TS3376 what will happen if i lock my macbook from my iphone? will someone still be able to use it?

On the find my iphone app there is a lock feature for my macbook. If I put a code in and someone took my laptop will they still be able to access (use) my macbook ?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
If you activate lock mode, your Mac will be locked the next time it connects to Internet and it has your Apple ID. After being locked, it won't be possible to use it anymore unless you have the passcode. The answer to the question is maybe, but normally, it should be locked the next time it gets connected to Internet if the thief doesn't change the Apple ID

Normally, you d want to connect to computer, iphone had been synced with previously. If computer does not exist you may have to enter phone in recovery mode, just search youtube for iphone recovery.

What Would Happen if I Locked My MacBook Air?

I have been thinking what would hapen if i locked my mac.
If you know THANK YOU

This is what happens after remotely locking your Mac: When the Mac connects to a wireless network, it will restart on its own, rebooting from the Recovery partition. A prompt to enter the code you specified will appear. The Mac's contents cannot be accessed until that code is entered. Upon entering the code it will restart and the normal Login screen will appear.
Concurrently, you will receive an email informing you that your Mac has been remotely locked.

If my apple device is registered in "My Support Profile," will someone still be able to use my IPod on another Apple ID?

I lost my IPod touch (4th generation) yesterday at school, and no one returned it. I know that they can connect the IPod to ITunes and restart it as a new IPod. WIll they be able to do that if the IPod is registered to My Support Profile? I already tried finding the IPod through ICloud, but there is no luck (it also says that location services is off).

Yes. They can us it even if it is in your profile.
I gave my 4G iPod away and it disappeared from my profile.
I also gave my iPad 1 away and it is still in my profile.

What will happen if i reformat my macbook ?

I want to know what will happen if i reformat my macbook pro , is it complicating ? to do it

The lagging..freezing..and so on could be caused my a number of problems. Search these forums using keywords to find recommended fixes.
Reinstalling (reformatting) a Mac is almost never required. That approach is a Windows technique.

What is wrong with OSX on the MacBook Pro and when will it be fixed?

When running Second Life or Worlds of Warcraft or just quick browing... anything graphically intensive on the MacBook Pro, the machine slows to a crawl, eventually completely freezes up. The cursor doesn't move, pressing the Caps Lock key does not change the Caps Lock light and the machine is no longer reachable from any other machine on the network. The only means available to recover is to hold the power button down until the Mac powers off and then restart it. This doesn't happen when running XP through boot camp and windows client versions of these programs. What is wrong with OSX on the MacBook Pro and when will it be fixed? Thanks.

I am not sure that this relevant to the discussion. But I am searching for anyone else who is seeing random freezes on 10.4. I usually don't see anything in the log after I have to do a hard reboot of the box. However, I have noticed some I/O messages when I have been able to console into an affected device, but have not captured to this point. Also, when I am able to console, the box will accept the login, but times out when trying to authenticate the password.
I am also seeing a server freeze on my G4s. I am able to reproduce the problem with a clean install from the 10.4 disk. The issue is reproducible with tcpdump, dumpcap as well as tshark. I have also tried compiling the tools with different versions of libpcap. I am able to reproduce this problem every time with a packet generator sending small packets.
It seems that the small packets aggravate the underlying cause. As the more small packets are sent the quicker I am able to reproduce the problem. With a mix of packet sizes, as seen in most networks, this issue is hard to reproduce. We have been using the G4 since 2003 as a packet analysis tool and it has been very stable up until we attempted to do analysis of a VOIP network with 10.4. The small RTP packets in conjunction with 10.4 seem to be the culprit.
So far I am not able to reproduce the freeze on a 10.2 or 10.3 image. This is not isolated to bad hardware, as I have been able to reproduce on 4 different Xserves in my labs with similar configurations.
I currently have a G4 set up in my lab and would be able to supply any info that may be needed to track down this issue. I have been thrust into administration on this box recently so I am not very familiar with debugging procedures on the Xserve or MacOS. However, I have the hardware and the test equipment that many in a production setting may not have at their disposal. So if anyone, with extensive knowledge of the Xserve or MacOS, is willing to work with me to track down this issue I am willing to do the leg work in the lab. I would appreciate any assistance that is available.

Locked my macbook from iCloud

My kid was playing with my computer, so I locked my macbook from iCloud and now I can't unlock it, it won't accept my 4 digit code. I can't undo it from iCloud, there is no option. I have tried every code I imagine, but somehow I seem to have forgotten the chosen 4 digit code.
What should I do? It shows up in iCloud as locked. What happens if I remove it from iCloud, I am afraid that will worsen things. I am the owner of the macbook and I have the recepit and it is set up with my iCloud account.
I am really surprised there is no option to undo it, considering the fact that it's matched to my iCloud account. I have googled but found no info.

I actually managed to find the 4 digit pass code by trial and error. In the process I found a really interesting bug that bypasses the time restriction. A 4 digit code means 10000 combinations. After a few trials it locks you out for 1 minute and after a few more for 5 minutes, but I found a very easy way to bypass the restriction and keep guessing. Took me some time, but finally I found the PIN. Is there a reward from apple for finding critical bugs?

Far too much uneccesary information in your post, which only confuses things, a vast amount!
Let's start with iTunes.
Have you updated iTunes to 11.1.5, because the previous version did appear to have an issue about seeing iPods?
With iTunes 11.1.5 installed, look in Edit/Preferences/Devices, (or use the ALT key, followed by the E key and then the F key) and make sure that the box named Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from syncing automatically does not have a tick in the box.
Once you have doen those two things, check to see if the iPod is seen by iTunes.

By the way, what does IOS mean? (I thought IO stood for operating system, but am flummoxed by the S on the end.
Really?
OS stands for Operating System. (In computer speak, IO means Input/Output.)
iOS originally stood for iPhone Operating System, but it now refers to the iPod Touch and iPhone. The iPod Classic, which you have listed in your profile as your iPod, does not use iOS.
I assume that you have been listening to the Podcast in your iTunes on the computer as you cannot transfer it to your iPod. It's what I'd do.

If I got an unlocked iPhone 4s would I be able to use a 3G network? Like so when there is no wifi network can I use a 3G network if I got an unlocked iPhone? Or do you have to have a locked iPhone to do this?

if I got an unlocked iPhone 4s would I be able to use a 3G network? Like so when there is no wifi network can I use a 3G network to go on the internet when i am out if I got an unlocked iPhone? Or do you have to have a locked iPhone to do this?

If I am reading your question correctly, yes if there is no wifi
you can use 3G IF you have a contract with a wireless provider
and the appropriate SIM card if required. Being unlocked does not
give you access to 3G for free; you still have to pay for it. Same
for locked iPhone. Difference is that you would have to get contract
with whatever provider the iPhone is locked to if you have locked
iPhone; if iPhone is unlocked, you will have to make a choice from
your local providers.
If this does not answer your questions, please post back with more
details and someone will answer you.

What adapter and or software do I need to allow my lenovo laptop to be able to use my 20"apple cinema display

what adapter and or software do I need to allow my lenovo laptop to be able to use my 20"apple cinema display?

To start off with, you will need to download iTunes. Make sure that you download the correct version, Windows, and if you have 32-bit or 64-bit. Pictures taken with the iPhone are imported to the computer via Scanner and Camera Wizard in Windows, or can also be copied via Windows Explorer in Computer. Photos are then synced to the computer via iTunes by selecting a folder on the computer that contains photos and they are copied to the computer.
Calendar has to be handled by a supported application. That can be Outlook 2003 or 2007. Other choices include using Google calendar, MobileMe,etc. The latter allow for OTA syncing of calendar. Contacts require a supported application as well, those include Outlook 2003 or 2007, or Windows Address book in Vista, or Windows Mail in Windows 7. You also have the option as above for Google or MobileMe.
Information about what you might want to use is found on the Apple website and descibes the supported applications.

I'm managing several devices from my itunes account. If I delete a song from my iphone, will it also be deleted from other family member's devices as well as in itunes?

Ok, thanks! I'm pretty new to having multiple apple products. Another question though, if I delete, say Christmas music, from my device and it is still in itunes, will it automatically sync back to my device next time I sync it?

If I choose "restore from iTunes backup" to move everything from old iphone to a new one, will I still be able to use the old phone for music and apps? Can the old phone be docked up to that same computer every now and then? Or will the new and old phone overwrite each other in some way? In other words, are the two phones treated as different devices when the "restore" option is used to set up the new phone? Thanks in advance.

Yes, you can use the old iPhone as an iPod touch.
