What happens when I restore data to a non-factory set iPhone?

Okay, another iCloud question. What I did was basically delete a game, start a new one, and now I want my old game back (saved to ICloud). What happens when I restore full data to a non-factory set iPhone? Will it overwrite current data? Will it delete everything? I just want to know, I'm such an iOS noob. :-/

A restore is all or nothing.
If a backup is restored to the device, ALL data currently on the device is wiped and replaced with the data from the backup.
Restoring a backup to get one saved game back seems rather extreme and silly.

What happens when i restore my iPhone?

i was curious as to what happens when you plug your iphone into itunes and click restore.
will i lose all my contacts and pictures?
and will it make the backlight on my iphone work?

A restore may help your iphone - it is one of the troubleshooting steps. Page 141 of the manual:
"If you restore, the latest version of iPhone software is reinstalled, default settings are
restored, and data stored on iPhone is deleted, including downloaded applications,
songs, videos, contacts, photos, calendar information, and any other data. In iTunes,
you can also restore from a backup without deleting data stored on iPhone.
Deleted data is no longer accessible via the iPhone user interface, but is not
permanently erased from your iPhone until it is overwritten by new data. For
information about permanently erasing all content and settings, see “Resetting
iPhone” on page 109. "

I gave you the link to the Apple article to determine hardware failure earlier. If those steps or a reset, restore don't work then you need to call or visit Apple for a replacement.

What Happens When I Restore My iPhone From a Backup

This a pretty simple question but nowhere can I find the answer. I had the iPhone 5 and got the 5s last month. I backed up all my stuff, and I just haven't put it back on yet. I have loads of pictures already from the past month and I don't want to lose them when I "restore from backup," but I want to restore. So when I do this, will it erase my current stuff? Thank you so much!!!!!

yes it will erase your pictures, you can transfer your pictures to a pc or mac and then restore your phone from the back up and later on you can tranfer your pictures to the phone.

What happens when the row selection of a table is set as 'none'?

I have a page, with a Search box, Departments and Employees tables. The user will enter a departmentId and click on Search button. Departments will be displayed. The departmentId column in Departments table is surrounded with a link. So when the user will click on the link, the desired employees will be displayed in the Employees table, if there is a view link between the VOs.
Now suppose I have removed the view link. And the row selection of the Departments table is set as 'none'. So is it possible to get the desired employees of the chosen departmentId in this scenario, as because row selection has been disabled in the Departments table?
I also dont want to use the Set Property Listener in this use case.

Hi,
If you have disabled rowselection and also are not implementing the selection listener? How will you find which row did the user select?

Time Machine backup created on Mac with a large hard disk. What happens when restore to MacBook Air with small SSD drive?

What if a Time Machine backup was created on a Mac with a large hard disk, e.g. 500GB iMac - and I buy a new MacBook Air with a small SSD hard disk e.g 128GB. What happens when I need to use the larger Time Machine file to set up the new MacBook Air? What happens to all those files that can't fit on the smaller SSD drive?

It is not the HD size, but rather the size of the data it contains. If you right-click your 500GB drive and select "Get Info" you can see how much is actually being used.
Naturally if you are using more space than the new drive has, then you have to make some choices about what you want to keep and what you want to keep archived.
I don't know what options are available but you may simply have to do a manual restore of files you want, in groups.

What will happen when I restore my iPod?

I have a few songs that I downloaded from the iTunes store, and cannot get them off my iPod Touch. See this thread for full discription of the problem.
https://discussions.apple.com/message/16745511#16745511
Anyway long story short, what exactly happens when I restore it. Do I lose my photos, emails, contacts. Will all of the songs be deleted so I could re-sync them from my computer, the way I want them?
Can I also re-sync all my other stuff back to the iPod? This part is important to me.
Or would it be faster to go to an Apple store and have them delete the songs, @ 100km from my house.
iPod Touch 4th Gen 32GB - iOS 5.0.1 - iTunes 10.5.1.42 - Windows 7 x64

What happens when the iPhone needs an activation and it doesn't respond? Then it asks me to restore it but due to an unknown error (-1) the iPhone can't be restored.

Thank you for your response. However, I have done that plenty of times and each time I try to restore my phone, it extracts the software and then when it says restoring with the loading bar, an error message comes up saying an unknown error has occurred.

HT201559 what happens when i reset? do I lose any data?

what happens when i reset? do I lose any data? or is there any chance of losing data?

If you mean the "Press the Home and Power buttons at the same time" type of reset, then no, you do not lose anything. It's basically the same process that a computer goes through when you restart it.
You do, however, want to make sure that you always have a current backup on iCloud or iTunes.
Cheers,

What happens when the Time Machine drive is full?

I'm on my second iMac. My first one (G5, 1984) died, and I replaced it early 2010 with an Intel mac. The transition when exceedingly well largely due to Time Machine. I just hooked the Time Machine drive to the new system, and I was soon back up running!
My home folder has 70GB of data. The Macintosh drive has 105GB of data and 395GB free. The Time Machine drive has 220GB used and 30GB free.
1. What happens when the Time Machine drive is full?
2. Do I have control over what backups get deleted?
3. If lightning strikes twice, will I still be able to restore my Intel mac like my G5 mac, even if backups get deleted?
4. Is there anyway to control what backups/backup files get deleted?
5. Any other thoughts?
Thanks.

Do you mean all of them? The entire Backups.backupdb folder?
That's a large mess. First, even a normal delete will take a very long time, as there are probably hundreds of thousands, or even millions, of files. Your best bet by far is to simply erase them with Disk Utility -- that will only take a few moments. If your TM drive has a single partition, see #1 in [Formatting, Partitioning, Verifying, and Repairing Disks|http://web.me.com/pondini/AppleTips/DU.html]. If there are other partition(s) on the drive, see #2 there.
If not, and you only deleted some of the folders, you have a different, worse problem. Unfortunately, Apple doesn't do a very good job of warning folks: +*Never move, change, or delete anything in your backups via the Finder or Terminal.+*
You shouldn't have to delete backups at all, since Time Machine will do that automatically when the disk/partition gets full. But you can do it without harm via Time Machine. See #12 in [Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions|http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/FAQ.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum).
A normal delete will take a very long time, as there are probably tens or hundreds of thousands of items, each of which must be individually deleted. A secure delete will take much, much longer, as each deleted file must be overwritten with zeros.

What happens when you AirDrop from Mac to iPhone and click Cancel?

I have a Late 2013 27" iMac running OS X Yosemite 10.10 and an iPhone 6 Plus running iOS 8.0.2.
I can take a PDF on my iMac, drag it to my iPhone in the AirDrop section of Finder, and it transfer to my iPhone just fine. Once it's finished transferring, a popup shows on my iPhone asking me what app I want to open the PDF in, which is great. At the bottom of that popup is a "Cancel" option. My question is, what happens when you tap "Cancel" instead of one of the apps? Is the file still somewhere on the iPhone? Or does it get deleted?

Connecting to a new computer or iTunes will always erase the device first. Back up manually before by right clicking on the iPod in the device list and choosing "backup". A manual backup does not include the sync process. You can use this backup to restore from after your iPod got wiped during the first sync.
Transfer your purchases the same way and make sure to have at least one contact and event listed on your Mac, to be able to merge data.
See also iTunes: About iOS backups to get more info about the content of a backup, and How to back up your data and set up as a new device , if you want to know more about saving info from the iPod before setting it up in iTunes.

VDI3: what happens when the Primary VDI core fails?

A potential customer asked me this and I did not really know how to answer the question ... sorry if this was asked before. So here we go:
What happens when and if the Primary VDI core fails? Will the entire VDI3 setup go down? Will running sessions be lost? And how do you fix that?
I found this page:
http://wikis.sun.com/display/VDI3/MySQL+Cluster+Reconfiguration+Scenarios
So I assume the "Non-VDI host ==> Primary Management Host" scenario is what would need to be done?
http://wikis.sun.com/display/VDI3/MySQL+Cluster+Reconfiguration+Scenarios#MySQLClusterReconfigurationScenarios-NonVdiToPrimary
If this is correct then this would answer the "how do you fix that?" part. OK then.
But still I'd welcome if anyone could explain what exactly would happen when and if a Primary VDI core fails. The customer's opinion on this is that they are a "single point of failure" because the Primary VDI host is not redundant (as opposed to the 2 x Secondary VDI cores) ... So, is this assumption correct or not?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Assuming you have 3 VDI core hosts. One of them is the primary. And the primary goes down. So what happens then:
* The underlying database is still running on the remaining hosts
* All desktop sessions are still running on the remaining hosts
* New session requests will be handled by the remaining hosts.
* All desktops are still running on the virtualization hosts.
So in essence, your VDI cluster is still healthy. The operation is just impacted in this way:
* You can't add new VDI core hosts
* You can't change the configuration of the Sun Ray server failover group
* A failure of another VDI core host (data node) will result into a complete outage of the underlying database
You should bring up the primary again as soon as possible in order to gain failover capabilities again.

What happens when the iphone app won't open on iphone 4?

what happens when the phone does not open and automatically shuts down the phone?

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

What happen when an error occurs during Snapshot-Refresh?

Hi,
I would like to know what happens, when an error occurs
during a refresh (COMPLETE-REFRESH) of a snapshot?
Is there a possibility for exception-handling??
During a complete refresh the data in the snapshot will be deleted an the requested new from the master-side. Now when
an error occurs during the refresh what happens with the "old" data of the snapshot??? Will it be lost?
Thanxx

Each thread has its own error state. To get the results for a thread (including error result), you need to have a wait step which waits for it. If a thread has an error and you wait for it, you will get the error at the wait step that waits for it.
If your main thread has an error and you want some worker thread to exit, you should add code to the cleanup of your main thread's sequence which signals the worker thread to exit (you should already have some sort of mechanism for signaling the worker thread to exit (there are many ways to do this, for example, a boolean variable passed by reference to the new thread's sequence, or a TestStand notification).
If your main thread is getting an error, but is stuck inside a step, that problem is probably specific to something your code is doing, that is not the normal behavior of TestStand. You will need to provide more details or an example sequence in order for us to better understand what is happening.
Hope this helps,
