I deactivated "Search my iPhone" by mistake

Hi, I need help! I just wanted to deactivate "Search my iPhone" without any intention of locking my SIM, or deleting any information (I didn't want to be traceable). Now I cannot activate my iPhone anymore and all my data may have been deleted. The message says "your iPhone could not be activated, as the activation server is not available. Neither can I activate the phone through iTunes and the SIM is locked.
Did anyone have the same problem, or knows what to do???

There are several possible causes for the "activation server not available" message:
Your antivirus, firewall or router is blocking access to gs.apple.com
Your phone is or was jailbroken
Your computer was used to hack or jailbreak some iOS device it the past, and the process corrupted the network database on your computer
The activation server actually is  down. Very rare, and never for more than a few minutes.

    This is a user-to-user technical support forum. You cannot communicate with Apple in this forum. But to answer your question, Apple cannot track a phone for you. Only you can track it, and only if Find my iPhone was enabled on it, and only them if it is powered on and connected to a cellular or WiFi network.

  • Doing a Google Search on Iphone or Ipad chokes my wireless network!

    Almost every time I do a google search in safari on my Iphone5 or Ipad2 (happened with ios 5&6), it chokes my wireless network.  I am still connected, just not going anywhere.  Found this article that said to change DNS entries to googles 8.8.8.8 or 8.8.8.4 but IT STILL CHOKES! Here is the article, describes the problem well.  http://osxdaily.com/2012/09/27/iphone-5-wifi-problem-fix/
    Help Brainiacs!  I am yelling some very unladylike things upon each reboot (which solves the symptom but not the problem and leaves me vexed and mean.)
    Any suggestions? 
    Lisa

    Do you have the google app on your phone? if so i saw where somewhere else posted that if they had the google app open and not signed out of google in the app ( and not closed at the bottom, how you double tap the home button and close the apps ) then it would cause this issue also.

  • How can i search for iPhone panoramics in iPhoto 11?

    Hello all,
    Ive imported a lot of photos from my iphones and other devices.
    I need to find a way that I can search for panoramics just as the iPhone seperates them.
    I have tried searching using smart folders, this catches some, however the height and width changes on the iphone photos.
    also the search function does not work as expected.
    eg: Resolution Width - Is less than - 800   brings up most of my panoramics!
    Filters in iPhoto allow you to filter based on resolution, however all iPhone panoramics have a slightly different resolution in both width and height.

    Resolution is DPI
    Is it? Images on your computer don't have DPI, just length and breadth. There are no "inches" to have "dots per..." Size is measured in pixels. That's the same on your camera. It doesn't take 10 x 8 or 6 x 4 shots. It takes shots measured in megapixels. For instance 4,000 x 3,000 is a 12 megapixel camera.
    For more see http://www.rideau-info.com/photos/mythdpi.html
    See what I mean by a vague term?

  • Only a 3 fields are searched on iPhone?

    Unless I'm missing a preference, it seems Contacts on iPhone4 - iOS4
    only searches these 3 fields:
    firstname
    lastname
    company
    Is this possible? If so, this is amazingly limited. Is there a way to
    broaden searches to additional fields?
    Addressbook on the Mac searches most if not all your fields.
    Does iOS5 and/or iPhone4S search more fields?
    Thx,
    S

    From page 28 of the iPhone iOS5 User Guide
    App            What’s searched
    Contacts     First, last, and company names
    Mail           To, From, and Subject fields and the messages of all accounts
    Calendar    Event titles, invitees, locations, and notes
    Music         Music (names of songs, artists, and albums) and the titles of podcasts,videos, and audiobooks
    Messages   Names and text of messages
    Notes         Text of notes
    Reminders Titles

  • Cannot search on iPhone apps store

    Tried to search new games on apps store but no result was appear. Then check the category on the apps store and its fine.

    Same problem here, running iOS6 on iPhone 4s, app store functionality works on all tabs except search.  Search goes to white screen and just stays that way regardless of what app I put in search....I feel like this worked after I upgraded to iOS6 but just stopped recently for no reason?!?!  Any tips? Updates on the way? 
    Work Around:  Just download apps from iTunes for now on PC/Mac and sync to iPhone.

  • Different YouTube Search Results - iPhone vs Mac Laptop

    Hi,
    I was searching for the musci video by Asia, Only Time Will Tell and got lots of correct results on the Mac laptop using Safari but did not get any correct hits using YouTube search on the iPhone. Is there a reason why the search results would be different?
    D

    Youtube on the iPhone can only display videos that have been reformatted for it, and since not all videos have been you will get some different results than when you search on your laptop. Hope that helps =]

  • How to close message search my iphone?

    Yesterday, I had to use the app "search for may iphone" to localize my macbook pro, so I found it and started to use. Then I didn't use the ipad (where I run the app) until today. For my unfortunately surprise, a message of alert "Thiago's macbook pro found" cannot be removed even if I press "ok" many many times. I can't turn off too because this message doesn't allow me to press any app or function of the ipad. So, how can I remove this message?
    Thank you in advance!
    Thiago

    Have you tried a soft-reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
