    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You can only locate your device when it is logged into iCloud and 'Find My Phone' is enabled, additionally the device will need to be switched on and connected to a wifi or cellular network.
    Unfortunately, you cannot activate iCloud or 'Find My Phone' remotely.
    If the device is wiped by you or another, you may not be able to locate the device (although some have reported they can)

  • Can One iPhone Recognize Another Just By The Phone Number?

    Hello and Merry Christmas. I have an unusual question. I typed in a friend's cell phone number in the text message box on my iPhone and instead of getting an ordinary message in green, it said "iMessage" and when I sent the message, the text was in blue. I have not been in contact with this friend for awhile so I have no idea if he has an iPhone or not.
    Is it possible for one iPhone to recognize another one just my the telephone number? I am worried that he won't get my text unless he too has an iPhone. I message all the time and I have never seen this "iMessage show up before in the texting window??? If anyone can help me with an answer to this question, please do. There is nothing that I did differently, the phone did this by itself. Thanks in advance, Mike

    Yes, your iPhone can recognize another iOS device using iOS 5 (and therefore iMessage). As long as the other iOS device owner has iOS 5 and they have the iMessage feature enabled then whenever you text them it will revert to the blue bubbles to indicate that it is using iMessage instead of your text message plan.
    The only time it will revert to iMessage is if the person at the phone number you are texting actually has an iPhone with iOS 5. If they switch to a different device it will no longer  switch to the iMessage service. You don't have to worry about that. There are times that the iMessage service may be down or not working...in those cases your messages will send as regular text messages (unless you have that feature turned off in settings).

  • So I have a macbook with latest version 10.4.11 and bought an ipad, now i can't synch it neither can I download Itunes version 10.5 or higher as it is not compatible. Is there any other way than having to buy a new laptop? This seems ridiculous

    I have bought an ipad 2. My macbook is old mac os x version 10.4.11 and itunes version 9.2 which cant synch my new ipad as i need version 10.5 or later which however is not compatible with my mac os x. what can i do to synch my ipad without having to buy a new laptop?

    Maggie, if you go to http://www.everymac.com and look at the MacBook list, and find your machine, all 2006 and later had Core 2 Duo cpus so could use Mac OS X through Lion.  They only have 1 GB ram so that would have to be upgraded, can use up to 4 GB which would be preferred for Lion.  You could easily upgrade that machine to Snow Leopard, 10.6.8 is the highest, and raise the memory to 2 GB so it woud run better.  You can then use the latest iTunes and have easy syncing of your iPad.
    Memory can be found at Mac specialists like Crucial and OWC, http://www.macsales.com they guarantee their ram and have on-line videos on installing.
    Just some things to think about.

  • My iphone 3gs won't allow me to enter my email password.  The acct is all greyed out in the settings menu and now I can't get email.  I restored the phone through iTunes and did a hard reboot but nothing helped!!

    I changed the password on my Yahoo mail account and now the phone will not let me enter the new password.  The mail account is greyed out in the settings menu.

    Try deleting the account and set up a new one. Also make sure to not sync the phone with old email settings.

  • I had elements on another pc, i bought it over 3 years ago. my pc crashed and i lost the program.

    any idea how i can retrieve the information? it was under an old email that i no longer have access to.

    It doesn't matter if you have access to the email account. You can still use that address to search your adobe account. Go to the main page of adobe.com and look for My Adobe. Do you have your installation media? Which version of PSE is this?

  • HT201441 I bought my iPad second hand from a swap meet and i can not activate it and i do not know how to contact the original owner.

    I have tried to Restore it but it is not woking.

    Check back with the people that were running the swap meet, or the person that you purchased from. If you cannot make contact with the original owner, you will not be able to activate the device. It will be useless to you.

  • HT204053 How do I change the phone number associated with my Apple ID and messages on iPad

    How do I change the phone number associated with my Apple ID and messages on iPad

    If you mean for iMessage and FaceTime, the number is based on the iPhone number you set up iMessage and FaceTime on.  If that number is no correct, sign out of these services on both your iPhone and iPad by tapping the ID (in Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and Settings>FaceTime) and selecting sign out.  Then sign in first on your iPhone and confirm that the phone number is correct.  Then sign in on your iPad.

    You need to use the credentials for the iCloud account that was used to turn on the Find my iPhone service.
    If you can't remember yours, you can recover it here: https://iforgot.apple.com/appleid
    If you've been walking around for 2 years with someone else's account set up for Find my iphone, then you'll have to get hold of that individual. If you can't, there is no way to bypass activation lock.

    Hi
    You should ask your relative to physically take the iPhone to the store rather than shipping it because as diesel vdub has said:
    "No Apple store will accept an iPhone shipped to them"
    All you have to do is safely pack and ship your iPhone from the Philppines to your California-based relative.
    HTH?
