If I force quit will I lose my data

Really need help as I am panicking..I opened a PDF in safari which opened in a new window and ever since that happened I cannot access any safari windows. I have 2 Safari windows opened with multiple tabs and that one PDF window opened. I NEED the two windows with all the tabs. If I force quit will I lose everything? And what about if I just shut down my computer.. will I lose it all or when it restarts will everything pop back up?

When you Force Quit an application, unsaved changes in the current session will be lost.
Previously saved state will remain.
More about Force Quit from Apple:
"Using the Force Quit feature of OS X makes an application close, even when it is not responsive.
Important: Normally you should not need to force quit an app to close it. When an app is forced to quit, any unsaved changes to open documents are not saved, so try these methods to normally close the app first:"

My keynote is frozen and i didn't save the presentation, if i force quit will i lose my work?

my keynote is frozen and i didn't save the presentation, if i force quit will i lose my work?

Yes, any work that didn't save from the built-in saves of the program (if any were turned on). You should regularly save documents you modify before working with them live. Since this question is related to Keynote, I've asked this thread be moved to:
Keynote for Mac
Where more people might know if there are workarounds or temporary file locations that might save information that you can recover.
It may vary by version, as Apple started making a new feature called Versions available that saves every change as it is made.

If I force quite will i lose my photos in album

I'm trying to make a slide show. Application is not responding. If Iforce quite iPhoto, will I lose the photos in my album?

Hard to say but if you have to force quit then you have to do it - if you are luck you will lose nothing - if you are unlucky then you will have to go back to you backup from before this occurred - but you have no choice if you have to force quit

What version of OS X are you using? If Yosemite, you need to update to 10.10.1 or higher.
In any case, start by going to the editor preferences>general, clicking this button and restarting the editor:

Other than the keyboard & mouse, disconnect all devices from your iMac.
Check out: Troubleshoot the spinning beach ball/freezing & crashing and Troubleshoot the spinning beach ball. Not sure if you have tried everything mentioned in these articles. If you have, and no one else can come up w/any suggestions, then it's time to lug your iMac to your local AS or an AASP. Diagnostic testing is FREE!!!

Will I lose my data when I update to ios 7?

Will I lose my data when I update to ios 7 on my ipad2? If so, what data and what should I do?

Nothing should be lost... However...
It is both Prudent and Recommended to Backup Before any Update or Upgrade.

HT1296 was using my daughters itunes account and now have my own. If I "erase and sync" will I lose my data from my purchased games? I have transferred apps and backed up to my computer.

One computer iTunes can support multiple Apple IDs. One iPod can also support multiple IDs. Don't do an "erase and sync." Simply add your Apple ID to the computer's iTunes and to the iPod. The only nuisance is app updating, especially if you do the updates from the computer, rather than from the iPod.

HT1212 If I never synced to itunes and I restore the device. Will I lose unstored data? How can I check to see the last time my phone was backed up if I forgot the passcode to my phone?

If I never synced to itunes and I restore the device. Will I lose unstored data? How can I check to see the last time my phone was backed up if I forgot the passcode to my phone?

If you can't remember your passcode, you'll need to restore your phone. If you never synched to iTunes, all data on your phone will be erased. No way around this.

If I restore my iPad will I lose my data plan?

I am planning to back up my iPad and restore it to lend to a friend for a week. I'm gonna buy a data plan for him, but when I restore from the backup will I lose my data plan

If you restore your iPad, everything will be deleted but your data plan won't be modified. You will keep it because it has nothing to do with the iPad

If I update my 4th gen ipod to the iOS 5, will I lose the data on my apps?

If I update my 4th gen ipod to the iOS 5, will I lose the data on my apps?

If everthing goes as planned, your app date wil be restored to the iPod. To help guard againste a possible mishap. sync (iTunes also creates a backup) the iPod before the udate and caopy the backup file to a save location in case something happens. The backup is located here:
Where iTunes backups are stored on your computer
The folder where your backup data are stored varies depending on the computer's operating system. Make sure the backup folder is included in your periodic data-backup routine.
iTunes places the backup files in the following places:
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\

Will i lose my data after re-installing my iphone ?

Last night i updated my iphone and i was unaware that its not a Factory Unlock cellphone. Now my iphone got locked. Will i lose my data if i re-install ios or can i restore my data after re-installing ? Please help as i dont wana lose my data. 2nd i dont have backup of my data too

If there was a backup created prior to doing the update this will be available to you after the update .
If you did not backup the data to itunes, there may have been a back up created in icloud.
Without a created back up from either icloud or itunes your data will be lost.

Will I lose my data if I restore my iPad

If you restore the iPad to your last backup then you will lose any content you've added or changes that you've made since you took that backup i.e. it will put back to how it was at the time of that backup

HT1212 Using the "if you have never synched with itunes" instructions, will I lose all data on the phone? That is the most important information, how to recover the data. The phone is fungible.

Using the "if you have never synched with itunes" instructions, will I lose all data on the phone? That is the most important information, how to recover the data. The phone is fungible.

Thanks @ KiltedTim, but losing "only" any data is really not acceptable and, in this case, the phone had not been backed up, but thanks for taking the time. Also, yes, fungible means what I think it means. An iphone is a completely substitutible commodity, unlike my data, so instructions that inform me as to how to fix a phone I could replace for a small sum of money while failing to address the more important issue of the data are almost useless - they potentially save me the $99 it would cost me to replace the phone if I were so inclined to trust another apple product. Not worth the hour it took to find them or the 35 minutes on the phone to confirm my suspicions about the data.

I changed my Apple ID but my iCloud didn't change to the new ID. If I delete the old iCloud will I lose all data on my iPod ?

- Go to Settings>iCloud. Scroll to to bottom of the screen and tap the delete button. The effect all the services listed in Settings>iCloud like Notes, Contact and Calendar.
- You may be offered the option to retain that data on the iPod. Otherwise it gets deleted.
It does not effect synced media like apps and music purchased with the account..
Note that purchases made with an Apple ID are locked to the ID that purchased them. To update apps you have to sing into the account that purchased them

Will i lose any data on my iphone if i didnt update it

Until you do update, Apple will hire a high school girls clique to follow you around, make fun of you & post disparaging comments on Facebook .
