If I download iOS 5 will it erase all

if I download iSO 5 will it erase all my apps & contacts?

No. Prior to the update iTunes will do a backup of your current content - update the iOS - then restore the previous content.

    If you update via Settings>General>Software update not should be lost unless there is a glitch.
    If you update via iTunes all your syncecd media like apps and music has to be in your iTunes library.
    As a precaution make backups before updating

  • If i download ios 7 will the pictures on my phone be deleted?

    I have an iphone 4s with 2559 pictures. If I download ios 7 will my pictures be deleted?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Your content will be kept. However, if those photos are on Camera Roll, you have to make a backup of your phone before upgrading > http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766 You will lose everything if the iOS 7 upgrade goes wrong.
    If those photos were transferred from a PC or Mac (they are in albums) and you lose everything from your iPhone, you just need to connect your phone to your PC or Mac and transfer the photos

  • If i update my iphone 4 to the ios5 will it erase all my stuff on it if i use a new computer and a new itunes with nothing on it?

    can anyone tell me if i update my iphone to the new ios5 will it erase all of my personal things on it if i use a new computer and a new itunes that has nothing on it? or will the back up save all my music and pictures and stuff like that? thanks

    I had to go through this today (got a new computer recently). I ended up pluggng in my phone to the new computer and then doing a sync and a backup, and Image Capture to get all your pics just in case. Then I did an update check wnen iOS 5 became active and it said that it was going to erase everything and I hit OK. And after that install was complete, I did "restore from backup" which said it would restore everything that was backed up except the new iOS 5 firmware (that stayed put). Just a few tweaks here and there and it all worked for me.
    Hope this helps a bit

  • HT1212 if i dont have synche and can't remember my lock password will it erase all my data

    if i dont have a synche and can't remember my lock password will it erase all my data

    If you hav not syned the iPod to a computer after you setup the screen-lock passcode then the only way to regain use of the iPod is to place the iPod in recovery mode (which erases the iPod) and restore via iTunes.
    You can try connecting the iPod to your computer and making a backup
    iOS: How to back up
    iTunes and passcode-protected iOS devices
    If an iOS device is protected with a passcode, iTunes prompts you to enter the passcode when you connect to your computer. Once you successfully enter the passcode, iTunes will recognize that device as authorized and you will not need your passcode to back up or sync.

  • My ipod is not recognized by my itunes and tells me to uninstall itunes and reinstall. will this erase all of my music?

    my ipod is not recognized by my itunes and tells me to uninstall itunes and reinstall it.  will this erase all of my music?

    Hi braddyloopy,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If you need to uninstall and reinstall iTunes,  your music files should not be erased or affected in any way. It is always a good idea to back up your data before making any changes to your computer, though.
    If you'd like to locate your music, this article explains how to find the files:
    Where are my iTunes files located?

    When you reinstall iTunes, I'd recommend using the method in this article to make sure it's reinstalled completely:
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8

    Forget the Pendrive stategy...
    Before attempting any Major Upgrade... get yourself an External Hard Drive... and create a Bootable Clone Backup of your current Hard Drive...
    By far the easiest way to make such a Backup, is to use something like
    SuperDuper  http://www.shirt-pocket.com/
    or CCC  http://www.bombich.com/
    That way, should anything untoward happen during the Upgrade,
    you will NOT LOSE ANYTHING.
    (Get an EHD that is at least equal to your current Drive...)
    Also, Check here for compatibility of 3rd party Software you may be using...
    http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
    You should also consider more RAM... Get the Maximum you can for your Mac...
    It is important to get the Correct and Matching RAM

  • My iPhone 4s was stolen this weekend and I did the Remote Lock.  What exactly does that do?  Also, if i do the Remote Wipe will that erase all of my data and impede anyone from ever using the phone?

    My iPhone 4s was stolen this weekend and I did the Remote Lock.  What exactly does that do?  Also, if i do the Remote Wipe will that erase all of my data and impede anyone from ever using the phone?

    The remote lock locks the iphone with a passcode that you set. By remote wiping the device it will simply restore it and clear it of all its data, but by doing this it will prevent you tracking it and communicating with it (e.g. remote locking it) in the future

  • If i sync my ipod with another computer to get more music on it. Will it erase all my apps, app data, and pictures?

    If i sync my ipod with another computer to get more music on it. Will it erase all my apps, app data, and pictures?

    All synced media that is not already in the iTunes library on the second computer will be erased. This second computer will be your syncing computer
    You can only sync with one computer/iTunes library.

  • I downloaded Mountain Lion from being on Snow Leopard and lost my entire Office 2004 suite, including Entourage which was my main email server. If I download Office 2008, will I retrieve all my lost Entourage email folders?

    I downloaded Mountain Lion from being on Snow Leopard and lost my entire Office 2004 suite, including Entourage which was my main email server. If I download Office 2008, will I retrieve all my lost Entourage email folders?
    Other options?

    It's not that simple. You didn't lose your Office 2004 suite. Office 2004 won't run in Mountain Lion. You need to update your Office software. You need to purchase either Office 2008 or 2011. Either one can run in Mountain Lion.

  • Got a new macbook, when i sync my iPod, will it erase all my songs

    So will it erase all my songs when i sync it to my new macbook?

    Yes.  An iPod is designed to only sync with one iTunes library/computer at a time.  If you try to sync it with a new computer/iTunes library it will erase what is currently on the iPod and replace it whatever is in the new library empty or not.
    So what'll you want to do is copy all of your content on your iPod to your new Macbook Pro and into iTunes.  You can transfer purchases from the iPod to iTunes via File -> Transfer purchases.  For music outside of iTunes you'll need the help of some sort of third party program such as Senuti to help you get the job done.

  • If I re-install I-Tunes will it erase all my existing tunes?

    Hi
    I've just tried to open up I-Tunes on my laptop, but it's telling me this version is corrupted and to re-install I-Tunes.  Will this erase all my existing tunes and if so, how do I stop this happening?
    Thanks

    Reinstalling iTunes wil not erase your library.
    I am wondering if the iTunes installation is corrupt or if your library is corrunpt. Either way it will not hurt to try and reinstall.
    It is still always a good idea to have a backup.

  • Download iOS 8 once and upgrade all iPhones at home, how?

    Is it possible to download iOS8 only once and use it to upgrade all iPhones at home?  
    I tried the following methods and they are just not working:
    1. Connect an iPhone to the iTunes on Mac.  I chose Download Only. Once downloaded the iPhone Software Upgrade, I upgraded the connected iPhone to iOS8.  Then I connect another iPhone (used to be on another Mac) to the same iTunes.  I had to download iOS 8 again.  It's not using the same downloaded iOS 8 file.
    2. I turned on the Caching Service (not Software Upgrade Service, i.e. for Mac Software) on the Mac Mini Server from the Server app.  I then repeat step 1 above and got the same result.  It seems that the Caching Service does not cache the iOS 8  Software Upgrade like what it does for other apps.  (I think I may need to use some Apple Scripts but I have no such experience.)

    It's for the family.  Every member has 2-3 iOS devices to upgrade.
    I agree with Csound on that, a family, even with a lot of devices will have to individually update.  There are enough nuances in the iOS for different devices that you need to download for each.  If you had 200 iPad 2's then there might be an enterprise way...but not a family with a mix of devices.

  • If I upgrade my 3rd gen iPod touch to iOS 5, will I lose all my content (photos, videos, notes, safari cookies, etc)?

    So I've had my 3rd gen iPod for almost 5 years now, and I'm tired of all the "This applications requires iOS 5.0 or later; you must update to iOS 5.0 in order to download and use this application" notifications, and since I don't have enough money to buy the new iPod, I'm finally upgrading to iOS 5.1.1, the highest I can upgrade this generation.  In the event that it doesn't save my photos (Camera roll and the pictures I put on from my old computer that I don't have anywhere else), I have been uploading them one by one to Dropbox, but this is a pain.  Basically, I'm wondering: if I backup my iPod before upgrading the software, will it reapply all my settings and content after iOS 5 is installed?  I've begun the process before and have gotten the notification that all content will be deleted.  I don't have all this content on my computer, either, because the photo albums on my iPod were folders of pictures on my old computer that I lost all the files from.  I can't just put these back on from my computer if it deletes them and doesn't save a backup copy.  But does it save all the settings in a backup copy and reapply them?  That's what I want to know.  Do I have to keep bothering with Dropbox, or can I just go for it and know everything will be fine?

    Only if something goes astray, which happens some times.
    - Backup the iTunes
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    - Make sure that all synced media like apps and music are in your iTunes library and any photos synced to the iPod are also on your computer. Synced media is not included in the iPod backup that iTunes makes
    Then update vai Tunes
    iOS 4: Updating your device to iOS 5 or later
    You need iTunes 10.5 or later on the computer.
