Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings:  Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive.  Hold down the option (alt) key (shift on Windows) and open iTunes.  At the prompt to create or choose a library choose the copied iTunes folder.

    Apps are not backed up, app data is. Apps are already located in iTunes and thus do not need to be backed up. See this support document for information about what is backed up via iTunes.
    Are you sure about that, because when I backed up my iPad Mini w/7.0.4 and the newest iTunes, it made a 10gb Backup, which is pretty huge considering I only have a "16" Gb Slate iPad (More Like 13.5 Gb).
    When I restored it after Jailbreaking, it moved ALL of the Apps I had bought back in - A neat trick if the Apps themselves are not part of the Backup package- Because the apps had NOT been backed up into iTunes on that PC.
    iOS 6 did NOT restore my Apps, even though it did restore my folders.

  • HT1414 where does Itunes store previous backups in a Windows 8 environment

    I'm trying to restore from a previous back up and I used to be able to locate them in Vista - but I haven't been able to find all the previous backups in Windows 8

    The folder where your backup data are stored varies depending on the computer's operating system. Make sure the backup folder is included in your periodic data-backup routine.
    iTunes places the backup files in the following places:
    Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
    Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Note: To quickly access the Application Data folder, click Start, and choose Run. Type %appdata% and click OK.
    Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Note: To quickly access the AppData folder, click Start. In the search bar, type %appdata% and press the Return key.

    When i plug my phone into itunes for the ios update, it downloads but then says it cant connect to the server. How do i get my update?

    Here are Apple Steps for Error 21:
    This error typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. FollowTroubleshooting security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, these errors may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
    My additional advice:
    Also Error 21 can occur with DFU Mode Restore, try Recovery Mode Restore. Restart computer. Open iTunes on computer. Connect iPhone to computer. Hold both home and power buttons until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode. This usually takes about 20 seconds of holding both buttons. Click Restore button of iTunes.

  • Where do you get the ios update

    Where do you find the iOS update?

    iTunes will automatically get the iOS firmware for your iPhone.
    You can always download iOS from Apple directly.
    Here is the iOS 5.1.1 for iPhone 4S directly from Apple Server:

  • New iTunes, syncing, and iOS update questions!  Hot mess over here!

    I'm in a quandary and need some help. Bare with me if I forgot details.
    I moved all music to an external drive and a week later, it died.
    I got a new laptop and downloaded iTunes 9.2
    I've transfered all my purchased music and applications from the iPhone to my new iTunes.
    _*I'm getting ready for the updates and have the following questions:*_
    Some applications aren't showing up (ie. Project 365). Why would that be?
    An error message pops up when I want to "sync" my applications. Since I transfered my purchases, do I ignore?
    Do I need to sync my iPhone to my new iTunes before the iOS update?
    If I ignore the warning messages, will the iOS update delete applications?
    The iOS update has warnings. What will I lose?
    I am currently running an (3 hour!)iPhone backup.
    I swear I'm not that computer illiterate, but extraordinaryly cautious since losing everything.

    If you did not backup prior to upgrading and the cancel button is showing, do that now. You should always backup before doing an upgrade. If it asks you to sync your apps then do that. Your backup during upgrade will take hours because itunes is sending all your data to Apple instead of just internally inside your computer.

  • HT1349 Hi all,I have just purchased new iphone but have difficulty in completing the itunes download with message : problem with Windows installer package. A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected.

    Hi all,I have just purchased new iphone but have difficulty in completing the itunes download with message : problem with Windows installer package. A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected.
    Would appreciate help...its driving me up the wall!!

    Perhaps let's first try updating your Apple Software Update.
    Launch Apple Software Update ("Start > All Programs > Apple Software Update"). Does it launch and offer you a newer version of Apple Software Update? If so, choose to install just that update to Apple Software Update. (Deselect any other software offered at the same time.)
    If the ASU update goes through okay, try another iTunes install. Does it go through without the errors this time?

  • Where does iTunes 7 keep the iPod software?

    Hi All,
    I work in technical support and am a bit let down by the current embedded iPod updater in iTunes 7. This works ok except for one thing, after downloading the latest iPod updater from within iTunes 7, i want to transfer the updater to various machines. Searching the libraries came up with nada. Only once i opened up the iTunes 7 package did i find "iPodUpdater.framework" in contents. It also appears that a different updater is downloaded for each model of iPod as opposed to the old stand-alone all-in-one iPod updater. So, Where does iTunes 7 keep the iPod software? We are very bandwidth challenged in my country so it is very handy to be able to keep the latest updates on an external drive, usb disk, etc.
    While the embedded updater is nice and clever i think a bit more needs to be done, maybe put it into the Application Support Folder or something?
    Thank you in advance

    Thanx for your reply SeaBeast.
    Erm, ok maybe I'm not being clear.
    Pre iTunes7: iPod's were updated using the iPod updater application located in /Applications/Utilities. This could be downloaded as a standalone app and showed up in software updater when updating of the app was required. Easy.
    iTunes7:iPod updater is now part of iTunes. Updates are downloaded from within iTunes ( iPod model specific it seems ) and sometimes it has to be forced to update, see
    http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20060912144151766
    Where does it keep these downloaded updates?
    Does it modify the existing "iPod Updater 2006-06-28.app"?
    To my knowledge it is now seperate from this. If it was still seperate i could download it from Apple as a stand-alone but as far as i can see this is no longer the case. Please help. Maybe I'm just being a ******* and missing something simple here.
    Thanx again.

  • When downloading Iphone software update (version 4.0), I get error message

    When downloading Iphone software update (version 4.0), I get error message (stopped err = -3259). Is there a solution for this???

    Did anyone solve this?
    I'm still having this issue. I also had the same issue when trying to download a large update for an app (43MB). I can download and install smaller udpates but I can't even download the large updates. I've checked all of my firewall settings and they are fine. I've turned off the firewall when trying to download the update and it still does not work. It just keeps saying that my network connection timed out.
    I'm not at the stage where I can't install new apps because it requires the latest OS version on my iphone which I can't get!
