IOS4 upgrade loses SMS data

It seems that the data restored to my iPhone 3G after the iOS4 upgrade was old/incomplete. Though it ran a backup during the upgrade process, I noticed SMS history for the past 12 hours had been lost. I can't confirm other data recovery issues - SMS was the most obvious and all of my email and contacts exist on other servers that were retrieved after upgrade.

I've also lost all SMS data as part of the upgrade - have tried restore from backup in iTunes and no change. Very very unhappy currently and looking for a solution!

I have just installed 10.7 and bootcamp is no longer visible on my desktop, nor can i start computer in windows mode. I started the bootcamp 4.0 upgrade assistant, but don't want to wipe windows 7 out and lose my data. Any suggestions?

Upgrading from 10.4.11 to 10.5.6 - Will I lose any data or application?

Hi gang,
I forgot that I have a 10.5.6 family upgrade disc. I've upgraded my kid's Mac Mini and was not sure about upgrading my MacBook Pro then.
So I'm thinking I should upgrade my MacBook Pro now but I am not sure if I will lose any data or application (and application specific information). Can you folks please clarify and/or provide best way to perform the upgrade?
I use my MacBook Pro on a daily basis from office document, browsing, audio recording and editing, video editing and photo editing that I can't imagine my MacBook Pro having a problem.
I'm also hoping that with the upgrade, my Superdrive will somehow come back to life and be useful again.
Here's my MacBook Pro info:
Model Name: MacBook Pro
Model Identifier: MacBookPro3,1
Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed: 2.4 GHz
Number Of Processors: 1
Total Number Of Cores: 2
L2 Cache (per processor): 4 MB
Memory: 4 GB
Bus Speed: 800 MHz
Boot ROM Version: MBP31.0070.B07
SMC Version: 1.16f11
Sudden Motion Sensor:
State: Enabled

Unlikely.
That usually means a hardware problem. No operating system update will fix hardware problems.
I'd get it fixed by an authorized service center. If you are in the U.S. there are places that can do it cheaper if you are out of warranty:

Before doing any upgrade, backup your data*:

That way you avoid the risk of losing everything.

ICloud Storage upgrade. Purchased, but keep getting emails. Will I lose my data?

According to the iCloud management page in System Preferences (on my mac) and the Settings page (on my iPhone) I have purchased a 20 gig storage plan for iCloud. But I keep getting emails claiming my free 20 gig storage plan will be downgraded on 9/30/13. How can I be sure I will not lose my data?

Thanks, Roger. Do you think this is true, even though I see this on my phone and get this email? It seems strange (and very bad protocol) that apple would get this specific about the amount of storage I am using, but not monitor whether or not I had purchsed an upgrade. I've been getting these emails daily for the last week.

Do i lose all data when upgrading to Yosemite

Do i lose my data if i upgrade to yosemite from Mavericks or is it like a simple update?

The update should be pretty straight forward. It also depends on some luck, so you might want to have your stuff backed up.

HT1338 if i upgrade my OS will i lose my data?

hey, i want to upgrade my mac from OS lion version 10.7.2 to 10.7.5 , if i download the software would it erase all data i have on my computer (apps, docs, etc) ?
Thank you!

Theoretically, no you don't have to erase and update/upgrade your OS. However you should always back up when upgrading. Through the normal upgrade process your data will preserved, however, there is always a slim chance something could wrong. I would back up your data and upgrade with out worrying too much. I've done plenty of upgrades without any issues.

You shouldn't lose any data when upgrading, but always play it safe and make a backup first.

Being made to lose unlimited data, even though I am paying full price???

I've been around and have been following the discussions/policies about those of us who have unlimited data and how we will lose unlimited data if we purchase a new device taking advantage of the discount pricing. I also know the workarounds of how to keep unlimited data but what I don't understand is this....
I have 3 smartphones, all have unlimited data. 1 of the 3 phones is eligible for an upgrade, 2 of them are not.
While signed into my account, I select the phone that is eligible for an upgrade and go into the ordering system. I select the new phone I want to buy and I have the option before adding the new phone to my cart to either: pay full price, or pay the discounted price. I chose the full price option (and this is the one-time full price, not the monthly payment plan option just to be clear) and then add the new phone to my cart. That's when I get a pop-up window that says my unlimited data plan is no longer available and that I would have to chose a new (capped) data plan. Without making any new choice in this pop-up window, I close the window. I then click through the various pages of the ordering system getting up to the point of reviewing my cart. And at the review cart/review order page, I also see that the system automatically removed my unlimited data plan and slapped on a 2gb individual (not family share) data plan.
So it would clearly seem that if an upgrade is available on a phone and even choosing to pay full price, and purposefully avoiding taking advantage of the upgrade price, the ordering system is all too eager to take that unlimited data plan away EVEN IF you chose the full price option, despite VZW's repeated statements that if you elect to pay the one-time full price you can keep your unlimited data plan. I tried seeking a clarification of this issue with an online chat representative through the chat button in the ordering process and the only solution from the chat rep was to just order the new phone and pay the full price on one of the 2 phones not currently eligible for an upgrade.
So what's your response to this VZW? I would appreciate a policy statement to these issues and this situation.

So I went back into the ordering system today and did the EXACT same steps I did previously by making sure I selected the one-time pay-in-full price, adding the new phone to my cart and walking the ordering system all the way up to the cart and guess what....oh low and behold.....now after posting this message, I am not getting the system prompt I was getting previously about not being able to keep my unlimited data plan (even though I was very precise in confirming my first attempt was at the one-time pay-in-full price the first time which prompted my first post).
So I guess it was just cleaner and less publicly humiliating for VZW to quietly fix their ordering system then it was to acknowledge their ordering system was forcing customers off unlimited data even when the customer was trying to pay full price in one payment for a new phone despite the Company's very public and very on the record statements that customers choosing to pay the one-time pay-in-full price would be able to keep their unlimited plan.

HT201210 In updating my iphone for the new software ios6. An error occurred and now is asking me to restore settings. But I don't want to lose my data

In updating my iphone 5 for the new software ios6. An error occurred and now is asking me to restore settings. But I don't want torestore setting causing not all of my recent data has been synced and I don't want to lose my data. How can I undo this since i did not hit restore settings, yet i can't do any other move without restoring at this point. Any ideas?

You phone is in recovery mode. Your data is already gone.
Why you would attempt a software upgrade without backing up all your data first is beyond me, but to each his own.
In any case, sorry for your data loss.

You should have your data backed up off the computer regardless because even though a OS X upgrade doesn't affect users files, something could go wrong and the only way to fix it would be to erase everything and reinstall from scratch.
And like Neil said, removing OS X itself involves erasing the entire drive or partition and that of course removes programs and files in the process as OS X manages everything.
If your having a problem, there is the #8 Reinstall Just OS X, and this doesn't really erase it, but overwrites the present copy with older one from the 10.6 disk, then you use Software Update under the Apple menu to get back to 10.6.8.
But you should grab a copy of your files off the machine first if possible, because you might be having drive issues.
