HT4972 I want to upgrade iOS, from 4.3.3. Will I lose all my apps?
In order to upgrade the version I understand that I need to sync my iPad then update via iTunes. Will I lose all my apps or are these saved? What about apps I've bought?
Thanks!
If you have never synced the iPad to the computer that are intending to do the update by then this page may be of use : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141
In terms of the actual update, connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes and copy any purchases off the iPad to your computer via File > Transfer Purchases (File > Devices > Transfer Purchases on iTunes 11) - that should copy all of your apps (purchases or free) and other iTunes purchases over (music, films etc). You may also want to copy photos and any important documents off the iPad as well 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 a copy of them outside of the backup just in case. You can then force a backup of the iPad by right-clicking the iPad 'Device' on the left-hand side of iTunes and selecting 'Backup'.
Then start the update by selecting the iPad on the left-hand side of iTunes (on iTunes 11 you can enable the left-hand sidebar via option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC), and on the Summary tab on the right-hand side clicking the Check For Updates button
Updating to iOS 5+ : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4972
An iPad 1 will update to iOS 5.1.1, and an iPad 2 and 3 to iOS 6.0.1 - they are the only versions that are 'signed' by Apple for them.

I want to upgrade iOS from 5 to 6, but when I go to synch everything in preparation, it tells me I will lose all my stuff on the iPhone and iPad which is/are unique. How can I backup or do a "real synch" (both sides have same data at end of process) and then upgrade?
You should really read the manual.
"How do you restore from backup? "
Restore. When given the choice, choose to use backup.
"And how can I check to see if the pics and videos are on my computer somewhere first??"
They would only be where you put them. What program did you use to import them? Pics/vids taken with ipod are not part of the sync process at all. You should be importing them just as you would with any digital camera.
If you did not import them, then they are not on your computer. -
I have a Mac OS X 10.6.8 and want to upgrade to OS X Yosemite, but will I lose my purchased programs as I have a student version of the creative suite that will cancel itself if I try to reinstall it?
Thanks in advanceYou won't lose the purchased software unless a problem occurs or it's incompatible with Yosemite. Back everything up first.

If I upgrade to ios 5.1.1 on my iPhone, will I lose all my apps or have to redownload them?
Or how can I prevent this?Now everything should remain the same as it was prior to the update.
But a good practice is to always do a backup prior to any update - "Just in case" -
I was syncing my ipod touch on a friend's computer and now want to sync to my new mac book, will I lose all my stuff?
Not if you do the following:
- Transfer iTunes purchased to the new computer:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
- Transfer other music by using one of the third-party programs discussed here:
new PC: Apple Support Communities
- Move a copy of the iPod backup file from the old to new computer. That file is located here:
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
- After the stuff is moved/transfered, restore the iPod from the backup you just moved to the new computer and sync as necessary. -
I am using my brothers itunes account and syncing my Iphone with it. Now i have created my own itunes account. If i sync my phone to the new account will i lose all my apps? Any way i can keep the existing apps and sync my phone as well?

If i uninstall windows 8.1 from my macbook pro, will i lose all the data from mac partition as well?
if i uninstall windows 8.1 from my macbook pro, will i lose all the data from mac partition as well?
Depends on how you do it
If you create a partition with Boot Camp and format that partition correctly
Then install Windows your data should not be touched
If you do anything wrong or there is any mishap during the whole procedure you could lose everything
Hence the reason I suggest that you backup first

My husband and I are on the same iTunes account but now that we are separating he wants me to get my own but I am afraid I will lose all my apps and music that I currently have on my ipad2 , my daughters iPad, and my iPhone? Any info or suggestions would be great!
You wont lose them...they'll still be on your device...you just wont be able to update or redownload them...this is why...people shouldnt share accounts.

Will i lose all my apps if i upgrade my iOS on my ipad?
pls help
A backup should be done by iTunes as part of the update process, and your apps should remain installed (with their content/settings) after the update. I've only ever had an issue with one update which removed half of my apps, but I just re-installed them - you can always re-download apps for free if they do get removed, but that shouldn't happen (re-downloading : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519)
