HT1338 will i lose my photos if i update my software

I need to update my software...updated my iphone now cant get my music to phone unless i upgrade both itunes and OSX..have mac osx 10.5, can I upgrade to leopard?? and will i lose all of my photos from iphoto if I can??? HELP!!!!

If you upgraded a previous iPhone to iOS 6 as opposed to buying an iPhone 5, you don't need to upgrade the OS; click here and download iTunes 10.6.3. In either case, Mac OS X 10.6 requires an Intel Mac with at least 1GB of RAM, and you should always have a backup.

HT202664 my iphoto is under an old apple ID, how do I upgrade using my current ID? The current Iphoto is not working after the software upgrade. If I delete the iphoto app will i lose my photo library?

I have a MacBook pro I recently upgraded to OSX. iPhoto is now not working as it was purchased under an old apple ID and I cant find a way to use my current ID to upgrade it. Also if I delete iPhoto to then repurchase it, will I lose my photo library?

1. iPhoto won’t run any differently based on the Apple ID it’s associated with, but can only be updated from that one.
2. No. Back it up anyway.

My iPhone 4 has never backed up to anything, the account I started it with I never used. I now have a new icloud account, if I delete the old one will I lose my photos or will they still be on my phone?

My iPhone 4 has never backed up to anything, the account I started it with I never used so I was never able to verify it or anything. I now have a new icloud account and I want to backup my phone before I get a new one in a couple of days. If I delete the old account will I lose my photos or will they still be on my phone (remember they've never been backed up)? Thanks!

You cannot delete an Apple ID, you can just stop using it. If your photos are still on your phone now, then I suggest you do back them up. Transfer them from the phone into your iPhoto Library. iCloud only backs up your Camera Roll automatically. But the Camera Roll only contains new photos that were taken but not yet transferred using iTunes.

Archive and Install - will I lose my photos?

Hi
I need to reinstall OS X as I am having some problems with the blue screen and the fact that my iBook will not boot up. Before I go ahead and reinstall can anyone confirm that I will not lose my photos (and music). I really do not want to lose years worth of photos. (I know, I should have made a bcak up!)
Thank you

Hi JTatro
An Arhive and Install will keep your documents, photos, files, etc, in a folder called previous system, so no, you won't lose them.
But to be safer still, it would be even better to backup these precious files to another location, like to DVD or another drive.
If this answered your question, please consider awarding stars.

When you upgrade from iPhoto '09 to iPhoto '11 will you lose the photos in the old iPhoto '09 library

You won't lose data because it's updated for iLife '11

Will I lose my photos in iPhoto if upgrade to a latest version? I have upgraded my system to Mavericks and now my iPhoto doesn't work. Can anyone help, please?

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

Will I lose my photos when upgrading iPhoto after updating to Mavericks?

I recently upgraded to Mavericks and can't access iPhoto and need to upgrade. I currently have 9.3 but I did not back up my library. Will I lose my photos when I upgrade?

For this you can simply make a copy on the internal drive if you have space - that is enough for an upgrade - but you must have a large external drive and have a continuing backup system if your photos have any value at all to you - Time Machine is a good start

HT4236 if i sync with ipad using pc will i lose my photos in the ipad phot library?

if i sync with ipad using pc will i lose my photos in the ipad phot library?

You won't lose photos that you've taken with the iPad, copied to it via the camera connection kit or saved from emails/websites - those photos aren't affected by syncing.
If they are photos that were originally synced from a computer and this isn't the same computer, then you should be prompted as to whether you want them replacing - but there is a risk that they will be removed.

Downloaded Yosemite, logged out of iPhoto, will I lose my photos upon reinstall?

So I just downloaded and installed Yosemite onto my MacBook Pro. I need to update my iPhoto but apparently I didn't use my usual Apple login to get it? When I try to update and put in my Apple ID, it says "This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled." Okay, not awful, I'll just delete it and reinstall it on my Apple ID. But I'm afraid I'll lose all of my photos because when I go into the iPhoto folder in my Finder, my old photos aren't there and I get the message "Last login: Mon Oct 20 16:26:51 on ttys (a bunch of numbers):iPhoto Library.photolibrary (my name)". Help? Will I lose my photos if I delete my current iPhoto? What do I do?

Drag the library to a volume formatted as Mac OS Extended on an external drive, delete iPhoto, and reinstall it.

I would "guess", since you were in the middle of backing up, your backup is corrupt & most likely unusable. Only one way to find out though, & that's by trying to restore from that backup. If your pics are not there, they are gone.

If I uninstall LR will I lose the photos already uploaded. I need to uninstall to reinstall from a trial version

If I uninstall LR that I had as a trial in order to reinstall a paid version will I lose the photos already uploaded?

Your photos and catalog-of-adjustments will remain intact because they are stored in a separate location than the program, itself, which you’ll be replacing.
A reinstall shouldn’t be necessary unless your trial is CC LR and you paid for a serial-number LR or vice-versa.
For the serial-number LR it’s best to download the very latest version since if you don’t it’ll ask you do update, again, anyway. The latest LR 5.7.1 version is here:

I upgraded to OS X Yosemite and now need to upgrade iPhoto. I have an Airport Time Capsule that I have not employed yet to backup all my (thousands of) photos. I know, I am a fool. That aside, will I lose my photos in the upgrade?

I upgraded to OS X Yosemite and now need to upgrade iPhoto. I have an Airport Time Capsule sitting on my desk that I have not yet employed to backup all my (thousands of) photos. I know, I am a fool. That aside, will I lose my photos in the upgrade? I am desperate to backup my photos and now wonder if I should revert back to my previous operating system. Help!

iPhoto Library is essentially a large datafile in which your photos are stored. iPhoto is an application you use to do things with the photos stored in the datafile. If you backup iPhoto Library then you have backed up all the photos stored in the library. It's iPhoto that links you to all those photos stored in iPhoto Library. All you need do is to copy iPhoto Library to a backup drive. If you are doing regular backups, then you are already making a copy of the iPhoto Library on the backup drive.

If I force quite will i lose my photos in album

I'm trying to make a slide show. Application is not responding. If Iforce quite iPhoto, will I lose the photos in my album?

Hard to say but if you have to force quit then you have to do it - if you are luck you will lose nothing - if you are unlucky then you will have to go back to you backup from before this occurred - but you have no choice if you have to force quit
