HT1420 What will happen to my devices when i deauthorize my computer?

    I just got a new computer and i wanted to authorize it but i have 5 computers authorized. Since all five computers are now not working i would have to deauthorize all of them but my ipad is on one of those computers and i am wondering if my ipad would break if i had deauthorize the computer it was on.

Ipads are NOT authorized at all.
Authorization applies ONLY to computers, not ipad/iphone/Apple tv/ipod

  • What will happen to my itunes if i reset my computer

    i wannt to reset my laptop but how will i be able to get back all my itunes info or what will happen to it all

    Locate it in the Windows Explorer and drag it to an external drive. If you're backing up an iTunes library, organize it and deauthorize the computer first.

  • What will happen to my iPhotos when I wipe my Macbook Air?

    I've got a lot of 'Other' taking up storage on my macbook and I'm probably going to wipe it and see if that'll free up some space. However I'm concerned about my iPhotos - say I didn't transfer them to another hard drive, would they be on my iPhoto again when I logged back onto my apple account on the freshly-wiped macbook? Or am I going to need to transfer them all to a hard drive? I can't seem to find a clear answer to this anywhere, but maybe I just don't understand how iPhoto works.
    p.s. are there any other back-up systems I should check before wiping my macbook? I've got all my documents off iCloud and my initial files but I feel like it's all been a bit too easy (especially where apple is concerned, ha ha).

    You are going about this in the wrong way.  First you must understand what OTHER is:
    http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202867
    There are many important files in that category that must not be deleted.
    Download from the Internet OmniDiskSweeper and Gran Perspective (both free) and open them.  They will show all of your files and the respective sizes.  Transfer to an external HDD the file you do not want on the MBA or delete them.  Do not forget to empty Trash.
    Time machine is an excellent backup system.  The best strategy is for two backups and I can recommend using Carbon Copy Cloner as a supplement system.  It can create a boot drive as well as perform incremental backups.  I use both.
    Ciao.

  • My husband has an iPhone 5 but he has never had his own Apple ID.  I want to create one for him - but what will happen to his apps when I make the change on his phone? will he have to re-download them all and re-pay for them (if not free?)

    I guess I don't think it's smart for him to "share" my ID - but am afraid of what I'll do to his phone (apps, really) if I go into the phone and change him to a new ID.
    Any thoughts?

    If you want seperate accounts for managing apps and purchasing content, basically yes, you need two account and would need to repurchase. However, if you just want seperate ID for iMessgae, icloud and such, you can do that and still continue sharing the same Id for apps and itunes.

  • What will happen when my Aperture trial expires?

    I downloaded the trial version of Aperture 3, this will expire in 5 days time. I have decided that I am not going to buy the full licensed version yet as I have found it to be too buggy in it's present form, and for now iPhoto meets my needs. I did not import my whole iphoto library but have just been trying it out on around 100 photos that I imported directly. I also have copies of these photos stored in iPhoto.
    What will happen in 5 days when the trial expires and should I uninstall it?

    I'm just guessing, but when the day arrives, when you invoke Aperture (like so many other trial software), you get a message asking for the license, if you can't provide it, Aperture will shut down.
    If you think you may come back to AP, you can always invoke it when you have a license.
    Of course, if one or more upgrade to AP come along, you won't have a way to test them out. I'd suggest you stay close to this forum and read about them, see how other users feel about the upgrade(s).

  • Soon iphone 4 in 16 gb will be discontinued in india. I bought my iphone this september with the above mentioned specifications. What will happen if something went wrongh my device when it is under warranty

    Soon iphone 4 in 16 gb will be discontinued in india. I bought my iphone this september with the above mentioned specifications. What will happen if something went wrongh my device when it is under warranty

    Just because the iPhone 4 has been discontinued, does not mean you won't get warranty service. You will, & if your phone needs replacing, under warranty, it will be replaced with an identical model.

  • When trying to sync my phone with my computer it's telling me to "restore". Why and what will happen if I do?

    When trying to sync my iphone 4s to my computer it say it doesn't read it anylonger and I need to restore. What will happen if I do that? Will I lose my apps and need to replace all my music?

    It will restore you phone as a new device.   If you have a backup of your phone you can restore to that.
    YOur apps and music you can always sync back using iTunes.

  • What will happen to iPod 5G's info when I do a fresh Windows install?

    Title basically says it all. I've been using my iPod Video as a storage device as well as for music, and I'm going to do a clean install of Windows XP in the near future-my CD/DVD drive has somehow failed to respond (code 41), so reinstalling Windows to factory settings should do the trick. Only problem I can foresee is what will happen to all the data on my iPod when I reinstall the CD software for iTunes and my iPod drivers-will all the data on my iPod disappear when I reconnect it to my laptop for the first time?
    Just wondering if anyone's done this before, as I'll assume it's a typical topic.

    When the iPod is connected to the PC after reinstalling Windows, a message will appear asking you if you want to change the computer the iPod is associated with will appear if iTunes is installed; pressing Erase & Sync on this dialog box will delete all content on the iPod that was synced from iTunes. Content copied to the iPod outside of iTunes will not be erased by iTunes unless you explicitly restore the iPod.

    Highly unlikely that it says any such thing.
    Try telling us exactly what version of iTunes is installed and what if any messages appears when trying to update it.
    What Operating System is the computer running?

  • What will happen when I put my jailbroken iPhone 4 in the computer?

    I have a jailbroken iphone 4 still running on 4.3.2 firmware and I would like to get rid of the jailbreak and update it to 5. I understand that it will take my jailbreak off, which I have no problem with, but I'm terrified to plug into the computer. The computer I used for my iphone and itunes got a virus and everything was wiped out. I recently got a new macbook, but none of my info for itunes is on there and I'm scared if I put my iphone into the macbook I'll lose all of contacts! That's what I'm worried about. I don't care about the music or the apps and not so much the pictures. I'm just scared to lose my contacts. So does anyone know what will happen since it's jailbroken and I'm on a completely different computer?

    When you jailbreak you void your warranty and give up any right to help on these forums.
    Google your problem.
    Good luck.

  • MY PC WAS REFORMATTED. WHAT WILL HAPPEN WHEN I CONNECT MY IPOD TO MY PC NOW

    Hi everyone!
    My pc was recently formatted, and now I want to add new songs to my iPod. What will happen to the songs in my iPod when i connect it to the newly formatted PC? (not all songs in my iPod are in my PC anymore).
    Is there a way I can get all my songs from my iPod to my PC? If there is a way, would the songs remain organized from the iPod to the PC? Coz I am very organized with my iTunes and iPod, every artist, genre, album title is fixed.
    Would the PC automatically update my iPod? I know there is a setting in iTunes where I could choose if iTunes updates my iPod automatically or manually, but I can't seem to find it. I'm afraid to connect my iPod now to my PC because this might erase and foul up my songs in my iPod.
    Thanks and please help.
    Chad

    If your iPod is set to update automatically you just need to take care when connecting back to your computer and an empty iTunes. If it is set to automatically update you will get a message that your iPod is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press *No*. Pressing "Yes" will irretrievably remove all songs from your iPod. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it: Managing Your Songs Manually
    You can also use a keyboard command to prevent your iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on Windows hold down the Shift + Ctrl keys (on a Mac hold down the Option and Command (⌥ and ⌘) keys). This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 20 to 30 seconds depending on your computer. Then go to Edit>Preferences>iPod and check the "Manually manage songs and playlists" box.
    You can't sync or drag your music back directly from an iPod to iTunes, the transfer of music is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
    If you prefer something more automated then there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod, this is just a selection. Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these, they are generally quite straightforward.
    YamiPod Mac and Windows Versions
    iGadget Windows Only
    iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions
    iPod Access Mac and Windows Versions
    PodUtil Mac and Windows Versions
    iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions
    PodPlayer Windows Only
    Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync again. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up in case you have problems again. External drives are comparatively inexpensive these days and you can get loads of storage for quite a small outlay.

  • I have an iBook G4 10.4.11 and an iPhone 3GS.  Currently they sync.  What will happen when I move my .mac account to iCloud?

    They will stop syncing with no workaround unless you sync by plugging the phone into your computer using a USB cable.

  • If I have converted my purchased iTunes songs to a lower bit rate what will happen when I join iTunes match? Will they match up or will these be stored as duplicates of the same song?

    If I have converted my purchased iTunes songs to a lower bit rate what will happen when I join iTunes match? Will they match up or will these be stored as duplicates of the same song?
    I ask because I primarily use my work laptop which has limited space so I usually convert my purchases to 160k from 256k in order to save space. I want to sign up for iTunes Match but I'd like to know before I do so I can understand how I will have to set up my library.

    What I may do is start a brand new library there, copy my tracks from my work laptop using Home Share and then the script to get things in sync before starting over again there too.
    Why create a new library? Just add the tracks from the laptop to the existing library on the Mac.
    crichton007 wrote:
    I was just hoping to hear definitively whether or not there was some sort of intelligence built into iTunes Match that would match these up...
    How do you mean? If you down-convert purchased tracks you've fundamentally changed the files so iTunes can no longer recoginize them as "purchased." And, indeed, they no longer are since they are brand new files. Of course these new files will only be "matched" or "uploaded."
