My daughter lost (or possibly was stolen) her I pod touch
My daughter lost (or possibly was stolen) her ipod Touch (4th gen I believe) We've done everything to retrieve it but can's seem to locate it. I've ordered a new one, what is the easiest way to get her previous paid apps on the new ipod (also a 4th gen) I have the original case to the old one so I know the SN (not sure that's helpful or not) I have the find my ipod app but unless it hooks to the web i'm guessing that's not very helpful.
What I want to do is just get the paid apps from the old ipod to the new one. I'm not that swift with itunes but I'm guessing there must be a way to transfer them. Can anyone give me some pointers on how to do this?
Thanks in advance,
Peat

My daughter has set a password on her i pod touch and she cant remember what she set it as can someone help me is there a way i can reset it??
The ONLY way to reset this is by restoring the iPod Touch with iTunes, which can be done from the iPod Touch backup. The Passcode Lock is not included with the backup.
If there were another easier way to do so, there wouldn't be any point in having the Passcode Lock to begin with. -

Connect the iOS device to your computer and restore via iTunes. Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.

My daughter used her friends apple account to login on her ipad and then the mother of her friend thought it was being hacked and consequently tracked the ipad and my daughter lost all her photos. Can we get these back?
Your iOS device backup only includes data and settings stored on your device. It doesn’t include data already stored in iCloud, for example contacts, calendars, bookmarks, mail messages, notes, shared photo albums, iCloud Photo Library beta, My Photo Stream, and documents you save in iCloud using iOS apps and Mac apps.

My daughter lost her iphone. I can locate it with verizon family locator, as it is still working, but this doesn't pinpoint it well enough for us to find it. She did not have the find my iphone in icloud turned on when the phone was lost. Is there any way to change the settings on her phone from a pc so I can turn this on?
If the iphone is a device which is using the iOS 7.0.4 then the 'find my device' is turned on by default. With this being said if you will go to www.icloud.com and login with your apple id login which is assocaited with the device icloud will pinpoint the device within a 10 meter radius.
Good luck Friend. -

My daughter lost her iPod, what can I do to find it?
My daughter lost her iPod, what can I do to find it if someone turns it in?
Change her 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. -
Daughter lost all her photos from her ipad 2, She did sinc to macbook pro or her icloud. ipad froze and she had to restart it or something like that. lost pictures. Is there a way to restore them on ipad?
Unfortunately, you have done the equivalent of putting a bunch of photos through a shredder, for all practical purposes. Some of them may be recoverable, if you pay an expensive recovery service to take apart the iPad and read the data directly out of the hardware... emphasis on may. There are no guarantees.
If this were a Mac or Windows machine, you could download some file recovery software and use that, but that is not possible on an iPad. Apps are not given direct access to the iPad's file system. I doubt even Apple's apps have that kind of access. Apple would have to build a file recovery tool into the basic system, and they'll probably never do that because then people would expect it to "just work," which is an impossibility for something like this.
Sorry to be so strongly negative, but it's best you rip off the Band-Aid fast and give up on any false hopes you may have. Those pictures are gone, and even spending $800- $1500 on recovery will probably not bring all of them back, possibly not any. -

Max number of IP phones per blade
I have read in aCisco manual that the maximum number of IP phones is 18, assuming they use 15,4Watt. On a WS-X4148-RJ45V combined with a PWR-C45-4200ACV that leaves us with 30 ports we can not use for VoIP useing PoE. Or am I wrong?
