I want to know what i tunes can and cannot do e.g if i lose my iphone and some one does a factory restore would i still be able to track the iphone?

i just got a new i phone and i cloud came up and i wanted to know weather i can still find my iphone if i do lose it when someone has done a factory restore on it ? and what would stop me from finding it

iTunes can't prevent it from being restored. A feature of iCloud is Find my iPhone, which must be enabled under Settings > iCloud, and will let you remotely track it, as well as send a message, play a sound, lock with a passcode, or wipe it remotely; either at http://icloud.com or on another iDevice's Find my iPhone app (free on the App Store).
Find my iPhone can be disabled by thieves if they:
Remove the SIM card from the phone
Turn it off
Restore it
Disable Location Services
Put it in Airplane Mode
Turn of Find my iPhone
You can stop some of these options by going to Settings > General > Restrictions and set a passcode just for restrictions. Then under "Allow changes to..." turn Location and Accounts OFF. If you ever need to make changes you would need to enter the passcode and disable restrictions.

  • If I restore my new iPhone from the back up of my old stolen one.. Will I still be able to track the stolen?

    My iphone recently got stolen so I purchased a new one and plugged it into the computer and it gives me 2 options:
    1. Set up as new phone
    2. Restore from backup of "___'s phone"
    If I restore it from the back up of my stolen phone, will I still be able to track the stolen phone still? Thanks

    What I mean is still track my stolen one. I don't know if this will make sense to you but I'm thinking that if I restore the back up data on this phone..on my stolen phone it will like forget the icloud account or something and think this phone is the stolen one so when I go to track the stolen one, it will show that phone as the one I have now because I restored the back up from that phone.

  • Will I still be able to track the phone if it resets?

    If the person who stole my resets it back to its factory settings will I still be able to track it using Find my Iphone?

  • I have the mac laptop ibook g4,and i wanted to know what music downloader can i download to get free music besides having to use itunes?

    I have the ibook g4 laptop! what music downloader can i download to get free music?,so i want have to use itunes.

    Given the OS X versions last supported by the old PowerPC based G4/G5 computers, there are a few players that work with music sites for OS X 10.4.11 or OS X 10.5.8. I have not researched these, and many of the web sites that promise a free player or access to free music offer 'adware' laden questionable products, no matter what OS X version a Mac could run.
    For just music, the Radio player in the iTunes application can give you several choices of music types, to include fairly recent songs. This will use bandwidth and there likely is no native way in the computer to capture the audio; and without a legal source, a question arises concerning illegal filesharing and the like, which is not a topic friendly to these discussions.
    However there some great music channels in the Radio portion of iTunes player that do not require the store to listen to them; these are streamed from servers and you may be able to locate other streaminsg sources and add them to the iTunes Radio player.
    There were some shareware or limited use utilities that could record any sounds in your Mac, including beeps, clicks and keyboard sounds. And any noises from web pages, etc. And save them. But some time has passed since I had anything like that. It was like a built-in recorder, and with a Mac microphone, even more so.
    However anything software involves the limitations of your computer hardware's upper limit in OS X version. And be wary of sites with several download links that say free or download, since softonic genieo and others can install adware and other hard to remove ailment prone background software in your mac along with their promised product; and their 'uninstaller' also will add hard to remove background stuff in your mac. So does mackeeper and cleanmypc kinds of stuff. Avoid installing these along with hoped-for great promises.
    Sorry to not be of much help, however anything that may
    contribute to illegal file sharing is a void issue here...
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • If I delete my songs from my "Downloads" folder, have them in my "Trash" and then delete them from my "Trash", will I still be able to play the songs on my iTunes or will they be deleted on my iTunes as well?

    I want to clear some space on my Mac since it is filling up and I don't have much room left on it. I want to delete all my songs from my "Downloads" folder and then delete them from my "Trash" to free up space however, I'm worried that if I do this then iTunes will not play any of the songs I deleted.
    Will I still be able to play my songs on iTunes even if they are not in my "Downloads" or "Trash" folders?
    Thank you.

    All tracks in iTunes (if you use default settings) should be in various artist and album folders in the main media folder in the iTunes folder. You can right click a track to reveal its location in Finder.  If there's a copy there then it doesn't really matter what you do with other copies.
    I have never downloaded from iTunes but I thought it placed files directly in the correct locations, or is this some other downloads folder to which you are referring?
    Normally if you download a file from another source and add it to iTunes by dragging it there, or using the Add To menu item, it places a copy of the file in iTunes.  You can discard the original, but if you're concerned you can check which copy iTunes is actually using as above.

  • TS4006 Would we still be able to locate a lost or stolen iPad on iCloud if the SIM card is removed and replaced with a new SIM card?

    If an iPad was lost or stolen and the person who has it has changed the SIM card, would we still be able ot track it on iCloud?  Also would changing the SIM card result in a response "offline" on the iCloud?

    Welcome to the community.
    Changing the SIM, will not stop the phone being tracked. It can even be tracked when there is no SIM at all in the phone.

  • I want to know what I need and then how to take a pdf form I created in word and add the blue boxes so that anyone can type into my form

    I want to know what I need and then how to take a pdf form I created in word and add the blue boxes so that anyone can type into my form

    Hey john@adobe,
    Could you please specify how exactly have you created your form.
    You might need to have Acrobat installed on your computer to convert a word document to PDF.
    Do you have Acrobat installed? If yes, what version? If no, then please try using the trial version of Acrobat DC (latest version) and access its features:
    Download Adobe Acrobat free trial | Acrobat Pro DC
    Also, let me know what kind of blue boxes are you talking about.
    If you want others to edit your PDF form, then you need to make it a fillable form by choosing 'Form Editing' option from Tools pane.
    Let me know more on this so that I can help you out.
    Regards,
    Anubha

    You probably have Repeat turned on.  While playing the song, tap the cover art to reveal the additional music controls (see photo below).  Tap the Repeat control  on the bottom left until it turns white (white is off, blue is on).

    On my iPhone when I go on phone to view my contacts on the top left corner there is a circle with a arrow ( like a refresh icon ), just want to know what is it?

    That's exactly what it does, refresh your contacts. As an example if you add a contact on your Mac or iPad and you use iCloud to sync them altogether, then this can be used to refresh the contacts on your iPhone.

    You are right, but how could i send it to Apple? when the phone company first replaced my iphone they had in stock alots of iphones and they just sent mine back to Apple and gave me a new one, so all i did is to give them my phone, but now how could i sent it to Apple? and i cant send it by myself, and the store wont do that, its a lost for them.. so sending it to Apple wasnt an option from the begining.
    and for the record, i dont think the store where i bought it is an authorized shop.. its just a store who boughts phone's from Apple in a low price and sells it in much more money..

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    It looks like you have got an Early 2011 or newer MacBook Pro, so you can use 16 GB of RAM. You can buy more RAM at OWC or Crucial. Remember that you cannot upgrade RAM in MacBooks Pro with Retina display
    In case you have got a Mid 2010 MacBook Pro, you can only install 8 GB of RAM
