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.

Apple ID disabled for security reasons but I cannot reset

So my Apple ID was disabled for security reasons a few days ago. I know I could easily reset it but the problem is that the email I had on that Apple ID is long gone, therefore I cannot reset. I contacted itunes support and they can't help me either because I don't remember what address I listed on my account. Should I just kiss all my purchases goodbye?

You might try contacting App Store Support: http://www.apple.com/support/mac/app-store/

Hello Wontsey & Welcome
On 6-4-06 I installed Norton Internet Security 3.0.1 for Mac. I thought maybe my problem was related to the firewall part so I unistalled it and turned the Apple firewall that came with the computer back on.
This did not help. In fact, when I try to open “Help” from the desktop menu the program opens and then immediately closes so I can’t access it.
I hate to have to tell you this Norton is the problem, looking into uninstalling it, the uninstallers that came with it are not effective so no matter you do not have the CD/DVD go to their site to get the Uninstaller
UseCocktail or OnyXto find the invisable files. Just follow Macjacks directive.
This is covered in this Topic thread,abandoning Norton Internet Security see the files Macjack speaks of in the topic thread. If you have questions post in the same forum a new topic this thread is archive, click on the link and then click"back to topic list". This is why i first came to Apple discussions, to get help with the mess Norton can make on Panther and found help as you will. It is not a Safari issue per say, rather a Norton problem.
Best of luck.

GPO setting "Hide and disable all items on the desktop" stop applying at policy refresh

In our organization we have the Hide and disable all items on the desktop setting enabled on our Windows 7 computers. As we are testing Windows 8.1 we have come across an odd behaviour with this setting: At log on the desktop is configured as expected: No
Icons. But after 90 minutes, or when running gpupdate /target:user manually, the Icons appear.
How can I make the setting stay?

Johan

Hi Johan,
After the icons appear ,I suggest you use gpresult command to check the result.
It seems that some setting overrided ""Hide and disable all items on the desktop".

"This Apple ID has been disabled for security reasons" Every few weeks

I have had an iTunes account for years with no issue. Lately, I have been receiving the dreaded "This Apple ID has been disabled for security reasons" message every few weeks on my iPad 2(currenly, my only iOS device). I go through the process of reauthorizing my password and info and it works again for a while, then happens again some time later. It's getting annoying. I'm not sure what's changed. Only two computers are authorized to use my account and I am the only one who can log into either of them. No one knows my info and I live alone.
The only thing I can think is that it's a bot spamming my e-mail address and passwords in an attempt to hack my account. If that's the case, am I really going to have to go through this every few weeks just to use my iPad? Don't get me started on how stupid it is to have to type in your password to update existing apps. And that's usually when I find out, not when I actually purchase one.
Is anyone else having this issue? I'm wondering if it's more widespread. Some time ago, a chinese app was mysteriously purchased on my account. Apple refunded the purchase and reset my password. That was about the time that all of this started. The reviews on the app left no doubt that it was happening to numerous people and I have no idea how they would have forced a purchase on so many user accounts.

PLEEEEEEEASE, please, please fix this!!
Everyone should keep a few things in mind:
This is an occasional problem affecting a vanishingly small percentage of the installed base. Look at the numbers of actual instances in just this thread, look at the gaps in time, etc.
Many many more ... me for example ... have never seen it at all. That doesn't mean it's not an irritation for those afflicted, but it does mean that it's not something likely to be seen as a critical issue affecting the whole base.
You aren't talking to Apple here in these user-to-user forums, at all, for any reason. This sort of communication is handled through their established Feedback links. If you can suggest a better way for them to handle things then make your thoughts and feelings known at —

My 5-minute-old AppleId account was disabled immediately for security reasons. I have followed instructions carefully and although I seem to be able to change my password, I cannot login using the new password bcs account disabled for security reasons!

It is probably something to do with the fact that I am in the Philippines, but what am I supposed to do? According to the support options I have to pay to open a support ticket. My account was not verified when it was disabled and I think I might be in some sort of deadlock in which the password reset won't work because I'm not verified, and the verification won't work because I can't log in.
I've never bought a single Apple product before and this has got to be the worst intro I could have imagined!

Solved.
After about an hour on the phone with US support (who were very helpful I must say) it turns out that if you do not have an iTunes account with credit card information and a billing address, you are very much more likely to get your AppleId account disabled "for security reasons". This begs the question of course as to whose security we are talking about here! But there you go. If you are an Apple first-timer, get an iTunes account, fill in all your details, and you should be alright.
Thanks for everyone's suggestions.

My iMac all of the sudden started going in and out of the dashboard, then started changing all files on the desktop to 2's. It also did this when having another window open. Do I have a virus?

There are no viruses that can affect Apple OS X.
What files do you keep on the Desktop? How many?
Performance tip: Keep the Desktop clutter-free (empty, if possible)
Mac OS X's Desktop is the de facto location for downloaded files, and for many users, in-progress works that will either be organized later or deleted altogether. The desktop can also be gluttonous, however, becoming a catch-all for files that linger indefinitely.
Unfortunately - aside from the effect of disarray it creates - keeping dozens or hundreds of files on the Desktop can significantly degrade performance. Not necessarily because the system is sluggish with regard to rendering the icons on the desktop and storing them in memory persistently (which may be true in some cases), but more likely because keeping an excessive number of items on the Desktop can cause the windowserver process to generate reams of logfiles, which obviously draws resources away from other system tasks. Each of your icons on your desktop is stored as a window in the window server, not as an alias. The more you have stored, the more strain it puts on the window server. Check your desktop for unnecessary icons and clear them out.
Keeping as few items as possible on the Desktop can prove a surprisingly effective performance boon. Even creating a single folder on your Desktop and placing all current and future clutter inside, then logging out and back in can provide an immediately noticeable speed boost, particularly for the Finder.
And it is why Apple invented 'Stacks' for Leopard.
Here is Apple's take on the subject:

Account disabled for security reasons - what about the music I purchased ?

Hello to you all Apple/Mac lovers ,
I have a problem : my iTunes/Apple ID was disabled for "security reasons". That I suppose I can understand - although I can't figure out what danger I represent for Apple and iTunes.
The problem though is that I purchased some music on the iTunes Store and now I need to re-enter my account ID and password to listen to it - but since the account was deleted the iTunes Store accept or recognize the ID/password combination and it tells me why : "This Apple ID has been disabled for security reasons.". This is how I first learned my account had been disabled.
How can I listen to my music now ? Thanks in advance for your advice !
Charles

Yes I got it to work your link was the right one. Here's how it works : the security reason was that I or someone else tried to use my account and entered a wrong password 5 times or 10 times in a row. That's why my account was blocked. So all I - or anyone - has to do is to ask for a new password using Apple's password recovery tool, iForgot. There was on link on that page you sent me, or on one of the help and FAQ pages it linked to, so that's how I got there and that's how I did it. Thanks a lot !!
