Will i lose my songs and pictures if i upgrade my iphone to the 5.0 version if this isn't the original computer i used when i first got itunes?

Will I lose my songs and pictures if i upgrade my iphone to the 5.0 version if the computer i am going to do it on is not the original computer i had itunes on, my old computer died!

You can back up your Iphone in Itunes on any computer. Then restore after the upgrade if it was erased. iTunes has an option to even pick which backup file you want to use. I believe its pressing the alt key holding it and pressing restore. I did it on a windows pc so might be different. for a big update, apple iOS's are generally good with keeping files, but its always a good idea to back up your device. I just upgraded my MBP to Lion and didnt loose anything.

  • If I make an apple Id,will I lose my songs and apps

    If I make an apple Id,will I lose my songs and apps?

    You can create another Apple ID for yourself. The songs and Apps you bought will remain on your device. Whenever there will be an update to an App bought with your mum's Apple ID though, you will be prompted to enter her Apple ID and its password.
    Same thing with the songs. If you delete them at anytime, a re-download will require her Apple ID and its password.
    Apart from that, don't worry about creating a new Apple ID, you can have several different Apple IDs... just don't mess them up.

  • Will I lose my sms and notes if I upgrade to 6.0.1

    I have an iPhone 4 which currently is running on iOS 6. Will I lose my sms and notes if I upgrade to iOS 6.0.1? Other things I am not worried about. SMS is a must. Please suggest a wayout.

    If you are updating from iOS 6, you won't lose data. However, you must make an iTunes or iCloud backup before updating in case the update fails and you have to restore the iPhone

  • Will i lose my pics and texts if i restore my iphone

    will i lose my pics and texts if i restore my iphone

    If you can restore from an iTunes backup, you will get the information back listed in "iTunes will back up the following information" here:
    iTunes: About iOS backups
    That should include texts.  Photos will depend on where they are on your computer.

  • Who do I contact to help me get into my icloud account as it is telling me to log into an old email I used when I first got my iPhone, I recently changed the email and password, it is right but telling me to sign into my old one.. How do I contact apple?!

    I pretty much said everything in the question haha, please help! :)

    If you need to change the iCloud ID on your phone, go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with the new ID.  This deletes the account and your iCloud data from your device, but not from iCloud.  Provided you are signing back into the same account, your iCloud data will reappear on your device when you sign back in.
    To avoid losing photo stream photos, save them to your camera roll (if not already there) before deleting the account.  To do this, open your my photo stream album, tap Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll.

  • HT1311 To create a new apple ID, if I sign out of the current Apple ID account, and then sign in with a newly created account, will I lose any songs or apps on my phone or computer that were downloaded from the old apple ID?

    To create a new apple ID, if I sign out of the current Apple ID account, and then sign in with a newly created account, will I lose any songs or apps on my Iphone and Macbook Pro computer that were downloaded from the old apple ID?

    No, you will not loose anything.  However, if you ever need to update any of that previously purchased content, or re-download it, you will have to use the older AppleID.  Purchases are permanently tied to the AppleID you use when making the purchase.

  • When switching my iphone to a new apple ID will i lose my songs, apps, and imessages?

    i currently share an itunes account with several people and devices. i would like to make my own apple ID. When switching my iphone to the new apple ID will i lose my songs, apps, and/or imessage conversations?

    You need a valid/working email address in order to create an account.
    Create a NEW account/ID for her using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before. Make sure you specify a birthdate that results in being at least 13 years old

    More details of how:
    http://ipadhelp.com/ipad-help-tips-tricks/how-to-get-free-apps-from-the-app-stor e-without-a-credit-card/
    Use the new ID on her iPod but only for:
    Settings>Messages>Send and Receive
    Settings>FaceTime
    Settings>GameCenter
    and Settings>iCloud if you want her to have separate Contacts Calendar and some other things.   
    Continue to use the same/common Apple ID for Settings>iTunes and App stores so you can share purchases.
    Note that if yo chaghe acounts in Settings>iTunes and App Store media will NOT be deleted from the ipod but:
    - Apps are locked to the account that purchased them.
    - To update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased the apps. If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account.

  • HT1444 If i download the new OS X Mountain Lion to my Macbook Pro that has Snow Leopard, will i lose my apps and downloads (such as: Microsoft word, powerpoint, excel, oovoo, skype) and will i lose all of my pictures/documents and information?

    If i download the new OS X Mountain Lion to my Macbook Pro that has Snow Leopard, will i lose my apps and downloads (such as: Microsoft word, powerpoint, excel, oovoo, skype) and will i lose all of my pictures/documents and information?

    I should just change the OS and leave all your apps and data alone.  That said, if any of your apps are old and use Rosetta (ppc apps), they won't run under Mountain Lion.
    Make sure you take a good Time Machine or Clone backup before you convert.

  • HT1420 I have an old iphone 3G with 1900 songs and pictures that I want to put in my current itunes library, so they will sync in to my new iphone 5s.

    I have an old iphone 3G with 1900 songs and pictures that I want to put in my current itunes library, so they will sync in to my new iphone 5s.  How can I transfer this info into my new library?
    Thanks

    You can transfer the purchases you made on your old iPhone 3 by plugging it in to iTunes and doing File > Devices > Transfer Purchases from your IPhone to the iTunes on your computer.  This will get music you purchased in iTunes, apps, etc.  (e.g., movies).
    But for the rest you would need to restore a backup of your newly deceased computer.

    You will not lose anything by changing the AppleID on your iPhone.

    No, but you should always have a backup just in case something goes wrong, whether or not you are updating anything.

  • HT4137 if i restore my ipod will i lose all of my pictures ?

    If I restore my ipod will I lose all of my pictures ?

    Yes, unless you create a backup of your iPod before you restore it via iTunes.  See here for what is included in the backup.
    iTunes: About iOS backups
    And information on how to backup your device.
    iOS: How to back up
    If these were synced photos, they won't be included in the backup that you can make via iTunes or iCloud, but since they originally were synced from your PC, they should still be there.

  • If I update to ios6 will I lose all of my pictures?

    If I update my iPhone 4 to iOS 6, will I lose all of my pictures?

    Back up your phone in iTunes before updating or restoring the phone with iOS 6. Then you'll be prompted to choose between restoring the data on the phone before the update/restore or setting it up as new. Your pictures should still be there afterward as long as you dont set up your phone as a new phone. My pictures on both my iPhone 4s and iPad 2 were still there after I did it.
    Its also best to go to your iPhones camera folder and copy all the pictures to your computer.

  • HT1212 I have disabled my ipod since I forgot may password; if restored will I lose my videos and media?

    I have disabled my ipod since I forgot may password; if restored will I lose my videos and media?  How can I enable my ipod without losing some of my pictures and videos etc?

    You have to place the iPod in Recovery Mode and restore via iTunes. This will erase the iPod. You can restoire from backup to get back to when the backup was made.

  • ICloud on my iphone hasn't been backed up for 2 months because I havnt got enough iCloud space, now I have a new PC if I just log into iTunes will I lose any songs or is it a different iCloud ??x

    iCloud on my iphone 5 hasn't been backed up for a while because I've run out of iCloud space. I now have a new PC and wanted to use iTunes on it, if I just log in will I lose some songs or is it a different iCloud thing ??x

    Try signing out of iCloud completely.  That message shouldn't pop up if you aren't signed into iCloud at all.
    Unfortunately I can't, as this would disable the Find My iPhone feature.  Or were you suggesting I disable iCloud only temporarily?
