Will all the partitions be deleted if I restore my mac
I bought my Macbook Pro preinstalled with Lion (10.7). I've later uograded to 10.8. Now due to some problems I want to restore my Mac using the recovery tool. But before that I've partitioned my hard disk and copied my files to these partitions. If I restore my Mac will the files on all these partitions be deleted or just the files in the partition in which OS X exists are deleted? Moreover after partition will I be left with 10.8 or 10.7?
No, nothing will be deleted except the partition you install on.
EDIT: But never do anything w/o a backup.

I have a new computer and want to sync my iPhone's apps. when I tell it to do so it says that all apps in my phone will be replaced by the ones in iTunes, but it's empty because it's new. If I do so will all my apps be deleted?
Transfer purchases over from your phone to your computer before you sync your apps. See Transferring Purchases for more details.

Any photos in your camera roll, not previously imported to your computer, you will lose. You should be regularly importing these photos, as the iPhone's camera roll is not designed as a storage device.
Had you been regularly syncing/backing up, you wouldn't lose anything. Now you know, don't backup your data, and you will eventually lose it all, guaranteed. -
I updated my iMac to Mountain Lion. All the files were deleted. I have Time Machine backups. When I restart the mac pressing Command R to restore it from the backup it shows the previous OS X (Leopard) beside the date of the backup that I want to select. Will it go back to Leopard if I restore it from the backup?
No, it won't revert to the prior OS X but you you may have third party apps installed that were compatible with Lion that may not be compatible with Mountain Lion.

If i uninstall AMDS, iTunes and all Apple softwares, will all the music i currently have in iTunes delete.., or will it download itself back into the new iTunes?
Under normal circumstances, an uninstall/reinstall does not touch your content. That being said, it's still always a good idea to maintain a backup in case of disasters.

I have 3 apple products can I sync my mail accounts so that if i action on one it will do the same on all the others, like delete an e-mail and that e-mail is deleted on all the other devices
Hello sstan114,
Great question! What type of email account are you using? Most email providers these days offer IMAP accounts (as opposed to POP). With IMAP, your changes should reflect across your devices (for example: if you read an email on your iPhone, it should be marked as read on your iPad). For more information about IMAP, see this resource:
iCloud: IMAP
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2585
In some cases, you may need to contact your Email provider or check out their online resources for information on how to setup your account as IMAP. The following article outlines some important information you’ll want to gather:
Mail settings you might need from your email provider - Apple Support

If i reset or restore my iPod touch will all my apps be deleted? If so what about the bought ones ?
- A reset does not delete any media (apps, music etc) from the iPod.
- A restore will delete apps, music and other media from the iPod. If the media is in the iTunes library then a restore from backp will restore the media and after a restore to factory defaults/new iPod you can sync the media back to the iPod.
- If not in the iTunes libray, you can redownload most iTunes pruchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store -
When I upgrade to IOS5 will all my songs get deleted?
When I upgrade to IOS5 will all my songs get deleted?
Greenz has a good point. It seems Apple does not, nor has ever had a decent solution for users that have ever had a hardcopy CD they didn't get from iTunes. It always keeps just what was purchased from Apple and tries it's best to trash everything else unless you go through a twelve step process to as one contributor posted above, "protect yourself from yourself".
Why in the world would I need to do that...they've been in the game for too long for this unacceptable nonesense time and again. I am not trying to harm myself--I would keep my music if up to me . Please help to find a real and permanent fix.
I did not steal my music like some do so I would appreciate Apple not losing it.

Your Apps won't be deleted.
You can back up before you update.
You can always re-download apps from the purchased option in the app store. -
Im planning on buying an Ipad. I already have an itunes account for my Ipod touch with a bunch of music, and apps. When i buy said ipad (and i connect it to my account) will all the apps/ music automatically download themselves or will i be able to choose the apps/ music that will go to the ipad?
You can choose which apps to install. App Store > Purchased > Not on This iPad.

I have received a software update notification. Currently I am having an iPhone 4 with IOS 5.1.1 installed. It works fin but at some point after i attend some call it gets blank, then i need to lock the screen & unlock it to get the home page. In case I upgrade my phone to IOS 6 will all the features work on my iPhone4? If it doesn't then how can i degrade the software to the older version?
Please I need help.No, you will not have 3D maps nor Siri nor Panorama.
You will lose Google Maps and YouTube, but there is a YouTube app in the App Store. Supposedly Google is readying a Google Maps app.
Downgrading can be problematic and is not supported by Apple. Do not upgrade if you have a problem with any of the items I listed. -
I'm a iPhone 4s and new iPad 3 owner. I'd like the apps and organization time I've invested in the iphone to be exactly transfered to the ipad. Is this possible? Will all the applications and folders match exactly? Thank you for your help
Restore the latest iPhone backup you made to the iPad.

If I backup my iPad to my new MacBook pro will all the apps be saved?

All of your content should be transferred to the new Mac when you sync. However, if you want to be safe, you can select the transfer purchases options, then sync the iPad.
Read this article about syncing. There is a section in the article that states that all of your purchased content may not transfer over to new Mac when you sync. I have NEVER had that problem when syncing but the article does talk about transferring purchases just in case. Not a bad idea really ... better to be safe than sorry!

How do you delete old music that it don't want anymore for the iOS 7 update. It gave me all the music I deleted in the past. I tried going to settings and turning off music from the past and it got rid of my music I recently purchased.
Hello there, Syd_ma22.
The answer to how to delete a song on your phone in iOS7 is found on page 62 of the iPhone User's Manual:
http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1565/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
Specifically:
Remove a song from iPhone. Tap Songs, swipe the song, then tap Delete. The song is deleted from iPhone, but not from your iTunes library on your Mac or PC, or from iCloud.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro D.
