How to stop your iPhone from recording you

There are 3 ways:
- Apple does it for everyone (likely very soon)
- Remove your battery (Hmmm, but how? It's built-in. Exactly, hmmm is the right word. The only way to properly disarm any device is to spray liquid nitrogen to freeze the battery rendering the device dead. (DON'T do it - it will kill your iPhone!)
- by using a GPS simulator to output fake signals indicating any time/location you desire. Also known as a GPS jammer. (least likely since it's illegal unless you're for example Jason Bourne, they are also very expensive and used by various militaries around the world). There are two frequencies that GPS work on: public, non-military use (1575.42 MHz) and one used only the US military (1227.6 MHz). Because GPS uses radio waves, these waves can be jammed, though very expensive technical devices and expertise are needed for this purpose. Again, these are illegal to own by any civilian but it does not mean we cannot talk about their existence.
Edit: (4th way)
- Stop freaking out, use a case with a built-in clip and attach it to your belt/jeans/etc. Safeguard it and always be aware of it and treat it as if it was your passport or something else or high value.

  • How to stop my iPhone from opening iPhoto every time I connect it to a computer?

    I want to stop my iPhone from opening iPhoto whenever I connect it to a computer. I DON'T want to disable iPhoto on the computers because I use different ones. I want to disable the iPhone from being recognised as a camera in any computer.
    TAHNK YOU.

    That's a privacy concern. So, if someone steals your iPhone, even though that person doesn't have the password, he/she can still have access to your personal files just by connecting your iPhone to any computer. That doesn't really make sense.

  • How to stop an iphone from "thinking" a phone no. is another iphone?

    I had an iphone 4 but then switched to a different device (ported my number out) and now I can no longer receive texts from my friend with an iphone 5 who used to send me messages using iMessage because the iphone 5 continues to "think" my phone number is associated with an iphone 4. Both Verizon and Apple are working on figuring out (spent a couple of hours) how to correct this with no luck so far. btw my friend can receive my texts but when my friend replies to my texts or initiates a conversation, it shows as sent on my friend's iphone but I never receive the messages.
    It has been so frustrating so as a last resort we are considering turning off iMessage altogether on my friend's iphone 5 because deleting my contact from the iphone 5 and reactivating iMessage has not helped correct the problem. Question: what can we do on the iphone 5 that can make it "think" that the phone number is no longer associated to an iphone? Or how do we simply turn off iMessage from the iphone 5?
    Any ideas will help. Thank you.

  • How to stop an iPhone from displaying in iTunes

    Hello,
    I have a question for the community.  My father-in-law bought my mother-in-law an iPhone 4s for Christmas.  I set up the iPhone for him using my laptop, now everytime she is over it shows up in my itunes.  Is there a way to stop it from showing up in itunes.  Its not an issue yet as its not backing up to my laptop yet.  I would like to set up her iphone to automatically sync to her desktop at her house.  However, I do not want her iPhone to back-up to my computer.  Thank you for any help you can provide.
    Scott

    I guess you have enabled WIFI SYNC for her on your iTunes.
    Now you need to get her iPhone to connect to your device.  Once connected, select her iPhone under "Devices" on iTunes, go to the right Pane, under "Summary" tab, scroll down to uncheck "Sync this iPhone over WIFI" box, then click the APPLY button on the lower right window.  After that you can disconnect and it will not show up on your itunes in future unless is connected with USB cable.

  • How to stop your Zen from locking up

    If you're sick of your Zen locking up each and every time you try to delete files from it, you can always do what I did. Hold it firmly in one hand and see how hard you can hit it with your other hand before the screen doesn't work anymore. Just a hint... not that hard. I forget what I paid for that 32G Zen, but believe me, it was worth every penny knowing I'll never have to deal with that piece of **bleep** again. It's been a horror show since the day I bought it. Creative... you've done your job well. You've made absolutely sure I'll never give you another dime for your crappy products. Every single problem I ever had with that retched thing could have been fixed with a single firmware update, but you don't seem to give a rat's ass about your paying customers. I guess I'll just have to go back to my way better iPod.

  • How to fix your iPhone 4 after you have been disabled from trying too many pass codes after the update? I haven't used a passcode in so long I can't remember it.

    I downloaded the new IOS 7 and it asked for a pass code to unlock it when it finished, however, I haven't used a pass code in so long, I don't remember what it is!  I have tried all I have ever used and still no luck. Now my phone is disabled and I can't use my new operating system! Very disappointed!

  • How to stop an iPhone from being hacked

    Can an iPhone be hacked through your iCloud account or email account (meaning your Apple ID). I have found disturbing things on the internet to monitor phones such as auto-forward.com. For about $70 you can monitor everything on a smart phone. Of course they're disclaimer is that being a parent, you want to make sure what your kids are up to and it says "not to be used for illegal purposes". But I am an adult and someone is monitoring me. My Apple ID password only works when this person wants it to work. My email and texts disappear.
    HOW DO I STOP THIS??  I have already traded my phone in changed apple IDs, the techs at the apple store found strange software diagnostics.
    Law enforcement is not very tech savvy. Can data forensics trace the person doing this? About $2000, but worth it to catch the stalker.

    Your Apple ID can be compromised. That would allow a miscreant to buy things using your account, access your iCloud information and potentially wipe the phone remotely. If your concerned about that, make sure that you use a complex password and 2 step verification. Make sure your recovery email account is also secure.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5570
    You should also put a password on your phone to prevent people from gaining physical access to it.
    Don't believe everything you read on the internet. In order to use such software on an iPhone, someone would need to have access to your phone in order to jailbreak it. If you restore the phone as new and follow the advice above, no one will be monitoring your phone (except possibly the government and they are not going to be deleting your texts and emails).
    Best of luck.

  • How to stop multiple iPhones from downloading apps from each other?

    I updated to the iOS 6 and now my iPhone is syncing with my moms. I downloaded apps earlier and her iPhone was getting them as well. I logged into my own Apple ID but it is still syncing on both phones.
    How do I make it so I get my apps and she gets hers?

    I tried uninstalling firefox and all of its components , restarting my computer , and re-downloading a fresh copy of firefox. I went through all of the things as far as installing and it said it would launch firefox as soon as it was done installing! And guess what? It went right back to that picture that you see above!! Not sure what is going but hopefully I can get this figured out... I love Firefox and don't want to use anything else!! Would it be something to do with Yahoo? I really like the Yahoo interface and have been using it for years! Never had a problem on Firefox before like this!! I just heard that yahoo has been kind if "intrusive" to some people.... thanks again!

  • Hey, constantly since I installed the iOS 7.1 upgrade, my iPhone has been constantly shutting down and I think it's really frustrating and I whant to know how I can stop my iPhone from shutting down so I can downgrade to iOS 7.0.4?

    Hey, constantly since I installed the iOS 7.1 upgrade, my iPhone has been constantly shutting down and I think it's really frustrating and I whant to know how I can stop my iPhone from shutting down so I can downgrade to iOS 7.0.4?

    7.1.1 is certainly compatible with the iPhone 4. Just try a reset first.
    Close all open apps by double-tapping the home button, then swiping up and off the screen with the app window (not the smaller icon).
    Reset your device: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss)

  • How do i stop my iphone from talking to me?

    how do i stop my iphone from talking to me!!!!????

    the post above me is a good way, but you can also do it in itunes.
    when your device is plugged in, and itunes (the program) is open.
    if you click on your device on the left column of itunes under the Devices heading. you'll see in the middle of itunes the Summery tab.
    scroll down and you will see some options.
    open itunes when this device is connected
    manually mange music and videos..
    etc etc.
    underneath you can turn off accessibility by selecting the Configure Universal Access button
    in the pop up window select neither from the options (voice over, zoom, neither)

  • How can I stop my iPhone from synching my contacts and groups lists twice?

    How can I stop my iPhone from synching my contacts and groups lists twice....I am using iCloud but am not sure how correct this duplication.

    Go into Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars. Is this happening at the bottom in the signature section, or in the header of the mail where your email address is? If it is the signature, then go to the Signature area of the Mail settings. If this is in the header, then go to the account in question and edit your account information to include your name instead of Johnny.

    How to stop the Calendar from editing your input?

    I am constantly finding that Calendar Version 8.0 thinks it knows what I want to type but it incorrectly takes numbers and days and times out of my input and changes my appointments. I hate this new supposedly "smart" feature. Even when I edit my event correctly a second or third time it rewrites my input incorrectly again. I have to use my iPhone to override the annoying editing on my mac. I am ready to find a new calendar program unless Apple allows users to input what they want without their information being incorrectly edited.

  • 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.
