  • 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.

  • Disabled ipod and the computer it was in sync with is broken...will I lose everything?

    My daughter's ipod touch has been disabled.  My problem is that I never did sync this ipod with my new and only computer.  Will she lose everything if a reset?

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

    Thanks for answer

    If you go to Apple, they will not replace your battery, but exchange your iPod for a refurbished iPod of the same model with a new battery.  Therefore you will lose everything that is not backed up.  If you change it yourself or have a third party change it, you will most likely not lose anything (but still best to make a backup as lllaass suggested).

    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.

  • TS1363 my phone crashed earlier today, i did update it to iOS5 around July 14, if i restore from my iTunes acct on home computer will i lose everything?

    my iphone 3gs crashed today, if i restore will i lose everything on it?

    Once the Device is asking to be Restored with iTunes... it is too late to save anything...
    To minimise loss... Connect to iTunes on the computer you Usually Sync with and Restore from the most recent Backup...

  • If I upgrade to this will I lose everything on my computer that is saved?

    if I upgrade to this will I lose everything on my computer that is saved?

    Since you are posting on the Snow Leopard forum I will assume you are asking about an "upgrade" to SL form Tiger or Leopard.  The answer is no.  Upgrading does not erase apps, data, docs etc.
    That being said, it is always good practice to back up your files before doing an upgrade.  Better safe than sorry.  External hard drives are dirt cheap.

  • If I download itunes on a new computer will I lose everything in my library

    If I install Itunes on a new computr=er will I lose everything I've purchased?

    Your iTunes library is not part of the iTunes software download. It resides locally on your computer.
    You need to transfer your iTunes library from the old computer to the new one.
    Copy the whole iTunes folder in Music on the old computer to the same location (Music) on the new computer, replacing the iTunes folder that was created during the iTunes install.
    iTunes folder locations for Windows:
    Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\{username}\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\
    Windows Vista: C:\Users\{username}\Music\
    Windows 7: C:\Users\{username}\My Music\
    Windows 8: C:\Users\{username}\My Music\

  • Laptop synced to iPhone is almost dead, if I back iTunes up and plug phone into another pc will I lose everything?

    My laptop is extremely old and I no longer trust it as its broken on me before.
    If I back up my iTunes and put that disc into another pc will I keep all pics, apps, etc or will I lose everything?
    Please help!

    When you go in Preference -> Extension, you can see a folder.
    In this you have all data from your iTunes(BackUp, Music, Apps, i think photo also)
    -     Copy(BackUp) this folder.
    -     install iTunes on the new pc (same iTunes Version ist better)
    -     Copy the backup folder on the new pc.
    and it works.
    Please check the folder and search for your photos.
    I hope you can understand my bad english

  • My daughter wants her own itunes account.  will she lose everything from my account?

    My daughter wants her own itunes account.  Will she lose everything from our shared account?

    Hi Randy,
    John is correct, there is no true "sharing" it's more like right of use, but she can still use all the stuff she has from your account on her device, it's just a little tricky. My daughter has had her own account for over a year but she had used my account before that. She has her own iPod, Macbook Pro, and now she just bought her own iPhone.
    It had never been a big deal to her until she got her phone because she has to use only her account, my e-mail and stuff she does not need on her phone. So use Home Sharing on your computer with her login and her login on her device. The biggest question is are you using two computers or one? With just a single computer it may make it harder because you really have no way of home sharing (I may stand correctly by someone else though). With two computers you just setup home sharing, login to both iTunes accounts with her login, use her computer (or the second computer) and drag all the stuff over to that iTunes library, music, apps, etc. Then they will be on her computer. Then she just drags them on to her iOS device. They will copy and she can use them.
    There is no way around updates though. They can only be updated with the original account, which I believe why John stated use iTunes Plus first, because the will not play at all under a different account login. The only advantage that my daughter wanted to use this for was progress on games, so she wouldn't have to start over. Most of our stuff are free downloads so it was not even a repurchase issue as much as time on a game issue.
    If you use only one computer, it should work the same way but I have not tried it so I can not say for sure. Logout of you account name and drag the stuff to her iOS device.

    This was EXACTLY what I needed about the purchases I made from my device. However, is there a way to re-download other ones you've made from a computer? Because I realized some of them were not just purchased from my device.
    This is a picture of what it looks like now:
    http://tinypic.com/r/107quxu/7
    As you can see, the stuff circled in red doesn't give me an option to download from Cloud Beta because it already says "downloaded".
    any way to get around that?
