If I make space for the 3.1gb needed to upgrade to iOS 7 will I lose that availible memory or does it just need that much initially for the install?

It says in my update section that I will need to make 3.1gb availible for the update. I already am consistently low on memory for my iphone and if that memory will be gone permanently I would rather not even update. I thought that maybe it requires that space to do an install but it won't actually take all of that once it is finished installing and possibly erasing some memory taken up from the old iOS..

So is there anyway to figure out roughtly how much extra memory will be taken up on my phone post upgrade process?
P.S. Thanks for the response!

Software Update Server - Deleting old updates to make space for new ones

On Page 77 of the SystemImage_and_SW_Updatev10.4.pdf Apple recommends "deleting old updates to make space for new ones". I've looked and searched and yet to find a way to do this. The Server Admin interface and the command line options I've looked into don't appear to provide this option.
So I actually tried stopping the server, moving the updates from /usr/share/swupd/html to another location, starting the server, the server wouldn't start, moving the files back again, the server still won't start.
1. Does anyone know how you're supposed to "Delete old updates to make space for new ones"
2. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to get Software Update service running again?

Time Machine deleted my first backup to make space for a new one, is there anyway to recover it?!?!

So I had all my stuff backed up to December 23 on an external hard drive with Time Machine, then I deleted it all so that the next automatic backup didn't have any of these older files. Today Time Machine deleted my original backup to make space for a new one and so I lost Decemer 23, now I am screwed..HELP?? I accidently let it delete or something, I don't really know, I know this was just a series of mistakes and now I'm desparate ):

Have a look at this article http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1427 and section "backup drive fills up".
It's a normal behavior that Time Machine is deleting oldest backups when drive is filling up.

EMERGENCY!!!!!!!!
IS THERE ANY WAY TO RETREIVE AN ACCIDENTALLY DELETED BACK UP FROM MY TIME MACHINE DRIVE????
In other words, I emptied out a folder on my main MAC to make space and the next subsequent backup backed up the EMPTY FOLDER and then deleted the "old backup" that actually contained the contents of the very important folder.
Now only the emptied folder exists on my MAC and in the two backups on my Time machine backup drive.
This was clearly a big mistake on my part not realizing that the "old backup" being deleted by Time Machine would include backed up files that I had no intention of getting rid of....
What can I do now?
Is DATA RETREIVAL even an option?
I am sure that the Folder of files that I need are on the most recently deleted "OLD BACKUP" but how do I get to this, if even possible?????
Super desperate situation here...

It may be possible to recover some of the data, if it hasn't been overwritten, but it won't be cheap or easy.
You've posted in the Time Capsule forum, but you mention a "backup drive." If your backups are on a Time Capsule's internal HD, instead of an external HD, it's even worse.
See Data Recovery.
Good luck.

When I attempt to open iphoto, I get the loading icon in the working space/picture area. If I try to reinstall ilife '11, will I lose any pictures? Where, on the hard drive, are all my pictures actually stored?

You won't lose anything because you have a back up, right?
Most Simple Back Up
Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
Slightly more complex:
Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically. Examples of such apps: Chronosync or DejaVu . But are many others. Search on MacUpdate
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

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\

Restore from your iTune backup.

I bought my Whatsapp from a friend's account, because my account buys only free apps. Thing is, if I updated my iPhone to the new iOS 5, will I lose Whatsapp?!

When installing iOS 5, the iPhone is backed up first (which does not include any iTunes content including 3rd party apps) followed by being completely erased before iOS 5 is installed. This is followed by the backup being restored and all iTunes content in your iTunes library that is selected to be transferred to your iPhone being re-transferred.
If the app is in your iTunes library, you shouldn't lose it, but since this app was downloaded with your friend's iTunes account, I'm not sure how the app wll be re-transferred unless your computer is also authorized with your friend's iTunes account with iTunes.
No promises.

After upgrading to os maverick iPhoto wants to upgrade it says..Your photo library will not be readable by previous versions of iPhoto after the upgrade. What exactly will I lose?

In the current version of iPhoto, nothing.
In previous versions of iPhoto, the ability to access any part of it.
Back it up before doing this.

I want to download the iOS 7.1.1 for the iPhone 4. It says I need 3.8 GB of storage to download. If I make space on my iPhone for the download, once downloaded, will it take up the 3.8 GB of space needed on the iPhone and will I lose that space?

I understand that the new iOS is only 1.1GB, but I don't understand why I need at least 3.8GB of free space on my iPhone to download the new software. I also don't want to lose space on my iPhone from downloading the new software, because 3.8GB is a lot of precious space.
Cheers guys, I would appreciate it if anyone could help me out.

The 3.8 GB is needed to create space for the installation process and saving your data. In the end 7.1.1 replaces the existing iOS and doesn't take up much more space on the phone.
If you lack the download space requirements, update by using iTunes, not over the air.

Before update on an owa.mail site I viewed others' calendars. Since update, it makes space for the other calendar, but doesn't show it. How can I undo the updat

I get my office email online at an owa.mail.com website. I have delegate access to several people's calendars for work. Before the latest update, when I checked the box for someone else's calendar, it would split the calendar space and the other calendar would be next to mine. Since the update, when I click on another calendar, it splits the calendar space the way it used to, but the other calendar doesn't show. I need this for work, so I had to download Opera and it works as it should there. What do I do?

Could you check for a zoom/wrap issue by reducing the zoom level by one or two increments? You can do that by holding the Ctrl key down and tapping the - (minus) key a couple of times. If that makes no difference, you can reset to the default zoom level by holding Ctrl and tapping 0 (zero).
If you haven't tried it, when you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
(1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
(2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site:
* right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
* Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
In the dialog that opens, you can remove the site's cookies individually.
Then try reloading the page. Does that help?

My Tom Tom app can't update as it tells me I haven't enough space for it, how can I make space for the update?

I didn't think that I have that much on my iPad , but I can't seem to understand how to make room for this update. If I delete the app and try to reload it will I have lost this app and data and have to re buy it

Hello there Frenchyfile,
I would suggest freeing up some space on your iPhone either from the Music app, or podcasts with this:
Delete a song from iPhone: In Songs, swipe the song, then tap Delete.
From: iPhone User Guide page 61
          http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
The same steps to delete a podcast apply for the podcasts app.
You can also free space by deleting other Apps on the iPhone
Remove app
If you are having issues with a particular app, try removing the app from your iPhone.
To avoid losing any app data, first back up your information.
Touch and hold any app icon on the Home screen until the icons start to jiggle.
Tap the "x" in the corner of the app you want to remove. You may be prompted to rate the app.
Tap Delete to remove the app and all of its data from your iPhone.
Click the Home button to cancel or stop deleting apps.
Proceed to the next step to reinstall your app.
From: Using apps on your iPhone
          http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/assistant/application/#section_5
Also you can delete photos or videos from your Photos app.
View your Camera Roll album: Swipe to the right, or tap the thumbnail image. You can also view your Camera Roll album in the Photos app.

I want to make space for ios7 update. Can I erase all the photos on my iPad and still get them later via iCloud?

Need more space on iPad. I have all photos backed up on iCloud, but will I be able to access later once I delete them of my iPad?

What I had in mind was when you sync to the computer you transfer the photos fom. Your iPad to the computer. Make sure the photos transfer to the computer then erase what you need to from the iPad. You'll still have the photos on the computer. Then upgrade to iOS 7 through the cloud and not do it through the computer and iTunes. Hopefully with the photos gone you'll have enough space to upgrade.

If I make space for the 3.1gb needed to upgrade to iOS 7 will I lose that availible memory or does it just need that much initially for the install?
