Help me solve stolen iPhone mystery

I need some clarification on how the Continuity feature works in order to solve who took my iPhone 5c.
The last time I know for sure I had my phone was in location A where there are 3 people who could have taken it.
I then went to location B where I was using my Macbook Air when I received an SMS (sent to my iphone telephone number that was stolen) that appeared on my Macbook Air as I was using it.  My question is does the iPhone have to be in the same location as the laptop for the Continuity feature to work.  If yes then I know the phone was in location B and I know exactly who took it.
Hopefully I was clear enough! thanks

Thanks for that link, but I locked my phone using the "find my iphone" on iCloud as soon I realized it was missing. 
My question was a little more nuanced.
Even if it 'connected' via Continuity, then that would mean that it was connected to a wi-fi network.  Therefore, if it has a wi-fi connection (or a cellular data connection), it's trackable via Find My iPhone.  Use that to locate your device.

  • Need help locating my stolen iPhone

    Apart from the "findmyiphone" application, are there other measures I can take to help locate my stolen iPhone?

    Hello alueshima,
    I'm sorry to hear about your phone. I think you should look over the information in this article from Apple:
    If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch is lost or stolen

  • Help Me Solve a Connection Mystery

    Any thoughts on trouble-shooting this would be helpful.
    1. Using audio/video, I can connect from _my office_ (MacBook Pro running OS X 10.5 w/HIGH bandwidth) to _my mom's house_ or _my sister's house_ (both have MacBook Pros running OS X 10.4.11 w/wireless DSL).
    2. Using audio/video, I can connect from _my office_ to _my home_ (PowerMac 2xG4 with wired DSL).
    3. I cannot connect via audio or video from _my house_ to _my mom/sister's_ computers.
    So all of the routers/connections work... depending on who I'm connecting to.
    With the failed audio/video connections, the invitation is sent okay, but once it's accepted the "starting connection" icon just spins and the connection never completes.
    I am running a cheapie USB camera at home (with iUSBcam), but that's not a problem when I'm connecting to the office.... that connection works fine and the quality is good.
    Suggestions on trouble-shooting would be appreciated.

    Yes, in simple terms.
    Most domestic devices do NAT (Network Address Translation)
    This can be done in lots of different ways.
    Strangely not all of these work with each other and in some case cause the data (particularly port info for Chat) to get changed. This can also be seen when the devices are the same make and even the same model.
    The Pics at Port Forward about the device listed says this device does UPnP.
    If you have chosen a different method to open the ports try Setting UPnP and disabling the other method.

  • Please help me solve a MultiProvider mystery...

    Greetings,
    Happy autumn to everyone!  I have a weird situation with a MultiProvider.  I added a key figure to the MultiProvider.  Let's call the InfoObject ZKEY_FIGURE.
    In dev and QA, there are no problems.  In production, when I look at the MultiProvider from RSA1, I see ZKEY_FIGURE in the MultiProvider, and I see that it is correctly assigned to an InfoObject in a source InfoProvider.
    BUT... when I open up the query designer and create a query against the MultiProvider, ZKEY_FIGURE does not show up anywhere in the query designer.  It is not under key figures on the left-hand side or anywhere else.  In other words, it is in the MultiProvider, but the query designer can't see it.  Therefore, I can't use ZKEY_FIGURE in a query. 
    What do I need to do to make the query designer see that ZKEY_FIGURE is in the MultiProvider?
    Thanks,
    Sarah

    Thanks to everybody for the replies!  I truly appreciate it!
    I fixed the problem by re-activating the MultiProvider in dev (even though it was already active) and re-transporting.  That fixed it.  I really don't know what caused this issue or why re-transporting an already-active object would fix it, but I guess it is just a mystery.  I am very happy it is resolved! 
    Here are the answers to the questions you posed in your replies:
    Question from Prathish:
    Can you just try regenerating your query once again and check if the Keyfigure is displayed
    Answer:
    Thanks, Prathish.  I'm not exactly sure what you mean by "regenerate", but I did open several queries against the MultiProvider in production and run them.  Whenever I did this, the key figure was not displayed in the query designer.
    Also, I created queries from scratch in production.  They had the same problem in which they key figure would not display. 
    Question from SSS:
    Have you checked technical consistancies using RSRV?
    Answer:
    Thanks, SSS.  I didn't try that, but I will make a note of that transaction for next time and appreciate the suggestion.  Thanks! 
    Question from prashanthk:
    Are you sure the key figure assignment(identification) is done in the multiprovider?
    If its there in the Infocube and not visible in MP means once Cross check the identification of KF?
    also check for the data is displayed for this KF using the display data or LISTCUBE transaction.
    Answer:
    Yes, I've triple-checked the assignment, and my colleagues have also looked at it, because I wanted a second pair of eyes to make sure I wasn't missing something. 
    I didn't try display data or LISTCUBE, but thanks for suggesting them.  I will remember that for next time! 
    Comment from Anass M:
    close all query designer instances
    activate the multiprovider again (tcode rsa1, change, activate)
    check if something wrong in tcode rsrv.
    Answer:
    Thanks, Anass.  Re-transporting fixed it, so I didn't get the chance to look at rsrv, but I will try that next time. 
    Question from UPEDNEKAR:
    In your post, you are mentioning that when you 'created' a query on the MP you could not see the Key figure. Now , did you created the Query directly on Production server ? How about creating a Query on the Dev. server and checking out if you are encountering similar issue ?
    Answer:
    Thanks, UPEDNEKAR.  When I created the query in production, I could not see the key figure.  When I created a query in dev, I could see the key figure.  When I transported that query to Q, I could see the key figure.  When I transported that query to P, the transport went to P with no problems (return code 0).  But... when I opened up the query in production, I got a message that said the key figure did not exist and I had to click "Repair" to remove that key figure from the query. 
    Thanks again to everyone!  This is what makes the online community so great!  Have a good rest of the week!

  • My icloud activation lock is ON my iphone, which requires an activation login to access the homescreen, but when i log in with the apple ID on the phone, it says the apple ID is not meant to unclock this iphone 5 ios 8.0.2. please help me solve this.

    Yes the phone belongs to me. It was purchased from United Kingdom Vodafone to West Africa, i had to factory unlock to use any sim in it. so it belongs to me. I did the activation myself, now after updating my iphone to the latest update, it required a user id and password to activate the phone, but anytime i enter the details, it tells me the user Id is not correct but the password is correct..

  • Solved my iPhone 5 Battery Problems: Maybe it can help you!

    Hi every one, I saw many topics regarding battery problems with the iPhone 5. I responded to one discussion describing what I did to solve the iPhone 5 battery dying fast on me. So I thought I'd make a discussion here to help out other users with the same problem.
    I would have 25-30% drop with in the hour and all I did was text a couple of my friends. I was using an iPhone 4 for the longest time, and on that phone I was able to watch videos, listen to music and use all the other features of the phone. The battery still lasted me the whole day, I was getting  worried that I wouldn't be able to use the iPhone 5 the same with out it dying on me fast.
    My friend suggested draining the battery and then charging the phone to see if any improvements were seen. I did that and I saw a small change in the battery strength. I drained the battery two more times, and that is when I saw a huge difference.
    I use my Phone as my iPod when I work out, and I run continuous music on it for 1.5-2 hours straight, along with sending texts to my friends. In this duration I would only use 15-20% which was a huge improvement from before. I would say that the battery life was on par with my iPhone 4 battery! It is such a relief, now I can use my iPhone 5 to it's fullest potential without having to worry it'll die on me fast.
    I recommend other iPhone 5 users try draining their batteries a couple of times before charging as well if they are experiencing problems.
    Hope this helps!
    Dylan

    I would let the battery completely die before I would charge it again. I would keep 3g off and only turn it on if I'm going to use it and turn it off again. Because the phone uses more power for the 3g/4g that the battery dies even faster.
    I text a lot to friends so I'm constantly texting through out the day and when I work out continously run music on it for close to 2hours. It would only drain 15-20% of the battery, which really is a huge improvement.
    I also use Siri quite often through wifi and it barely uses any battery power. Try letting the phone die until it turns off a couple of times before you charge it. That is what I did before a friend requested doing that after I was getting fraustrated with the battery power.

  • How do i find stolen iphone 5... plz help

    i lost my iphone 5 yesterday at the arena....
    someone stole it when i was tying my skates....
    is there any way i can find it???

    The only way to locate any lost/stolen iPhone is through Find My Phone. However, this requires that Find My Phone be setup/activated, on your phone, before it was lost/stolen. You would then login at iCloud.com & try to locate it. This requires the phone be turned on & have an Internet connection. There is no other way to locate a lost/stolen iPhone. Apple can't/won't help you, nor will your carrier. Report the loss to the Police, your carrier & Insurance company. Change all of your passwords.

    my iphone 5 32 gb has an camera autofocus problem, please help me solve this

    Hi teejayfs,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If you've noticed unexpected behavior with your iPhone camera, start with these steps to isolate or resolve the issue:
    Camera isn't functioning or has undesired image quality
    If the screen shows a closed lens or black image, force quit the Camera app.
    If you do not see the Camera app on the Home screen, try searching for it in Spotlight. If the camera does not show up in the search, check to make sure that Restrictions are not turned on by tappingSettings > General > Restrictions.
    Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from any obstructions. Use a microfiber polishing cloth to clean the lens.
    Cases can interfere with the camera and the flash. Try gently cleaning the lens with a clean dry cloth or removing the case if you see image or color-quality issues with photos.
    Try turning iPhone off and then back on.
    Tap to focus the camera on the subject. The image may pulse or briefly go in and out of focus as it adjusts.
    Try to remain steady while focusing:
    Still images: Remain steady while taking the picture. If you move too far in any direction, the camera automatically refocuses to the center.
    Note: If you take a picture with iPhone turned sideways, it is automatically saved in landscape orientation.
    Video: Adjust focus before you begin recording. You can also tap to readjust focus while recording. Exiting the Camera application while recording will stop recording and will save the video to the Camera Roll.
    Note: Video-recording features are not available on original iPhone or iPhone 3G.
    If your iPhone has a front and rear camera, try switching between them to verify if the issue persists on both.
