Again, I have no thank you button but consider this post as such. (Why don't newbies have a thank you button?)

I am facing this in a few days when my laptop computer comes back from a motherboard replacement from the factory.

Unfortunately, I did not have this info BEFORE I wiped the drive and sent it in.

I did backup my Pictures folder and my Music folder (so I think the iTunes folder should be included in that), and I also did a sync before wiping the drive. (I sync with Outlook, so I'm not concerned about losing that stuff. I can resync it.)

I didn't know about the "C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Roaming\AppleComputer\M obileSync\Backup" part, though.

What concerns me are the videos and the apps. From what I have read lately, the apps can be redownloaded at no charge if it comes to that, so perhaps all I'll lose is a $15 movie...unless it doesn't remove it from the phone when I sync. Do you know what it will do with that? Maybe I should set aside a couple of hours to watch the movie before it goes poof.

Anyway. Thanks for the info--very useful stuff!
