My iPhone was accidentally locked down (find my iPhone app)

My iPhone was accidentally locked down with "Find my iPhone" by the previous owner while I was recording a interview for my exams.I already contacted the previous owner, who said that he dealeted my phone device from his "find my iphone" app. The Iphone also inform that my sim-card is locked and asks for the pin-code. But it is not showing the telephones keypad.
Is it still possible to get the recorded file or is it deleted now that my phone is locked?
Hope you can help.

What you need to do is dependent on what is wrong with it. If the screen broke, or you have reason to believe that other hardware damage occurred due either to the fall or it getting wet, then you will need to take or send the iPhone for service. Apple does not repair iPhones, but will replace the entire iPhone for a flat fee; see the Repair Pricing section here:
http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/service/faq/
There are independent iPhone repair services that may be able to fix the iPhone for less. Do a web search for "iphone repair".

Hi,
Troubleshooting a start up script can be difficult. There are some third party programs that also keep logs of start up programs, however for Firefox this may be different.
Is Firefox a startup program? [http://www.winxptutor.com/msinfo32.htm]
Its also possible to check the Web developer tools for any scripts in a page: [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Tools/Debugger]
In the control panel there is also Administrative tools to view event logs, but this may be something a local technician can walk you through.

The phone is useless to you without the previous owners information. Either get a hold of the owner and get the info or return the phone and get your money back.

My ipad was stolen without the find your ipad app. is there no way to shut it down or trace ip address?

sol i guess..........

Hopefull you have the Serial Number. Give the S/N to the police. It will help if someone tries to pawn.
Without Find My iPad or password required, someone can easily erase all your files/pps & your unique info.

HOW AFTER PHONE WAS GIVEN AND TOLD TO APLE IT WAS GIVEN WHY DOES FIND MY PHONE APP PERSIST IN IT NOT RELEASING THE PHONE

tHE UNDERMINED ATTITUDE OF APPLE TO ERASE THE PHONE WAS GREAT AND GLORIOUS BUT IT WAS GIVEN TO ME AND NOW I CANNOT USE IT AND THE PERSON WHO GAVE ME THE PHONE HAS LEFT SO I HAVE A PHONE THAT IS A PAPER WEIGHT. aPLE IS A SCREW UP NOT THE CUSOMER.TO ME!

First, you should switch your CAP-LOCK OFF because it's rude and meant you're shouting.
Since IOS 7, there's this Activation Lock feature to stop thief re-using the iPhone. It cannot be bypass.
if you do not have the owner Apple ID & password to switch it off, you cannot use the iPhone.

You are passing PKEY_EdgeGesture_DisableTouchWhenFullscreen where it expects IID_IPropertyStore.

New Ipod was accidentally locked with an unknown passcode - have tried restore process in I Tunes but still cannot unlock passcode - any suggestions?

You'll need to put it in dfu recovery mode, then do a restore. That will set it back to it's "out of the box" condition, without a password, then you can sync with iTunes...Here is an article that describes the process...

My iphone 4 photo auto rotation was not functioning, might be accidentally locked as I can see a locked symbol with a circle with an arroe surrounding it at the top right angle , next to the power % indicator. Please advise how to unlock it.

My iphone 4 photo/message auto rotation was not functioning, might be accidentally locked as I can see a locked symbol with a circle with an arroe surrounding it at the top right angle , next to the power % indicator. This function was working perfectly since day 1.
Please advise how to unlock it.

Swipe upwards from the bottom of the screen to open Control Center. You will then find the orientation lock in the top row, last icon on the right. White is on, black is off. Tap and turn it off. If you see the lock symbol, then orientation lock is on, and that is what is keeping it in the portrait mode.

My iphone was stolen, I used find my iphone app, and found that it was offline, however when tried locking mode option, I pressed remove device by mistake. Is there any way I can restore the iphone to my icloud/ apple Id again? No manual backup on laptop

The phone will automatically re-appear when it connects to the Internet. However, don't get your hopes up, as thieves know this & will make sure your phone never re-connects so you can locate it.

I've lost my iphone with passcode lock and find my iphone lock on but the wifi n cellular data was turned off so no way i can trace it so the only question remains is will the person who finds it be able to unlock it and use it as his own ?

is it possible to change imei number?
i've tried for so many times n still the phone is offline so i've set it to offline mode with my message but it never shows the last location why?

If the device is found, nobody can use it without knowing your Apple ID and password.
The phone will only show it's location if it is connected to cellular network or Wi-Fi. If those options are switched off, you can't locate the phone.
With iOS 7, Find My iPhone includes a new feature called Activation Lock, which is designed to prevent anyone else from using your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch if you ever lose it. It starts working the moment you turn on Find My iPhone in iOS 7. With Activation Lock, your Apple ID and password will be required before anyone can:
Turn off Find My iPhone on your device
Erase your device
Reactivate and use your device
This can help you keep your device secure, even if it is in the wrong hands, and can improve your chances of recovering it. Even if you erase your device remotely, Activation Lock can continue to deter anyone from reactivating your device without your permission. All you need to do is keep Find My iPhone turned on, andremember your Apple ID and password.
What steps should I take if I misplace my device?
If you ever misplace your device—whether it’s just lost or you think it may have been stolen—you should put it into Lost Mode immediately using Find My iPhone.
Lost Mode locks your screen with a four-digit passcode and lets you display a custom message with your phone number to help you get it back. You can also remotely erase your device if needed, and your custom message will continue to display even after the device is erased.
While Activation Lock works in the background to make it more difficult for someone to use or sell your missing device, Lost Mode clearly indicates to anyone who finds your device that it still belongs to you and can’t be reactivated without your password.
To put a device into Lost Mode, sign in to icloud.com/find from a Mac or PC or use the Find My iPhone iOS app.
For more information, read what to do if your device is lost or stolen.

I accidentally erased my phone from Find my Iphone App and I have a sim lock on my phone - now it wont let me restore. any ideas?
When I try to connect to itunes, It states ''The sim card of this phone is PIN locked - please enter the PIN code of your SIM card and connect again to iTunes" however I don't have the option to enter the Pin code on my phone as on my phone screen it states "your iphone could not be activated because the activation server is temporaily unavailable"
PLEASE HELP AND THANK YOU

With a sim lock,
you'll have to contact your carrier for the PUK code, as described here:

If it was stolen seven months ago, then you are a little late to do anything about it. Buy a new one.

I've been locked out my MacBook Pro, I was able to lock the MacBook with the find my iPhone app but I'm unable to unlock it with the app or by punching in the code directly to the MacBook, so far the apple store or reps over the phone can not help. I've called a third party retail store for assistance and the tell me I have to pay, even if I get it to work or not... So far nothing these apple "genius" will do to help with this product solution.
I know my passcode/password but I am not able to log in....
Is there anyone that can help?

I would guess the fan is the cause of the noise. Suggest you take a look at it.
This site has a wealth of information about getting inside a Macbook or Macbook Pro.

Does the original library file still exist on the computer? Hopefully when creating the new library it was done in a seperate folder as I do not believe iTunes allows for two library files in the same location.
