Upgrading from 10.4.11 to 10.5.6 - Will I lose any data or application?

Hi gang,
I forgot that I have a 10.5.6 family upgrade disc. I've upgraded my kid's Mac Mini and was not sure about upgrading my MacBook Pro then.
So I'm thinking I should upgrade my MacBook Pro now but I am not sure if I will lose any data or application (and application specific information). Can you folks please clarify and/or provide best way to perform the upgrade?
I use my MacBook Pro on a daily basis from office document, browsing, audio recording and editing, video editing and photo editing that I can't imagine my MacBook Pro having a problem.
I'm also hoping that with the upgrade, my Superdrive will somehow come back to life and be useful again.
Here's my MacBook Pro info:
Model Name: MacBook Pro
Model Identifier: MacBookPro3,1
Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed: 2.4 GHz
Number Of Processors: 1
Total Number Of Cores: 2
L2 Cache (per processor): 4 MB
Memory: 4 GB
Bus Speed: 800 MHz
Boot ROM Version: MBP31.0070.B07
SMC Version: 1.16f11
Sudden Motion Sensor:
State: Enabled

Unlikely.
That usually means a hardware problem. No operating system update will fix hardware problems.
I'd get it fixed by an authorized service center. If you are in the U.S. there are places that can do it cheaper if you are out of warranty:

Before doing any upgrade, backup your data*:

That way you avoid the risk of losing everything.

My daughters ipod 4th gen will no longer charge past 20% and will not connect to a pc in order to back everything up. the cable is working fine, otherwise it would not even charge to the 20%. i have tried the reset to not lose any data and no luck. help!

my daughters ipod 4th gen will no longer charge past 20% and will not connect to a pc in order to back everything up. the cable is working fine, otherwise it would not even charge to the 20%. i have tried the reset to not lose any data and no luck, home+power for 10-15 seconds. I really would like to not lose everything she has, again, because I can't back it up this time. I have tried charging via a wall outlet and PC and both charge fine, just only to 20%. I am using the cable that came with it so no aftermarket issues there. Please help so I don't have to reset everything again.

Because once it has charged enough to be powered on as soon as you turn it on it says battery is at 20% and will not charge anymore after that, it just runs for about 5-10 minutes before the battery dies again. The battery cycles discharge/recharge daily and its not on the charger at full charge for more than a couple hours and is never totally dead for more than a couple of hours.

HT4972 when I download and update to 5.1 will I lose any data on I phone or does update automatically do it for me?

Im Tryin to download IOS -5 to my iphone but I dont want to lose any data.

An update normally keeps all of your personal data on the phone so uou should be ok. Incase anything goes wrong though backup your phone on iTunes so you can easily restore it afterwards.

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 .

I want to sync my ipod touch with my new computer. But i don't want to lose any data from my apps. If i erase and sync does it only erase music and videos or does it include apps as well?

FORCE IPAD INTO RECOVERY MODE
1. Turn off iPad
2. Turn on computer and launch iTunes (make sure you have the latest version of iTune)
3. Plug USB cable into computer's USB port
4. Hold Home button down and plug the other end of cable into docking port.
DO NOT RELEASE BUTTON until you see picture of iTunes and plug
5. Release Home button.
ON COMPUTER
6. iTunes has detected iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTunes.
7. Select "Restore iPad"...
Note:
1. Data will be lost if you do not have backup
2. You must follow step 1 to step 4 VERY CLOSELY.
3. Repeat the process if necessary.

HT201559 what happens when i reset? do I lose any data?

what happens when i reset? do I lose any data? or is there any chance of losing data?

If you mean the "Press the Home and Power buttons at the same time" type of reset, then no, you do not lose anything. It's basically the same process that a computer goes through when you restart it.
You do, however, want to make sure that you always have a current backup on iCloud or iTunes.

IPod Touch has been synced with another Library- can't lose any data!!

Okay so I have my iTunes Media Folder on an external drive to save some space on my Hard drive. This just works fine, but yesterday I accidentally messed up my Media folder. Luckily, I got all my music, videos, apps etc back in original form, however when I wanted to sync my iPod Touch with My iTunes, I got a message saying that my iPod touch could only be used with one library and that I'd have to erase it! I have LOTS of app data and saved games (over 300 apps)... so is there any way I can make it sync without erasing? Help is appreciated!

Apps are not an issue since you can always redownload them for no additional cost if you are signed into the same iTunes account that purchased them originally. You can also transfer iTunes purchases to the computer. See:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519 (redownload)
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 (transfer)
It appears that iTunes now sees the fixed media library as new library. Is the computer authorized for the iTunes account on the iPod (Go to the Store tab in iTunes). On your computer if you go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices do you see a backup for your iPod? With you iPod connected to your computer if you right click on on your iPod under devices do you have an option to backup your iPod.
If you can backup your iPod and transfer purchases then you can restore the iPod using the backup and then sync. If You can't backup but have the backup already then you may be able to restore from backup. If you can't make a backup and one does not exist I know of no way not to lose yur data saved in your app.

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.

Hi All!
I have an iPod Touch and I set a passcode yesterday. I wento unlock it today and it seams I have forgotten my 4 Digit Pascode. I don't know what I should do
I don't have the PC which I last synced my iPod to. I changed My PC a month ago to a upgraded version, I diddnt transfer any data to that pc. I have iTunes installd on that pc but I havnt connected my iPod to it at all. I tried to connect it to my new pc for the first time so I could make a backup of everything, but itunes sid I had to unlock my ipod to use it on itunes. I don't know it so icant make a backup.
My ipod has very special things on like wedding pics/vids and other things which I dont have of.
I am fully aware how I have to restore it (dfu mode) but I have no data of it
Is it possible to use a third party application (windows) to make a backup and itunes to restore?
Or can I use a third party application to unlock my ipod?
Or will I have to say goodbye to my only copy of things?
I don't want to risk any more attempts. I have done a number of tries and I'm upto "ipod is disabled for 5 mins" I can still do more tries but I don't want the minutes to go higher
Thanks for you help!
I appriciate any replies given...

Hello,

I can't find a way to preserve app data while upgrade from iOS 3 to 4

During the weekend I am helping one family member to upgrade the iOS on her iPhone 3G from 3.1 to the latest available, 4.2.1, and I ran into a problem which mades me frustrated.
Before the upgrade, iTunes warns me "Upgrading to iOS 4.2 will delete all of the apps and media......" and suggest me that I should apply this update on teh compuetr where I syn apps, music, videos, and photos from.
The problem is, this user has never sync it with a computer. She had been using this phone for over 2 years, she has 5 pages worth of apps, and of course she would have data in some apps. She has no problem letting me make my computer as THE computer that her iPhone syncs to, and I even created a new iTunes profile for her, authorized her Apple ID, and transferred her purchase into iTunes. But when I check "Syn App" on, it tells me that all apps and data on the iPhone will be replaced with the data in the iTunes library. Well, I know what this is about, this is like.. one way overwrite type of sychronization.
But when I looked over everything again, it seems like in the iOS3 era, if you don't sync your apps with a computer on day 1 before you start using the phone, you permanately lose the ability to backup the apps' data and restore to another device? I like to emphasize again that my focus is in data, not apps, I know I could transfer purchases from phone A to iTunes to phone B, it's the inability of backing up data makes me frustrated.
Do I miss anything here? Is there still a way I could upgrade this phone from iOS 3 to iOS4, without losing her app data?

iTunes is required to initially activate the phone. Back when the iPhone 3G was sold, you would take it out of the box and see a "Connect to iTunes" screen. She HAD to connect to a computer in order to begin using the phone. Does she remember what computer this was?

Perhaps yours is an iPhone 3G and not a 3Gs...

No cellular data after upgrade to ios 6.0.1

I upgraded to ios 6.0.1 on my iPad.
When I try to get email or open Safari I get a message "Could not activate cellular data network"
Any clues?

Do a backup and do a restore from backup.
If no joy, do a restore as new.

Can't stream songs in music using mobile data since upgrading to ios 8.1.3

Since upgrading to iOS 8.1.3 I can no longer play songs in 'music' that are not downloaded to my phone? This was not an issue before the upgrade, any advice on how to fix this? I only have a 16gb 6, so cannot use space storing all my music And being able to stream stuff purchased through iTunes was ideal.

Hi Monie86,
If you are having issues with your being unable to play music streaming from iTunes Match, you may want to try some things to troubleshoot.
First, quit all running applications and test again -
Force an app to close in iOS - Apple Support
Next, I would try restarting and if needed resetting the iPhone -
Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
If the issue is still present, you may want to restore the iPhone as a new device -

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
