Error trying to set up the "find my iPad2" feature

I am following the instruction for setting up the "free find my iPad2" feature. When I get to the point of enabling Mobile Me, it is asking for my Apple ID. Well that is fine, I enter my AID and password, but am then told it will only accept AIDs that are in the form of email addresses. Mine isn't.
Going to account management, I attempt to change my AID to my email address, but that is rejected because there is already an email associated with my AID (of course).
Setting up a new AID using my email is impossible, because my current email is being used (and I can't change that).
Anyone have any advice for how to get out of this catch 22?

Did check those setting, they are on. I got it fixed eventually after completly reseting the handset and settings

Can we stop the use of the "Find My Phone" feature on a company issued phone

How can a company stop an end user from setting up the "Find My Phone" feature on their personal iCloud account with a company issued iPhone?

How about this, can multiple iPhones be set up on one iCloud account?
Yes.
But then all iPhone have access to the same contacts, calendars, notes, (everything in Settings > iCloud).
You could create an AppleID using your company email for each iPhone. IT dept. enables FindMyiPhone & keeps the password. Employee doesn't get iCloud password (so he cannot disable FindMyiPhone).
Such as [email protected]
You can turn off (or not) all other iCloud options and the user can add their own iCloud account (Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars - New account), for mail, contacts, calendars, notes.

I am trying to set up the ipod to my email account and it keeps saying it won't work, even though we have confirmed user name and password. Any advice?

i am trying to set up the ipod to my email account and it keeps saying it won't work, even though we have confirmed user name and password. Any advice?

Try deleting the account from the iPod and try reentring all the information again. A lot of times it is easier to reenter the information rather than trying to find and correct the error.
Try Googling for how to setup the email account for your provider on an iPhone. You can try for an iPod Touch but frequently that does not exist.

Account ID ( email) not known when trying to set back the password

I issued and installed an Adobe DRM Account long time ago, but I didn't use it up to now. Unfortunately I didn't notice the password. Therefore I tried to set back the password now. However then I will be informed that email is not valid. When I have a look into the Adobe Digital Edition Software on my PC , there is mentionned this email however as standard. Now I have an ebook reader and want to test the DRM Functions. As long as I have not the valid password, I cannot read any book. Now I issued a new account with a second EMail Adress, but how can I change this account on my PC ? I don't find any possibility to delete the old email address and to insert the new one ?

Enter ctrl-shift-D (cmd-shift-D on Mac) to Digital Editions software to deregister the old account. (It wouldn't be within the spirit of ADE's terrible user interface to make this easily discoverable.)
Restart ADE, and you will be able to enter your new account details.
If you have any devices registered with your old ID, ctrl-shift-E to Digital Editions while the device is connected will remove the old registration from the device.
Remember if you have any DRM books registered with your old account, you can't read them with the new one.
It doesn't sound as if you have either of those issues; more in case anyone else picks up this thread.

I am trying to set up the podcast capture but i don't know what a host name or an IP addess is

Could you tell me what a host name or an IP address is and how to find these as i am trying to set up the podcast capture?

I would recommend carefully reading Pondini's guide on using Migration Assitant, if you still have trouble you have 90 days of free telephone support from Apple via AppleCare. While they are more versed in OS X than MS Windows they may be able to help you. Pondini's guide is found by clicking Lion or Mountain Lion Setup Assistant tips

Hi. I'm trying to set-up the wireless access times in my Airport Utility. I need to enter the "Description" and the "MAC Address" of each wireless client before I assign access times. What are these? Thanks.

Hi. I'm trying to set-up the wireless access times in my Airport Utility. I need to enter the "Description" and the "MAC Address" of each wireless client before I assign access times. What are these? Thanks.

Let's say that an iPhone is one of the wireless clients that you want to allow access to the network.
The Description of this device is anything that you want to specify for easy identification purposes. For example, the Description might be something like......
Rex's iPhone
The MAC Address, also known as a Wi-Fi Address is a unique indentifiction number that is assigned to every device. The number will always follow this form:
xx : xx : xx : xx : xx : xx, where "x" could be a number or letter.
To find the MAC Address or Wi-Fi Address of an iPhone or iPad.....
On the Home screen.....
Tap Settings
Tap General
Tap About
Wi-Fi Address is the item that you want
If you have a Mac computer......you can find the MAC Address or Wi-Fi Address as follows:
Open System Preferences (gear icon on the dock)
Open Network
Click on Wi-Fi on the left
Click Advanced at the lower right
The Wi-Fi Address for the Mac is located at the bottom of the window
Other wireless devices usually have the MAC Address or Wi-Fi Address on the label on the back or bottom of the device

Icloud encountered an error trying to connect to the server.

When I try to sign in to my iCloud through iCloud.com I get this error: "icloud encountered an error trying to connect to the server.". However, at the same time I can login with my different Apple IDs. It seems to me the problem is with this account. For sure I have already verified my account and I enter the correct password
For further info, My iMac also cannot sync anything with the cloud. Meaning that, Also Im not able to manage my iCloud in system preference neither.
Does anyone have any idea?! Could you please help me out if you know whats wrong?

If it only does it at work, then the most likely reason is that your work network is blocking it, or one of the servers iCloud connects to.
Have you asked the IT people at work? Checked it on another computer at work?

TS4006 I lost my iPad. I located it using the Find My iPad feature. I got an e-mail from Apply stating it had been found. What does this mean? Does this mean someone used it, tried to use it or what?

I lost my iPad. I located it using the Find My iPad feature. I got an e-mail from Apply stating it had been found. What does this mean? Does this mean someone used it, tried to use it or what?

When you say an email from Apply, do you mean that the sender is named "Apply"? If so, what is their full email address (e.g. [email protected])?

Can someone explain what is the benefit of the Find My iPhone feature?

I've upgraded my iPhone 4 to the next OS and it comes with the Find My iPhone feature. It took me a while to set it up, but it's OK, especially when it's free for those lucky iPhone 4 users. But now the question I have, what is the benefit of this feature? (Well besides spying on your girlfriend or wife) I mean, if someone steals my iPhone all they need to do is to delete the mobile me account, or better, turn this feature off. It's not even password protected. Maybe I'm just not getting something???

Obviously once my phone is lost I'm going to change my password on my emails right away and call AT&T to freeze my account.
You are assuming that you will know your phone is lost or stolen the instant it happens. Don't be so naive. Unless your iPhone is glued to your forehead it could be hours or maybe the next morning before you realize it's gone.
This is not where you should store that stuff.
Who are you to say what people should or shouldn't store on their smartphone? Above you admit you're not even aware of Apps that can store data (credit cards for instance) as securely as the banks and websites you use them at.
Apple's approach to encryption is mostly based on "security by obscurity", or, "our operating systems don't get hacked often... and thus we're safe." But this is VERY wrong!
Actually, you're wrong and clearly know very little about security PERIOD. Anyone who doesn't use even the basic security built-in to any device simply because it is an "inconvenience" almost deserves to have their identity stolen.
Educate yourself a little on some of Apple's iPhone security measures by reading: http://images.apple.com/iphone/business/docs/iPhone_Security.pdf
No device is immune to the most determined hackers but to say Apple's approach is mostly "security by obscurity" just highlights how little you know about such things.

TS4006 "Is the Find my Mac feature available for an OSX 10.7.4 MacBook?"

Is the Find My Mac feature available for an OSX 10.7.4 MacBook?

Here's the troubleshooting section you referred me to, and the response;
The date on your device is incorrect. This can be set in Settings > General > Date & Time.
I have verified the time and date
Your device is not up to date. It needs to have iOS 5 or later.
It's a MacBook using OSX 10.7.4
Your iCloud account is not configured on your device. Enter your iCloud account information in Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
When I try to do this, I get into the loop that I will try to describe more completely below:
1. In System Preferences, I select iCloud, where I have only one option - "Move to iCloud" I click on that sole option.
2. I'm taken to www.me.com/find page, where I Log In using my Apple ID and then I see a very large statement, "To use Find My iPhone, go to iCloud.com." - with only one button available - "Open iCloud.com" - I click on that sole option.
3. I'm asked to enter my user name and password again, which I do
4. The page that occurs next is a secure iCloud site - https//:www.icloud.com/#find
5. My iPhone and iMac are listed under "My Devices," but not the MacBook.
I can see no opportunity to enable "Find my Mac" the MacBook, because Preferences/iCloud leads me back into the loop described above.
You have multiple iCloud accounts entered on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. Only one account can have Find My iPhone turned on at a given time. Log in to Find My iPhone with your other iCloud accounts until your device is listed.
I have viewed my Apple ID account and can find no sign of multiple iCloud accounts.
You have already initiated a wipe of the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. The device will not appear on the page until it is reconfigured with your iCloud account information.
I have not "wiped: the MacBook, and don't see how this could be the problem.
There is scheduled maintenance or another issue affecting Find My iPhone. Check iCloud Support to see if this is the case.
iCloud support indicates that the system is operating fully.
Your device has lost network connectivity. If you have access to your device and it appears to have an active Internet connection, enable and then disable Airplane mode. If you continue to have issues, turn the device off and back on.
It's a MacBook with a good WiFi connection to a known system. There is no Airplane mode on the MacBook.
Find My Mac can only locate your Mac if it is connected to an internet via a known Wi-Fi network. If your Mac is connected to the internet only by an ethernet cable, Find My Mac will not be able to locate your Mac.
Again, it is connected to a known WiFi system - my house. It's the same system that my iMac is connected to, and the iMac appears as a listed Device in iCloud "Find My Phone"
To be sure, I ran Disk First Aid and restarted my MacBook, and also ran Repair Disk Permissions twice.
Same symptoms have not been resolved.

Why I cannot check the "find my mac" features on the iCloud? It says that "recovery system update required".. I'm using 10.7.2 now..

Why I cannot use the "find my mac" features on the iCloud? It says that "recovery system update required".. I'm using 10.7.2 now..

Run Disk Utility, and Verify Disk.
You will likely notice errors that require you to reboot to the Recovery Partition, and run Disk Utility from there, to "Repair Disk".
After running Repair Disk, reboot to the main partition, and run Repair Permissions from Disk Utility.
Then install the Recovery System Update again.
I bet your problem will be solved.
