Will I loose the saved e-mail accounts when I update my iPad 2 to iOS 5?

Hello,
I have an iPad 2 with iOS 4.3.2 and I have 5 mail accounts stored and I don't know their passwords. I just wanted to ask that if I update my iPad 2 to iOS 5, will I loose those?

There is no real reason why you should lose the email settings when you update the iOS. I have 4 email accounts and I lost nothing at all - settings, data, apps - nothing. I did not have to enter my passwords again either.
There is no guarantee that the experience will be error free for you - but iTunes will backup your iPad prior to the update and all of your settings are in that backup - including email settings. You can always restore from the backup if you lose the accounts - in theory anyway.
I deleted a problematic email account a few months ago and then was unable to add back on to the iPad. After trying for a couple of hours with continued failure, I decide to restore from my backup and everything was restored and in working order.
One note - I restored from the backup prior to any furhther backups of the device. In other words - you would have to restore from the backup before you create another backup.

Will i loose any of my photo albums when i upgrade my ipad to iOS 5?

While you should not lose any info you still might want to do a backup of your iPad before the update.

I use the same e-mail account on my PC and ipad. Lately I have been getting an e-mail that says no sender with no content and a date of 1969. It shuts down some of my e-mails and goes away later. this does not occur on my PC

I keep getting on my e-mail a no sender with a date of 1969, wipes out my e-mails temporarily but doesn't happen on my PC?

Try turning the account off and on : Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars , then tap the account on the right, slide Mail to 'off', exit settings and go back into the Mail app, and then go back to Settings and slide Mail back to 'on'
If that doesn't work then try closing the Mail app via the iPad’s multitasking bar (I'm assuming that your iPad is on iOS 7) : double-click the home button to open the taskbar and then swipe or drag the Mail app's 'screen' up and off the top of the screen to close it, and click the home button to close the taskbar.
And do a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Your iOS version is probably too old to support software update. You must update using iTunes on your computer.
Make sure your iTunes on the computer is current. Plug your iPhone into iTunes. Let it sync. Then choose "Check for Updates..." from the iPhone's summary tab in iTunes. That should od it for you.

In an IPad 2, can the two different mail accounts be made private

In an IPad 2, can the two different mail accounts be made private?

StashPro is an app which can keep things private.
Photos/documents/videos can be kept private and private browsing is possible with this.
no matter what you are doing, pressing the home button or power button locks the application and can be opened only by a password set by you while others can access rest of the applications.
what i do is login to the mail program in the browser and leave it there. so, the moment you click on this app and give the password, you will be taken to your mail (on the website).
But the best part is that you can keep all sensitive documents hidden no matter how many people use it.
hope this helps. BTW, it costs less than 2 and half dollars and its worth it. Google StashPro and go to their website to look at additional features.
You can check the free version before buying the pro version.

Forget the Pendrive stategy...
Before attempting any Major Upgrade... get yourself an External Hard Drive... and create a Bootable Clone Backup of your current Hard Drive...
By far the easiest way to make such a Backup, is to use something like
SuperDuper http://www.shirt-pocket.com/
or CCC http://www.bombich.com/
That way, should anything untoward happen during the Upgrade,
you will NOT LOSE ANYTHING.
(Get an EHD that is at least equal to your current Drive...)
Also, Check here for compatibility of 3rd party Software you may be using...

You should also consider more RAM... Get the Maximum you can for your Mac...
It is important to get the Correct and Matching RAM

You can sync music and videos from multiple computer/iTunes library if you sync manually. Manually syncing is included here:

Living in Dubai where many apps are blocked. How can I get around ? Tried to create a new Id but my billing address in Dubai will not match the criteria for an account in the US. Help please to get around the censorship...thnaks

The censorship in regards to certain apps not being available in your country is by your country, not by Apple.
Due to various laws and licensing in each country, in order to have an iTunes store account in a particular country you must have a credit card with a billing address in that country. If this were up to Apple, there would be no such requirement and there would be only one iTunes store for the entire world, but various laws, regulations, and licensing issues in each country, this is required by Apple.

Before to attach your ipod.... try to find the file where you put your music.... click on that song.... itunes will ask you if you want to locate it.... from there you have to find the song(s) that is one of the folders in your PC.

If I do a repair the windows small business server 2011 standard repair console, will I loose the user's and computer's that are currently setup on the server ?

will I loose the user's and computer's that are currently setup on the server?

Hi,
Based on your description, I understand you want to repair SBS 2011 console (please refer to
the TechNet article:
Repair the Windows Small Business Server 2011 Standard Console). However, worry about losing users and groups that be created by Windows SBS Console. As far as I know, those will not lose.
Since, when you create users and groups via SBS console, those are added to Activity Directory.
The SBS console is a GUI component, which makes it easy to configure and manage your Windows SBS 2011 Standard network. When you repair the SBS console, this component will be affected.
In view of your concerns, please back up before operation. It will help us to avoid some unexpected
issue.
Hope this helps.
Best regards,
Justin Gu

Both my kids iPads are using my Apple ID if I give them both their own will they loose the existing apps they already have on their iPads?

Apps on a device are forever associated with the Apple ID that was used to purchase or download them. If the Apple ID on a device is changed the apps acquired with the original Apple ID will require that original Apple ID and password to be updated.
My suggestion would be to erase your kids' iPads and set them up new, each with their own Apple ID. Then turn on Family Sharing with you as the Organizer. This will allow any of the Family members to share apps as long a those apps allow Family Sharing. Turn on Family Sharing in the Settings app.
Settings > iCloud > Family

Not really sure what you are doing that this doesn't work...I have an iPhone, iPad and iPod all using the same email account without any conflicts. Can you explain a littl about what you are trying to do that isn't being allowed?
