What happens if I click on recovery 10.9.1

I am having problems with booting my wife's 2010 iMac. It never boots completely. I gets to a point where the screen flashes over and over a message something about opening (or not) windows which were open when I shut down.
When I hold the OPTION key at startup I get the 'option' to start up with my system hard drive or Recovery 10.9.1.
What happens if I click on Recovery 10.9.1?

OK!
Then what happens? I'm primarily concerned with the data that's on the Mac HD. Does it get erased or changed in any way?

  • What happens when I click "Order" - SRM 5.0

    I have a scenario where shopping carts were marked complete, but purchase orders were not created. We had some application server problems, and RFC connections were working intermittently for a short while - which caused this problem. The shopping carts create local purchase orders in SRM (not in ECC).
    SO, I am trying to determine where this process could have been broken. We have the case where I can click on the trash can to delete a shopping cart that does not have a PO, and I can view the details of the shopping cart and note that there are no follow-on documents. However, when I try to delete this shopping cart, i get a warning message saying that deletion is not possible, because follow-on documents exist.
    Is there some user exit, some job that was called and failed, some workflow that is triggered, etc?
    I have tried to run every possible job, have reviewed all workflows, and can not find any error. I had all users recreate and reorder their carts, and the problem is solved - BUT I don't know the root cause of this, and do not truly understand what happens between clicking "order" and the workflow in the PO to auto approve (as we are using Procurement cards, and the workflow is being triggered to auto approve). In the case noted above the cart is ordered and approved, but the PO is not created and the PO auto-approval workflow is never started. (I can't retrigger because no GUI-ID is being generated either).
    Anyone have any thoughts?!?

  • What happened to right click on file name in Indesign CS4?

    I just upgraded to CS4, does anyone know what happened to being able to right click on indesign (open) file name to see where on your system it is filed? I can still do this in other programmes.

    Firefox doesn't have such context menu entries for "Open Bookmark ...". So it looks that there has been a problem with the extension that added them and that started working again.

  • What happens if I click 'continue restore'?

    Hi, I recently updated my iPhone 4 to iOS 5, but it wasn't a smooth transition at all - at first it took forever before the download actually completed and didn't lose contact with the server mid-download, then once it had downloaded and the iPhone had been backed up and reset for the new iOS I lost contact with the servers again, leaving my iPhone iOS-less. When I eventually got iOS 5 onto it iTunes stopped recognising the iPhone so I lost all my data. When iTunes randomly decided to recognise it again a couple of days later it started to restore all my data, but stopped mid-way through and I had to reset the iPhone by holding the home and lock buttons for 10 seconds. After it rebooted and I connected it back to iTunes it synced all my music, messages, photos, apps etc back to my phone, but my contact info was still missing. When I next connected my phone to iTunes I got a pop-up saying "iTunes was interrupted while restoring the contents of the iPhone "Harvey's iPhone". Would you like to restore again now?" which I am reluctant to press in case I a) lose any data created since the partial restore such as messages and/or b) have to go through any of the above happening again! So can anyone tell me what happens when I press 'continue restore' and if I will lose any of my data?
    Thanks in advance, Harvey

  • What happens when I click to "sync" button?

    If I click on the "sync" button while "manually manage music and videos" is checked in the options section on the summary page in itunes, what will happen? Will iTunes sycn everything including the music or video or will it just sync everything else? I have some songs in my iPod Touch and I don't have them in iTunes. I need to press the "sync" button, but I am afraid of losing my songs if iTunes sync the music.

    Will iTunes sycn everything including the music or video
    It will only sync what you have selected.

  • What happened to right click print - must have option????

    running win 8.1 latest firefox
    IN EXPLORER i can right click and print any image.
    firefox has no print option on right click, even if i view and image there is no print capability not even a right click print. no menu option are avalable. I can print an entire page but not an image on a page like in explorer.
    ONLY way i can print and image in firefox is to save it then open saved file then print.
    if this is not something easily fixed then firefox gets deleted........ please help.

    Been there, been that frustrated over Firefox not having a Contextual Menu Print item - been shaking my head over that since August of 2002 when I switched from IE6 to Phoenix 0.3 ''(the early development version of what became known as Firefox)''.
    Fortunately Firefox is so extensible that many extension developers early on "fixed" that glaring deficiency or oversight. Extensions are your friend in Firefox! You don't like a feature, change it; something is "missing", add it!
    As cor-el mentioned, the Universal Print extension adds the Right-click menu item and there are other extensions that add that menu item, too.
    Here's two more that add that feature:
    https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/printprint-preview/
    https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/print-edit/
    The last one is phenomenal! Allows you to edit a page in Print Preview to get rid of advertisements, unnecessary navigation sidebars, and lessen the number of sheets of paper needed to print longer articles - basically make your own "printer ready" pages when the website doesn't have that feature.

  • What happens if I click "delete backup" in order to delete the iCloud backups from my sisters phone off my device. Will it delete everything on her phone?

    So a while ago when I got my phone I started a new Apple ID account/ iCloud.. Then when my sister got a new iphone I gave her my id to use too. In settings-general-usage it says that my storage is almost full. I then click on manage storage and it shows my phone and my sisters phone and how many gb or whatever. Also it says "last backup failed" and other stuff that's Irrelevant. Now when I click on my sisters phone I have an option to "delete backup" MY QUESTION is if I click the delete backup button will it just delete the iCloud backup off my phone OR will it totally delete everything involving the backup off my sisters phone forever??? Please help! Thank you so much!!!!!

    Deleting a backup deletes the backup only from the iCloud storage, not anything on the iPhone.
    The iPhone's iCloud backup will be updated at some point - automatically when the iPhone is connected to an available wi-fi network while connected to a power source unless the iCloud backup is turned off on the iPhone.

  • What Happens If I Click Restore In iTunes?

    Hi,
    I just ran the 2.0 update on my iPod Touch. A few things are messed up, so I'd like to wipe my iPod Touch and re-sync everything again from scratch. What I don't want to do is restore it from a backup.
    What I'd like to know is, what exactly does the Restore button in iTunes do? Will it wipe off my 2.0 update? Will iTunes keep trying to restore my iPod Touch from its backup?

    I solved the problem. No need to reply.

  • What happened to right-click burn disk?

    If I recall correctly, if you wanted to burn a cd before, you put the blank cd in the Mac then dragged the files you wanted to burn on top of the cd icon and then right-clicked the cd icon and chose "burn-disk". This seems to be gone in Leopard for some reason.

    you can still do it almost as easily. there is a burn button next to the CD icon in finder sidebar and there is another one if you open the CD in finder. as to why it was removed from the right-click menu you have to ask apple. this is a user to user forum and nobody here can answer that.

  • What happened to right-click on Bookmarks?

    If I open Bookmarks and right-click on a website, why are "Open bookmark in a new Tab" and "Open Bookmark in a new window" greyed out? In previous versions, I could just open a bookmarked item in a new tab, but Firefox 4 won't allow me to do this.

    Firefox doesn't have such context menu entries for "Open Bookmark ...". So it looks that there has been a problem with the extension that added them and that started working again.

  • What happened to Right Click

    I've got two mighty mouses and the right click on both of them seems to have died. Did I do something wrong? I've got right click turned on in System Preferences. Is there some history of a hardware problem with these things? It's super frustrating.
    Alternatively, is there a way to get a right click out of universal access keyboard controls? I get that enter works as left click but the list of keyboard commands doesn't seem to have a command for right click.
    Thanks.

    is there a way to get a right click out of universal access keyboard controls?
    If you are referring to the +Mouse Keys+ function, the 5 (center) key on the keypad is a mouse click (with the surrounding keypad numbers moving the cursor). I don't think Enter does anything. Since 5 is a mouse click, pressing Control and 5 is equal to a +Control Click+ (AKA "right click"). Obviously, pressing the Control key and clicking the mouse button will also give you a +Control Click+.
    I've got two mighty mouses and the right click on both of them seems to have died.
    If TWO Mighty Mouses have this problem at the same time, it is more likely that you have some corrupted preferences file that is preventing the "right side click" being +Control Click+ from working.
    To test this possibility, create a new admin user account in System Preferences Accounts pane.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.5/en/8235.html
    Log out and log in to the new account (don't use Fast User Switching). See if you can get the +Control Click+ to work in the new user account, there is something wrong in your current user account and there is nothing wrong with the Mighty Mouse.

  • HT204053 What happens if I click 'deauthorise all' under 'computer authorisations' in Account Information?

    By clicking this do I then get an option to delete one of the computers? Don't want to click it and find I lose everything and can't access iTunes!

    By clicking on it you will deauthorise your account on all of the computers that it is currently authorised on, you don't get a list of computers. It won't remove any of your content from those computers, it just means that you won't be able to to use your iTunes downloads on them until your reauthorise them, which you can do straight away.

  • Change what happens when I click on earbuds

    Hello!
    Let's cut straight to my problem!
    I am fairly new to Macbook, so please be patient and try to understand me (I am from Sweden and my English is not 100%)
    SO... I want to Macbook (Pro) to react the same was as my iPhone (5) when I use my earbuds. Volume up and down works the way I want, simply changeing the volume. But when I have spotify playing on my iPhone and press the mid-button it will act as pause/ play. And double click will do 'next' and triple click will do a 'previous'
    When I try to do this on my Macbook, it will just launch iTunes instead (even though I have Spotify up and running)
    Is there any way I can change the "deafault media player via earbuds" to make them a controller for Spotify/ VLC media player instead of iTunes.
    I hope you guys understand my problem and that the solution is simple! I don't know much technical terms in the Macbook world, so please try and explain simple and step-to-step ways to fixing my problem!
    Thank you!
    Regards Gustav

    Dammit, can't find an edit button o.O
    In other words, I want my earbuds controller to react the same way as the F7 F8 and F9 keys, with previous, play and next
