I had a complete HD failure on my PC and needed to replace it and was followed up with a clean re-install of windows XP pro. My iTunes program was on it and I assumed that when I re-installed the Itunes and synced my phone that the content from my phone would be put into the library of the program and restore all my settings, content and such.
This has not been the case and I tried to back up my phone and sync it but I get a message that says It will erase my phone and contents if I proceed.
What am I doing wrong? Please tell me APPLE thought ahead as to what a person would do in such an instance?
I forgot to mention....It did re-install my apps to the Itunes but not my podcasts when I re-synced those. It erased all traces of the podcasts and did not show anything of them in the program. I did not attempt to resyn my music as I do not have back ups of most of it in another computer or folder and would almost have to start from scratch.
Why does it tell me it is backing up my phone if it is pointless?
Thanks to all who reply.
