Does the FoneHome app require WiFi on the lost device?

My iPod touch was recently stolen, and I was able to find its serial number. I now know that Apple can't help me track it down, but I saw an app called FoneHome that might help me - I could install it on the iPad to find the iPod. However, I don't know if the app requires WiFi to track it down (it probably does but I've decided to check anyway), because wherever the iPod is right now it's not connected to the internet. Also, does the iPod need to have the FoneHome app as well to be able to track it down?

The application is called Find My iPhone.  The iPod needs to have the free (for 4G iPods) version of MobileMe turned on on the iPod in advance of loss in order for it to work.  But in any case, you are correct that the iPod needs to be connected to a wi-fi source in order for it to be tracked, so it would not have been useful in your case even if you had turned on MobileMe.

    In one of the upper corners - I forgot if it's left or right.
    You can make it appear in the sidebar as it did in older versions of iTunes if you like.  Just go to iTunes' menu and do View > Show Sidebar

  • Remote wipe - does it synchronise the wipe beyond just the lost device?

    Hi...A coleague has just lost is iPhone. He has asked me if Remote Wipe only wipes exclusively on the lost device or does it "synchronise" the wipe, so that everything is also wiped on all other iCloud-linked devices?

    Hi,
    Remote Wiped is supported by MDM, Mobile device management.
    With Afaria you can control the device from single server and perform features like:
    Remote wipe
    Remote lock
    Remote unlock
    Thanks

  • Can someone verify the following regarding Find My Phone:  I assume the lost device (iPhone) and the device (ipad) one is using to find the lost item must have the identical Apple ID, Apple PW, and iCloud PW and username? Otherwise it won't work?

    Can someone verify the following regarding Find My Phone:
      I assume the lost device (iPhone) and the device (ipad) one uses to find the lost item must have identical Apple IDs , PWs as well as identical iCloud identification?

    Back now.  Are you saying that you entered you iCloud ID and password in the Find My iPhone app (see photo below), and it said you don't have an iCloud account?  Are you sure this is the ID for your iCloud account (check Settings>iCloud next to Account at the top on the device you are trying to track)?
    Also, did you try using this ID and password on icloud.com on your computer to try to track it, as explained here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmfc0f2442?  Did that work?

  • I was downloading GBA4iOS games off a website. Messages now pop up saying that the internet server cant be connected to. None of my apps requiring wifi work, regardless whether wifi is on or not. Whats wrong?

    The sites used were coolrom.***, doperoms.***, and some others i cant remember. My security software just labeled the sites as questionable, so Im worried that I contracted a virus. Is there anything I can do to reverse this??
    <Links Edited By Host>

    I figured out what was wrong. The app requires you to set the date back to 2012, so when I set it back to today, everything began to work.
    A big relief, but I would advise all to not use this app (GBA4iOS) because it could potentially harm your phone.

  • On my MacBook Pro with Retina Display, Why does the "USB Devices Disabled Unplug the device using too much power to re-enable USB devices" keep coming up after I unplugged the usb device?

    On my MacBook Pro with Retina Display 15", that I purchased a few weeks ago, started coming up with the following message on my desktop:
    "USB Devices Disabled Unplug the device using too much power to re-enable USB devices".
    I unplugged the device and the message still keeps coming up.
    This is what I have done so far to troubleshoot:
    I shut down the laptop. When booting up I pressed the command+option+p+r at the same time. It comes up with a menu to reinstall OSX, Get help online, Run Disk Utility, etc. I choose the disk utility and repair the disk and then restarted.
    The message keeps popping up and I can't seem to get rid of it. Why does the message keep popping up even though I don't have any devices hooked up to the laptop at all? Any help to reenable my usb ports and get rid of the messaage would be helpful.

    I talked to Apple Support and we at least stopped the bleeding, a little bit. These are the troubleshooting steps I did before I contacted Apple Support:
    1. Reinstalled OSX
    2. Restore the last known good Time Machine Backup.
    This did not fix my issue, so I called Apple Support and they told me this:
    1. Turn Power off.
    2. Wait 15 seconds.
    3. Plug in Magsafe adapter.
    4. Wait 15 seconds.
    5. Hold down the Shift+Option+Power Button for 20-30 seconds.
    6. Turn Power back on.
    Ok, this stopped the bleeding a little, but as soon as I plugged in a Apple USB Superdrive
    and a Apple Mini Displayport to VGA Adapter. This "USB Devices Disabled" pop-up pops up like every 30 minutes now. At least, it is not constantly popping up after I close it, so I guess it will do for the temporary. Going to contact Apple support, later, though to see what else can be done.

  • Does "exe" or "app" require an FL installed player?

    Hi -
    I have a Flash project (CS3/AS2) burned onto a DVD (as data).  I published an EXE for Windows and APP for Mac (formerly called Projector).
    The questions are -
    In order to play the EXE - does a version of Flash player need to be installed on the PC?
    In order to play the APP - does a version of Flash player need to be installed on the Mac?
    If a Flash player required - how do I include it on the DVD for the convenience of my users?
    Simple questions for those in the know.  TIA your replies.
    JL

    Once it's inside .exe u need nothing else to run it off dvd.

  • TS4006 Can you localize a lost iPhone if the "Find my iPhone" app is not installed ? on the lost device?

  • TS4006 I have 5 devices on my icloud.  The one that is lost is not showing up as a device on the Where's my iphone.  Is there any way to locate the lost device?

    I am currently looking for my daughters lost ipod.  All the devices are showing up on locate my iphone map except her ipod that is lost.  Is there any way I can try to locate it.  Why wouldn't it be showing up with the rest?

    The iPod has to be powered on, and it has to have a live wifi connection.  If it is not showing up it may be powered off, the battery may have died, it may be in sleep mode (the wifi radio is off in sleep mode when running on the battery), or it may not be in range of any known wifi networks.
    Also, since the tracking feature is a function of iCloud account credentials, if the device has been reset as new, then your daughters iCloud account and its settings will have been erased.  In that case, the device will never show up again.
    If the device did not have a passcode lock and/or account restrictions enabled on it, then anyone finding it could also go into the iCloud account settings and disable the "find my iPod" setting.

  • Just lately, my iPod has been saying that it's connected to wifi, but when I try to use the wifi and use an app that requires wifi, it keeps saying things like 'Cannot connect to server' when it clearly is 'connected'. What's wrong with my iPod?

    Also, when I tried to connect my iPod to my MacBook Pro, and sync it into iTunes, 'iTunes could not connect to this iPhone.' First it's not an iPhone, and second, my iPod could sync perfectly fine before the wifi problem. Is there a way to return it back to normal; fix it? Someone please answer.

  • Wanted to install the blackberry device on my mac??

    Hey there!
    Does the blackberry device cdrom (blackberry user tools?) work with macs? Because it shows up but when I try to launch it nothing shows up.

    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    BlackBerry device CD that comes with your BB does not work on MAC. You need to download a program called PocketMac 4.1 from BlackBerry.com.
    With the MAC program, you can sync calender, contacts, task, notes from your email client, load applications.
    But features that comes with Desktop Manager (in the CD) like BackUp/Restore, Media Manager and email settings not available on PocketMac.
    If I've been helpful please consider giving me kudos. Please remember to resolve your thread .

    You did not configure PBR on the CSS since it does not have this function.
    You simply configured static routing.
    As so, the CSS will route between the vlans.
    If you want a firewall to protect every vlan from the other ones, you should have a one-armed design where the firewall does the routing between the vlans and the CSS is doing the loadbalancing.
    ie:
    ........vlan1
    ..........|
    .vlan2 ---FW----- CSS
    ..........|
    ........Vlan2
    You'll need to do client nat on the css or implement some form of PBR on the firewall.
    PBR means routing based on another factore than the destination ip address. In this case, it is necessary to route based on the source port.
    That might be too complex, so an easier choice would be
    ..vlan1(ext).....vlan2(ext)
    ....|...............|
    ....+-------FW------+
    .............|
    ..........+-CSS-+
    ..........|.....|
    ........vlan3 vlan4
    there is no protection between internal vlan but you don't need policy routing or client nat.
