How does Find My iPod work..

If Find My iPod needs a Wifi connection to work, how will it be able to be locked/wiped/tracked if it doesn't have a internet connection. And iPods don't automatically connect to wifi connections. Whats the point of it.
My iPod was stolen and I'm thinking about all these stuff.

Sorry about the loss...
This is meant for devices which are on network (wifi or GPS/3G). If the device is stolen and wiped, or is out of internet access range (wifi or 3G), then there is no phone in the world to find. Not only iPhone or Touch...
It is a great service for situations when you forget your Touch in the car or at your friends house. As long as it has Wifi and battery charge and the Find feature is turned on, you should find it.
Thieves obviously know all this, so wiping it is the first thing, they'd do.....

How does find my iphone work with one apple id or two? also I am going to be going off to college soon should I make an itunes id for my self and how will I get all the music from the old id?

    Is it possible to have your whole family on one apple id or is it better to have each person have there own?
    Yes, it is possible. 1 apple ID can be associated with up to 10 devices.
    If each has their own does each id have to buy their own music and apps?
    Yes, all purchases are non-transferable.
    How does find my iphone work with one apple id or two?
    Every device associated with one apple ID through Find my iPhone is tied to that Apple ID; Find my iPhone will work in the same way with up to ten devices associated with one apple ID. You cannot enable Find my iPhone for one device across two apple IDs
    I am going to be going off to college soon should I make an itunes id for my self and how will I get all the music from the old id?
    If you have authorized a computer with the old apple ID, you can transfer old media purchased through the old to other devices via iTunes. This doesn't mean the media purchases through the old apple ID it transferred to the new account. If you plan to make future purchases and don't wish to share them with others, make your own apple ID.

  • How does FIND MY IPHONE work?

    I'm trying to figure out how I am notified that my phone is found if the phone is lost.

    If you use Find My iPhone to play a sound on your device, or issue a remote lock, when this action is take you receive an email informing you that it took place.  To track your device you have to go to icloud.com on your computer and locate it on a map.  To actually be informed that it is found, you would have to initiate Lost Mode, and have a message displayed on your device that tells the person that finds it how to contact you.
    There are more details here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmfc0f2442.

    This thread - with a quote from an LR4 Beta thread - says that all 6 central Basic controls in PV2012 (Exposure thru Blacks) are now image-adaptive, as were Recovery, Fill Light, and Clarity in previous versions:
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/4253485
    Whether they are suitable for creating a Timelapse sequence without significant flicker is entirely subjective and up to you - and of course, dependant on your specific images & how they change over time.  Sorry, not much advice beyond try PV2012, and revert back to PV2010 if you get too much flicker.

  • How does business catalyst really work?

    So i've tried to reach this and cant seem to find answers in plain english.... How does Business Catalyst really work?.. functionally.
    1) I have a hosting service with godaddy and jumpline, I have a lot of space and do all of my client's websites through the space I have with those two plans, do they offer the business catalyst format? Just buy that platform with them or have it added?
    2) I have CC, business catalyst "comes with" it.... how does that work? Am I given space on someone elses server somewhere or do I just have the ability to upload the BC software onto a server I have... in which case could it be uploaded to godaddy or jumpline?
    3) The new MUSE features can only be done with business catalyst right?

    Hi,
    Business Catalyst is a web hosting platform that lets web designers host, build, and sell websites to clients. You use Muse to create and update a website. You use Business Catalyst to host it. A Muse subscription includes free hosting on Business Catalyst for one site. A Creative Cloud membership includes free hosting for five sites.
    Regarding your Creative Cloud Subscription, with BC. You must install and use Muse/Dreamweaver to publish your free sites. For More details, Please refer to the article below
    http://helpx.adobe.com/business-catalyst/using/business-catalyst-muse-users.html
    The new Muse feature, like in Browser editing is compatible only with Business Catalyst, but the other feature like Parallex Scrolling works on all the other hosting as well, like Godaddy.
    If you still have any query, please let us know and we will try to resolve it.
    Thanks.

  • How does the .accept() method work?

    Hi,
    I have checked the source code of the ServerSocket implementation that comes with the jdk.
    I tought I was going to find some type of loop. However I found nothing like that! so how does the accept method work.
    I mean when we call the .accept() method, the thread in which the socketServer is initialized gets stoped untill a new client connection is recieved! how is this actually managed?
    Regards,
    Sim085

    At a guess, the accept call that Java makes, relies on the OS system call through JNI. accept would then block until a new connection is present if you are using blocking.

  • How does the time machine work

    how does the time machine work....I need to find an older version of a document...

    Hi mogburn,
    Time Machine is part of the System software, not a feature of the word processing and page layout application, Pages, the topic in this community.
    That said, Time Machine is pretty easy to get into.
    In the Finder, open the folder containing the current version of the file.
    Select the file, then click on the Time Machine icon in the menu bar and choose Enter Time machine.
    The folder window will move to the center of the screen, and two arrows will appear near the lower right corner of the window.
    Click the one pointing back to go back in time, and the one pointing toward the front (of the computer) to return to the present. The display will stop at each saved version of the file along the way.
    Need more details? Try asking in the Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard community.
    Regards,

  • How does operator 'less than' work with Rectangle objects?

    Just found in legacy code the following:
    private var firstRect:Rectangle;
    private var secondRect:Rectangle;
    if (firstRect < secondRect)
    // do something
    How does operator 'less than' work with Rectangle objects?
    Doc says that object is converted to number if it is not a String.
    Rectangle is not a String, though has conversion to String.
    Please help.

    IME the best way to know for sure is to experiment. The docs are only one person's best understanding of how things worked on the day, which is seldom 100% accurate. I find that even with code I wrote I can't accurately say 100% of what it does until I've worked with it for a while. Keep in mind that the docs are usually written when the code is written, so  never expect more than a rough idea from the docs.

  • How does CDC consistant mode work

    Gurus,

    When you turn off the iPod and then return to it within a few minute/hours, it will resume from where you left it. So far, so good.
    However, if you leave the iPod inactive for a period of 14 hours or more, it goes into a hibernation mode in order to conserve battery power. Then when next you turn it on, the iPod will restart with the Apple logo, and return to the main menu. Under those circumstances, it will not resume from the point you left it.

    It will import data object stored in memory under named fields to your custom data object fieldlist .
