If I delete photos on my computer, will I still be able to access them with Time Machine?
If I delete photos on my computer, will I still be able to access them through time machine? My computer is running very slowly and I need to free up some space.
Time Machine is intended for recovery of accidentally deleted items, not as a primary storage method. If you delete items from your computer, they will be deleted from the backup when the drive or partition holding it runs out of space.

When I sync my iPod with iCloud and I delete pictures or other data off of my iPod will I still be able to access them from iCloud?
- Syncing with iCloud does not move anything from the the iPod to iCloud. Some items like contacts, calendar and some app date gets synced to the cloud continuously.
- If you backup to iCloud it backs up the photos in your iPOd's Camera Roll album. If you delete some of those photos and then backup the previous backup gets overwritten with the changes and thus you can't get them back.
- You can get the last 30 days worth of phtos in the CamerRoll form your PhotoStream

When using Time Machine, if I delete items from my computer, will they still be backed up to access later on my external hard drive?
In other words, when time machine backs up again, will it delete the files from the back up that I have deleted from my computer?No, I do not believe so. Time Machine would keep all those now-deleted files in previous backups, and as time goes by those backups might be deleted if you needed room, but it would still keep one backup from each day in last month, as well as one from each week forever, as long as you don't start running out of room, then just the oldest would be deleted to make room if needed.
I use a backup drive about double the size of my drive to be backed up, so I would guess it will never get to the point where deleted files being replaced by new ones being backed fill up that drive to the point where backups actually have to get deleted. -
If I move the oldest 2/3 of my iPhoto library to an external hard drive, will I still be able to access those older photos? I assume that I will be able to select the source (internal hard drive or external hard drive)?
Yes, if you have a second library.
Here's one way to do what you want:
Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
Now you have two full versions of the Library.
3. On the Internal library, trash the Events you don't want there
Now you have a full copy of the Library on the External and a smaller subset on the Internal
Some Notes:
As a general rule: when deleting photos do them in batches of about 100 at a time. iPhoto can baulk at trashing large numbers at one go.
You can choose which Library to open: Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'
You can keep the Library on the external updated with new imports using iPhoto Library Manager -
If I create separate Apple IDs for my children, will they still be able to access content I have purchased on their iPhones and iPads?
I happened to stop at the Apple store yesterday for a separate issue and had a discussion about iCloud. Seems like this is how iCloud works (also, there's another thread on this forum that explains it well).
Each member of the family can have their own iCloud ID, which will be used for Mail, Calendar, Contacts, Apps, Bookmarks, Media, Photos, etc. and having this content synced automatically with a Mac (computer). The iCloud IDs work in tandem with the associated Apple ID — so while you cannot have multiple Apple IDs, you can certainly have multiple iCloud IDs tagged with a certain Apple ID.
While all this makes sense from the iOS device standpoint, I'm unclear on how things will sync with a Mac computer, especially if the family uses a single iMac with multiple login IDs for various members. For instance, I currently have an iMac and iTunes content resides in my Public folder, which my wife can still access when she logs in with her login ID. I'm guessing that I'll be able to set up her iCloud ID using her login, set up my iCloud ID using my login, while both our iMac logins will retain the same Apple ID. This would take care of syncing Photos, Contacts, Calendars, etc.
Another (not sure if unique) problem I face is our Address Book — right now, we have one GIANT address book with different groups set up. Certain groups sync to her iPhone, while others to mine. Some contacts are common between both of us. I'm hoping that if she/I updates a common contact, then the change will be reflected in both our groups of contacts. I hope this makes sense — for instance, I update a contact named Joe, and he's on my group of contacts in my iPhone. Hope iCloud updates the master contact card for Joe on the iMac, which would then automatically trigger the update on my wife's group of contacts—that Joe also belongs to— leading to an update on her iOS device as well.
Apologies for the lengthy response.. -

if a child is over 18 in family sharing can they purchase items themselves? Will they then be able to share them with other family group members?
If they are still part of Family Sharing, these items will be shared.

If I switch on my iCloud will I still be able to access my iWeb created web site currently on MobileMe. I understand I need to find another host before June, but I would like to access iCloub before then.
If you want to migrate your MobileMe account to iCloud you do so at http://me.com/move . You will need Lion 10.7.2 on your Mac to be able to use its facilities. Your calendars, contacts, bookmarks and email will be moved to iCloud.
Your iDisk, including website hosting and Gallery, will be unaffected and can still be accessed as before, though the migration process will probably sign you out in System Preferences>MobileMe and you will need to sign in again there.
You will continue to be able to use your iWeb site as before. As you say, this will cease at the end of June. This page examines some alternatives:

HT4597 once i move to iCloud, will i still be able to access MobileMe until June 30th?
once i move to iCloud, will i still be able to access MobileMe until June 30th?
Your email, contacts and calendars will move to iCloud (Lion 10.7.2 required for full functions). Your iDisk, together with website hosting and the Gallery, will remain accessible exactly as before, though the migration process will sign you out in System Preferences>MobileMe and you will need to sign back in again.

I have nearly filled my iCloud storage with pictures. If I subscribe to iTunes match, will I still be able to access music via the cloud, or will I have to buy more storage space? Cheers.
Yes, but... you'll have to first index her music through your iTM subscription. So... you'd have to add her music into your own library first. Which.... would defeat the point of iTM I suspect in your case.

I am currently an iPhone user, and I am planning to upgrade to a galaxy s5. Will I still be able to group message with iPhone users even thought I have a galaxy
Hi
Yes you should be able too, this depends on the features on the phone but i would imagine something as new as the s5 would have this feature. However this would obviously be over standard sms rather than imessage.
Hope this helps -

I want to upgrade my system so that I can buy iPhoto, but I need to know whether or not my microsoft programes will be deleted. And if it is not deleted, will I still be able to run the program and open documents? I have microsoft 2008.
Office 2008 should run but Office 2011 is hughly recommended.
A backup is highly recommended before any upgrade.

If I transfer my music library to a usb stick and delete my itunes account from my computer will I be able to recover my itunes account info from the cloud?
It depends on whihch IPad you purchased. The 16GB, the 32GB, or the 64GB for storage.
Tap Settings > General > About. You'll see Capacity in the list.

You get 5GB of free storage space with iCloud but you can purchase more if necessary.
