  • I just backed up my mac to an external hard drive using Time Machine. What would happen if I turn Time Machine off and then plug the external hard drive back into my computer?

    I just backed up my mac to an external hard drive using Time Machine. What would happen if I turn Time Machine off and then plug the external hard drive back into my computer?
    What I am ultimately wanting to do is make more room on my computer by backing up all of my files onto the external hard drive and then deleting them off of my computer. However, neededing to be able to retrieve them from the external hard drive later down the road.
    From what I have read and am trying to understand, is that I probably shouldn't have used time machine. I need to use the external hard drive like a basic flash drive where I can put things on and get things off without having it automatically update through time machine everytime I connect it to my computer.
    Not tech savvy at all and barely understand basics. I need very simple and easy to understand explanations.

    BIG BIG MISTAKE ..... youre making a linchpin deathtrap for your data trying to shove everything on a single fragile HD.
    Dont suffer the tragedy other people make, buy another or 2 more HD, theyre cheap as dust.
    The number of people who have experienced terror by having a single external HD backup is enormous.  One failure that WILL HAPPEN, and kaput,......all gone!
    Dont do it, its all about redundancy, redundancy, redundancy.

    Deleting them off your computer is fine....having only ONE copy is extremely BAD.
    The Tragedy that will be, the tragedy that never should be
    Always presume correctly that your data is priceless and takes a very long time to create and often is irreplaceable. Always presume accurately that hard drives are extremely cheap, and you have no excuse not to have multiple redundant copies of your data copied on hard drives and squirreled away several places, lockboxes, safes, fireboxes, offsite and otherwise.
    Hard drives aren't prone to failure…hard drives are guaranteed to fail (the very same is true of SSD). Hard drives dont die when aged, hard drives die at any age, and peak in death when young and slowly increase in risk as they age.
    Never practice at any time for any reason the false premise and unreal sense of security in thinking your data is safe on any single external hard drive. This is never the case and has proven to be the single most common horrible tragedy of data loss that exists.
    Many 100s of millions of hours of lost work and data are lost each year due to this single common false security. This is an unnatural disaster that can avoid by making all data redundant and then redundant again. If you let a $60 additional redundant hard drive and 3 hours of copying stand between you and years of work, then you've made a fundamental mistake countless 1000s of people each year have come to regret.

  • What would happen if I cleared the "hidemyip.log"?

    I was concerned about hard drive space, so I downloaded "disk inventor X" to see what all of my memory was being taken up by. I found out that under "var" and "log" a file name called "hidemyip.log" was taking up 104.8GB of my hard drive space. Would it make any differency at all if I were to clear the log? If not, how would I get rid of that 104.8GB of memory being taken up by that? If anyone could point me in the right direction that would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    It's a log file, so you shouldn't have any problem after deleting the file. Note that it won't harm your Mac, because your computer will create the file again if it is needed

  • What would happen if I turn off my backup and delete backup data From my device? Will it delete my music and everything for ever or just stay in the cloud but not on my device?

    What would happen if I turn off my backup and delete backup data From my device? Will it delete my music and everything for ever or just stay in the cloud but not on my device?

    If you have multiple devices backing up to the Cloud, you will see all of them listed. You would click on each device to change what is backed up from that device. You can then delete your individual back-ups.
    Once you have all your settings to your liking, you can then go back to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup, and click on Back Up Now (bottom of the screen) to create a fresh backup with your new settings.

  • If I uninstall iTunes, what would happen to my music?

    I have been having issues with my iPod showing up on iTunes and I was thinking maybe I should completely uninstall it and then install it again. I'm very paranoid and don't want anything to happen to my library if I were to do this though. What would happen?

    Nothing will happen to it.

  • What would happen if I forgot to click on eject, before disconnecting ipod?

    Is it neccessary to click on the eject button before disconnecting my ipod? What would happen if I forgot? Would I lose all my music?

    Ejecting is so old school. I just unplug it like I have been doing for years. No problems yet. I figure that the hardware shouldn't be affected even if there is a little data loss and if it is, it's crap and I will take it back.
    I think the ejecting legend has become a remnant from old-school mac days that hangs around to keep you from unplugging while syncing. Shouldn't be a problem....at least from what I have experienced on Windows. I am not sure if Macs still require that ejecting stuff on external media...

  • What would happen if I...

    I left town un expectedly and didn't bring my iphone charger. My brother has an I phone but does not have the wall charger with him. What would happen if I put my iphone in his docking station while connected to his computer to charge. Would my iphone attempt to sync with his? Is there a way I could stop it from syncing. I don't want his junk and bad taste in music to be on my iphone.

    Prior to putting the phone in the cradle, go into the iTunes preferences. Under the iPhone tab there's a check box that says "Disable Automatic Syncing for all iPhones." Check that box and you'll be fine. The only way it will sync is if you tell it to.
    However, be aware that if the Computer goes into sleep mode while the iPhone is in the charger, not only will the phone not charge, but it will actually drain power.

  • What would happen if i had my ipod sync to a computer then i plugg it in a different computer and i sync it to that computer what would happen

    The contenst of the iPod would be erased and replaced with what is in the itunes library of the computer.  You can manage music among different computers.  See:
    Using iPhone, iPad, or iPod with multiple computers

  • My friend gave me his iphone 4s and the phone is asking me to activate it under my friends apple id and password. my friend and i were wondering what would happen when we activate the iphone 4s? we don't know if its just going to unlock it or somethinels

    my friend gave me his iphone 4s and the phone is asking me to activate it under my friends apple id and password. my friend and i were wondering what would happen when we activate the iphone 4s? we don't know if it ist going to unlock it so we can use it or if it is going to activate his phone again into the iphone 4s

    No it's not stealing. They have an allowance that you can share with so many computers/devices. You'll have to authorize her computer to play/use anything bought on your acct. You can do this under the Store menu at top when iTunes is open on her computer.
    As far as getting it all on her computer....I think but I am not sure (because I don't use the feature) but I think if you turn on Home Sharing in iTunes it may copy the music to her computer. I don't know maybe it just streams it. If nothing else you can sign into your acct on her computer and download it all to her computer from the cloud. Not sure exactly how to go about that, I haven't had to do that yet. I wonder if once you authorize her computer and then set it up for automatic downloads (under Edit>Preferences>Store) if everything would download. Sorry I'm not much help on that.

  • HT3819 What if one device breaks down? What would happen to the itunes libraries in the other linked devices?

    For example, I turned on Home Sharing for two computers in my home. Therefore, the two itunes libraries contain the same data. However, if one computer got a virus and all its data has been wiped out, including my music, films on iTunes - basically, if the computer just broke down....What would happen to the iTunes library in the other computer? Would all its data be wiped out as well?
    Thanks

    Home Sharing lets you stream or copy media from one library to another. If you stream media only the source computer has a copy of the data. If that machine died you would lose the data. If you copy the media across then you have a backup. I don't offhand know if Home Sharing lets you copy ripped CDs as well as store purchases as I've never used it.
    I would recommend you have one master library that you sync all of your devices to and you back that up! Other computers can then stream content or you can make local copies.

  • What would happen if I were to delete the primary email address linked to my Apple ID?

    I wish to completely de-activate my @hotmail email address in order to be left with just my @icloud email address becuase I would find life more managable that way.
    I found out that I cannot change my primary @hotmail email address linked to my Apple ID with an @icloud email address as it is an active, separate Apple ID (in itself with a separate purchase / download history etc)...
    Also I am aware that separate Apple ID's cannot be merged together...
    My question is: "What would happen if I were to delete the primary email address linked to my Apple ID?"
    Would I be able to keep and use my purchases, provided they are backed up on my Mac and authorised?
    Would I be able to update those transferred purchases even though the email address linked to the apple ID in which the app was bought no longer exists?

    You can change the primary e-mail address associated with your Apple ID, so long as it isn't a mac, me or icloud email.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5621
    Your Apple ID account, regardless of the primary email, can never be 'deleted', just abandoned.
    You could always just switch between the two Apple IDs as needed, to access the different purchases.

  • What's the difference between client combo and server combo? Also, what would happen if I install both?

    what's the difference between client combo and server combo? Also, what would happen if I install both?

    One is for the base version of the Mac OS, the other is for the Server version. You can only install the one that matches your system.

  • What would happen if I used Recovery Disk?

    I've recently bought a new iMac (Core i5) that came with Lion pre-installed, but I needed Snow Leopard for all my older software e.g. Photoshop CS, so I got the sellers to install SL for me. Everything is fine.
    Out of curiosity I tried to see if I could run Tiger from my old G5 HDD which is connected via USB, but it didn't come up in the list when I did Restart + Option. However, what DID come up was an extra drive named "Recovery". I understand this is a separate Lion partition on my HDD - so, what would happen if I selected that via Restart + Option? Would it open Lion on my iMac so I could have a play around with it? And if it did, would I then be able to get back to SL and all my data, users, and settings, after I'd finished?
    I don't want to try it out without advice, in case Lion overwrites SL irretrievably.

    My question is this : can I safely restart from Recovery in order to just play around with Lion, or will starting from Recovery reinstall Lion over the top of SL on my main disk?
    If your machine only has SL and the Recovery HD, then the only thing you can do when booting into the latter is REINSTALL Lion on top of SL or do some basic things, but Lion isn't installed. Details in Recovery/ and About Lion Recovery.

  • Can I Do This?  What Would Happen?

    Hello Everyone. I preordered my 3GS and received it last Friday at the store, and signed the 2 year renewal thing. My online account is still saying I am eligible for an upgrade and it will allow me to order the 3GS at the 199/299 price. What would happen if I ordered one at that price? Would they eventually charge me the difference in sub vs. non-sub price, or did something mess up in my initial renewal last week and it never process?
    Does your online account still say your eligible for an upgrade?

    What version of iPhoto do you have?
    Regards

  • My iMac was synchronised to my iPod in the store I purchased it. When I purchase an audio books it is not synching accross to the iPod. Am I missing something . What would happen if I use the 'sync' button again?

    Yes. Other things have synced including books, but I don't know how these happened. According to the 'audible' instructions it should happen automatically, but it doesn't.
