Hello
My iphone was recently stolen. I am hoping, by virtue of icloud memory used which I have viewed on a friend's Apple PC that my family photos are still on icloud. I assume that there is a chance my photos were uploaded automatically to icloud. My own laptop is XP only so I cannot access Photostream from my laptop.
Is there any way i can access icloud photostream and download all my family photos to my laptop?
Please help.
NigelNot with Windows XP, you need Windows 7 or 8, or a Mac.

My iphone was recently stolen. Is there any way to access my purchases in itunes (without having transferred them to a computer)? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
Hm, good suggestion, but I've actually already done this (and I've had a friend go through the steps with me). There is just NOTHING that is showing up under any of the categories in the cloud for downloading. The thing is, I'm just not sure if I enabled cloud-sharing or not on my iphone (although I know I've backed up my data through cloud on my iphone at some point).
Any other suggestions? -
My ex made an update on my computer with his apple id to my iphoto and i'll like to change it to mi apple id since its my computer. How can i do this tanks.
Delete and redownload iPhoto while signed into your Apple ID. For preinstalled applications, you may need to go to the Mac App Store main page, choose Support under Quick Links, and contact Apple.

I can see all the music that I downloaded in my account, but am unable to restore it to my iphone and itunes. Please help!
You buy one and only one download.
This is why it is very important to make sure that everything is on your computer and included in your regular backup of your computer.
You can try contacting itunes support and asking for an exception, but they are under no obligation to allow.

And I want to report it to the authorities. If I cannot access the box, and it doesn't show my serial number under "Devices" in my itunes, is there another way I can get the serial number? I have called the phone company and they gave me the IMEI, would that be enough to track my old phone? I also have a serial number on the cord used to charge the phone, would that match the phone itself?
The serial number on the charger isn't the same, and the IMEI number usually doesn't help the police much since the IMEI isn't immediately apparently and most police won't know how to check or won't bother, though it won't hurt to give that number to them.
There isn't a backup listed in your iTunes -> Devices page? If not, then unless you have the box or the receipt showing a serial number, you probably are stuck.

The question says it all. I need to retrieve my password, but it is 6 numbers. My password for my mac and my apple ID would not work and I don't remember setting a password.
Without the computer you cannot retrieve or reset your admin password. The password for your Apple ID is something you set. You can reset that password, but you will need some computer to do that.
The Best Alternatives for Security Questions and Rescue Mail
1. Send Apple an email request at: Apple - Support - iTunes Store - Contact Us.
2. Call Apple Support in your country: Customer Service: Contact Apple support.
3. Rescue email address and how to reset Apple ID security questions.
An alternative to using the security questions is to use 2-step verification:

in Leopard Spotlight used to show you the path /location of a file when you stayed with the mouse over the result. As sometimes I just look for the location of a file not to open it like a mp3 file. It would be nice to have a opiton in spotlight to contorl or right click a file and then give the option to say show in finder. that only works when you have your results show up in finder first and takes a bit longer. or maybe in the new prieview window to show the loaation or give you opitons what to do with the file
Just an idea to spotlight even betterWhen you hover over a file in spotlight list (or select with up/down arrow) you can also hit command-R to open the folder where the file is located. Kind of like 'Show Original' for aliases.
But yeah, Apple really needs to just show the directory path on the hover pop-up by default. Obviously, when you do a search you'll most likely get several files with the same name - we need to see the locations to tell them apart. One of the main reasons to do a file search is to simply find out 'where the file is located' - not necessarily open the file. Seems pretty shortsighted to not show the file location in the search result. -
Hi...My Ipod Touch was recently stolen. In order to help the local police deptartment I need to supply a seria number for the Ipod. Of course, I did not wrtie down the serial number, but I have used he device on my Itunes account. My question: Is there a way to retreive the serial nuber of my Ipod touch from my Itunes account? Thanks you all....
Yes. See bold below
- If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
- You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
- If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
- Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
- There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it unless you had iOS 7 on the device. With iOS 7, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.

Hi I hope I am in the right area my ipod touch was recently stolen and although I am reporting it to the police< I think someone is trying to download apps. What can I do to shut this down. I am not sure I downloaded cloud.
Apple will not help
If you previously turned on FindMyiPod ins Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. You can then find its general location and wipe it. If the iPod has been restored it will show off-line forever.
Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod. -

My iphone 5 was recently stolen. I had the service shut off, but I don't know how to remotely wipe out my data from my phone! Please help!!
YOu can only do that if you had find my iphone setup and activated prior to having your phone stolen.
Then you log into icloud.com to remote wipe, but your phone has to be connect to wifi or cellular data to do that. -
