    If I restore my iPhone to factory settings, will I loose my texts?

    OneLuckyWoman in order to avoid this please backup your iPhone in iTunes.
    Follow the steps in this article to backup your iPhone in iTunes: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
    Once you've done that, you will need to restore from that backup which this article tells you how to do. And than your text messages will be restored as well. I hope this helps. If you have any questions please just let me know.

  • If I upgrade my 3rd gen iPod touch to iOS 5, will I lose all my content (photos, videos, notes, safari cookies, etc)?

    So I've had my 3rd gen iPod for almost 5 years now, and I'm tired of all the "This applications requires iOS 5.0 or later; you must update to iOS 5.0 in order to download and use this application" notifications, and since I don't have enough money to buy the new iPod, I'm finally upgrading to iOS 5.1.1, the highest I can upgrade this generation.  In the event that it doesn't save my photos (Camera roll and the pictures I put on from my old computer that I don't have anywhere else), I have been uploading them one by one to Dropbox, but this is a pain.  Basically, I'm wondering: if I backup my iPod before upgrading the software, will it reapply all my settings and content after iOS 5 is installed?  I've begun the process before and have gotten the notification that all content will be deleted.  I don't have all this content on my computer, either, because the photo albums on my iPod were folders of pictures on my old computer that I lost all the files from.  I can't just put these back on from my computer if it deletes them and doesn't save a backup copy.  But does it save all the settings in a backup copy and reapply them?  That's what I want to know.  Do I have to keep bothering with Dropbox, or can I just go for it and know everything will be fine?

    Only if something goes astray, which happens some times.
    - Backup the iTunes
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    - Make sure that all synced media like apps and music are in your iTunes library and any photos synced to the iPod are also on your computer. Synced media is not included in the iPod backup that iTunes makes
    Then update vai Tunes

  • If I download the new version of itunes, will i lose all stored content?

    I have an ipod touch that only shows the icon at the top and a usb cord at the bottom, and it isn't being recognized by itunes. How can i sync it to my computer so i can use it? Also, if i download the latest version of itunes, do i lose all of the things that i have purchased and downloaded? Thanks.

    Not unless something really goes wrong. You should always have a backup of your library

    Connect your iphone to your computer

    Turn back on your phone.
    Your phone has seemed to enter recovery mode, but its ok! The steps above should bring it out

  • When restored an iphone to factory settings, all the info is deleted, included the icloud account?

    If I can to restore an iphone 5 to factory settings it means that activation lock is off, right? so when I tried to activate it, it will not ask me the icloud account that was linked before?

    Restore the device from the most recent backup (prior to restoring as new) to put everything back the way it was.

  • If I re-install my podcast app with a different apple ID will I lose all the media from the older one ?

    I have the Podcast app installed on my iPhone with a lot if free media content downloaded.
    Now I need to re-install the app with a different apple ID.
    Will I lose all my content by doing do ?
    Please help. I don't want to lose anything.
    Please let me know if there is a work-around.

    You don't really want a new Apple Account (which is what you are describing) - all of your iTunes purchases will still be tied to the old Apple Account, all of your iCloud info will be under that old Account, all of your Messages will be under that old Account.
    Why not just to to Manage your Apple ID and edit your Apple ID to the new email you want it to be? You cannot edit an Apple ID using an Apple Domain email address (@me.com, @mac.com, @iCloud.com), but if your current ID is not using one of those type of email addresses, then changing it is the way you want to go. That way, everything stays with the Apple ID since it is the same Apple account.
    Just be sure to sign out of all apps on the device (iCloud, Messages, iTunes & App Store, FaceTime) before you change it.
    To EDIT your current Apple ID at Manage your Apple ID go to: Apple - My Apple ID

  • Will I lose all my work from free trial to purchase?

    Hi, my free trial of Lr is ending in 4 days. I have lots of photos in my library and am working on a Blurb book. I'll need more time with Lr but how can I subscribe and keep my current content?  In other words, if I signup to buy Lr, will I lose all the content I worked on during the free trial period or will it transfer to the new account?

    No, you won't lose anything. If you purchase Lightroom from Adobe online and receive a serial number, you can activate the trial version you are now using. And even if it requires installing a new Lightroom program for some reason, it won't have any effect on your work. All of your work is stored in the catalog which is a user file. And user files are not replaced or modified when updating.

  • Will i lose all my iphone content now that i have upgraded my hard drive and no longer have any of the files in iTunes

    i no longer have any of my songs, ringtones, apps, photos etc, on my macbook anymore due to a SSD upgrade. i did not want to back up any files from the old hard drive as some were corrupt and i did not want that to transfer over to my new hard drive so i started from fresh. what i would like to know is, if i now sync my iphone with itunes, am i going to lose all the content on my iphone because there is nothing to sync it with or, will it transfer all the files onto my computer and i will have them again? or is there a way to do that before i sync and lose everything i have gained on the phone?

    I'm afraid I'm gonna lose all my music on my Iphone when I unlock it. I have over 4,000 songs in it and they are not backed up on my itunes library (I know, big mistake. I was trying to save space on my hard drive.). Please tell me I won't lose my songs or if I do how do I transfer them back to the Itunes? Is there a good software that can do that hassle free?
    Thanks
    It's called "iTunes". Connect the phone, but do not sync, when it appears in iTunes choose "transfer purchases..." from the iTunes File menu.

  • I have an iphone 4 (ios 4.3.1). I want to update to the latest ios, but it wouldn't load onto my iphone, I got error message code 3014. I tried again and it said I would lose all the contents on my iphone if I continued - help!

    I have an iPhone 4 (IOS 4.3.1) and it was synced and backed up today.
    I wanted to upgrade to the latest ios on iTunes (today's date is 3rd Jan 2013), it seemed to download ok (it took about 30 minutes or so), but when it tried to update onto the iPhone (I think this was what it was doing!) I got an error message that had code 3014 in it. Nowhere on Apple's website can I find a way to resolve this error code.
    I then thought I would just try again from the beginning, but I then got an error message saying that if I continued I would lose all the contents on my iPhone so I cancelled it as I don't want to lose everything on my phone.
    Can anyone help me as I am not very good at technical things and I really want to upgrade the ios on my iPhone without losing all the data I have on there already. An idiots guide would be great.
    Thanks.

    Errors 3000-3999 (3004, 3013, 3014, 3018, 3164, 3194, and so on): Error codes in the 3000 range generally mean that iTunes cannot contact the update server (gs.apple.com) on ports 80 or 443.
    Update to the latest version of iTunes.
    Verify the computer's date and time are accurate.
    Check that your security or firewall software is not interfering with ports 80 or 443, or with the server gs.apple.com.
    Follow Troubleshooting security software. Often, uninstalling third-party security software will resolve these errors.
    An entry in your hosts file may be redirecting requests to gs.apple.com (see "Unable to contact the iOS software update server gs.apple.com" above).
    Internet proxy settings can cause this issue. If you are using a proxy, try without using one.
    Test restoring while connected to a known-good network.
