HT1212 When I plug in my iphone into itunes for the first time will i lose everything?
Ive had my iphone for over a year now and it is rather full so was hoping to take stuff off of it and add it to my pc to make room on my phone but i havent yet had it hooked up to itunes on my pc so will i lose everything? please help!
Well, you certainly aren't using it the way Apple intended or describes in the manual, and you have been running a huge risk of losing everything. But if you have never synced it with any computer at all you shouldn't lose anything by syncing now. In iTunes on your computer open Preferences/Devices tab, and check the box to not automatically sync. Then connect the phone. When it appears in iTunes click on its name, then choose "Back Up Now". After you have backed up you can sync safely. If you have photos in the Camera Roll transfer them to a photo app on your computer the same way you would for any digital camera (not using iTunes).

if i reset network settings to get back my wifi will i lose everything on my ph ? should i back up everything first on pc ?
No you won't lose anything, however you would need to re enter your password for known wifis.
You should already be backing up your phone on a regular basis. -
I have a new update for my iPod Touch 4g. Will I lose everything?
I just received a software update for my iPod Touch 4th gen. I have heard a lot of people say the lost there stuff and I am scared I will lose everything. Any advice?
You should ALWAYS make sure that EVERYTHING is on your computer before any update/restore/etc., just as you shuld always make sure that your backup copy of your computer is upt ot date before any update/restore/etc.
If you do lose anything, you would just sync it back. -
any ideas
I assume you mean it's asking you to restore your phone. If that's correct, then you will lose the data on your phone if you haven't backed it up. If you have backed it up you will be given an option to restore from this backup at the end of the restore process.

I am about to replace an iPhone 4. I want to make sure that it contains no recoverable personal information, such a contacts, photos, e-mail, etc. If I use the erase and reset function in Settings will that be sufficient? Or is there a way to write over the old information in a manner similar to a "secure empty trash?"

Does the phone still charge when you use the wall adapter?
If yes, charge it for about 10 min, then try to do a reset by holding the sleep and home button until the Apple logo comes back again.
If this does not work, try to connect to your computer in recovery mode, explained here: iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to restore -

I have a used Iphone 4S that I am trying to unlock but don't have the original computer and don't know the password, how can I get by this?
The only thing to do is to follow the information on the support document that you linked from that talks about not syncing with a computer. Read further down. You will have to restore the phone as new. Also, make sure you have the Apple ID and password for the original owner that activated the phone, unless they have already deactivated Find My iPhone.

Try to reset it by holding the power an home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, then release. If it won't reset, you'll probably have to force it into recovery mode and restore it, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808.

I thought my pictures was safe in the iCloud, but I was not aware of the 30 days and the 1000 pictures, so I lost quite a lot of pictures... is there any possibilities to find them again? I have only used iphone and ipad.
Not through iCloud, but are they still on your iPad or iPhone? Open Photos, then go to the Albums and see if they are still in the main Camera Roll rather than My Photo Stream. If they are in there, it would be a good idea to sync the devices to a computer so you can store the photos.
