Is there a way to turn on icloud without being near the device

My ipod was recently stolen. I don't have icloud turned on so I have no way to trace it. Is there a way I can trace it without turning it on or is there a way to turn icloud on from a computer?

You would have needed to enable 'Find My iPod' on your iPod Touch before it was lost in order to be able to locate it. Failing that, you cannot do so. (It would also have to be on, not wiped, and able to connect to a network - any competent thief will have wiped it.)

No Content will be affected...
If you no longer have, or access to, the computer(s) you want to deauthorise,
Log in to iTunes, go to "view your account info" on the itunes store, deauthorise all five, (Please Note: this can only be done Once every 12 months) and then re-authorize your current Computer(s) one at a time.

CS6 Multicam Edit - Is there a way to turn off some camera angles when the system gets strained?

I'm doing a multicam edit in cs6 and the 5 camera angles I have are straining my system. I have two main angles and three kind of back up go pro angles that I don't need most of the time. But I don't want to get rid of them either. Is there a way to turn off monitoring some of the angles at times so that video will playback smoother? Then when I need the other angles, switch them back on when I want? The video is so choppy with all 5 angles monitoring at once that multicam editing is basically impossible. I'm editing on what's supposed to be a very fast system at work but it's not fast enough...Thanks!

I'm not aware of any way to do this. You might want to invest in a battery case if this is a problem for you; our users here all have them.
Please submit your feature request to Apple at this link: http://www.apple.com/feedback; I agree it's a good idea.

IOS7: Is there any way to turn off previews of texts in the lock screen but allow previews in the notification center when the phone is unlocked?

In iOS6 text message previews would be shown in the notification center when the phone was unlocked and would just show up as "text message" or "imessage" in the lock screen...is there a way to change it so it's the same in iOS7? currently with "no preview" picked, whenever I swipe down in my notification center it just shows text messages with the contact name and not the message itself like it used to.

I've set up another user on my home Mac and left that one logged in. Now when I connect from work it asks me if I want to share the screen or log on virtually as my user. I think choosing the second option doesn't power up the screen.

Is there any way to turn off airport without removing the electrical plug and should I unplug it when not using it??

I just got the 5G Airport Extreme base station. Set-up was a snap! Maybe 10-15 minutes compared to a friend who got another name brand for his pc and took a couple hours, even having to call customer support! Been working great so far, but am concerned about never turning it off, not only about the possibe harm that could be done to the unit, but also about having an active, open Internet connection 24/7. Before I got my Airport Extreme I was using Ethernet cable with a cable modem that could be placed on "standby" whenever I was not using my Mac for Internet, but since AE5G doesn't have a power switch on the unit, have left it turned on rather than unplugging it by the electrical cord. I did turn AirPort "off" in the menu bar when not using it wth my Mac, but AE is still apparently constantly active, showing a steady green light. Would there be any harm done by plugging it in only when I want to use Wi-Fi, then unplugging it?
Thanks for the help!

That is a matter of debate, since there are two schools of thought regarding power status on a router.
One school maintains that you can turn the device on and off as needed. Makes sense for some folks. The advantage of this is that it might save a bit of electricity, although the Extreme draws very little power most of the time.
Another school believes that there is a reason why Apple did not even place an "Off" switch on the device. It's designed to run 24/7.
Leaving the Extreme on will place far less stress on the electrical components in the device since they stay in an "idle" state most of the time, drawing very little current. Powering any electrical device up sends a sudden rush of current through the device, which places far more stress on a device than if it is simply left on.
It depends on your priorities. If you want to save electricity, your decision is already made. If you intend to prolong the life of the router, then consider leaving it on, as Apple intended.
A compromise position might be to leave the Extreme on most of the time and power if off for long weekends or vacation periods when you will be away. Remember that the Extreme must establish all new network connections every time that it powers back up....perhaps another reason to simply leave it on.

Is there a way to turn off an iPhone 5 if the button doesn't work?

My iPhone 5 on / off button at the top doesn't work. There are ways to get around locking and unlocking the phone but is there an alternative to power off the phone?
Thank you.

I have just lost my Ipod touch gen 5 i've tried using the findmyiphone app but it seems like it need to have a wifi signal but they need to get into my ipod first to connect to internet is there any way i can track it without connecting to the internet??

is there a way i could find it if it connected to their computer??

Change your iTunes (Apple ID) password along with any other password that was stored in the iPod. If any passwords are associated with credit cards, contact the CC company and get your card replaced (with a new number). If any passwords are associated with a bank or any other savings institution, contact them also and discuss approprate action with them.
The "Find my..." function is pretty much useless if the device is in the hands of a thief. All that is necessary is for the thief to connect to any computer with iTunes and "Restore as new."
The only real protection you have is with the personal information on the device rather than the physical device itself. This requires action before the device is lost/stolen. If the device has significant personal information, it should have a strong 8-digit (or longer) password AND be configured for automatic wipe in the event of ten consecutive incorrect password entries.

Any way to play with Marvel without being in the beta program?

Hi - I tried using the search facility for FAQ and couldn't find anything. The only link to Project Marvel I can find indicates I need to register for the beta program. Is there any way to just play around with it without being required to develop a test application and other such stuff?
Thanks,
Doug

though you do need to register/sign_up to use project marvel, you don't necessarilly need to fully participate in the formal beta program. simply indicate in the section of the registration that says "Project(s) Description (describe what you intend to use this tool for)" that you'd like to play around with the tool. so long as you provide useful feedback if/when you encounter it, i'm pretty sure you should be good to go. as a bit of advice, though, creating a simple application or two from start to finish (with authentication and such in place) really goes a long way towards grasping the big picture. given that it can be a matter of minutes to create such a tiny app with marvel, it's hard to pass that big picture up.

Is there any way to turn off recalculation in Numbers? (The program is far too slow!)

Hi there,
I'm finding that Numbers is really (really!) bogging down because I have a large number of smaller tables (approx. 20) that I'm trying to link to a main spreadsheet. I've read online that Numbers will slow down because it recalculates all of the data every time you change a cell value. I really need to be able to use the system I've spent tons of time setting up, and the last step is to extract info from the individual data tables and have it display in the main spreadsheet. Can anybody help me figure out how to make this work?! Right now, there's no way I can complete the linking, as there's at least a 3-5 second lag/pause every time I try to enter a new cell value (and often, it's much longer!).
Thanks so much!

Given my experience, the most efficient brakes are column headers, the infamous columns A, B, C, D and E when they are defined as headers.
An efficient way to fasten a document is to move tables doing only calculations in a sheet different than the one in which we insert datas.

Is there a way to format a Jukebox Zen Xtra from the device itself?

Forgot to subscribe to the post

It's been a while since I used my Xtra but I seem to recall there's an option to format the player from the rescue screen - hold down the play button and press the reset button in with a paperclip and you should see a screen with an option to completely format the player. I may be dreaming it, but it's worth a try!
That said, if you can find someone with a PC running Windows XP and Windows Media Player 10 (alternatively, install Windows XP in VirtualBox and upgrade to Windows Media Player 10) you can install the latest "PlaysForSure" Xtra firmware from the download page. Once installed this turns the Xtra into a standard MTP device, allowing you to use it on any machine that supports MTP without having to install any drivers (this includes Windows with Media Player 10 or later installed, so Vista and later are automatically supported). However, you can only install the firmware from a machine running Windows Media Player 10 - if you try with Windows Media Player 11 or later installed the firmware updater will fail to detect the player.
I updated my Zen Xtra to the PlaysForSure firmware when it was first released and never had any issues with my player after that, in XP, Vista or 7 (and it made life much easier as I no longer had to rely on Creative's drivers, which were a little problematic).

Is there any way to use zen touch without being an admin on the comput

I looked for weeks and weeks with no solution. All I want is the simple
interaction between my 20GB zen touch and a pc with which I have
no admin priviliges. If I managed to get the files (nomad explorer/driver)
somewhere else would simply copying them over be enough to get it to work.
Or is it hopeless and you HAVE to be an admin? :smileysurprised:
Please helpMessage Edited by myname on 05-24-2005 03:8 PM

It works fine on my laptop but you know the way it is at work.
I thought I'd be able to download files and bring them home
to my laptop on the zen touch. ?260, 20GB and I can't even use
it to transfer files. Feck that :smileyvery-happy:

Is there a way to turn off photo sharing between three iphones?

We just purchased three iphones. Is there a way to turn off the photo sharing? We only want the pictures to be on the phone that took them, not shared between all three.

If you mean they are signed into the same iCloud account and are sharing the same photo stream, go to Settings>iCloud>Photos and turn Photo Stream off.

Is there a way to turn the wireless capabilities off on an AirPort Express? I have an AirPort Extreme as my main router and use the express to just extend it. I only really want to you use the express for hard ethernet connections

Is there a way to turn the wireless capabilities off on an AirPort Express? I have an AirPort Extreme as my main router and use the express to just extend it. I only really want to you use the express for hard ethernet connections. For whatever reason when I have my express extend my wifi at home the download speed from just the express is absolutely terrible, drops to about 1.5 mb compared to when it's on the extremes part of the network the speed goes up to 50-75mb. These terrible download speed really only affects the iPhones as my MacBook Pro usually gets the good speed no matter where it is. I don't believe there is anything wrong with my phone because if I am in the part of the house that uses just the extreme the download speeds on the iphone goes up to 50-75mb. As a note I have an AirPort Extreme on the top floor of my house (second floor) that's where my modem is located. On the first floor that's where one airport express is located. I also have another airport express in the basement that is accessed by my landlord. Any thoughts on how to fix this would be helpful.

It appears that your networking goals with the AirPort Express is to use it as a wireless Ethernet bridge instead of using it to extend the wireless range of your AirPort Extreme. The latter requires that the Express Wi-Fi radios be enabled.
If you intended to use the Express as a wireless bridge, you just need to reconfigure it to "Join a wireless" network instead of "Extend a wireless network."
For whatever reason when I have my express extend my wifi at home the download speed from just the express is absolutely terrible, drops to about 1.5 mb compared to when it's on the extremes part of the network the speed goes up to 50-75mb.
In an extended network, the placement of the extending base station is critical as it can only extend the wireless network at the bandwidth at which it receives it.
Please check out the following AirPort User Tip for details on optimal base station placement.
