My Dad just bought a new MacBook Pro (2.4 Ghz Intel Core Duo) and it came with 10.4 installed, and a disc for 10.5.
The question is, if I do an archive and install of 10.5, what will happen to all the iLife applications? Will they be there in the new applications folder, or will we have to copy them over from the archived applications folder (in which case I don't know if they will function properly as is, or have to be reinstalled, or how to reinstall them without an iLife disc, etc. etc. etc.)
This is a perfect reason to make a bootable clone backup. You don't have to migrate from an archive
and you retain your original system in working order.
Leave nothing to chance and you cannot lose anything.

I want to stop erase mode, pls help me?

hello, i want to stop erase mode, pls help me?

Do you mean Erase Mode through Find my iPhone? If so, there is no way to stop it. When it is finished you will need to restore your device using your latest backup.

My Mac has recently been restored in an Apple Store. I'm wanting to backup my iPhone 4 so I can use that data on my new iPhone 5. Though as my apple ID and everything has been reset to Factory Settings, if I plug my iphone in, will it erase everything?

Okay, so I got Apple to restore my whole Mac operating system, and it obviously reset all my settings and computer to factory settings. As I now have an iPhone 5 and wanting to backup my iPhone 4, I can't do this as my Mac does not have any recorded backup's from before as they were deleted in the restoration. So i want to plug my iPhone 4 in to back it up. The main question is if I plug my iPhone 4 in, will it erase everything? and if so, how do i prevent this from happening as I have very important data on my iPhone 4 i can't lose.
Thanks
Georgia!

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Also
If you have Find My iPhone enabled, you can use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.

Depends on how you restore. if you perform a sync first, to create a current backup, you can then restore from that backup. If you restore as a new device, all data on your phone will be erased.

If you do a restore on the ipod, it only affects the ipod. Everything on the ipod is erased, but itunes and everything in itunes and on your computer will still be there.
The restore will only erase you ipod.

When restoring your ipod touch, will it erase everything on it?

hello everyone
I was wondering if restoring your ipod touch will erase everything on it because my computer does not seem to be recongizing my ipod nor is itunes. And I was afraid that if I restored my ipod that everything will be gone from it. The reason I am worried about this is that I have important notes that i have typed on it and a lot of aps that I do not want to put back on (too much work).

If you restore to original settings it will erase everything on your iPod Touch.
Check out some of the troubleshooting documents about the iPod not being recognized in Windows before restoring. See: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
If you must restore you can recover back to the last backup created when you last synced your iPod.

It's a fairly generic message. So probably the first thing to try would be to work through the "General Installation Troubleshooting" section from the following document:
Trouble installing iTunes or QuickTime software in Windows
... if you run into any problems withose procedures, describe the problems with them for us. (That may be able to give us an additional heads up on what's causing your current installation error message.)

Reset the device:
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
If nothiing above helped, restore the iPhone to factory settings > Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings
