You will lose everything if you do not have a backup.

I have an iPhone 5 and have just set up the iCloud for it. I also have an iPad with different content and I also want to connect it to iCloud. Will I lose everything that's on my iPad or iPhone or do they sync together without losing anything?
The problem is that all services are bundled with your Apple ID ([email protected]):
Your iCloud account (Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Reminders, Notes, Backups, etc.),
also iTunes & App Store purchases (Music, Movies, TV Shows, etc.),
and the iTunes Match services.
(I guess that all your devices - yours and your wife's are connected to one iTunes library, right?)
If you want that your wife gets her own iCloud account for Mail, Contacts, Calendars, etc. but gets also access to your media then you have two set up two things on her device:
iCloud (Settings > iCloud) with her account (e.g. [email protected])
and
iTunes & App Stores (Settings > iTunes & App Stores) with your account (e.g. [email protected]).
In this case she gets access to your library and could use the same iTunes Match account.

What does it mean when my ipad is in Recovery mode? It's connected to my imac for software update and it says I must "restore" the ipad before itunes can be used. Will I lose everything on my ipad?
Unless you have a backup from which you can restore, yes you will lose all of your data and settings.
You should be able to sync your content back to the iPad if you have been syncing with iTunes all along. If you don't sync with iTunes, you can download much of your paid content again for free as long as you use the same Apple ID. This explains downloading past purchases.

Unfortunately, at this point, you must restore the device before you can move on. There is nothing you can do to avoid it now. -
Why did I update my ios 6 through wifi only for it to ask me to connect to itunes and now its making me restore it? Will I lose everything?
It's in recovery mode. You don't have a choice. Anything that was on the phone is already gone. If you didn't back it up, there is no way to recover it.

my iphone 3gs crashed today, if i restore will i lose everything on it?
Once the Device is asking to be Restored with iTunes... it is too late to save anything...
To minimise loss... Connect to iTunes on the computer you Usually Sync with and Restore from the most recent Backup...

If necessary Place the Device into Recovery mode...

Will I lose everything on my iphone if I restore it
Will I lose everything on my iphone if I restore it. photos, contacts, music
It will erase everything.
If you have been using the iphone as designed, tehn everything will be on your computer, and you can sync it back.
You should be importing all pics taken with the iphone to your comptuer regularly as you would with any digital camera.
You should have been syncing your iphone contacts with your computer from day one.
All music should be on your computer in itunes.
Have you failed to do these things? -

If i register my iphone before backing up, will i lose everything??
Im trying to back up my phone with iCloud, but its taking literally forever. If I register my phone with iTunes on my computer, will I lose everything on my phone??
Yes, if you restore a backup then you will lose your current data. You can choose one or the other ...
Unless somehow you have the old data you want as well as the new data on your computer or somewhere else (not in your iPhone backup). -
If I download the newest version of iTunes to my Mac will I lose everything on iTunes from my version i have now
You should lose nothing.
However, this does not change the fact that you should ALWAYS have a backup copy of everything in your computer, including itunes.
You should ALWAYS make sure that your backup copy of your computer is up to date before any update, restore, etc. -
Will I lose everything if I upgrade?
Forgive me if this is a stupid question, but if I run the upgrade to Yosemite (I'm currently on Mountain Lion), will I have to reinstall all my software? Will I lose everything on my hard drive? I've backed up to Time Machine but can it restore stuff if the operating system has since changed? I have a Boot Camp partition too, will that be affected? I'm just a bit nervous at the hassle this is going to cause, especially when I read other comments on here where people are experiencing major problems after upgrading.

Yosemite is slow, the lay-out worse than Snow Leopard, and I have a problem that refuses to let me run some programs. Apple want to charge me £25 to tell me how to solve the problem. Don't even think of using Yosemite, it has not one feature to recommend it. I'd revert to Snow Leopard in a blink of an eye if I knew how to do it.
If you'd like to try to fix what's wrong with your Yosemite installation, or if you'd like some help with going back to Snow Leopard, we could help you with that. In that case it would probably be better to start your own thread and give some more information. You can download Etrecheck, http://www.etresoft.com/etrecheck, which is a small free app that can generate a system report which you can then post in your new thread. -
Disabled ipod and the computer it was in sync with is broken...will I lose everything?
My daughter's ipod touch has been disabled. My problem is that I never did sync this ipod with my new and only computer. Will she lose everything if a reset?
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

HT1222 If I update my iPad will I lose everything on it?
If I update my iPad will I lose everything on it?!
Backup your iPad first and if something goes wrong, you can restore from the backup, I have never, ever lost anything when I updated any of my iDevices going back to iOS 3.x and I am now on iOS 6.1 the very latest iOS on my Pad 3.
What you should do anytime that you update the device is to transfer purchases from the iPad into iTunes - File>Transfer Purchases - and you should backup the iPad as well. When you update the update the device, if something goes wrong, you can restore from the backup.
If you have any other important files, you may want to transfer them to your computer as well, prior to the update.

I have an Icloud account with my parents but want to make a new one. Will I lose everything that is currently on my phone? i.e. phone numbers, pictures, music
In case you're not clear - iPad/iPhone storage, and iCloud storage, are totally separate. Buying more iCloud storage does not give you more storage space on your device. Your device has a fixed storage space for apps and data (e.g., 16GB - which is more like 12GB in real terms). iCloud storage just allows you to store more documents, mail, photos, etc, in the cloud.

The iCloud was never verified therefore never backing up anything on my iphone 4s because it was the wrong email and now I'm trying to make a new one but it says if I delete the account it will remove it's data from my phone. So if I put delete account will I lose everything on my Iphone?
This was EXACTLY what I needed about the purchases I made from my device. However, is there a way to re-download other ones you've made from a computer? Because I realized some of them were not just purchased from my device.
This is a picture of what it looks like now:
http://tinypic.com/r/107quxu/7
As you can see, the stuff circled in red doesn't give me an option to download from Cloud Beta because it already says "downloaded".
any way to get around that?
