Recently my Iphone 5 was stolen in India. I 'Erased' my phone from find my phone app and so now i am not able to access 'locate my phone' option in that app. How can i do that?

Another thing that happened recently is someone tried to reset the password of my Apple ID. Since i have erased my phone, will the thief be still able to use the phone? If i remove my phone from my Apple account will he be able to use it then?
Note: I didnt have 'Find my phone' app installed when the phone was stolen. Don't know if needs to be explicitly installed for it to work.

Hello Leela24,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you have changed your phone number but your iCloud Keychain verification number is still your old phone number. You can edit this phone number in your iCloud settings on your iPhone. Please use the attached article for information on the process.
Get help using iCloud Keychain - Apple Support
Make sure that the correct phone number is associated with your account:
In iOS 8, tap Settings > iCloud > Keychain > Advanced. In iOS 7, tap Settings > iCloud > Account > Keychain. Make sure the phone number under Verification Number is correct. If not, enter another phone number.
Happy holidays,

When i add a new contact to my phone, their details are saved in my contact list, but the name doesn't show up when they ring or txt me, how can i change that?

First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
Finally, if the Restore doesn't work, let the battery drain completely. Then recharge for at least an hour and Restore again.

An app charged my credit card and the way the app described payment options, I believed it would charge me a monthly fee, not a yearly fee. I'd like the charge refunded, how can I do that?

The whole configure over WAN thing is confusing me I don't want anyone to be able to access my airport extreme over the WAN. How can I check to make sure that is the way I have it setup?

I just bought a new airport extreme and I want to make sure that is NOT set up for "configure over WAN". How do I check to make sure that is how I have it set up? I only want access to the base via WPA2 password

Open AirPort Utility, select the AirPort Extreme, and click Manual Setup
Click the Base Station tab located just below the row of icons
Remove any check mark that might be in the box next to Allow Setup over WAN
Click Update to save your settings and the AirPort Extreme will restart in 25-30 seconds
For what it is worth, if you leave the box checked, any computer that tries to access the settings on the Airport Extreme will be asked for the device password....not the wireless network password.

In iTunes, select iTunes Store, then under "MUSIC QUICK LINKS" on the right hand side of the screen click on Account. Sign in using your Apple ID, if prompted to do so, and you should see a Deauthorize All button:
Click on this, and then re-authorize any computers than you're currently using with iTunes and your Apple ID. See Deauthorize your computer using iTunes - Apple Support for more details. Note that you can only use the Deauthorize All function once every twelve months - though you can request that Apple do so on your behalf by contacting Apple Support.

Office 2004 Applications Won't Work in Lion
You must have Office 2004 which is a PPC-only suite and will not work in Lion. You need to upgrade to Office 2011 - Mactopia - or you can try the freeware suite, Libre Office, that is functionally similar to Office 2007 for Windows except it works on Lion.
You may want to consider as well:
These two suites are similar to Libre Office but not as current or as well-supported:
NeoOffice
Open Office
And, then there is Apple's iWork suite:
Pages - word processing and layout
Keynote - presentation
Numbers - spreadsheet
Each can open and save Office compatible files. They may be purchased separately via the Mac App Store for $19.99 each.
(Access to the Mac App Store requires Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or higher and an Apple ID.)

My iphone was stolen. I blocked it on icloud. I bought a new one. Now I need the contacts from the stolen one that is now blocked. Can I get it?

a

If the contacts on the old phone were synced to a mail account or iCloud account, then they will be easy to recover. Just sign into your iCloud account on the new phone (Settings > iCloud) and then enable the 'Contacts' option. If the contacts were stored in your iCloud account, they will now appear on the phone.
If the contacts were stored in a mail account such as Gmail, Yahoo, etc, then add that mail account to the phone in Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Add Account. Then make sure the 'Contacts' option is enabled here as well.
If that still doesn't work you may need to try to recover them from an iCloud or iTunes backup of the old phone -- do you have one of those?

HT5616 i have an ipod 4th generation nano with one apple id. and i created another id for my iphone 4. I bought some songs on itunes and loaded them on my phone. But now i am not able to retrieve them to transfer to my library. I can see them, but they ar

when i try to retrieve the songs into my library it says that my computer is connected with another apple id and that i have to wait 90 days. Do I have to wait to be able to retrieve my songs that I purchased? Do I have to wait all the time when I purchase songs from itunes? Its driving me crazy that I bought these songs and are not able to listen to them on my other apple products. Such as my ipod nano 4th generation, and my iphone 4. Your help is appreciated, thank you.

Hey renie1515,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
When you download past purchases on an iOS device or computer, that device or computer becomes associated with your Apple ID. This article describes how to manage these associations.
iTunes Store: Associating a device or computer to your Apple ID
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4627
Once a device or computer is associated with your Apple ID, you cannot associate that device or computer with another Apple ID for 90 days.
Note: Removing a device from your Apple ID does not override the 90-day timer. You must wait 90 days from the day the device was first associated with your Apple ID before it can be associated with another Apple ID.
Have a nice day,
Mario

My iphone was stolen about an hour ago. i have the find iphone software on my phone but not at my disposal right now, can i locate it somehow?

pleasee someone help i neeed to find it!!! and at&t are a bunch of crooks and wont help!!

To amplify what Tim said - having the Find My iPhone app on your device is not going to activate the service. That's an app that's just used to connect to the iCloud server and lets you locate the device, if it's "on the grid" as they say, and the sim hasn't been removed. But you just turn on the Find My iPhone service by going into settings. You don't even have to have the app on your iPhone to make the service work.

My iPhone 4 has no storage left. I have deleted everything. But when I go to my storage on my camara roll it has 40.1 MB SAVED! How can I delete that with out having a computer

I don't understand why I don't have any memory but my girlfriend had a hole lote more memory. And we have the same I phones.

Songs, videos, pics take a lot of room. In addition, a thumbnail is created for each pic and an index so the total space used is a great deal greater than just the size of the pic...400 pics will use a lot of storage space. In addition to Usage, you can get info from Settings > General > About.
