Q&A: Will I Lose My iphone/ipod Apps After I Update?

Published on March 12th, 2010 in iPod Apps


In this video, I answer a question that is commonly asked by a lot of users everytime an iphone or ipod Touch firmware update is released by Apple: Will I lose my apps after I update? The question is really two parts. Part 1 is for devices that haven’t been jailbroken and part 2 is for those that have. Unjailbroken devices have their data backed up each time they are synced with itunes (unless the default settings are changed) If you update your unjailbroken device, the applications, contacts, songs, and pictures are restored from backup. So the general answer is no, you will NOT lose your applications on your device if you are not jailbroken. For those devices that are jailbroken, itunes will not back up your data so you will not retain all your applications you installed from Cydia. Each time you update and re-jailbreak, you’ll need to reinstall applications. So there’s your answer regarding applications and updates. Got questions? Email help@bwana.tv and I’ll do my best to address them.

    Everyone:
    If you update your iPhone or iPod touch, you won’t lose a single thing other than the jailbreak and all the apps from cydia.
