  • Sent mac in for repair, instead they replaced. Lost my iTunes Library any way to move my library over with out having the other mac? (or backed up files?)

    Help- my big screen MAC had damage so we sent it in under warrenty. well they replaced the mac with a newer model and of course we didn't think that would happen so we didn't back it up.. Now I'm trying to re-sync all of our devices. I can't seem to transfer purchases and I can't load my music from my ipod, ipad or iphone. Or my husbands devices-
    Is there anyway to change my library from the MAC that is gone to my new MAC? (with out any back ups?)

    You can look at PhoneView from www.ecamm.com - that will allow you to transfer from the device back to the Mac.
    You can retrieve any iTS purchases by logging into your iTunes account on the new Mac.
    You are responsible to b/u your data. When you sent your Mac for repairs there is likley a reminder in the paperwork that you are responsible for the b/u as you can never know what is going to happen during repairs.
    As for the other data - you are out of luck unless you can get Apple to return the original drive to you.

  • Managing add-ons: The "find updates" button is grey-out on the Extensions tab. How can I get it to work?

    At some point, it used to work, then, one-day (after an update?), it went grey and stayed that way. It still works friends who have FF 3.6.16 installations, but not for me. I've tried tweaking the profile, a new profile, and tweaking about:config (under direction), but naught helped.
    Any ideas? (An update to FF4 is not in the cards at this time, by the way.)

  • How can I find my iPod touch that got lost ? But I don't have the Find my Phone app .

    How can I find my iPod touch that got lost ? But I don't have the Find my Phone app .
    Please , help me ..

    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have to iPod play a sound via iCloud.
    - If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it.

  • My Mac has been stolen, but I have my iCloud account setup. The "find my mac" app has found the apartment block it's in, but I need an IP address. Is there a way to see the IP address of my Mac through iCloud?

    My Mac has been stolen, but I have my iCloud account setup. The "find my mac" app has found the apartment block it's in, but I need an IP address for the police to go and claim it. Is there a way to see the IP address of my Mac through iCloud? I've tried to get the IP address through Gmail and Dropbox but no success. Is there any software that updates automatically that I could find the IP address through?

    Shouldn't the IP address be on the box you bought the machine in? If you have the box, take it to the police as evidence that it's your machine. If I were you, I would set the firmware password when you get it back, but make sure you have the password written down in a safe place. If you forget it, there's only two ways to reset it. Either pay $400+ for the tool that can do it, or pay almost nothing for Apple to do it, I think it depends on where you live. The firmware password is this encrypted password and it can't be hacked either. The password prevents anyone from booting the machine into recovery mode, thus preventing them from restoring the computer to factory settings or performing any other functions. It's not stored in the hard drive so replacing that will be of no use either.
    I hope you get your Mac back and I hope this was helpful!

  • I have lost my iPad 3 (3G). I do not use iCloud and I do not have the 'Find my iPad' app installed. What can I do to find it? Is there another way to bring up a map of where it is?

    Although I have Telstra 3G
    I do not use iCloud and I do not have the 'Find my iPad' app installed. What can I do to find it? Is there another way to bring up a map of where it is?
    I dont know the opperating system but I only got it recently...
    I also have a mac book pro also without iCloud.

    Without Find My iPad having been enabled on it then there isn't any way to locate it - and that would only work if it's connected to a network and hasn't been wiped or had Find My iPad disabled on it.
    If you think that it was stolen then you should report it to the police. You should also contact your carrier and change your iTunes account password, your email account passwords, and any passwords that you'd stored on websites/emails/notes etc.

  • HT201493 When I use the find my friend app Its says ME

    When I use the find my friend app to notify me when my wife has left her class it tells me that I have left (John Doe has left) instead of telling me that friend ABC has left.  So if I am checking to see that everyone is on their way and I have Notify activated regardless who its reporting on it say I (John Doe) has left.  In short It just tells me that I have left no matter who I’m checking on. 

    Hi slash9492,
    You state you configured your iCloud account on your iPhone 5 but the Find My iPhone app says it's not registered. 
    Did you actually enable Find My iPhone on the phone?
    iCloud: Set up Find My iPhone
    Set up an iOS device
    On your device’s Home screen, tap Settings, then tap iCloud.
    If you’re asked to sign in, enter your Apple ID or, if you don’t have one, tap Get a Free Apple ID, then follow the instructions.
    If Find My iPhone (or Find My iPad or Find My iPod) is turned off, tap to turn it on.
    Tip: For added security, set up a passcode that needs to be entered before anyone can access the apps and information on your device. To set up a passcode, go to Settings > Passcode or Touch ID & Passcode. If your device has iOS 5 or iOS 6, go to Settings > General > Passcode Lock.
    Again, it's under Settings > iCloud > Find My iPhone (at the bottom).
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

  • Will the Find My Phone app work on Iphone 3

    Will the Find My Phone app work on the Iphone 3? If so, how do I activate it?

    If you have MobileMe, you must use the Settings pane in your MobileMe email to activate the service that way.
    If you have iOS 5 and an iCloud account, you can turn on Find my iPhone in that same manner (iCloud email address) without using the app.
    The application itself just shows you where your iPhone is, so this could work with other iOS devices, etc.
    Either way, you will still need to logon to me.com or icloud.com to track your phone (first two methods).

  • HT4759 Is it true that when setting up devices with the find my phone app you must use the same account for ICloud ? If so how do I delete a current account to make it read as the other ICloud accounts?

    I'm setting up my devices with the find my phone app. I have accomplished setting up 2 devices. The third I can't setup because I can't change the iCloud account.
    My understanding from reading that the iCloud accounts must use the same name on all devices. How do I change that account in my phone settings?

    You don't have to use the same iCloud account in order to track all your devices.  You just have to sign into the iCloud account being used on the device you are trying to track in order to track it.  When you sign in on icloud.com and open Find My iPhone, you will see all the devices with Find My iPhone enabled that are using the account you signed in with.  To track a device using a different account, simply sign out, then sign back in using the ID the new device is using.
    The Find My iPhone app works the same way.  It will display devices based on the iCloud account you sign in with on the app.  To track a device using a different account, sign out, then sign back in with the iCloud ID that the new device is using.

  • I share an Apple ID with my family can we still all use the find my friends app or do we need our own Apple ID's?

    I share an Apple ID with my family...can we still all use the find my friends app or do we need to get our own Apple ID's?

    To avoid confusion and merging data... it's always suggested that each person have their own apple id.
