What would happen if "roll numbers" were omitted in iPhoto files?

It seems that most of my "rolls" contain only 1 photo each, even when I scan several photos at a time. I don't quite understand the purpose for that category. It seems superfluous. This is my first question, so please don't yell at me.
Thanks,
Ol' John

Hi Larry, thanks for coming back.
+How many photos do yu have in your iPhoto library?+
I have 9328 photos in my iPhoto library. BUT this includes many duplicates, and those with the lowest memory will be deleted. As I progressed, I realized that some of my scanned photos would not show up well on a TV screen, so I re-scanned those. My earliest photos
are a few of my parents taken about 1913. The trouble is very few of my photos were dated when exposed, and I have been doing a lot of estimating--even those of my immediate family. Who'd of thought I would be building an album of this size 80 or 90 years into the future? (Forgive the gabby response to a simple question, or just don't read
past the first 4 words)
+Can you identify the photos you did this to?+
In 2009, 86 photos were removed from their film rolls. Of these, 34 were readable and showed up in iPhoto. They were emailed to me by my daughter and were imported successfully. The other 52, I scanned and they ended up in the photo library file, but
did not appear in iPhoto--these were the unreadable files.
+Can you identify the photos you did this to?+
Yes, just by looking at the originals in each year. I just made an estimate of the images not in film rolls. The following are the approximate number of photos removed from film rolls: yr. 2009=52, 2008=2 or 3, 2007=48, 2006=3450, 2005=similar to 06, 2004 =0, 2003=60, 2002 = about 10. These are in the iPhoto library and show up in iPhoto, except the 52 (above) that were unreadable. I didn't realize how many film rolls I deleted. Do you
still think I'm salvageable? I'm afraid you're going to tell me to start an new application. Would that mean I'd lose all my photo dates? I feel very guilty, making such a mess of my
Photo collection. Thanks again for your help. I hope I live long enough to overcome my errors. I'll be more prompt if you need more information--which will make you cringe.
(not my promptness, but if I don't provide enough information)
Sincerely, Ol' John

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.

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.

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

It would fail to restart.

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.

Mailbox has "archive" with thousands of emails in it, probably every email I've sent. What would happen if I deleted them?

My Mail has a mailbox labelled "Archive." There are literally thousands of email
in it, probably a copy of every email for many years. What would happen if I
deleted these?

If it is a Gmail account, that is normal. How do you expect Google to exploit your privacy if they let you just delete your emails willy nilly?
GGmail isn't a normal IMAP server. It's not really an IMAP server at all; it just pretends to be one.
Instead of organizing messages into folders, it tags messages with "Labels." A message can have multiple Labels. By default, a new message comes with an "Inbox" Label and an "All Mail" Label. When you "delete" an email from GMail, it merely removes the "Inbox" label, but keeps the "All Mail" label.
When Apple revamped Mail, it made it more capable of working with GMail. One of those things was to map the "All Mail" label to the Archive folder in Mail. Now you can see how Google has kept all of the email you thought you were deleting.
Take a look at this article and the follow up article it links to: http://jeffschuette.com/2012/03/07/setting-up-apple-mail-to-rock-and-roll-with-g mail/
I used it to set up Mail and GMail so that when I delete an email in Mail, it also deletes it from the GMail server.
Most ost of the firat article is no longer needed, except the step to force deletion of emails.

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.

What would happen if you connected audio out to audio in?

the audio in/out ports on the back -- what would happen if you connected them? if i were, say, playing a youtube video and had an audio editing app open, would it record the audio? (yes, i'm aware that there are better ways to capture said audio but i'm just wondering if this is what would happen.) or would the computer explode?
Message was edited by: MontereyMatt

There should not be any problem with doing that. The audio output is just regular output, so it would be the same as plugging in an iPod to the audio input.
But as you said, there are better ways to record the audio the iMac is currently playing.

HT4314 After updating my OS, I couldn't get onto my gamecenter account. I created a new nickname to see what would happen. Now I can only access my new nickname, but not my old one that has all my scores. My friends can still see my old nickname.

After updating my OS, I couldn't get onto my gamecenter account. I created a new nickname to see what would happen. Now I can only access my new nickname, but not my old one. However, my old account has all my scores! I want to delete the new nickname and re-access my old (i.e., original) nickname. Interestingly, my friends can still see my old nickname.
Any suggestions would be VERY appreciated! Thanks.

This was EXACTLY what I needed about the purchases I made from my device. However, is there a way to re-download other ones you've made from a computer? Because I realized some of them were not just purchased from my device.
This is a picture of what it looks like now:

any way to get around that?

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

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 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 would happen if "roll numbers" were omitted in iPhoto files?
