Error -5000 will result in loss of all content?

I'm trying to upgrade my iPad to the iOS5. I get an error -5000 that says if I continue it will result in loss of all content.
How do I get around this?

Back up your iPad first, then upgrade. You can restore all your apps and data after it updates!

When upgrading iphone 3GS to version 5 it says there was an error backing up this iphone (-5000) continuing will result in loss of all contents..

how can I upgrade without losing all contents?

The first thing you need to do is (in the left side of iTunes, under devices) right click on your phone, and do a manual back up. As long as that works, this should work for you. After you back it up, go to your phone in iTunes, and do a "Restore". Click the option to restore and update. When it is done with the update, it will ask you if you want to set your phone up as a new phone, or restore from the last back up. Restore it, and after another restart, and a sync, you will have your updated phone without loosing your information.

If you really do not have enough space on your HDD for a backup of your iPad, you do not have enough space at all. Free up at least 15% of your HDD, in any case more than 0.8GB for the iPad update.
Make backups on an external disk.
After freeing up enough space, try again.

Thanks Bob, I don't know why but it all of a sudden worked a few days later. It's a mystery but at least problem solved.

HT201274 how much it will take if I erase all content and settings?

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
It will take some seconds only to erase the content of the iPhone. Then, you will have to set up your device again

HT201274 What exactly will happened if I reset all content and settings

I upgraded this phone from someone else's old account bc I had info in their account I needed. Now I'm restricted from doing a lot of things because they're old passwords are still in the system how can I erase there're old IDs and passwords and change them to my own without losing all my contact information?

If you erase all content and settings it will wipe the phone and there will be nothing on it. If you want to change Apple IDs:
For purchases, go to Settings>Store>Apple ID, tap the ID shown, sign out, sign back in with your ID
For iMessage, go to Settings>Messages>Receive At, tap the ID at the top, sign out, sign back in with your ID
For FaceTime, go to Settings>FaceTime, tap the ID, sign out, sign back in with your ID
For iCloud, go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. Then set up a new iCloud account on the phone with your Apple ID.
For mail accounts, go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars, tap each account, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. Then set up your own.
That should about do it. Note: for app updates, if there are apps on the phone that were purchased with his ID you will need to delete these from the phone and from your iTunes library (if there) in order to not be prompted for the password for his ID. (Apps are permanently tied to the Apple ID used to purchase them.)
