HT5628 What happens to all of my files and what will happen to my iwork apps if I decide to switch to windows

I have recently wanted to switch to the windows platform so I could get more games from steam. I was wondering what happens to all of my files and what will happen to Mac apps like iwork. Will I have to purchase the microsoft version?

Nothing happens to your files and "Mac apps". You install Windows on a new partition separate from OSx. Read the Boot Camp manuals. http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/

What has happened to all my data files in pages, numbers and keynote? they have all disappeared (though i do not yet have ios8)

what could have happened to all my data files in pages, numbers and keynote? they have disappeared - though i'm not using ios8

I have the same problem. For about 1 month ago I extended my iCloud storage account (+20 GB) in order to maintain my backups for iPHONE and iPAD as my account would expire 14/10. In spite of this, I got an email 15/10, which said that iCloud was reduced to 5 GB. 2 hours later I received a new email with comfirmation on the purchase of +20 GB storage plan. However, I only have access to 5 GB on my iPad and iPhone. Called Apple Support but they couldn´t help me. Did you find any solution ?

Deleted the app in the dock that compiles all your open files and fans them out as icons. What is it and how do I get it back?

When I bought my macbook pro, I deleted the app in the dock that complies all your open files together. When you click on the app it fans all the icons out. What is that app called and how do I find it again/get it back??
Thanks!

okay... got that...but before I deleted it, it would "fan" all my open web pages, or open PDF files. So they were in a little folder as opposed to lined up beside my trash bin?
make any sense?

I used MobileMe/idisk to hold all of my files and access from my iPad. It worked beautifully. What is the best way to do that now?

In particular, I am having issues with documents that already exist on my Mac and trying to get my iPad to access them.

A popular option seems to be DropBox.

This is just to report a problem with Apple updates. I updated recently and the computer brought up my 2012 desktop with all my 2014 files and data including stickies missing! Now I hesitate to do another Apple update. What would you do?

If all your files are missing
You may have logged in as a different user, such as Guest. Open the Users & Groups pane in System Preferences. Your name should be at the top of the user list, under Current User. See also this support article.
If files are missing from one folder
Change the Finder view mode; for example, from icon view to list view, or vice versa.
If files are present, but seem outdated
You may have started up from a different volume (disk.) Open the Startup Disk preference pane and check the selection.

Hi, I am going to reset my Macbook Pro to factory settings but I would like to back it up first. I have backed it up to an external Hard Drive so if I were to wipe the laptop, would i be able to retrieve all of my files and applications

Hi, I am going to reset my Macbook Pro to factory settings but I would like to back it up first. I have backed it up to an external Hard Drive so if I were to wipe the laptop, would i be able to retrieve all of my files and applications. (Office Mac, Adobe CS6, Logic Pro)

When OS X asks you to restore a backup, it will allow you to select what you want to restore from the backup, Just select the things you need, because if you select everything, you will be in the same status as before restoring the Mac to factory settings. This has nothing to do with erasing the hard drive
It's OK to make backups with Time Machine

Everytime I try to enter something into the search box a further box appears to tell me this is a json file and what program should I use to open it. How can I

I am using Linux mint 12 with firefox.
Everytime I try to type something in the search box a further box appears to tell me this is a JSON file and what program should I use to open it.
This has only happened since reinstalling my system a couple of weeks ago.
I am not really interested in what a json file is I simply want to get rid of this pop up box.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Do I need Java 8 or should i disable it? What happens if i disable it? And what is the difference between Java and Java Runtime?

Do I need Java 8 or should I disable it? What happens if i disable it? And what is the difference between Java and Java Runtime?

There's no difference. They're both runtime plug-ins (they run when an app calls for Java functions).
You only need Java if you either have Java apps on your Mac that won't run without having it installed, or you use trusted web sites that require Java to function (getting fewer and far between). Otherwise, you have no need for it at all.

When i purchase os x mountain lion from the app store and install it will i keep all of my files and apps on my hard drive

If i purchase mountain lion will it wipe my hard drive or will i keep all of my files and applications

Simply connect an external hard drive to it. Format it if it's not labeled as made for Mac using Disk Utility.
I'd recommend backing it up using Time Machine. Your Macbook should ask you if you want this drive to be used for Time Machine....you do.
Once the backup is done you can, later on, use the backup drive to migrate everything to your new iMac.

Based on some of the Yosemite issues - important lesson here - check to see if all of your software has verified it can run with the upgrade.

Did the back and forth between PC and Mac file systems screw up my files somehow?
Yes. Unfortunately the move has almost certainly caused the loss of the resource data that would have been (invisibly) attached to those files.
By adding a specific .mov extension after the fact you will have helped the Mac correctly identify the file type / asscoiations but also significantly you will have physically changed the filename eg from "clip" to "clip.mov". This means that when you come to reconnect the media in FCP , then FCP will be looking for files that no longer exist at the given path eg when specifically looking for our example clip called "clip" of course it won't find it.
Try this as a test... first remove the ".mov" extension from one or more of the clips, select those clips and press Cmd-Opt-I to open an Info window for the selection. You'll see an "Open with:" popup and in that popup you should choose QuickTime Player (if its a Unix Executable then it will initially list Terminal as the appropriate app, you have to choose Other... then in the open dialog choose Enable > All Applications and then navigate to and select the Quicktime Player app as the appropriate app). After you've done that restart FCP and see if you can now reconnect to those clips.
