- If you did not turn on the FindMyiPod feature in Settings>iCloud then you can't find it via iCloud or any other special way. Apple will not help.
- If wifi is on y can make it play a sound it you can call an app on the iPod that wil make a notification sound like Skype or FaceTime.

I can't find my iphone it has find my iphone app but i could is not turned on
If he didn't enable Find My iPhone on it in Settings>iCloud before it was lost, you won't be able to track it. It he did, you may be able to track it as explained here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mmfc0f2442.

Help! I tried calling Apple but I don't think they know what to do.
Just purchased my brand new macbook pro about 2 weeks ago. My internet keeps coming and going, and I know it's my internet provider because I am still geting internet on the ipod touch when the internet on my macbook pro is down. It happens every hour for about 5-10 mins, I can't get any internet connection, although I get all full bar strength. I have to constantly reconnect back to my router.
What is wrong and what can I do to fix this? This is a $2,000 laptop, and I'm about ready to take it back if it continues to act this way.
I do not have snow leopard. It came out about 2 days after I purchased this. I wonder if that would fix it.Take it back to an Apple Store and get it check out on their network. If it works fine there, the problem is in your home network.

My daughter was trying to update her itouch and somehow lost everything on it, but itunes seems to have restored it back to what was on an older ipod she used to have. I don't think we ever registered her itouch, and I know she didn't back it up to the computer. Any chance of getting her stuff back? She lost hundreds of pictures.
- You can redownload iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
- On the computer go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and see if there is a backup of her iPod.
Note that the backup does not included synced media like apps and music.
- Is she update the iPod via iTunes on other then the computer she syncs with the media on the iPod gets erased. Same for if on the syncing computer if the media was not in the iTunes library. -
I'm a MB Pro beginner (after 25 years with PC). I have an Iomega ext HD, but how do get it indexed?, and it doesn't come up with any results I'm trying searches in Finder, and it says "searching Iomega drive" - but I don't think it's indexing. How do I force it to index?
Well I'm leaning the other way. I think my present MBP will be the last Apple product I buy.
With the way Apple is going, all New Mac computers are sealed unit that don't allow the user to upgrade them in any way. They are getting more expensive initially. They are impossible to fix, even by Apple. All the parts are either soldered to the Logic Board or glued inside the case parts. The add on warranty only covers manufacturing defects and is expensive. And to fix one out of waranty is close to if not more then a new system.
The only thing different in a Mac, and most other products Apple sells, is the operating system and the cases they come in. As for the OS both have their glitches and at this time there are no viruses that infect OS X. There is more software available for Windows. More choices as to what hardware you can use or upgrade to at a later date.
Mac computers are becoming large iPads or iPhones with built in keyboards.

Quick time Player can't open because a required codec isn't available. The DVD I am trying to play was made on an IPAD. My Imac came with a IMac Application install DVD, A IMac Mac OS X Install DVD, & iWork, I don't think I have iLife What additional software do I need?
Perian 1.2.3 *should* work for both QuickTime & and QTX in Mountain Lion. Regardless of the filetype container, whether it is a Matroska (.mkv) or a .mov. As to the actual encoding of the file (h264, .mp2, whatever..) I have found most play, even older formats.
Even though it's no longer supported and is a dead project, it works just fine. It will load as a System Preference file and adds to the Other category in them.
I think in 10.8 you've still got support for QTX so it may work with that. (in Mavericks, it only works for QT7)
If not, just run QuickTime 7.6.6.

Yesterday, I purchased Mountain Lion OSX and tried to download it but I don't think the download worked. How can I tell if I am using Mountain Lion and how do I get help if the download was unsuccessful?
Click your Apple menu icon top left corner of your screen.
From the drop down menu click About This Mac.
If Mountain Lion is installed, it will say: v10.8
If not, launch the App Store. From the App Store menu bar click Store > Check for Unfinished Downloads
FYI .. for downloading Mountain Lion from the App Store, a high speed (broadband) internet connection is strongly recommended by Apple as noted here > iTUNES STORE - MAC APP STORE - TERMS AND CONDITIONS
If you need to reinstall OS X or repair the the startup disk Mountain Lion Recovery, that requires broadband access to the internet via Wi-Fi or an Ethernet connection. OS X is downloaded over the internet form Apple when OS X Recovery is used for reinstallation. -
Hi, I have been watching videos from my ipad via ATV2 with no problems for over a year. As of yesterday my videos just keep loading and don't play. I don't think I have done anything differently. Does anyone know how to fix this. I have tried unplugging it waiting 30secs and then plugging it back in. I have tried restarting, updating and reseting but nothing is working. It's quite frustrating!!!! Any suggestions????
I have taken it back to the Apple store genius bar, but they say they don't see anything wrong. Well unless you use it all day and experience the problems when they happen, you wont see anything wrong. But there are lots wrong with it. But this would be the same store as I purchased the phone. And they backed up my old Iphone 4, but were not able to get anything to load back onto my new phone. So, I lost pretty much everything. But over time, some of my contacts have started showing up, although i am still missing over 800 of them.

Hi I have an iPad with iOS 612 and am trying to connect a wireless printer, I don't think it's doing it because I don't have iOS 10 or more. Is this right?.
If you want to use AirPrint - the buit in feature in iOS that allows you to print directly from the iPad without another app - you need to be using an AirPrint Printer. There is a list of those printers here.
AirPrint basics
If your printer is not on the list, you may still be able to use your current printer, but will need to purchase a printing app for the iPad from the App Store.
I don't understand you reference to iOS 10 unless you mean OS X10 for Mac. -
I was playing my iPod and then shut it off... When I tried to turn it back on it wouldn't work and I don't think I got a warranty
Please con someone helpAlthough you may have already tried this, I suggest plugging your iPod in to see if its battery has run out. To check your warranty go to apple.com -> support -> contact us -> check your coverage. You probably have one year warranty if you bought this product new from apple.

I lost my iphone and was wondering if I can locate it via home computer even if the locate iphone was not activated. Can I somehow turn it on to locate it?
You're welcome.
No one can turn on Find My iPhone remotely, including Apple. Apple also has no way of detecting where your phone is without Find My iPhone enabled.
Theoritically your carrier could get a general location if your service was turned on using their cell towers, but it's unlikely that the locaion accuracy using cell towers would be accurate enough to help you find it anyway. Carriers generally don't get involved unless ordered to do so by the police or the courts. -
i have itouch 64gb, i have itunes 10 loaded -trying to upgrade to Ios5 - at the end of the long dowload is says- chack network connection-= network times out- yet network is on as is Ipod- whats up?
I'm not certain thats the problem. I stopped antivirus, I set screensaver to NOT trigger and yet it took me FOUR DAYS to completely sync my ipod touch. Stupid me decided to try it with the iPad and guess what...it's been three days and STILL timing out.
I don't think Steve Jobs died; I think they upgraded him to iOS5, he crashed and they could not restore him.
THIS UPGRADE *****. They rushed it out the door to get the fancy-dancy voice command thing on the iphones and yet that feature does not help ipod or ipad users. -
Want to stream Netflix to blueray player via my existing Airport Express wifi. The player finds my wifi but the wireless connection fails - says, " Ensure DHCP server is enabled on router and restart router." I don't think I have a DHCP server. Suggestions anyone?
I can't speak specifically regarding LG, but the Whole Home feature on Direct TV (record a movie on one DVR and watch it on another TV in another location) just won't work with wireless, and I have a strong fast connection at 300 Mbps. Ethernet works perfectly.
Few audio/video products will accept "n" wireless at 5 GHz. I suspect that your LG accepts a 2.4 GHz signal, which would top out at 130 Mpbs.
If you are trying to stream High Definition video, especially at 1080P, my opinion would be that it is unlikely that you will be able to do so reliably using wireless.
Perhaps another user who has figured out how to do this will post with some input. -
Location based reminders don't trigger when screen is locked
I've tried using location based reminders a handful of times since installing iOS 5. The one thing I've noticed about them (other than the battery drain), is that they don't work when the phone is in standby (i.e. screen is off). Unlike time based reminders which will sound even when the phone is in standby. Location based reminders will only remind you after you unlock the screen.
Here's an example based on a reminder I set today:
1. I set a reminder to remind me to vote when I left my house.
2. I left my house and drove about a 1/2 mile, all the while looking at my phone to see if the reminder triggered.
3. Eventually I decided to press the home button and unlock the screen. The moment I did so the reminder popped up.
Basically if I hadn't "remembered" about the reminder and unlocked the screen, I wouldn't get reminded until the next time I used my iPhone which could have been hours later. I'd think considering the battery drain and constant use of GPS that it should remind me shortly after leaving my house.
Is this the way reminders are supposed to work?In iOS7, location-based reminders won't fire if the Reminders app is explicitly terminated by the user.
That is if the user removes an application from the Multi-Tasking application list (brought up with a double-press of the Home button), iOS 7 will conclude that the user doesn't want this app to get any more run-time. That implies that Reminders won't be launched again to display your location-based reminders.
The Reminders app needs to be running in the foreground or to be put in the background for location-based reminders to work.
This is not a bug. This is intended behavior. -
I haven't used my IMac in a long time and went to boot it up, and I find I don't remember the correct username and password (I use several computers..I try to keep the passwords similar, with a number for the chronological order in which I started using them) I've tried all the others I use for passwords. The 'hint" keeps coming up for the password I am pretty sure is the correct one, but, still cannot get in. I also don't remember whether I changed my surname on the computer...it was changed legally a little while ago, but some of my older devices still have my birth-name in there)
HELP
I don't think I ever set up a "master password" on the thing...I never use those. I am the only person with access to my personal devices.
