If planning to update to iOS 7 be sure to update iTunes on your computer to iTunes 11.1

    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.
    Transfer purchases.

  • Laptop synced to iPhone is almost dead, if I back iTunes up and plug phone into another pc will I lose everything?

    My laptop is extremely old and I no longer trust it as its broken on me before.
    If I back up my iTunes and put that disc into another pc will I keep all pics, apps, etc or will I lose everything?
    Please help!

    When you go in Preference -> Extension, you can see a folder.
    In this you have all data from your iTunes(BackUp, Music, Apps, i think photo also)
    -     Copy(BackUp) this folder.
    -     install iTunes on the new pc (same iTunes Version ist better)
    -     Copy the backup folder on the new pc.
    and it works.
    Please check the folder and search for your photos.
    I hope you can understand my bad english

  • Why is my app in the app store is all need to purchase with visa and such other things? As a example i wanted to update the clash of clan apps, but it keep saying that i have to do a billing thing. Please help me.

    Im currently new to this iphone. Im using iphone 5s with a version iOS 7.1.1. My problem is what is wrong with my app store? It keep telling me to update my billing method. Was all apps in the app store is need to be purchase. Such as i wanted to update my clash of clan game. It keep telling me to fill in my billing method. I already fill in the billing method, but it say that "There is a billing problem with a previous purchase. Please update you payment method. " i don't know why he keep telling me this even though in my visa card got money. Please help me with this problem

    This is incorrect. "There is a billing problem with a previous purchase. Please update you payment method. " means you have made a purchase and iTunes/Apple hasn't received the finds for it yet. hence the "There is a billing problem with a previous purchase. Please update you payment method. ". This means you would need to either use an iTunes gift card to pay it off or another debit or credit card that is currently on the account.

  • When I open Firefox, The tab keeps quickly flicking between "Connecting" and "New Tab". The browser will not connect to any site.

    This occurred straight after visiting the isohunt site. I had a message saying "Firefox is preventing
    IsoHunt from installing a program, will you allow?" (or words to that effect). I gave permission then the problem started.
    I have used Firefox on my iMac for a long time without any problem. I'm running OS X 10.7.5
    Hope you can help

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Safe+Mode
    You can use one of these to start Firefox in <u>Safe mode</u>:
    *On Windows, hold down the Shift key while starting Firefox with a double-click on the Firefox desktop shortcut
    *On Mac, hold down the Options key while starting Firefox
    *Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    If it does work in Firefox Safe-mode then disable all extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one extension at a time until the problem reappears.
    Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

  • HT1414 If I trade in my iPad 2 for the ipad3 will I lose everything I downloaded on the ipad2 or can I or can it be transfer to the new one?

    If I trade in my ipad2 for the new one can I transfer all info on the new iPad?

    You can copy off all your iTunes purchases to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases, and then do a backup of your current iPad by right-clicking on it under 'Devices' when connected to your computer's iTunes - you can then restore that backup to your new iPad.
    You may also want to copy any photos off the current iPad first (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083), and copy off any important documents, notes, files etc e.g via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc - they should be included in the backup, but it's best to have an 'external' copy of them just in case.
    In case you were hoping to do a trade-in via Apple, then they don't do trade-ins - or have you found a different store that does ?

  • HT4859 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?

    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.

  • Mail on my iPad 2 is no longer working after latest update. If I delete the account and reinstate it will I lose everything that was there before?

    Mail on my iPad 2 has stopped working since the latest update. The symbol is on the screen in its' usual place but it either opens briefly, just showing the blank framework for Mail before suddenly quitting, or all the App symbols disappear completelly from the screen. I'm not confident that i know what to do! If I delete the account and reinstate it will I lose everything that was there before? Looking at an earlier question along the same lines it doesn't appear that that would make a difference. If I reset the whole thing will I lose all my documents, photos etc.?
    i'd be extremely grateful for some clear guidance!

    (A) Try reset iPad
    Hold the Sleep/Wake and Home button down together until you see the Apple Logo.
    Note: Data will not be affected.
    (B) Close all apps in the multi-task window
    1.Double-click the Home button.
    2. Swipe the app's preview up to close it.
    3. Preview will fly off the screen.

  • 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?

    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.

  • I am replacing my original ipad with a new one given to me by my board if I do a reset and clear on my old ipad will I lose all the notes that show on my new ipad?

    If I reset and erase my old ipad will I lose my old notes that show up on my new ipad?   I don't think so but I am never sure with ipad.

    If you have already transfered everything to your New iPad... then Deleting the Content of the Old iPad is safe to do.

    I plan on buying a new  I Pad wit wifi and cell from Apple. But  I don't want to select a cell carrier right now. Q 1: Do I have to select a carrier at purchase? and Q 2, In the meantime will I be able to get on line at home using my Cox Internet wi fi? Thanks. 

    Thanks for the help. Now I can feel comfortable in not having to sign up for cellular when I buy, esp. Since I'll be using my new IPad mostly at home on my Cox wi fi. Then I can see, in using the i pad, how often I'd actually use the cellular, and where. This can help decide which type of cell plan I get. Small problem it may seem, but a very helpful answer. Thanks.

  • Forgot the passcode to my ipad. When I went to restore it, it asked me if I wanted to update the software so I said yes. It then went into recovery mode, I'm guessing, with the connect to iTunes showing on the screen. Now iTunes will not recognize it??

    Then you will need to try restoring it once more:
    Placing your device into recovery (DFU) mode:
    Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
       1. Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the
           other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
       2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds
           until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
                  * If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the
                    Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off,
                    release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
      3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the
           device. The device should turn on. Note: If you see the battery charge warning,
           let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some
           charge, and then start with step 2 again.
      4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen.
           When this screen appears you can release the Home button:
      5. If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
      6. Use iTunes to restore the device.
    If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
    Additional Information:
    If you have a problem getting into recovery mode then try: RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode.
    Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup. See this article for more information.
