Will Updating my iPhone 4 to iOS 7 Erase my Messages,Contacts & Photos?

Hi, I own a iPhone 4, Well my dad owns an iPhone 4 for 1 year now and iOS 7 Just came out. I am very excited to update my dad's phone to iOS 7 But the only thing i am afraid of is, will his iPhone be fully erased? Will Updating the iPhone wipe the whole phone out? I don't want to mess my dad's phone up because he needs all his data on his phone. My dad has important messages and contacts that he doesn't want erased. He also has photo's that he needs. Is their a way i can retrieve my dad's Photos,Messages and Contacts after Updating to iOS 7, what is the process of updating and retrieving my dad's data from his phone. Someone please reply with a answer!
Your help will be much appreciated!
Thank You,
Amitabh.

I just updated my iphone with iOS 5 and all my photos in my Camera Roll are gone. What gives...

I just update my iphone with the new iOS 5 and all my photos in my Camera Roll have disappeared. I did use iTunes for the upgrade. Are the photos in another place?

If you have failed to make sure that any apps purchased on the iphone were transferred to your computer before updating, then you will have to redownload.
Open itunes store, click Purchased, under Quick Links.

If you have iPhone 3G, the latest and greatest is IOS 4.2.1.
If you have iPhone 3GS or later, you can only update to IOS 6.0.1.
For iPhone 5 and iPad mini, you can update to IOS 6.0.2.

HT1766 will I lose my unlock if I update my iPhone 4S iOS 6.1.3 to iOS 7.0 beta?

You can't update your iPhone to iOS 7 beta unless you are a registered developer with Apple. iOS 7 will not be available to the public until this Fall, so if you are not a developer you'll just have to wait like the rest of us until it is released.
If you are a deveoper then go and ask this question in your own private deveoper forums and don't discuss anything to do with beta software in a public user forum - you are violating the terms of the NDA that you signed.
It does not sound as if you are a developer, so what you are doing would amount to downloading and installing illegal software on your phone.

Since you are a developer, you will need to post in the private developer's forum.

You updated you're phone to 7.0.6? Thats impossible since you can only update to the newest OS version Apple released which is currently 7.1.1. Unless you updated before April 22 and just now posting you're question.

If you chose to update, iOS 6.1.2 will be installed on your phone.

Please note the iPhone 3G can not be upgraded beyond 4.2.1.
If your iDevice is using a version of iOS lower than 5, you will need to use iTunes on your syncing computer to perform the upgrade. Use the Apple link below as a guide for the upgrade.

If you didn't back up the phone to iCloud or iTunes (on your computer) BEFORE attempting the update, the data will be lost.

I just updated my iphone to ios 7 and updated itunes to 11.1. Yesterday I noticed I couldn't move music from my library to my iphone. Today I noticed that most of the music on my iphone is gone. What do I do?

I don't see how the AAC Version thing really applies here - the issue seems to be with
the time it takes for "Preparing to Update" to run when adding new songs and
the fact that a bunch of songs can get temporarily deleted from your phone, then need to be recopied over.
I should also add that I'm using iTunes for Mac (OS 10.6).
And Linda0410, if you view your phone's library in iTunes on your computer while it's copying, you should be able to see a bunch of grayed out songs, and there will be a little indicator on the left hand side of each song that's currently being copied.

Updating my iphone to ios 6

Everytime I try to update my Iphone to ios 6, it starts to update and then after a while I get an error message saying "An error occurred while backing up this iphone (-43). Would you like to continue to update this iphone? Continuing will result in the loss of all contents on this iphone."
What can I do?

Normally you would have all your media in your local library and would just sync to the device. You can access your past purchases from the iTunes store and download any that you need to your iTunes library, or download directly to the device from within the iTunes app.

The friend who sold it to you needed to clear his Apple ID off the phone before he sold it to you. Of course if it wasn't his phone in the first place then he could not do so. He is your friend but you don't know where he is?
There is nothing that will help you short of getting the password for the Apple ID from your friend. If you cannot obtain that there is no workaround.

I updated my iPhone to iOS 7.0.5 and I lost my messages and camera app and other apps i downloaded from app store. I was having the problem of losing apps since before I updated to the latest IOS. What should i do?

I updated my iPhone to iOS 7.0.5 and I lost my messages and camera app and other apps i downloaded from app store. I was having the problem of losing apps since before I updated to the latest IOS. I have tried enable and disable restriction, connecting my phone to my laptop and sync from my computer and none of them is working. What should i do?

Often when this type of thing occurs with missing default apps it is due to a situation where you are unable to 'see' the apps. If you will go to your front display of your device go to settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen layout.
This reset allows for your apps that have for whatever reason been hidden in such an area as you arn't able to find them now to be returned to the area as which they were when you first had the device.
As far as the missing Apps that were purchased through the Apps Store if you will go to settings>itunes and Apps store and click where it reads about automatcally downloading apps clicking on the toggle switch AND clicking on the toggle switch which allows for cellular data to be enabled this then will effectively automatically download all apps to your device that was purchased from the App Store.
Good luck friend.
