1348842 2013-07-14 00:54:00 Hi All,

Just formatted my PC and just got Itunes installed, can someone help me to get all the apps backed up to my computer? Am to afraid am doing something wrong and everything is gone! Anyone?

1348843 2013-07-14 00:58:00 Dunno what happened to my story but, just formatted my computer, ITUNES had to be re installed, I have signed in under my username but my library is empty. How to safely back up the Ipad without apps disappearing? mark1978 (13845)
1348844 2013-07-14 01:25:00 Did you do a backup of your My music folder before formatting? ronyville (10611)
1348845 2013-07-14 01:33:00 hi ronyville

Yes there is a back up on my D drive, its my Itunes media folder and has some purchased apps in there

1348846 2013-07-14 01:36:00 OK.. when yo connect the ipad to the PC, and on the itunes, under the iPad section, it there should be a option to say backup. Not talking about syncing the iPad to itunes. ronyville (10611)
1348847 2013-07-14 01:38:00 I have seen that but doesn't do anything, if I go to books for example and tick that books need to be synced it then drains all the apps on the IPAD. lol.. mark1978 (13845)
1348848 2013-07-14 01:47:00 Yup, that's why i asked if you had done a backup. All the sync settings sit in the itunes folder. If you had a backup than copying the old itunes folder back into the music library would have kept all the sync settings as before. But looks like you might have to start from scratch here... maybe someone else may have a better solution. ronyville (10611)
1348849 2013-07-14 01:51:00 Hey thanks for that! I will have a closer look and see if I can get it done :) mark1978 (13845)
1348850 2013-07-14 12:54:00 Another thing to try, when you have the iPad connected and iTunes open, right click on the iPad in the list on the left and select transfer purchases to computer. CYaBro (73)
