Will I lose all the information currently on my Mac when I load OSX Snow Leopard

Will I lose the information currently on my computer when I download OSX Snow Leopard.

You can't download Snow Leopard. Snow Leopard is distributed on DVD, not online.
Even so, when you upgrade to Snow Leopard, it keeps your applications, users and personal data intact. You won't lose it.

    If you're syncing with a different iTunes library than the one you previously synced with, then there is no way around it. You're gonna loose the old data. The only way round it would be to make sure that all the music files on your iPhone is also in your iTunes library. If you still have access to the computer with the old library, you could copy the files on to an external harddrive, and then import them into your new iTunes library.
    If it is in fact the same library, then the music currently on your iphone, is also in your itunes library. Just make sure that the artists/albums/playlists, or whatever you sync contains these tracks, that you allready have on your phone and don't want deleted. What i do is, i create a playlist specifically for my iPhone, and i set it up to only sync with this playlist. Whenever i hear a track from my iTunes library or buy a new track that i want on my phone, i just drag it to this playlist and next time i synchronize, it's there without deleting anything else.

    It is always a good idea to backup your data prior to ANY update/upgrade.
    That being said, 10.6 is designed to upgrade without the loss of data if you are moving from 10.4 or later.

  • If I create a new apple ID will I lose all the apps I have purchased with my original ID?

    If I create a new apple ID will I lose all the apps I have purchased with my original ID?

    I set up FaceTime and Messages on four different devices with only one Apple ID. I used the exact method that is described in the video that AnaMusic has provided to you in the link in her response above.  That method worked fine for my family, but you can create new Apple ID's just to use for FaceTime and Messages if you like. Many users prefer doing that as opposed to adding new email addresses.
    IMO - using unique email addresses (like in the video) makes sense, because we (my family) all have different email addresses anyway, and it was very simple to add each family members email address to both apps and remove my Apple ID email address as the contact address on each device.
    BTW .... if you are using your Apple ID on both devices - your phone number should be the number that is showing in the settings - not you daughter's. Did you set up the Apps with your Apple ID?

    Make a backup of your media and other important files.
    Just to be safe, make a backup of your entire iTunes directory.
    Restore computer or do whatever it is you need to do.
    Restore your media and other important documents.
    Install iTunes.
    Try using search next time... this gets asked way too frequently.

  • HT204053 If I delete an apple ID from my device (ipad) in order to replace it with another, will I lose all the apps that are already on the device or will they stay there?

    If I delete an Apple ID from my device (ipad) in order to replace it with another Apple ID, will I lose all the apps/itunes/etc. that are already on the device or will they stay there?

    It won't delete anyting, it will only change the ID.

  • If i uninstall windows 8.1 from my macbook pro, will i lose all the data from mac partition as well?

    if i uninstall windows 8.1 from my macbook pro, will i lose all the data from mac partition as well?

    Depends on how you do it
    If you create a partition with Boot Camp and format that partition correctly
    Then install Windows your data should not be touched
    If you do anything wrong or there is any mishap during the whole procedure you could lose everything
    Hence the reason I suggest that you backup first

  • 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 information if i change operating systems

    Will I lose all my personal information, documents, music, movies, and apps, if I change operating systems?

    Normally no. But you should always have a backup just in case disaster strikes or a meteor.

  • HT1349 im not using my regular computer - it's in storage- will I lose all the bookmarks, contacts etc that are stored on that computer?

    I cannot get to  my regular computer as it is in storage, and therefore cannot back anything up. If I change over to icloud using someones else's computer will I lose all bookmarks, contacts and all things on the computer in storage?

    You have a question for the iCloud support folks, I would imagine.
    We handle questions about the Time Capsule, AirPort Extreme and AirPort Express in this area. If you have a question about one of those products.....we can probably help.

  • If I put a different Apple ID in my iPhone will I lose all the apps I have already purchased through another Apple ID on the iPhone?

    My daughter and I share an apple account. She has an iPhone (she's had it about a month) & I have an iPad. All of her app downloads and iMessages are showing up on mine. If I set her up her own Apple ID is there a way that she won't lose all of the things she already downloaded? She's taking over my iPad with downloads & pics.

    The Apple ID needs to be a verified email address. Once you have an email address, that can be verified, go here & create the ID:
    https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/wa/createAppleId
    Then on her phone, turn off Contacts, Calendars, etc. for iCloud. You'll be prompted to keep the data or delete it from the phone, then turn off iMessage, FaceTime & delete the iCloud account...Settings>iCloud...scroll down...delete account. Then, setup iCloud using the new Apple ID, turn on iMessage & Facetime.
    This will have no affect on the ID you both share for iTunes content, & you can continue to do so.

  • I have never connected by iphone5 to my computer because the computer was broken. Now its fixed. Will I lose all the photos and texts on my iphone5 if I restore from last backup of my old 4s?

    I have never connected my iphone5 to my computer because the computer was broken. Now that it is fixed, I want to know if I will lose all my photos and texts on the 5 if I restore from last backup of my 4s?

    If you restore to an older backup, you will get the content that is in the backup. Everything on the iPhone will be erased and you will be brought back to the time that backup was made.

  • HT1329 My old computer with itunes no longer works.  If I hook my ipod to my new computer will I lose all the songs on the ipod?

    My old computer with itunes no longer works.  If I hook my ipod to my new computer will I lose the songs that are on it now?

    Yes, you will.
    Do you have the songs still?
    You could add them to your new library if you do.

  • If I upgrade to snow leopard, will I lose all the applications?

    I'm on OS 10.4.11 now and I'm thinking of upgrading to Snow Leopard. Do I have to buy all new iWork and iLife? and re-install all the applications I have?

    A. The language of the clause is quite straightforward since it is intended to be understood by ordinary users who must agree to the terms of the EULA prior to installing & using Snow Leopard.
    B. The "pre-purchase statement" is not clearly a licensing requirement nor does reading it constitute a legal agreement or obligation of any sort. It is just purchasing information about a "single, affordable package" that elsewhere Apple describes as "the best way to upgrade your Mac experience, especially if you’re still using Mac OS X Tiger."
    C. The Snow Leopard EULA is *exactly the same* whether purchased as part of the Box Set product or as part of the OS-only product. Thus, if the EULA is what it clearly says in ordinary language that it is, there are only two possibilities for Tiger users:
    1. They can legally use either product.
    2. They can legally use neither product.
    D. If forum participants should feel uncomfortable about anything, it is suggesting or even hinting to others that it is somehow OK to disregard any part of the EULA without first consulting a lawyer.
