  • 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 were to delete all the files on my Mac Mini?

    I was just wondering...Since i've owned my mac mini for a while now, overtime i've managed to have kept A LOT of files on my mac...
    I don't want to delete individual files as that would take forever, but what would happen if I would delete every file and restart my mac? Just out of curiosity

  • What would happen if you try to install snow leopard from disk in mac running mavericks

    I've had mavericks installed since it caem out . The longer I use it the more I want it to go away. It is th WORST piece of software apple ever put out. My opinion of course.
    To revert back to SL sounds like more tinkering than I've time for and probably also lack the necesary knowledge to do correctly.  Plus---when i installed Mavericks it destroyed most of the data in  Time Machine.
    Anyone have any solutions???

    You will need a full backup of your system from the time befor you upgraded to Mavericks. This document describes how to do it:
    OS X Mavericks: Revert to a previous OS X version
    The biggest problem will be, that all your documents and Aperture libraries by now will have been upgraded by newer application versions. Your current Aperture library will be version Aperture 3.5.1, bur Aperture 3.5.1 is incompatible with Snow Leopard. You will have to reinstall version 3.2.4. But that will not be able to open your current Aperture library and there are no tools to downgrade the Aperture library. You will lose your edits, metadata, etc. I cannot recomment to go this way.

  • Are the photos in the file 'iphoto library' duplicates of whats already in the finder? Also what would happen if i were to delete it?

    So i found this iphoto library file and its a solid 10gb large, yet i still have all my photos seperate in my finder. I need to free up some space and i was wondering if i could delete this file without losing all my photos.

    Really important question:
    Are you running a Managed or a Referenced Library?
    A Managed Library, is the default setting, and iPhoto copies files into the iPhoto Library when Importing. The files are then stored in the Library package
    A Referenced Library is when iPhoto is NOT copying the files into the iPhoto Library when importing because you made a change at iPhoto -> Preferences -> Advanced. (You unchecked the option to copy files into the Library on import) The files are then stored where ever you put them and not in the Library package. In this scenario you are responsible for the File Management.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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

    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.

  • 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 reformatted?

    My computer has been having many issues since FiOS triple play was installed.  Also still have resolved IHA only showing internet and not TV and phone like it should.  So I was wondering what would happen if I reformatted my computer?  Would I lose anything?  Is there a file someone can direct me to incase I lose the driver to the router in process? 
    Also, another option is to uninstall everything verizon that is currently installed.  Thinking previous DSL information on my computer might be the culprit, but since I don't know what files belong to DSL and what files belongs to FiOS I figured I'd just remove everything verizon and start fresh.  
    What program/information does the Installation Tech use when installing FiOS in your home that's on that little white jump drive?

    I actually uninstalled/removed/deleted any and all reference to Verizon, IHA, and VZ in my computer files(that I could find and recognize as verizon files).  Then went to activate my FiOS.   Now, In Home Agent actually shows my TV and Phone as well as my internet(it would only show internet).  So I believe my guess was right that previous Verizon DSL files that remained on my computer were interfering with In Home Agent.    I'm pleased to have fixed the issue.    I have this "Resume FiOS activation" icon on my desktop that won't go away, no matter how many times I click it and apparently finish the activation.   And In Home Agent keeps asking me to update to the newer version.  I click yes, it reloads, asks again, click yes, reloads, asks again.   So I just click no.    Also In Home Agent keeps telling me that my password is incorrect.   I'll change it, the program will automatically insert the NEW password into the box, and it will say it's incorrect again.   Eish!  I want to bang my head against a wall right now! 
    Also, Verizon.com under my services still shows that my set top boxes are not activated,  and any widgets I try to apply don't show up on the TV.  As well as it only gives me the option of adding widgets to one STB, and not the other two.  As in, only one of my three STB's in the drop down box.  
    This all is prett silly as far as I'm concerned.   A lot of bugs and kinks in the system and no one at Verizon seems to know how to fix any of it.   I love the faster more reliable internet, more reliable TV, more phone features than I had for one price comparable to all three as separate services(Dish, DSL, Home phone).  But I am not in love with the technical problems for which there are no answers.  From anyone.    Thinking Verizon's going to have to up the ante to compensate for all the headaches that have been caused by technical problems.  Like a lower price.  I think I deserve a couple people's hourly wage for figuring out what 3 support techs couldn't. 

  • Leopard for G4 867mhz or above. What would happen on G4-400mhz?

    what would happen installing Leopard on less than a G4-867mhz?
    Would it work but be too slow for apple to be confortable supporting?
    Or do those machine lack hardware support?

    I'm not really a fan of old OS's, programs, or cobbled machines that I've built. They did the job, but I kept saving my money for better results.
    Most of the G4's, expecially the iMac's can not be upgraded with anything but ram. Your done. Some people are trying to get Leopard to run on 400 mhz G4 iMacs with their included video cards and chips on the motherboards. Now if you're talking about a tower like my Dual G4 1.42 Ghz then you're right, I've already added all of the hardware I wanted, including the ram, video, USB2, bluetooth and gigabit ethernet. But I started with a very capable machine that was worth upgrading. The limit here is the speed of the motherboard bus, and the slower G4's should be just put out as a Tiger game machines and save your upgrade money for a new iMac. I've moved the old machine into a back office to run Leopard server, and got the wind tunnel out of my workspace. When the ATI 9800 pro video card bit the dust because of a fan failure, I just put the original card back in and don't need the high end video on a headless server.
    The upgrades I did were to keep my production machine up to speed for a couple of extra years, but those years are long past, and my MBP and iMac's run rings around it for less money. Every Mac I ever bought before the Intel Mac's cost $3000 plus upgrades. These new $1100 to $1400 machines blow them away. I played with drop-in CPU's from Newer Technology in the past (they only cost 3 or 4 hundred), and they worked for a short time, but invariably I needed to run special patches from the vendor to be able to even install the later OS's.
    I'm not sure what you mean when you say you didn't touch the hardware at all. It seems like you changed everything that wasn't soldered to the motherboard (except the CPU and maybe ethernet). It sounds like you've been able to buy your way up to it's present level, piecemeal. OK. The fact that you got an older machine to run faster than it did has nothing to do with how fast or reliable a machine made in the last 3 or 4 years will run, natively, supported by Apple with all updates and drivers, video improvements, built-in camera's, etc. All of the improvements you made, and much more are already available with much higher performance on the new iMac's. There are so many people who believe that Leopard will speed up their computers just by installing the OS. They should have just stayed with Tiger and got Leopard with their new machine, just like the millions of Vista users who expected speed for nothing.
    WinXP will run on an early slow 486 processor. You'll save a lot of money if you do it. What's the point? I don't buy computers based on how little I have to spend to get work done (that's the PC mentality that drives me nuts as I wait for the machine and the hour glass to get back to me). I buy them based on how much work I can get done. When a program's developers decide not to upgrade or patch their program for the new OS or architecture I bid them a fond farewell and move to a company who makes products that perform well with my new machines. These machines and existing programs do not improve with age and developers who want to sit on their laurels and reap income from old work just seem to fade away. Adobe and MS are doing their best to write better code, as are thousands of independent programmers.
    It's time for Snow Leopard to re-establish MacOS as a performance OS Leopard is only marginally better than Tiger even on Intel CPU's due to being dumbed down and bloated with legacy code. Losing the PPC processor and compatibility code will improve MacOS measurably.
    Programs that won't run on SL, and machines that can't run it need to go away (make it into a fax server or contact management work station or something useful). As long as I can get to the machine on the network, it has value, just not for production.
    Sorry, just wrote another chapter

  • 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.

  • What would happen if application server needs to be restarted?

    I am talking about a scenario where application server hangs and needs to be restarted, because you couldnt do anything on it. What would happen to any insert, update of data taking place at that time. I guess it will all be rolled back if they are not committed and written on the data files. What would you do in this case before restarting , what would you check after restart of the system? Please share your experiences.

    Hi,
    >What would you do in this case before restarting , what would you check after restart of the system? Please share your experiences
    SAP has its recovery manager([click|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/a8910c3a-0d01-0010-a6a9-f4a8aae140fe] BR Tools) and every time you restart the server the system will be rolled back to the last safe point if there were any undone or not commited queries.
