What happens when i erase my ipad

If i have disabled my ipad and now i want to erase it, what happens?

As was already mentioned twice here, it will be returned to a "new" state with none of your past settings, data or music intact. If you are running iOS 7 (you don't state what iPad nor it's iOS version), and you had Activation Lock enabled on it and don't have the password, you will NOT be able to restore it, even as new.
If you are running iOS 6 or below or iOS 7 with Activation Lock *disabled*, restoring the device as new will give you access to the device after this is done.

What happens when I erase all content and settings?

I gave my son my iPhone 4. We just put his sim card in and it started working and I told him to change the apple id to his. However, this morning, he said that he still gets my iMessages. So we did an erase all content and settings. Now the phone doesn't work. What do we do?

When you erase all contents and settings - it wipes the phone clean.
If your son gets your imessage, on his phone go to settings - message - send&receive - uncheck or remove your apple id.

You can try contacting iTunes support and see if they will grant you a re-download of them : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

HT201342 What happens when I purchase a new iPad? How Will my music, photos and information transfer? Does iCloud hold all of that, if so how do I access it?

What happens when I purchase a new iPad? How Will my music, photos and information transfer? Does iCloud hold all of that, if so how do I access it?

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
When you set up iCloud on a new device, you will get photos from Photo Stream (you will have to transfer them to the device), your contacts, calendars, notes, reminders and your iCloud mail address. All of this will be done automatically by iCloud when you log in iCloud on your device.
To transfer your purchased music, see > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519 Also, if you have the music on your computer, just connect the iPad to the computer and sync it with iTunes to get your apps, movies, music...

What happens when the Time Machine drive is full?

I'm on my second iMac. My first one (G5, 1984) died, and I replaced it early 2010 with an Intel mac. The transition when exceedingly well largely due to Time Machine. I just hooked the Time Machine drive to the new system, and I was soon back up running!
My home folder has 70GB of data. The Macintosh drive has 105GB of data and 395GB free. The Time Machine drive has 220GB used and 30GB free.
1. What happens when the Time Machine drive is full?
2. Do I have control over what backups get deleted?
3. If lightning strikes twice, will I still be able to restore my Intel mac like my G5 mac, even if backups get deleted?
4. Is there anyway to control what backups/backup files get deleted?
5. Any other thoughts?
Thanks.

Do you mean all of them? The entire Backups.backupdb folder?
That's a large mess. First, even a normal delete will take a very long time, as there are probably hundreds of thousands, or even millions, of files. Your best bet by far is to simply erase them with Disk Utility -- that will only take a few moments. If your TM drive has a single partition, see #1 in [Formatting, Partitioning, Verifying, and Repairing Disks|http://web.me.com/pondini/AppleTips/DU.html]. If there are other partition(s) on the drive, see #2 there.
If not, and you only deleted some of the folders, you have a different, worse problem. Unfortunately, Apple doesn't do a very good job of warning folks: +*Never move, change, or delete anything in your backups via the Finder or Terminal.+*
You shouldn't have to delete backups at all, since Time Machine will do that automatically when the disk/partition gets full. But you can do it without harm via Time Machine. See #12 in [Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions|http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/FAQ.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum).
A normal delete will take a very long time, as there are probably tens or hundreds of thousands of items, each of which must be individually deleted. A secure delete will take much, much longer, as each deleted file must be overwritten with zeros.

What happens when i restore my iPhone?

i was curious as to what happens when you plug your iphone into itunes and click restore.
will i lose all my contacts and pictures?
and will it make the backlight on my iphone work?

A restore may help your iphone - it is one of the troubleshooting steps. Page 141 of the manual:
"If you restore, the latest version of iPhone software is reinstalled, default settings are
restored, and data stored on iPhone is deleted, including downloaded applications,
songs, videos, contacts, photos, calendar information, and any other data. In iTunes,
you can also restore from a backup without deleting data stored on iPhone.
Deleted data is no longer accessible via the iPhone user interface, but is not
permanently erased from your iPhone until it is overwritten by new data. For
information about permanently erasing all content and settings, see “Resetting
iPhone” on page 109. "

I gave you the link to the Apple article to determine hardware failure earlier. If those steps or a reset, restore don't work then you need to call or visit Apple for a replacement.

What happens when i rest my iphone 3gs ?

what happens when i rest my iphone 3gs ?

iTunes will backup the device.
The device is erased completely.
The current version of iOS is downloaded.
iOS is then installed.
You then get an option to install the previous backup or as a New device.

What happens when you AirDrop from Mac to iPhone and click Cancel?

I have a Late 2013 27" iMac running OS X Yosemite 10.10 and an iPhone 6 Plus running iOS 8.0.2.
I can take a PDF on my iMac, drag it to my iPhone in the AirDrop section of Finder, and it transfer to my iPhone just fine. Once it's finished transferring, a popup shows on my iPhone asking me what app I want to open the PDF in, which is great. At the bottom of that popup is a "Cancel" option. My question is, what happens when you tap "Cancel" instead of one of the apps? Is the file still somewhere on the iPhone? Or does it get deleted?

Connecting to a new computer or iTunes will always erase the device first. Back up manually before by right clicking on the iPod in the device list and choosing "backup". A manual backup does not include the sync process. You can use this backup to restore from after your iPod got wiped during the first sync.
Transfer your purchases the same way and make sure to have at least one contact and event listed on your Mac, to be able to merge data.
See also iTunes: About iOS backups to get more info about the content of a backup, and How to back up your data and set up as a new device , if you want to know more about saving info from the iPod before setting it up in iTunes.

You did not ruin the phone, you will need a sim card to activate the phone and then connect the phone to itunes and do a restore from back up.

What happens when an iPod is synchronized with an iTunes library that is bigger than the available space on the iPod?

What happens when an iPod is synchronized with an iTunes library that is bigger than the available space on the iPod? I did this some time ago. On screen was shown available space somewhat less than 120 GB, but maybe somewhere between 10 and 20 GB more in the library. I had to get the iPod updated anyway, so I did proceed. However, afterwards the total content of the library was only about 110 GB. Now I wonder what did actually happen. Was the first sign only corrected for double copies of the same files or lost files or where files deleted from iTunes? And if files where deleted from iTunes, were they also deleted from my computer?

Same as you would if you bought a pc; copy everything from your old computer to your new one. Then you can just sync everything from the new computer, as you did with the old one.

What happens when multiple users access the same servlet?

Do the users share all the same resources? Or is a new process generated for each user? I have a servlet that builds a string to return to the user and I only have myself to test, so I can't really see what happens when many users access the servlet. Is there a possibility that the string will get screwed up, like when dealing with multiple threads, or do all the users get their own resources and I don't have to worry about that?

huh? if you can point a test servlet at it, you can point a browser at it (even if the servlet does not serve html it will run)
try pasting the servlet URL into a web browser
refreshing multiple browsers repeatedly could provide a manual test

I want to change my Apple ID because I have a new email address, but what happens when someone tries to facetime me using my old Apple ID?

I want to change my Apple ID because I have a new email address, but what happens when someone tries to facetime me using my old Apple ID? Will they still be able to contact me on facetime using my old Apple ID?

Not if you change the ID. You would need to give them the new address.

I recently downloaded Parallels 9 to my imac so I could install Windows 7 Home Premium and had no trouble everthing is working fine the only question I have is is there a benefit to migrating the 2 together and what happens when I do Thanks. Ricco

I recently downloaded Parallels 9 to my imack so I could install Windows 7 Home Premiumwith no problem and everthing is working fine, and I was thinking of Migrating the 2 2 and was wondering what benefits there would be and what happens when I do.

Windows 7 will peer down through the VM and remember what hardware the VM is installed on. Migrate the VM to different Mac hardware, and on first boot, Windows 7 will advise you that you are not using genuine Microsoft Windows. It will then treat you as though it believes you misappropriated it.
