Stolen iPad SMS'd me then disappeared from my iCloud account, why?

Why has my stolen iPad been removed from my iCloud list of hardware AFTER I received an SMS from apple saying it had been located?

Exactly, apple should suggest I change my password when I reported it being stolen.
Apple has a security hole in its system, no one should have been able to remove my device from my account without two factor authentication.
This is disappointing #applehasweaksecurity !!

TS4006 Stolen iPhone disappeared from my iCloud Account a day later.

My iPhone5 was stolen, it displayed as "offline" in Find My iPhone and I activated lost mode and selected a message to display. The next day when I checked it did not display in the device list at all - only my macbook air displays. How did my iPhone5 get completely removed from my iCloud account?

Activation Lock will prevent the phone from being re-activated or Find My Phone from being turned off without knowing your Apple ID/Password. If the phone is locked with a passcode, unless the thief can guess your passcode, your data is safe. The phone is effectively useless to whoever has it.
I'd suggest changing your Apple ID password.

But here is Apples Support Article on...
What to do before selling or giving away your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
And the way it works is:
The Apple ID and Password that was Originally used to Activate the iDevice is required.
If you cannot get this information from the seller
Removing a device from a previous owner’s account
you need to return the Device for a refund, as you will not be able to re-activate it.

Can I load the information from my iCloud account that was backed up earlier this year to a new device since my iPad was stolen?

TS2198 ical (the calendar program) that came with this apple mac pc suddenly stopped working, then disappeared from the computer, from the desktop where I have been using it for the past two years, without trouble, then from the list of applications. . .

ical (the calendar program) that came with this apple mac pc suddenly stopped working. When I pulled the icon from the desktop, it then disappeared from the computer.I have been using it from the desktop for the past two years, without trouble. It has uninstalled itself, without my intervention and has eradicated all traces of it, including all my entries from the computer memory. There is no program in the applications list. Can you say why this may have happened please?

I opened one of the .calendar folders. There was a folder named Events which had either one or some files ending .ics. I opened several of these, which put up a dialogue window showing some parameters with data strings attached as follows :-

I dragged my notes from one iCloud account to another iCloud account and they disappeared. How do I find them?

I dragged my notes from one iCloud account to another iCloud account and they disappeared. How do I find them?

Hello reallilybart,
Thank you for the question. You can export the calendar events from your previous iCloud account and then import them into your new iCloud account.
First, use these steps to export your events from your original account and make note of where you save the file to:
Export a calendar’s events
In Calendar, click the calendar’s name.If you don’t see your calendars, click Calendars.
Choose File > Export > Export.
Choose a location for the file, and then click Export. The events are exported in an iCalendar (.ics) file.
Next, quit the Calendar application, and log out of your original iCloud account in System Preferences > iCloud. Then log in with your new iCloud account and open Calendar. The final step is to import the file into the calendar for your new iCloud account
Use these steps to import the calendar events:
Import events into a calendar
If you want, create a new calendar for the events.Add or delete a calendar
Choose File > Import > Import.
Locate and select the calendar file that contains the events, and then click Import.
Choose the calendar you created or another calendar to add the events to.
You can also drag a .ics file to Calendar. The events in the file are added to the calendar that’s highlighted in the Calendar list.
You can find the full article here:

After downloading Safari upgrade 5.0.5 emails prior to 12/2010 disappeared from my hotmail account. How do I restore?

on 4/22/2011 I downloaded an upgrade "Safari 5.0.5" and afterwards I noticed emails prior to Dec 2010 disappeared from my Hotmail account on my iMAC. The are still in residence on my PC running Windows Vista meaning this problem is specific to my iMAC running version 10.6.7. I have the disappeared email problem whether i use Safari, Firefox or Camino browsers. What can I do to restore my emails on my imac?

It you are viewing the email from a Mac browser app, then it stands to reason that the email resides on the Microsoft mail server, not on the iMac. If the email is no longer available for viewing, then logically the email has been removed from the server.
The question then is, how are you accessing the email from the Windows machine? Are you also viewing the email from a browser app, such as Internet Explorer, or are you using an email client app? If you are also viewing the email from a browser on the Windows computer, then you have a bit of an enigma, why is the email available for viewing from a Windows browser, and not from a Mac browser? However, if you are using an email client app, such as Entourage, then the email client app has likely been configured to download the email to your Windows box and to then delete the email from the server after having done so.

How can I restore data from my iCloud account on a new iPhone 5c with a previous SW version that my old (stolen) iPhone 5?

Hello everybody,
I need help to restore data from my iCloud account on an unused iPhone 5c because my iPhone 5 with a newer iOS update was stolen. When I try I get a message that I cannot retore my data because the iOS on my iPhone 5c is an older version than on the stolen iPhone 5.
There must be a way to do this. I hope to hear from you

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You cannot. However, you can solve this problem by setting the iPhone as a new device and upgrading iOS in Settings -> Software Update.
After upgrading iOS, open Settings -> General -> Reset -> Erase All Content and Settings. Finally, Setup Assistant will let you restore the backup.

I live in Canada. Each time I travel to the US, I lose all calendar entries. I have to erase all data, then restore from an iCloud backup. Tedious. iPhone 4, iOS 7.1, sync set to all events. Any suggestions?

I live in Canada. Each time I travel to the US, I lose all calendar entries. I have to erase all data, then restore from an iCloud backup. Tedious. iPhone 4, iOS 7.1, sync set to all events. I only use the default calendar. Do I have an incorrect setting?

I did find another point worth mentioning.
I use my iPhone 4 with a corporate Exchange email account. I had deleted the account from my phone just before I did this backup/restore process...and I thought my battery drain was much, much better (if not outright fixed).
Later in the day, after seeing my battery life improve to near-new behavior, I re-added my Exchange mail account. Considering I have 1 yahoo account and 3 gmail accounts, the Exchange account adds a 5th email account.
What happened? Battery drain back to "worst case". Removing or re-adding the Exchange account is like toggling between decent and terrible drain conditions.
Bottom line is that I re-added a couple dozen applications and battery life didn't change. By far, the Exchange account drains the battery worse than any other app and setting. This account must be polling very frequently and since people tend to send very large file attachments to that account, perhaps those effect the battery drain even though I have the account set to not download attachments.
Anyone running Microsoft Exchange might be able to confirm what I see? If so I can open an enterprise ticket with Microsoft and bug them on this issue.

I use photoshop cs6 extended and when I create a new shortcut, it will work once and then disappear..any help on why this would happen

I use photoshop cs6 extended and when I create a new shortcut, it will work once and then disappear..any help on why this would happen

Sorry, no further idea what can cause this.
Is the shortcuts file truely saved to disk? You can find in the user path, where the preferences and presets are stored for PS. Or if you go to the dialog again where you change shortcuts, is it reverted there too?

I have added more songs to my library. Half of the library has selected ticks but when I click on any of the others to select them the whole song disappears from the list. Why and what can I do to fix?

Hey Paul,
If I understand correctly, it sounds like iTunes is not grouping the songs from a particular CD together. The cause could be something as minor as a misspelling or slight variations. For more information, see the following resource:
Why aren't songs with the same album art grouped together?

My iPad had a problem and I had to get another one. I am tring to restore all my data from my iCloud account and it has taken 19 hours so far. Am I doing something wrong?

My iPad Air had to be replaced i went to the apple store to get a new one. we started the download at the store and I returned home to finish downloading from my iCloud account and it has taken 19 hours so far. Am I doing something wrong?

Hey Calpalm99,
Thanks for the question. I understand that you are experiencing issues restoring an iCloud backup. Don't worry, it doesn't sound like you are doing anything wrong, rather it may be that the connection was interrupted after you left Wi-Fi and returned home. To troubleshoot, you can try restoring your backup once more or see the information in this resource:
