that agonises me so much deleting if synced
Not with thr first computer they used with?
Facing to chose betwen erasing or not replacing the music in my shufle
And future erasing of my ipad if ill want to back it up to pc
Becouse of this evil evil evil detail that itunes decided to put is horifing!
I want to move back to non apple becouse of that
Does all the content on ipad is backedup to itunes
Or to folders on my pc
If i dont have mac with same software
My computer is old and it will crash again
Or i will cjose not to format it now
In a year i will buy a new one and it will erase my ipad!

Okay then ~ I am sorry your are experiencing whatever you are experiencing. What is that exactly?

If you create a bootable cloned back up of your computers hard drive on an Ext HD then you will never have any problems, you can boot the back up from any computer and always have access to all the correct iTunes files.

If you don't have a back up then, TBH, you are sitting on a time bomb, even if you didn't have an iPad, iPod, etc.
