Will i lose everything on my itunes now ifi upgrade to itunes 7?
i have so much on my itunes now
and my iphone wont sync until i have itunes 7.
but i dont want to lose everything.
No, I meant you should be backing things up to CD, DVD, or an external hard drive. It's just good practice. What if your hard drive goes bad?
I can't guaranty that you won't lose anything. You shouldn't. I've upgraded every time a new version comes out and never lost anything. But, well, things happen. Back up first, upgrade second.
Best of luck.

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. -
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.

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?

Why did I update my ios 6 through wifi only for it to ask me to connect to itunes and now its making me restore it? Will I lose everything?
It's in recovery mode. You don't have a choice. Anything that was on the phone is already gone. If you didn't back it up, there is no way to recover it.

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. -
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. -
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).

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. -
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? -
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).

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

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...

If I download itunes on a new computer will I lose everything in my library
If I install Itunes on a new computr=er will I lose everything I've purchased?
Your iTunes library is not part of the iTunes software download. It resides locally on your computer.
You need to transfer your iTunes library from the old computer to the new one.
Copy the whole iTunes folder in Music on the old computer to the same location (Music) on the new computer, replacing the iTunes folder that was created during the iTunes install.
iTunes folder locations for Windows:
Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\{username}\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\
Windows Vista: C:\Users\{username}\Music\
Windows 7: C:\Users\{username}\My Music\
Windows 8: C:\Users\{username}\My Music\ -
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.
