How do I use the remote wipe feature for file vault 2 / lion?

I tried to find a preference panel. I know that for the ios you have to link/setup your device. I tried the find my iphone web site to see if my computer was listed there and it isn't at the moment. Is this new lion feature only available later with icloud? I checked the lion feature page and it lists it with file vault 2 with no asterisk so my guess is it should already now work.
It would be a pity to think you've setup your computer to find out that you hadn't "activated" your computer/laptop
Thanks,

Hi,
I'm out of the country on business but probably the only way to figure this out is to call apple or drop by their retail stores. If no one figures this out (and I'm pretty sure there is nothing to figure out at this time). I'll try to call apple when I'm back in august.
I find it wrong that apple touts this as a feature with no disclaimer. I'm a loyal mac fan for twenty years so I'll continue to buy their prodcuts and I did buy lion the day it came out. BUT a disclaimer (as they have done in the past) would have been nice. I know of at least two mac users who usually don't buy new OS's until they get it with their new laptops that specifically bought lion for this feature since they had read about it in a newspaper article.
I also thought this was one of the more useful features in lion since my family already "lost" an iPad and we liked to delete our data after our alarm and message didn't work for a day.
I'm sure  apple has it's reasons for not offering the feature just yet but in that case a disclaimer is a must. I would probably drop the reference remote wipe until I have the infrastructure in place.
Cheers,
Phillyman

Because the thief had before the blocked of the phone disconect to not be localized.

  • My home network has an Airport Extreme w/Time Capsule as the base and then an Airport Express and a second Airport Extreme to reach different areas of the house.  Is there a way to use the second Airport Extreme for file storage on this network?

    My home network has an Airport Extreme w/Time Capsule as the base and then an Airport Express and a second Airport Extreme to reach different areas of the house.  Is there a way to use the second Airport Extreme for file storage on this network?  Network is administered through an iMac running OS X Yosemite 10.10.2.  Ideally, would like for the second Airport Extreme hard drive to appear on the list of devices in the Finder window.

    Ok.. gottcha
    The problem is network wise.. Yosemite is about equal to tin cans and string.. pathetic.
    Here is my usual set of instructions to get anything working on Yosemite.
    The best way to fix problems is a full factory reset of all the AE in the network.
    Factory reset universal
    Power off the AE.. ie pull the power cord or power off at the wall.. wait 10sec.. hold in the reset button.. be gentle.. power on again still holding in reset.. and keep holding it in for another 10sec. You may need some help as it is hard to both hold in reset and apply power. It will show success by rapidly blinking the front led. Release the reset.. and wait a couple of min for the AE to reset and come back with factory settings. If the front LED doesn’t blink rapidly you missed it and simply try again. The reset is fairly fragile in these.. press it so you feel it just click and no more.. I have seen people bend the lever or even break it. I use a toothpick as tool.
    Then redo the setup from the computer with Yosemite.
    1. Use very short names.. NOT APPLE RECOMMENDED names. No spaces and pure alphanumerics.
    eg AEgen5 and AEwifi for basestation and wireless respectively.
    Even better if the issue is more wireless use AE24ghz and AE5ghz with fixed channels as this also seems to help stop the nonsense.
    2. Use all passwords that also comply but can be a bit longer. ie 8-20 characters mixed case and numbers.. no non-alphanumerics.
    3. Ensure the AE always takes the same IP address.. this is not a problem for AE which is router.. it is a problem for AE which is bridged.. you will need to set static IP in the main router by dhcp reservations or use static IP in the AE which is tricky.
    4. Check your share name on the computer is not changing.. make sure it also complies with the above.. short no spaces and pure alphanumeric..
    5. Make sure IPv6 is set to link-local only in the computer. For example wireless open the network preferences, wireless and advanced / TCP/IP.. and fix the IPv6. to link-local only.
    6. Now mount the disk of the second AE in finder... manually.
    Use Go, Connect to Server and type in the AE ip address.
    SMB://10.0.1.2
    Where you will replace that address with the actual address. The network resource should be discovered and then it will request the password.. type that in and make sure you tick to save it in your keychain.
    There is a lot more jiggery pokery you can try but the above is a good start.. if you find it still unreliable.. don't be surprised.
    Do as much as you want of the above... not all of it is necessary.. only if you want it reliable.. or as reliable as Yosemite in its current incarnation can manage.
    The most important thing is point 6.. mount the disk using direct IP address and not names.. dns in Yosemite is fatally flawed.

  • How do I use the remote app on a dual band network?

    There are 2 routers in my home. One is dual band (SSID: NETGEAR49-5G). This one is being used as a 5GHz access point while the other (SSID: NETGEAR49) is being used as a 2.4GHz extender. However I can't use the Remote app to control my iTunes library, regardless of which router I connect to. I can't even use a passcode to add my library because I just keep getting an error saying I entered the wrong code. Strangely everything's fine if I turn off the 2.4GHz router, but I don't want to have to keep doing that. Is there any way I can configure the two routers so I can use the Remote app and other network-based services??

    Hi,
    I can tell you how it works on my iPhone.
    I click the Messages icon to open it.
    I click the box with pencil icon top right for New Message
    I start to type the name of the person I want to contact in the "To" spot.
    (Alternatively use the Blue + icon and select direct from Contacts list)
    I select the full name of Contact from any list if there are multiples.
    Once the person and their Contact option is selected I click on the text field at the bottom of screen
    Using the "keyboard" I type the Message and then  the Send button.

  • How can I use the remote that comes with MacBook?

    I have a MacBook remote (old macbook, not the pro). I no longer have the macbook computer, but I hope I can still use the remote. I do not know how. Please help me.

    Only if it has IR support. Otherwise, it cannot. You would need to connect an IR receiver to the USB port.

  • How can I use the hardware compare feature of the 6551 card to trigger scripts

    I can dynamically and seamlessly generate different waveforms by triggering different scriptTriggers that drive one or more of the 4 PFI lines. However, I need to evaluate a channel at a specific location or locations set by a script marker in real-time and generate a different waveform stored in on-board memory based on the result of the evaluation. I have attempted to use the hardware compare feature without any success. I am trying to dynamically respond to an I2C device based on the ACKs or NACK response of the device under test. Can the 6551 card accomplish this? Has anyone successfully tested an I2C or SMBus communication stream with 6551 card?

    Hello,
    I can understand why hardware compare did not work out for you application.  Hardware compare uses a signal that was generated to make a digital pattern and then waits a few clock cycles before acquiring the signal that needs to be compared to the digital pattern. 
    I would look into using a script trigger to evaluate the channel value, where the script structure controls when it is evaluated.  Please note that script triggers will need to be cleared after they are detected for reasserting.  Some script syntax actually clear the script trigger and then use a wait until script trigger structure.  Please refer to the HS DIO Help for documentation on Common Scripting Use Cases. 
    Please provide us with further details about your application.  The more information, the better!  I was not too clear on what you where wanting to evaluate and where is it coming from. 
    I would also like to mention that National Instruments has a NI USB 8451 which is capable of I2C communication.

  • How can we use the table partitions feature and.........

    Hai friends when i tried to use the bitmap indexes and table partitions feature ,
    I got a message like this
    'table partiotion feature not enabled'
    so please tell me how can i enable those features so that i will be able to use those features..........

    Partitioning and Bitmap Indexes are features of Oracle Enterprise addition. In fact, I think that Partitioning is an extra option that needs to purchased with Oracle Enterprise - it is not a default feature.
    These features do not exist on Oracle Standard Edition (and likely Express Edition too).

  • How could I remove the remote wipe or lock?

    I lost my iPod and I really want to find it, so I got the find my iPhone app, now I think I was playing around with the buttons and hit remote wipe or lock and now the iPod is gone from the device list before I could even track it! Ah! Now what should I do, I there I way I could get the device back? Please help! :)

    The only way to get it back is the old fashioned way. Wiping the iPod permenently deletes the abuility for you to find the iPod via wifi. 
    Inform the police and change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod. A

  • TS1741 how can I use the remote app for my Apple TV when I am using the Apple TV away from home!?

    I'm traveling and using the Apple TV at the hotel but the remote app is not working cause I can't turn on home sharing from my p&c, cause its not here

    Most hotels tend to require a login to the network via browser, which the ATV doesn't have. You won't be able to access the network for any functions if that's the case.
    You may want to contact someone at the hotel to clarify.

  • How do I use the address book feature which allows you to connect your contacts to their social networking profiles? (in Lion)

    When I look up the 250+ new features of Mac OSX Lion, under address book, there's a new feature that interests me.
    "Address Book lets you quickly access the social network profiles for your contacts, including Facebook. Press and hold an email address to select the appropriate profile."
    Somehow I can't get it to work. What do I do?

    Make sure it's on the Template (see the entry for Twitter):
    Then update the contact with the relevant info.
    For Twitter you can then click and hold the Twitter tag to either View Profile or Send Tweet.

  • How can I use the "create book" feature without having my album photo sequence altered

    I have created an album with photos that are in a particular order for a reason.  I then process to create a book.  The template then rearranges all my photos.  Is there a way to keep them in the original order I set up? 

    All the 5000 photos that reappeared after repair today were from my canada mega event, but for some reason it did not do it for all the other mega events.  It is a start but not complete.
    Try the rebuild to recover more lost photos.
    If "rebuild" with iPhoto does not recover more lost photos, rebuild with iPhoto Library Manager as described by Old Toad in this thread, but rebuilding with iPhoto Library manager will not recover your projects like cards, bilks, slideshows.
    Re: iPhoto glitch with retained masters https://discussions.apple.com/message/26354337#26354337
    Mostly the way I organize all my photos is that I make a folder for each country I visit.  i.e. New Zealand Folder, Canada Folder, India Folder; and at the same time, any photos that I import I delete directly from new imports and just keep the ones i want and then i go up to events and move the latest imported event into a mega event for that country and so they all get joined in a sense.
    As a workaround, merge the events right after importing, before you start deleting photos.  And empty the trash always before merging projects.
    You might consider to use albums instead of events for your country lists.   I simply use the events as basic containers. One event for each day of shooting photos. I found, that smart albums and searches are quicker in iPhoto and Aperture, if the events are smaller, also browsing is easier, if the events are not so large.
    You can merge albums and remove photos from albums without the problems mentioned above.

  • How do I use the new search function for ipod?

    itunes 7.0 and ipod is up to date:
    when i scroll through the music, i get the nifty little grey box with the letter in it, but how do i get to the search where i use the click wheel to input a query and search through all items in my ipod?

    Unless your iPod is one of the recently announced upgraded 30GB or 80GB iPods, you don't have the search function. It was not added to existing devices in the recent update. It may or may not be added in some future software update but there's no official word on that.

  • How do I use the same apple id for 2 iPads, but not share email, phone #, etc.?

    I have had 2 iPads for a couple years, both using the same apple id. One is used primarily by my husband. Today I got notifications that my husband's ipad is now using all the same email addresses and phone number associated with mine. How do I change this?

    You can set the same Apple ID for iTunes and App Stores, but have different Apple ID's for Messages, iCloud and Facetime.
    Settings->iCloud->Apple ID->Sign Out
    Settings->Facetime->Apple ID->Sign Out
    Settings->Messages->Send & Receive->Apple ID->Sign Out
    Just go into Settings, and make sure the Apple ID set for those services is different for both iPads.
