Nothing should be lost... However...
It is both Prudent and Recommended to Backup Before any Update or Upgrade.

  • HT4559 Will I lose my apps when I update my iPad software from 4.3.2 to ios5?

    I cannot join the cloud until I update my software but there is a warning about losing apps, etc, for versions less than 4.3.3 when updating to ios5.  Anyone know more about this?

    You backup to iTunes. You have to use your computer in order to update so I assume that you are using iTunes.
    What you should do anytime that you update the device is to transfer purchases from the iPad into iTunes - File>Transfer Purchases - and you should backup the iPad as well. When you update the update the device, if something goes wrong, you can restore from the backup.
    However, iTunes should ask if you want to backup before you update, but just in case create the backup yourself before you update. The backup contains your app data and settings - along with other items - so make sure you backup first.
    If you have any other important files, you may want to transfer them to your computer as well, prior to the update.
    Transfer purchases.

  • Will i lose my data after re-installing my iphone ?

    Last night i updated my iphone and i was unaware that its not a Factory Unlock cellphone. Now my iphone got locked. Will i lose my data if i re-install ios or can i restore my data after re-installing ? Please help as i dont wana lose my data. 2nd i dont have backup of my data too

    If there was a backup created prior to doing the update this will be available to you after the update .
    If you did not backup the data to itunes, there may have been a back up created in icloud.
    Without a created back up from either icloud or itunes your data will be lost.

  • If I update my 4th gen ipod to the iOS 5, will I lose the data on my apps?

    If I update my 4th gen ipod to the iOS 5, will I lose the data on my apps?

    If everthing goes as planned, your app date wil be restored to the iPod. To help guard againste a possible mishap. sync (iTunes also creates a backup) the iPod before the udate and caopy the backup file to a save location in case something happens.  The backup is located here:
    Where iTunes backups are stored on your computer
    The folder where your backup data are stored varies depending on the computer's operating system. Make sure the backup folder is included in your periodic data-backup routine.
    iTunes places the backup files in the following places:
    Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
    Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\

    will i lose any data on my iphone if i didnt update it

    Until you do update, Apple will hire a high school girls clique to follow you around, make fun of you & post disparaging comments on Facebook .

  • Will I lose my photos when upgrading iPhoto after updating to Mavericks?

    I recently upgraded to Mavericks and can't access iPhoto and need to upgrade. I currently have 9.3 but I did not back up my library. Will I lose my photos when I upgrade?

    For this you can simply make a copy on the internal drive if you have space - that is enough for an upgrade - but you must have a large external drive and have a continuing backup system if your photos have any value at all to you  - Time Machine is a good start

  • HT1296 was using my daughters itunes account and now have my own. If I "erase and sync" will I lose my data from my purchased games? I have transferred apps and backed up to my computer.

    was using my daughters itunes account and now have my own. If I "erase and sync" will I lose my data from my purchased games? I have transferred apps and backed up to my computer.

    One computer iTunes can support multiple Apple IDs.  One iPod can also support multiple IDs.  Don't do an "erase and sync."  Simply add your Apple ID to the computer's iTunes and to the iPod.  The only nuisance is app updating, especially if you do the updates from the computer, rather than from the iPod.

  • HT1657 2 rented movies disappeared before due date when I updated my ipad software

    2 rented movies disappeared before due date when I updated my ipad softawre.  Any way to get them back?

    You will need to try contacting iTunes support and explain and see if they will grant you a re-download : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then probably Purchases, Billing & Redemption

  • If I restore my iPad will I lose my data plan?

    I am planning to back up my iPad and restore it to lend to a friend for a week. I'm gonna buy a data plan for him, but when I restore from the backup will I lose my data plan

    If you restore your iPad, everything will be deleted but your data plan won't be modified. You will keep it because it has nothing to do with the iPad

  • I changed my Apple ID but my iCloud didn't change to the new ID. If I delete the old iCloud will I lose all data on my iPod ?

    I changed my Apple ID but my iCloud didn't change to the new ID. If I delete the old iCloud will I lose all data on my iPod ?

    - Go to Settings>iCloud. Scroll to to bottom of the screen and tap the delete button. The effect all the services listed in Settings>iCloud like Notes, Contact and Calendar.
    - You may be offered the option to retain that data on the iPod. Otherwise it gets deleted.
    It does not effect synced media like apps and music purchased with the account..
    Note that purchases made with an Apple ID are locked to the ID that purchased them. To update apps you have to sing into the account that purchased them

    You should have your data backed up off the computer regardless because even though a OS X upgrade doesn't affect users files, something could go wrong and the only way to fix it would be to erase everything and reinstall from scratch.
    And like Neil said, removing OS X itself involves erasing the entire drive or partition and that of course removes programs and files in the process as OS X manages everything.
    If your having a problem, there is the #8 Reinstall Just OS X, and this doesn't really erase it, but overwrites the present copy with older one from the 10.6 disk, then you use Software Update under the Apple menu to get back to 10.6.8.
    But you should grab a copy of your files off the machine first if possible, because you might be having drive issues.

    My iPad will not come on. When I updated the settings, I did not plug it into the outlet. What do I need to do to get it to come on?

    First try a Reset  ( No Data will be Lost )
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least Ten seconds... (But can take Longer)... until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons
    If no joy... Try a Restore...
    1: Connect the device to Your computer and open iTunes.
    2: If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane.

  • Will I lose my library when I remove Itunes to install the new program

    Will I lose my library when I delete the old version of ITunes to install the new program ?

    No, though you should back up your library anyway. See this User Tip for a backup strategy.
    You don't need to uninstall your current copy of iTunes to upgrade to a new build.

  • I'm using aperture 3 and mobile me to set up galleries which I send to friends. My question. Will icloud allow me to do the same or will i lose this function when mobile me closes down in July.

    I'm using aperture 3/mobile me to set up photo galleries which I send to friends. My question. Will icloud allow me to do the same or will I lose this function when mobile me closes down in July. If this function isn't part of icloud does anybody have any suggestions how I can do this in future through aperature. Thank you 

    You will have to find a new hosting service for your galleries, when MM is gone; but you will still be able to create the galleries with Aperture. Export them to your disk and upload them via FTP to your new hosting service.

  • HT1212 If I never synced to itunes and I restore the device. Will I lose unstored data? How can I check to see the last time my phone was backed up if I forgot the passcode to my phone?

    If I never synced to itunes and I restore the device. Will I lose unstored data? How can I check to see the last time my phone was backed up if I forgot the passcode to my phone?

    If you can't remember your passcode, you'll need to restore your phone.  If you never synched to iTunes, all data on your phone will be erased.  No way around this.
