That's TOTALLY NOT TRUE! None of my music was purchased from the iTunes Store, and I have many pictures from many sources, created, downloaded, taken, shared, doesn't matter, it ALL back-ups perfectly fine. Again WHO IS GIVING THIS IDIOTIC INFORMATION???? Lies!
Thanks for your input.
1. I didn’t actually lose the backups. They were on my computer. iTunes was not able to restore them.
2. The music is still on my computer, just lost it in iPad and iTunes. I can reinstall to the iPad again but have to convert all over again to AAC format.
3. Yes ads on the web pages, and occasionally one opens in a new tab. On my computer I use Firefox with addons to block the ads.
4. Perhaps it is a problem with my iTunes software. Everytime I start it I get this message “The registry settings used by the iTunes drivers for importing and burning CD’s and DVD’s are missing. This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software. Please reinstall iTunes.” I have reinstalled at least a half dozen times and I do not have other burning software on the computer.
5. Forgive me if I expected few problems with the device. I am used to twenty years of Microsoft hassles.
