What will happen if i dont back my mac up before installing os s yosmite beta

what will happen to my mac if i dont back it up before installing os x yosmite ?

We have no idea what might happen; it is not good to run beta software on a regular production machine. We also cannot help with any problem you might encounter - you will need to contact Apple and/or provide them feedback due to the confidentiality agreement (you're not allowed to discuss the beta anywhere and we're not allowed to discuss it).
So, if you want to install it, do so on an external drive or partition so your regular system is safe.

  • What will happen if I downloaded the iOS 7 in my ipad mini? What will happen to my data, photo and downloaded apps before (ios6).

    What will happen if I downloaded the ios7 in my iPad mini?  What will happen to my saved photo, data and otherdownloaded apps in ios6?  Will all of that erased?

    The advice to back up is good.
    And one other thing.  If you don't currently use a passcode to use your iPad, I really recommend you set one up before you update.  Just make sure you either know what your currently use, or if you set one up, you write it down somewhere safe for future reference.

  • What will happen if i dont activate exchange 2010 server - technically

    i am not trying to brake the rules and i know each product should be licensed
    i just want to know what are the TECHNICAL consequences if i don't activate an exchange 2010 SP3 server in my lab, will it stop working?

    You will get a popup saying your system is not registered.  There are no other issues that occur if it isn't registered.  If you don't register Windows, that's another story.

  • What will happen if we dont give occurs clause  while creating an inttable?

    hi
    experts can u help me pzzzzzzzzzzzzz

    hi
    work area wont be created.
    table is created without header line
    <b>the OCCURS  clause also defines how many table entries are maintained in main storage. Extra records are written out to paging area and can effect performance.</b>
    <b>EXAMPLE:</b>
    TYPES : begin of line,
              empno          type I,          
              empname(20)        type c     ,           
             end of line.
    By using DATA statement we need to create internal table by referring to TYPES data type.
    hope it clears ur doubt
    regards

  • Clean install of ML - what will happen?

    I have made a bootable USB drive with Mountain Lion installer.
    I am prepared to make a clean install of ML on my drive (since it has become slow and glitchy).
    I have a clone of my Mac drive, and have made a dmg of my windows drive and put them both on a bootable external hard drive.
    Now I am ready to proceed in formatting my mac drive but I have to questions (which no one after hours of googling seem to be able to answer):
    Two questions.
    1. What will happen to my Boot camp partition after a clean install of Mac OS X? Will I still be able to boot windows normally?
    2. What happens to programs that requires license to install, for example Office 2011, Photoshop CS5 etc? Will they allow me to restore it from TimeMachine backup or my clone or do I need new licenses?
    From what I've read so far... The least problems is if I keep my username exactly as it is, manually copying files and folders from the clone drive to the new installation of ML. Downloading fresh programs from the internet. But still, the licensed ones will have files spread all over and can't easily be copied right? And also, will my computer be able to instantly recognize the boot camp partition and load it normally?

    Your question 1.
    Do not manually copy any files... particularly applications. There is so much that has to be moved over, it is impossible to know where these files are. When you reinstall the OS you will be asked if you want to transfer stuff over. Take that route, and save yourself an impossible task.
    The good news is that when you do it that way the license info should also be transferred. In any case you do not need NEW licenses. At worst you will have to do a one-time re-enter of the ones you have.
    Your question 2.
    I believe, but let's hope some one more knowledgeable than I will confirm, the Bootcamp partition does not have to be erased during a clean install.

  • What will happen if I restore my iPhone if it hasnt let me back it up?

    I tried to back-up my iPhone 3gs but a message came up saying it needed to be updated first. I updated it and now there is a message on the phone screen saying that i need to connect to itunes, however when i try this, its telling me I need to restore my iPhone first. What will happen if I restore it with no way of knowing whether its backed up or not.
    Thank you
    Panicking!!!!!

    Download iTunes into your computer/laptop.  Upon iTunes completion, connect your iPhone 3Gs to your computer via USB port.  Wait for a minute or 2.  iTunes would automatically backup your iPhone without you doing anything. Make sure you're connected to WIFI.
    Good luck

  • How the data is stored in Info cube...in the back end what will happen???

    Hi Experts,
    How the data is stored in Info cube and DSO...in the back end what will happen???
    I mean  Cube contain Fact table and Dimension tables How the data will store and what will happen in the backend???
    Regards,
    Swetha.

    Hi,
    Please check :
    How is data stored in DSO and Infocube
    InfoCubes are made up of a number of InfoObjects. All InfoObjects (characteristics and key figures) are available independent of the InfoCube. Characteristics refer to master data with their attributes and text descriptions.
    An InfoCube consists of several InfoObjects and is structured according to the star schema. This means there is a (large) fact table that contains the key figures for the InfoCube, as well as several (smaller) dimension tables which surround it. The characteristics of the InfoCube are stored in these dimensions.
    An InfoCube fact table only contains key figures, in contrast to a DataStore object, whose data part can also contain characteristics. The characteristics of an InfoCube are stored in its dimensions.
    The dimensions and the fact table are linked to one another using abstract identification numbers (dimension IDs) which are contained in the key part of the particular database table. As a result, the key figures of the InfoCube relate to the characteristics of the dimension. The characteristics determine the granularity (the degree of detail) at which the key figures are stored in the InfoCube.
    Characteristics that logically belong together (for example, district and area belong to the regional dimension) are grouped together in a dimension. By adhering to this design criterion, dimensions are to a large extent independent of each other, and dimension tables remain small with regards to data volume. This is beneficial in terms of performance. This InfoCube structure is optimized for data analysis.
    The fact table and dimension tables are both relational database tables.
    Characteristics refer to the master data with their attributes and text descriptions. All InfoObjects (characteristics with their master data as well as key figures) are available for all InfoCubes, unlike dimensions, which represent the specific organizational form of characteristics in one InfoCube.

  • Mailed back a new iphone. what will happen next?

    I ordered a new unlocked iphone trough the Apple store, but it arrived damaged. The outside had everything ok, but as soon as I grabbed it I noticed that there was something loose inside the phone it also made noises. So I returned it back in to the box and mailed it back. It’s been a week since I returned it and I haven´t received any mails. Also there was no charge in my credit card. Will I get a new iphone or what will happen?

    You did call the Apple Store and get an RMA number before you sent it back?

  • What will happen if I don't install ios7 on iphone5

    What would happen if I dont eventually install ios7 on iphone5? i've been hearing about all the battery drain issues and reluctant to install ios? I heard something about phone would not functioning properly because of updated new apps on an old software? Will apple fix this issue possibly?
    Back when I had a 3G and installed the new update my phone suffered drastically and for 4 yrs was stuck with a phone I had to charge constantly after 2-3hrs of consecutive use or less.

    Nothin will happen. you will be able to use the phone the way you are using it right now. Apps crashing is not actaully because of ios 7. ios 7 just came out so most of the app's developer havent actually made their apps compatible with ios7 thats why most ppl are having the issues. If the battery issue is because of ios 7 than Apple defintely will fix all the issues eventually with another update.

  • If a new apple id sign in.what will happen to the old apple id if you erase or reset the phone?

    I buy a new iphone 5s and the store open it and put his apple id to download some stuff.. And after that i try to make my own apple id. What will happen if i erase all data and it is in need of apple id.. Will it be the old apple id or my apple id?? I heard that if i erase all data. The apple id of which i buy my iphone will appear and mine will not??

    If the store setup the phone with an Apple ID/Password, that is not yours, & turned on Find My Phone, then you will need that Apple ID/Password to re-activate the phone. Called Activation Lock. Read here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH13695
    So, go back to the store where you got this phone & have them fix things.

  • I'm worried about what will happen if I delete my recent backup data from the phone I still own? Will I lose any progress in games that was saved in the backup?

    I'm worried about what will happen if I delete my recent backup data from the phone I still own? Will I lose any progress in games that was saved in the backup?
    I have an iPhone 4S and I keep getting those irritating notifications that tell me I need to upgrade my storage or free up space. I've deleted all I can from my music and photos without losing too many precious memories, but it's come to the point where I think I need to delete backups. However, I'm just worried that I will lose all and any log-in information that I don't remember and app/game progress that was saved to the iCloud. Please Tell me what will happen/what I can do?

    If you are asking what happens when you delete an iCloud backup, it only deletes the backup from your account.  It won't do anything to the data on your phone or in your iCloud account.  If you don't need to backup you can delete it.  (If you no longer want to back up your phone to iCloud, turn iCloud backup off in Settings>iCloud>Backup.  Then your phone will back up to your computer each time you sync it with iTunes.)

    I never used icloud before so there is no data to back up from. I just spoke  to the apple store and they said that if I do plug it in, all the data will be swiped....is there a program I can use to transfer my data from my phone to computer without loosing it all ???
