Will I lose data (photos) when I do a reset and no iCloud reservecopy was made recently?

My iPad is stuck and only shows the message that no iCloud reservecopy was made for several weeks. Despite having enough storage, wifi and it being connected to the charger, it still hasn't made a copy. Now I'm thinking about a reset (pressing home and standby button simultaneously for ten secs.) but does that mean that I will lose the data (photos videos) that weren't copied to iCould? I know that similar questions have been asked and answered, but none (as fas as I can see) with the specific situation where no iCould copy was made.
Many thanks in advance,
Hans

Try a reset:
Hold the Sleep and Home button down (approximately 10 seconds) until you see the Apple logo.
Note: Data will not be affected.

  • Will I lose my photos when upgrading iPhoto after updating to Mavericks?

    I recently upgraded to Mavericks and can't access iPhoto and need to upgrade. I currently have 9.3 but I did not back up my library. Will I lose my photos when I upgrade?

    For this you can simply make a copy on the internal drive if you have space - that is enough for an upgrade - but you must have a large external drive and have a continuing backup system if your photos have any value at all to you  - Time Machine is a good start

  • Will I lose all of my apps if i reset my ipad in order to fix blurry photos on ipad??

    some photos in my ipad are blurry! will i lose all of my apps if l reset my ipad?

    When you perform the restore make sure you back up the iPad (itunes will prompt you when you restore), that way it will keep all of the data, if you are restoring on a computer that is not the original one you synced to ensure you right click the ipad in the devices menu on the left in itunes and 'transfer purchases'.
    You can ALWAYS re-download app for free using your apple ID that you purchased them with so its not the biggest issue if you lose them.
    Hope this helps!

  • HT4623 Will I lose my photos and information if I restore and update?

    I just received the following message when updating my phone.  It says my phone is in recovery mode and I need to restore.  Will I lose my photos and information if I restore and update?

    IF your phone is in recovery mode, then all data is off the phone already.
    You will need to restore your phone but you can use your icloud or itunes backup to get your information back.
    I assume you back up on a regular basis right?

  • I'm using aperture 3 and mobile me to set up galleries which I send to friends. My question. Will icloud allow me to do the same or will i lose this function when mobile me closes down in July.

    I'm using aperture 3/mobile me to set up photo galleries which I send to friends. My question. Will icloud allow me to do the same or will I lose this function when mobile me closes down in July. If this function isn't part of icloud does anybody have any suggestions how I can do this in future through aperature. Thank you 

    You will have to find a new hosting service for your galleries, when MM is gone; but you will still be able to create the galleries with Aperture. Export them to your disk and upload them via FTP to your new hosting service.

  • Downloaded Yosemite, logged out of iPhoto, will I lose my photos upon reinstall?

    So I just downloaded and installed Yosemite onto my MacBook Pro. I need to update my iPhoto but apparently I didn't use my usual Apple login to get it? When I try to update and put in my Apple ID, it says "This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled." Okay, not awful, I'll just delete it and reinstall it on my Apple ID. But I'm afraid I'll lose all of my photos because when I go into the iPhoto folder in my Finder, my old photos aren't there and I get the message "Last login: Mon Oct 20 16:26:51 on ttys (a bunch of numbers):iPhoto Library.photolibrary (my name)". Help? Will I lose my photos if I delete my current iPhoto? What do I do?

    Drag the library to a volume formatted as Mac OS Extended on an external drive, delete iPhoto, and reinstall it.

  • HT202664 my iphoto is under an old apple ID, how do I upgrade using my current ID? The current Iphoto is not working after the software upgrade. If I delete the iphoto app will i lose my photo library?

    I have a MacBook pro I recently upgraded to OSX. iPhoto is now not working as it was purchased under an old apple ID and I cant find a way to use my current ID to upgrade it. Also if I delete iPhoto to then repurchase it, will I lose my photo library?

    1. iPhoto won’t run any differently based on the Apple ID it’s associated with, but can only be updated from that one.
    2. No. Back it up anyway.

  • My iPhone 4 has never backed up to anything, the account I started it with I never used. I now have a new icloud account, if I delete the old one will I lose my photos or will they still be on my phone?

    My iPhone 4 has never backed up to anything, the account I started it with I never used so I was never able to verify it or anything. I now have a new icloud account and I want to backup my phone before I get a new one in a couple of days. If I delete the old account will I lose my photos or will they still be on my phone (remember they've never been backed up)? Thanks!

    You cannot delete an Apple ID, you can just stop using it. If your photos are still on your phone now, then I suggest you do back them up. Transfer them from the phone into your iPhoto Library. iCloud only backs up your Camera Roll automatically. But the Camera Roll only contains new photos that were taken but not yet transferred using iTunes.

  • Will I lose my library when I remove Itunes to install the new program

    Will I lose my library when I delete the old version of ITunes to install the new program ?

    No, though you should back up your library anyway. See this User Tip for a backup strategy.
    You don't need to uninstall your current copy of iTunes to upgrade to a new build.

  • Archive and Install - will I lose my photos?

    Hi
    I need to reinstall OS X as I am having some problems with the blue screen and the fact that my iBook will not boot up. Before I go ahead and reinstall can anyone confirm that I will not lose my photos (and music). I really do not want to lose years worth of photos. (I know, I should have made a bcak up!)
    Thank you

    Hi JTatro
    An Arhive and Install will keep your documents, photos, files, etc, in a folder called previous system, so no, you won't lose them.
    But to be safer still, it would be even better to backup these precious files to another location, like to DVD or another drive.
    If this answered your question, please consider awarding stars.

  • Will I lose data if I upgrade from Leopard to Snow Leopard?

    I have OS X version 10.5.8 (Leopard).  I bought Snow Leopard 10.6.3 to upgrade my OS but have not installed it yet. I plan to upgrade to the latest OS (Yosemite) for free after upgrading to Snow Leopard.  Will I lose data by doing this? 

    99.9% of the time: no, but there's always a (extremely little) chance that something goes wrong, so make sure you set up Time Machine before upgrading.

    Most Simple Back Up:
    Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
    Slightly more complex: Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically.
    Example of such apps: Chronosync - but there are many others. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store

  • HT4236 if i sync with ipad using pc will i lose my photos in the ipad phot library?

    if i sync with ipad using pc will i lose my photos in the ipad phot library?

    You won't lose photos that you've taken with the iPad, copied to it via the camera connection kit or saved from emails/websites - those photos aren't affected by syncing.
    If they are photos that were originally synced from a computer and this isn't the same computer, then you should be prompted as to whether you want them replacing - but there is a risk that they will be removed.

    I would "guess", since you were in the middle of backing up, your backup is corrupt & most likely unusable. Only one way to find out though, & that's by trying to restore from that backup. If your pics are not there, they are gone.
