I want to do this upgrade. what will happen to any of the apps i've downloaded from google play? will they stay on my phone? what about my photos and music? i do have photos backed up to photobucket but i'd still like them to stay on my phone so i dont have to redownload them to phone after upgrade.....i tried to sync my contacts to my gmail account associated with my phone but it says sync is down right now..... i was able to put contacts on my sd card however i dont know how to retrieve them from sd card once the upgrade is completed. i do not know how to see whats on my sd card unless i put the card in my lg encore phone..... so i'm ready to try this new upgrade i made up my mind but need to know about any back up apps that i MUST have....if there is no MUST HAVE BACK UP APPS NEEDED then i can proceed? i did notice on the website to start the upgrade that it requires you to have xp computer or vista etc. however all i have is a mac.... will this work? pls HELP HELP THANKS IN ADVANCE

I did the upgrade and like the new look thus far and functionality ....

 

[resa2012]

Oh and it did not loose anything thus far still have pics and music and game apps

the upgrade tool is a .exe windows program so it won't run on mac. i suppose you could try it if you have a new enough mac to install a copy of windows on using bootcamp or an emulator like parallels. not sure though.
