Got back my stolen iPad. Somehow they were able to use it even it was in lost mode.

Hi. Three days ago my iPad 2 got stolen from my car. Next night, I got an e mail from Find My iPhone, telling me the address my iPad being kept. It was in lock mode and it played a sound. I had the security cams and caught the *******, got my iPad back. When I got my iPad there was a screen telling me that the device is in lock mode and asked for the key to unlock. I unlocked it with my usual 4 digit password thinking all my data was saved. No. Everything was gone, but my Apple ID was in the settings section, iCloud etc. Furthermore, when I opened safari, some pages came up which I have never visited (he was looking for a car to buy I guess) so now I'm having trouble understanding what happened.
If you need any further info please let me know.

If you had a passcode on the phone when turning on Lost Mode, lost mode is supposed to use that passcode to lock the phone. When found, entering the passcode should unlock the phone. I'm assuming that's what you're trying to do, correct? However, if the phone is now saying it is "Disabled"...after too many wrong passcode attempts, then you have no choice but to restore the phone. Once disabled, you won't get another attempt to enter the passcode.

My friend just got back her stolen ipad...she says that she purchased all of her music and apps through the apple store. Will she be able to get back any of the content she has paid for?

If for some reason she has failed to maintain a backup copy, not good, then she can redownload some purchases in some countries:

Two Macbook pros circa 2009 in our temporary household in Turkey suddenly failed to boot and got stuck on the grey screen. They were able to boot at the Apple store, but not when we brought them back to our apartment. Could this be a coincidence? A

THank you Ogelthorpe. When my wife's computer I went on line to the site that you sent and tried everything But nothing worked. When my son came to visit and his MacBook Pro did exactly the same thing we became suspicious - too much of a coincidence. We took both computers somewhere else, out of our apartment, and they both booted. We ran disk utility on both, but the report in both cases was that there are no issues with the hard drive. Back in our apartment neither will boot up. My MacBook Pro is a later model with a solid state drive and it seems to work fine here.. I tried an external drive and it works fine. We think that this has something to do with some kind of magnetic interference in our apartment to which the 2009 drives are susceptible. It is indeed a mystery!

I have a problem with a few emails i wrote which were in the outbox. The outbox disappeared all of a sudden with my mails... However they were not sent since the email address was not correct (just 3 initials). Is there a way to get it back somewhere?

I was waiting to find out the correct email address of that person, put in in and then sen it...Is there a way to get it back somewhere on the ipad or in some cached folder?
Many thanks for an answe to this.

There is no cache where the emails would be stored on the iPad, but you could try quitting the mail app and then launch it again and see if the emails return.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Tap the home button. Then try mail again.

I deleted all Apps on iPad as they were associated with an out of date Apple ID and I could not update them, but the "App Store" logo still shows that there are 2 to be updated and when I go there I cannot delete. Please assist. Thanks.

Why don't you explain what happens when you try to delete these two apps that are showing that they need updates. You can only delete them if they are actually installEd on the iPad. Are they on the device?

Got a call from someone saying they were from Microsoft but it seemed fishy

Today I got a call from someone with a strong Indian accent claiming they were from microsoft and that my computer was in critical condition. I can't recall microsoft ever calling people personally about this so it automatically seemed like a scam. I told
him I didn't believe it fairly quickly and hung up. So I wanted to know in case there really is something wrong, do microsoft people ever call customers to tell them of errors? Is this just a scam and in which case is there a way for me to report these people?

Its a scam. A well known and long running one. Microsoft will never ask for personal details (they already have them) and
will never cold call you. Nor do they send out anti virus messages
Microsoft does not do that nor do they have partners who do that
See the following for additional information about this and what to do and how Microsoft operates:

If you think you might be a victim of fraud, you can report it.

I have 2 Company ipads. They were set up by someone who has left the company. His email address was deleted when he left - so we cannot send a recovery email request. He connected both iPads to 'find my iphone' - and we cant locate his mobile! help!

If you have the original receipts, you can take them to an Apple Store and they may be able to remove the activation lock. A good lesson learned to have an employee clear a device when leaving.

HT4597 Someone reset my iPhone and it was not me is there a way to find out how they were able to access my info?

Someone reset my iPhone and it was not me is there a way to find out how they were able to access my info?

There are two ways to reset an iPhone, 1) the user actually using the iphone can perform a reset from Settings, and 2) a user to knows the iphone's iCloud ID and password and do a remote reset.
I'm assuming you didn't personally reset it while on the iPhone, so my question is ... does anyone else know your iCloud ID and password? Have you set up multiple devices (perhaps belonging to other members of your family - something you generally shouldn't do, if you don't want to sync the same data to all devices in the family) and used the same iCloud ID on all of them? Perhaps a family member or a "friend" of a member used Find My iPhone to locate yours and remote wiped it.

If I got an unlocked iPhone 4s would I be able to use a 3G network? Like so when there is no wifi network can I use a 3G network if I got an unlocked iPhone? Or do you have to have a locked iPhone to do this?

if I got an unlocked iPhone 4s would I be able to use a 3G network? Like so when there is no wifi network can I use a 3G network to go on the internet when i am out if I got an unlocked iPhone? Or do you have to have a locked iPhone to do this?

If I am reading your question correctly, yes if there is no wifi
you can use 3G IF you have a contract with a wireless provider
and the appropriate SIM card if required. Being unlocked does not
give you access to 3G for free; you still have to pay for it. Same
for locked iPhone. Difference is that you would have to get contract
with whatever provider the iPhone is locked to if you have locked
iPhone; if iPhone is unlocked, you will have to make a choice from
your local providers.
If this does not answer your questions, please post back with more
details and someone will answer you.

I need to set up Firefox on my IPad 2 to be able to use my MLS system. How do I do this?

I need to set up Firefox on my IPad 2 to be able to use my MLS system. How do I do this?

1. Mozilla doesn't have a version of Firefox for iOS, which is used on the iPad.
2. Most MLS services aren't compatible with Firefox, they seem to use software that needs controls that are only available in Internet Explorer.

My iTouch got stolen. Would they be able to recover or see my files?

My iTouch got stolen. I know it would be nearly impossible for me to find it. But my concern is that, would they be able to view my files? My iTouch is password protected though. Is there a possibility they would see what's in it? Thanks for the help.

I don't use iMessage but it doesn't sound good. It might be that the thief knows you AND your password is something that is easily guessed, like your house number or the last four digits of your phone number.
Don't agonize over what might have happened but, instead, take some steps to ensure that nothing else happens:
Change your iTunes (Apple ID) password along with any other password that was stored in the iPod. If any passwords are associated with credit cards, contact the CC company and get your card replaced (with a new number). If any passwords are associated with your bank or any savings institution, contact them also and discuss approprate action with them.
Then, at your leisure, check to determine if anything financially bad has happened, such as credit card charges, bank account withdrawals, etc. If anything like that has taken place, contact the financial institution and discuss the situation with their personnel. I've had some credit card scares and my CC company took good care of me.

How do I get all my notes back on my Ipad after they migrated to Yahoo mail notes file? I didn't initiate this action, they just migrated to Yahoo one day and I am lost with out them.

My notes from my Ipad mysteriously migrated to my Yahoo mailbox into a notes folder. How does this happen and how can I get them back on my ipad? I don't always have internet access, but always need to use my notes.

Go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings. This will erase your phone. Then you will go through the setup screens again as you did when your phone is new, and when given the option, select Restore from iCloud Backup.

HT201320 How can i keep my email accounts separate on my ipad like they were b4 latest update?

I just installed ios7 now all my incoming email comes in together- how can i keep them separate- i have 2 email accounts?

Edit : your reply applied whilst I was typing this
This is what I see (I've removed my account names) :
And after tapping the Edit button :
If you aren't getting that then you could try closing the Mail app via the multitasking bar - press the home button to go back to the iPad's homescreen ; double-click the home button to the multitasking list ; swipe or drag the Mail app from there up and off the top of the screen ; click the home button to close the bar. Then see what shows in the Mail app

I just updated my software and spotlights appear from the bottom of the screen. Two hours later I came back to the computer and they were gone. any thoughts?

I just updated my software and spotlights appeared evenly across the bottom of the screen. I left the computer for a couple of hours and when I returned they were gone. Any thoughts?

- Try resetting the iPod. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Next, restore from backup.

Got back my stolen iPad. Somehow they were able to use it even it was in lost mode.
