Iphone sync after re-installing windows XP

Hello and thank you in advance for any help. I've searched the community and found similar questions but not exactly what I'm looking for.
My only computer is an old Dell that runs windows XP SP2. I am planning on reformatting the hard drive and re-installing windows once I get this question resolved, ideally today.
I have backed up all of the "my documents" folder to my external drive. That includes the iTunes folder, but I also permanently keep a lot of my iTunes library on the external because my PC's hard drive is very small
I have the new iOS and regularly back up to iCloud
I understand the advice is generally to back up your itunes library.
-How much of the iPhone's data is backed up in that process?
-How do I retrieve that data once I've reformatted?
-What steps do I need to take to make sure that data is retrievable via the external hard drive?
I'm most concerned about all the apps, bookmarks, settings, application data, text messages, etc.
I just want my phone to be normal and able to sync with as little headache as possible.
Thanks so much!

Being a little more specific and succinct I suppose I could have just said:
What do I need to do before and after a windows reinstall so that I can be able to sync my iPhone again without losing any data or after to reinstall apps, etc?
Thanks

IPhone sync after freshly installing Leopard

So today I finally got Leopard in. So I decided to back up all my photos and music on my iPhone and just sync it back into iTunes and iPhoto after I install a fresh copy of Leopard on my computer. So I tried to sync my iPhone to iTunes AFTER I authorized the computer and it only transfered over my "purchased" songs. I want to transfer all my songs (including many mp3's) and my photos as well. What am I doing wrong? Am I missing something?
Also, everytime I try to sync it it tells me that this iPhoto is synced with another library...but that library was completed deleted when I erased my disk to install a fresh copy of Leopard.
Ideas???

I like how sure everyone is that you can't transfer your photos, videos and pictures from your iPhone to your computer. Don't listen to them. Just do a google search on transfering stuff from iPhone to your computer and you'll see some programs, like Tansee iPhone Copy Pack 1.0, you can download. You can probably find one that has a 30 day trial period which should be enough time to get all your stuff back on your computer.

Hello, Pete.
Here is an article I would recommend going through when an iPod is not recognized by iTunes or the computer.

Usually the resolution is updating the Apple Mobile Device Driver. See the section labeled Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed > For Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8 > Update the Apple Mobile Device Driver.

How can I set to boot from MAC OS by default after I installed Windows?

How can I choose to boot from MAC OS by default after I installed Windows? I have a MacBook Pro Leo 10.6.8. I used bootcamp to install Windows XP SP2, but now if I don't press the option key it will start up with Windows, and I don't want that. Thanks for any help.

Select it in the Startup Disk pane of System Preferences.

Third-party NTFS software interferes with the Apple NTFS drivers, which control whether you can see the Bootcamp partition in the Startup Disk option. As a test, can you uninstall all third-party NTFS software and check System Preferences -> Startup Disk?

Mac OS X Leopard installation disc after I install Windows Vista

Hi everyone! Do I need to put my Mac OS X Leopard installation disc after I install Windows Vista? I try to run the windows without install Mac-specific driver for windows but it restarted and back to Mac OS. The frustrated thing is I did not bring my Mac OS with me. Anyone has any solution? Or how can i request a installation disk from Apple? Thank you!

Yes you will need to install the apple drivers for win vista. When you boot from a cold start, have you tried holding down the option key to choose which OS to boot from? If you have then, you could try going into startup options from the mac side and choose win vista if it appears. That could be risky though, as you mentioned you do not have the mac install disk. If problems arise you may need the mac install disk to undo the changes.

Beats audio software missing after I installed windows 8.1

Beats audio software missing after I installed windows 8.1
my laptop: HP pavilion p011sv

Hi @Boukou ,
Thank you for your inquiry.
I understand that after updating to Windows 8.1 you no longer have the Beats Audio software.
You should be able to download an updated audio driver from HP Pavilion 15-p011sv Software & Drivers page .
This should reinstall your Beats software.
Good Luck!

After clean installing Windows 7, I can't use SYNC to restore old profile. Is it lost? Is it not also stored on firefox server/online?

I installed windows 7 pro.
When i installed Firefox, i was hoping for signing in using my profile email and using SYNC to get saved passwords and bookmarks.
Is it possible?
I've entered my profile login and sync has not retrieved anything from my login details. I thought it was stored online as well???

In technical support, sometimes you have to make educated guesses. I'm sorry that you were offended.
iTunes does prompt when it is going to erase a device, and the message is clear.
She said in her message that she was able to successfully sync the old ipad. This indicated to me that itunes wiping the data was not an issue, because either it had been setup at the apple store (in which case it doesn't actually wipe the ipad despite saying it will*) (*based on a single case I saw), or because the itunes media folder was migrated.
Furthermore, my solution was to tell her how to backup her ipad (by either doing it manually, or as a last resort, by deleting the corrupt backup -- that she couldn't access anyway.)
I got that last part of the instructions from the "Taking Control of your iphone" book which I found samples of when I did a google search for "corrupted backup itunes".
She marked this as a solution, so it worked for her.

Syncing to fresh install Windows and Itunes

Recently I just re-install windows 7 and itunes, how can I resync the items on my Iphone 4 back to my computer?

Honestly, you do not.
Syncing between computer and iDevice is one way, you cannot sync content from the iDevice to the computer.
The best option is to restore your media and other important files from the backup you keep of your computer.
If you do not have a backup, that is not good.
Connect the iDevice to the computer, do not sync.
From iTunes select File > Transfer Purchases.
It is very likely that you will end up losing much of your content this way, but that is what happens when there is not a backup.

Some issues after clean installing windows 7 pro 64bit

Hi,
I have a couple of issues, I clean installed windows 7 pro, 64bit, (vanilla) restored my license with ABR and used system update to download all the drivers. (no issues until here) But after restarting the system, I found this issues:
1. I have to put the bios in legacy mode for system to boot. Otherwise it gives me a "no operating system found" message. Is there any way to make a proper installation for the system to boot in UEFI and LEGACY?
2. System update didn't install thinkvantage center. (the program that stays in the taskbar). Should this be installed manually? Or system update should have installed it?
3*. I can not use lenovo driver page of my x120e. In IE it shows me repeatedly the wizard to choose my model, although I enter the correct info there. It starts all over again and again. Tried opera, I can see the drivers page, but I can't browse, or expand none of the sections. (all I can think of this, do I need java for the page to work?)
3*. UPDATE: After installing IE 9, java and flash player, still not working. Opera too. Google Chrome works fine. What's the matter with IE and OPERA? What component do I need to make IE work with lenovo drivers download page?
Can anyone help me? Never had to deal with these issues.
Thanks in advance

Who helped you today? Do not forget to thank him.
My hardware: TP x120e 0596-2ru. Windows 7, sp1, 64Bit, English, installed in UEFI mode.

Hello,
Have you tried wiping the hard disk drive and reinstalling Windows 7 Professional x64 from the factory recovery discs while the BIOS is set to UEFI? If so, did that work?

How Do I Change the Language of Start Menu and Modern Apps After I Installed Windows? Applying Language Pack only Localizes Traditional Applications?

Howdy,
I installed Windows 10 Technical Preview with original language settings for the US region.
No that I need my Windows localized to Espanol - Spanish.
I type "language' in Cortana, select Add language to this device and click Add a language on the Region & language.
Then I select added language and click Set as primary.
After the restart I see that while Windows Explorer is displayed in Spanish, Start menu is displayed in English (including app sections such as Explore Windows), as well as Modern apps that have retained their English names (such as Mail).
I even set the location to Spain in regional settings (although I didn't like the idea, as I want to browse the US market). To no avail.
How do I change the language of the Start menu and modern apps?
Thank you.
Well this is the world we live in And these are the hands we're given...

Okay, I ran the in-place upgrade and it worked!
What I did:
1. Downloaded and attached Espanol edition of Windows Setup ISO.
2. Started setup.exe from that ISO.
TIP: If need be, you can downgrade your installation of Windows 10 Enterprise Technical Preview to Windows 10 Pro Technical Preview by changing two registry values, EditionID and ProductName. You may use the following registry file on Windows 10 Enterprise
Technical Preview:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion]
"EditionID"="Professional"
"ProductName"="Windows 10 Pro Technical Preview"
Import these settings into registry and start setup wizard from the Windows 10 Pro Technical Preview setup CD. Voila! Windows will offer upgrade of your current setup of Windows 10 Enterprise Technical Preview to Windows 10 Pro Technical Preview with
saving all your settings and applications!
The only thing that wasn't localized are the new app sections. I still see Explore Windows and Everyday apps. Probably, these UI strings haven't yet been translated.

Partitioning HD after having installed Windows XP via Boot Camp

Okay, hope this is the right place and that what follows makes sense. Tech told me to go ahead and use Boot Camp to install XP Pro and that after doing that I could then further partition the hard drive for scratch and file-arrangement purposes.
So I got my Windows in and it works well. But when I go to Disk Utility to make partition(s)--resize, click on the "+" and so on--and then click "Apply," I get this kinda terrifying message that if I go forward I MAY NOT be able to boot into Windows. That sounds ambivalent.
So I didn't go forward for fear of losing access to Windows. But I really need at least a scratch volume for Photoshop 7.0, which I can use only in Windows at the moment. (That's why I installed Windows.)
Now I can't partition? Or can I go ahead? I'm asking before making a mess here. Thanks to any for assistance.
