I have Find my Phone enabled on iphone and ipod. Could a possible thief switch off location services to stop it being tracked? If so, an update must place the location services and icloud into the restrictions menu to be protected by the pin to stop it being turned off, surely????

Now find a way of stopping the thief removing the SIM, or simply turning off the phone or restoring it.
The "Find" feature is useful if you mislay the phone, but not usually of value if the phone is stolen.

This morning Find My Phone alert went off on all my devices connected to my Apple ID at the same time, is this a bug or should I be worried that my id is hacked? I didn't have Find My Phone app installed on many of these devices. Please advice. Thanks

I want to place a map pin in ios6. I place the pin in a rural area without an address. I add it to a nem in my contact book and the pin move 40 miles to a different location. Can I have a drop pin without an address?

I want to place a map pin in ios6. I place the pin in a rural area without a street address. I added it to a name in my contact book which does not have an address entry and the pin moved 40 miles to a different location. Not even the same zip code. Can I have a drop pin without an address? That way if I select a Contact entry it will still come up on the map in the right location.
thank you

iTunes match is a subscription that you have in when you were still in the UK. According to the terms & conditions you'll need to wait for the susbcription to end before you can change your country to iTunes Store USA.

Then you can't.

I can't use my Ipad because I can't remember my passcode. I tried restoring it, but I have "Find my Ipad enabled". I don't know what to do.

Help, I can't use my IPad because I forgot my passcode. I tried backing it up and restoring this but I have "Find My Ipad" enabled and cant get into the Ipad to reset this in ICloud. What do I do?????

FORCE IPAD INTO RECOVERY MODE
1. Turn off iPad
2. Turn on computer and launch iTune (make sure you have the latest version of iTune)
3. Plug USB cable into computer's USB port
4. Hold Home button down and plug the other end of cable into docking port. Do not release button until you see picture of iTune and plug (very important)
5. Release Home button.
ON COMPUTER
6. iTune has detected iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTune.
7. Select "Restore iPad"...
Note: Data will be lost

I have an iphone 4 n it is getting switched off automatically n switches on automatically , also it increases d volume by itself. Can anyone help me find out if its a hardware problem???

I have an iphone 4 n it is getting switched off automatically n switches on automatically , also it increases d volume by itself. Its a 1year old phone n the version is 4.3.2(8H7). Also the volume sign does not go off from the screen. Can anyone help me find out if its a hardware problem???

Do you have a case on your iPhone? It could be pressing the buttons on the iPhone and causing it to restart or behave unusually.
This Apple doc will help you find out if there is a hardware or software problem -> iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
You can always contact Apple and setup service through Express Lane.

First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
If that doesn't help I and the problem persists I would have a technician take a look at your iPad. Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

I have three iphones that synchronize with outlook 2010,each with a different profile.Two of them, running ios4.3 succesfully update contacts with the apropriate profile of windows/outlook (which is open at the time). The third iphone using ios 5.1 will always sync contacts with the admin account, regardless of the win/outlook account being open.

I have just created this account to tell you that nothing would change if you restored your phone.
The first NO SIM nuisance happened just a week ago. Nothing had been done to the phone before that. I pressed HOME + POWER buttons to restart the phone and SIM card was successfully recognized as if nothing had happened. Then I had a lucky week, not reminded of this issue at all.
Today, however, the same problem keeps annoying me. I've used the same method to heal the phone but all I have done seems more like a placebo. So I tried the ultimate solution, restroing it in iTunes.
Ridicuously, the moment I finished basic setup on the newly restored phone, the same NO SIM CARD INSTALLED message poped up.
So IMO, it's not what you should do to erase and restore your phone.
Plus, I called my native carrier and they said no such problems have been submitted. And since my nano SIM card is quite new (three months old), I'm not going to replace it.
I googled this problem and found something on a Hong Kong webpage. The author of that thread points out that there is a flaw in the SIM card tray that prevents the phone from successfully recognizing SIM cards.
And I really hope Apple could probe into this issue and give official solutions other than restarting / restoring the phone like an idiot.

How to find my lost iPhone if it is switched off

How to find my lost iPhone if it is switched off?

Go out and look for it. Any form of remote tracking, including find my iPhone, requires that the device be powered on, and that it be connected to the internet (wifi or cellular doesn't matter - but it must have an active internet data connection).
If powered off, it is as inert as a brick - no way to do anything via remote commands to it at all.

Okay so when I try to download apps on my phone a totally different Apple ID that I've never used before popped up. I've already tried settings under apps/iTunes and signed into my own apple account. But even doing so my apple Id won't show up

Okay so when I try to download apps on my phone a totally different Apple ID that I've never used before popped up. I've already tried settings under apps/iTunes and signed into my own apple account. But even doing so my apple Id won't show up

Try this:
Open the iTunes app, select the Music tab, then scroll all the way down to the bottom. Here you can sign out of any current Apple ID and sign into a new one. Good luck!
And just in case there is another Apple ID linked to your account you can check at http://appleid.apple.com.

My iPad became "Disabled" after one incorrect pass code attempt; When I try to do a restore from the computer I sync it with regularly, it says the iPad cannot be restored because I have "Find my iPad" enabled. What do I do?!

Before you ask, No MY iPad is not stolen. Just some freak accident I can't seem to fix. Thanks in advance. I hope I can get this resolved

If it's running iOS 7 with Find My iPhone enabled, in order to restore it you'll have to force it into recovery mode as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808, or erased it with Find My iPhone on icloud.com.

iPhones are warrantied in the country of purchase. If you purchased it in Ireland, take it to an Apple store in Ireland. If not, you'll need to send it to someone in the country of purchase and have them take it in to Apple for possible warranty replacement.
