my friend gave me his iphone 4s and the phone is asking me to activate it under my friends apple id and password. my friend and i were wondering what would happen when we activate the iphone 4s? we don't know if it ist going to unlock it so we can use it or if it is going to activate his phone again into the iphone 4s

No it's not stealing. They have an allowance that you can share with so many computers/devices. You'll have to authorize her computer to play/use anything bought on your acct. You can do this under the Store menu at top when iTunes is open on her computer.
As far as getting it all on her computer....I think but I am not sure (because I don't use the feature) but I think if you turn on Home Sharing in iTunes it may copy the music to her computer. I don't know maybe it just streams it. If nothing else you can sign into your acct on her computer and download it all to her computer from the cloud. Not sure exactly how to go about that, I haven't had to do that yet. I wonder if once you authorize her computer and then set it up for automatic downloads (under Edit>Preferences>Store) if everything would download. Sorry I'm not much help on that.

  • What would happen if I added the itouch email to the add accounts on my iphone and confirmed that email address? Would only my iphone get both (itouch and iphone) messages? or will my itouch then also get my iphone messages as well??

    Thank-you for clarifying third party and for pointing out the potential problems.

  • My iMac was synchronised to my iPod in the store I purchased it. When I purchase an audio books it is not synching accross to the iPod. Am I missing something . What would happen if I use the 'sync' button again?

    Yes. Other things have synced including books, but I don't know how these happened. According to the 'audible' instructions it should happen automatically, but it doesn't.

  • I don't know if its just me but..,

    Hey I don't know if its just me but with my iPad mini I've noticed the new lighting charger or whatever it's called feels kinda loose when it's plugged it? Like it wobbles?

    I just bought a refurbished iPad mini from the Apple.com store and mine is showing the same behavior. It's odd. It didn't do it when I first brought it home. But, tonight, I plugged it in and it started repeatedly cycling between charging and not charging states over and over again. I'm definitely taking mine back to the store to have it looked at.
    I'll let you know what happens.

  • What will happen when I run the HP Restore?

    Hello, I'm posting in reference to a bit of a dillema I have.
    As of about a month ago, I've been having errors with my laptop, and I've recently decided to perform a full system restore on my laptop to take it back to factory specs since I can't find a solution.  However, I've run into several problems in the process:
    I do not have a Windows 7 installation disc, nor do I have a Windows 7 activation code to create a USB installation disc.  There's no sticker on the back of my computer.  I have a Windows 7 SP1 disc, but I don't think that has the main installer, and I received an Autorun.dll error the very first time I opened the pack to use the disc.
    My computer did not come with the HP Recovery Manager software.  All the tutorials I've seen rely on this manager.
    I do not have a restore point from before these errors began.
    When booting my computer up a bit before I decided to come to the forums, I decided to test the startup menu and found an HP Restore option and decided to use it.  However, I didn't get the screen that appears in the tutorials on the website, but rather what looks like a generic installation screen for a Windows program.  I cancelled the HP Restore upon seeing this because I was unsure of what would happen.
    I'm here to ask, since my laptop came pre-installed with Windows 7 the very first time I turned it on, does this version of the HP Restore reinstall Windows?  If it does, that's fantastic, because as I mentioned I don't have a Windows 7 disc or activation key.

    I should also clarify, when I attempted to run the Windows System Restore, I was unable to because my computer couldn't find the Windows 7 installation files, and as mentioned before, I don't have any installation discs.  I have an HP Windows 7 SP1 disc (which from what I understand is simply a patch) and an HP driver installation disc.  This is why I'm hesitant to try the HP Restore (F11) option, because I don't know if it'll automatically install Windows when I use it.

  • Can anyone tell me what would happen if I left the photo field blank on the Cards app on iOS?

    I like one of the letterpress designs but i'd prefer if the photo did not exist on the inside cover.
    Does anyone know what would happen if I left it blank or of any way to remove it?
    Thanks

    Try here:

  • Ios 5 - what will happen when i update my iPhone? Will i loose my contacts?

    When i hit update in iTune for my iPhone 4 to update to ios 5, its says this...
    Does this mean I will loose all my contacts and calendar? photos?
    thanks

    Just clarifying something. Backups do not backup your apps. When you install iOS5, all of your apps MAY be gone. If they are, go to the App Store>Updates>and then the new Purchased tab. Click on that and redownload anything you want to download. All of that Angry Birds progress will be still intact and you won't be charged again.

  • What would happen if I restarted an iPhone?

    Would it go to the set-up screens, like when you first get it? I recently was handed down an iPhone 4S from a relitive and it's still logged in to all their accounts (I.e, their email, iCloud, etc.) and it wont let me log out of them, so if I restart the phone completely, would I be able to log into my accounts or would they all still be in my grandfathers?

    Do this...
    If desired, move photos/videos off the Camera Roll: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
    If desired, backup the device to iTunes or iCloud: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
    Then, on the device...
    Settings > Messages > iMessage > Off
    Settings > FaceTime > Off
    Settings > iCloud > Delete Accout (this only unregisters and deletes it off the device)
    Settings > iTunes & App stores.  Tap the AppleID and sign out.
    Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings
    Unregister your device at https://supportprofile.apple.com

  • What would happen if I restore an iPhone with a previous backup on your PC?

    I Need help guys ! I don't want I really did something good or bad like did I just delete everything on the phone before the backup !?
    PLease help

    yes u will lose all the files on it, if you choose to sync it to another PC.
    first. sync it to the computer you originally synced it to, hence back it up
    now go to new PC, and sync, loose all data.
    now copy data from old PC to new pc
    add it to itunes and such now tell it what media to sync
    another option, use icloud.
    tell icloud to sync all your photos, data and such and simply use icloud to sync up that stuff. as long as it does not go over 5gb.

  • One itunes account, two ipads (no cloud). What will happen when I sync the new ipdad the first time?

    My original iPAD is full of pictures, music, books and apps and was recently synced (iOS7) to my PC.
    Just bought a new iPAD (Mini), and not sure what will happen if I sync it to my PC. Will the failry empty Mini wipe out all my content on the PC? or can I just select what from my PC I wat to sync to this new iPAD?

    No, syncing an additional iDevice to a computer will have no affect on the original.
    Syncing is per device.
    Connect the new device, select the content desired to sync and sync.

  • Have an iphone4...what would happen when I connect my 3G to itunes?

    I have changed phones to the iPhone4 but still own my iphone 3G. I want to use it as basically a 'gaming' console and leave all the apps on it that were there before the transfer.
    However, I failed to unsynch some things (like photos) that I can't manually delete because I only get a 'share' or 'copy' function.
    If I connect this phone to itunes with the purpose of 'unsynching' things like photos, contacts, etc?, will that make the phone completely unusable?
    Unfortunately, no way to test this out so I was hoping someone had an answer for me.
    Thanks in advance.

    You'll be able to use your 3G as an iPod Touch. My wife upgraded her 3G to a 4, too. What you need to do is power off your 3G, then remove the SIM Card. When you power back up, iPhone 3G will warn you about a missing 3G card. Ignore the warning, it'll go away soon enough.
    Plug your 3G into iTunes, and run a manual backup. That will back up messages, photos, app data (not the apps themselves), and settings. When it's done, plug in your iPhone 4 and you should be able to do a data restore. We did this for my wife's phone.
    After that's done, you can either wipe your iPhone 3G or you can do a complete recovery/upgrade to iOS 4.
    Have fun!

  • What would happened when one RAC node's public NIC down ?

    Dear all,
    There's a two-node RAC on my office. As my observation, when one RAC node's public NIC is down, the "crs_stat -t" command wouldn't show any resource is OFFLINE. So at this moment if i use sqlplus to connect to my RAC db, it still will choose node1 or node2 instance randomly right? And if i've been assigned to the node's instance whose public NIC is down, my sqlplus would failed to connect to db?
    So, can we say that Oracle RAC can't supply HA function if one node's public NIC is down? Or is there just any other solution to solve this issue? Any suggestion would be appreciated.

    Public node is down means that only one node would be able to take the load i.e. in your case it will be Node 2. It may happen that CRS is unable to record the status - in such case there may be failed connections to one node.

  • Hey there, was just wondering what exactly happens when you reset iPhone network settings

    Looking to reset my network settings was wondering how this might effect my iPhone.

    As already provided:
    This will clear your current cellular and Wi-Fi network settings, including saved networks, Wi-Fi passwords, and VPN settings.
    And, that's all that happens.
