Files no, but if they depend upon software that there is no version for 10.7 then they won't open.
Apps yes, if they are not Intel processor versions or updated to work with 10.7

Music no, as you can always use those just about anywhere, the only exception is if you purchased copy protected music and the program required to play it hasn't been updated for 10.7, much like your files.

  • If I upgrade my macbook pro from snow leopard 10.6.8 to mountain lion, will I lose any current software, files, or need to reinstall or reset anything?

    I want to be sure that I won't lose things like microsoft office (I need excel for work) or my word files. Will I lose anything by upgrading to mountain lion? will I need to reinstall things or spend a lot of time restoring and resetting to get things set up as I have them now?

    Probably not. Back up your computer first, and ensure that your applications are compatible wih Mac OS X 10.8; Microsoft Office 2004 and earlier aren't.

  • I have the Iphone 4s.  If I try to download the iOS 7, will this affect any of the apps I already have.  (I have an app with a lot of my baby's information that I don't want to lose)

    I have the Iphone 4s.  If I try to download the iOS 7, will this affect any of the apps I already have.  (I have an app with a lot of my baby's information that I don't want to lose).  Or is iOS 8 better to download?

    My biggest suggestion would be to check and make sure that the app works with iOS 8. If their app is not compatible, then there is a possibility that the app will crash every time you open it or some other way that makes the app unusable and then you would be unable to access that data. As long as the app is compatible with iOS 8 then updating your OS shouldn't cause you to lose any of the information within the app. As others are suggested, make sure you have a backup but just note that once you update to iOS 8 you cannot revert back to an older version. Find out if your app has any way to export the information to another format that you can save and access via a computer before updating.
    And what app have you seen that works in iOS 7 that doesn't work in iOS 8?

  • 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.

  • I need to upgrade my Macbook Pro from 10.4.11 to Snow Leopard. Will I lose any files on my drive if I do that?

    I have a Macbook Pro running 10.4.11. I am trying to upgrade from that to Snow Leopard then to 10.7.5. I know that I have to do it in steps. My question ins this. I have a Snow Leopard disk that came with my Imac that I can use to upgrade my laptop. When I go through the process, it says something about using Timeline to restore. Am I going to lose all of my files? All I need is for the OS to be updated. Will it be safe to go through with it or will I lose all of my files on the drive. Any answers to this question are much appreciated.

    You can't use the Mac OS X disc that came with another computer to upgrade another Mac because it's not supported. Buy Snow Leopard > http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    You shouldn't lose data, but you must make a backup before

  • HT1311 To create a new apple ID, if I sign out of the current Apple ID account, and then sign in with a newly created account, will I lose any songs or apps on my phone or computer that were downloaded from the old apple ID?

    To create a new apple ID, if I sign out of the current Apple ID account, and then sign in with a newly created account, will I lose any songs or apps on my Iphone and Macbook Pro computer that were downloaded from the old apple ID?

    No, you will not loose anything.  However, if you ever need to update any of that previously purchased content, or re-download it, you will have to use the older AppleID.  Purchases are permanently tied to the AppleID you use when making the purchase.

  • 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 restore my iPhone from last night's iCloud back up will I lose any new messages or info saved since the back up was done?

    I just updated to iOS 7.0.4 and I had to delete most of my photos to have enough space to perform the update. I did an iCloud back up last night that has all deleted photos. If I restore the most recent back up will I lose any new messages that I have sent or received since the back up was done last night?

    Yes. Restoring to a backup takes the phone back to the date and time of the backup and anything done since that time is lost, with the exception of your update to iOS.

  • I'm worried about what will happen if I delete my recent backup data from the phone I still own? Will I lose any progress in games that was saved in the backup?

    I'm worried about what will happen if I delete my recent backup data from the phone I still own? Will I lose any progress in games that was saved in the backup?
    I have an iPhone 4S and I keep getting those irritating notifications that tell me I need to upgrade my storage or free up space. I've deleted all I can from my music and photos without losing too many precious memories, but it's come to the point where I think I need to delete backups. However, I'm just worried that I will lose all and any log-in information that I don't remember and app/game progress that was saved to the iCloud. Please Tell me what will happen/what I can do?

    If you are asking what happens when you delete an iCloud backup, it only deletes the backup from your account.  It won't do anything to the data on your phone or in your iCloud account.  If you don't need to backup you can delete it.  (If you no longer want to back up your phone to iCloud, turn iCloud backup off in Settings>iCloud>Backup.  Then your phone will back up to your computer each time you sync it with iTunes.)

  • How do I delete my old iPhone backup since I can not back up my new phone.  Will I lose any pictures?  Can you ever see what is actually on the cloud? Last, how do I delete the old iPhone back up.  Thanks, been trying to do this for a long time.

    Deleting the backup only permanently deletes the backup from iCloud.  It doesn't do anything to the data currently in your account or on your devices.  To delete it, go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage, tap the name of the device that you want to delete the backup for, then tap Delete Backup.
    You can't see anything in an iCloud backup, if that's want you're asking.  You can only restore it to your device.  You can, of course, see your other iCloud data.

  • When you upgrade from iPhone 3 to 4, will you lose any existing texts you have saved?

    When you upgrade from iPhone 3 to 4, will you lose any existing texts you have saved?

    That does do that. However it is a temporary backup and not the most reliable. Make sure you also go into file > Transfer purchases from _______ to make sure you save your music and apps. though the article that wjosten posted is correct for the backup as well. But article HT1414 is better for info on backing up.
