What will happen on or about May 18 with OSX?

What exactly will happen on or about May 18 with OSX 10.5.8.? I have an early 2008 MacBook and cannot really afford to upgrade. I hope someone can explain what I will or will not be able to do.

Hi MichelPM:
Thanks for getting back to me.
Here's the story. I added a free art app to my iPhone 5s. Just to play around with. It immediately told me I needed to add Dropbox, which was also free. So I did. It then wanted me to add it to my 2008 MacBook, which I know is just too old to take new stuff. It's too old for new printers and many websites do not allow me to use them because my browser is not updated enough to go there. Some, like Gmail, put up the message but let me use it anyway. I asked a question about this in Dropbox's forum and got the answer that I could add Dropbox to my MacBook, but that 10.5 will not be supported from approx May 18. It made me wonder if it will allow me to use this computer at all after that date. I wanted to know what Apple had to say about this, so I wrote my question. Will I still be able to sign in to email providers, access my photographs, read and create new Word documents, etc.?

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

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.)

No reason to be embarassed. You are not alone.
You will need an external drive. If you have a Time Machine drive without enough disk space you can create the clone there however it's advised that you keep your Time Machine and clone on separate drives. If the drive dies you loose both types of backup.
Download and install the clone software. Everyone has their favorite. These are the two most common applications used. I prefer SuperDuper because of it's simplicity in setting up. It's also free for the first clone where with CCC you have to give a Credit Card then cancel if you do not want to keep.
SuperDuper! http://www.shirt-pocket.com/

Select your drive in the To popup. Click on Copy Now. That's it.
Yes, it really is that simple....

What will happen with my installed softwares?

Hi I am using MacBook Pro with C2D and having latest version of SL. But I have installed lots of software useful for my business including virtual machine and I am using Windows 7 ultimate on it. So I am wondering what will happen if I upgrade this to Lion? Do I need to install everything again or it will be as it is like on my snow leopard?

I don't know about VMware, but I can tell you that when I opened Windows XP the first time in Parallels after upgrading to Lion, I had to re-setup the virtual machine. Other than this, no problems. CS3 and older WILL NOT run in Lion, but CS4 and newer run without problems.
Go to About this Mac > applications, and here you can see which of your applications are PowerPC, thus not compatible with Lion.
Cheers

I have a Power Mac G5 Dual 2.3 running 10.5.8, I understand that I can not upgrade to Lion, so what will happen to my Mobile me, which I can not live with out?

Hi Mary, the other so called "Features" of iClound will not work for like Syncing, but eMail will.
MobileMe & dot Mac will still work last I heard.

Don't delete your old account yet. Just setup a new one in Mail>Preferences>Accounts, little plus icon. Choose IMAP as account type, not ,mac or MobileMe.

What happens if I make a picture album on my ipad or iPhone and then sync with my Mac? Will it add a new album to iPhoto on my Mac? Also, what will happen if I add pictures on my ipad to existing albums that I made in iPhoto on my Mac?

So what I have gleemed from this thread - is that Apple will not help me if an iPad mini is dropped and the screen breaks. I would have lived without the insurance if I could have simply bought a new screen and then had it replaced by Apple.
On something so fragile I would have expected a piece of glass to be a replacement part. But I am glad I made this post because now I no for sure if I break the screen there is no way to have it fixed by Apple and keep it in Warranty.
Yup, kind of like anything else you accidentally break that is more cost effective to replace than to repair. Keep that iPad away from the toddler

Just because the iPhone 4 has been discontinued, does not mean you won't get warranty service. You will, & if your phone needs replacing, under warranty, it will be replaced with an identical model.

I have an old imac 27' with OS 10.7. What will happen with lightroom 6 ?

I have an old imac 27 ' with mac os 10.7.
I try creative cloud and lightroom 5. It works perfectly... But what will happen with lightroom 6 ?

It's pretty simple. Lightroom 6 will not run on OS 10.7. See http://blogs.adobe.com/lightroomjournal/2015/01/update-on-os-support-for-next-version-of-l ightroom.html
You will need to either stay with Lightroom 5, or upgrade your operating system.

I want to get a Nikon D3100, but my macbook has OS 10.5.5 on it and I've read that the D3100 needs at least 10.6.5. What will happen if I try to use this camera with my computer? Will iPhoto simply not recognize it or will I get distorted pictures, or..?

The manual says
❚❚ Supported Operating Systems The supplied software can be used with computers running the following operating systems: • Windows: <snip>
• Macintosh: Mac OS X (version 10.4.11, 10.5.8, 10.6.4)
Nikon say that you need 10.6.5+ for the latest firmware, although I don't see why.
Thanks for that! I was looking for that manual, but for some reason, couldn't find it.
I guess I'll have to contact Nikon and find out what the real story is. The camera was introduced in '08 or '09, so I'm wondering why you'd need software as recent as 10.6.5??
Still very confusing. :-?
Why does it state that the camera is compatible with "10.4.11, 10.5.8..."? Does that mean that anything between 4.11 and 5.8 is incompatible???
BTW, I tried downloading the 10.5.8 combo update recently and got an error message that the update was "corrupted" after it was all downloaded, so I was not able to install that.

Migration Planning: What will happen with clients when changing namespace?

Hello,
We are planning to upgrade our EX2010 enviroment to EX2013.
Sadly our namespace in EX2010 is right now owa2.domain.com. The name owa2 is coming from last migration between ex2003 and ex2010. I'd like to remove this minor flaw if possible.
But what will happen with all the clients and mobile devices which are right now bound to owa2.domain.com? Is it possible to change the name back to owa.domain.com without manual interaction with the clients?
Kind Regards

Hi ,
Based on my knowledge for services like pop,imap and active sync we need to have the manual interaction.Without manual intercation we cannot achieve this.
Same time we need to have the new name on the SAN certificate .
For owa users you can simply communicate the new url via email and then for internal outlook and external outlook connectivity we need to repair the profiles to force the autodiscover service to fetch up the new name.On my experience most of the times repair
will not help.So again your only hope would be reconfiguring the existing profiles.
Note : Most importantly before renaming the host A record on the external and internal dns all you need is to reduce the TTL value for the existing host A record on the name owa2.domain.com.So
that external and internal clients will not have the dns cache for a long period.
Anyhow we will wait for some expert inputs on this case.Because their ideas might be good and different than me.
Thanks & Regards S.Nithyanandham

What will happen if my iPod touch is over flowed with memory?

hi there i have my ipod touch and that i put stuff in my ipod and that it was overlowh ed wthall my stuff and it was over by2.4 GB and i wonder what will happen if i leave it alone?

Naturally, it will explode!
Seriously, what do you mean "overflowed?" I suspect that you're talking about something that is simply not possible.

What will happen with the code?

What will happen with the code below?
for (i=0; i<=10000; i++)
Object[] obj = new Object[5];
In every loop, a new Array of Object wll be created. Will the Array of Object created in the
current loop( for example, i=2001), eliminate the Array of Object created in previous loop
(for example, i=2000 or 1999)? How the memory is allocated in every loop?
Thanks.

Each time through the loop, an array of five Object references is created. A reference to this array is assigned to the reference variable obj, causing the previously allocated array to be unreachable (except the first time through the loop, if obj was originally null). The garbage collector will collect these unreachable arrays if the memory gets low.
