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.

if i reset network settings to get back my wifi will i lose everything on my ph ? should i back up everything first on pc ?
No you won't lose anything, however you would need to re enter your password for known wifis.
You should already be backing up your phone on a regular basis. -
I can't figure out what is taking up 17.01 GB of memory on my IPhone 5. I have read in these forums that I should restore my IPhone to its original settings, but I am afraid if I do that I will lose all my stuff. I did back my phone up in iCloud by plugging it into my laptop, but I still don't feel i know what Im doing is 100% correct. Can anyone guide me along? I would greatly appreciate the help.
Yes, when you restore as new everything will be wipe from your phone.
You will need to sync with itunes http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1386 to get back your apps/music and contacts IF you sync with a program in itunes.
I suggest you import your pics to your computer http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083 then after you restore your phone, you can sync it back to your phone. -
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.

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? -
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.

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. -
If i run a combo updater to fix a issue will i lose everything?
Hi, I deleted my app store and i was wondering if i run the combo updater will i lose everything? itunes iphoto email etc? i dont have an external hard drive handy so just curious
thanksThere are currently three general methods; external hard or flash drives, burnable DVDs, and storage in the cloud. While other data storage methods exist, they don't have enough capacity for a large amount of data.

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.

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).

Will I lose everything in my iTunes on my old computer if I update it and I haven't updated it in a while?
No. However, the fact that you would ask indicates that you are not maintaining a reliable backup.
Make a backup of your valuable files now. That is more important than updating iTunes. -
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

If i register my iphone before backing up, will i lose everything??
Im trying to back up my phone with iCloud, but its taking literally forever. If I register my phone with iTunes on my computer, will I lose everything on my phone??
Yes, if you restore a backup then you will lose your current data. You can choose one or the other ...
Unless somehow you have the old data you want as well as the new data on your computer or somewhere else (not in your iPhone backup).
