Updating iPhone 5 software to iOS7?
I've got text messages that I really don't want to lose; I'm not so concerned about the apps and photos and whatnot because those can be backed up.
I want to update to the iOS 7 system, but I'm afraid of losing the texts. Are there any problems with this happening, or should I be safe to do it?
And if not, what steps can I take to prevent (at least) losing the messages (i.e., I don't care if they're stored on my computer instead of my phone, I just want to keep them in some shape or form.)
Just go to service section they can help you. I thing yes. But not sure
Just back it up in itunes, you should do this anyways everynow and then. If you backup to icloud, you can go to http://www.icloud.com/...icloud.com and view what you have backed up. You should be fine after upgrading the OS regardless, but always do that anyways.
The texts can be backup as well, using the same method as backing up the app data.iTunes.
- Would updating the software on my iPhone (4s) delete everything off it? So I just got a notification to my phone that said new software update. I clicked close because I didn't know wheather it would delete everything off my phone. But if I do update my software, will everything be deleted off of it?
- Will updating my iPhone software use more space? I currently run on 7.0.4 and I could be running 8.4. I missed a few updates because I only use my phone for music. I have every megabyte devoted to music and I don't really see the point in downloading more software if it is going to take up valuable space on my phone. Would updating my software actually use more space, or would the new updates cause the software to become more compact? Some people tell me that the new software is significantly smaller but I seriously doubt it.
- Will updating my iPhone's software delete purchased apps and songs? I'm going to update my iPhone's 6.1.4 software to ios 7 when it is released in a few days. Some of my apps aren't available in the App Store anymore so will the update delete these apps off my phone?
- Will updating my iPhone apps affect my phone speed as how updating the Operating System (OS) will? Currently I'm using the iPhone 5s on iOS 8.3 I know if I were to update my phone to the latest OS I may notice some slowdown on my phone's performance, since it may not have the "muscle" to handle certain functions. Many apps now are optimised for iOS 9 and/or the 6th generation phones. Will my 5s' speed performance slow down if I update my apps? Will the app's performance slow down?
