Is it safe to upgrade my Iphone4?

I have an iphone4 with MC603ZP which is tagged factory unlocked. Was wondering if it would be safe to upgrade it to IOS5 using my itunes? Heard that if i upgrade it i would lose its unlock status?

how would u know that ur phone is hacked or jailbroken to be unlocked?
If you bought the phone originally as SIM-free/unlocked direct from Apple, or had a network operator officially unlock the phone via iTunes, then it has not been hacked.
You said in the first post that it was "factory unlocked". This term means it was sold originally as unlocked direct from Apple.

Is it safe to upgrade to iTunes 8 on Windows Vista (32-bit)

For the last few months after iTunes 8 has been released, I've seen post after post from folks who say that the upgrade process is less than perfect and in many cases causes lower level issues on their computer post-upgrade. I have iTunes 7.7.1.11, and each time I'm prompted to upgrade to version 8, I pass it up.
Is it safe to upgrade now, or does the iTunes/Windows community still hold reservations on the success of an upgrade and it should be done more at the caution to the user to proceed at their own risk, or is it once in a blue moon that a user would run into issues upgrading to iTunes 8 while running Windows Vista?
Also have folks tried iTunes 8 on Windows 7 and do they see any more positive results from that than on Vista?
Cheers,
George

In regards to Windown 7 Beta... I upgraded iTunes yesterday to 8.0.2 (never could get the 8.0.1 installer to work, even under WinXP). So far it's not been pleasant. I plugged by 80G Classic in to sync and it didn't want to eject. Windows and iTunes were fighting over the thing. The iPod synced and tried to auto-eject, then windows said "hey! here's a removable disk! What ya want me to do with it?" I told windows to ignore it (Cancel) and iTunes started syncing the iPod again. Lather, Rinse, Repeat... I was finally able to get it timed just right to unplug it during the split second that it showed the OK to disconnect screen and all appears OK on the pod for now. I'm not too happy at this point. I do still have 8.0.0.35 on my XP install.. may end up using that and uninstalling 8.0.2 if it doesn't clear up.

What I know is that the phone worked perfectly fine until I upgraded the software. I've tried resetting the network settings to no avail. I've shut the phone off, put it in a ziplock baggie and then into the freezer for 15 minutes. This made the wifi work temporarily but then it goes back to being grayed out. The wifi does not work at other wifi sites away from my home as well. Seems like an apple issue to me and would appreciate someone coming up with a fix, apparently I'm not the only one having this problem. Thanks for replying to my query, any ideas?
It's likely a hardware issue. The iOS will not directly cause this issue.
Use this article first:
iOS: Wi-Fi settings grayed out or dim - http://support.apple.com/en-us/TS1559
If that fails to resolve it, then try setting it up as new and testing again.
How to erase your iOS device and then set it up as a new device or restore it from backups - http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT4137
If the issue remains even after set up as new, it's a hardware problem, not a software problem. You'll need to contact Apple for you hardware service options. If within warranty it should be free. If not, expect to pay $149 USD + tax if it's an iPhone 4, $199 USD + tax if it's an iPhone 4S.

Itunes lib show app, but won't install to iPhone I upgraded fro iphone4 to iphone5. i restored from backup in iCloud, and almost everything is there perfectly. there was one app on the phone, which i clicked on to finish the install, but it then disappear

I upgraded fro iphone4 to iphone5. i restored from backup in iCloud, and almost everything is there perfectly. there was one app on the phone, which i clicked on to finish the install, but it then disappeared. in my iTunes, under library/apps, this app still shows there. how do i reinstall this app. it was a paid app, and i searched the app store, and apparently it is no longer there.
any help would be greatly appreciated.

It appears to be fixed, he had multiple versions of iTunes installed (since he put his iTunes in a different folder) the iTunes icon launched the old iTunes, even though the new was installed. it's working now.

I've upgraded my iPhone4 to iOS5 but there're no records show in my iPhone4 nor in the iCloud, but there're records show in my iCal. How can I sync my iCal to iCloud or back to iPhone4?

I've upgraded my iPhone4 to iOS 5 and selcted to use iCloud to sync my calendar. However, there're no records in my iPhone 4 calendar nor in the iCloud calendar, but I can see the records in my iCal from my iMac. How can I sync the records back to my iPhone 4 calendar or iCloud calendar?
Thanks!

Thanks, but I checked iCloud and it has none of them.
If it backed up to my laptop, that died and I just got the new computer. The one that's crashed won't even boot, so there's no way to even tell if it was syncing the contacts along with all the phone photos. Literally happened at the same time - it was because I had the new computer that I was finally able to pull the photos off the phone and make room for the upgrade. It had refused to upgrade for lack of space for some time.
I had thought it was set to sync to iCloud but it vanished from BOTH my phone and the cloud. That's why I'm so angry about it.

In the summer of 2013 I updated my Macbook Air to Mavricks and my solid state hard drive crashed and had to be replaced. Has this issue been fixed and is it safe to upgrade?

Please help! I don't want to have to get a new hard drive. My warentee has now expired. Is it safe to upgrade? The service person I talked to said that it had happened to quite a few MacBook Airs.

It's unrelated to Mavericks.

I just upgraded my iPhone4s to iOS7 and now I am unable to make phone calls and send/receive text messages. Network signal indicator on the upper left side of the display shows hollow circles instead of full circles. Any idea how to fix the problem?

I just upgraded my iPhone4s to iOS7 and now I am unable to make phone calls and send/receive text messaes. Network signal indicator on the upper left side of the display shows hollow circles instead of full circles (but with the network provider name). I checked with my colleagues in the office who use the same network and theirs work just fine on iOS7. Any idea how to fix the problem?

I have also called my service provider and my service remains active in the network. I tried removing and reinserting my SIM but to no avail.

Is it Safe to Upgrade my nvidia-based X?

and I'm a bit nervous abut those two warnings. Is it safe to upgrade my xorg-server in this case?
I don't know if the bug was ever fixed so I don't know if I can upgrade nvidia...

I did the upgrade and rebooted and my two screens are working fine. The bug with the latest nvidia was that it wouldn't run two screens.
Thank you both, for the responses.
BTW, yes, I upgrade more than once a month, but when there are no problems, I don't make a forum post.

Is it safe to upgrade to Yosemite yet?

Having been sitting on the sidelines watching this debacle and wondering if it will ever be safe to upgrade. Never upgraded to Mavericks because of all of the problems that people were having. So I really thought I'd be able to upgrade by now to Yosemite, but still don't want to lose everything.
Barb

I've had absolutely no issues with Yosemite on two Macs. a 2007 iMac and a 2011 Mac Mini. And none of my friends with Macs have had any issues either.
If you are expecting an Os without a single issue, or negative review or comment about it, you will be waiting a very long time.
Every Os release from any company is always received by scores of negative reviews and comments. When you release an update to millions of devices in differing unknown states of functionality it is not unlikely some may experience issues. But its generally a very small percentage of the update pool.
But generalizing this to "the update is intrinsically flawed" is just silly. Nothing in this world is perfect, less so computer software. But as long as you keep a recent backup, then likely hood of loosing anything is slim if any at all.

Is it safe to upgrade ipad(1st) to the the OS?

I have the orginial iPad. Is it safe to upgrade it to the latest IOS?

It worked fine on my iPad original and I have had no problems. Before you update any device with any update, backup the device first just to be safe.

Yes, it is. But not all 3rd party plugs are compatible yet and fail AU validation.

Well, in that case you cannot upgrade. On this planet, money is required to buy things.
Get a job, save enough money, then upgrade.
Nobody here is going to give you any money.

From the page which you posted your question:
