Is my Iphone 4 really locked after I lost it and requested lock thru icloud?

I've lost my IP 4 2 days ago in a park. 1 hour after I noticed it i tried to reach it, the telephone was offline, searched the places I've been, couldn't find it anywhere somebody probably took it. I also couldn't locate it on find my Iphone, so I checked the request to receive an email when it is located. 24 hours after loosing the IP I've received an e-mail from iCloud that the telephone is located and that is now locked. Is that really true? The strange thing was that I've lost it (or it was stolen) in the park around 2:30 am (tuesday), and then after more then 24 hours (5:11 am wednesday) I received an e-mail like that? It's simply unbeleivable that somebody waited in the park more than 24 hours to turn on the IP, especially when the SIM card was deactivated and that person couldn't use mobile internet or WI-FI . Can I somhow doublechesk is my iPhone really locked?

Thank You for the welcome.
Well, there is no wi-fi in that region so I don't see how it could connect to the internet. The main point is can I trust that the phone is lock... that's my only concern now. I crossed over the phone, but wouldn't like the thief to transfer or do anything with my pictures, videos, contacts etc.

thx
The same way you would contact anyone. Call them, e-mail them, speak to them in person, write a letter. There are many ways to communicate with a fellow human.
No one here would have the contact information for a random seller of an iPhone.

Hello, crazier apple.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I believe you are asking about the new Activation Lock feature and you are trying to disable this so you can activate your device. The attached article will provide more information regarding this feature and the steps that need to be processed.

Iphone stuck in restore after upgrade of itunes and iphone

Hi Hope someone can help. Yesterday I there was a new software upgrade for itunes which I did, When I connected my iphone to sync straight after itune upgrade I was also prompted with new software for the iphone this fell over in the process, The phone now wants to restore but gets so far and stops with error 1603. I've tried reinstalling itunes. Any suggestions??

Welcome to the discussions,
did you make sure that all Apple software components where removed before you reinstalled iTunes? http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
After that, make sure that the USB drivers are installed properly and Apple Mobile Device Service is active: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538

I have "reminders on my iPad and iPhone and they sync thru iCloud can I get the same app for my desktop so all (3) devices will sync off of iCloud

I have "reminders" on my iPad & iPhone that sync thru iCloud. Can I get an "reminder" app for my iMac that will allow me to sync all (3) devices thru iCloud ?

Captfred,
The process you noted above worked to show the reminders on the IMAC,
However maybe you can help me with this problem.
The reminders I set in the Iphone4s/Ipad2 don't clear off the list on the IMAC even with deselecting show all completed reminders.
Thus on the Iphone4s/ipad2 the list is short and direct, but on the IMAC it is over 100 items any sugestions as to why the reminder is hown with the check mark but does not clear from the screen.
Thanks for any help on this from anyone

Sharing -my iPhone 5 was recovered after 6 months! And one strange question

Just wanted to share with everyone that my iPhone 5 was recovered 6 months after it was stolen, thanks to both FindMyiPhone and a company called ecoATM. It was stolen from my car on 03/05/14. someone (who says that they bought from a friend, didn't steal it) put it in a kiosk at my local mall in GA and got money for it - he also had to provide a photo ID and thumbprint when he made the transaction.... The company ecoATM notified me on 08/12/14 that the phone was at their processing center in California. They communicated with local law enforcement and not only returned my phone to me, but made an arrest. I gave up hope long ago. I had been using an older phone I had and was waiting for upgrade time.
Strange thing though, when I restored it, my Phone number is showing up incorrectly. I don't know how anyone would have used it with activation lock on. But a little rock number is showing up. Do you think that is just because perhaps it was sold to someone in that area and they tried to activate?

My guess would be that they put a different sim card in it and that you could resolve that by taking it into your cellular provider and have them put in a new sim card.

IPhone/iPad connection error after first login ok: The request timed out. (-1001)

Hi
I have installed SAP 9.0 PL 12, DI API all version, Integration Component of the SAP 9.0 PL12.
On my iPhone I have the 1.10.1 version of the app SAP.
I followed the directions provided in the note (also in 1602674) and in the forum, but nothing.
I start my PC (server with integration installed), do all the tests possible dall'integration admin and I always correct results.
Start app from my iphone, it connects to my DB but.... after a few minutes I get the error
"Connection Failed - The request timed out. (-1001)"
and then throws me out of the db.
If I try to reconnect, re-entering the password I have always the same error.
To reconnect, I have to restart the PC and the situation repeats itself (is the first logon, then I get the error and I can not reconnect).
Can anyone help me?
THANKS
NL

H Thusar
Update: I only changed the startup type of the service DI Proxy, Event, Integration, and instead of putting 'Automatic' I selected 'Automatic (Delayed Start)'.
I rebooted the server and I was able to connect the iPhone via app to my DB: I was about an hour, I created BP, made changes, displayed report.
I then did the logoff.
I tried to reconnect but nothing is returned the error 'Connection Failed - The request timed out. (-1001)'.
Even after restarting the server again, the app connects after about two minutes I get the error 'Connection Failed - The request timed out. (-1001)' and is no longer relates only after you restart the server.

My iPhone does not ring after 8.2 upgrade and sound gone on iPad

the sound as gone on my iPad and the iPhone does not ring when i get a call all after the 8.2 upgrade

Hi pr1uk,
It appears your devices are experiencing audio issues. The following article provides steps which may help you find a solution:
If you hear no sound or distorted sound from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch speaker - Apple Support
Follow these steps and test the sound after each one.
Go to Settings > Sounds and drag the Ringer And Alerts slider to turn the volume up.
If you can hear sound from the speaker, then the speaker works. Continue with these steps to find the setting or switch that's affecting the sound. If you can't hear sound from the speaker, contact Apple Support.
Make sure the Ring/Silent switch is set to ring. If you can see orange, it's set to silent.
Restart your device.
Open an app that has music or sound effects. Adjust the volume with the volume buttons or the slider in Control Center.
Go to Settings > Bluetooth and turn off Bluetooth.
If there's still no sound, connect a headset. If you can hear sound through the headset, remove it and clear any dust or debris from the headset jack of your device.
If the device is in a case, make sure that the case doesn't block the speaker.
Use a brush to gently clear any debris from the speaker and Lightning connector (or 30-pin dock connector). The brush should be clean and dry and have soft bristles.
Update your device to the latest version of iOS.
If you followed these steps and still hear no sound or distorted sound, contact Apple Support.
Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
Take care,

IPhone 4S : no reconnect after signal lost + battery drain

Maybe my title is confusing, so here the full story :
Now... I got my new 4S for two weeks now (replacing my 3GS) and I got a very bad issue with it. When I go to my mom's house located in a deep valley where there's no cell signal at all. But just a half mile away (when you leave the valley), the signal is 100% strong. So, neighter my 3GS nor my 4S get signal (voice nor data) but that's not a suprise.
The big surprise (the issue is) : when I got visiting my mom, but 4S say "Searching for network" and the battery drain quickier, but that's not the issue and I had the same issue with the 3GS. BUT, with the 4S, when I leave my mom's house and reach the area where the signal come back (to 100%), the freakin' P.O.S. don't want to re-connect to the network and continue to say "Searching for signal". I had to shutdown the 4S, then reboot, then it work fine (100% signal). The last time I visit my mom, I notice this situation quickly because I tried to use my bluetooth handfree in the car after leaving mom's home and I saw the 4S don't see the network signal.
But yesterday I leave mom's home later by the night and I don't tried to use my 4S on the way back to my home and I go to sleep quickly after that and I just drop the 4S on my night stand and go to bed. When I was to my mom's home, last time I used my 4S was on her WiFi network (to check email), my battery was like 90% charged, and this morning when I wake up... the 4S died and took like 20 minutes on the wall charger before booting at 5% battery (COMPLETELY DRAINED!).
Did some research on the internet, but is this a common issue of the 4S ???

Oh please. The iPhone 4S supports a lot more than you would expect from a 3G phone (2G technology supported).
If you've replaced your 4S due to signal issues that can't be explained by coverage or overcapacity, there's almost very clearly a network related issue, or a widespread Hardware/Software fault due to Apple (most likely).
All non-Apple 3G phones I've used re-establish 3G communication given the best outcome when weighing Advantages vs Disadvantages when switching from GPRS or EDGE.
My iPhone 4S will sometimes switch to EDGE from 3G in an area with good 3G coverage. At the same time, my Android device still indicate a good 3G signal with the H indicator as my iPhone shows an E and in rare cases an o. Rebooting, toggling Airplane on and off, or waiting some amount of time can temporarily restore the iPhone 4S's 3G reception.
I've replaced my iPhone 4S once, and I still have 3G/EDGE/GPRS switching issues that I originally had the first time around. I have yet to try getting my sim card replaced.
I believe that most signal issues come down to a few bugs.
I did a bit of research into these signal issues and I read that Apple are working on a fix to be released in the iOS 5.1 update which you can update using your iPhone in Settings > General > Software Update.
If the iOS update is not public by the 3rd, I will be testing a developer version to find any signs of a fix to these signal issues.
If you think you find a bug that Apple doesn't seem to be aware of then you can provide any information here:

How to unlock iphone 5 that locked by icloud linked apple id?

apple need to give a solution for people whos buy theres iphone from the local company like

Not gonna happen. Return the phone for a refund, otherwise you won't be able to use it. More than likely, this phone was stolen to begin with.
