What happens with TM if I rename my main hard drive

I just installed Leopard on a older PowerMac G5, and after completing the first (excruciatingly slow) TM backup, realized I hadn't yet set the name of the hard drive as I wanted.
What will TM do if I rename the main HD it's backing up? Will it start the complete backup again, or recognize that it was just a name change?

no, I'm right. TM tracks drives by UUIDs not by names. I don't know what happened in your case but you must have done more than simply change the drive name.
This must be one of those odd things that works one way for some, another for others (like the full backup after a full restore).
I just did it again:
Copied a folder with a few files to an empty partition.
Ran TM. It backed-up the folder and files.
Renamed the partition (via Finder, right-click on name in sidebar, Rename)
Ran TM. No UUID message, but it backed-up the folder and files, using the new partition name.
Verified via both +Enter Time Machine+ and TimeTracker.

Suddenly all my Word documents are gone. What happened? Are they recoverable (no back-up hard drive or time machine)

Suddenly all my Word documents are gone. What happened? Are they recoverable (no back-up hard drive, no time machine)?

Greetings,
What happened right before they went missing? (software updates, "cleaning" up the computer, etc.)
Are your other files still there like music, movies, pictures, bookmarks, etc?
I'm sure you've already come to this conclusion yourself, you need a back up. Its easy to do with 10.5.8 and later: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1553.
Try searching your account for any ".doc" files (Word documents) by going to File > Find and using the options below:
If you don't find any of the documents you are looking for in the search window and nothing else is missing then it would be wise to get a second opinion ASAP before any chance of data recovery is lost.
Make an appointment with a Mac Genius at an Apple store (they don't do data recovery but may be able to see something we can't see from here) or contact an Apple Authorized Service Provider to see if they can look around the hard drive for you.
If the second opinion reveals that the data is really gone off the entire computer then you will need data recovery software or service:
Data recovery software requires you have a separate hard drive so you'll need to buy one first. Data recovery software examples:

There are many nationwide / worldwide data recovery companies out there. Here are a few examples:

HT4918 what happen with the documents in Idisk, how can i see them in iCloud?

what happen with the documents that i have in my idisk?? how can i move them into icloud??

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Unfortunately, iCloud does not offer equivalents to Mobile Me’s iDisk, Gallery or Web Hosting services. You will need to find a third party solution to replace these services. You might consider DropBox, SugarSync, MediaFire or any other service that offers online storage. (not all these alternatives offer all the services previously provided by iDisk)

Cloning Hdd to SSD boot drive and what happens with Music/Logic Plugins

Hi, my computer is a mid-2012 Mac Pro 12 Core
It's a great computer but I'm considering upgrading my main boot drive (WD Caviar Black 1TB HDD) to a 1tB Samsung EVO 840 SSD drive (I'm using a sonnet tempo PCI card to mount an SSD that holds audio at the moment and will add another SSD for the boot drive I'm referring to) so I just had a question - if I clone the HDD to the new SSD, what happens with things like licenses for my audio plugins, such as Native Instruments Komplete, programs by IKMultemedia. programs that use an ILOK such as Steven Slate Plugins and also, WAVES plugins? Will this info all carry across to the new SSD drive or do you think I'll need to reauthorise some things? I have all the serials etc so this shouldn't be an issue, but just wondered.
Any help would be appreciated as it feels like quite a big step in that it's my main system drive!
Thanks in advance
Sam

CCC is excellent. If it doesn't work then sure, just always have a safety net of your system that is untouched.
Also, after a clean install, CLONE it!
And then use Setup Assistant. Migration Assistant.
Clone of the system can go on sparse disk images too so you don't have to partition (should have at least one though) and you can have clone from different stages and versions: 10.9.4, without Setup Assistant, migrated, full loaded with all your apps. Multiple versions.
CCC is designed to make a working bootable copy of a system so you can move the system to another boot device like hdd and SSDs without the worry.
But I think we were talking about a system that did not see a clean install of Mountain Lion or Mavericks so it is over due for one!

Download the full version of the software then shift click the restore button. This will ask you where the firmware files are. Once you point to the firmware then you can install the official version

What happens with bootcamp after ios update

Hello,
I am about to update from ios 10.7 to 10.8 (Mountain Lion). What happens with my (data on) bootcamp? Do I need to reinstall it?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Marcel Rombeek

iOS and Mac OS X are completely separate things, so I'm a bit confused. But assuming you're referring solely to updating Mac OS X, upgrading to Mountain Lion should not affect your Bootcamp partition in any way, though with Mountain Lion not yet released, we can't say with absolute certainty.
Regards.

Restore your library from an up to date backup.
If you don't have a backup (which you really should), see turingtest2's user tip on Empty/corrupt iTunes library after upgrade/crash for steps necessary to restore your library within iTunes - this assumes that your media is all present on your computer, as it always should be.
Otherwise, see tt2's notes on Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device

A good replacement is the freeware suite, Libre Office, which is similar in functionality to Office 2007 for Windows but without Outlook.
