I want re-format my PC, how do I back up my itunes before I format. The same PC is also used to back-up my iPhone4

Hi all,
Hope you can help.
I have a desktop PC which I want to reformat and reinstall Windows XP because I think I have a virus on it, I have also had the PC for 5 years and never done this opperation but I feel I should now.
I have also backed up my iPhone4 on the same PC (the one Itunes library its backed up on)
1. How do I back up my itunes onto an externall hard drive
2. How do I make sure that my iPhone will re-sync with Itunes once I reinstall Itunes on the PC after the format (ie I dont want to see that message that iPhone can only sync with one iTunes library)
3. Before I format the PC do I have to de-authorise my PC?
4. Once I reinstall windows XP and iTunes how do I make sure the my iPhone will recognise the itunes library so everything will sync again (ie. music, all, movies purchased items etc
5. Basically I want to reformat my PC and when I reconnect my iPhon/e it will be the same as before.
6. Are there certain files within the iTune folder that I need to vack-up
Hope somebody can help, as im a novice with Itunes and Apple based softwear.
Thank you in advance

Backup the library with this User Tip.
Deauthorize the old computer as you no longer want to access protected content on it.
Restore the backup to your new/rebuilt computer using the same tool used to back it up, ideally before installing iTunes.
Keep your backup up-to-date in future.

Use the PC to reformat the drive.

How do I get my iPhone iTunes account to be the same as my computer iTunes account?

I had to change my email on my iTunes account because I deleted the old email. I changed it on my computer and now my iTunes account on my computer is the correct email. I thought that if I synced my iPhone to my computer, it would change the account on my iPhone, but it didnt. How do I change the account?

How to keep all text and formats the same on multiple computers?

I'm creating a file in InDesign CS6 on my Windows computer. I keep everything on my flash drive. When I go to school, I bring my flash drive with me and open it up on the Mac computer, but then there are are compatibility issues. There seems to be missing fonts and formats but the school uses the same version of InDesign I do. Now I was told a lot of things of how to keep the fonts and formats the same (embed the links, package the files, outline the text, save as IDML). However, it is not clear to me what each of those options do, so I don't know when or why to use them. So I just want to make sure that when I bring in my file in next Monday, I won't have any missing fonts or formats. What would you suggest is the proper things to do to keep everything the same on multiple computers? And could you please explain why?

If you want cross-paltform comaptibility limit the fonts to OpenType or Windows TrueType formats, both of which work on both Mac and PC. To avoid missing font warnings the fonts must either be installed on each computer, or they must be in a folder named Document Fonts in the same location as the .indd file they are to work with. Packaging the file will build taht folder for you.
the rest of the stuff in your list won't help you. .idml would allow you to open on an older version, but does nothing for your situation. Embedding the links will keep you from having missing links, but so will packaging, and embedded links will make the file much larger and harder to work with.
For goodness sake, don't even think about outlining the text. It stops being text when you do that and you can no longer edit it.
And finally. do yourself a big favor and don't attempt to actually work on your file directly from the flash drive. Copy the whole package folder to the hard drive, work on it, then copy back. You don't want to know how many files are fatally damaged by write errors on flash drives.

Windows 8 installer doesn't want to format the boot camp partition

Hello,
I followed this instructions : http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/45898/how-to-install-windows-8-on-a-mac
All works but the installer doesn't want to format the boot camp partition, i click on "option" > "format", i wait like 3-4 seconds (so not enought to format 100Go) and then same error "Windows can't be installed on this partition".
Any idea ?
I have :
Macbook Pro 15'' 2,4 GHz Intel Core i5
Mac OS X v10.7.5
1 Drive : 320Go
1 USB KEY that i used to install osx lion, so i think it's not the problem.
1 Windows8 64 downloaded from my university, and it works on a PC.

I have the same issue. Dec. 2013 13" macbook pro with 1tb ssd. Windows 8 Pro (have the box/cd).
Why is it that I can find every computer problem I ever have in a thread somewhere where someone else had the same problem too....but the threads never have solutions. There should be a name for this phenomenon.

I want to transfer data through the serial port in the same coding that hyperterminal uses. How can i do it?

The serial port seems to be working, and labview seems to be sending the data, but the problem is in which format does it send the data, because in hyperterminal i just input the string "JDX" and it sends it to my device, with labview it sends something but my device does not recognize it.

Hyperterminal adds the carriage return/line feed to the string which is
generated by the return key to send out the current line. LabVIEW simply
sends out what you tell it, so try to set the string to "Show \ Display"
format and add a \r or \n or \r\n to the command you want to send out.
Assumes of course that you set the right baudr
ate/bits/parity etc in
LabVIEW with the VISA property node, when opening the serial port.

I don't know what happened. All of a sudden, my settings have been changed, my homepage, and EVERYTHING. No matter how many times I go in and change them again, the SAME pages open up when I start FireFox and I am constantly being asked if I want Yahoo as my start page and default search engine. I click the box 'do not ask me again' and it comes up EVERY TIME. I change things like I don't want history remembered, and when I reload FireFox again, it's back to the way it was BEFORE. EVERY SINGLE TIME. I don't know why this is happening, or how to fix it. What do I do??

I do not want to download another virus program.. I do not believe it is a virus. I am running the full version of Norton 360 and it is doing a daily scan. I have Windows 7, 64 bit OS.
This is very irritating !! If I wanted Yahoo I would ask for it !

HT201269 Hi. I have shared an Apple ID with my children for some time. As they are getting older they do not wnat me seeing all their messages, photos etc so want their own accounts. How can they access their purchased music and apps on the new account

Hi. I have shared an Apple ID with my children for some time. As they are getting older they do not wnat me seeing all their messages, photos etc so want their own accounts. How can they access their purchased music and apps on the new account please?

Yes.
On their iOS devices, under Settings>iTunes & App Store, they should use your Apple ID. When they log into iCloud, iMessage and Facetime, they should use their personal Apple IDs.

I stopped using iCloud after another family member received all my contacts. Now I want to restart using iCloud. How do I prevent this happening again? We share the same Apple id password and credit card but different usernames.

If two of you shared the same contacts you were logged in with the same Apple ID. In order to avoid this you need to use different Apple IDs, and be using separate Macs or separate user accounts on the same Mac.
One or other of you should create a new Apple ID at http://appleid.apple.com for which you will need a non-Apple email address which hasn't been associated with another Apple ID.

How do I copy a document from pages into email (not pdf) and have color and format the same as the document created in pages?

How do I copy an entire document from pages into email (not pdf) and have color and format the same as the document created in pages?

Pages ’09 v4.3 and Pages v5.2.2 are entirely different document architectures. Consequently, copying and pasting a table from Pages ’09 circumvents the customary translation process that would occur if you opened that Pages ’09 document in Pages v5.
Make a backup copy of the Pages ’09 document that has the table in it, and then open this document in Pages v5.2.2. The table is translated into Pages v5 document format and displayed correctly. You can even select this Pages v5.2.2 table, and then copy/paste it into another Pages v5.2.2 document with accurate results.

Hello, I just want to formate the computer and start fresh??

Hello, I just want to formate the computer and start fresh??

NavarroSergio,
since you have a Late 2011 model, you can use OS X Internet Recovery to start fresh.
First, you’ll need to completely erase your internal disk. Boot your MacBook Pro into Recovery mode by holding down a Command key and the R key as it starts up. Once the Mac OS X Utilities menu appears, select Disk Utility. On the left-hand side of the Disk Utility window, select your internal disk (typically the first item in the list). On the right-hand side, click on the Erase tab. In the Format dropdown menu, select “Mac OS Extended (Journaled)”; in the Name textbox, enter a name for the reformatted volume (“Macintosh HD” is typical). Press the Erase… button, and erase your disk. When the erasure is completed, exit Disk Utility and select Shutdown from the Apple menu.
The next time that you start up, OS X Internet Recovery will download your MacBook Pro’s original version of OS X (either 10.7.2 or 10.7.3) from Apple’s servers, and then install it. When it finishes, you’ll again see the welcome video just like when you first got it. Fill in your relevant information as you did the first time, and when you log in for the first time, run Software Update to get back to 10.7.5.

Mac OS X Boot failure... I cant Repair HDD with OS Disk,Shows Repair Failed. I cant backup my files from HDD. Backup failed. But I need my all datas from HDD. I dont want to format. Cant enter safemode also. anything else..

I installed XP @Bootcamp, I cant access my Mac HDD via XP..
What I do??? Please help me.. please...

You can try DiskWarrior (about $100).
If that doesn't work, and if you have no backups at all, you might need to send your hard drive to Drive Savers or a similar service. It will cost a lot of money to get the data back, I'm sorry to say.

Do you perhaps have more than one Apple ID? If your response is "No," are you absolutely positive?

How can I create multiple versions of a video within the same project?

OK...this is a probably a very basic question but I'm not sure how to word it clearly.
How can I create multiple versions of a video within the same project? What I mean is that I have a bout 50 minutes of video and I want to make two DVDs using different clips from this original 50 minutes of footage. It would be a real pain to have to re-import the video AGAIN for the second DVD. I suppose I could drop anything I don't want to burn to DVD back into the clips pane but that would wipe out all my transitions wouldn't it? I want to save each project in their “raw” form so I can burn additional DVDs later otherwise I would just do them one at a time and not care about one of them being destroyed.
Wow...that was a mess. Does anyone understand what the heck I’m asking? I hope so.

How can I create multiple versions of a video within the same project?
You can't. You make separate projects using the same or different clips, segments, transitions, titles, etc. You can even duplicate the first project and then modify/make the desired changes in the duplicated project. Each project can then be burned as a different DVD or as different titles on the same DVD if there is enough room.

How can I do to acquire and save date in the same time and in the same file when I run continual my VI without interruption.

I've attached a VI that I am using to acquire amplitude from Spectrum analyzerse. I tried to connect amplitude ouput to the VI Write Characters To File.vi and Write to Spreadsheet File.vi. Unfortunately when I run continual this VI without interruption, labview ask me many time to enter a new file name to save a new value.
So, How can I do to aquire and save date in the same time and in the same file when I run continual my VI for example during 10 min.
Thank you in advance.

Hi,
Your VI does work perfectly. Unfortunately this not what I want to do. I've made error in my last comment. I am so sorry for this.
So I explain to you again what I want to do exactly. I want to acquire amplitude along road by my vehicle. I want to use wheel signal coming from vehicle to measure distance along road. Then I acquire 1 amplitude each 60 inches from spectrum analyzer.
I acquire from PC parallel port a coded wheel signal coming from vehicle (each period of the signal corresponds to 12 Inches). Figure attached shows the numeric signal coming from vehicle, and the corresponding values “120” and “88” that I can read from In Port vi.
So I want to acquire 1 time amplitude from spectrum analyser each 5
period of the signal that I am acquiring from parallel port.
So fist I have to find how can I count the number of period from reading the values “120” and “88” that I am acquiring from In Port (I don’t know the way to count a number of period from reading values “120” and “88”).
Here is a new algorithm.
1) i=0 (counter: number of period)
2) I read value from In Port
3) If I acquire a period
i= i+1 (another period)
4) If i is multiple of 5 (If I read 5 period)
acquire 1 time amplitude and write to the same
file this amplitude and the corresponding distance
Distance = 12*i). Remember each period of signal
Corresponds to 12 Inches).i has to take these
values: 5,10,15,20,25,35,40,45,50,55,60............
5) Back to 2 if not stop.
Thank you very much for helping me.
