Will I lose everything on my iphone if I restore it
Will I lose everything on my iphone if I restore it. photos, contacts, music
It will erase everything.
If you have been using the iphone as designed, tehn everything will be on your computer, and you can sync it back.
You should be importing all pics taken with the iphone to your comptuer regularly as you would with any digital camera.
You should have been syncing your iphone contacts with your computer from day one.
All music should be on your computer in itunes.
Have you failed to do these things?

I want to use my own email and credit card and manage my own account but I don't know how to do this and I'm hoping that I don't lose everything on my iphone right now.
Hi Rileycarline,
You can easily have an iCloud account that is separate from the Apple ID that is used for iTunes purchases. Take a look at the article below to walk you through that specific setup process of have an account for iCloud and one for Store purchases.
Set up your Apple ID for iCloud and iTunes

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? -
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?

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). -
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).

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.

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. -
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

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.

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.

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. -
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...

Will i lose everything if i facotry reset?
will i lose everything if i factory reset my iphone 4?
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.
