ICloud Remote Erase

I was having some problems with my iPod, and long story short: I erased it via iCloud. My iPod is now displaying a black screen with the white loading wheen in the middle. How long can I expect this to go on? And is there any way I can shorten the time it will take? If someone could just explain to me how the remote erase process works that would be great as well.

Try placing it in recovery mode with one of these programs and then try a restore

How long does it take for an iCloud remote erase to finish?

I have an iPhone 5 and I've used the erase iPhone option from iCloud, and the loading animation has been going on my iPhone for a good hour and a half. How long does it take?

I have an iPhone 5S that i couldn't factory restore from my iTunes on my laptop or even in settings for reasons i am not going to get into but i did an iCloud ears and would like to know how long it takes because i have been sitting for about 45 minutes with the loading animation and it doesn't seem like anything is going anywhere

When you use iCloud to erase your stolen iPod remotely, what information is erased?

I know the iCloud support website says this: "If your device is lost or stolen, you can erase the personal information (such as your contacts, email, and music) and settings on that device to prevent anyone else from seeing or using your information"
So I know that my contats, e-mail and music will be erased when I remotely erase my iPod, but will my iMessages, Videos, apps, accounts, etc., also be erased from the iPod?
Thanks in advance

Signing the iPod out of your iTunes Store account does not affect Find My iPod. But if the thief can get into the settings to sign out of your iTunes Store account, he or she can probably also cancel Find My iPod, after which you will no longer be able to track nor erase the device. And of course if the thief can get into your iPod to change any settings, then he or she already has access to all your data. Did you have a passcode set for the screen lock?
Regards.

HT1766 I lost my IPhone 4S this morning and want to increase my cloud storage so I can back it up when it finds a signal and then remotely erase it...I'm assuming the worst that whoever finds is will not callme or want to return the phone

I lost my IPhone 4S this morning and want to increase my cloud storage so I can back it up when it finds a signal and then remotely erase it...I'm assuming the worst that whoever finds is will not call me or want to return the phone. I went to icloud but it only govers me options to increase storage from my iPhone or a synced computer (mac or PC).

If the phone is offline there is no way to track it or send a message to it. You can place it in lost mode to lock it and send it a message (see http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mmfc0f0165), but this will not take place until the phone goes back online, if it ever does. If it does, you will get an email informing you.

Can i remotely erase my iphone after the service is suspended from the wireless provider?

Can I remotely erase my iphone via icloud after the wireless service is suspended?

As AppleClubSuport states, it needs a data connection to the internet. If your wireless service is suspended, it will have to be connected to wifi for the remote wipe command to be executed.

HT5467 Is there an application for remotely erasing informaiton, if it is stolen or lost?

I misplaced my ipad, so I remotely erased it. Then I found it, but now I cannot use all of the options in the settings. I have restored from backup, but it still is not letting me use all functionality. Help!

Would throwing it in Recovery mode and restoring as new clear it up?
(same for Ipad)
Step 1: Turn off the iPhone. To do this press and hold the power button till you see the “Slide to Power off” screen. Now slide the button to turn it off.
In case your iPhone is stuck in an infinite loop and the previous option is unavailable, press and hold the Power and Home button till the screen goes off. Remember to leave both the buttons as soon as the screen goes off and before the Apple logo appears again.
Step 2: Connect the iPhone’s USB cable to your computer but not to your iPhone yet.
Step 3: Now hold down the Home button and while you are holding it connect the USB cable. Keep holding the Home button till you see the Connect to iTunes screen on your iPhone(Screenshot shown below). iTunes will show an alert saying a device in recovery mode has been detected.
Here’s what your iPhone screen will look like once its in the iPhone Recovery Mode.

HT203167 I subscribed to iCloud before erasing my phone and lost much of my music in the process

I subscribed to iCloud before erasing my iphone and synced my iPad with cloud, only to learn that many previously purchased songs went missing in the process.
The missing songs are not displayed in iTunes Store/ Purchase, thus I assume they're lost forever. But if anyone knows of a trick or a method I can use to get them back, well I would love to know about it and I thank you in advance for your time.

Problem accessing iCloud remotely

I need to access iCloud remotely every now and then. It all worked very well up until a week ago. Whenever I type the URL www.icloud.com instead of the usual login fields I get a page suggesting to configure iCloud on my device. It is configured on all my iOs devices and my Mac (with latest versions). What's wrong? Thank you ;)

You cannot access the iCloud website on an iOS device (at least not on Safari, it may be possible on a non-Apple browser), only on a Mac or PC. On an iOS device you have to use the individual apps - Mail, Contacts, Calendar etc. - to access your data.

Can I remotely erase data from my macbook coz it was stolen?

Hi AnnaParas,
If you have an iCloud account and have activated Find My iPhone on your Mac prior to it going missing, you may be able to remotely lock or erase the device:

Remove Remote Erase/Lock Right on OS X Server 10.8 Managed Devices?

Re: Mac OS X Server 2.2.1
Recently, a friend had his iCloud account hacked into, and all of his devices were wiped and locked. They had to be taken to an Apple Store to be restored.
To keep this from happening for OS X Server managed devices, is there a way to restrict "Mobile Device Management" Rights, to remove Remote Wipe/Erase/Lock capability?

Bumping this old thread. We are a distributed company with independent contractors who enroll in MDM via Profile Manager. I'd love to disable these features so as to save the time I end up wasting trying to convince people that these "features" are not a threat to them.
Up until the recent Server 3.1.1 release, we offered our users the ability to just download the 'Settings for Everyone' profile without actually enrolling the device. This appeased the most security conscious users who didn't want the scary management privelages looming over them. As of this latest release, however, it seems this approach does not work any longer. The settings fail to install. I should note that we do NOT sign configuration profiles.

TS4006 Our ipad was just stolen from our car... can anyone quickly tell me how to remote erase or lock it?

Can anyone please help me to remote lock or erase our ipad?

You can only take actions if:
You enabled Find my iPad in iCloud settings
It has not been wiped by the thief
It is powered on
It has an Internet connection
If you did, go to http://icloud.com to take actions.
