If i run a combo updater to fix a issue will i lose everything?

Hi, I deleted my app store and i was wondering if i run the combo updater will i lose everything? itunes iphoto email etc? i dont have an external hard drive handy so just curious
thanks

There are currently three general methods; external hard or flash drives, burnable DVDs, and storage in the cloud. While other data storage methods exist, they don't have enough capacity for a large amount of data.

Mail on my iPad 2 is no longer working after latest update. If I delete the account and reinstate it will I lose everything that was there before?

Mail on my iPad 2 has stopped working since the latest update. The symbol is on the screen in its' usual place but it either opens briefly, just showing the blank framework for Mail before suddenly quitting, or all the App symbols disappear completelly from the screen. I'm not confident that i know what to do! If I delete the account and reinstate it will I lose everything that was there before? Looking at an earlier question along the same lines it doesn't appear that that would make a difference. If I reset the whole thing will I lose all my documents, photos etc.?
i'd be extremely grateful for some clear guidance!

(A) Try reset iPad
Hold the Sleep/Wake and Home button down together until you see the Apple Logo.
Note: Data will not be affected.
(B) Close all apps in the multi-task window
1.Double-click the Home button.
2. Swipe the app's preview up to close it.
3. Preview will fly off the screen.

Will I lose everything in my iTunes on my old computer if I update it and I haven't updated it in a while?

Will I lose everything in my iTunes on my old computer if I update it and I haven't updated it in a while?

No. However, the fact that you would ask indicates that you are not maintaining a reliable backup.
Make a backup of your valuable files now. That is more important than updating iTunes.

What does it mean when my ipad is in Recovery mode? It's connected to my imac for software update and it says I must "restore" the ipad before itunes can be used. Will I lose everything on my ipad?

Unless you have a backup from which you can restore, yes you will lose all of your data and settings.
You should be able to sync your content back to the iPad if you have been syncing with iTunes all along. If you don't sync with iTunes, you can download much of your paid content again for free as long as you use the same Apple ID. This explains downloading past purchases.

Unfortunately, at this point, you must restore the device before you can move on. There is nothing you can do to avoid it now.

If i update my OS to iOS5 will i lose all my contacts and everything

if i update my OS to iOS5 will i lose all my contacts and everything

Updaing iPhone software does not touch any user data or settings. However, sync BEFORE you update. This will create a current iPhone backup. Also make sure that ALL content on your phone is either in your iTunes library or supported applications on your computer. That way, if something were to go wrong(rare), you can easily restore all of your data & content.

It's in recovery mode. You don't have a choice. Anything that was on the phone is already gone. If you didn't back it up, there is no way to recover it.

If I reset my iPad in order to fix my email problem, will I lose everything on it....like my books?

If I reset my iPad to fix a email problem will I lose everything on it.....like books?

If you reset by pressing and holding the home and power buttons for at least 10 seconds until the Apple Logo appears, you won't lose anything at all. It's nothing more than rebooting your iPad, like rebooting your computer.

HT1222 If I update my iPad will I lose everything on it?

If I update my iPad will I lose everything on it?!

Backup your iPad first and if something goes wrong, you can restore from the backup, I have never, ever lost anything when I updated any of my iDevices going back to iOS 3.x and I am now on iOS 6.1 the very latest iOS on my Pad 3.
What you should do anytime that you update the device is to transfer purchases from the iPad into iTunes - File>Transfer Purchases - and you should backup the iPad as well. When you update the update the device, if something goes wrong, you can restore from the backup.
If you have any other important files, you may want to transfer them to your computer as well, prior to the update.
Transfer purchases.

ITunes quits during update. Will I lose everything during recovery?

So I connected my iphone 5 to my laptop to upgrade it to iSO 7.0.2. I did what I usually do right before updating it: I transfer my purchases and I sync/back up my phone. Now I begin the update but then iTunes gets an error and quits on me. So I reopened it and it says my iPhone is in recovery mode. It's telling me I must restore my iPhone and it warns me that, since it's being restored to its factory setting, all my media and other data will be erased. "After this process is complete you will have the option to store your contacts, calenders, text messages and other settings."
So I was wondering, since I backed everything up...will I really still lose everything?? Even my photos?

Hello aimhsar,
You should be able to restore your data and as long as you let it sync all the way through after it restarts, you should not lose any data.

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.

If I update a book in iBooks will I lose my highlights/notes?

If an author updates a book purchased from iBooks will I lose the highlights or notes I have made in the current version? For example, if I own edition 1.0 of a book and the author provides a free upgrade to edition 1.1 will the highlights or notes I have made in 1.0 disappear?

No.
You need to mount a vocal campaign on your own to alert them all to go get the new version and delete the old, unless of course they need to keep the old one around, say, for notes and such.

HT4623 Update is forcing me to restore. I did not do backup. Will I lose everything?

i ran the update on my 4s but it wont power back on. It has a symbol of usb connecting to itunes. itunes is telling me that the only option I have is to restore to factory. I did not back it up before I ran the update. Do I lose everything now including photos? Thanks

Yes, if it is in recovery mode, everything has already been lost.
Why would you do an update without doing a backup first?

Ntlmaps not running after recent update. (FIXED)

FIXED - Ended up re-writing MAKEPKG, depends, modified patches file and new MD5 sums to build on Python 2.7. Instructions below for anyone who needs them. Cheers - Arkay.
Hi All,
I use ntlmaps in conjunction with corkscrew to create ssh tunnels out through my work proxy to my home network. It's always worked perfectly fine until a recent pacman -Syu.
From looking into it as much as I can it appears that Python 3 has been pulled into the mix where ntlmaps appears only to work with python 2.
In the original effort to fix it I updated to the latest MAKEPKG in the AUR which also doesn't seem to work with either version of Python.
I've attempted to debug the issues in Python though my knowledge of the language is sorely lacking.
The initial error I get is:
File "/usr/bin/ntlmaps", line 31
print 'NTLM authorization Proxy Server v%s' % conf['GENERAL']['VERSION']
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
But the code block above appears ok to me. On further investigation (running it line by line in interactive mode), it appeared to be the includes causing the issue at which point I found dos line endings on all the code in the site-python ntlmaps code. After removing all of them and converting back to unix eol's (didn't seem to really make a difference), I still get the same syntax errors. Further looking finds includes to libraries which possibly no longer exist or are depreciated in python 3. "threads" seems to be the main offender, according to the doco it is depreciated but should still work (tm).
I'm pretty much at a loss as to what to do next. I've tried swapping to cntlm but for some reason our proxy won't allow the connections through the way ntlmaps does.
I also just tried to re-install it with aurget. The makepkg worked but the install script failed with:
Byte compiling python modules...
error: command failed to execute correctly
Looking into that now too...
Any help would be much appreciated. Perhaps someone else can attempt to install and run it on their system.
Cheers,
Arkay.
P.S. My system is i686, recently updated.
P.P.S. Apologies to the mods. This should most likely be in the PKGBUILD forms... Please move and remove this P.P.S

Ok. For some reason I haven't (yet) been able to get the PKGBUILD working with python 3.
I have however updated everything to work as expected with python 2.7 (specifically ntlmaps-0.9.9.0.1 under python2 2.7-2).

Is there going to be another software update to fix wifi issues?

Since updating to the latest software I have not been able to get any wifi at home or in town, the message I get says it cannot scan for networks, I have tried everything suggested to me and now I have to hope there will be a software fix soon because I know other folks are having wifi problems too.

Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
