Do not use Erase. Instead use Lost Device. However, if the items are automatically erased then you cannot locate them nor change the setting.

Forgot passcode to iPad. Has not been connected to itunes. Tried to erase from "find my phone". But it is offline. Tried to restore it. But itunes said it couldn't because it had a passcode. How do I fix this?
Them try:
Placing your device into recovery (DFU-Device Firmware Upgrade) mode:
Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
1. Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the
other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds
until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
* If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the
Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off,
release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the
device. The device should turn on. Note: If you see the battery charge warning,
let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some
charge, and then start with step 2 again.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen.
When this screen appears you can release the Home button:
5. If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
6. Use iTunes to restore the device.
If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
Additional Information:
If you have a problem getting into recovery mode then try: RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode.
Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup. See this article for more information. -

How to input pictures from Motorola RAZR phone to iMac
Hi Guys,
I would like to know how to input pictures from my RAZR phone to my iMac. I used a USB cable that I ordered from AT&T and nothing happened. What software do I need for my iMac?
Thanks for your help,
blueheron11Hi,
I downloaded Bitpim but it doesn't list RAZRphone V3 as supported. I found the receipt for my phone and it is 4 years old. Bluetooth on the iMac is enabled, and is enabled on the phone. But when I enter "find me" on the phone, it shows it is paired with the iMac, but not connected. Then it says, it is not supported on the phone. I get an error on the iMac that says "An error occurred with the modem. Try reconnecting, if problem continues, verify your settings and contact your administrator." I'm lost.

HT201365 reverse the remote erase on find my phone
Thought my laptop was stolen - two days later the person who took it accidentally found me and returned it. In the meantime I had set it to erase using find my phone. Is there anything I can do to turn that off now that the laptop is back?? I have a backup but it's 5 days old, would love to avoid the loss of data if possible.
How can I pull the internet connection? It went to sleep with wi-fi on, when I enter my password and log on it will find the network and log on automatically. Is it as simple as going somewhere out of reach of any network it has a password for?

How to download pics from Verizon cell phone to ipad2?
How to download pics from Verizon cell phone to ipad2?
Is it an iPhone ? If it is and you don't want to go via your computer and iTunes, then the camera connection kit can connect the iPhone to the iPad and can copy photos to the iPad. Also there are photo transfer apps such as Simple Transfer which can copy photos between iOS devices via your wifi network.
If it's not an iPhone then you probably need to go via your computer and sync them via iTunes, or if there aren't that many photos and your phone supports it you can email them to yourself -
I just used "Erase" via "Find my phone" to erase and reset my MBP. It's caused my MBP to be locked. I entered correct 4 digit PIN and it seemed to accept it, but it won't allow use of the internal drive. Yosemite loaded. Anyone else had same problem?
Greetings Fraser Alexander,
Erasing your Mac shouldn't harm your internal hard drive but erasing does clear Yosemite and everything else off of it. Are you not able to restore it with your Time Machine backup?
iCloud: Erase your device
If you erase then find your Mac, you can restore the information on the Mac using a Time Machine backup. For more information, see the Apple Support article Recover your entire system. If you set an EFI firmware password on your Mac before it was lost, then erase it and later find it, you may need to take your Mac to an authorized repair center to unlock it before you can use it again.
OS X Yosemite: Recover your entire system
Take care,

How to download photos from my I phone to my I mac with 10.6.8 to an I mac with
How to download photos from my I phone 4 (7.0.3) to my I mac (10.6.8)
Is there a I photo App I am not seeing ?Yes, normally you would connect your iPhone to your Mac via the USB connection. After iTunes has finished its sync, then you launch iPhoto - a separate application which should be in your Applications folder.
After a brief pause, your iPhone should then show up as a device in iPhoto. Select the iPhone in the list and the photos on your iPhone appear. You then choose which photos you want to download to iPhoto on your Mac. -
