Lost iPhone - desperately seeking help

HI all who can assist,
I was robbed of my iPhone4 in Zhuhai, China a few days ago. I am very worried about my personal data etc in my phone. My questions are:
(1) sadly, my phone 3G and cellular data were off at the point of robbery. Two hrs after said event, when I had chance to contact my telco provider, I had also terminated my sim card. It was only then I found out about the "remote wipe" function, upon which I duly activated also. Obviously, the remote wipe couldn't work bec there was no Internet connection. If the robber removes my sim card, and subsequently uses his own sim card from china, would my remote wipe still work? Is the remote wipe function dependent on my sim card, or would it work as long as the phone receives its next Internet connection, whether thru cellular network or wifi?
(2) I believe I may have the 4-digit simple password lock on. Is this secure or is it easily hacked? I was not aware of the "erase data" function after 10 attempts until now, so obviously my phone wouldn't erase the data after 10 (hopefully failed) attempts. So what happens to my phone in this instance after 10 failed tries? When the thief tries to restore the phone using his iTunes there in China, would it restore the phone with all my data/photos etc on it, or would he only be able to restore it to the phone's factory settings only?
I am obviously very very concerned about my personal data etc on the phone, and have given up all hope of retrieving my phone now. Would deeply appreciate if any kind souls out there would help with my queries. As on now, my remote wipe request is still pending and I have not received any confirmation that my phone has been wiped.
MAny thanks.

Jack,
Thanks for your response. It has helped eased my mind somewhat.
As I have activated the remote wipe control, I reckon there's no way now for me to "track" the phone as your good self has suggested. I guess i can only await the day will come soon when Apple sends me an email saying that my phone has been wiped :(
You mentioned that as I may have enabled the password code lock (which sadly I'm not entirely sure I did; I'm still in a state of shock following the robbery, and can't rem with certainty if I have not disabled it just the day before, sigh), the default mode would be for the phone to erase the data after 10 attempts. I'm not sure that is the case. Think the default setting for "Erase Data" is off, even if pass code lock is set?
Thanks for your help Jack. It has been an extremely trying week for me. Apart from the loss of the iPhone, I also had my wallet taken, with several thousand dollars in it. All of which i am ok to forgo, but I can only hope and pray that the thief do not have access to all my data in the phone :(
Thanks again.

Lost iphone 5c PLZ HELP

Not fom Apple's standpoint.
Find My iPhone is the only way that you can track or locate a lost or missing device. If Find My iPhone isn't enabled on your device before it goes missing, there is no other Apple service that can find, track, or otherwise flag your device for you.
However, her carrier maybe able to help her further.

Desperately seeking help!! IE Crashes using Swing Applet

Hi,
I've created a grid applet using JTable and Swing in an applet. It runs great with data from a SQL database. I have at least 3 instances of the grid on the same page and other places on the site.
However, Internet Explorer crashes frequently throwing an error "Unhandled exception at xxxxxxx in IExplore.exe (Beans.ocx).
And the behavior is random and unpredictable.
I've been desperately trying to look for help to fix this.
Could someone please, please offer some suggestion?
Thanks in advance,
Anand.

I agree. Try upgrading your plug-in version to 1.3.1. Keep in mind though that after 1.3.0, Sun changed where the plug-in looks for the root certificate. If you're using a Verisign or Thawte certificate, you shouldn't have any problems. If you're using your own certificate, you'll probably need to import it into the cacerts file in the lib/security directory under the installation directory of your jre.
Hope this helps,
Mark

Desperately seeking help for displaying image on button

i wrote the following method to create and display a button with an icon, doesn't work and i cannot figure out what the problem might be and how to fix it, please help me...
clo :))
public static void addButton(Container c, String title,
ActionListener listener)
JButton button = new JButton(title);
button.setBorder(null);
button.setFocusPainted(false);
button.setBorderPainted(false);
button.setContentAreaFilled(false);
ImageIcon icon = new ImageIcon("anImage.jpg");
button.setIcon(icon);
c.add(button);
button.addActionListener(listener);
the parameter c is of JPanel type and gets added to a JFrame object,
the source compiles and runs but i see no image on my button, sigh :((!
PS(the image file is placed in the same dir as the source file).

Why buttons and labels might not show up the icon?
Either your image is not in the classpath and you are trying to load it as a resource: see
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/misc/icon.html
or you are running the java machine from a different directory that you expect it does.
or the file doesn't exist.
To prove that the system cannot load the image use the example in the above link and the url will be null.
URL iconURL = ClassLoader.getSystemResource("anImage.jpg");

Desperately Seeking HELP!

I can't find files and folders!!! in OS X Tiger
My partners MacBook apparently run out of memory and when opened again dock moved from left side to bottom nothing on the desktop - apart from HardDisk icon. When looking for the documents and old folders in the spotlight nothing is found. But when I went to Word -> recent documents I can find some. When trying 'save as' they seem to be either in their old folders or those that were saved on the desktop earlier - they seem to lay in a folder "desktop"!!!! How can I update the spotlight so it could find/locate them?! the previous folders and the previous desktop. !!!! very important!!! Where can I locate this folder "desktop" Now I'm afraid I made things even worse cause when I didn't find anything I restarted computer hoping that now that I deleted unnecessary files freeing some extra space it will go back to how it was before!!! it didn't! HELP!!!

To make Spotlight re-index a folder or a volume, do this:
• Open System Preferences -> Spotlight
• Select the "Privacy" tab
• Drag the folder or volume (such as your Macintosh HD icon) into the "Prevent Spotlight from searching ..." box. Wait a few seconds, then highlight it and click the minus sign at the bottom left,
It will take some time, depending on how much needs to be re-indexed, but that is the trick.
As for freeing up some disk space, here's some additional reading:

Good luck!

Desperately Seeking Help with AIR

Hello,
I LOVE my Air and am so dismayed that it is not working for me. Coincidence or not, it all started after Apple fixed my broken hinge. Up till then, it worked perfectly. Here is what's going on.
When I shut my Air down, it will not restart. The drive starts up, spins but the screen never changes from black. I put a snow leopard installation disk into the optional disk drive and re-installed the operating system on to the hard drive. It then boots up and I have the hard drive working with everything that was on it before I did the installation. If i put it to sleep and wake it up, it works. If I shut it down, I am back to where I started. I've reinstalled it 5 times with the same results everytime. But now it starts up and gives me the flashing apple with question mark sign.
What can I do? I would be greatly appreciative of any help. Thank you so much!

Take it back and tell them to fix it or replace it. I will be sending mine back for a full refund this week.
No way am i putting up with all these bugs...won't start...won't wake from sleep....won't charge when off....on a computer of this price.
This will be my first mac returned for a refund since I have been with them these many years, but this machine is bugged and there is no way i am going to live with endless trips to the repair shop only to see things get worse, especially after surgery. APPLE ARE YOU LISTENING?

Desperately seeking help with ipod touch sync issue

i had an ipod classic 32 recently updated to an ipod touch. i have windows xp media center. i tunes has over 1300 songs. initially tried to sync touch only would sync about 100 songs or so. then would get an error 50 "could be sync because of unknown error 50". shut down itunes tried again, got maybe another 50 songs then unknown error 50 shows up. now it will show up only on a few songs and then stops all together. tried to sync new songs to classic and worked fine. tried touch again same thing, error 50. it actually sync video (i only have one on there) and podcasts fine and it actually synce playlists but obviously are not complete because so many songs are not there but the names of the playlist appear on the touch. went to ipod store and they gave me another (still under warranty). same thing. sync few songs, get error 50 and stops. reinstalled itunes and reset touch. still not working. tried to manually sync was able to sync about 500 songs before i got to error 50 and then it stopped again. i have the most updated itunes and the most updated ipod touch software. does anyone know what else this might be? i am walking around with two 32 gb ipods just to hear my music. i bought the touch to upgrade but i feel like my classic is just better. it has all my music on it.

I am havving exactly the same problem, but I have both with my Ipod Touch and my Ipod classic. I neeed help.

Desperately seeking help with recording and playback error messages...

When I attempt to record a single track of audio (either with my internal mic or my Samson USB mic), I get the following message 15 to 30 sec into it:
CoreAudio:
Disk is too slow. (Record)
(-10004)
And when I attempt to playback that single track of a little bit of audio I recorded, I get the following message:
This song has too many instrument tracks to be played in real-time.
I have tried all the steps to solve the problem under "Optimizing Garageband" in the Help menu and nothing has worked.
I would greatly appreciate any suggestions that anyone has as to how I could get rid of these messages and actually enable myself to record a full song at some point in the conceivable future...

I'm guessing that your computer is too slow to record
real-time audio.
Of itself it should be fine - I still use a G3 desktop to record stereo with no problems at all - though GB may add an overhead. Still, this shouldn't be happening.
If you have other tracks playing
while you are recording this could be an issue,
especially if there are a lot playing.
Yes...
If this is the
case then you can lock the tracks playing by pressing
the lock icon.
This won't make any difference to audio tracks, only to MIDI tracks, and in that case it reduces demands on the processor but increases demands on the disk - which appears to be the trouble in the first place.
I agree that you should consider
getting an external hard drive. You can set the
record path to the external hard drive
Since laptop disks are usually slower than external ones this might help - particularly if your internal drive is very full.
which will
free up working memory to your computer.
No it won't, but it will take the strain off the internal disk, if that's what you mean. The memory might be an issue, which would be resolved by installing more RAM if possible.

Lost iPhone in Miami - help

Hi, I arrived in Miami last night, got my luggae & took a taxi to FT Lauderdale.
Left my iPhone in the back of the taxi, airplane mode on, WiFi & location off (dumb ***).
My question - is there anyway to enable location (& therefore messaging) using "find my iPhone" remotely.

If WiFi and 3G are turned off, there will be no way to track the iPhone. Sorry.
Regards.

Desperately seeking help. mod_jk problem with Apache 2.0.49 and Tomcat 4.1.

Hi All,
I am setting up the connection between Tomcat 4.1 and Apache 2.0.49 since past 3 days without success.
I downloaded the
JK 1.2
JK 1.2 Binary Releases
mod_jk_1.2.5_2.0.47.dll from apache site.(renamed it to mod_jk.dll as instructed). Now the problem is that after making the other settings in server.xml, httpd.conf,workers.properties
My Tomcat does not show any error when i uncomment the following code
<Connector className="org.apache.coyote.tomcat4.CoyoteConnector"
               port="8009" minProcessors="5" maxProcessors="75"
               enableLookups="true" redirectPort="8443"
               acceptCount="10" debug="0" connectionTimeout="20000"
               useURIValidationHack="false"
               protocolHandlerClassName="org.apache.jk.server.JkCoyoteHandler"/>
which is the code for mod_jk2. I don't understand this as I have download the file for JK1.2.
I am getting the mod_jk.conf file generated but it is generated with the following code.
<IfModule !mod_jk.c>
LoadModule jk_module C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache2/modules/mod_jk.dll
</IfModule>
JkWorkersFile "C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Tomcat 4.1/conf/jk/workers.properties"
JkLogFile "C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Tomcat 4.1/logs/mod_jk.log"
JkLogLevel info
<VirtualHost localhost>
    ServerName localhost
    JkMount /admin ajp13
    JkMount /admin/* ajp13
    JkMount /webdav ajp13

    JkMount /tomcat-docs/* ajp13
    JkMount /manager ajp13
    JkMount /manager/* ajp13
</VirtualHost>
AGAIN , here I fail to understand why it is generating the jk_module with forward slash.
(I HAVE GIVEN THE ps=/ property in worker.properties)
Once I add the path in quotes i.e.
LoadModule jk_module "C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache2/modules/mod_jk.dll"
I am able to start the apache server. but am failing in the connection test ie. not able to view the examples directory.
Plz. advise me , I am really going crazy over this stuff.
Thanks in advance,
Vishy.

I am confused, you need to pick modjk2 or modjk.
I would not use a precompiled modjk2.dll , I have and had security problems.
I would compile it from source. The instructions are in the source package.
If you use modjk, your on the right steps, modjk is more difficult to setup. than modjk2.
For modjk2 all you need is
LoadModule jk2_module C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache2/modules/mod_jk2.dll
and the workers2.properties in /conf directory, that's it.
Tomcat 4 and above come 'stock' with ajp workers turned on port 8009.
First make sure modjk is loaded in Apache.
Make sure all 30 lines of error page is uncommented on http.conf
You can do this by http://servername/SOMEbogusAddress
just go to apache page, then try and load a non-existing page
You should see at bottom of page:
Apache/2.0.49 (Unix) mod_jk2/2.0.4

I don't think you're on iOS 5, I think you're using iOS 6. That's the latest version.
Unless you've used iCloud to back up your documents, you won't be able to restore them. And for future reference, you don't have to uninstall Pages to update your iPad anymore. Sorry about this.

I just updated itunes and started to update my phone to iSo5 when wireless connection was lost on my laptop, I can't get it back and it says there are no networks available-router is working fine, am using it on my iPhone now. Help!

Reboot your router. You by chance dont have a netgear N300 WNR2000 router do you? I had one of those and would lose wifi on it constantly, Switched to a Cisco wifi router and it works much better.

i lost my iphone some time ago, is there any way to recover my lost iphone?i really need help..thanks before

Don't know what you mean by "some time ago", but unless you activated Find My Phone and the phone is still on, the answer is no. (Even if you ask 3 times).

I have lost my new iPhone. Please help. I have the IMEI no and all the details that comes at the back of the box.

I have lost my new iPhone. Please help. I have the IMEI no and all the details that comes at the back of the box.

Having the imei won't help you find your phone.
If you setup and enabled find my phone prior to losing it then go to icloud.com
If you didn't set it up - then there nothing you can do.
Call your carrier and let them know, change all your passwords.
