Password to turn off iPhone for security reasons
I live in Mexico City and we get our iphones robbed a lot, my suggestion is that the password could also block turning off the phone so we can use "find my iphone". It would certainly increase the security for us. What do you think?

2014 Macbook Air turns off intermittently for no reason.
Several days ago my Macbook Air started completely shutting down randomly, even if I've got 95% battery. It doesn't go through a shutdown cycle or anything, just suddenly a black screen. I'm usually able to just turn it back on but there have been a few instances where I can't get it back on. The only way I can get it to come back on after that is a combination of dumb luck and endless SMC resets. It seems that I don't have this issue when the laptop is plugged in to the charger.
From my perspective it seems as if there's a software issue. The battery is fine and the charger works fine. It almost seems as if somewhere along the line the software screws up and for whatever reason thinks that the battery is dead, which would explain why It doesn't happen when I'm running off of an external power source.
Any suggestions on how to keep this from happening?These instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.

ITOUCH TURNS OFF/ FREEZES FOR NO REASON!
my itouch that apple just sent me cause my broke turns off or freezes for no reason at all! why is this?!?!
I had a simlar issue with a fairly full battery. It'd loaded an app and assumed that this was the cause. Getting the iTouch to switch on was trial and error pressing the two buttons in sequence etc. I was pretty worried. That was a few days ago...since when I haven't been able to sync

Is there a way to turn sync on and off? For security reasons...
My car was broken into over the weekend and I was so happy my laptop wasn't in the trunk (as it usually is), but it made me start to wonder since I have sync setup on all 3 of my computers (2 towers 1 laptop), that if it had been taken they would have access to all my bookmarks and sign ins, even though I have a windows password on the acct I also know how easy it is to get past that with a few google searches.
I know I can change the sync password so tomorrow or the next day the updates won't continue to sync to that machine, but is there a way to sign in or sign out of firefox or my sync, so that maybe they couldn't just open firefox and access my email facebook yahoo youtube amazon and many other sites that the sign in info and whatnot is all linked.
I did try by changing my password on the main tower pc to see what it would do to the laptop essentially I can still access everything but it just doesn't update.
I am thinking of trying something like keepass would that work well with firefox and sync?You can change your Sync Key / Recovery Key which clears all your Sync data from the Sync Server and prevents a lost device from accessing your Sync account in the future. It does nothing about clearing your data on the lost device, though. You should change your Sync password, too.
Your password data is very important, bookmarks relatively unimportant other than a thief knowing your interests from those bookmarks. Keepass is one option, but have you looked into Persona from Mozilla?

Hello, is it possible to turn of all functions in the locking screen? even the turn off function (also for security reasons / so that it cant be turned of while using find your iphone?)
Mav-erik wrote:
Yes of course, i know... havn`t lost it but however makes it harder to steal (get bettery out of it or find an area with no cellular connection which are well developed here isnt that easy as just to turn off the device).
It only makes it marginally harder to steal. There are many ways to defeat Find my iPhone; turning it off is only one of them. Others:
Remove the SIM
Wrap in aluminum foil
Drop in a shoplifter's bag or backpack that is metal lined
Run the battery down
Connect to a computer and restore the phone
Requiring a passcode to turn the phone off would also make the millions of users whose phone was not stolen very annoyed that they can't easily turn off their phone. -

It is probably something to do with the fact that I am in the Philippines, but what am I supposed to do? According to the support options I have to pay to open a support ticket. My account was not verified when it was disabled and I think I might be in some sort of deadlock in which the password reset won't work because I'm not verified, and the verification won't work because I can't log in.
I've never bought a single Apple product before and this has got to be the worst intro I could have imagined!Solved.
After about an hour on the phone with US support (who were very helpful I must say) it turns out that if you do not have an iTunes account with credit card information and a billing address, you are very much more likely to get your AppleId account disabled "for security reasons". This begs the question of course as to whose security we are talking about here! But there you go. If you are an Apple first-timer, get an iTunes account, fill in all your details, and you should be alright.
Thanks for everyone's suggestions. -

I used to have the @apple.com apple ID. Everything was working fine, but then one day I entered my password and it was incorrect. I tried to reset it but nothing was working. Then I tried to "forgot my Apple ID" on iForgot and found that it was automatically changed to @mac.com. I entered my Apple ID and Password but then it gave me "your Apple ID is locked for security reasons". I tried resetting my password but I don't think I had put any recovery email and apparently I entered a wrong Date of Birth.
What should I do to re-access my Apple ID?
Many thanks!Thank you randers4,
I just got off the phone with apple.
I have to call 800-MY-APPLE and try to verify my Apple ID using my old password and a serial number from a device on which I used my Apple ID. Oh and @apple.com never existed, I have no idea how it got on my phone :|
Hope it works -

How can I turn off imessage for just one of my contacts? Me and my husband just upgraded (both had iphone 4), I got the iphone 5s and he got he note 3. All my text to him automatically send as a imessage. Ive tried to delete his contact and then went back in and reentered it but that doesnt work.
Have your husband text the word "stop" to 48369. This should take his number out of the iMessage system.
Go into your settings under messaging and make sure the box to send as an SMS if iMessage is unavailable is checked.
Hopefully this will get your messages sending/receiving to each other. -
