Remote lock via iCloud big problems...
I tested out Remote Lock on my iPad and Macbook Air.
On my iPad everything worked fine, but then on my Macbook Air won't accept the password.
I have now tried well over 400 combinations on the numbers I thought was right (and some based on mistypes), and I can be sure that something must have gone terribly wrong.
Okey, I can just reformat, but no, the Remote Lock has put a password on the EFI bootmenu too.
So I can't reformat it.
Is the EFI password the same as the remote lock password? (it should be right?, because I did not set it manually).
And is there another solution than take in to a service point and be charged $140 (which is 950SEK, Swedish currency) för resetting the EFI password?
I can even show a receipt & id proving ownership, since I'm 100% sure this has to be some kind of bug or something is there any chance I can get out of this without paying?
The manual expalins this.
Restore the iphone.

MacBook Pro is remote locked by iCloud
Hello Everyone,
I was just trying out iCloud and the remote lock feature. When I start up my MacBook Pro Early 2011 I needed to enter a 4 digit key. I submit the same key but it says: "Wrong Password, Try again.". After a few times it did not unlock.
I tried a few things but they all failed:
1. Trying to boot from CD and reinstall Lion (when I push the ALT key I get a remote lock screen)
2. To remote the lock screen I tried to remove 1 RAM stick and push down CMD + ALT + P + R. Failed.
3. Formated the Harddisk and tried to install with the Snow leopard CD (when I push C I get the blinking map with the question mark, when I push ALT I get the remote lock screen.)
Does someone has a solution for my problem?
Thanks!

Does Remote Lock under Find My iPhone has the ability to overwrite the passcode that we set up on the device?
I believe the phone will lock to whatever passcode you have set. I don't think you can change it.

So, if a remote wipe occurred as the email stated, how did the person with the phone immediately go back to using the data on the phone. Wouldn't the person have to register the Iphone through Itunes? I got the email saying the erase was happening at 11:10. Looking at my cellular data usage, the phone began using data about that time after about a 12 hour break. So it seems like Find my Iphone quickly picked up the phone. But then the phone continued using data for about 3 more hours. How could the person be using the phone if it had just been wiped?
I understand that iCloud's erase function is totally distinct from Verizon's cellular service (i.e. the phone could be wiped and Verizon would never know). It's been a while since I've activated an Iphone through Itunes, but when you activate the phone don't you have to register it? If the iPhone was wiped at 11:10, how could it be using data at 11:15 and consistently for the next three hours. How long does the Itunes registration process take?

Lost my iPod, remotely locked it through iCloud. What happens when the battery goes out?
Hello!
I lost my Ipod, but managed to locate and lock it remotely through Find my iPod and iCloud. It was located once, but hasn't been located again in the last four days. I think the battery may have run out. What happens when the battery is charged and the iPod turned back on? Does the lock and everything else that can be controlled with Find my iPod still apply?
Thank you!Yes, because when you remotely lock the iPod via Find my iPod, the lock code is set as the lock code that you would use to unlock the iPod if you used a passcode normally. As long as the iPod is still connected to your Apple ID, Find my iPod should work as log as the iPod is connected to wifi.

i lost my ipod and i remotely locked my ipod on the computer using icloud, but when click on find my ipod it says NO DEVICES, how can i get back to the find my ipod page??? pliz help
The only way you will be able to track that iPod is if it is turned on and connected to a wifi network by the person that has it.

Big problem with a select using remote database
Hi Guy.
I have a big problem with a simple query, but this is a scenario.
Actuallly I'm in Alexandria - Egypt with a server with Oracle 10.2.0.4 database 32 bit on linux Red Hat as 4.8. the server can connect to another database oracle but 9.2.0.6 installed on Red Hat As 4.5 placed in Milano Italy . Ttwo networks are connected via two adsl cisco router with firewall and Vpn functions. In Egypt there isn't a very good adsl.
In Alexandria, I'm trying to connect to database in Italy with sqlplus. The sqlplus connected I write.. select * from addetti and all work fine.
My problem is that when I try to make the same select on a table with many columns oracle database kill me a session.
My table (ic_lav) is long 174 colums 1924 byte for row. Well when I write a query with select * from ic_lav all oracle close my session.
So I began to change my query I start to
select field1 from ic_lav... and work
select field1,field2,field3,..........field50 from ic_lav and work
select field1,field2,field3,..........field70 from ic_lav and doesn't work
the select work with 68 columns
problem: the query with more then 1064 byte for row doesn't work.
I've tryed with anoter big table with the same problem, but the select fwork with 65 columns...
Iit is obvious that there is any problem with the limit of the query.
The same query (select * from ic_lav) in localMilano)l work fine.
The same query (select * from ic_lav) in vpn with a better adsl line and openvpn software (NO CISCO firewall) WORK FINE.
The same query connectetd in Milano with a vpn make with analogic modem and remote access by windows work fine.
the query (make on my laptop connectet with vpn by cisco doesn't work.
In cisco firewall we haven't any error (cisco man tell me so)
on database 9 I found :
*** 2009-06-12 09:49:45.509
*** SESSION ID:(66.44406) 2009-06-12 09:49:45.497
FATAL ERROR IN TWO-TASK SERVER: error = 12152
*** 2009-06-12 09:49:45.509
ksedmp: internal or fatal error
Current SQL statement for this session:
select * from ic_lis where ditta
----- Call Stack Trace -----
but I don't understand why the lost connection problem (bug 3816595 A processstate dump is produced for a lost connection (12152) ) is caused by len of row
Anybody have some idea ?
Thank youMy table (ic_lav) is long 174 colums 1924 byte for row. Well when I write a query with select * from ic_lav all oracle close my session.Do you get any error?
If the query length is a problem, you could create a view and query the view instead to see if this problem is resolved. -
I have sent iPhone 4S via normal Post and it disappeared on its way. Before sending, I cleared every thing including Apple ID. Now i have sent lock request via iCloud but its pending. Will this phone be locked when it connects to internet?
No. There is no way to remotely lock your iPhone or locate it now.

I am having 2 big problems with itunes match / icloud - i welcome any advice!
So I finally have all my music itunes match / icloud and for the most part I am satisfied but I have 2 huge glaring problems I can't seem to fix. I emailed Apple and awaiting a reply but not holding out much hope there...
1. Compliation don't work right via itunes match / icloud - I have a few large compilations albums & they display correct on my local itunes library. I have the tags set right, I have normalized the album artists, made sure my genre's are clean, etc. but when I let this match / upload to itunes match / icloud - my compilations are repeated via icloud many times. I have a large compilations called "singles" & it displays perfect on my local itunes. But via icloud it's listed 5 times. I have tripled checked my tags and reset them again and again. No matter what I do, I can't get my compliation abums to show up just a single time in my icloud list.
Th problem is now that I am allowing my iphone and ipad's music to be managed by itunes match / icloud, these compliations are showing up on those devices 3-5 times for each. So my album list is one huge jumble of repeated Albums.
Any advice??
2. Album artwork missing - On my local itunes, I have good album artwork for all albums, but when I let these match and upload via itunes match / icloud, several albums lose their artwork when displaying or downloading to my IOS devices. So I end up with a lot of blank songs / albums. Also very annoying.
So, on the whole I like the itunes match / icloud service, but I really wish I could figure out how to solve these two problems. Any advice?Stephen Banks wrote:

If you have not already done so, I suggest set an Album Artist of "Various Artists" and make sure the "part of a compilation" option is selected in the metadata for the album. See if that helps the display.

Do a search on the forum. There are already several threads discussing this issue. -
I just bought a brand new iPhone 5s and a huge problem is that when i try to sync my music to my iPhone 5s, under the music tab it says that i can only access my music via iCloud. is there anyway to sync your music from your computer?????
The ! sign before the song means that the actual song is no longer on your computer and/or iTunes library.
