Install IOS 6 OTA and keep apps?

According to the litterature it is possible to install the new IOS 6 into my IPhone 4 by downloading it Over-The-Air directly into the IPhone and then go through the install procedure.
I have never synced my IPhone with my IMAC. I purchase my apps directly from the IPhone, never via ITunes on the IMAC.
So if I install IOS 6 directly OTA, will I still have all my apps/files in my IPhone, or will I have a brand-new and empty phone?
I cannot imagine the amount of work (and I do not know the procedure) necessary to sync the phone with ITunes, so if I were to lose my apps and files, I prefer not to upgrade to version 6.
So do I get an empty Iphone, or will I keep my apps?
Your advice would be appreciated.

I have not heard of your problem before.
Try:
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.

  • Installed iOS 8.2 and now apps will not update

    Tap Update, the circle shows up momentarily and then the update icon shows back up

    Based on the numerous posts regarding iTunes and the App Store, there appears to be an issue at Apple's end. Although Apple has not provided any indication on the cloud status page.
    Do not change your settings.

    Start your '''Computer''' in safe mode. Then start Firefox. Try '''Safe''' web sites.
    Starting The Computer In Safe Mode;
    If running, turn your computer off.
    Remove any disks and thumb drives that are in your hard drives or ports.
    Now start your computer but also;
    '''Windows; '''Press the <F8> key repeatedly.
    '''Mac: '''Hold down the Shift key.
    '''Linux; '''Using the command line, Linux/Unix computers can be booted
    into various run levels that determine which resources are loaded.
    For example, "runlevel 1" is typically the equivalent to Windows and
    Mac safe modes.

    When the '''Boot''' menu is displayed, release the key you were pressing.
    You must now choose what mode to use. The most used are;
    * Safe Mode; The computer runs with only a minimum set of programs.
    * Safe Mode '''With '''Networking; Same as above, but with internet access.

  • IOS 8.3 and Appstore App Hiding issue

    ever since I installed iOS 8.3 (DFU CLEAN NO RESTORE) I've had TONS of issues that I hadn't encountered in previous iOS updates... The most frustrating one is the ability to HIDE my purchased apps from the phone isn't working... I can slide to get HIDE to show, but no sooner I leave the app... force close... reopen to check... they're still there... I use Tapjoy so I'm always installing junk apps I'll never use for points...
    anyone found this to be an issue and if so how did you fix it???
    I have an iPhone 6 Plus btw with a DFU install of 12F70
    thanks and any insight will help...

    I have the same exactly issue with the App Store. It seems like it can't connect and there's just a blank screen. However, I can update apps just fine.

    Problem with Photoshop Express IOS 8.02 - I recently installed IOS 8.02 on my iPad Air and Photoshop Express cannot access my full library of images. Also, when opening the app, I'm not given the option of selecting "Open from Adobe Revel", "Take a Picture" or "Open from Camera Roll".......I am taken directly to a small selection of images. The only images that show up are the saved photos previously adjusted through Photoshop Express. I also updated my iPhone 5s with IOS 8.02 and Photoshop Express works perfectly on the iPhone with all images in my library visible.
    What could be the problem?

    Yes, the Old Master file has a folder for each year where I find all photos from that specific year. I am attaching a screen shot of the file.
    In the meantime i have managed to download all photos (it did not download any video files though in mpg, avi, 3gp, m4v,mp4 and mov format) to a new iphoto library. Unfortunately the photos are quite mixed and often doubled up. I ma considering to purchase iphoto library which checks all duplicates in iphoto. this will save me a lot of time. What do you think?

  • Keep trying to install update for itunes and keep getting 'invalid signature'

    keep trying to install the new updates for itunes and keep getting 'invalid signature' and it won't download

    That suggests that the installer is getting damaged during the download.
    I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?
