I havent updated my operating system on my iphone 3gs in over a year will i lose all my numbers by doing it?

I didn't have any issues till I had to get the screen replaced yesterday because I finally dropped it one too many times. By doing so some of my apps were deleted, ie: Facebook and others. I tried to redownload them but my phone has not been synced since i bought it basically well over a year ago.
I am afraid of losing my numbers. I was able to save photos and videos to the computer but have yet to down load/sync my phone.

If you are running iOS 4 or higher you can use an app like My Contact Backup to back up your contacts prior to updating. If not, consider backing them up to cloud service like Google.

I have recently updated the operating system on my iPad. Now my alarm is silent and my FaceTime doesn't ring aloud when a call comes in. How do I fix this please?

Do you see a half moon icon in the upper right corner of the screen? If so, you have Do Not Disturb enabled. Settings>Do Not Disturb. Turn it off.
Or do you have system sounds muted?
System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the control center. Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to get to control center. Tap on the bell icon and system sounds will return.
If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock can be accessed in the same manner as described above.
This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

Thank you so very much! I have got 1 Masters online and am working on #2. Yet I am so very computer illiterate. I was able to fix it in less than a minute. Again, thank you.

Photoshop Elements 11 will not allow me to open files after I updated my operating system

I recently updated my operating system with the latest upates. Now, I when I got into Elements and I try to open a file, the window where you normally click the file disappears before I can click anything. Then I have to force quit because everything is grayed out and I can't click anything. I have contacted adobe support but they said it is most likely a mac problem becuase the program works fine when I log into another user account. They said to contact Macsupport to check the permission for Adobe products on the current user acount. Also, some people suggested to turn off the active corners, but that didn't work. Anyone else have a suggestion?

I am having the same issue and all since I updated to the Maverick OS (well it seems that way anyway). I am currently going through the process of repairing permissions, removing other pieces of 'non standard' software on the Mac, uninstalling Elements 11, doing a safe boot and then a download of the package again and trying a completley new install. If this doesn't work it will be a fresh user account and start again.
There were some very helpful hints from folks about remmoving other unnecessary software which did help stablise other issues but I still cannot get Element to work.
You could have alook at these links to see if anything helps with your issues - the last one seems most relevant;

When I export documents as a PDF in Indesign the fonts appear as squares. This has started happening since I updated my operating system to 10.9.4 on my iMac.

Apple Mail uses Apple's own PDF viewer, and it's ... well, let's be friendly and say not really up to par. Don't use it for anything else than ascertaining there is *something* in your mail. Then use the free Adobe Reader to view your PDF.

Issue updating iPad operating system

I have been trying to update the operating system on my ipad but each time i do it crashes at the last stage, can anyone help?
It says the connection is timing out once it is 1% from complete!

If you are having problems downloading the iPad iOS update and you're getting a network timeout message, then have you tried temporarily turning off your firewall and antivirus software whilst the download is happening ? A number of people on here have been able to download successfully after doing so.

Ever since I updated the operating system, itune doesn't play music on iphone 4. If it plays, it plays only one song and gets stuck. I've tried to reconnect to the computer to see whethere there has been missing portion during the upgrade... but not really. does anyone have the same issue?

What does "gets stuck" mean?
It repeats?
It stops playing?
Have you tried the basics from the manual? Restart. Reset. Restore.

I am trying to update the operating systems on I pod touch 3rd generation.

I am trying to update my operating systems on I pod touch, 3rd generation.
The instructions say:
Settings
General
Updates
I don't have an updates options on my i pod touch?

The Settings>General>Software Update was introduced starting with iOS 5.
To update
Connect the iPod to your computer and update via iTunes
iTunes 10 for Windows: Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
A 1G iPod can go to iOS 3.1.3
A 2G to 4.2.1. Requires iTunes version 10.X. That requires a Mac with OSX 10.5.8 or later. With 1OSX 10.4.11 you can only go to iTunes 9.X which gets you as high as iOS 4.1
A 3G to 5.1.1 Requires iTunes version 10.5 or later
Identifying iPod models
Are you sure you really do not have a 2G iPod? Those can only go to 4.2.1

iPod touch (3rd generation)
iPod touch (3rd generation) features a 3.5-inch (diagonal) widescreen multi-touch display and 32 GB or 64 GB flash drive. You can browse the web with Safari and watch YouTube videos with Wi-Fi. You can also search, preview, and buy songs from the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store on iPod touch.
The iPod touch (3rd generation) can be distinguished from iPod touch (2nd generation) by looking at the back of the device. In the text below the engraving, look for the model number. iPod touch (2nd generation) is model A1288, and iPod touch (3rd generation) is model A1318.

My iPad does not automatically update the operating system.how can I accomplish this?

Your post says you are on iOS 4.3.2. You need to be at least at iOS 5 to have a "Software Update" capability on your iPad. Right now, you need to update your iPad using iTunes on your computer.
Plug your iPad into iTunes (current version: 11.0.4). Let it sync. Then choose "Check for Updates" from the iPad's summary page in iTunes.
