"Find My iPhone" app says my iPhone 4 is "offline", I call it, it rings. How do I find my iPhone ?
My iPhone 4 was stolen today and I went to iCloud and logged in with my apple ID. I went to use "Find My iPhone", but it says my phone is "offline", that when it connects to a wi-fi that it'll notify me where the phone is. But I have a 3G network. If my 3G network won't do it, how will the phone ever connect to a wi-fi if it is locked? And, if I call it, it'll ring. I don't think the phone's battery died. I don't know what to do. Can someone help me ?
If it's lock, Wi-Fi is switched OFF. The ringing is that the line is trying to connect.
If it's stolen the chance of locating it is very, very small. You can try sending message or totally wipe it so no data can be stolen.
Now, report to the police, carrier and change all your passwords that are used on iPhone.

My friend has lost his iPhone 5.on find my iPhone when entered id and password app says id is valid but not activated. What should I do to find that lost iPhone
If Find My Phone has not been activated on the iPhone before being lost there is nothing more that you can do to locate it with iCloud. The only option is physical search for it.
If you have an idea of the location, call the iPhone and see if you can hear it ring. -

I have the photographer plan With Photoshop and Lightroom. Now suddenly The creative cloud app says that Lightroom isn´t installed. It is and how do i fix this. I don´t want to loose any pictures. Tried logging in and out. Also restarted my Imac with no luck.
This has nothing to do with your pictures. As long as LR works, nothing happens. The CC app merely has lost an entry in the installer database. Would a reinstall fix it? Sure. Is it necessary? Not really (until the next version or update). So unless you have too much time to spend or something isn't working, I'm sure you can find more interesting things to do with your tiem. Otherwise use the cleaner tool and get to it:

I am unable to access my iCloud e mail account and am still able to access AOL account though. It says something about an IMAP pathway and a port number how do I find this?
If the old ID is yours, and if your current ID was created by editing the details of this old ID (rather than being an entirely new ID), go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

I lost my redemption code to install Lion onto my new computer. Is there a way I could get it again? When I go to the "get the update" page, it says that my serial number already has a code. How do I find this code again?!
It is probably broken. You can try restoring it using Recovery Mode, but if that fails its time for a new phone. After all, it is 4 generations out of date. See: Recovery Mode

i want to change the country from USA to EGYPT in the itunes but i get a message saying, u have remaining balance which is 0.44 USD, how can i find some thing for 0.44 USD to spend this sum so i can switch my account to the right store??
Buy something for more than the balance and charge the remainder to a credit card, or write Apple and ask them to keep the balance.

I left my iPad on a plane - find iPhone app says offline
I left my iPad on a plane powered completely down. When I use the find iPhone app (which had always worked in the past) it lists the iPad, my iPhone, and my iPod. When I first open the app on my phone, it says my iPhone is "this device" and has a green dot. It says my iPod touch is "locating..." then eventually goes to "offline" (because I have it off). For the missing iPad, it never says "locating..." it only says "offline" immediately when I open the app. I had just updated to iOS 7.0.2. I have the four digit code on the iPad but is it possible that someone wiped it clean already and that's why is says offline without even trying to "locate" it?
Any help would be very appreciated.
I already filed a claim with the airport and the airline - I am just debating if I should erase it or wait and see if someone responds to my "lost mode" message and calls my cell.You don't sound stupid to me at all. Everybody has forgotten something of value or significance somewhere at some time or another. It is no fun at all when it is something of this value and your chances of getting it back are so slim.
I would really encourage you to use a passcode from the beginning with the next device though - it really is the only true security you have for your material on a mobile device. Anything you can do after the fact is never as good as having the device secured beforehand.
Also be sure to check with the airline in case you are lucky and it turns up in their lost and found (some airports and airlines actually have brick and mortar stores to sell all the stuff left behind and never claimed - there is a big one in Atlanta for example with everything from clothes to jewellery to golf clubs to cameras and laptops).
Also check your home owners or renters insurance policy to see if they cover such items while traveling (mine does, but the deductable is also $500 I think). -
