Possible to undo lost/stolen flag?

Is it possible to undo the flagged as lost/or stolen option so i can go back to searching for the phones location?

With a MobileMe account and Find My iPhone enabled along with the Passcode Lock feature enabled which prevents someone from accessing anything on your iPhone, removing the SIM card prevents using the Find My iPhone features. The same if the iPhone is restored with iTunes as a new iPhone.

Possible to track lost/stolen iPhone without sim card?

I managed to lose my iPhone last night ( )and I think it may have been picked up by someone as it was lost in a bar and the bar hasn't got it. I've tried calling it but it just goes straight to my voicemail.
Since it was fully charged, I don't think it's died. If someone has taken the sim card out and restored the phone, is there any way to track the actual phone?

HT1863 Is there any way possible to find my stolen iPads by using the serial numbers and not the cheesy find my lost iphone/pad app. Just turn off wifi, reset the ipad with a hard reset and no more tracker. Dissapointing since I paid $700 for it.

Apple (and no one else) can not assist (with serial number or iCloud) in finding a lost or stolen iPad.
Report to police along with serial number. Change all your passwords.

Impossible to de-authorising Apple IDs on lost, stolen, broken computers/devices.

This is more of a statement than a question, and to find the views of other itunes users, as I already know the official Apple stance on this.
You can only have 5 devices assigned to share any one apple ID. When you want to add another you have to de-authorise one of the previous ones. This can only be done on the device/computer that the authorisation was made from.
Here is my point.....
I am now stuck on 5 devises, when only 3 are in use. The other 2 devise can't send the de-authorisation request, as one is totally dead and the other passed to a friend.
Just like most people, I do not read all the way through apple agreements. Besides, some of the practical issues with using apple products, are not all within the agreement anyway. Some of this stuff is trial and error, just like most things in life. Or you find it when you come up against a problem. Yes, I would have de-authorised the computer that I gave to my friends daughter, if I knew that I had to do that. But, how many people really would know to do this? I am by no means, somebody who just hits install without reading options and clicking next like it was going out of fashion. But when I formatted the computer I gave away, I did not think for one minute that I would have had to de-authorise the ID, I really don't think many other people would either.
There are a few instances were de-authorisation is impossible from the original device/computer. Your device is stolen. Your devices was lost. Your device has a component change that has an impact on the authorisation. I think you get the point. So even if a person knew all the ins and outs to the apple agreement over itunes IDs etc. You could still be in my position due to the examples I have just listed.
It would be way easier for the owner of the ID, to be able to log into their apple account on line and manage their authorisations/devices. Not only would this option be easier and more efficient. But, and this is a big but. it would also be way more secure. A lost or stolen device will have a certain measure of risk to your security about it. OK, a third party may not know your password to gain access on the device. But why give any chance at all? Besides, in certain situations, a device will have other security issues that any of your apple info could be exploited for. Being able to use the lost/stolen device to gain access to your network and fleece your apple content, springs to mind for starters.
This whole situation really comes off as being at least an over sight by apple, and at worse just plain stupid, when you compare it to options for your itunes in the cloud account. Because, with this you do get the option to de-authorise any device from your web account, and does not have to be done on the device itself. Go figure!!!!!
It's really frustrating to say the least. I am a Windows PC user, who has worked on that platform since WFW, for doing pro audio and film production. But I have to be honest. For day to day personal use, you just can't beat the IOS platform and the hand held devices by apple. I love this stuff so much, that my home and personal entertainment needs are all fairly much covered by IOS. It may not be the very best, but it beats everything else hands down for convenience and intergration. Microsoft, Google and everyone else, all make great portable operating systems and devices. But for my use, IOS really does have the edge. This is why it so frustrating that the only solution to my problem. Is to wait another 7 months before I can de-authorise my whole account and start again. This is such a stupid solution, what brainiac at apple got paid for that idea?
Anyway, I would love to hear from other users on this point, or anyone from apple who can point out why this is the way it is, or if I am missing the point.
Cheers, Dave.

Neil.
Thanks for your really quick reply. I don't want to sound unappreciative, but I have a few questions in regard to what you have said.
How does this limitation help the reducution in possible abuse of the "iTunes Store authorization mode"?
Would this explination then mean that the "iTunes in the iCloud" authorisation options are at risk of abuse? As this option uses the very same method that you say is not used for " iTunes Store authorization model" to avoid abuse.
Why is this option of itunes store staff being able to perform additional de-authorisations, not mentioned on the user account pages, or in deed anywhere that I could see on the itunes site.
Again, if I am missing some obvious point here, please do let me know.
Thanks, Dave.

If an ipod touch is lost, stolen or broken and you get a new ipod can your software and media be installed on the new ipod?

If your IPod Touch gets lost, stolen or broken and is replaced with a new unit, can the purchased software and media be reinstalled on the new IPod?

Yes, you can restore your new iPod from the most recent backup from the old iPod Touch.
It is also possible to re-download purchased media from the iTunes/App store.

Hi, there is any possibility to block a stolen macbook and iphone?

These won't protect your data or recover the item but they are dog-in-the-manger possibilities:

Is it possible to track a stolen ipods usage via serial number

Is it possible to track a stolen ipods usage via serial number

No. The SN will only help identify the iPod as yours if it is recovered
- 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.
- Apple will do nothing without a court order

How to wipe iphone clean remotely if lost/stolen?

How do you wipe (destroy) all content on your iphone if it is lost/stolen? I haven't lost my iphone, but I want to know how if it is lost or stolen.
I know this is possible because I watched the keynote address of Steve Jobs and he explained that since the iphone has the capabilities of syncing with your computer remotely, you have the power to completely wipe your iphone clean if it is lost/stolen, yet I have not seen any information anywhere on how to do this. Obviously I can't plug it into my computer to wipe it clean if it is lost/stolen, so how do you do it remotely?

Just restore the phone in iTunes and set it up as a new phone.
is there any way to keep the apps I have bought on there?
They will sync back as they are store in iTunes.

Keep iPhone locked when lost/stolen?

I know I can set an auto lock with 4 digit code. I wonder what good will that do if someone has the phone (lost/stolen). Can't they plug it into iTunes and do a "restore"? Or somehow crack the code and steal all my info.
Is there a way to lock the firmware so it can't be boot/restored without a PW? Just like my MacBook.
I want to know a good way to make it unusable/unsell-able to anyone. Thanks!

Someone would need to get lucky with guessing your 4 digit passcode so a good idea to not use something like 0000 or 1111 for your passcode.
Someone can connect a iPhone to iTunes that is not their iPhone and restore the iPhone as a new iPhone, but they won't be able to access any of your data unless they get lucky in guessing your passcode or spend a great deal of time going through every possible combination.
The only thing you can do is use a passcode and if your iPhone is lost or stolen, call AT&T immediately to report it. If you know your iPhone was stolen, you should also report this to the police.

Can you report your iPod lost/stolen to Apple?

I believe someone has stolen my iPod Touch (5th gen.). I have it regestered with Apple...What can I do to find it/get it back? Is there a number I can call? Also, I've read that you can locate it somehow through iCloud. How is that done? All help is appreciated

No. Apple does not look for lost or stolen devices. Call your local police.
What To Do If Your iDevice Is Lost Or Stolen
If you activated Find My Phone before it was lost or stolen, you can track it only if Wi-Fi is enabled on the device. What you cannot do is track your device using a serial number or other identifying number. You cannot expect Apple or anyone else to find your device for you. You cannot recover your loss unless you insure your device for such loss. It is not covered by your warranty.

Lost Mode and Play Sound are "Pending." However, iCloud indicates that it connected and backed up to iCloud at a date that is 1 week after it went missing. How is this possible without locking (Lost Mode Pending an internet connection)

Hi,
My wife lost her iPhone two weeks ago while on vacation in London (cell service inoperative in foreign country). Using Find My iPhone app on my device, I activated Lost Mode and Play Sound. However, both are listed as "Pending," since it those actions require the phone to connect to the internet (wifi only due to no cellular data coverage.).
We recently returned home and purchased a new iPhone.
However, when looking to restore the apps/settings from her old phone using a previous iCloud backup, iCloud indicates that the old phone connected to iCloud and backed up the original phone at a date that is 1 week after it went missing. How is this possible without locking (Lost Mode Pending an internet connection)?
If the phone was activated and connected to the internet via a wifi signal, shouldn't it immedately lock, show up on the map, Play Sound, and send me an email that the phone has been found?
I also read somewhere that if running iOS 7, the iCloud website interface enables you to track previous locations, for instance if the phone moves from wifi hotspot to hotspot. Is that true? If so, how do I do that?
Thank you for your time, and have a great day!
Sincerely,
- Matt

The Best Lost/Stolen Insurance Plan?

My carrier is ATT and I want to purchase insurance just in case of my new 5s being lost or stolen. I understand ATT uses Asurion to cover lost/stolen phones. However, I have read a number of complaints that they often substitute the phone for whatever is available. Like if I lose my 5s they may send me a 4s, 5c, or god-forbid some junky knockoff thing called Android. I will be keeping the 5s only one year until upgrading to the 2014 iPhone. Has anyone had any experience with Asurion and actually had them provide a different phone within one year of that iPhone's release?
Any help at all or even in general about Asurion or another company I could use would be very helpful! I love to handout answer points!

Really? The title of your post is:
The Best Lost/Stolen Insurance Plan?
So, how is the fact that some credit card companies have amazing (and free) lost/stolen coverage programs, have NOTHING to do with your 'original question'?
Everyone already knows it? Not really. A friend of mine works for a bank, and there are literally thousands upon thousands of customers that have no idea that their credit card company has that option.
Name a better option than 'Free, and guarantees the same device, or an upgrade if that device is no longer available, or the original purchase price if no upgrade exists'?
There isn't one. And if you knew of it, then why would you ask?

Query on Undo Set Stream flags.

Hi All,
I'm using AEGP_SetStreamValue to update the value of the effect parameter. The Edit menu shows Undo Set Stream flags. Now if I Undo, nothing happens. I tried AEGP_StartUndoGroup() before I set the stream value. I end the undo group after setting the stream value using AGP_EndUndoGroup(). Still Edit menu is showing Undo Set Stream Flags.
What is the issue? Any ideas?
Thanks,
Dheeraj.

Sounds like the internal CoDec commands of the RED importer and in turn points to a leaky plug-in, meaning it's a bug. Short of getting an updated version of the plug-in I see no way to fix that.
