Can Apple make an app or an update that makes you insert your password to turn your phone off? This can help deal with theft of iPhones because people take or find a iPhone, the first thing they do is turn the phone off.

They probably can do such s thing if they choose to do so.
Let them know that you would like this:

Not sure this is a very useful thing. It would run down the battery. All a thief has to do is remove them SIM and restore the iphone to stop it from being tracked.

You should only use Apple Approved Chargers.

No, sorry... did not happen becasue no such model exists.
If the device is in recovery mode, any data on it is already lost.
The only options are:
Restore the device to get it functional.
Enjoy the paper weight.
For what reason did you attempt to update the device without first ensuring that your data was safe, meaning backing up the device and copying important pictures/videos taken with the device to a computer?

These are user-to-user forums, I've asked the hosts to remove your email address from your post.
Apple and/or iTunes support can't locate it for you, only you can potentially locate it via http://icloud.com on a computer or Find My iPhone / Find My iPad on another device - but that will only work if it's connected to a network and the device hasn't already been wiped and/or Find My iPhone disabled on it.
If it was stolen then you should report it to the police. You should also change your iTunes account password, your email account passwords, and any passwords that you'd stored on websites/emails/notes etc.

Scroll down and see the "Update Your Device Using iTunes" section here:

There is no "update icon" in iOS versions earlier than iOS 5.
The update is very large (over 1.2 gigabytes). You need a good internet connection to download it to your computer. Maybe you'll need to take a trip to a city to get a good enough connection.

I have this same problem on my iMac since installing Mavericks. The emails download, I can see who they are from and when they came, but nothing shows up in the message pane. I can see emails I got before I installed Mavericks, although about half of them did disappear. Sure would like to find a fix--perhaps the 10.9.1 update will do it?

I can't purchase anything on my iphone without first entering my two security questions.

I can't purchase anything on my iphone without first entering my two security questions. I enter them correctly but t still laims they are wrong. How do I change my questions or at least get past this issue?

Click here for information. If you can't reset them through the method described in that article or by sending yourself a rescue email(the email may take a few hours to arrive), contact the iTunes Store staff via the link in the 'Additional Information' section.
It isn't possible to create a rescue email address without correctly answering two of the questions. Nobody on these boards can reset them for you.

I'm assuming you have Photo Stream set up of both devices. However, it seems many users are experiencing the same as you - my take is that streaming photos is not foolproof yet.

If you have the iPhone 4s and you buy the iwork...later when you change your phone to iPhone 5 with the same app name and code the iwork still free to download into your new phone???

if you have the 4s and you buy the iwork...later when you change your phone to 5 with the same app name and code the iwork still free to download into your new phone???

Yes as long as you use the same Apple ID for iTunes that you used to download the app originally.
Hope that helps

When trying to use find my Iphone says off line , suggestion is to switch on and off airplane mode , so are you saying when you have your phone nicked you should leave a note for the thief to do this so we can trace him?
