Erase data feature of the iphone - failed 10 attempts....

I like this feature and it gives me some level of security that I didn't have before.
However, I would prefer that it asked me for my passcode when I try to turn it off.
If my phone is compromised whilst the lock is not in effect the first thing a thief has to do is simply switch off the erase data feature. So I'm required to enter my passcode to turn the passcode off so I'd rather I also be required to enter my passcode when I try to switch off the erase data feature.

That could be something you suggest to Apple and that is done on the feedback page. Here is the link if you like.

Not a bad suggestion in my book.

  • Can't access my iphone 5s after erase data by 'find my iphone'

    I had an iphone 5s and forgot my passcode. I read in apple support that I can erase data by 'Find my iphone' app inside icloud using computer. I did erase the data. However, my phone couldn't start normally. It's been loading for at least 7 hours.
    Please tell me how to fix it!

    The data that is present on the phone at the time of the reset will not be lost. However, if you already wiped it, then there's no data on the phone to begin with, so it will be fine. If the wipe did not go through and your passcode is still on the phone, then you can try it again after the reset.

  • There was an error while writing data back to the server: Failed to commit objects to server : Duplicate object name in the same folder.

    I am working in a new enviorment and i am trying to save a report to the Crystal Server via the CMC. I am uploading the report from the objects tab and attempting to save to a folder. The report has 1 static defined parameter and that's it. When i click submit to save the report i receive the following error message: "There was an error while writing data back to the server: Failed to commit objects to server : Duplicate object name in the same folder." There is not a anothe report within the folder with that name. What could be causing this error message and equally important, what is the solution.

    hte message you received about duplicate user probably means something hadn't fully updated yet. Once it did then it worked...

  • Using the personal hotspot feature on the iPhone 5, I am able to connect to the internet.  We also use Juniper NCP client to access our system remote.  A VPN connection is created, but I am unable to access servers on our network.  This works on iPhone 4.

    Using the personal hotspot feature on the iPhone 5, I am able to connect to the internet.  We also use Juniper NCP client to access our local system from a remote location.  A VPN connection is created, but I am unable to access servers in our network.  This same functionality works using my colleagues iPhone 4.
    Both phones are running iOS 6.1.3.  I tried to reset network settings, but still unable to ping servers in our network.  This is a feature that our sales team relies heavily on when out of the office.  Hoping someone has some suggestions on what is different between the 2 phones.

    Hi,
    Generally, this issue should be related with something called split tunneling, since you’re using a F5 vpn client, you need to look for something related to split tunneling in the F5 VPN client's documentations.
    Here is an example, share it with you as a reference.

  • Using Itunes, I copied all my apps from my Ipod touch to a new Iphone 4. Problem is all the apps on the Iphone are starting up like a new install. I would think my "password" app and "lose it" app would have the past data transferred to the Iphone.

  • Why has the iPad not got some features that the iPhone has?

    The title tells a lot.
    Some things I think are missing, as you can get told the weather, but there is no weather icon. Same for stocks, and why can't the iPad have a voice memo or compass app?
    It seems surprising that for something bigger than the iPhone hasn't got equal features, but has less?
    Anyone know?

    They are meant to be two seperate products. The iPad has features that the iPhone does not.

  • Should I buy the iphone 4s or Buy the iphone 5 they have the same features basically the iphone 4s just cost less

    They will have the same features once the iphone 5 comes out they will both have ios 6 , passbook, panerama mode, ect. The iphone 4s just cost less. im not worried so much about the screen size i just want to know some opinions. And what color is good for a guy to get?

    That is your decision.
    The 5 has a faster processor, more RAM, and a larger screen.  The biggest difference is LTE.
    Buy whatever fits your budget and needs.
    Personally I just got a 32GB 4S on closeout from AT&T for $199... to me it was worth saving $100 over a similar iPhone 5.
    Color is your choice, again my personal opinion is white electronics are hideous.  Many will disagree with me on that, but I cannot help that they have bad tastes.

    Sounds like your phone was hacked to use with your carrier.  Updating it has relocked the phone to it's original carrier.  You will not get the phone working again without a SIM from the original carrier.

    It sounds a lot like your phone was hacked or jailbroken to unlock it prior to your trying to update it.
    If that is the case, it is nowpermanently bricked.

    The iPhone 3G is Not Compatible with iOS 6...
    It also appears that your phone may have been Hacked and / or Jailbroken...

    "No SIM card installed in the iPhone you are attempting to activate" after updating to iOS 5.

    Its an IMEI issue.  In my case, about a year ago, after originally purchasing my iP4 from AT&T store, I had a prox. sensor issue.  Went to the Apple Store, they replaced the phone.  Here is where it all stems from.  The IMEI of the new phone was never updated in AT&T/Carriers systems.  For iOS updates prior to iOS5, this was not an issue.  My phone did its iOS updates along the way with no probs.  However, when I updated to iOS5, the firmware did not match the IMEI with what AT&T/carrier had.  When I went to Apple Store for the issue about 3 days ago and was given a new phone....again....the new phones IMEI was never updated with AT&T/carrier.  I then again attempted the upgrade to iOS5 with the new phone and iOS5 bricked that one also.  Today, at the store, we tried 3 replacements with same outcome.
    So, after 4 hours and 3 replacement phones with Apple Store Tech (BTW totally gobsmacked), we solved the issue.  Luckily, due to iPhone 4S launch, there was an AT&T guy there with a computer tied to the AT&T network to work along with us.  The issue is......once the IMEI's on carrier account and phone do not match, iOS5 shuts down the sim card reader within phone.....forever. How to reverse this?......this is a question Apple needs to come up with, because with my case, they have 5 "bricked" phones. 
    What solved the issue was to get a new phone with iOS4.3.5, new SIM from carrier/AT&T, have carrier/AT&T (in their system) change/match the IMEI to the new phone and activate new SIM.  Then, do iOS5 upgrade. 
    Simple and makes total sense..........however........there is an internal firmware (Apple Security??) issue that bricks the phone once IMEI's dont match. 
    I am now on iOS5.....no problems......so far.  Good luck to all others.

    trying to active my old iPhone 3gs. it showing that activation server is temporary unavailable and on the iTunes showing that there is no sim card installed in the iPhone you are attempting to activate. I unlocked my phone then i upgrade it, after that this happen. i tried with other sim same message come again and again.if any body know solution let me know. thanks

    Was the SIM card activated on another phone? I assume this is an ATT style trying to use on T-Mobile? Was the SIM installed correctly? Is the carrier (like T-Mobile) operating IOS 6 devices yet?
    If the SIM is a valid SIM from say T-Mobile, you may want to contact them for assistance activating the SIM card.
    Activation and SIM issues typically point to the carrier. And if this was a CDMA phone say working with verizon, it will NOT work for ATT or T-Mobile as they use different electronics on the 3GS. The SIM slot is for international use only.
