How many iPhones stolen per day? Prevent shutdown.

Dear friends.
Since I had my iPhone stolen I'm searching for a way (without jailbreaking it) to prevent that my new iPhone gets lost.
"Find my iPhone" is only useful when the thief is dum.b as hel.l and when nobody has found it (yet).
Does Apple see comercial advantages on this situation? How many iPhones are stolen a day?!
I mean, why in the world wouldn't you develop security apps and security features so we don't lose our beloved phones?
This is serious, and it seems Apple doesn't care. I don't want to jailbreak my iPhone, but you are not helping, Apple!
I would like to see a Restriction setting that would block the shutdown of my iPhone when it's locked. It would require a passcode to shut it down. It's so simple!
This way thieves wouldn't be able to shut it down!
The same works for Airplane mode and Wi-Fi. A passcode should be required to turn it off (if I enable this feature).
Advanced considerations: DFU mode and recovery mode should "expire", the iPhone should reset itself after some time (e.g. 10 minutes) so the iPhone would come back to life and allow tracking.
SECURITY!
So far nothing was done in this area. I believe Apple should pay more attention to this.
Best regards,
Will

Sorry requiring a passcode to shut down the phone isn't a good idea.
do you know how many users forget their 4 digit passcode to unlock their phones - use the search function at the top right and you'll see all the threads.

  • How many iphone 4's will each store have on 6/24?

    Just wondering because I preordered mine at best buy on 6/15 and the store clerk told me I was preorder #15. Do you think I will receive my phone on 6/24? Any info on how many iphones each store will have?
    I figure I should be okay, since half of those 15 are probably for the 16gb and some white models. I ordered the black 32gb. Just figured I'd ask.

    I figured nobody would really know for sure. I'm wondering if anyone remembers how many 3g's were available in-store on launch day last year. It would provide an estimation for this year I guess.
    I figure I should be able to pick up my phone on 6/24. Best Buy should carry at least 20-30 one would think.(I'm #15)
    There are a bunch of walmarts, best buys, an at&t and apple store with 15 miles of my house. I'm not sure if this is a good thing or bad when it comes to how many iphones will be available in each store.

  • How many iphones i can carry through the customs clearance to russia?

    How many iphones i can carry through the customs clearance to russia?

    I believe Apple's limit is 2 phones per purchase, at least during the first few weeks of a release.  That's not to say you could not do 2 purchases of 2 phones.

  • How many DAQ tasks per loop?

    Hi to everybody, I hope anybody can help me with the next case:
    I am working on a system in which I have to read signals of 5 different sensors which have different ways to communicate (4 - 20 mA, voltage, RS-232, ModBUS, etc.) with the DAQ Device (cDAQ in my case), at same time when I am reading the variables I must check for the state of several digital inputs to verify connections and if any is interrupt I must stop the Data Acquisition.
    My question is if is recommendable to put all the tasks in a single loop with the logic shown in the attached image.
    Or if I should divide the tasks in a multiple loop architecture.
    If the answer is the second, my next question is: How many DAQ tasks per loop is OK?, my doubt is based on the number of variables that I am going to read
    and the different ways to get the measures, specially which are by protocols (ModBUS, RS-232), all this by the response time.
    Thanks in advance, all suggestions are welcome!

    I would recommend using a loop just for control and UI events.  It should only have an event structure.  Don't use the timeout case, since that just turns the system into a polling.  Use Queues to send data from the controller loop to your other loops and User Events to send data back to the controller looop.
    There are only two ways to tell somebody thanks: Kudos and Marked Solutions

  • How many iPhone I can install my application with my apple ID? and is it legal or not??

    how many iPhone I can install my application with my apple ID? and is it legal or not??

    I believe the limit on how any times an application can be installed has been removed, but, as it stands, there is no limit to the number of installations you can have... just the number of activated installations.  For what it sounds like you are doing, there is should not be an issue of hitting a limit even if there is one.
    If you are reinstalling on new machines then you probably want to deactivate the current installations before you attempt to activate on the new machines.

  • How many iphones on one itune account?

    Hello,
    I would like to know how many iphones, ipads, ipods or the mix of all three can I put on one itune account?
    Thanks

    You can sync as many devices as you want to the same itunes account, there is no limit. You can have the same content on each device or different content, the choice is yours. Itunes will keep everything straight, by device, upon subsequent syncs.

  • How to backup ONCE per DAY only

    Hi
    It takes forever (2hrs+) to backup 300GB onto our Time Capsule, and the backup slows down my computer so much to the point I want to pull my hair out! I can't seem to find a way to do an automatic backup once per day only rather than hourly without turning off the automatic backup and doing it manually.
    Does anyone know how to do an automatic backup to Time Capsule once per day only?
    Thank you!

    Thank you for your assistance!
    That is exactly what I was looking for, and am very relieved to know there is something available!!
    I was hesitant to download it at first because since it is backing up all my files, I was afraid of the possibility of having a built in bug that would allow an outsider to access my files. However, I researched it, and it seems there are many happy & satisfied users of the Time Machine Editor software.
    Thanks again! Hopefully Apple will just swallow their pride and make this ability available in one of their own software updates in the future.

  • How many iPhone backups does iTunes keep?

    I've found where you find the iTunes iPhone backup files (~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup). But I would like a list of how many backups I have. Those files are very cryptic and the dates are all over the place. I want to see if I have a week's worth, or month, etc...
    Thanks.

    You can check in iTunes: Edit/Preferences/Devices, you should see a panel with a list of dated backups. For me there is only one. I haven't figured out yet if it's possible to make it do more than one.
    The page sited in prior post says "Since iTunes only keeps one backup per device..." so maybe it's always one. Apple suggest that the directory where iTunes backups are kept should be backed up elsewhere (Timemachine, etc) to give access to multiple backups. Not so convenient.
    This page (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414) implies there are multiple backups by showing a dropdown list where you can pick one. It's a bit misleading.
    The dilemma I would like to solve is that, through some blunders on my part, I lost some app data that I would like to recover. I was upgrading OS on the iPhone, and in that process two backups were taken automatically. The second one did not have the data I want back. I was hoping there were several backups and that I could restore the data from one of them. Seems it's not so.

  • How many iPhone 5's are available?

    if I don't wake up at 3:01am to pre-order my iPhone 5 will there still be Iphone 5's available at 6:30am? Is there a limit as to how many phones verizon is going to pre-order? Reason... I was in line to buy my 4S and they announced in the store that there were only 4 more 4S's available in the store. So I was told that I would have to pre-order and wait until they made more to be sold. :/ basically I don't want to be up until 330 if I don't have to!

    its a gamble it might or it might not, the business preorder doesn't start till 10 am so they must have some set aside for each. i would recommend just taking a nap setting an alarm get it over with and go back to sleep.
