If you forward your calls to another phone and turn off yours, can the phone be tracked?

I have an iphone 5 and I want it not to be tracked but still get my calls. If I cal forward my calls to another iphone and turn off the one I dont want tracked, will it render it untrackable?

If you are seeing your device on iCloud's Find my IPhone section (even if it says offline), then it is tied to your iCloud Account, meaning you had that "Find My iPad" turned on in the iPad's Settings > iCloud.
If someone has it, they probably turned it off to prevent you from tracking it, but yes, you can use lost mode to lock up the iPad and put a message and phone number to call if found. If or when the device is turned back on, this message will be displayed on the iPad. iCloud: Use Lost Mode
Choosing the play sound option will put it in the system to play the sound when it is turned on again.

How can I play an album in order on my iphone? The shuffle is turned off both on the phone and when the phone is sync'd but it continues to shuffle.

How can I play songs from an album in order on my iphone 4? The shyuffle is turned off both on the phone and on the device when I sync the phone with my iMac but it continues to shuffle. All the songs in the album have been checked in iTunes.

Bill, you ignorant moron. Turn off the ultra secret hidden shuffle diabolically placed behind the album cover. Just tap the album cover to expose the sinister little shuffle icon on the right. Is it blue? Well, tap it until it is no longer blue! Also, make sure you are in your playlist and not the genius playlist.
Hope this helps! Now, who's ready for ice cream? Or do you want to "shyuffle" some more, you weirdo?!?

The the pop up for incoming calls "toaster" keeps dissapearing and i unable to answer the phones.

We have recently installed Lync and I constantly keep losing the "toaster" the pop-up for incoming calls. I can hear them though. I do have dual monitors if that helps. What’s
causing it? IT hasn't been able to identify the problem. I looked everywhere in settings and manuals to see how you can dissable, i am by excident this pop-up or inable it back. cannot find anything on it. Please provide possible scenarios.
I cannot answer responce group calls or any calls for that matter as i use only head set and do not have physical phone.
thank you!

Please sign in with another Lync account to check if the same issue happens.
If other Lync users have the same issue, please try to uninstall Lync client and reinstall it. Delete the related cached file.

how or what do i have to do to fix this?
and im at work so i cant get the serial number to you

my lock button is broken
If your lock button is broken, the only solution is to get the phone replaced or repaired. There is no way to reset the phone without a functioning lock button.
and im at work so i cant get the serial number to you
This is a user to user tech support form, not Apple support. The S/N wouldn't provide any solution regardless.

HT201263 I cannot get my phone to turn off - cannot get the red slide to show up.

The only "movement" I see from my phone after updating to the new softward is the apple and the bar below it. It starts to fill and locks up at 50%. I have disconnected the phone from the computer. What do I do?

Try a reset. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. The phone will reboot.

Itunes keeps telling my it can not read the contents of my iphone and that i need to reset it back to factory settings. I dont want to do that there is nothing wrong with my phone and my computer recongnizes that the phone is there.

I tunes keeps telling me that it can not read my phone and it wants me to reset to factory setting there is nothing wrong with my phone and my computer reads the phone. What should I do I already did the restart of the apple mpbile device service.

Do an iCloud-backup, reset the iPhone and restore is from the iCloud-backup.
Let me know if it works

HT1766 hi i am very dissapointed with my i phone i went on a six day holiday and of course i took several photos and videos... i was then using facebook on my i phone and all of a sudden the phone reset by its own and i lost all of the information..

i need help thanks

Oh boy! Acting kind of weird seems to be an understatement, aquaequus!
What type of troubleshooting were we able to do with you? I want to make sure that we can get some sort of resolution for this problem.
It is quite possible the battery door may get your phone in working order again. I'm not sure if the store has it in stock, but it is available in our warehouse for $14.99 which can be ordered via customer service.

I backed up my iphone and lost my contacts on the phone. Any ideas of how I can get the contacts back?

I backed up and sync'd my phone and lost my contacts on the phone, how do I get the contacts back onto the phone?

If you restore then you will lose everything on the phone including pictures etc
Have you backed up the phone previously to where your documents, pictures and contacts are saved?

Your call cannot be connected. Please check your phone settings.

Though my load balance is still sufficient enough to make outgoing phone calls, a recording which says "Your call cannot be connected. Please check your phone settings." keeps on playing.
Any idea on how to resolve this?

Did you verify with T-Mobile before you left that you had international dialing enabled?

Has anyone tried getting a new phone and then giving your old phone to someone else? because if you have, did you deactivate your iphone on your support profile before so? and will the person who gets it be able to activate it as thiers again afterwards?

That's all you have to do.

I was in the middle of using my iPhone 4 running on the latest iOS before iOS 6 and the screen went black but you can see it is still on because the color of the screen is blueish blackish like when your phone is turning off. Any suggestions?

Reset the device by pressing and holding the home and power buttons for 15-20 seconds until the white Apple logo appears.

How do you shadow a phone and is it possible for the person your shadowing to be able to tell?

How do you shadow your phone and is it possible for the person you are shadowing to tell?

Shadow? Are you referring to tracking the phone? If it is your phone, how are you tracking it? Are you talking about a stolen device?

HT1430 How do you turn off your phone if the sleep/wake button doesn't work anymore?

If a reset doesnt fix it (which it wont - that is likely a hardware issue), then get warranty service.

Just restored my iPhone from iCloud. My wife and I have always shared one iCloud ID. But since my restore, when a call comes in, it rings on both my phone and hers. How can I make this stop?

Just restored my iPhone 5 from iCloud. My wife and I have always shared one iCloud ID. But since my restore, when a call comes in, it rings on both my phone and hers. How can I make this stop? We had it all set up fine before the restore, and there was a trick to it in the settings. I've noticed that since my restore, her phone has picked up what looks like the symbol of a phone in the upper right corner of the display, right next to the Bluetooth symbol.

Hi Big Slick,
Welcome to the Apple Support Community!
It sounds like your iPhones may be using a new feature in iOS 8 called Continuity. The following article and information explains how to set up this feature for phone calls. You can review the information on the setup to reverse this effect. My suggestion would be to turn off FaceTime on one of the devices.
Connect your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac using Continuity
Phone calls
With Continuity, you can make and receive cellular phone calls from your iPad, iPod touch, or Mac when your iPhone is on the same Wi-Fi network.
To make and receive phone calls, here's what you need:
Sign in to the same iCloud account on all your devices, including your Mac.
Your iPhone and your iPad or iPod touch need to use iOS 8 or later. Your Mac needs to use OS X Yosemite.
All devices must be on the same Wi-Fi network.
All devices must be signed in to FaceTime using the same iCloud account. This means any device that shares your Apple ID will get your phone calls. Look below for instructions on how to turn off iPhone cellular calls.
Wi-Fi Calling needs to be off. Go to Settings > Phone. If you see Wi-Fi Calling, turn it off.
Cheers,
Joe
