Is there a tracking/locator app that tracks your stolen or lost macbook?
Obviously you would DL this before it's missing.

If you never activated the Find My Mac option, the answer is no.

    As the King says, if your friends wifi router was relatively new, it likely has not been picked up by Apple's location based information database system and thus there is no location information associated with it.  So your iPad had no way of getting its location.
    The wifi location databases are traditionally updated by wardriving - literally companies employ people to drive around sniffing out active wifi signals and associating an approximate location to it.  Some companies also have web sites to submit that information if owners wish to (Apple does not seem to have one though), and the various companies with wifi location databases buy and sell their information.  Bottom line is though, it can take weeks, months or sometimes even longer for a residential router to get picked up - depends on where you live (more rural, likely the longer time it takes).
    When I moved from VA to NC it took up to 6 months for mine to reflect my new location (I checked it once the week I moved in, and then periodically thereafter, and it finally was getting it right after about 6 months) and I live in a pretty densley populated area (triangle NC).

    If you open the Maps app where does that say you are located?
    For location the iPod uses the location of nearby routers that are in Apple's database of routers and their location. Thus it appears that Apple's database is incorrect. You do not have to be connected to the router, just within range.
    Apple periodically updates their database based on information they obtain from iPhones, The iPhone has to have turned on the option to send info to Apple. no one has found another way to get the location of a router added/corrected.
    You can confirm that by going to well-know place with wifi like Starbucks or McDonalds                              

  • I am looking for a map app that will allow me to place pins where my clients offices are on a map and keep them save every time I open the app. Does anyone out there know of an app that will do this?

    "Motion 5" is your friend.
    Michael Wohl has a nice 15 video series (free) about Motion 5 at http://www.macprovideo.com/tutorial/motion5101-overview-and-workflow-guide (right side)
    This is a "teaser" series to sell his tutorials but it is really good. Just saw it yesterday for the first time.
    While all you want is just to place pins, realize that Motion has so much more. All kinds of effects and they can be really customized. Maybe put their street address, contact name, and phone number by the pin?
    Motion 5: cheap at $49.99 (just got my download two days ago)
    Motion 5: Support Community athttps://discussions.apple.com/community/professional_applications/motion_5
    If you're using the map for, say, deliveries, and use an iPad, what you could do is have a general map of the area imported into Motion, create the pins and whatever, then save (share?) it to the iPad.
    Disclaimer: I have virtually no relationship with anything connected with this tutorial product, developer, or anything.

  • Is there a photo album app that let's you add a photo to an album from the full-screen view of a photo, not the just thumbnail view?

    Is there a photo album app that let's you add a photo to an album from the full-screen view of a photo, not the just the thumbnail view?

    ...It's just really annoying to try to organize photos into an album when you can't see the full screen version of the photo... especially if you have several similar-looking photos, and you can't tell the one you want from looking at 40 thumbnails on an iPhone screen.

  • Hi! I'm getting an iPhone 4 soon, so my question is; is there some kind of "app" that can upgrade iPhone 4 to 4s?

    I'm getting an iPhone 4 soon, so my question is; is there some kind of "app" that can upgrade iPhone 4 to 4s?

    No, there isn't.
    The phones are different as in with different hardware.
    If you want a 4s then I would suggest in getting the 4s.

  • Is there a video chat app that can use the Charge's front facing camera?

    Is there a video chat app that can use the Charge's front facing camera?
    Edit: for video chat between the Charge and a PC. 
    Thanks!

    I tried Tango, Qik, and ooVoo. 
    The only one that can use the Charge's front facing camera AND video chat with a PC is the ooVoo.
    Works perfectly!
    Tango and Qik ad mobile-to-mobile only at this time.
    Thanks!
    P.S.   .... this really makes me wonder why Skype cannot work with the front facing camera if other
    companies can do it on the Froyo?  I guess Skype developers are really lazy(or have no incentive
    to make it work)

  • After upgrading to 7.0.4 yesterday on my iPhone 4, there are still 7 apps that are waiting to download, including Facebook. Is there anything I can do? These are apps I use frequently. Thanks.

    After upgrading to 7.0.4 yesterday on my iPhone 4, there are still 7 apps that are waiting to download, including Facebook. The phone was plugged in for 12 hours and it has had a Wi-Fi connection for most of the 24 hours. Is there anything I can do? These are apps I use frequently. Thanks.

    this is not phone or OS problem . its only your router DNS transfer function problem
    I have resolved the problem by myself. I just figured out that the problem due to the DNS transfer function in my router. If I set the iPhone 4S to use the DNS server as 192.168.1.1 which is also the ip address of my router it will have the problem until I set the DNS to some common DNS service, such as 8.8.8.8 from Google. I think it is the problem of compatibiliy between the iOS and the router.
      GOTO SETTINGS>>WI-FI>>click on informatio button(i) of your network>> change DNS to 8.8.8.8>> return
    all the best........

    Apparently, you need to activate the features [ by installing an extension] that are not supported in DW CC.  I suggest read this blog:

  • Is there a parental control app that is good out there?

    Is there a parental control app that is good out there?

    Mobicip and K9 are really good options. I like Mobicip especially because K9 doesn't offer the "Open in" dialog for files. If you're on an iPad, Olly is another really good option, though again it won't let you open files.
    Remember to delete all google apps, they are full of loopholes.

  • How Can You Track Your Ipod If Lost Using The Serial Number

    How Can You Track Your Ipod If Lost Using The Serial Number?

    The find my iphone app has nothong to do with it.
    That app simply allow you to find other devices using your ipod.  It has nothing to do with fining the device on which it is installed.
    If you set up the find my ipod feature that is built into your ipod and the ipod is on and it is connected to wi-fi and it has not been restored, then you may be able to get an approximate street address using icloud.
    Othrewise, it cannot be tracked.
