What happens on a G5 if you upgrade to iCloud?

If I go to a newer mac and complete the conversion from MobileMe to iCloud what will happen on my older G5 power mac? If I do convert my account now will iDisk still work through the Mobile Me system preferences (I see online a note from Apple that they will continue the service for a limited time, but I am not clear if that is only if I do not upgrade)?
What are the disadvantages of upgrading now?
Thanks,
Doug

It is possible to upgrade using a non-Lion Mac - I did it this morning with Snow Leopard - you go to http://me.com/move and follow the instructions: when it asks you to confirm that your Mac has Lion you lie and say 'Yes".
However the only thing you will be able to do - probably, because I can't absolutely confirm this will work on a G5 - is enter the mail settings manually to access your Mail: you should also be able to do this at icloud.com as long as your browser isn't too ancient.
This would enable you to retain your email address, but your online bookmarks and contacts will disappear as they can't be transferred from your Mac: if you are syncing using the 'new' MobileMe calendar the calendars may be transferred, though I'm not sure - you won't be able to sync them with your G5 once they are on iCloud, so they won't update unless you do it manually.
They will disappear anyway next June, whatever you do (short of getting a new computer) when MobileMe is closed. Until then your iDisk will continue to work as normal, but you need to be thinking about how you are going to deal with this or you will lose data.

What happens if I choose to NEVER upgrade to IOS 6?

Mapping problems.
Power drainage
Slow applications
Bluetooth problems
Hopefully Apple will fix most or all of these issues. I certainly will not upgrade until then.
However, what happens if I decide to NEVER upgrade to IOS6? Will my phone stop working at some point?

There's no reason it should stop working. You may find yourself in a position where apps you want to run start requiring iOS 6. Be careful when updating apps to read the fine print on them before you do so.

What happens to iTunes credit when you use family sharing.

Making purchases
After you set up your family, any time a family member initiates a new purchase it will be billed directly to your account unless that family member has gift or store credit. First, their store credit will be used to pay the partial or total bill. The remainder will bill to the family organizer. As the family organizer, any receipts generated by the transaction will be sent to you. Learn more about how iTunes Store purchases are billed.

What happens to my websites created in iWeb when iCloud replaces IWeb (Rumoured)?...

What happens to my websites created in iWeb when iCloud replaces IWeb as is rumoured... they will be lost?

To tell you te truth We should should've all expected this...
With no new updates to iWeb in a good couple of years, even though it's an amazing piece of software enjoyed by million. It upsets me no end to see apple continually doing this and what have they done exactly? Left goodness knows how many customers worried and uncertain about a product they love and rely on, I do anyway.
One of the main reasons I have a Mac isn't only the build quality and the OS, although that does have a fair amount to do with it. The main reason for me moving to Apple and investing in a machine all those years ago was iWeb, being a creative control freak, I love to be able to get out my Mac, open iWeb and in minutes create a new launch page for a new mix, upgrade some of my services a customers asked for, recreate any aspect of how I present myself to people at a click of a button... I know you can upload to FTP server but phooey, why damage a good thing.
This as annoyed me no end... so I'll not doubt I'll be taking it out on an Apple employee tomorrow when I take back my blown power pack for my MacBook pro, my third one in 8 months... I sign of the way apple is going?
PS as for iOS 5 ... Seriously underwhelmed, we've been given features 90% of which should have been launched in iOS3!.. Oh, although I can't handle windows anymore, have you see. The new Windows 8 layer? Watch out Apple, he's behind you

HT201317 What happens to photos stored after 30 days on icloud?

What happens to photos stored after 30 days on icloud?

Photos are deleted from PhotoStream in the cloud after 30 days, regardless of the number of photos stored there.
Once synced to your device, they will remain there indefinitely until you hit 1000 photos in the PhotoStream album on the phone, at which point the oldest photos will be deleted and newer photos will replace them.

HT4707 what happens to Keychain data when I move to iCloud?

what happens to Keychain data when I move to iCloud? Can I still access Keychain passwords?

Thanks Carolyn,
And yes. Keychain does still work.
But why-oh-why do Apple have to give contradictory information yet again in the sign up process? It seems they just want to cover their arses so much that they would rather give out misleading information, that something might go wrong, just in case it does, than tell us everything will be OK & then if we lose data, we, (Americans with a penchant for litigation), are automatically going to sue thier bollocks off.
This happens so many times with pop-up warnings. I'm running two macs & an iphone and I very nearly didn't go for Lion & icloud and seriously considered going back to Windows. Only a chance conversation in an Apple store stopped me and made me persevere through the warnings.
Cheers,
Steve

What happens to my photos if i delete my icloud backup?

what happens to my photos if i delete my icloud backup?

Nothing. Deleting the backup only deletes the backup. It doesn't delete anything else from iCloud or from your devices/computers.

What happened to our web services after upgrading to 701?

Hi,
We started using web services on a 700 server. Looks something like this.
SAP_ABA     700     0018     SAPKA70018     Cross-Application Component
SAP_BASIS     700     0018     SAPKB70018     SAP Basis Component
PI_BASIS     2005_1_700     0018     SAPKIPYJ7I     PI_BASIS 2005_1_700
We could create a proxy in vb.net and call our SAP web services like this:
        Dim ws As New sapserver.webservice1
        Dim input As New sapserver.ZGetuname
        Dim output As New sapserver.ZGetunameResponse
        out2 = ws.ZGetuname(input)
After upgrading to nw ep 7.1, which looks like this.
SAP_ABA     701     0007     SAPKA70107     Cross-Application Component
SAP_BASIS     701     0007     SAPKB70107     SAP Basis Component
PI_BASIS     701     0007     SAPK-70107INPIBASIS     Basis Plug-In
We no longer get the same input and ouput classes generated for us when consuming the service. It looks like it is now expected to be called like a function    ws.ZGetuname( param 1, param 2).
We would like to be able to generate the proxy the same way as before. Any ideas?
Thanks.

What happened to the file numbers after switching to Photos. It would be nice to still have the file numbers show.
You mean, the filename with the number on the card?
Photos does not use the filenames as a title, when displaying the thumbnails. The filename will only show in the Info panel.
Copy the filenames to the title field in the Info panel and then enable "Metadata" in the View menu.
I wrote a script to copy the filenames automatically to the title field, see:
Photos for Mac: Batch Changing the Titles to the Filename

What happens to the conversation when you delete or move a message?

I've always been a bit unclear what happens to other message in a thread/conversation when you delete or move the current message you are reading.
Therre are 3 relevant view settings it seems:
Organize by conversation (turned on).
Display selected message only (not selected - why would one want to select this if organizing by conversation? Is there a use for that?)
Show/Hide related messages (turned on so I can see replies I sent in the conversation).
If I want to move the current message I'm reading, it seems to move the entire conversation to the target folder. But that's not what I want to do.
Yet if I delete the current message I think it only deletes that one message.
I'm a bit confused about how to think of this. Sometimes I see messages show up under "related messages" that are a year old that I thought I long deleted.
Any easy way of thinking about how this is all working?
Thanks,
doug

What happens to additional lines when you don't renew contract?

My contract is nearly up, and I will not be renewing. I am purchasing a home and will be going to a pre paid stupid phone. I have two other lines on my account. The second one is my gfs and hers expires a month after mine. The third one is my parents (basic phone) and it doesnt expire till 2015.
Since it's my account, if I close it after my gfs contract expires...what happens to the third line? Right now with sharing my minutes it only costs me $17 a month for it. I can only imagine that when it's all by itself that cost would rise considerably.

Well if your out of contract and leave, the second line would become the primary. If your girl friend leaves after you then the third line on your account becomes primary. Now the cost of a basic phone is cheaper than a smart phone. However the individual plan for a basic phone I have no idea. Just call *611 and ask what a one line basic phone rate would be or look it up at the http://www.verizonwireless.com portal.
Your parent could do an assumption of liability for that line to take it off your hands. Again ask your parent if that is what you and them want to do.
Now if you just take the basic phone away, under the termination fee its $175 with $5 off each month until the 24 months are up. The balance you would have to pay.
Good Luck

My iphone 4s get wet in water yesterday and now back flash light get stuck and camera also will not open what happen to it ? will you please help me ?

my iphone get wet in water yesterday and back camera flash light get stucked, how can i recover it ? please help me ?

What happened is it got wet. Water and electronics don't go well together. You need to switch it off and bury it in bag of dry rice for a week at least. This may or may not work - but continuing to try to use it in its current state will kill it for sure. You can enquire at an Apple store about out-of-warranty replacement, depending on where you are.

What happens to my iphone stuff stored in my icloud account when my iphone is reset or restored to factory settings?

I've been researching how unwanted spyware can impact personal iphone usage. I understand - First iphone must've had a JailBreak happen then a spyware app downloaded, installed and activated for iphone to be compromised but no one has described how to determine IF your iphone HAS suffered an unwanted JailBreak attack or worse. (1) How can you determine if an unwanted JailBreak has actually happened to your iphone? Also, icons for the spyware can be hidden and the best advice I obtained to remove unwanted hidden apps completely was by doing a thorough cleaning using the reset to "Factory Settings" option. No doubts would exist after that cleansing. So going back to factory settings made sense to me until now. Formerly, I had no iCloud account with my previous iphone and now I do. My new upgraded iPhone, MacBook Pro and now my new Mini iPad are now linked together in my new iCloud account. If I were to do a reset to factory settings option then my best "guess" is that the unwanted hidden apps would be removed from my iCloud account too... WHEN... I did a clean backup with my reset cleaned device(s). (2) Is that reset cleaned device(s) backup scenario true? (3) What happens to my iCloud account when the "factory settings option" is activated and how are the linked devices unitedly impacted?

iCloud does not store your apps in any case. The App Store simply recognizes that you have purchased the app in the past and allows you to re-download it onto any device which is signed into the same iTunes account. If you've managed to get an app on your iPhone by some other means then it is only on that one device. A Jailbreak can only happen if you initiated it yourself (unless the phone was second-hand, of course).
