When IOS5 is ready to install , will all my data disappear ?

I have an Ipad 2 , with the latest IOS 4.3.3 .. When IOS 5 is ready to install on ipad2 & to be upgraded on my ipad , will all my data ( apps , images & etc ) will disappear ?
Thanks

I lost all my apps and all my data, including email messages. I do backup my apps but since the iOS updates said it was restoring my iPad I thought it restored my apps and data as well.
Wrong. It only restores standard iPad apps and their data, it doesn't even restore iBooks. What a stupid software update! I don't know why it doesn't automatically restore the other apps and data but it should at least throw up a dialog box to ask you if you want to restore your purchased apps and their data.
The other ridiculous thing about it is that you never have to restore apps when you update MacOS so why does iOS need to wipe the whole system and files to update? Seems to me iOS developers are not trying hard enough.
This whole experience is really putting me off.

When upgrading to os x lion, will all my files stay in place or what?

when upgrading to os x lion, will all my files stay in place or what?

Yes of course, Apple knows a users files are valuable and won't just go deleting them .
However, OS X upgrades can go bad due to unforeseen circumstances or special modifications people have done to their operating systems or even root level anti-virus installs like Norton.
If the upgrade goes bad, your operating system can become "bricked", requiring a lot more effort to recover your files.
Also third party programs like from Microsoft, Adobe and others may not be ready for OS X Lion, if you have any "mission critical" needs for the computer, it's best to wait several months, yes SEVERAL MONTHS, to make absolutely sure all the bugs are worked out of third party drivers, software, printers, scanners etc., and even OS X Lion itself.
Always backup your valuable data, to write protected cd/dvd's if all possible for the reason that humans, even myself I just recently learned, can very very easily erase data on re-writable media like hard drives due to human error.
TimeMachine is a somewhat ok image backup system, Carbon Copy Cloning of one's boot drive onto a external drive which is hold option bootable is great in case your hard drive dies, but for your most precious data, you really should be burning, labeling, dating and storing multiple cd/dvd's.

When I update to IOS 7 will all my music be deleted

When I update to IOS 7 will all my music contacts photos ect... Be deleted

If you update when iOS 7 is available in the fall:
- If you update via Settings>General>Software update nothing will be lost unless there is a glitch. They happen sometimes. Therefore, make sure all your media is backed up and yo have an iPod backup

When I upgrade from OS10.5.8 to Snow Leopard will all my data transfer. If I need to back up what is the best way to do this?

I plan to upgrade from OS10.5.8 to Snow Leopard. Will all my data, applications and settings transfer automatically?
If I need to back up what is the best way to do this?

If everything works perfectly, your data should not be touched.
Personally I never trust my data to everything working perfectly.
I always backup everything twice at least.

When exporting a photo to photo library, all EXIF data is lost. What rational is behind this?

When exporting a photo to photo library, all EXIF data is lost.
What rational is behind this?

Thanks for your reply on this!
One issue seems to be with Foto Library app itself. When running an auto-correct there it looks like EXIF will be stripped more or less completely.
Second issue is in iPhoto app on iOS when working on RAW. When exporting to the roll the EXIF is modified in a way. It was keeping most of the EXIF in case of Canon 5D MKII that I tested today, but the EXIF data is definately changed, e.g. lens type is different because maybe some fields are ignored there. Also the images are silently scaled down by 50% which is kind of annoying.
The initial problem was observed with a Pentax K7 and I will need to reproduce the issue in this config I assume. Maybe tomorrow I can do this.

Computer crashed ! Will all iPhone data be transferred to new empty iTunes ?

Title says it all:
My computer crashed, so will all the data (music, books, pictures, apps, data inside apps, folder organisation, apps' logins and passwords, ) currently inside my iPhone be transferred to the new empty iTunes ?
I don't care about Notes and Contacts which are synced to iCloud.
Or will the empty new iTunes empty my iPhone ?

Sorry but you know nothing about my story and what happened with my computer so please don't barge in with wrong conclusions and make a fool of yourself.
Fortunately there are helpful people around such as wjosten to hep and not judge.
Not to mention saying things such as "It's also counterintuitive to believe that a cell phone is a backup device."
Who believes that ? Who are you talking to ? Certainly not me. As it's exactly the opposite: originally sync has been created to back up your device on a computer. The computer is the back up, not the device. And when your back-up fails anybody expects to be able to copy ALL your data simply from the original drive to another back-up drive.
Apple's one-way-only method is ABSOLUTELY counter-intuitive, you will find coultless topics on the internet of people not getting it and having issues with this and software such as Phoneview, DiskAid, IExplorer, etc... being created by third-parties to compensate Apple's weaknesses.
Just another example : I would be happy to know why they had to wait "the Third Millennium, over 30 years since the first consumer-oriented computer became available" to add the ability to sync contacts and calendars between a Mac and iOS device via USB connection, available only now since OSX 10.9.3 !!...
Apple has certainly made historically good choices over the years, but no matter how difficult it is to admit for some people it also has made and stuck to other very poor choices. And this is one of them, right there...

If I put an app in the trash so I can redownload it on the correct apple account, will all the data be lost?

If I put an app in the trash so I can redownload it on the correct apple account, will all the data be lost? The app is iPhoto and I can't open it since I updated my system to yosemite.

You choose Go to Folder from the Finder's Go menu, provide ~/Pictures/ as the path(or elsewhere if you moved the library), and drag the library to a volume formatted as Mac OS Extended.

All calendar data disappeared and no TC backup calendar folder.

All calendar data disappeared from two iphone5's, ipad 2, iMac and a PC simultaneously. Apple folks are stumped. Went to Time Capsule to look for calendar backups. All iMac backups are there, but no calendar folder. And suggestions or thoughts?

Turned out that Apple tech support folks were the only solution possible. Tried to restore calendar via TC, but calendar folder not visible and not instruction how to make it so. New OS has made that folder not readily visible to the average, but tech support came up with a work around that is far too complicated to explain here. Just give them a call. Marvelous folks, and they live and work in the US of A!

HT1923 if i uninstall itunes and re-install, will all my music still be there

if i uninttall itune and re-instll, will all my music still be there

Your library is preserved with the following repair process, but you ought to be routinely backing up anyway.
Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (Later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
See also HT1925: Removing and Reinstalling iTunes for Windows XP or HT1923: Removing and reinstalling iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
Should you get the error iTunes.exe - Entry Point Not Found after the above reinstall then copy QTMovieWin.dll from:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
and paste into:
C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
The above paths would be for a 64-bit machine. Hopefully the same fix with the " (x86)" omitted would work on 32-bit systems with the same error.

Possible to modify the message clients receive when updates are ready to install?

An upper-up wants the message clients see when updates are ready for installation changed. They want the "Software changes must be applied to your computer after [date]" changed to something else. Is this possible? (See the image below)

No, there is no supported way to modify this dialog box. If you submit feedback on Connect and post a link here, I'd definitely vote it up.

Will all my data be erased is I update my iPod 4 to generation 6?

I have an iPod touch 4th generation. I want to update it to generation 6, but I heard I will lose all my data. I have over $50 worth on some apps. Is this (the data erasing) true?

If you are using the ipod as designed and syncing it to your computer regularly, then you will lose nothing.
Everything on your ipod should always be on your computer, especially before any upodate/restore/etc
