hello. So I have used my iPod touch 4g for 2 years now and need to change the battery. My question is: will I lose everything I have on my iPod like my music,pictures and apps if I change the battery on my iPod touch 4g?
Thanks for answerIf you go to Apple, they will not replace your battery, but exchange your iPod for a refurbished iPod of the same model with a new battery. Therefore you will lose everything that is not backed up. If you change it yourself or have a third party change it, you will most likely not lose anything (but still best to make a backup as lllaass suggested).

i need to know what i should hit on itunes for my phone, it says set up as new phone or restore with backup, i dont want to lose what i have on my phone right now, i just want to put the music i have on itunes on my phone.... what should i do?!?!
OK, we don't have the whole story, but it is likely that you previously synced the phone to a different computer. The iPhone can only be synced to one computer at a time; if you change computers the contents of the new computer will replace the contents of the old computer.
If you restore with backup (assuming the computer you are using has a current backup) you will not lose any app content. If you restore as new you can then add music and apps, but you will lose everything else in your backup. -

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.

I have an Icloud account with my parents but want to make a new one. Will I lose everything that is currently on my phone? i.e. phone numbers, pictures, music
In case you're not clear - iPad/iPhone storage, and iCloud storage, are totally separate. Buying more iCloud storage does not give you more storage space on your device. Your device has a fixed storage space for apps and data (e.g., 16GB - which is more like 12GB in real terms). iCloud storage just allows you to store more documents, mail, photos, etc, in the cloud.

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.

I have a 3GS iPhone, version 3.1.2. I have never plugged my phone into a computer or synced with iTunes. If I do so now, I will I lose everything? What steps need to be taken to ensure that all of my data, contacts, photos, etc. are not lost?

i tunes will not update it says before i open itunes it wasent installed correctly but i dont want to lose everything i have how do i fix this?
It looks like you may have to reinstall itunes.
There are multiple things you should uninstall (and in a certain order) according to apple.
Also, even thought your music and itunes library information should not be affected in the uninstall, I would strongly recomend backing it up. Go to where you keep your music files and make sure you back up everything in the folders "itunes" and "itunes music".
The directions for the reinstall are here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925 They include what to uninstall and in what order. This is for itunes 9 and earlier, but I think it is the same for itunes 10. -
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 am updating my iPhone 4 but have never backed it up. If I select "Set Up as New iPhone" will that erase everything -pictures, layout, downloaded apps?
Yes.

Switching computers i sync with..will i lose everything?
currently, my iphone 3gs is synced with a windows computer, and id like to switch to sync it with my mac. will i lose all my text messages, apps, ect?
i know i can save my contacts in google, but what about everything else? if i back it up on the mac, and then sync all new music, will the backup still keep all the texts and pictures?In regards to iTunes content, an iPhone can be synced or manually managed with music and video with an iTunes library on a single computer only, and photos can be transferred from a single computer only. When transferring iTunes content and photos from another computer, all iTunes content and photos transferred from a different computer will be erased from the iPhone first. SMS/MMS are not iTunes content or photos transferred from your computer and are not included with the iTunes sync process except for being included with your iPhone's backup. SMS/MMS are not touched with syncing an iPhone with another computer as in this situation.
If you transfer your iTunes library from your PC to your Mac per the instructions included with this link, no iTunes content on your iPhone will be erased with the first sync with iTunes on your Mac. This assumes you have Sync Apps selected under the Apps tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes on your PC which means all apps on your iPhone are in your iTunes library on your PC where they should be.

This will replace your iTunes library on your Mac with your iTunes library on your PC. If your Mac's iTunes library imcludes any content that you don't want to lose, you can have more than one iTunes library available on your Mac. Or you can transfer all iTunes content on your iPhone to your iTunes library on your Mac that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store. This assumes you used the same iTunes account on your PC as is used on your Mac. With your iPhone connected and without syncing, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPhone. This will copy all iTunes content on your iPhone that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store only.
Photos/videos in your iPhone's Camera Roll can and should be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera. With a Mac, you can use iPhoto or the Image Capture application for this. The Camera Roll is not touched when syncing an iPhone with iTunes on another computer.
With a Mac, the iPhone supports syncing contacts with the Address Book application. If the Address Book is empty, it contains no contacts that you have entered or imported, before the first sync for this data enter one contact in the Address Book on your Mac. This will provide a merge prompt with the first sync for this data, which you want to select. The same if the Address Book already includes any contacts that you entered or imported. Syncing contacts with the Address Book is selected under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes. The same applies before and with syncing calendar events with iCal on your Mac. -
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

HT1212 When I plug in my iphone into itunes for the first time will i lose everything?
Ive had my iphone for over a year now and it is rather full so was hoping to take stuff off of it and add it to my pc to make room on my phone but i havent yet had it hooked up to itunes on my pc so will i lose everything? please help!
Well, you certainly aren't using it the way Apple intended or describes in the manual, and you have been running a huge risk of losing everything. But if you have never synced it with any computer at all you shouldn't lose anything by syncing now. In iTunes on your computer open Preferences/Devices tab, and check the box to not automatically sync. Then connect the phone. When it appears in iTunes click on its name, then choose "Back Up Now". After you have backed up you can sync safely. If you have photos in the Camera Roll transfer them to a photo app on your computer the same way you would for any digital camera (not using iTunes).
