Question: I tried to download google earth to my iphone and its been 6 hours. The icon on my phone shows waiting. I don't think this will finish so I want to delete this icon. I hold down on it until it flashes but will not let you delete. What do I do?
There was a glitch obviously. I recommend a restart. While the phone is powered on, hold the power and home button. Keep them held down while the phone powers down and starts back up don't release till you see the apple logo.

I accidentally erased my phone from Find my Iphone App and I have a sim lock on my phone - now it wont let me restore. any ideas?
When I try to connect to itunes, It states ''The sim card of this phone is PIN locked - please enter the PIN code of your SIM card and connect again to iTunes" however I don't have the option to enter the Pin code on my phone as on my phone screen it states "your iphone could not be activated because the activation server is temporaily unavailable"
PLEASE HELP AND THANK YOUWith a sim lock,
you'll have to contact your carrier for the PUK code, as described here:

i lost my iphone and reset it all through find my iphone and after locating it and getting it back i can not turn the phone back on how can i fix this
Unless you had enabled Find My iPhone on it before it was lost then there isn't any way to locate it (it can only be turned on directly on the phone, it can't be done remotely). If you did enable it then you could try locating it either via http://icloud.com on a computer or Find My iPhone on another device - but that will only work if it's connected to a network and the device hasn't already been wiped and/or Find My iPhone disabled on it.
If you think that it was stolen then you should report it to the police. You should also change your iTunes account password, your email account passwords, and any passwords that you'd stored on websites/emails/notes etc. -

If someone finds an iphone and its being tracked...then if such person restores it and takes the previous icloud account off, can the phone still be tracked?
In what regard? Restrictions would not impede in iCloud. All they do are allow certain changes (like age-appropriate content on App Store to be changed), and to prevent some apps from being shown on the device if they aren't going to be used, for example, I have restrictions active on my iPhone with the Youtube App turned off so it doesn't show on my home screen, and youtube links don't open into it (i find the application clunky and prefer the website).
If the device is restored; Anything put in place by restrictions and the prior user are renderred null as the settings get completely erased. -

You iPod has been jail broken. Unfortunately you are on your own here. I can offer that you need to find out which method and software was used to JB.
Good luck...you're gonna need it.... -

Can someone find a iphone after its been "wiped" with the "find me" app?
Im sure this question has been asked time and time again but can someone find a stolen iphone after its been "wiped" with the "find me" app?
this was the first time this has happen to me :-(. i think its sad the lowlifes are going around taking peoples iphones (and other items). Not that any body cares im a student putting myself through school who saved money to buy this phone not even a month ago. i feel so confliced because i question if i shouldve taken that one call and replied to a text msg in the first place.... thank god for insurance but im a broke collage student so it only goes so far but i digress. i am open to any suggestions into what i can do to pervent this happing again. i do know about the find me app.
also im new to this forum thing; normally im just a "reader" of these things. so with that said, could you please post helpful information or thoughts i would greatly appreciate it. I thank you in advance!you should be able to still located your device. it can be found by using another device with the find me app. using the phone number should located it. although, people who steal these devices are usually smart about it. they will wipe the slate clean on phone and turn off the enable location function and just use it as a ipod touch basically and jail break it. yes it is sad that people cant keep their hands off of peoples things. but i would go to your nearest service preovider and let them know what happen. they will be able to do a location pin point for you if its not too late. i would do it , like.... tomorrow. good luck

is my phone still ok? i thought that it only took one hour to do a reset, its already more than three hours and its still not done. is this fine?
Hi, it all depends on how much data you had stored in your iphone, however since its the 3G version this could be considered normal for this type of device as it deletes every single bit of data as it doesn't use an encrpytion chip. If the phone takes more than five hours then I would start to worry and ask apple technical support.

It's really urgent that I know
Doubtful. The phone has to be turned on, have a data connection to the internet (wifi or cellular), and still have your iCloud settings intact in order to be tracked. If it's put in recovery or DFU mode, this won't happen as your settings and data are erased.

I can't find my iphone and its not connected to icloud
i really need help its not mine its my friends and shes letting me borrow it for the week help!
If you have previously set up/configured the FindMyIPod service in the iPod's settings, you might be able to track it that way by going to www.icloud.com and signing in with your Apple ID. Then click the FindMyiPod icon. This also requries that the iPod Touch be still powered on, connected to a nearby Wi-Fi network whose location has been correctly entered into Apple's location database) and not have been restored by somebody else who my have located the device.
Otherwise, I'm afraid you are out of luck and will need to look for it as you would anything else you lose. You should report the lost item to the local authorities and change any and all passwords to any accounts you may have set up or accessed with the device. Apple can do nothing to help.

i've tried everything but i cant seem to find any way of doing it. can anyone please help me i just want to restore my iphone back to my ipad
Your iPad has to be running the same or higher version of iOS as you phone was in order for the backup to appear. If it isn't, you'll have to update your iPad first. There are some limitations involved in restoring an iPad to an iPhone backup to be aware of, including:
Camera Roll photos and videos are not restored. These can only be restored to another iPhone.
Third-party apps and their data will be restored but the app icon order/organization won't be.
iPhone-only apps will not be restored to an iPad.
