Joe, I have not said I wanted to download Flash Player. Just the reverse, they tell me I need to update when I don't even have it.

Now when you say not to use anything from my back up which makes sense but what about apps that I purchased from the App Store and developers which are on my HD?

Should copy them to a thumb drive?

Never having erased my HD before, can you tell me if I will lose anything from the following, apple mail, bookmarks, iTunes, iPhotos, docs or anything else I should know about?

Thanks in advance,

jaybass
