Lost new iPhone, enabled lost option online on icloud, old iphone acted as lost. Would the new iphone also act as lost?
My new iPhone has been stolen.
When I synced it to iTunes the first time, I decided to transfer all of the data from my old iPhone onto it, so they also have the same name.
I logged into iCloud and tried to locate my phone, then enabled the "lost" option.
I then turned on my old iPhone which acted as if it had been stolen.. (the message popped up on the screen, plus my mac notified me that the phone had been tracked, etc)
I was wondering therefore, if for my Mac they are the same phone? and if it is so, would the "lost" option be enabled on both phones?
Thank you so much for any help.
Thank you. The old one will stay reported?

I am working with datango producer (see datango.com) which depends on JavaScript to set up the training player that runs simulation content. Datango's browser check recognizes that I am running FF4.0, but indicates I should change the setting to hide the status bar, yet I cannot access that setting under Options > Content > Advanced JavaScript Settings. I could suggest an update to the preflight checks, but am not sure what to tell them. Can you help?

My girlfriend got a new phone recently as well and she was able to click something on her new phone that allowed all the setting pictures texts and etc to transfer to her new phone, even though her old phone was unaccessible. How do I do that for my phone? It's the same circumstance. I dont back up my phone like she does but I dont think she had done a recent backup before her phone died either. Someone please help!
You transfer the data (including text messages) and settings from your old phone to your new one by backing up your old phone and restoring this backup to your new one (see http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2109). This must have been what your girlfriend did.
If you never backed up your old phone and it doesn't work now, it's too late. -
i have recently lost my iphone 4 , it had icloud installed , which i was monitoring on the internet, but my phone wasn't turned on . i accidently deleted icloud on my pc , is there any way i can reverse this , to enable me to try to find my phone
You can simply login to iCloud: https://www.icloud.com and then go to Find My iPhone...but if the iPhone is turned off or restored to factory settings it won't show up.

lost my iphone. downloaded "find my iphone" to the phone from my mac using icloud. I was wondering if there is a way to turn the phone online from my computer. Since I don't have the phone, I can't set up the locator app to appear online.
If you did not activate Find My iPhone on the device when you had it, you will not be able to track it. The Find My iPhone app has nothing to do with it. That is only for trying to track another iOS device with it. Log into www.icloud.com and if you cannot see the device, you did not have Find My iPhone activated. If you see the device, but it says offline, then it could either be powered off or the battery dead. There is nothing that you can do without the phone in your hand about activation. Did you have a passcode on the device? Did you send a lost/wipe command? Do you have iOS 7 on the device. If you had iOS 7, then the phone cannot be restored and activated without your Apple ID and password. The device would be worthless to the thief. Change all of your passwords for accounts that you had on the phone.

I lost my Iphone and I stored my photos on icloud, how to get those data back? My PC also not working.
Welcome to the Apple Community Rahul.
Photos in photo stream...
You can log into your iCloud account on another computer or device and enable photo stream to see your photos. You should do this as soon as possible because photo stream in the cloud only keeps photos for 30 days and each day you delay, you will lose another days photos.
Photos in the camera roll...
If you kept a back up of your device you can use it to restore to a replacement device, this will restore all of the photos in your camera roll and isn't time limited. -
After the last update I lost a lot of documents I had edited and saved in my tablet. Any option to recover them? Now I can only access the documents of the cloud.
Hi,
Please take a look at one of the following documents to see if it answers your question about finding the files that are locally stored on your device.

For Android devices

Please let us know if you have additional questions. -
I had my photo stream on and my icloud all set up, i just had the screen replaced and they somehow lost all the photos off my phone, but why wont the photo's reload back on to my iphone now that im connected to wifi again, where are all my photos???
When photos are added to the photo stream album on a device (either due to a new photo having been taken or having been synced from another device using the stream) they remain in the album. However, the syncing process involves copying the photos to the photo stream server where they are kept for a maximum of 30 days, up to 1000 photos. If a device is reset or the stream is turned off or turned back on again (or in your case, the device was repaired), the photos that were on the device's photo stream album are gone and the only ones to appear are those that are currently on the servers (recall the 30 day limit).
If some of your photos are older than 30 days, then they are no longer stored on the cloud and hence are not synced down to the iphone.
Recall, photo stream is just a syncing service, it is not designed as a storage service for photos. Always sync photos to a computer for archiving. -
I just bought a new ipad and shared my documents in Pages from the old ipad to my cloud, but the only documents showing on my new pad is the ones that was not in folders. Have I lost my documents for ever?
Thank you, but after an hour with apple support on the phone we came to the conclusion that the documents are lost... So the lesson is, don't trust icloud as a back up solution! A month worth of work down the drain...

I lost my photoshop elements 7.0 serial number and i had not had it registered so i can't get it back. My old desktop broke and i would like to install photo shop on my new laptop. How can i get it back?
I would first go to your Adobe Account and make sure that all info in it was correct and then match up all S/N's with your records. If you find any problems, then make corrections.
If all matches, but does not work, contact Adobe and see if they still sell replacement DVD's for CS2. Adobe usually does, for a small price. Still, you will need your correct S/N, so you will probably be back on the phone to Adobe. When I once used them for a S/N problem, they were quick and did a perfect job.
Good luck,

My I phone got an update and I have lost my you tube, You tell me that I can download you tube, can I get the same version, so I don't have to learn something new? Also, how do I get rid of Passbook?
YouTube is no longer native in iOS. There are loads of posts on this, so the search bar can be your friend. There is a YouTube app in the App Store. Download it and you'll have YouTube.
You can NOT get rid of Passbook. It is a new Apple Native App and is built into the iOS. If you don't like it, you can put in a folder or on another page, but you can't delete anything Native. -
I thought my pictures was safe in the iCloud, but I was not aware of the 30 days and the 1000 pictures, so I lost quite a lot of pictures... is there any possibilities to find them again? I have only used iphone and ipad.
Not through iCloud, but are they still on your iPad or iPhone? Open Photos, then go to the Albums and see if they are still in the main Camera Roll rather than My Photo Stream. If they are in there, it would be a good idea to sync the devices to a computer so you can store the photos.

i am changing from an iphone 3G to an iphone 3GS and i was not offered an option to restore the new device from a backup of the old device - how do i reset the new device to allow me restore the data from the old one to the new one?
Go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content and Settings. This will return it to its new out of the box condition. Go through the setup screens again and you will be given the option to restore from a previous iTunes or iCloud backup (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2109).
