Changing syncing PC - will I lose photos and other data?

I have been syncing my wife's 3GS to my iPhone account. And, because of iCloud she also gets copies of, for example, my photos.
Question: if I shift the phone to her PC and iTunes account, will she lose her photos , contacts etc?
I don't want to find out by trial and error!
Thank you.

She will lose all music and apps that are not in her iTunes library. So she should copy them from your computer to hers. Easy with iTunes Home Sharing if they are on the same network. Before syncing you should back up the phone on her computer. To do this FIRST go to iTunes Preferences, Devices tab, and check the box to NOT sync automatically when the phone is connected. Then connect the phone, click on its name in iTunes, then the Backup iPhone button. You should also back up to iCloud if she doesn't already. Belt and suspenders, but you can't have too many backups. iCloud backups are done directly from the phone.

HT1766 all my contacts photos and other data is not seen in my laptop and iphone after i installed itunes in my laptop

all my photos and contacts and other data is missing after i installed itunes in my laptop and conected my iphone and updated and syncranised it

No. If you made your backup to iCloud, iTunes will not restore from an iCloud backup. See:

If I restart my I Pad, Will I lose photos and all

If I restart my I pad, will i lose my photos and everything?

No, of course not. I restart my iPad if I feel that it is warranted. Do you have some problem or issue?

If i sign out of iCloud will I lose photos and docs off my Mac?

I am in the process of changing my email address which means changing my AppleID. In 'how to change your ID' you are meant to sign out of iCloud. I get warnings that if I sign out any docs, photos etc which have not been imported will be deleted from my computer.
how do i know if they have been imported and I won't lose them?
and
is there an easy way to change your ID on your Mac? it was easy on phone
iOS X10.9.5
Cheers

They will still be in iCloud. Provided you are signing back into the same account (just with and updated email address) and not changing accounts, your data will download back to your Mac when you sign back in.
You might want to make sure your my photo stream photos are imported to iPhoto before signing out. To do this, open iPhoto, control-click on the My Photo Stream album and choose "Import". If it says "Show in Library" instead of Import, they have already been imported to your library.

Hello dancetoday07,
Let's see if we can square this away for you. With backing up your iPhone, it will back everything you have using iTunes and if you use iCloud, by default, backs up everything. After you have made a backup you can restore that to put the contents of the backup on your replacement iPhone. If you want to put certain things back on, you will at least need to export the content to your computer, like your photos and videos. If you only want to put certain things back on, then you will need to sync that over with iTunes. All the information you will need are in the articles below.

When I try to sync photos, I followed all the steps, picked one folder. When I hit "apply" I get this error message: Are you sure you want to remove 30 apps from iPad. This will delete these apps and their data from the iPad. What have I done wrong

When I try to sync photos or music, I followed all the steps, picked onle folder, not the whole library. When I hit "apply" I got this message:
Are you sure you want to remove 30 apps from iPad. This will delete these apps and their data from the iPad" What can I change to just download the photos and not interfere with the apps?
(By the way, the memory is not even one quarter full)
Thanks for your help - Pat

I have the same problem. I updated my mac to 10.5, which then had me update apps like itunes, etc. then it wanted me to sync my purchased music to my ipad before i updated the ipad...which worked ok. then when i was syncing the photos i got the same message when i hit "apply" asking are you sure you want to delete the 12 apps from the ipad - clicked "no" and brought me back to the original screen. Got the same message when trying to move them from the hard drive to the ipad. WHat is going on and how do I correct this? Thanks

I dropped my iPhone 4 in water and now it won't turn on at all, will i lose all of my data, for example my photos and messages etc? and is there any way you can back the phone up without having it switched on?

If you had previously been backing up to iCloud (or a computer with iTunes), you would possibly have a backup. That said, if you can't turn the phone on, you cannot create a backup of the device now. Sorry.

Photos does not support external editing like iPhoto. Is there likely to be an upgrade to change this or will I abandon Photos for software that does support editing in Photoshop?

iPhoto does work and there is an upgrade:
Go to the App Store and check out the Purchases List. If iPhoto is there then it will be v9.6.1
If it is there, then drag your existing iPhoto app (not the library, just the app) to the trash
Install the App from the App Store.
Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.

One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

I wan to restore my phone, will all my photos and music be lost how do i save it

If i restore my phone will all my photos and music be lost, how do I back it up?

It is in recovery mode. Anything on the phone is already gone. If you were syncing your contacts to a compatible address book on your computer or cloud service, then you'll be fine. If not, then they are gone.

Vivushka

You will not lose them and you will not be able to transfer them into iTunes. Your Kindle books are maintained in your Amazon account, not in iTunes. You manage all of your Kindle books with Amazon.com.
However, if you have never synced with iTunes before, you may need to make the iTunes library your syncing library. Have you synced with this computer before?

Will I lose photos when I upgrade to maverick

Will I lose photos when I upgrade iPhoto to maverick

No. But backup everything first.
Basic Backup
For some people Time Machine will be more than adequate. Time Machine is part of OS X. There are two components:
1. A Time Machine preferences panel as part of System Preferences;
2. A Time Machine application located in the Applications folder. It is
     used to manage backups and to restore backups. Time Machine
     requires a backup drive that is at least twice the capacity of the
     drive being backed up.
3. Time Machine requires a backup drive that is at least double the
     capacity of the drive(s) it backs up.
Alternatively, get an external drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
1. Carbon Copy Cloner
2. Get Backup
3. Deja Vu
4. SuperDuper!
5. Synk Pro
6. Tri-Backup
Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on backup and restore. Also read How to Back Up and Restore Your Files. For help with using Time Machine visit Pondini's Time Machine FAQ for help with all things Time Machine.
Although you can buy a complete external drive system, you can also put one together if you are so inclined. It's relatively easy and only requires a Phillips head screwdriver (typically.) You can purchase hard drives separately. This gives you an opportunity to shop for the best prices on a hard drive of your choice. Reliable brands include Seagate, Hitachi, Western Digital, Toshiba, and Fujitsu. You can find reviews and benchmarks on many drives at Storage Review.
Enclosures for FireWire and USB are readily available. You can find only FireWire enclosures, only USB enclosures, and enclosures that feature multiple ports. I would stress getting enclosures that use the Oxford chipsets especially for Firewire drives (911, 921, 922, for example.) You can find enclosures at places such as;
1. Cool Drives
2. OWC
3. WiebeTech
4. Firewire Direct
5. California Drives
6. NewEgg
All you need do is remove a case cover, mount the hard drive in the enclosure and connect the cables, then re-attach the case cover. Usually the only tool required is a small or medium Phillips screwdriver.

What happens when I purchase a new iPad? How Will my music, photos and information transfer? Does iCloud hold all of that, if so how do I access it?

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
When you set up iCloud on a new device, you will get photos from Photo Stream (you will have to transfer them to the device), your contacts, calendars, notes, reminders and your iCloud mail address. All of this will be done automatically by iCloud when you log in iCloud on your device.
To transfer your purchased music, see > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519 Also, if you have the music on your computer, just connect the iPad to the computer and sync it with iTunes to get your apps, movies, music...

When i go to sync my apps with my computer it tells me ''are you sure you want to sync apps ? all exsisting apps and there data on (iphone) will be replaced with the apps on this itunes library'' does this mean all my data will be lost if i continue ?

Regarding your broken, previously authorized computer, here's how that works:
You would authorize your new computer -- maybe you've done that already. Then you will have two computers authorized. Apple allows you to have up to five computers authorized at any time. If you get to five, you can then go to your account details in iTunes and remove all authorizations.
Bear in mind this is not saying you can synch to more tham one library. Razmee209 and gdgmacguy's comments above are correct. But if Apple only allowed you to authorize one computer at a time, then having a broken computer would mean you could no longer use your Apple ID with iTunes.

You don't import photos from the iPhone to your computer using iTunes.
See this -> iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
Note this only applies to photos taken with the iPhone. Any photos you previously added to your iPhone using iTunes should be copied from old computer to new computer.
