Will I loose any data on my phone if I update form ios 7 to 8

Normally when you update a device no data is lost and that includes games. But there are times when things go wrong. I suggest you make an encrypted backup through atones before updating. That way if something does go awry you can recover everything from that backup.
Start the latest version of iTunes on your computer and connect your iPhone. Select your iPhone in the devices button at the top of the iTunes screen. Select the encrypted backup choice under the General tab. Be sure to remember the back up password. Once you have completed the backup you can remain connected to iTunes and do the update.

  • HT4972 when I download and update to 5.1 will I lose any data on I phone or does update automatically do it for me?

    Im Tryin to download IOS -5 to my iphone but I dont want to lose any data.

    An update normally keeps all of your personal data on the phone so uou should be ok. Incase anything goes wrong though backup your phone on iTunes so you can easily restore it afterwards.

  • If I install an updated OS will I loose any data if I dont back it up?

    I am a little behind on updates so if I update to a newer OS do I loose any data if I dont back it up?

    Generally, only if a problem occurs. Back it up anyway; other things can erase your data.

  • Will i loose any data if i sync with itune?

    i recently format my laptop and i dont have any backup's

    Yes.
    This means you lost all data on your computer's hard drive - everything - all documents, photos, etc.?
    So every time you pay this regular Microsoft tax, you lose all data and have to start completely over?
    You will lose all iTunes content on your iPhone and all photos on your iPhone that were transferring from your computer unless you transfer this data from your iPhone to your computer first.
    iTunes includes an option to transfer iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store from an iPod, iPad, or iPhone, but this is for iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store only.
    First you need to re-authorize your computer with your iTunes account with iTunes. With your iPhone connected and without syncing, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPhone.
    Photos on your iPhone that were transferred from your computer were optimized for viewing on your iPhone as part of the iTunes transfer process - the original resolution of these photos was reduced on your iPhone and will be permanently lost. Apple doesn't support transferring this data in the opposite direction for this reason. Photos transferred from your computer should be included with your computer's backup along with all other important data such as your iTunes library, documents, etc.
    There are some 3rd party paid utilities that provide for transferring such data from your iPhone to your computer including any iTunes content on your iPhone that was not purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store. Here is one such utility that is compatible with a Mac only, but I believe there is another or others that are Windoze compatible.

    Yes, windows to Mac too.
    iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music [library] to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
    Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings:  Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive.  Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the new location of the library.

  • The iCloud was never verified therefore never backing up anything on my iphone 4s because it was the wrong email and now I'm trying to make a new one but it says if I delete the account it will remove it's data from my phone. Will I lose everything?

    The iCloud was never verified therefore never backing up anything on my iphone 4s because it was the wrong email and now I'm trying to make a new one but it says if I delete the account it will remove it's data from my phone. So if I put delete account will I lose everything on my Iphone?

    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?

  • How can i reformat my external hard drive without loosing any data?

    how can i reformat my external hard drive without loosing any data?

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    It's impossible to format a hard drive without losing the data. One thing you can do before formatting is to copy the files from the external drive to your internal drive, and then, format the external drive. After formatting, copy the files to the external drive again, and everything will be as before formatting it

  • HT1212 Using the "if you have never synched with itunes" instructions, will I lose all data on the phone? That is the most important information, how to recover the data. The phone is fungible.

    Using the "if you have never synched with itunes" instructions, will I lose all data on the phone? That is the most important information, how to recover the data. The phone is fungible.

    Thanks @ KiltedTim, but losing "only" any data is really not acceptable and, in this case, the phone had not been backed up, but thanks for taking the time. Also, yes, fungible means what I think it means. An iphone is a completely substitutible commodity, unlike my data, so instructions that inform me as to how to fix a phone I could replace for a small sum of money while failing to address the more important issue of the data are almost useless - they potentially save me the $99 it would cost me to replace the phone if I were so inclined to trust another apple product. Not worth the hour it took to find them or the 35 minutes on the phone to confirm my suspicions about the data.

  • Will there be any data deleted if i upgrade my software version?

    will there be any data deleted if i upgrade my software version?

    what are you updating?  But the short answer is no.  whether an iOS device or a Mac you should't "lose" anything.  the only problems you might run into are compatibility issues with software not being able to run on newer system software....ie.  upgrading to OSX LION means no more PPC apps anymore.
