Yes. So back up first if it's something you're considering. Right-click on the device name in iTunes and click Backup. This does not back up media (music, etc), so sync that with iTunes first if it's not already on your computer.

My daughter wants her own itunes account. will she lose everything from my account?
My daughter wants her own itunes account. Will she lose everything from our shared account?
Hi Randy,
John is correct, there is no true "sharing" it's more like right of use, but she can still use all the stuff she has from your account on her device, it's just a little tricky. My daughter has had her own account for over a year but she had used my account before that. She has her own iPod, Macbook Pro, and now she just bought her own iPhone.
It had never been a big deal to her until she got her phone because she has to use only her account, my e-mail and stuff she does not need on her phone. So use Home Sharing on your computer with her login and her login on her device. The biggest question is are you using two computers or one? With just a single computer it may make it harder because you really have no way of home sharing (I may stand correctly by someone else though). With two computers you just setup home sharing, login to both iTunes accounts with her login, use her computer (or the second computer) and drag all the stuff over to that iTunes library, music, apps, etc. Then they will be on her computer. Then she just drags them on to her iOS device. They will copy and she can use them.
There is no way around updates though. They can only be updated with the original account, which I believe why John stated use iTunes Plus first, because the will not play at all under a different account login. The only advantage that my daughter wanted to use this for was progress on games, so she wouldn't have to start over. Most of our stuff are free downloads so it was not even a repurchase issue as much as time on a game issue.
If you use only one computer, it should work the same way but I have not tried it so I can not say for sure. Logout of you account name and drag the stuff to her iOS device. -
my iphone 3gs crashed today, if i restore will i lose everything on it?
Once the Device is asking to be Restored with iTunes... it is too late to save anything...
To minimise loss... Connect to iTunes on the computer you Usually Sync with and Restore from the most recent Backup...

If necessary Place the Device into Recovery mode...

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:

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? -
If I send I'm iPhone5 to get fixed will I lose everything on my phone
I went to reset my iPhone5 because the apps weren't working properly so I held down the power and home button, but it didn't turn back on.. I need too send it in to get repaired but I don't want too lose all of my photos, contacts etc . If I send it in will I lose everything?
Yes, Apple replaces iPhone not repair.
You need to backup before hand. -
If I download the newest version of iTunes to my Mac will I lose everything on iTunes from my version i have now
You should lose nothing.
However, this does not change the fact that you should ALWAYS have a backup copy of everything in your computer, including itunes.
You should ALWAYS make sure that your backup copy of your computer is up to date before any update, restore, etc. -
I just got my new iPhone 4 today, can I just plug it up to my computer and it will transfer all of my info from my 3g iPhone to the new one or will I lose everything?
Is this how you backed up your phone http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766 if not then sorry all your contents are gone.

HT4972 Will I lose everything in my iPad if I upgrade it
Will I lose everything in my iPad if I upgrade I've never hooked my iPad up to my desk top
Not everything. See:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
How to dowload purchased music
You can also use a third-party utility to transfer content to your iTunes Library: Phone to Mac - Pod to Mac.
You should then start to make a practice of keeping your device's content stored in your iTunes Library and having backups for use in future upgrades.
Please Get the iPad User Manual for iOS 5 -
currently my iphone and my ipad share data in my icloud account. if i click to turn off my back up and delete all backup data, what will happen? will i lose everything on my ipad, or will it just no longer be stored in icloud?
It will only delete your backup from iCloud.

I have an iPhone 5 and have just set up the iCloud for it. I also have an iPad with different content and I also want to connect it to iCloud. Will I lose everything that's on my iPad or iPhone or do they sync together without losing anything?
The problem is that all services are bundled with your Apple ID ([email protected]):
Your iCloud account (Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Reminders, Notes, Backups, etc.),
also iTunes & App Store purchases (Music, Movies, TV Shows, etc.),
and the iTunes Match services.
(I guess that all your devices - yours and your wife's are connected to one iTunes library, right?)
If you want that your wife gets her own iCloud account for Mail, Contacts, Calendars, etc. but gets also access to your media then you have two set up two things on her device:
iCloud (Settings > iCloud) with her account (e.g. [email protected])
and
iTunes & App Stores (Settings > iTunes & App Stores) with your account (e.g. [email protected]).
In this case she gets access to your library and could use the same iTunes Match account.

Mail on my iPad 2 has stopped working since the latest update. The symbol is on the screen in its' usual place but it either opens briefly, just showing the blank framework for Mail before suddenly quitting, or all the App symbols disappear completelly from the screen. I'm not confident that i know what to do! If I delete the account and reinstate it will I lose everything that was there before? Looking at an earlier question along the same lines it doesn't appear that that would make a difference. If I reset the whole thing will I lose all my documents, photos etc.?
i'd be extremely grateful for some clear guidance!(A) Try reset iPad
Hold the Sleep/Wake and Home button down together until you see the Apple Logo.
Note: Data will not be affected.
(B) Close all apps in the multi-task window
1.Double-click the Home button.
2. Swipe the app's preview up to close it.
3. Preview will fly off the screen. -
My laptop is extremely old and I no longer trust it as its broken on me before.
If I back up my iTunes and put that disc into another pc will I keep all pics, apps, etc or will I lose everything?
Please help!When you go in Preference -> Extension, you can see a folder.
In this you have all data from your iTunes(BackUp, Music, Apps, i think photo also)
- Copy(BackUp) this folder.
- install iTunes on the new pc (same iTunes Version ist better)
- Copy the backup folder on the new pc.
and it works.
Please check the folder and search for your photos.
I hope you can understand my bad english

What does it mean when my ipad is in Recovery mode? It's connected to my imac for software update and it says I must "restore" the ipad before itunes can be used. Will I lose everything on my ipad?
Unless you have a backup from which you can restore, yes you will lose all of your data and settings.
You should be able to sync your content back to the iPad if you have been syncing with iTunes all along. If you don't sync with iTunes, you can download much of your paid content again for free as long as you use the same Apple ID. This explains downloading past purchases.

Unfortunately, at this point, you must restore the device before you can move on. There is nothing you can do to avoid it now. -
Will I lose everything if I delete my last back up
I got a new 5s two weeks ago and backed it up from my old phone. Now it won't back up due to lack of space. I have deleted and turned items off and this hasn't helped. The only thing left to try is deleting my last back up from my old phone. I want to know if doing so will I lose everything and have to start from scratch or as a new phone and not from last back up!?!? Please help!!
Yes. So back up first if it's something you're considering. Right-click on the device name in iTunes and click Backup. This does not back up media (music, etc), so sync that with iTunes first if it's not already on your computer.
