HT4623 Will I lose my photos and information if I restore and update?
I just received the following message when updating my phone. It says my phone is in recovery mode and I need to restore. Will I lose my photos and information if I restore and update?
IF your phone is in recovery mode, then all data is off the phone already.
You will need to restore your phone but you can use your icloud or itunes backup to get your information back.
I assume you back up on a regular basis right?

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 youHi 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.

I've been having trouble on my 4S since the update. If I restore it, will I lose my notes and photos?
Hi,
Please clear your temp folder and delete the files. After that download the creative cloud desktop application from the link below:

If i download the new OS X Mountain Lion to my Macbook Pro that has Snow Leopard, will i lose my apps and downloads (such as: Microsoft word, powerpoint, excel, oovoo, skype) and will i lose all of my pictures/documents and information?
I should just change the OS and leave all your apps and data alone. That said, if any of your apps are old and use Rosetta (ppc apps), they won't run under Mountain Lion.
Make sure you take a good Time Machine or Clone backup before you convert.
You can check compatibility of your apps here:

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 in recovery mode? I tried to update to latest software and I received a message that iphone needs to be updated to factory settings. Please help. I cannot use iphone.
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.

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.

I forget my passcode, and got locked out of my iPad. I never synched, so my files aren't backed up. I read that I need to restore, but will lose everything. Is there any other way to not lose my photos and files on my computer?
If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup).
If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present.
You may have to force iPad/iPod into Recovery Mode

I backed up my phone yesterday on iTunes as I normally do and as I do not have enough memory I had to delete my photos to update the software. If I backup in a month will that override my last backup on iTunes and will I lose my photos. Plz help
you can change the sync settings in itunes. plug your phone into the computer, select the device in the side bar (it should have an iphone icon next to it), then select the tab for photos to modify the settings for what will and will not be synced.

Will I lose my Calendar and Addresses if I sync my iPod with a new macbook?
I just had to get a new hard disk and want to put my Cal and Addresses back on it. I can find lots of information about transferring my photos and music, but will I lose my Calendar and Addresses if I sync my iPod with a new macbook?
Before you sync, make at least one entry in your computer's Address Book and one iCal event (a fake entry will do). That will generate a "merge" prompt. Otherwise, the empty address book and calendar will overwrite what you have on your iPod.

Will i lose my pics and texts if i restore my iphone
will i lose my pics and texts if i restore my iphone
If you can restore from an iTunes backup, you will get the information back listed in "iTunes will back up the following information" here:
iTunes: About iOS backups
That should include texts. Photos will depend on where they are on your computer. -
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 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.

If I make a new apple id or I cloud account will I lose my pictures and contacts etc..
If I make a new apple id or I cloud account will I lose my pictures and contacts etc..
If this is becuase you cannot access your old account I would try everything first before making a new account.
expresslane.apple.com or http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/account/ or 1-800-APL-CARE.
If you delete the icloud account from your device it will remove the photostream and documents stored in the cloud from the device (if you're using iwork or another app that uses icloud to sync documents).
Photos from the camera roll will still be there.
It will ask if you want to keep the contacts, calendars, reminders, and bookmarks.
If you want to save your contacts choose "Keep on my iphone"
If you create a new apple ID you won't lose anything except your previous purchases, meaning if you wanted to redownload that app you paid for before, you will have to pay for it again with the new ID.
