HT1212 will restoring my device erase all my photos?

i forgot my ipads passcode and i know it needs to restore itself but i just want to know this

Yes it will. When you restore it will totally erase the device. But if you backup, as recommended, you can restore from the backup and the photos in the camera roll will be restored. If you don't backup, and you haven't imported the photos to your computer, then the photos are gone.

    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

  • Will restoring my MacBook delete all of my software?

    I currently have OS X Lion and I want to downgrade to Snow Leopard since it is more compatable with most software. I have to restore my computer in order to do this. Will restoring my computer delete all of my software on my computer? Will I have to install everything once again?

    Downgrading will require that you erase the drive, so everything on the drive will be deleted. You should make a backup of your system beforehand, although not everything can be restored that may be Lion dependent. Here's the downgrade procedure:
    Downgrade Lion to Snow Leopard
    1.  Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button.  When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. Quit DU and return to the installer. Install Snow Leopard.
    This will erase the whole drive so be sure to backup your files if you don't have a backup already. If you have performed a TM backup using Lion be aware that you cannot restore from that backup in Snow Leopard (see below.) I suggest you make a separate backup using Carbon Copy Cloner 3.4.1.
    If you have Snow Leopard Time Machine backups, do a full system restore per #14 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.  If you have subsequent backups from Lion, you can restore newer items selectively, via the "Star Wars" display, per #15 there, but be careful; some Snow Leopard apps may not work with the Lion files.

    That's a peculiar one to get in the context of a QuickTime uninstall.
    Which particular version of QuickTime for Windows are you currently running? (7.7.5, 7.7.4, something earlier?)

    My parent's IPad is SUPER outdated and I'm trying to buy an app for my brother for Christmas. However, I can't buy the app because it says we need to update the software.

    No, because you can restore or backup to iCloud for multi device as soon as you have free space in your account

  • Will the new update erase all my iPad2 content

    Was just on the phone to the Support Express line ( re a problem that this forum had already solved for me) the guy said I needed to install the update but added its would erase all the content on my iPad. Have only had the ipad2 for 2 weeks and just got it loaded with the stuff I need (not all through iTunes) so would really rather not have to start from scratch. Does anyone know if this is true?

    Yes, that's correct. You need to sync your iPad first to create a current backup. Note that anything you've downloaded to the iPad that's not in iTunes will be lost. Syncing is one way - iTunes to iPad. See
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store.
    When you update iOS your device is first completely erased. Then the new iOS is installed. You will then be asked if you wish to restore as new or from a backup. If you choose the backup then everything that was most recently synced with iTunes will be restored.

  • Will buying mountain lion erase all my data?

    I am quite interested in updating to Mountain Lion, as I have a very outdated Mac. However, I am worried that doing so will erase all my data. Also, will updating make my mac run faster? It has been working much slower recently. Its only three years old, 10.6.8. Please help!

    In addition to BT's comments:
    The OS X update process will stomp on your /Applications, but not on the content in /Users, which is where your login directory resides. Good backup habits are sound advice.
    Even if your three-year old Mac complies with the minimum supported hardware specs, it is very unlikely that a larger, more resource hungry Mountain Lion will give you more features and run faster on your hardware.
    If you wish to stay current with OS X releases, at some point, you will need to step up to a new or refurbished hardware purchase decision.

  • Restoring Iphone 5 erased all my recent texts

    After purchasing snow leopard to update my MacBook in order to sync my new Iphone 5 to my computer, it erased all my recent text message till June of last year.  Can I recover my recent texts?  Need to be able to read some of the recent texts i have sent and can't find them anywher.

    If you have a recent backup of your phone, then you can restore to that backup.
    If you don't have a recent backup, then there is no way to get those text back.

  • HT4236 Why will my iPod not sync all the photos I want it to - I get a message saying that it cant display certain images.  All my photos are in jpg format and similar size.

    Why will my iPod touch not sync all the photos I want it to.  I get a message saying it cant display some of my photos.  They are all in jpg. format and similar size. Never had any problems before!
    Thanks

    That sounds exactly like an issue that has plagued McAfee users for around a year.

    You can erase them all when importing them to a computer. Note that importing and backing up are not the same thing. Following are import instructions, including how to delete all of the imported photos from the phone: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083

  • Will restoring my ipod lose all data on itunes?

    i forgot my passcode and i was going to restore it but i dont know if it will delet all my apps and music on itunes

    It will erase and restore the iPad to factory settings, all content should reside in iTunes. It won't remove anything from your computer.

  • Will restoring my iPod erase my iTunes music too?

    Just a quick question. If I restore my ipod will all my music be erased from my iTunes library as well as my ipod? Thanks!

    Hello, 
    Restoring the iPod will only clear the music from the iPod. Your iTunes library will be unaffected. It's always worth having a backup though!

  • HT1212 will restoring my ipod touch this way delete everyhing i have on my ipod

    Yes, it will. You can re-download all purchased items from iTunes or restore from an existing backup you have made.

  • Will restoring my device use up two of my ten device count?

    I've had a rather unfortunate past month when it comes to my electronics. I recently had to restore both my iPad 1 and my Apple TV 2, as well as reinstalled Windows 7 on my PC, all three of which were signed up for iTunes Match (I also have a second PC signed up, as well as my iPhone, bringing my total registered device count to 5). I know that at least with the PC, doing this requires me to authorize my PC again after the reinstalled OS and to deauthorize the old OS if I don't want it to count anymore.
    My question regards how many devices my iTunes Match is still registered to, since users are limited to 10 devices (we are limited to ten, right?). Without counting any restores, I'm at five, but if Apple is counting the restored iPad, AppleTV, or PC, I could be looking at having up to eight devices already used up, assuming I have no new problems!
    As someone looking to purchase a MacBook Pro, new iPad, and possibly a new Apple TV in the near future, this is extremely concerning to me. Could someone please tell me whenther or not the restored devices are indeed being counted twice,cand if so, if there is any way for me to de-register the old authorizations, similar to the way I can deauthorize a computer?

    No, restoring does not use up a device slot. I've restored my iPhone a handful of times and it only gets counted once.
