If I upgrade to iOS 5, will my music stay untouched?

I want to upgrade to iOS5, but my family owns several computers and my 16GB of music is spread out everywhere, so redoing everything would be a hassle. If I update my software from 4.3.5 to 5.0 through iTunes, will my music library be left in peace?

before you update....backup first....for me...when i update my device to ios 5...it just backup itself before it updates....after that updating to ios 5....choose to restore from backup when itunes asks you how your device be restored to registered...then choose your backup....

I have an Iphone 4 with ios 4.3.3 bb 4.10.01 and its factory unlocked. If I upgrade it to a new Ios 5, will I loose my unlock??
I know that factory unlocked iphones dont loose unlock if they are upgraded but I heard that IOS 5 will lock the factory unlocked also.

You heard wrong. IF the device is officially unlocked by Apple, it will not be relocked. IF it was hacked to be unlocked, upgrading iOS WILL relock the device to the original carrier.

Since my upgrade to IOS 6, cannot control music from car stereo

Since upgrading to IOS 6 I cannot control the music from my car stereo, nor are the artist, song, or album names no longer displayed. Worked with IOS 5.

Do you drive a BMW? If so, my friend has the same problem. It is a problem with your car's software, probably, not the iPhone.

Will the music stay on iPod?

My sister recently broke her external hard drive, luckily she has most of her music available to download from iCloud with iTunes match but there are a lot of the songs that still say waiting in the iCloud status.
The music she can't download is still on her iPod and she's not too bothered about getting the files back, will the songs stay on the iPod even though the track in iTunes has an exclamation mark next to it and not on the computer?

If you using the iPod in manual update mode, your iPod is safe from being accidentally erased when you connect to an empty iTunes. However if your iPod is set to automatically update you will get a message that your iPod is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, click *No*. Pressing "Yes" will irretrievably remove all songs from your iPod.
You can use a keyboard command to prevent your iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on Windows hold down the Shift + Ctrl keys (on a Mac hold down the Option and Command (⌥ and ⌘) keys). This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 10 to 30 seconds depending on your computer. Then go to Preferences>iPod and check the "Manually manage songs and playlists" box: Managing Your Songs Manually
In addition to the articles you have read, there are a number of third party utilities you can use to retrieve the files from your iPod. This is just a selection.
iPod Access Mac and Windows Versions
YamiPod Mac and Windows Versions
PodUtil Mac and Windows Versions
iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions
PodPlayer Windows Only
PodPlus Windows Only
Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these, they are generally quite straightforward. There is also a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive on Windows posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
If you choose one of these retrieval methods, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync again.

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!

Upgrade to iOS 6 - Will there be Siri on an iPod Touch?

With iOS 6, Siri understands more languages, works in more countries and is available on the new iPad. So you can get more things done in more places around the world. Want to know the latest scores and stats for your favourite teams and players? Thanks to iOS 6, Siri knows the answers. Or maybe it’s film night. Have Siri help you find restaurants by cuisine, price, location, outdoor seating or a combination of choices. Siri will show you photos, Yelp stars, price range and reviews. Open your apps for you — no tapping required. Say "Launch Flight Tracker" or "Open Where’s My Water" and Siri does just that. You can even use Siri to post Facebook updates and tweet for you too.
"Does that mean that it will only be on iPad 3g. Or will it be on iPod Touch 4g as well ?? "

Apple says:
Siri will be available only on iPhone 4S and iPad (3rd generation) and requires Internet access. Siri may not be available in all languages or all areas, and features may vary by area. Cellular data charges may apply.

Hey gang, since upgrading to iOS 6 my unlock swipe stays frozen for several seconds longer than normal, is there a fix?

Since upgrading my ipad to iOS 6 my unlock swipe key stays frozen for much longer than before, is there a fix?

First try Resetting it: Hold down the sleep and home buttons, wait for the Apple logo, let go of the buttons.
If that does not work restore it from your backup in itunes.

Upgraded to ios 6 and my music wont transfer from iTunes to iPod

I upgraded to ios6 and plugged it into my laptop. I had all of my 4000 songs on iPod before I plugged it into iTunes. I had no problem before and it synced just fine. I had all my music on the iPod Touch. It synced my movies and apps, but won't sync my music. What gives?

Ok so I fixed my problem. It actually, for some weird reason, only loaded one song onto my iPod when I initially synced to iTunes. I was thinking it loaded all of my Apps and Movies FIRST and didn't load my music until last and didn't have enough room (?), (My 64GB iPod was pretty close to full as it was), I suspect, so I told iTunes which movies and apps to NOT load this time (unchecked the ones I didn't want- you don't lose them BTW, just won't load to iPod) and made room for my music.
At least iTunes still had all my music but the iTunes to iPod wouldn't download all my music. So in the screen in iTunes on the tab for music, I told it to erase my library on my iPod, (which was only one song anyway), and then told it to upload my library again and everything was fine.
I think your problem was it didn't complete the software upgrade because the download to your iPod got cut off from WI-FI. Did you upload all of your music to iCloud? Maybe that is the root of your problem. I too tried out the iMatch and didn't like it because I had to have internet connection all the time to be able to listen to my music. I was able to revert back to the original at least. (A waste of $25). I'm sure you still have your music library on your computer in your default music folder: (C:\Users\Andre\Music\iTunes\iTunes Music). So don't worry, it should still be there. The trick now is getting all your music back onto the iPod.
Good luck. Wish I could help you more.

Does Home Share only work when you are at home? Or once you've shared will the music stay on the computer you've shared it with?

I want to use Home Share to share music in i-Tunes between my desk top and my laptop. Does it work once you're not in the same house?

If you use home sharing to transfer music to your laptop, it stays on the laptop and you can take it anywhere.
Look at Understanding Home Sharing: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3819 where it says "With Home Sharing, you can stream music and video from one authorized computer to another, or simply drag music between computer libraries. You can also choose to have iTunes automatically import purchases you make on any of your Home Sharing computers to your own library."

Will my upgrade to ios 6 delete my stuff

I was wondering if my upgrade to IOS 6 will delete my stuff

Yes. First you must sync your device and create a saved backup, then update.

After upgrading to iOS 7.0.2 earphones remote doesn't start playback if Music app is not running.

After upgrading to iOS 7.0.2 music doesn't start playing if Music app is not running. Before the update it was common thing to plug earphones, click remote button and listen to your music without even unlocking your iPhone. Control Center controls doesn't work at all.

iPhone required a proper restart. After restart both issues were gone.

Music albums purchased in March are no longer in my iPad and iPod after upgrading to iOS 7 why?

After upgrading to iOS 7 all the music albums purchased in March are no longer in the iPad or the iPod although in the iTunes Store are shown as purchased. How I can get them back?

Your original post:
I upgraded an iPad 2 to iOS 7 and since then SIRI no longer works when pressing the HOME button. The settings for SIRI has also disappeared in the GENERAL settings. I have searched and found no posts with this issue!

Perhaps it might help if you posted your model number as it seems unclear which iPad you actually have. Settings>General>About
Best of luck.

HT201077 Since upgrading to IOS 7'photos taken on my iPhone are not transferring to the cloud. Sometimes a few will up load but then nothing for weeks. Anyone else had this problem

Since upgrading to IOS 7 the photographs I take on my iPhone 4S do not transfer to the cloud. Sometimes one or two of them transfer but then none for weeks. I have deleted photos from the cloud in case it is full but to no affect. I use my iPhone in conjunction with an iPad so this is driving me mad. Anyone else have this problem?

No you're not the only one having this problem in fact many people are having it I spoke to Apple support today about it. First it is my opinion the aspect ratio is different on iPhone 4s compared to iPhone 5s, however I really feel it is a software issue. Just to make sure I am having the same problem you are I will describe my issue. I Have confirmed the following: if I Center an object on my iPhone 4s screen and open the picture while I am still in the app (open on the bottom left it)looks fine. But when I open camera roll and open that particular picture it's also fine
Until I scroll left or right it pulls the image to the left side appearing to cut off the left side of the image. After talking to Apple support today and my knowledge with Apple products I strongly suspect this is a software issue. Apple asked me to do a restore as a new phone but I'm not going to go through all that nonsense when I believe it's a software issue and not a hardware issue. So again to recap to answer your question you're not alone, theses sort of things are expected when they rollout a new iOS just hang in there and let's see if they put a patch out for next update.

I have a "company provided Ipad" now using IOS 6.1.3. the company Will allow me to upgrade to IOS 7 but not to IOS 8. Is that possible?

I have a "company provided Ipad" now using IOS 6.1.3. the company Will allow me to upgrade to IOS 7 but not to IOS 8. Is that possible?

No, since the iPad 2 is iOS 8 compatible it can only be updated to iOS 8. Apple does not support upgrading to interim iOS versions, and removes those files from the servers when a new version is released. The only path for that iPad 2 is iOS 8.0.2.

If I connect my iPod Touch to iTunes on my MacBook Pro will it upgrade to iOS 5 automatically or can I refuse the upgrade and sync to iTunes anyway?

I had my iPod synced with iTunes on my iBook (OS 10.4.11) and then the iBook crashed and I had to replace it with a MacBook Pro (OS 10.6.8). I want to transfer all of the stuff on my iPod to my iPhone 4S through the MacBook Pro. But, I do not want to upgrade the iPod iOS (4.1) because my wife will use it with her iMac (OS 10.4.11). She has no interest in upgrding the iMac OS to support iOS 5. Can I sync the iPod with iTunes on the MacBooK Pro without upgrading the iOS from 4.1 to 5.? This will let me go back to the iMac and sync the iPod with it. I only need to do this once to offload everything on the iPod to the MacBook Pro and then to the iPhone. I'm very reluctant to try this for fear of ending up with an iPod that won't sync with the iMac. Thanks for any help you can offer.

It will never automatically update. You always will ahev to tell it to update. it will never update unless you tell it to.
The pics and music sync is one way - computer to ipod. The only exception is itunes purchases. The ipod is not a backup device.
Cop everything from your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.

If I upgrade to iOS 5, will my music stay untouched?
