I am sorry to hear you had your iPhone stolen.
I'm not sure if this will be of any assistance but here is an article that might help
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2526
As far as being able to change the IMEI, I'm sure if the person hacking the iPhone is good enough that it IS possible. However your every day thief would not be that good I am sure.
It might also be possible for you to track the device yourself if you had enabled Find My iPhone in Settings>iCloud.

  • When I try compose an email, just get compose window icon stuck in windows taskbar can't actually enlarge it and use it

    Ok, details of installation below, so when I try compose an email, I just get a compose window icon stuck in the windows
    taskbar can't actually enlarge it and use it. If I restart in safe mode with all addons disabled, then it works fine. But
    If I restart normally and manually disable addons/plugins, then close and start normally again i.e not safe mode, it
    breaks, so does not seem to be an addon or plugin but rather something with the configuration.

  • I-tunes puts my music on the D:my music, but i want it on my c:programfiles. How can i change the destanation folder??Thanks

    Where can you choose the destanation folder for your music??
    It automaticly puts it in MY MUSIC on the d: but i want it on de C:

    The normal place to put the iTunes application is inside Program Files on your system drive, normally C:. The usual place for your iTunes library is inside your profile's music folder. You can put an iTunes library anywhere you like, but if you're not putting it in the standard location then I would recommend you move it to the root of your chosen drive, e.g. C:\iTunes.
    If the library is consolidated, that is all media is inside the iTunes Media folder which, in turn, is inside the main iTunes library folder, then move the iTunes folder and all its contents to your new location, then hold down shift as you start iTunes, click Choose and browse to the new location.
    If the library is not consolidated then consolidate before moving, or if that isn't practical due to the duplication that would occur, move the library folder & reconnect as above, then relocate the media using my ConsolidateByMoving script.
    If you only want to redirect where new music goes (leaving the library where it is) then edit the location of the iTunes Media folder under Edit > Preferences > Advanced. You can also consolidate existing content to the new location after editing if you wish. (Not an approach I'd recommend BTW)

    You may have to do this several times.
    Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school environment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    ‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
    Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
    I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
    Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
    1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
    2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
    3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
    4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
    5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
    6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
    7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
    8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just canceling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
    If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.
     Cheers, Tom

  • I just wanted to know how to stop loading of rss feeds automatically ? In prior to FF 11 the rss feeds would display if there was no internet connection

    I just wanted to know how to stop loading of rss feeds automatically ? In prior to FF 11 the rss feeds would display if there was no internet connection but now in newer version it would say live bookmark failed to load and doesn't display any feeds, in previous version it would atleast display feeds but in newer version it won't display anything:(

    hello Nitin1234, the handling of live bookmarks was changed quite fundamentally starting in firefox 13 & upwards in order to improve the overall performance of the browser - now rss feeds won't get updated in the background anymore but will only be fetched when you're actively accessing them. this is probably leading to the unwanted side-effect that you're experiencing, unfortunately i don't know any way around that.
    nevertheless please [[Update Firefox to the latest version|update firefox to the latest version]] (16.0.1 at the moment) to stay secure on the web, since there have been many [https://www.mozilla.org/security/known-vulnerabilities/firefox.html highly critical vulnerabilities fixed] since firefox 11/13!

  • I'm visiting new York(USA) for work on Sunday, just wanted to know if i can buy an un locked iphone from the apple store or not, since i'm not a resident, to the record we don't have an apple store at my country

    I'm visiting new York(USA) for work on Sunday, just wanted to know if i can buy an un locked iphone from the apple store or not, since i'm not a resident, to the record we don't have an apple store at my country.

    You can buy an unlocked iPhone at any of the 5 Apple stores in NYC. All are open on Sunday. Note a couple of things, however:
    US iPhone 5's will work on 3G in the rest of the world, but not on LTE because the US phones use different channels than other countries
    Be sure you say "unlocked", not "no contract"
    If it breaks it must be returned to a US store for repair, and if shipped to Apple it must be from and to a US address

    On my iPhone when I go on phone to view my contacts on the top left corner there is a circle with a arrow ( like a refresh icon ), just want to know what is it?

    That's exactly what it does, refresh your contacts. As an example if you add a contact on your Mac or iPad and you use iCloud to sync them altogether, then this can be used to refresh the contacts on your iPhone.

    P.S: For the iphone 4S. is there any difference for the one from online shop or the actual store?

    iPhones purchased from the online Apple Store in Australia will be unlocked. To the best of my knowledge, unlocked iPhone are not available from the physical Apple Stores at this time, though you can call the Apple Store in Melbourne and inquire.
    Note that the warranty on iPhones is not international, so if you purchase an iPhone in Australia and it needs service, you would have to ship the iPhone to someone in Australia to take or send to Apple for service and then ship it back to you.
