Will I lose everything on my iPhone if I update it?
Hi, I have an iPhone 4S and it says an update is available, I have no Wi-Fi in my house for personal reasons so it lets me do it via mobile data. I had to go to a shop for them to set up my iPhone as I had no Wi-Fi so I couldn't, I was wondering if I will lose anything and will It restore so that I would have to set It up again via Wi-Fi? I don't fancy making another trip to the shop to be honest, especially in all this snow. I just want to be able to update it without It restoring my iPhone? I'm sorry, I can't really explain myself properly I hope you understand this haha. X
Make sure you back it up to the computer! Just update and then everything will be back to your phone after it updates!
You won't if you back it up to your computer first, and when your iPhone has been updated click on "restore from backup" (or something like that), and you should be fine.
The iOS updates do not alter the stored data on the phones. The most recent one updated my iPhone and my iPad without requiring me to do anything to my saved applications, books, photos, or music.
Put it on a ICloud backup
Hi, this happened mine too. In that case i ended up doing a restore and going back to an earlier backup (i.e. Not the most recent one). Took me a couple of restores to get this working right.
you can also do this while connected with a cable to your computer. Then as soon as the computer recognize new hardware, its done. Then in itunes you can make a restore. You will find your data back.
