Question about 1st iTouch Software Upgrade - Will it delete everything?

I have a first generation itouch and want to upgrade the software to 3.1.3 so I can add apps but when i click the upgrade button it tells me that the upgrade will delete all my media including items purchased on itunes. Does that mean it is going to completely erase my iTouch music/movies..etc? I manage my synchs manually because i have music on there from my friend's iTunes library, i dont want to loose all that media...HELP!

You can only really sync to one library but, as you are doing you can manage music with more than one computer. When you update on your syncing computer it will restore the contents with those on that computer. The music from other computer's library will be deleted. Sorry.

    I upgraded itunes since a pop up stated that I would have to upgrade it so it can recognize my iphone5's new software. I upgraded the itunes and now when I plug in the iphone its asking "set up as new iphone" will this delete everything on my phone? Also why is it forcing me to set up as a new iphone, why doesn't it recognize it like it did before I upgraded iTunes. I'm afaid I will lose all my apps, music, pictures etc. please help. thank you.

    You are correct. Corrupted files are in the backup. If you've already restored the iPhone it has been erased and starting over is the way to go in order to eliminate the corrupted files.
    Hope that helps

  • If I delete iCloud from iPhone 4 phone will this delete everything from my new upgraded iphone 5 ?

    If I delete iCloud from iPhone 4 phone will this delete everything from my new upgraded iphone 5 ?

    No. You can delete your iCloud account from your iPhone 4  and the information will remain in iCloud either through syncing or through a backup.or through both features.  Just make sure you have a recent backup.

    An iPhone's content is designed to originate or be backed up on the computer with which is was last synced.
    Getting content off an iPhone and onto a computer with which it was not synced can be done though. Read the following to determine if this is an option for her: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848
    This will not restore anything not purchased from the iTunes Store. For that you will need to rely upon a number of third party utilities that claim to be able to do it.

  • I have lion 10.7.5 installed if i update to 10.8 will it delete everything on my macbook?

    i have lion 10.7.5 installed if i update to 10.8 will it delete everything on my macbook? i would buy it in the aple store but i have some stuff on my laptop i wish wouldnt be lost so would it delete anything or would it stay the same?

    If you buy the Mt. Lion installer at the AppStore it will just upgrade the system on top of your current system and not erase your documents and other files.
    But nevertheless, as with any major upgrade, make sure you have a current backup of your mac, before you upgrade.  And be aware, that the upgrade is quite large - several GB. So you need to be on a reliable network with a fast and stable internet connection.
    Upgrade all applications to the latest versions, while you are still running Lion.
    Have you checked, if all applications you need are compatible with Mt. Lion?

    Read Syncing music to iPod is a one-way street. The iPod/iTunes system is designed not to let you copy music from your iPod to your computer, other than as described in this article, as an anti-piracy measure.
    Because the Discussions terms of use prohibit encouraging piracy or other illegal sharing, in these forums we cannot discuss ways to circumvent this restriction, even if it is for a legitimate purpose. If you search the web you may find something that claims to do what you want, but as always be wary of software from untrusted sources.
    The best solution is to add the music back to your iTunes library from its original sources and/or backups, which you should make for at least all purchased downloads. See How to back up your media in iTunes for future reference.

  • If I restored my new iPhone from iCloud backup, and I delete the old iPhone backup to make room on iCloud to back up my new phone, will it delete everything on the new phone?

    I have this exact same issue.  Replaced my iPhone 4s with the new iPhone 5s, setting up my new iPhone 5s to restore from iCloud.  This completed and now I am unable to delete my old iPhone 4s iCloud backup (consuming 15.1 GB of my 20GB allocation).  How can I delete it, so that I get my 15 GB back?  I am not going to invest in additional iCloud storage, because I will be 15 GB down from the off.

  • HT4759 if i delete my backup on my phone will it delete everything off my icloud?

    im trying to download ios 7 so i want my phone clear & i want to know if i can delete the backup on my iphone 4? o will it delete everything on my icoud?

    Go to Settings>iCloud and delete the account, then sign back in with the ID of the account you want to use.  It only deletes the account from your device, not from iCloud.  This won't effect any other devices you may have that are still using the account.

  • If you delete your icloud backup will it delete everything that was backed up?

    It will only delete the backup from iCloud.  It won't delete anything from your phone.

    Restarting or rebooting of your device is something that should be done regularly.
    No this will not delete any data off your phone.
    PLEASE reboot your device regularly.
    (hold down sleep wake button till you see the red bar reading 'slide to shut off')
    Good luck friend.

    The implication here is that the other computer belongs to someone else, along with the content on it.
    Since you do not own this media, you have no legal right to it.
    If you want the media, purchase your own copy.

  • Question about Oracle Client Software

    Hi!
    I'm going to develop a software which will access an Oracle Database somewhere on the network. This software will be developed using C++ language and will run on a Linux RedHat 7.3 machine.
    Searching for APIs to connect with Oracle Database, I found OCI and OCCI, which I think will do this job. Also, in another thread in this group, I found that I have to install Oracle Client Software on the machine which will run my software. Then I came into a question: is it possible to install Oracle Client Software alone in a machine, I mean, without the entire database? If yes, how about the licenses? Do I have to have a Oracle Client License for each machine running my software or is it free for Linux?
    Thanks in advance,

    Is there a different client that includes the Oracle Net software as stated in the OBE ? if so, where is it ?Before V11 Oracle used to package a "Client CD" & it appears it is no longer available.

  • What happens if I click "delete backup" in order to delete the iCloud backups from my sisters phone off my device. Will it delete everything on her phone?

    So a while ago when I got my phone I started a new Apple ID account/ iCloud.. Then when my sister got a new iphone I gave her my id to use too. In settings-general-usage it says that my storage is almost full. I then click on manage storage and it shows my phone and my sisters phone and how many gb or whatever. Also it says "last backup failed" and other stuff that's Irrelevant. Now when I click on my sisters phone I have an option to "delete backup" MY QUESTION is if I click the delete backup button will it just delete the iCloud backup off my phone OR will it totally delete everything involving the backup off my sisters phone forever??? Please help! Thank you so much!!!!!

    Deleting a backup deletes the backup only from the iCloud storage, not anything on the iPhone.
    The iPhone's iCloud backup will be updated at some point - automatically when the iPhone is connected to an available wi-fi network while connected to a power source unless the iCloud backup is turned off on the iPhone.
