Do i lose all data when upgrading to Yosemite

Do i lose my data if i upgrade to yosemite from Mavericks or is it like a simple update?

The update should be pretty straight forward. It also depends on some luck, so you might want to have your stuff backed up.

  • TS1702 I lost all my data when upgrading my iPad to iOs5.  App Store doesn't recognize that I already purchased pages.  What can I do other than repurchasing?

    I lost all my data when upgrading my iPad to iOs5.  App Store doesn't recognize that I already purchased pages.  What can I do other than repurchasing?

    It shows "You do not have any purchased apps available to download"  Can I show apple the credit card receipts for apps purchased from them?  How would I find any previous account login info?

    Will I lose my data when I update to ios 7 on my ipad2? If so, what data and what should I do?

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

    telling me to buy a new router is NOT a solution.
    And why not? Apple is selling these things like BigMacs. They can't make enough of them. You've been suffering since May because you refuse to get a decent router.
    Can you imagine if a company that makes a refrigerator told me that I needed to upgrade my electrical system to rectify a problem with their device? What kind of response IS that?!?!
    What if the problem with their device is that it requires a new-fangled "grounded" outlet and your circa 1890 house doesn't have grounded outlets. Would you refuse to purchase a $ 25 adapter on principle?

  • I have multiple devices backed up to the same computer each with different data. how do i keep them from syncing all data when i back up or transfer stuff from the computer to a device?

    i have multiple devices backed up to the same computer each with different data. how do i keep them from syncing all data when i back up or transfer stuff from the computer to a device? one is an iphone 6 and the others are ipad mini first gens, each ipad has 64gb and the iphone has 128, need to keep the data seperate as they are not all mine

    Itunes content and pics are NOT part of the backup that itunes performs.
    Backing up, updating, and restoring iPad, iPod touch, and iPhone software
    You should transfer any purchases from iphone regularly:  File>Transfer Purchases  , if they fail to be transferred when you sync.
    You buy one and only one download.  It is your responsibility to move/copy/backup your purchases.
    You can try contacting itunes support and asking for an exception, but they are under no obligation to allow.

  • HI, I need your help. How can I delete all data, when I do not have the special security code, which I didn´t remember ? I also think, that I never create this code before. But I cannot put my settings back.

    You must remember the code, if you can't then take the phone and proof of purchase to an Apple Store.

  • HT1212 Using the "if you have never synched with itunes" instructions, will I lose all data on the phone? That is the most important information, how to recover the data. The phone is fungible.

    Using the "if you have never synched with itunes" instructions, will I lose all data on the phone? That is the most important information, how to recover the data. The phone is fungible.

    Thanks @ KiltedTim, but losing "only" any data is really not acceptable and, in this case, the phone had not been backed up, but thanks for taking the time. Also, yes, fungible means what I think it means. An iphone is a completely substitutible commodity, unlike my data, so instructions that inform me as to how to fix a phone I could replace for a small sum of money while failing to address the more important issue of the data are almost useless - they potentially save me the $99 it would cost me to replace the phone if I were so inclined to trust another apple product. Not worth the hour it took to find them or the 35 minutes on the phone to confirm my suspicions about the data.

  • 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

  • HT5957 !I i updatedmode and recommends 'restore' but I would lose all data! Any suggestions? Apple helpline is not 'taking calls at this time'!

    I tried to update my iPad to iOS 7.0.2. and all I have now is screen asking to be connected to iTunes. Message tells me iPad is in 'recovery mode' and recommends 'restore' but that I would lose all data as this would restore factory settings. Any suggestions?
    Apple helpline is 'not taking calls at this time'!!!

    Your data is already gone.  Why did you not take regular backups of your data? Now you know why you should.

  • HT1229 What happens to photos in an album in iPhoto on Mac when upgrading to Yosemite.

    What happens to all the photos in iPhoto when upgrading to Yosemite.  My pictures are in an album to be made into a photobook with Shutterfly  or another service but it is not entirely ready to go. I would not want to loose this album, took me a long time to gather all these pictures (over 200) , edit them and write captions. I understand that Yosemite will eliminate iPhoto.  However, I want to know if they will delete iPhoto even if I do not upgrade as yet.

    Most Simple Back Up:
    Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
    Slightly more complex: Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically.
    Example of such apps: Chronosync - but there are many others. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store

  • No external; will I lose all data if I upgrade to SL?

    Greetings. I do not have an external hard drive and just purchased Snow Leopard. I have roughly 50 gb of music I do not want to lose, will upgrading to SL destroy all of my old files from Leopard? I only ask this because way back when I upgraded from Microsoft 98 to XP and recall losing everything. Thanks!

    As Neil says, no, you won't lose anything unless there's a problem.
    But you should always do a full backup before any upgrade; and you should do regular backups at all times. All hard drives fail, sooner or later. Other things break. Mistakes happen.
    Get yourself an external HD or Time Capsule and start using Time Machine or another backup app regularly. When something breaks, you may lose all your data.

  • How to avoid erasing data when upgrading my iPad if i did not remember to back up?

    When i was in the middle of upgrading my iPad 2 to iOS5, the plug came off during the time when the computer was 'restoring' iPad data. when i re-connected, there is a message saying the old files may be erased. i am concerned i will lose all my files as i am not sure if they have been backed up during the process. what should i do to proceed with the upgrading and be sure the files will remain?

    I know this is an old thread. But I have the same problem. All the songs that I have deleted on my iPad, after uploaded to iCloud, doesn't show up when turning iCloud back on. But, all the songs show up on my iPhone!!??
    And when I start a new project on my iPad, upload it to iCloud and then exit GarageBand, I can see the project when I launch GarageBand again but then it vanishes after a second. And shows up on my iPhone?!?!
    Any thoughts? Obviously the files is till in iCloud. I've reinstalled GarageBand 5 times now. Still  pathetic same issue.
