I believe someone stole my iPod touch at school. I don't have find my iphone installed on my ipod, only on my iPad. If my ipod still shows on my devices, does that mean it hasn't been erased?

lost/stolen
No app on the iPod is required.
- If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected, on a computer browser go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
- You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
- If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
- Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police and school
- There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it unless you had iOS 7 on the device. With iOS 7, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.

If an email is in the recovered messages folder on mail, does that mean it hasn't been sent?

A little confused as to what the 'Recovered Messages' folder is on mail.
I'm unsure why some emails I'm sending are appearing in that folder... does that mean they haven't been delivered?
They aren't visible in the sent folder but I haven't received an email to say it can't be delivered.
If someone could just explain this folder and it's purpose to me, I'd be really grateful.
Thanks.

It means that the recipient either has iMessage turned off or is not connected to WiFi or 3G. The message will be held on Apple's servers for 24hrs, then deleted if not delivered.

No.

We have mac os x 10.6.8 I wanted to load iCloud but it is not in system preferences. Does that mean I cannot add it to my imac? If I can, what do I need to do?

You need 10.7.5 or later for iCloud.
Upgrading from Snow Leopard to Lion or Mountain Lion
You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99.
If you sign into the App Store and try to purchase Mountain Lion but the App Store says your computer is not compatible then you may still be able to upgrade to Lion per the following information.
A. Upgrading to Mountain Lion or Mavericks
To upgrade to Mountain Lion or Mavericks you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion or Mavericks (Free) from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
     OS X Mountain Lion — System Requirements
     OS X Mavericks- System Requirements
       Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
         1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 7,1 or later
         2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) —
             Model Identifier 5,1 or later
         3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 2,1 or later
         5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         7. Xserve (Early 2009) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
Are my applications compatible?
         See App Compatibility Table — RoaringApps.
B. Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
     Lion System Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
           or Xeon processor
       2. 2GB of memory
       3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
       4. 7GB of available space
       5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.

Hi LC_FC,
You have to have the Find My iPhone app installed on your touch, and you also have to have it turned on in the Location Services.

Apple (and no one else) can not assist (with serial number or iCloud) in finding a lost or stolen iPad.
Report to police along with serial number. Change all your passwords.

My daughter is missing and has her iPhone 4S with her. When I log into iCloud it says online, location services off. Does that mean there is no way for me to track the phone?

My daughter has been missing for a week and has a serious medical condition. She has an iPhone 4S and when I log into find my iPhone it says online , location services off. Does that mean there is no way to track the phone? Please I'm willing to try anything to get my baby home. Thanks.

Without location services, there's no way the device can be tracked. It's location services that provide the device's location to any apps that need that info, including the Find My iPhone service. Sorry.

I lost my ipod touch 4th generation. I don't have Find My iPhone enabled on it, but I have the serial number. How can I find it?

I bought it this year in February. I think I know where it is, but just to be safe... I'm going nuts trying to find it...
I have the serial number, and Find My iPhone is on it, but I guess it's not enabled because it's not showing up on my iPhone. I tried doing the Find My iPhone online, but it's only locating my iPhone, which I have. It's the iPod I'm missing.
Question is, can I find my iPod with just a serial number??

Did you pass code locked it? If Find My iPhone is configured, you can do a remote wipe. Any way, go to the police and make a report, change your password in iTunes Store, really sorry, that's not much you could do. Is it authorize? If so you can deauthorize in iTunes when you select iTunes Sore under STORE (left panel) and click your Apple ID (top right)

I have an iPod Touch but I currently don't have a PC. I found an app that would allow me to connect to my network drive and I was able to transfer music files to it. These files do not show under the Music app and I can't find any way to do it.

I need help from some Apple people. I have an iPod Touch and I wanted to load it up with some fresh music but I currently don't have a PC. I found an app that would allow me to connect to my 2TB network drive directly and I was able to transfer a bunch of music files to the iPod. Unfortunately, these new files do not show under the Music app and I can't seem to find any way to convince the iPod that they are music. I can play them through the file manager only. Android doesn't have this problem, any music I put on my phone is recognized as music and can be played through any of the music apps. Am I missing something or is Apple to inflexible to handle this?

You can't. The only way to get songs in the Music app is to sync from a computer or to download from iTunes.

Lost/stolen iPod touch!... Data privacy/Find my iPhone questions

Recently, I lost my iPod in public and believe it may have been grabbed by someone else. I know this because I checked Gmail and saw an access to my account from an IP address in the same location where I lost it, but far after I left the place. (at my college)
So, I immediately went onto Find My iPhone (hereafter "FMI"), and issued a remote wipe and a message. However, even now, two days later, FMI still shows "pending" for everything. This indicates to me that the device has not been powered on anytime in such a way that would have had it check in with FMI.
I did not have any on-device lock (unfortunately) so someone could have quickly started reading through information on the device, so I've already taken appropriate precautions. However, I do have a couple questions:
1. If someone stole the device with the intent to keep it, and simply immediately attached it to a computer and performed a Restore on it, would this not destroy its link to FMI and thus cause the behavior I'm witnessing? (It's of course always possible it was turned into a lost-and-found desk or something, and I'm having that checked on, but no success yet. There are several desks on the campus and they have to check all of them manually...)
2. In a similar fashion, would someone be able to simply go in and shut off the link to MobileMe, or would they need my password to do that? (e.g. go into Settings and remove the MobileMe account from the mail accounts section, thus disabling FMI). If they can do this without my Apple password, wouldn't this also make the device "invisible" to FMI?
For both of the above, I have to assume that the person did this while not in range of any known Wifi network. Since the iPod touch doesn't have a persistent connection unless it's near known Wifi networks, a person could easily steal the device, check that it works (which is why I saw the Gmail access), take it home and never register it to their own Wifi network until after they've disabled whatever would cause the device to react to FMI.
And, if the second question is true, then by disabling FMI they'd also be able to retain access to my personal information on the device, even though I issued the wipe command. (again, if they removed the MobileMe account PRIOR to connecting to their own Wifi with it)
Losing the device is tough, but I'm even more concerned about the idea that someone could still be accessing my personal data even though I issued the remote wipe command. (If they did a Restore, that's obviously not the case, but if they were able to remove the MobileMe account, it would be!)
I'd appreciate any advice anyone has about the more in-depth workings of this system...
Thanks in advance,
FM

- If they restored your iPod that will erase the FMI from the iPod.
- To my knowledge, they can just delete you MobileMe mail account from the Ipod (unless you set restrictions to prevent changing mail accounts) since that will delete the FMI
- As you found out, the FMI feature has a lot of loopholes.

I have got water damage in my iPod Touch 1G and I don't have a lot of money, so what can I do to get it fixed or get the water out or exchanged

I really need a good answer anything I can do btw its a second hand purchase and is there any home remedies, ANYTHING!!!!!!!!!

By the way, seal the rice bag with the ipod in it if you do it that way. But, I would let it dry for several days. If it was completery submerged I would blow more air on it. Only thing I would be afraid of is if water hasn't already gotten to the internal components, that the air might force it farther up. If it's not working, I would definitely blow the air on it.

Someone stole my ipod touch at school. how can i find it?

someone stole my ipod touch at school! How can i find it?

iPods get stolen at schools all of the time. Report it to school staff and to the police. You may want to give them the serial number of the iPod, which you can get from here: (you'll need to know the Apple ID and password that are associated with the iPod)

I downloaded Firefox.The logo is now in my Applications folder. Does that mean it is installed?

I downloaded Firefox. The logo is now in my Applications folder. Does that mean the program has been installed?

If you dragged it to the Applications folder, then it is installed; Firefox does not have an installer per se - you just drag it over. And yes, you can delete it from the Downloads folder - I actually have my downloads set to park themselves on the desktop; that way, I don't forget they're there, install them (or file them away) and then trash the download.
You can also easily check to see if the application is really complete by highlighting the icon and hitting the Command-I keys - that will bring up a get info window; the size of my Firefox app is about 77 MB - what does yours say?
For general info: some applications want you to simply drag them to the Applications folder - those are also the kind you can simply drag to the trash in case you want to delete them. Others bring up an installer which places components in the right places automatically - if you want to delete one of those, it's best to check for and use their own uninstaller.

No, it just means that you are running Lion and do not have Java installed. The update will simply check for any previous infection and let you know if it finds anything. If it doesn't find anything it will quit without any notices. In either case, it will then delete itself and you can sleep easy until the next one comes along.

When an app is downloaded to an IPAD and it says waiting, what does that mean?

When an app is downloaded to an IPAD and below the icon it says waiting, what does that mean?

Try this.
Double tap the icon of the Waiting app, and it shouild resume the download.
If that doesn't work:
• Log out of your iTunes store account. Go to Settings > Store > Sign Out Then press the Home button.
• Then press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously and don't release them when it brings up the Turn Off screen; keep holding them until the Apple logo appears.
• After restart, the Waiting should be gone.
