Hi. I once backed up my car on to the pavement, but I didn't have any problems. Posted it here because I thought me not having a problem with something you were having problems with was relevant.

Updates don't generally delete files, unless you restored the phone, which doesn't apply to you.
It sounds more like user error, you or your friends are more likely to have deleted some of your own data to make room for the update.
Well next time you should buy a a larger capacity iPhone,

I downloaded iOS8 and no problems. I LIKE IT.....Smile

I updated via iTunes. I backed up my photos 5 or 6 times before. Not a single problem.

This update destroyed so much of what I loved about this phone! I'm amazed that I had to delete so much of what was on my phone to be able to do this update, to then realize it took hardly any of the space I created.
What went wrong with this iOS 8?
Other friends are having issues; loosing valuable information, passwords that were kept in notes that vanished, photos that were saved and more.
Disappointed and totally disgusted

Mr. Brown,

If I understand your post correctly, you had no problems but your friends had issues and so you decided to blame your iPhone? As people out here mentioned there are options to upgrade the iOS using the computer.

I did an iCloud backup & an iTunes backup then did a restore update via iTunes using the GM Update file & restored from iCloud & only lost some music that I had synced via iTunes that was in my iTunes Library, and everything restored fine.
