdated Mac. However, I am worried that doing so will erase all my data. Also, will updating make my mac run faster? It has been working much slower recently. Its only three years old, 10.6.8. Please help!

In addition to BT's comments:
The OS X update process will stomp on your /Applications, but not on the content in /Users, which is where your login directory resides. Good backup habits are sound advice.
Even if your three-year old Mac complies with the minimum supported hardware specs, it is very unlikely that a larger, more resource hungry Mountain Lion will give you more features and run faster on your hardware.
If you wish to stay current with OS X releases, at some point, you will need to step up to a new or refurbished hardware purchase decision.

Follow these instructions. When you restore the iPod from backup as the article says your iPod will also be updated.

Forget the Pendrive stategy...
Before attempting any Major Upgrade... get yourself an External Hard Drive... and create a Bootable Clone Backup of your current Hard Drive...
By far the easiest way to make such a Backup, is to use something like
SuperDuper http://www.shirt-pocket.com/
or CCC http://www.bombich.com/
That way, should anything untoward happen during the Upgrade,
you will NOT LOSE ANYTHING.
(Get an EHD that is at least equal to your current Drive...)
Also, Check here for compatibility of 3rd party Software you may be using...
http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
You should also consider more RAM... Get the Maximum you can for your Mac...
It is important to get the Correct and Matching RAM

HT201274 This does NOT erase all personal information

This does NOT erase all personal information! I have performed this and assumed it did what it's supposed to do. IT DOES NOT. There is STILL personal info left on the device! I want to know how to completely erase the device (iPod Touch 8g).

I wondered about the same thing since I have an extra ipod I'd like to sell on eBay. I tested "Erase All Content and Settings" and can confirm Checkmate357's posting. At the very least, your AppleID remains on the device after "Erase All" and can be found by setting up the "new" ipod then going to settings / app store. I agree that this is a serious matter and it makes me wonder what else might slip through the cracks during "Erase All."
Even after signing out then repeating "Erase All," I found the device would recover my Apple ID and attempt to use it to sign into the APP store.
In a third test, I repeated above then disconnected the dock cable before pressing "start using ipod" and found my Apple ID was no longer there. I think the device may be pulling the user ID from iTunes through the dock connector. But I could be wrong.
It's my understanding that solid state media is easier to reformat and erase because you don't have to rewrite over existing files. If this is true, then this problem should be easy for Apple to remedy this, if it is indeed a problem.

HT201250 When using the installation disc to start a Mac Pro that won't start; will the 'restore from backup' option erase all the data previously stored?

When starting a Macbook Pro that has quit by using the disc that came with it, will the "restore from backup" option erase all previous data stored on the machine?

As long as the backup on your external drive is fine, it will restore your Mac to exactly how it was on the date of that particular backup, all data included. I have used it before and have retained all data from the date of the backup.

How do I transfer all the information in my iTunes on my old mac book to my new mac book pro so I can sync my devices to the new machine with erasing all the data my iPhone and iPad?

I have just bought a new mac book pro and want to use this machine as the main computer to which I will sync my iPhone and iPad.
How do I transfer the information within iTunes on my old mac book so when I connect the devices the new machine will not erase all my data?
Thank you

Copy the entire iTunes folder within the music folder on your old Mac to the music folder on your new Mac.
You can use an external hard disc for the transfer, or you can connect the computers together using Firewire Target Disc Mode as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1661

Installing iOS 5 erases all previous data

Installation of iOS 5 erased all previous data on my iPad. Help! Prior to iCloud being in the picture, where were all my photos and documents backed up?
I am attempting to locate the files which vanished upon updating to iOS 5 - hundreds of pdf files, thousands of uploaded photos, screen shots, saved photos from web, ALL GONE. So were all my acquired apps, although those have been replaced - now I can begin or attempt to reconstitute the complex folder structure (notes, notes 2, notes 3, etc.) which grew over the last few iOS iterations, from too many apps stuffed into folders with strict limitations on contents. Tedious, but possible. Re all the photos, I'm still looking for clues: Is solid state storage similar to that on disk drives – does deleted information still reside on the drive, just not on the index?
Also, post updating, I am continually being prompted to authorize my computer, even though it is, and my Apple ID is intermittently rejected as if invalid, this is causing syncing challenges.
Thanks.
Weary of chasing side effects of upgrading operating systems.

Same for me, when install was finished all was gone, but strange enough the disk space bar was indicating 14Go other and that was exactly my content "in app" without apps, photos, video and music. So this data was not accessible due to missing apps and all my photo/video/music was gone.
I had exactly the same issue last upgrade, and last time I decided to resync my media content and started to add apps one by one again, and by magic almost all the apps managed to find back their data in the 14Go "other" that was still in the IPad. But I had to redo a lot of work like Icon position, some settings, and some apps didn't restore well. Took me a very long time and effort to get back to a nominal situation.
So this time I deciced instead to click "Restore" before doing any sync and used the backup that was generated automaticly just before the upgrade to 5.0 (so still with version 4 of ths IOS)
The process started, the Ipad rebooted and firmware was then loaded again (still 5.0) and the 14Go data from the backup was reloaded also, and this time after this quite long step, itunes started to restore apps, music, photos and videos one by one ... was quite a very long process but at the end all was perfect, storage was back to 40 Go including my 14Go data and all photos, videos and apps, with all setting perfectly restored.
Hope this help,
Patrick

I have a new mac book, I have loaded all my old data on it via time machine. I want to now erase all that data so it is back to a new data free computer. it has yosemite, how do I remove all the data???

I want to erase all the data I loaded onto my new macbook pro yosemite. I want to have it cleaned of all the data photos etc I have loaded so it is like a new computer again. I already have all this data on a hard drive so I don't need to back the data up.???

Install or Reinstall OS X from Scratch
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Erase the hard drive:
1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
2. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the
      left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
3. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on
      the Security button and set the Zero Data option to one-pass. Click on
      the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall OS X: Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Install button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
           because it is three times faster than wireless.
