So I am from U.S. Came to South America for Christmas and won't be back for a month. I lost my iPhone on the plane as we were gathering our belongings. It was in airplane mode so I tried to track it and it says off line any ideas on how I can get it?

Just curious why the phone tracer did not work when I recently left my phone on a plane in another country and the person who found it has used it and and took it off air plane mode

I'm not sure how you know this, but if true, most likely they have since restored it which would remove the iCloud settings. The iPhone would now be in Activation Lock, though, and hence after restoring be useless to the person who found the iPhone. But as Tim said, contact the airline. It's possible they accessed it in an attempt to determine the owner.
Regards.

  • I purchased PSE 13 but have a Vista OS. It was suggested in this chat room that I download PSE 12. I did that & installed. The serial # for 13 does not work. Any thoughts on how I can get a number for PSE 12?

    I've been working on our church website and all of a sudden this week, my computer will not connect to the site. I keep getting a message saying that the the connection to the server was reset while the page was loading. Does anyone have any ideas of how I can fix this?

    The "The connection was reset" error message can be caused by a bug fix for the BEAST (Browser Exploit Against SSL/TLS) attack that the server doesn't handle.

  • I accidentally lost my photos from my iphone as I was trying to sync into my mac.  I accidentally clicked restore.  Any suggestions on how I can get my photos back?

    Hello,
    I accidentally clicked restore when I was trying to sync my photos from my iphone to my mac computer.  I lost them all and it made me sick.  Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions on how I might be able to retrieve them? I was up until 4am trying to figure this out.
    Thanks!!!
    Kelly

    If you restored the iPhone then the photos are gone. Sorry.
    Next time you take photos on your iPhone, transfer them to your Mac as soon as it's convenient.

  • I have recently purchased a used iPhone 4, when i plugged it into my pc a skull came up instead of the apple icon.  My pc does not recognise the iPhone, I have tried everything that I can think of.  Has anybody any ideas on how I can fix this?

    I have recently purchased a used iPhone 4, when I pulg it into my pc a skull icon appears instead of the apple.  The pc also does not recognise the iPhone.  The phone was originally purchased in March of this year, so it is under 12 months old.  Has anybody encountered this problem and or know how I can fix the phone? Thanks

    You have apparently purchased a jailbroken phone.  You can try to get it into recovery mode, then restore as new, but no guarantee it will work.

  • When I plug my Ipad2 to my Imac, it does not sync all my photos from my Itunes library. It also splits events and picks what it wants to sync. How do I get all my photos to sync with Ipad2?

    When I sync my Ipad2 with my Imac, it does not sync all the photos. It seems to pick & choose what it wants to sync and also splits events. How can I set it to sync all photos so both libraries are the same?

    Can't help you with the sync problem but the splitting of events was supposedly fixed with the iPhoto 9.1.3 updater.
    This is from the download page:
    This update fixes a problem that could cause some events merged in iPhoto to be split back into multiple events on iOS devices after being synced.
    So update iPhoto to 9.1.3 and re-sync.  If you already have updated to that version then I'm at a loss.

  • Today all my Bookmarks disapeared from Safari, when i checked my iphone they were there and then went away the same happened on my ipad. Any ideas on how to restore?

    Today all my BookMarks disappeared in Safari, when I checked my iphone I watched them disappear from there and the same on my iPad. I then thought why not check my Parallels side and Windows Explorer. They were there for a few seconds and then also gone. Any ideas on how to restore and stop this from happening again? My iCloud setting are set for Safari sync.

    Then you have misunderstood what iCloud is.
    First. It is not a back-up service. It is a sync service.
    That distinction is very import. A back-up service would have backed-up your bookmarks but iCloud's function is to synchronize your data, in this case your bookmarks, to all your devices. A backup service, by it's very nature, would allow you to roll back to a previous version of your data or file. No such roll back function is present in iCloud's services.
    For example, if you add a bookmark to Safari on your Mac that same bookmark will be added to all your other devices that are connected to your iCloud account. Also, if you delete a bookmark it will be deleted from all those devices.
    iCloud does not make a distinction between deleting one or all of your bookmarks and it will do the same to all your devices. It does not know that was not your intention. That is why it is very important to have Backups and Apple makes it very easy using Time Machine and a simple hard drive connected to a computer.
    Let's see if your bookmarks have actually been deleted or if there is another problem.
    Your bookmarks are stored in a .plist file the following directory, ~/library/Safari/Bookmarks.plist
    To get to that directory go to the Finder, select the Go to Folder… menu item in the Go menu and enter ~/library/Safari/ in the field provided. There you will find the Bookmarks.plist file.
    Select it and hit the space bar on your keyboard to see a preview of the files content. Does it still contain references to your bookmarks? If it does still contain references to your bookmarks then something else is going on and we'll have to find a different solution.

  • After 3 years of use, my I-photo dissappeared from my mac along with all my pictures.  Stupid me has no back up either.  any ideas how I can get my pictures back?es bautupi

    Happy Holidays.  After 3 years of use, my I-Photo disappeared from my Mac along with all my pictures.  And stupid me has no back-up.  Any ideas on how I can find my pictures?  Thanks.

    Happy Holidays to you too.
    What exactly is missing?
    The iPhoto icon in the Dock, that you used to launch iPhoto?
    The iPhoto application from the "Applications" folder?
    Your iPhoto library from your "Pictures" folder?
    To check what is still left, click on the looking glass icon in the upper right corner of your screen and type "iPhoto" into the Spotlight search field. This should find anything with iPhoto in its name. Does it show an iPhoto application? Then click it to launch it.
    But before you do anything else, I'd strongly suggest to get yourself a backup disk and make a Time Machine backup of your machine right now. You have already noticed, how risky it is, not to have a working  backup. The best computer will crash one day.

  • If a stolen iPhone was in airplane mode will a find my iPhone passcode lock apply itself when the hone is switched off of airplane mode?

    My girlfriend's iPhone was stolen whilst on holiday in London. The phone was in airplane mode and didn't appear on Find My IPhone, which was installed and enabled (all set tis correct other than airplane mode). I sent a remote passcode lock to the phone.
    The next day the iPhone appeared on the map, obviously having been switched on and had airplane mode switched off. My question is, will the remote lock apply immediately the phone comes back online?
    I assume their only opting at that point is to do a factory restore which would wipe all the data anyway, right?
    Also, can't Apple track the IMEI number regardless of a restore and a new SIM? Or the network operator that the phone was originally connected to?

    This notion that is being floated around that Apple's hands are tied due to privacy and legal concerns doesn't impress me much at all. My iPad was stolen about a month ago. I have the receipt, the serial number (from my box), and the MAC address (from my home router's log). Armed with that information it's technologically feasible to track, deauthorize, and eventually recover my device. But for reasons I have been unable to ascertain Apple refuses to provide anything like this for their customers. And as their devices become increasingly smaller, more desirable, and more expensive theft of them will also increase.
    But to my point about legalities and privacy concerns: whether they are true or not, it certainly doesn't stop Barnes and Noble from blacklisting their Nooks when they are reported stolen. At least, that's what I found after buying a Nook color off craigslist. When I tried to register it online it refused. When I called in to customer support they informed me that it was a stolen device. If I wanted to remove the blacklist, they explained, simply provide the last 4 digits of the credit card, the name on the receipt, and the total dollar amount of the store along with store number where the device was purchased. If I lacked any of that information, I could simply contact the store and retreive it from their records. Since I was not the original owner, however, my option was to turn the device over to the police and hope they returned it to the rightful owner.
    When I explained this scenario to Apple Care he insisted the limitation was due to privacy concerns. That defies logic, however, when one considers that it's the original owner (and only through the poilce and Apple's legal department) who must report the device stolen. And, like B&N, it's the customer who is able to provide personal information to blacklist (as well as unblacklist) a device according to his or her own volition.
    I've been thinking a bit about this for some time...plenty of time to think on the couch sans iPad anway...and I've been wondering why in the world does Apple not allow users to deauthorize and blacklist iDevices through iTunes itself. At that point Apple has no involvement in the process and even the barest of legalities are irrelevant. My assumption is that Jobs has thought long and hard about these issues, including my described resolution, so it begs the question as to why Apple refuses to do anything about stolen devices. I hope one day I can ask him because that is a question I would like answered more than anything: what is the rationale for the hands-offs approach to this? I can't fathom one myself but I have to guess there is one. Apple hasn't come across to me as a callous company so I'm reluctant to attribute it to that.

  • I lost my iPhone 4 in Brussels last week. It was in airplane mode when lost. I also use a code to unlock the phone. The phone was off when lost. My question is: Can a person access my personal data on the phone?

    I lost my iPhone 4 in Brussels last week. It was in airplane mode when lost. I also had a code to unlock the phone. The phone was off when lost. My question is: Can a person access my personal data on the phone? Can they take the chip out and place it into another iPhone and access the personal info on the chip or is the personal data on the phone itself and could they put a new chip in and access the data?

    I have Find my iPhone App, but it says that it is offine.
    I've checked all week and it is offline.
    I clicked on erase iphone when phone accesses the internet on the Find my iPhone App.
    I just want to know how safe is my personal information that I have on that iPhone?

You cannot recover your loss unless you insure your device for such loss. It is not covered by your warranty.
    If your iPhone, iPod, iPod Touch, or iPad is lost or stolen what do you do? There are things you should have done in advance - before you lost it or it was stolen - and some things to do after the fact. Here are some suggestions:
