The applications will stay, however some applications do not store data in a way compatible with an upgrade. To that end any saved information may be lost.

Will the upgrade delete photo titles/labels?

Just got a new iMac (lucky me!), planning to migrate 150GB of pics & movies from an iMac G5 (iLife '05 I think) this weekend. Does anyone know if the labels I typed in for thousands of photos will be lost if I upgrade?
I once had kernel panics with a crappy router on my old G5. In this case an iPhoto rebuild with iPhotoLibraryManager did not retrieve the labels, just the photos, albums and folders.
All very disappointing news, having held off buying for the past two months until iLife '11 came out. Any rumours of imminent bug fixes to all these problems?
cheers, Rossy

There are reports of an update being "imminent" but this is Apple and there's always something in the offing. If you can wait a couple of days then I would.
As always, make sure you have a back up.

Restoring 1st gen touch to re-sell, will Software Upgrade be erased?

I am getting rid of my ipod touch, but I need to restore it to factory settings. However, I want to apply the software update (which includes the App Store). Is this software update applicable after I restore my Touch?

Yes restoring iPod Touch back to factory will bring back the current Software you already installed on the touch.
So if touch had 2.0 and above. The touch will have this OS reinstalled back onto it fresh and clean. If there is a newer version your iTunes will offer to download it and use it. Any version 2.0 and above will include the App Store.

Have an iPad mini with latest software upgrade 8.1.2. Verizon Messaging on use after working for 1 yr. deleted app and downloaded fresh app. Same problem. Neither Apple support or Verizon store support could find problem. Sometimes can type txt befor it

Have an iPad mini with latest software upgrade 8.1.2. Verizon Messaging app crashes on use after one year with no problems. I deleted the app and downloaded a clean version. It crashes whether or not I have any apps running in the background. Sometimes I can type part of a message before it crashes. Other times it crashes as soon as I try to use the app at all. Neither Apple Support nor Verizon store staff could find any reason for the problems. Any ideas??
THE TEXT SHOULD SAY THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE APP CRASHING Message was edited by: Steady_RI

Steady_RI, thanks for keeping us posted. Did you uninstall that application by pressing/holding down the icon until the (X) appears? Tap the (X) to delete it. Once the application has been deleted, you will need to reset the network settings on your device in Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings. Power that device off/on and then download the application again. Additionally, we also recommend that you disable Wi-Fi and connect to our network to test the messaging feature again.

Problems with contacts getting deleted after software upgrade!

Somehow, my IPhone 4s had a software upgrade, and it DELETED contacts. Anyone else have a problem with this???? UGH!
I had a thunderbolt before my IPhone, and my contacts were saved to the verizon back up assistant. They are now nowhere to be found!

If you were already using iOS 5 where you using the iCloud feature to back up your device? If so, you should be able to retrieve your contacts. If you just upgraded to iOS 5 where you backing up your device on your computer via iTunes? You were advised to complete a backup prior to proceeding with the software update...if you did so then a copy of your back up should be available in iTunes. Try looking at the following link to see if it helps:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414
If you did not do a backup and you were not using iCloud to do backups then you would need re-sync your contacts from another source...did you use a contact manager on your computer (such as Outlook)? If you did then you can retrieve your contacts from there. Try looking at this link to see if it helps. If it is not the correct one you can do a search on that site to find the article that better fits your needs.

Data deleted after software upgrade

Help! I connected my iphone 3 into itunes and accepted the software upgrade on offer. I now have lost ALL data incuding precious photos. Don't care about message threads or settings, but I do care about photos. I have imported my contacts back in from my SIM card but am at a loss as to how this happened when I just selected the standard prompts to update software. I am using another PC as my regular PC is not working, so cannot get photos off that from my last syncing. Thanks

Well, some info:
Apple assumes that all photos in the Photo Library you also have on your computer and thus it's no problem if the sync/update process deletes them, because you can re-sync them from your computer just like you did in the first place. This is true of all photos, video, music, which Apple calls "media". The iPhone is NOT a backup.
Syncing with a new computer offers a warning that it is going to delete all media from the phone and replace it with media from the new computer, at which point you should have canceled. You are only allowed to sync media from one computer at a time.
Syncing with a new computer should have backed up your phone first, and that would include the photos in the Camera Roll, that you took with the phone; but NOT the photos in the Photo Library, that you synced to the phone. The backup should also include data saved within apps. So you might be able to Restore from Backup to get some stuff back, or use a third-party utility to pull your Camera Roll photos from the backup file on the computer. Assuming iTunes backed up first.
Failing that, I don't think I've heard of any way to undo loss of media due to syncing with a new computer. You might ask google.

My iPad 2 will not complete the download of software upgrade 6.1.2?

Hi. My iPad 2 will not complete the download and install of the iso 6.1.2 software upgrade to fix the calendar exchange that is draining battery. It goes through the process and then just says there is an error but does not indicate the error. Any ideas gratefully accepted.
Also I don't know if it is connected but it also will not download new apps or iBook I purchased. Please assist if you can.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off the router and then power it back on
- Reset network settings: Settings>General>reset>Reset Network Settings. You will have to rejoin all networks

Neither software upgrade or Snow Leopard install disk will upgrade

Neither software upgrade or Snow Leopard install disk will upgrade
I run 10.5.5 and have tried to update my OSX using software upgrade and when I click install it greys out then a few seconds later it turns blue again and nothing happens.
So I purchased Snow Leopard hoping that would fix the problem. Well I insert the DVD and click install Snow Leopard, same thing, I click the blue install button, turns grey then a few seconds later turns blue again and nothing happens so I CANNOT UPGRADE!!
Anyone have some advice where to start?

Hi eastwooddesign;
Upgrading to fix problems usually doesn't succeed and generally make them worst.
Exactly what Snow Leopard disk do you have?
Did you boot from that DVD?

Will not synch photos after software upgrade

Last night I put the new software upgrade on my iPhone and iPad. Not problems with iPhone. After installation i synched the iPad and it went through the entire process but with the photographs it said it could not find the file and therefore did not synch to photos. Looking on the iPad I only find a few phgotoigraphs synched, the rest are not there. This worked OK until I upgraded the new iPad software.

That problem occurs sometimes. The fix is to usually delete your iPod Photo Cache folder (yes it is labeled iPod even for a iPad). See the following for the locations:

Epson Workforce 845 will not print after IPad software upgraded

All worked well before I upgraded my Ipad2 software yesterday. No longer prints. Message when I press print says it is searching for an AirPrint printed, and finds none on my network. Nothing has changed except the software upgrade. hat must I do?

Thanks...other computers on the wireless network continue to work well. The Epson Workforce 845 is an approved printer on AirPrint. Trying to find a printer setup screen on the iPad without success. When I bought the new wireless printer, it worked right out of the box with the iPad.
I am tempted to restore the software to the original factory settings through iTunes but fear losing everything that has been added since I got it. A disclaimer on iTunes says I can back all up, and later reinstall after I reset to original factory settings, but I am skeptical. Any experience in this area?

Unstable finder since recent (~4/20) 'software upgrade"

PB G3 aluminum 15" with OSX.4.11
Recent automatic 'software upgrade' on ~4/20/09 has rendered my G3 PB unstable.
Software included new Safari, iTunes, Security, etc.
In ANY other program window, etc. the PB now shifts back to the FINDER about every 10-15 seconds .... rebooting the entire finder each time.
Is there any way to delete or modify or remove these 'upgrades' ... so that I can get back to 'normal' operation. This computer is being used to control ALL software/instrmentation on a boat that is traveling the high seas (through the 3rd world) and its function vitally important (for navigation, safety etc.) that I return back to a 'stable' OS.
HOW DO I DELETE OR REMOVE THESE RECENT 'SOFTWARE UPGRADES' ???????????????
All 'extraneous' items such as 'sleep', screen saver, etc. have been turned off ... without result.
Will appreciate ANY help given.

Hi Richard, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Let me define the 'instability' present with the finder .... every 15 or seconds, and no matter which program/application Im working, the finder reboots itself and the finder comes to front of the stack of windows (sorry to use that word). All applications 'default' to the finder being listed in apple menu bar; the applications are still active but the finder becomes the 'dominant' window at every ~seconds.
Most likely it's Stuffit AVR, though a few others have been implicated see if System Preferences has a Stuffit Pref Pane. click stop...
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1873700&tstart=0
One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for action in Safe Mode...
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.
Reboot, test again.
If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it is some 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...

E-mail notification doesn't work after software upgrade

Based on the recommendation of a sales rep; I did the software upgrade yesterday and have had nothing but problems. All the e-mail accounts didn't work. So I spent an hour getting my e-mails setup and guess what?
Even though I have it setup to check every 10 minutes; it doesn't work. I have to manually go to each account and click on the 2 arrows to check. I used to get a flashing blue light on my phone when I had a new e-mail; now I don't.
What's going on???????????????

All files and more lost with software upgrade

hello
my in-laws called me in a panic yesterday. they used the software upgrade to install 10.5.2 and could not find their entourage mail program anymore, it was gone, so were all the files in their document folder. i connected through ichat to their computer (had to set up the accounts again, as the old ones were lost) and yes, it is all gone, though documents they saved in the applications folder are still there.
i called tech support for them and was told that programs that are left open during installation will be deleted. isn't it impossible to continue installation until programs are quit? why would all their files be gone from the document folder? also gone were their ichat ids and safari bookmarks. it felt like an erase and install but all they did was the software install which i assume is a default installation?
no, no back ups for them. they just recently acquired this computer on our recommendation that they would have less trouble with a mac than a pc with vista. but now this.
they will be talking with tech support soon, but i have little faith in them, so i am asking here. what could have happened?
thanks,
marianna

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
One thing which may have happened is this article:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107854
However, this is an important lesson for everyone. It is not a question of if data will be lost, but when.
See my FAQ* on backing up as to other possible recovery strategies, and make sure everyone knows never, ever install an update without backing up first. Regardless of the cause, data will eventually get lost, and updates are often the most frequent events where they happen as they change the system much like changing the guts of an automobile.

HH3 no software upgrade has occurred and HH3 keeps...

Hi,
My HH3 has been installed for a while now, over 4 months, and no software upgrade has ever occurred on it. Currently the Software version is 4.7.5.1.83.8.57 (Type A). The hub works fine and I am getting a speed out of it that is fine for the exchange I am on and the distance from the exchange. The hub now seems to be restarting itself at about 03:15hrs every day. This has been going on since the 7th. June and will last for anything from 1 - 9 days constantly restarting at about the same time every day. This is the message logged into the router last night when the restart occurs:
( 29.860000) Auto channel selection (reason 'Power up') is complete. Selected channel: 6, noise data&colon; 1-(-111) 2-(-112) 3-(-112) 4-(-112) 5-(-112) 6-(-112) 7-(-113) 8-(-110) 9-(-110) 10-(-110) 11-(-110) 12-(-112) 13-(-113).
Could this be the software upgrade trying to install or is there another issue? The settings on the HH3 are basically factory settings. My concern is that with all this restarting is my profile being affected and by association am I getting the best speed possible.
The last restart was last night and below I have posted the current settings. Any help on this would be appreciated.
Thanks Alan.

your noise margin is a little higher than normal but nothing to worry about it looks like the hub may be trying to update you could try to do a factory reset of the hub and see if that solves the problem
