If your iPhone, iPod, iPod Touch, or iPad is lost or stolen what do you do? There are things you should have done in advance - before you lost it or it was stolen - and some things to do after the fact. Here are some suggestions:

My friend just had his iPad stolen at the airport. Any advice on finding it? Thanks!

My friend just had his iPad stolen at the airport. Is there anything he can do to locate it? Thanks in advance.

Unless he'd set up MobileMe / Find My iPad on it before it was lost/stolen, then no, there isn't any way to locate it. If he did set up MobileMe on it then he could try locating it either via me.com on a computer or Find My iPhone / Find My iPad on a another device - but that will only work if it's connected to a network and the device hasn't already been wiped and/or MobileMe disabled on it.
If it was stolen then he should report it to the police. As a safety precaution he should also change his iTunes account password, his email account passwords, and any passwords that he'd stored on websites/emails/notes etc.

I have just had my iPhone stolen

I have just had my iPhone stolen. I have an iPad and am worried that someone can access all my stuff. I am 64 and not technical and have tried to find out what to do from the help page, but I really need some simple guidelines on what to do. I have not got a lock on the phone, stupid me. I have stuff on the iPad and iPhone (cloud I think, but I don't really understand how that works anyway) HELP!

Good morning I received a 25$ itunes card as a gift yesterday, I know it was bought in the target located in 10880 Olson Dr on friday November 30th, but it says that the card has not been activated, currently I dont have the receipt can you please help me

Normally what you should do is go back the retailer from whom you purchased the card and discuss the problem with them. They should either correctly activate the card or give you a new one. Since you have no receipt, though, it's unlikely that Target will help you, so go here:
iTunes Support
and follow the instructions to report the issue to the iTunes Store.
Please note that everyone here is just a felllow user, so you should post no personal information as it will quickly become public.

I have just had an iPad mini but all my messages are coming through on my iPad and iPhone how can I stop this happening

I have just had an iPod mini but my messages are coming through on my iPad and my iPhone how can I stop this happening ? Do I need to reset my iPad ?

To prevent messages from reaching both devices you can turn off Messages on the device you do not want to receive messages but keep Messages on on the device you do want to receive Messages.
You might also look at this option for both devices.
Settings > Messages > Send and Receive > review the a riotous choices for how you can e reached and select the ones that are most appropriate for you and the device you are setting.

I have unfortunately had my Ipad stolen from me.I have not got access to a computer which I've used to back it up.So I'm just wondering if Apple would have my Ipad serial number?

I have not got the Ipad's reciept of purchase in my possession,so just trying to obtain the Ipad serial number from my IClouds account?I very much would appreciate some feedback!Cheers!Aussie Fella

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.

4 days - and still has not been activated

I have a BT Home Hub 2.0. And my BT Total Broadband was supposed to be up on 21st Jan.
I have tried everyday, but nothing. I check my settings on the gateway, and it says nothing has been activated
Is this common?

If phoning them gets you nowhere, then you might want to try this:
Send an email to [email protected]
Include your BT account number, telephone number and a link to this thread.
My Motto:
Going to kill my HomeHub 2 very soon.

Today's update seems to have modified the interface for the search engine bar to icons rather than a list. Is there any way I can change it back?

I know everyone says they "hate" changes to familiar interfaces at first before growing accustomed to them, but I just personally don't care for the icon-tray look in anything I use (it seems to defeat at least some of the point of using Internet on an actual computer rather than on a mobile phone). I also sort of have a lot of search engines up there, not all of which I can immediately recognize by icon. I know it's a minor inconvenience, but having to scroll over an icon to see the name of its associated search engine is pretty annoying after being used to having a nice list that just told you all of their names. Any way that I can change it back to the old list-interface?

Thank you, much appreciated!

Trying to install acrobat. Entered in the Redemption Code and it says the purchase has not been activated. Best buy says it has and even included serial number on the receipt to use for activation. Still doesnt work

trying to install acrobat. I purchased this at Best Buy. The receipt contains an activated serial number to use when setting up the software. I entered this and it said invalid Serial. Because Adobe also gives me a redemption code inside the package to receive a serial online I tried this and it also says inactive redemption code. I called Best Buy and they say it has been activated on their end and the issue must be taken up with ADOBE.

Hi harmansmt,
