What Would Happen if I Locked My MacBook Air?

I have been thinking what would hapen if i locked my mac.
If you know THANK YOU

This is what happens after remotely locking your Mac: When the Mac connects to a wireless network, it will restart on its own, rebooting from the Recovery partition. A prompt to enter the code you specified will appear. The Mac's contents cannot be accessed until that code is entered. Upon entering the code it will restart and the normal Login screen will appear.
Concurrently, you will receive an email informing you that your Mac has been remotely locked.

  • TS3376 what will happen if i lock my macbook from my iphone? will someone still be able to use it?

    On the find my iphone app there is a lock feature for my macbook.  If I put a code in and someone took my laptop will they still be able to access (use) my macbook ?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    If you activate lock mode, your Mac will be locked the next time it connects to Internet and it has your Apple ID. After being locked, it won't be possible to use it anymore unless you have the passcode. The answer to the question is maybe, but normally, it should be locked the next time it gets connected to Internet if the thief doesn't change the Apple ID

  • What will happen if i bend my macbook air screen too much?

    Today my father accidently put too much pressure bending my screen it was on the limit but still he jus kept putting pressure so i wanted to know wil this break my laptop in any way?

    Absolutely, the screen will only take so much pressure before the screen will break! Depending on your model that would be a very expensive repair.

  • 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.
    follow here:
    Methodology to protect your data. Backups vs. Archives. Long-term data protection
    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 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 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.

  • 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'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.

  • 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.

  • 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

    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.

  • Hello Guys, what would happen if I reset my iPhone5 - reset all settings

    Hello Guys, what would happen if I reset my iPhone5 - reset all settings

    If you select the option to reset settings, all settings will be back to default ones, but you will not lose any application, song, movie, etc.
    If you select the option to reset all content and settings, your device will be wiped and it will be back to default settings, so you will need to set it up and transfer all your content to your phone
