Will updating my iPhone 5 to iOS 7 delete anything?
I'm planning to download iOS 7 when it comes out in a few days, and I was wondering if it would delete anything. I read online that it would delete everything, then restore it again, but I still didn't know if app data would still be preserved or not. If you back it up to iTunes, will app data still be backed up? I've updated my old iPhone 4 to iOS 6 and it deleted everything, and sadly, I didn't back it up :/ Thank you!

It is always prudent and recommended to Backup before any major Update / Upgrade.

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,

Will updating my iphone 4 to ios 6 using over the air delete any thing
My iphone is running on ios 5.1.1 and i want to upgrade it to ios 6.0.1 using over the air.I want to know that will it delete my apps,contacts or any thing
No, no data should be deleted. You may have to reload the Google Maps and the youTube Apps from the App Store since they are not bundled in iOS 6. You will still be able to sign into your youTube account (if you had one).

I have a G5 which I intend to keep.
Now that I have updated my iphone 4s to iOS 7.0.
I cannot add music to my iphone or upload photos to iphoto.
I have the last itunes 10.6.3. which was supported by apple.
itunes will not interact with my iphone on any level.
Apple made all the equipment I use.
Bentley and Ferrari etc do not stop making parts for their cars?
The least Apple could is.
A. Update itunes to run on a G5
Regarding iOS 7.0 you have totally lost the plot.
We buy apple why?
Quality.
Intuitive interface.
Stable software.
Design.
All that Steve Jobs consider sacrosanct.
Quality is about ongoing support longevity of product.
Its not about trying to sell to every person on the planet, others are way ahead of you.
So try respective the customers you have, it wont be long before theirs a better operating system and your lead in hardware is marginal.

My post on facebook this morning.
If you have an iPhone or iPad do not update to ISO 7 unless you want an operating system that looks like windows 8. The graphics looks like it was designed by a artistically challenged mongoose and the operating system is not intuitive something apple users expect. Overly complicated ugly and generally change for the sake of apples paranoia since the death of Steve Jobs.You need to update iTunes to 11.1 on your PC

I updated my iPhone 5S to iOS 7.0.2 and iBooks will not load anything from the Store- I cannot search or even view my purchases.
Also Safari keeps crashing. I have shut down the phone and restarted it twice and that hasn't helped. Any ideas?Libellen wrote:

The Update would not have Installed if it was not suitable for your Device.

... anyhowe the phone is now totaly "dead" and will not turn on
First try a Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least Ten seconds... (But can take Longer)... until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons
If no joy... Try a Restore...
1: Connect the device to Your computer and open iTunes.
2: If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane.
Restoring > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
3: If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try using the Steps in this article to force the device into Recovery Mode.
Note on Recovery Mode.
You may need to try this More than Once... Be sure to Follow ALL the Steps...
Once you have Recovered your Device...
Re-Sync your Content or Restore from the most Recent Backup...

Since updating my iphone 4S to ios 7.1 my phone will no longer ring and apps do not have sound. I have made sure the do not disturb is not turned on and have also gone into Accessibility and made sure sound is not off there. I have done a reboot and also a reset of the settings. When I set my ring tone, the sample tone plays, however, the phone only vibrates when I get a call. The apps also do not have any sound. Everything was working fine until the update.
I am positive the half moon isn't there. That one caught me once before so now I am careful to check.
Thanks for the idea tho! -
After updating my iPhone 5 to iOS 8.1 it will not connect to the wifi network at work even though it recognizes it. It however still automatically connects to the network at home (this is the network I used to update the phone). My iPad however does not seem to have any problem connecting. I have restared the phone, toggled the router, re-entered the network password but there's still no connection.
When your device is trying to connect to the work Wi-Fi network, go to Settings > Wi-Fi > then tap on the name of the Netowrk that she is having trouble with. Then tap on forget this network. Let the device attempt to connect again and make absolutely sure she is trying to connect to the work network and not a nearby network, then make absolutely sure the password is entered correctly.

I just updated my iPhone 6 to IOS 8.3. My safari will not let me search anything. If I type in a website URL, the Go button is greyed out. If I type in something to search on google, I press Go and nothing happens. Does anyone know how to fix this?
I have cleared history, reset my phone, tried using wifi and mobile data.I have this problem too and have tried all suggestions to fix, with no luck.
Safari did work for a short time by switching to Private, but stopped working soon after -
Just recently updated an iPhone 4 to iOS 7. Having trouble activating iMessage. It will not connect to network. Any help ?? All connections are fine other apple devices are working
Hey X300X,
Thanks for the question. I understand you are experiencing issues with iMessages. The following article may help to resolve your issue:
iOS: Troubleshooting Messages
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2755
You may also want to reset your network settings:
Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
Note: this will delete any network related settings (saved Wi-Fi passwords, etc), it will not erase any content from your device.
Thanks,

My camera roll will not restore from iCloud after updating my iPhone 4 to iOS 6. It shows I have 1.7 gigs of photos stored on camera roll but none are appearing on my phone. Everything else restored from iCloud. When I go to iCloud.com my photostream is not there.
A response I put together from another post. Also going into iTunes and choosing to sync phone to iCloud then back "this computer" sometimes works.
First thing.. Stop where you are. Don't try to sync, update, hard reset, iCloud... Just stop.
Check on your phone under 'SETTINGS' 'GENERAL' USAGE'. It should show some value for PHOTOSTREAM. Also, connect to iTunes and you will notice at the bottom of your phones summary page that there is a large amount of 'OTHER' data.
I used third party software called iExplorer (formerly iPhone explorer). In this program you select 'MEDIA FOLDER', then 'DCIM'. In the various apple folders (IE: 101APPLE) you should be able to preview your photos and copy them to your desktop.
From there sync them back to your device through iTunes or whatever method you use.
There is a simpler solution I'm sure, which may involve using iExplorer to delete some .plist files then restart the phone and let it rebuild. I'm going to try it myself AFTER I've finished copying all the photos to my MAC
Hope this helps. -

Update my iPhone 5 to iOS 7 days ago and still neither my iMessage nor FaceTime will let me log in and I am only spastically getting even normal texts. Does anyone now how to fix this issue?
ACTIVATING FACETIME AND IMESSAGES
Activating Facetime and Imessages on your phone requires the ability to send SMS messages and depending upon where you are that might be an international SMS. Check with your carrier to see if your plan supports sending of international SMS messages. If you are having trouble activating Facetime or Imessages turn them both off on your device and reset the device (Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for device to restart (no data will be lost)). Wait for the device to restart and wait a minute and turn Facetime and imessage back on and wait for activation. If that does not fix things read the following articles:
