If my phone be stolen the stealer can turn off the phone without security code. Why?

Because that's the way it is designed. If you don't like it, don't purchase an iPhone, or tell Apple you don't like it:

Is it normal that, when you recieve an imessage, you can open the iphone without security code ?

Is it normal that, when you recieve an imessage, you can open the whole iphone without security code ? Just a small slide with the finger and you are in...

As mentioned, if you have your passcode set to "immediately" lock, then no, you should be required to enter it. Otherwise, if the message arrives before the passcode lock initiates, then yes, it will just open up with a swipe.

I know the iphone 4s can turn off the vibrate for all sounds, but is there a way to keep the vibration on for just phone calls (with the ringtone also on) but off for everything else?

No. All you can do if you have Find My Phone setup is erase the device or lock it. It must be connected to Wi-Fi in order for the commands to take effect.

I don't think there is an option for logging off in the Hot Corners, but check Mission Control System Prefs, Hot Corners button. What is set in the top, left.

Since I downloaded the recent software update, my battery charge lasts about 1/10 as long. Is there a new option that I can turn off that might be draining my charge?

There are just too many settings and combinations of apps and settings that affect battery use. Look through past posts for references to battery and read through them to get ideas. Some recent ones.. Turn down brightness and set Bluetooth off.

Is it possible to disable all funktions in the loocking screen, even turn off button (also for security reasons if lost cannot be turned of until code entered or battery low....)?

Hello, is it possible to turn of all functions in the locking screen? even the turn off function (also for security reasons / so that it cant be turned of while using find your iphone?)

Yes of course, i know... havn`t lost it but however makes it harder to steal (get bettery out of it or find an area with no cellular connection which are well developed here isnt that easy as just to turn off the device).
It only makes it marginally harder to steal. There are many ways to defeat Find my iPhone; turning it off is only one of them. Others:
Remove the SIM
Wrap in aluminum foil
Drop in a shoplifter's bag or backpack that is metal lined
Run the battery down
Connect to a computer and restore the phone
Requiring a passcode to turn the phone off would also make the millions of users whose phone was not stolen very annoyed that they can't easily turn off their phone.

HT4623 How can I retrieve my 4 digit security code? iPad is asking for it before an update and I have never had to use one before.

How can I retrieve my four digit security code? I've never been asked to use one before when trying to do an update.

There is no way to retrieve the 4 digit code. You have to restore the device if you don't know the code and you cannot unlock the device. There have been more than a few users that are asking about this and they are all saying the same thing that you are saying - they never set a passcode before.
What is the exact message that you are getting when you try to update?

Have you tried to reset it? Hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds and see if you can get it to reboot.

How do you turn off Auto-Sync without connecting the ipod to PC?

My Purchased Tracks was deleted off my computer, but I still have all of them on my ipod. I have iTunes 7, so I am aware I can transfer all my purchased music from my ipod to itunes. But I know auto-sync is set up, so when I connect it to my computer, won't it automatically sync itunes with my ipod and therefore delete my purchased music on my ipod? Can I turn off auto-sync without connecting my ipod?

A couple of ways...
Hold down the Shift + Ctrl keys when you plug in the iPod. (For a PC)
Or...
Connect your iPod, but before it starts to sync, click that little X on the right hand side of the ITunes display at the top of the page. (Next to the "Do Not Disconnect" message.)
Then click box at bottom that says manually manage music.
