Hi all,
So, my dilemma is rather specific, and from what I have searched on these forums and on the web in general, I'm not getting this exact answer, so I thought I'd see what you all had to say.
I want to re-format my Macbook because it has been running slow and I haven't done it for a year (and I want to re-organize all my files, so I like to start with a tabula rasa, if you will). I also own an iPhone (3GS) that's Jailbroken, and I would like to un-jailbreak it (which is easily done through restore, I believe) and get it formated and set-up right with my formatted Macbook.
The problem I'm running into is this: how the heck am I supposed to reformat without losing some sort of data from my iPhone? The main thing I'm concerned about with my iPhone is the texts I have on there, all of which I'd like to keep.
Say I went home and re-formatted my iPhone first, and backed it up during the re-format and then re-loaded the backup (obviously un-jailbroken). Would I be able to locate the iPhone backup and would I be able to backup iTunes when I reformatted the Macbook?
So, essentially, how do I reformat both the laptop and the phone without losing any information from iTunes or the phone itself.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
