If i update my iPhone 4S to latest version will the contacts gets erased?

If i update my iPhone 4S to latest version will the contacts gets erased? I have not taken back-up of the contacts!
I dont have an Outlook to take back-up. Is there any other means to back-up?

Hi there,
While the iOS updates aren't designed to erase your information, it is always a good idea to back up your information just in case the process doesn't go too smoothly. Take a look at the article below for information on how to back up your device to iTunes as well as some information on what gets backed up. I've also included an article that goes over how to update your device once you do have it backed up.

Hope that helps,

It is prohibited under the terms of Use to offer support or discuss jailbreaking. Sorry, but no one can help you so there is little point posting the same question more than once.

if you have tried ALL suggestions then your phone is obviously broken beyond reparing by user

restore iphone error 36

If I download the latest version will the browsing history of my existing version be lost or will it remain.

For various reasons I wish to retain my long term browsing history. I am concerned that if I download the latest version this history will be lost. Can anyone help.
Thx

hello Mugwumps, in principle it should work, but since you're using such an outdated version i don't think this particular update path is something that has been tested.
just to be sure, i'd recommend creating a backup of your profile (which contains all personal data including your history) before you continue with the upgrade: [[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]

TS3694 I tried to update my iphone 4 to latest version, I used to have phone jailbroken but deleted it recently is this preventing me from updating? All that is showing on my phone is flashing apple

I need some help can't get my phone back on, wont let me update or even restore

That is most likely your problem. And you can't get help for a jailbroken phone in an Apple-hosted forum. You can try a DFU restore (Google will help you find it).

I have just updated my iPhone 4 with latest IOS 7 and now wi fi greyed out and Bluetooth not working. Tried reset, restore everything - no use. Its out of warranty too. I refuse to pay for a new phone when clearly this is an apple issue not phone issue.

Can anyone help? I updated my iPhone 4 with latest iOS 7 and now wi fi is greyed out, Bluetooth won't work and tbh am so angry! Phone now out of warranty so apple won't help without it costing me. Don't want to pay as its an apple problem not phone problem. It worked ok before. Tried everything, even clearing it down. Can't even back it up now unless I connect to a pc!

I have not had wifi since November when I upgraded to the newest IOS version. I called the Apple help line and they told me some things to do and I tried them all and they worked for a few hours and then wifi shut off again. I kept doing what they told me and it worked for a couple more days and then I could never turn it on again. My blue tooth doesn't work either. I had to actually increase my data usage with AT&T becuase of this. When I did that in December I went to the Apple store and was told that it is a hardware issue and since my phone is out of warranty I would have to pay for a new phone because they could not fix the issue. My upgrade isn't up until June 2014 so not only do I have to wait for the upgrade and I am not paying for a new phone but I have to pay $10 plus extra a month on my cell phone bill because I was going over on my Data!!! I have been beyond upset about this and Apple is not doing anything about this nor did they offer up some way to resolve the issue because obviously it is not just some rare incident if several people are having this issue. Who knows how many people out there have had this issue and have not said anything about it. Now there is a newer update that I can't do because it requires wifi in order to download.
June can not get here fast enough and I may not go back to Iphone after dealing with this for so long with no help from Apple.

What version of iTunes do you have installed? If you are trying to update to iOS 6 you need iTunes 10.7 or later.

How do I update my iPhone 3G firmware but not to the latest version?

How do I update my iPhone 3G firmware but not to the latest version?
I currently am running 3.1 but would like to update it to the 4.1 version (not the latest 4.3 version). How do I do this? I have already gone online and downloaded the 4.1 firmware for iPhone 3G but not sure how to install it. I unzipped the file then tried to do the Shift>Update trick but none of the downloaded files could be selected. Am I doing something wrong?

There is no official way to do what you want, that's why the files can't be selected. iOS 4.2.1 is the last officially signed firmware available for your phone. If you want to install any other firmware you'll have to go elsewhere for instructions as such cannot be discussed here, per this forum's terms of use, sorry.

Hello micojen1920
If you are having an issue with updating your iPhone, try it through a different method like in iTunes or through software update on your iPhone in settings. If that does not work then follow the steps in the article below to force a restore on your iPhone. Make sure to back up first and you can always restore from that back up once your iPhone is up to date. The second article will assist you with the back up and restore process.

Is it safe to update my iPhone 4 16gb Softbank Locked to the latest OS? I'm hesitating to update its OS because I heard it might be permanently locked and I can't use it even as an iTouch. Please confirm!

Is it safe to update my iPhone 4 16gb Softbank Locked to the latest OS? I'm hesitating to update its OS because I heard it might be permanently locked and I can't use it even as an iTouch. I understand that Softbank locked iPhone can never be unlocked, but not using this as a phone. I'm using this as an itouch.
Please confirm if I can update its OS? or what happens when i Update its OS.

If you are just using the device as an iPod touch, it won't matter if you update it, so long as you still have a Softbank SIM in the device. It doesn't have to be active, but you will need it to activate the device after you update the firmware. It won't be locked to where it cannot be used as a Touch, unless you consider not activating it, but that is something you can still do.

Hi, i tried updating my iPhone IOS with latest sw update. I download latest update and then tried to install it. This immediately shut down my iPhone & the icon on screen showed iTune logo & data cable. I havent connected to iTunes yet as i want to know how to backup my data on phone before i complete the update process on iTunes. waiting for suggestions. Thanks

If you are now seeing a screen with the USB cable and an iTunes logo, you'll need to connect your iPhone to a computer with iTunes installed, provided the data on your iPhone hasn't already been lost it should back-up once it's connected in iTunes.

Steve

Before updating my iPhone 4S, I could double click the home button, and delete all of the previously opened apps. I am not able to figure out to do that now, after installing the latest update. Does anyone know how to do this?
