How do you completely cutoff your iPhone so the thief can't use it anymore?

I know there is a way to turn it off completely so it is basically a dead phone.

If it is configred with Find My iPhone on iCloud, log into iCloud and erase it.

No. If you did not activate find my iPhone then here's nothing you can do. Lesson learned.

You must stop your application before the engine can stop

I have a built application that uses LV DSC 6.0.2. The application programmatically starts and stops the tag engine. The application works fine, but on some machines, I will continually get the following dialog when I try to shutdown the Tag Engine:
"You must stop your application before the engine can stop"
This is strange, because it only occurs on some machines (it appears as though it might occur on machines that ONLY have DSC Run-Time installed, not the full LV DSC dev. system).
The dialog seems to be referring to the "control" application that is trying to shutdown the engine... it is not telling me that my device servers need to be shut down.
This dialog seems illogical, I should be able
to build an application that can start and stop the engine... and why do I get this dialog on some machines but not on others?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

John Paul,
There are two points we should consider:
1st: You might have different while loops in your application where you read/write from/to the tag engine with the Read/Write Tag.vi. Those VIs has an output shutdown which should be wired to abord the while loop. If you have some cases where you do not wire this output to your while loop stop you might access the engine while you want to shutdown the engine within another loop with the Engine Shutdown.vi. -> Make sure you have all DSC Engine accessing while loops ended before you shutdown the engine.
2nd: I guess there was once a race condition problem with the DSC engine and how it accessed the shared memory with the Read/Write Tag.vi. But this race condtion should be fixed with the LabVIEW DSC version
6.1 or with the additional fixes for LabVIEW DSC 6.0.2. You could download the fixes (in this case especially the BVRTDatabase.dll) from NI's Driver&Update page : www.ni.com/support/ > Option 3, Driver and Updates > Search Drivers and Updates > type "LabVIEW DSC" > pick LabVIEW Datalogging and Supervisory Control 6.0.2 Fixes.
You need to apply this fixes as well on your DSC 6.0.2 Run Time System!
I hope one of the two suggestions help to solve your issue.

How do you know if your Iphone app is connecting to the internet?

I'm a brand new Iphone user and I have a question about apps. I only have the smallest data plan. I'm wondering how do you know if your app (or any app you download) once opened connects to the internet?
For instance I have a Netflix subscription. When I hit the Netflix app is that connecting to the internet? When I watch a movie or tv in my own que is that still on the internet?
Or what about the Kindle app or iBooks? Is it on the internet to read?
Those are just two small examples. I'm having a hard time figuring out which apps to download based on if they connect to the internet for their use.

As a general rule, if the app stores all of its data locally on your phone, a data connection is not needed for that app to function properly. If the app does not store data locally on your phone...streaming apps(Netflix), the built in Maps app, etc., a data connection will be required for the app to function properly. You can minimize your cellular data usage by only using such apps when connected to available WiFi. You also have the ability to turn cellular data completely off in settings: Settings>General>Network>Cellular Data>Off. Best to completely read an apps description before installing such on your phone. If a data connection is required for the app to function, it will state such in the app's description.

If a reset doesnt fix it (which it wont - that is likely a hardware issue), then get warranty service.

How do you save dynamic data type, from the DAQ assistant, for use in Excel or matlab?

Currently, I have the following basic VI setup to save Data from my PCI6221 Data Aquisition Card. The problem I'm having is I keep getting the last iteration of the while loop in the measurement file and that's pretty much it. When I try to index the data leaving the loop it gives me a 2D array of Data which cannot be input into the "Write to Measurement File" VI. How would I save this to a useful Data/time step format? I was wondering of a way to continuously collect the Data and then save it in a large measurement file that I would manipulate in Matlab/excel? Am I using the wrong type of loop for this application? I also noticed my Dynamic Data array consists of data, time, timestep and then a vector of the data taken. Is it possible to just get a vector of the time change per sample alongside the data? Sorry for the barrage of questions but any help would be greatly appreciated, and thanks in advance!

There is a VI in the Express > Signal Manipulation palette called "From DDT" that lets you convert from the Dynamic Data Type to other data types that are more compatible with operations like File I/O....for instance, you could convert your DDT into a 2D array and use the Write To Spreadsheet File.vi. Just a thought...

How do you know when your iphone 4s is done charging if your phone is turned off?

Does it have to be turned on to see if it's hit 100%? I have an older generation Ipod that has a battery symbol when charging and you know it's 100% charged when all the bars are full- it comes up as an icon on the screen. This is my first time charging the phone since I got it so just nervous if it's actually charging.

If you plug your iPhone in to charge, even if it is turned off, it will turn on.
However, if you turn it off during a charge, there will be no notification that it has completed its charge.

How do you set up your iphone so when you connect to another computer you have to enter a password before accessing the information?

Hi
I just want to know how you can set up your iphone so when you connect to another computer you have to enter a password before accessing the information? My friend connected hers to my computer and it asked for a password so I know its a function.
I have a phone password enabled so its not that, any help would be great.

The Passcode Lock prevents syncing the iPhone with iTunes or accessing any data on the iPhone when the iPhone is connected to another computer different from the computer being used for syncing the iPhone.

How do you back up your iPhone 6 to iCloud without it turned on?

Just wondering if there is different ways to back up your iPhone without it being turned on?

If its not switched on, then you can't.
Otherwise, connect your phone to iTunes on your computer and back up the phone to the computer.

How do you set up your iphone?

Right, so I got a new Iphone 4 and it was bouught unlocked from apple. My iphone sim is O2 and i had to switch my number over to this because i thave a contract. I have put the new sim in the phone, restarted it and connected it to itunes. When i sonnect it to itunes it says " The SIM card inserted in this Iphone does not appear to be supported." Then there is a whole paragraph about compatible sims... so when you pop the sim out it says no SIM card installed, Insert a valid Sim with no PIN lock to activate iPhone. So I went to the O2 store and they changed my SIM and the whole thing isn't any different. If anyone else has a clue please help me, I'm aweful with technology!

Look at your receipt. If it says "unlocked" it is an unlocked phone. If it doesn't activate call or visit the store where you bought it. If it was sold as unlocked there should be no waiting period.
You can try connecting it to iTunes and clicking the "Restore" button on the Summary screen. If it wasn't unlocked in the store, but is authorized to be unlocked, that will unlock it. You should get a message after the restore that says "Congratulations, you phone is unlocked!" When connecting be sure to use a USB port directly on the computer, not a hub.

How do you tell if your iphone has been hacked?

How do you tell if you iphone has been hacked? I have an iphone 3GS and I've gotten text messages from 2 different people that i don't know, telling me they can't see the pics that I've sent them & wanting to know what the pics are of. One of the numbers had been part of a group message that I recieved from a friend. I just thought she ended up responding back to me by mistake thinking she was sending a message to the originater of the group message.Then a couple weeks later i got another text from a person I have never contacted wanting to know who I was & why I was sending multimedia messages that she couldn't open. Just trying to figure out what is going on. If I postd this on the wrong group, please let me know which one I need to post this on. Thanks.

Well that's good to know. As far as I know the phone has not been jailbroken, unless it was done before I bought it. I purchased it used from an individual who said it was restored to factory defaults.
It just concerns me that people are texting me telling me that I'm sending them pics that they can't open. I've checked my bill online & nothing shows up that shouldn't be there.
