My macbook pro recently got swiped and I lost all my data, problem is, just before it was swiped I set up my new iphone 5 which transferred all my photos and music over which is no longer on the computer. What will happen to my phone if I plug it in?

I never used icloud before so there is no data to back up from. I just spoke to the apple store and they said that if I do plug it in, all the data will be swiped....is there a program I can use to transfer my data from my phone to computer without loosing it all ???

If I forgot to eject my ipod touch from iTunes and took my ipod out of the computer what can happen?

Can it harm my ipod if this is the first time it's happened? What can it do if you don't eject it from itunes first? Can it harm or corrupt files? How would I know?
It wasn't syncing at the time I took it out of the computer.

Nothing will happen.

Apps on the new iPhone 5 say they are open in app store but when i click on the open button, nothing happens.

I have a new iphone 5. When i download an app it doesn't automatically appear on the homescreens. When I go into the app store I can locate the app and it says it is open. However, when I click the open button nothing happens. I have tried turning off the phone, resetting and restoring. I have signed out of itunes and then signed back in. Nothing is working. When I sync with my macbook pro, I add the new apps to the homescreens and apply but they still don't sync. Please help!!

This is happening right now to countless users. I suspect a server problem. Wait a day and try again.Or let itunes update and then sync (itunes seems to be working for this, I just used it to update apps that do not appear in the update page on my device).

Reformatting computer- what will happen to iTunes?

So I have to reformat my hard drive, so I bought an external hard drive and I think I transferred my music to it. I just went through my iTunes and copied and pasted the songs that I don't have on CD onto my external hard drive...will that work? I couldn't find another way to do it.
So the dilemma I have now is when I reinstall iTunes onto my reformatted computer, what will I have to do to get those songs to play? Will authorizing my computer to play that music allow me to transfer it back into my computer, without having to keep my EHD plugged in?
Or is there a better way to transfer my music? There isn't an "iTunes folder" in "My Music".
Can someone answer my question???
Thanks.

Just curious.....why do you think you have to take the drastic step of reformatting your system?
Assuming a valid need to reformat, an external hard drive (EHD) is a good backup solution for your situation -- also as an ongoing backup device. Copying your entire My Music folder to your EHD should do it. Just make sure that you really copied ALL your music files to the EHD. Also, you should verify that your iTunes folder is indeed inside of your My Music folder.
After reformatting and regenerating your WinXP system, just copy your My Music backup in its entirety to its former location on your system drive. Then, reload the iTunes software and you should be good from there. Several other experienced posters in this forum may have some good links to articles for further assistance. Gook Luck.

Hi leefromwoodford,
The following article will tell you how to transfer purchased music from your iPhone to the your Mac -
iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
Specifically -
Transferring purchases
If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod has your purchased content from the iTunes Store, you can transfer the content to a computer that is authorized for your Apple ID.
Note: This option only works for content you purchased from the iTunes Store (as opposed to content from other sources, such as CDs you may have imported). For content you did not purchase from the iTunes Store, synchronization occurs in one direction only. This means your content can be copied from a computer to your iOS device, but cannot be copied from your device to a computer.
Open iTunes.
From the Store menu, choose Authorize This Computer.
Enter your Apple ID and password. Then, click the Authorize button.
Connect your device your computer. If it is synced with another iTunes library, you may be asked if you want to "Erase and Sync" or "Transfer Purchases."
If that alert appears, click Transfer Purchases.
Important: Clicking Erase and Sync will delete any existing content currently on your device. The content would then be replaced with the content that is on the computer.
If you were not offered the option to transfer purchases:
After connecting your device to the computer, its icon appears in iTunes. Click the icon.
From the File > Devices menu, choose "Transfer Purchases from 'Your device name.'"
Note that the computer must be authorized for the Apple ID under which the purchases were made.
You may also want to download the music directly from the iTunes store, rather than using the iPhone. See this article -
Download past purchases

Got a laptop with BESTBUY warrenty if i change the os what will happen to warrenty.

I was wandering i bought a laptop from BESTBUY ( in stores ) it is a Samsung laptops cost like 400$. And I got the extended warrenty with BESTBUY am I allowed to change the operating system and if something goes wrong will they still stand behind the warrenty if i do?

The other thing is if the install messes up the computer, it isn't covered and they typically require you to return it to stock os to work on it.

So I've bought a new pc and have HomeShared all my music/apps from the old to the new iTunes. When I plug my phone into the new computer, what will happen? I just want to be sure my contacts/calenders will be the same. What about the music/apps?

I have no problem resorting the apps and losing the playlists from the other iTunes. I just want to be sure nothing will be lost.

I would suggest backing up your iphone before doing anything. You can do that by right-clicking on the name of your iphone from the source list on the left side of itunes.
I hope this helps!

What will happen to my iTunes account if I restore my computer to its original factory settings?

I want to restore my computer to its original factory settings but I used this computer to setup my iTunes account and have purchased/downloaded music from the iTunes store. When I reset my computer what will happen to my account and the music I've purchased, will it be gone? I have an iPod shuffle that my music is synced to.

Backup the entire library with this User Tip. The same tool can be used to back up other personal data.
Deauthorize the computer in iTunes before restoring to factory settings.
Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
Install iTunes.
Keep your backup up-to-date in future.

What will happen to the deleted entry in xml when publish sandbox?

Hi,
In a MDS sandbox, If I delete something from a document, for example, one of xml element. when I publish the sandbox, what will happen? will the deleted entry disappear from the same document in mainline?
Is there any document explain this in detail?
Thanks

Hi,
wrong forum as this seems to aim for WebCenter uses. When you publish a change and metadata is missing for a document then resulting documents will not contain the components that you have removed. A Sandbox is a protection mechanism to try changes until you are happy with them. Once you switch them to become the actual version then new documents are applied with these changes. What were your expectations ?

HT1386 I had to replace the corrupted hard drive in my macbook pro recently, and after I did so I did a full factory software & application restore. Now my iTunes says my iPhone 5 is no longer an authorized device. What should I do?

I had to replace the corrupted hard drive in my macbook pro recently, and after I did so I did a full factory software & application restore. I had to rebuild my iTunes Library by dragging my music folders in my iTunes Media into the iTunes Application and rebuild my playlists manually. After plugging my iPhone 5 into the computer USB, it immediately recognized my iPhone 5, showing: last backups, space left on my iPhone & all options available. I then checked the box to manually manage music etc. The problem I am now having is that when I actually try to drag music from my iTunes to my phone a prompt comes up saying that my iPhone is not an authorized device. What should I do? Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated!!

jrmetzger,
iOS runs on iPads and iPhones; OS X runs on Macs.
Given your situation, I’d highly recommended that you purchase a SATA-to-USB adapter, so that you can test both your old disk and your new disk externally, since it might be that the problem is due to a faulty internal SATA cable rather than due to faulty disks.

When installing Maverick on my 17" Macbook pro I got the message that my HD is damaged and can't be repaired. I now can't restart without simply repeating the attempt to install Maverick and thereby returning to the same message. How do I abort install

When installing Maverick on my 17" Macbook pro I got the message that my HD was damaged and couldn't be repaired. (not good news!!) I now can't restart without returning to the Maverick setup and therefore returning to the same message. How do I abort the Maverick installation so that I can try to return to the previous OS so that I can try to recover/repair the HD

I have the same problem with my 2008 MacBook. Repair disk from disk utility says it was successful but the installer thinks it's groundhog day after a reboot. I also tried fsck -fy after booting in to a command mode and it came back clean but again the installer gives the same error message. It seems like a bit is stuck somewhere indicating my HD is bad when it isn't.
I had the latest version of Mountain Lion and have applied every upgrade up to then without issue.
Anyone find a solution yet without having to erase the entire disk and staring over?
Attached is a screen shot of the error.

My macbook pro recently got swiped and I lost all my data, problem is, just before it was swiped I set up my new iphone 5 which transferred all my photos and music over which is no longer on the computer. What will happen to my phone if I plug it in?
