Does everything on your laptop get deleted if you upgrade to a later version of Mac OS X?

Hi,
I have a MacBook. My software is version 10.5.8. If I buy 10.6 or Lion, will everything get deleted from my laptop? Please help!

If everything goes correctly, your data should stay, but It's still strongly recomended to back up

  • Attempting to watch a video on a social media site, I get a response you must upload a later version of Flash.   Is there an Apple alternative, or another alternative, or should I just go ahead and download the Flash.

    Attempting to watch a video on a popular social media site, I'm asked to download a Flash Media upgrade in order to view.   Is there an Apple alternative, or another alternative, or should I just go ahead and download Flash, but will it still take as long as it used to, to play?

    Adobe Flash Player version 11.1.102.55 is the latest and it works fine for me on several Intel Mac's.

    Won't make your download speed any faster, but should play the content in question.

  • If you restore your ipad, does all your data get deleted?

    If you restore your ipad, does all your data get deleted?

    This could solve the "other" problem that you are experiencing right now. You really have nothing to lose by trying.
    Backup the iPad, restore to factory settings and then restore from the backup after you restore to factory settings to recover everything. You will also have to sync with iTunes in order to get your apps, music, etc back onto the device after restoring from the backup.
    That may totally solve the problem. But, on the other hand, as you mentioned, if the backup itself is the culprit - meaning that the backup is corrupt - when you restore from that backup, you could be right back where you started.
    Sometimes, when the "other" cannot be fixed any other way, you do have to restore to factory settings and NOT restore from the backup. Obviously you will lose all data when you do this, but you can still sync your iTunes content back to the iPad and you will not lose any music, apps, books and so on, as long as they are in iTunes on your computer.
    Most purchased content can be downloaded again at no charge as long as you use the same Apple ID and as long as the content is still available in the store in which you bought it (Music in iTunes, apps in the App Store ...)
    If that does not answer your question, just post again and I will do what I can to help you further.

  • Does anyone know how to get an application you had once without using App Store?

    Does anyone know how to get an application you had once without using App Store?
    Because I'm underage and I couldn't get it back.
    I just want it back, I'm not going to use any money in App Store...

    When you say you "had it once", how did you get it then?  The App Store has only been around for a few years, so there are lots of apps out there that you would once get from the developer, but now they're only available on the App store.  Which app(s) are you referring to?

  • Hi there. Can a MacBook from mid 2007 running OS X (10.6.8) be upgraded to a later version? If yes which one and how can I get it please? Many thanks. Franck

    10.7 Lion is still available from Apple. You will have to call Apple Customer Care 1-800-692-7753 or 1-800-676-2775. to purchase it. Then within 3 days you will get an email with a code which you can use to download Lion from the App Store.  The price is $19.99.
    You must have at least a Late 2006 model 2,1 MacBook.
    The model 2,1 (Late 2006 & Mid 2007) can use 3gb of 200 pin 667mhz PC2-5300 RAM
    The model 3,1 (Late 2007) can use 6gb of 200 pin 667mhz PC2-5300 RAM
    Lion will require at least 2gb of RAM but really needs 4gb to run smoothly. You can put two 2gb RAM sticks in the model 2,1 but it can only use 3,3gb. This is a hardware limitation and cannot be changed.

    http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/macbook_pro/faq/macbook-pro-core-2-duo-3-g b-memory-limitation-details.html
    OWC tests have found that there is a slight speed increase with having two 2gb sticks in rather than one 1gb and one 2gb. the model 2,1 is in the gray lines at the bottom of the graph. http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/Memory_Benchmark/Apple_MacBook/
    As for third party programs see this list for compatibility with 10.7 http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
    Also Lion doesn't run any Power PC programs. To see if you have any Power PC programs go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info. When System Profiler comes up select Applications under Software. Then look under Kind to see if any of your applications are listed as Power PC. Universal and Intel will run under Lion.
    Before Mac switched to Intel processors in 2006 they used Power PC processors from 1994 to 2005. Power PC 601 through 604, G3, G4 and G5. Applications written for the Power PC processors need the application called Rosetta to run on Intel processors. This was part of the Operating System in 10.4 and 10.5 but was an optional install in 10.6. With 10.7 Lion Apple dropped all support for Power PC applications.

  • IPad 1 - Deleted app, tried to reinstall, but later version is only available which does not work on iOS5.  How do I get the original back?

    Deleted App on my iPad 1.  Tried to reinstall - but app has been updated and only works on iOS6 now. 
    Have gone to app store and looked under "purchased", again only the updated app is available which doesn't work on my device. 
    How do I get back the original version which worked on the earlier version of iOS?
    I do not have a copy of the app in iCloud.
    Thanks

    The only possible way that you could get it back is if the app is still in your iTunes library. If you don't sync with iTunes and it is not in your iTunes library, unfortunately, your version of the app is gone now.

  • Does a contact or note get deleted if i delete them on my ios device?

    Hello everyone,
    I know that if i delete or edit a contact on icloud.com it gets deleted or edited on my ios devices. I want to know if this works the other way round, meaning if i delete a contact on my iphone/ipad will it be deleted from icloud?

    Yes.  iCloud syncing is bi-directional.  Changes made on your device are reflected on icloud.com and all other devices sharing the same iCloud account, and vice versa.

  • HT5278 Does your games and apps get wiped when you upgrade your iPad to the IOS 5.1.1

    Hi I would like to know that if you upgrade your IPAD 2 to IOS 5.1.1 will all the stuff you have on your IPAD get wiped

    For the sake of updating, it doesn't matter too much - but you can find it on the iPad through Settings -> About - Version. If your current version is 4.x or older, you'll have to do it through iTunes... but even if you have a newer version, if you want to be extra sure that you'll keep your data then do it through iTunes (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623) and make sure to let iTunes fully back-up your iPad before you start the update.

  • Price on PO getting deleted once you reference an item with a contract

    Hi,
    We are using SRM5.5, ECS, and I am trying to create a standalone PO with a line item reference with material/service ID and also I want to reference it to a contract line, but once I add the contract line for that material, the price is getting deleted. Any clues?
    The second point is that I am not able to create a limit item with reference to contract in BBP_POC, in other words, I can't even see the contract field if I select limit item, any thing missing?
    Thanks,
    CS

    Hi Peter,
    Thanks for your reply, but I have no price on the contract line, and I tested with a contract with price too, but still once I reference the item from a PO line item, the price is getting deleted. Wondering why this is happening?
    Thanks,
    CS

  • Problems with contacts getting deleted after software upgrade!

    Somehow, my IPhone 4s had a software upgrade, and it DELETED contacts.  Anyone else have a problem with this????  UGH!
    I had a thunderbolt before my IPhone, and my contacts were saved to the verizon back up assistant.  They are now nowhere to be found!

    If you were already using iOS 5 where you using the iCloud feature to back up your device? If so, you should be able to retrieve your contacts. If you just upgraded to iOS 5 where you backing up your device on your computer via iTunes? You were advised to complete a backup prior to proceeding with the software update...if you did so then a copy of your back up should be available in iTunes. Try looking at the following link to see if it helps:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414
    If you did not do a backup and you were not using iCloud to do backups then you would need re-sync your contacts from another source...did you use a contact manager on your computer (such as Outlook)? If you did then you can retrieve your contacts from there. Try looking at this link to see if it helps. If it is not the correct one you can do a search on that site to find the article that better fits your needs.
