How can I remotely turn on find my iPhone feature
You cannot...you must be on the iPhone to turn it on, there are not those kinds of remote controls.

HT201472 Why can't Apple turn on the Find My iPhone feature if it's been stolen?
A friend of mine's house was robbed this morning. They lost tens of thousands of dollars worth of belongings, including a new ipad 4. They have icloud on the device... and had the Find My iPhone app on other devices, but not the new ipad. In extreme cases, why can't Apple remotely turn on the Find My iPhone feature? If they could find the ipad it could lead them to the people who stole everything else from them.
The suggestions has, more or less, been implemented in iOS 7: with iOS 7, you can make stolen devices unusable, and still display a text that might allow them to be recovered. See, for instance, http://www.imore.com/ios-7-preview-activation-lock-aims-keep-out-crooks

There is another application that can remotely turn on the iMac?
Exist other application to do that ?
Thank YouThat for Windows not Mac... It don't trun on the computer. You need the computer on as set to sleep for it to work. Again there are no programs that can trun on a computer. This only happens in the movies .

Make sure that you set up your iCloud account on both devices and that Find My iPhone is turned On. You can also verify if your two iPads' location by signing in to www.icloud.com then Find My iPhone.

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.

HT201472 If my ipod was stolen, how can I figure out if the find my ipod app is activated
If my ipod was stolen, how can I figure outg if the find my ipod app is activated.
- If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
- You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
- If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
- Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
- There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it.
- Apple will do nothing without a court order

How can I remove icons from the Finder sidebar? Transferred info from my Mac Pro desktop computer (using target mode) and there were folder icons on the Mac Pro Finder sidebar that are now on the MacBook Finder sidebar, even though these folders do not exist on the MacBook. Tried to drag them off, which is the usual way to get rid of folders that the user adds to the sidebar (as opposed to those that can be added via the Customize Toolbar dropdown menu) but was unsuccessful. I then unchecked all of the Customize Toolbar menu items and the folder icons still remained. What else can I do?
Did you hold the Command (Apple) key while dragging them off the sidebar? That usually makes them go *poof*.

Hi. I have recently finished with an emplyer and have backed up my phone and when i go to restore the back up to another phone it is asking me to turn off the "find my iphone" before the restore can start. Pronlem is im no longer in possesion of this phone and can not turn it off.
Any assistance would be greatIt's not referring to your old phone, it's referreing to the one you're trying to restore to. Where did you get the phone you're trying to restore the backup to?

I just got an iPhone 5s, and I restored from a previous back up (mistake) and now I can't restore the phone to start again without "turning off the find my iphone setting" but it's using an old email address as the icloud login, which i don't have a password to / never used for an icloud account. I have gone and changed my settings to a different email on my icloud / apple ID but on my phone it won't let me change the email address for icloud, it's greyed over and keeps trying to verify?
Welcome to the Apple community.
If you mean that Find My Phone is asking for a password to a different Apple ID to your current Apple ID.
This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details.
The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone" and delete the account from your device.
You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, save it once again and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

When pressing Ctrl+f to find something in a page the Find box remains open until I close it, in ALL tabs I have in the firefox window. How can I make firefox open the Find box ONLY in the tab I am in?
Firefox 4 and later versions save the previous session automatically, so there is no longer need for the dialog asking if you want to save the current session.<br />
Use "File > Exit" or "Firefox > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit Firefox") if you want to restore multiple windows.<br />
You can use "History > Restore Previous Session" to get the previous session at any time.<br />
You may need to click the orange/gray Firefox button to see History.<br />
There is also a "Restore Previous Session" button on the default <b>about:home</b> Home page.
Another possibility is to use:

Can someone explain what is the benefit of the Find My iPhone feature?
I've upgraded my iPhone 4 to the next OS and it comes with the Find My iPhone feature. It took me a while to set it up, but it's OK, especially when it's free for those lucky iPhone 4 users. But now the question I have, what is the benefit of this feature? (Well besides spying on your girlfriend or wife) I mean, if someone steals my iPhone all they need to do is to delete the mobile me account, or better, turn this feature off. It's not even password protected. Maybe I'm just not getting something???
Obviously once my phone is lost I'm going to change my password on my emails right away and call AT&T to freeze my account.
You are assuming that you will know your phone is lost or stolen the instant it happens. Don't be so naive. Unless your iPhone is glued to your forehead it could be hours or maybe the next morning before you realize it's gone.
This is not where you should store that stuff.
Who are you to say what people should or shouldn't store on their smartphone? Above you admit you're not even aware of Apps that can store data (credit cards for instance) as securely as the banks and websites you use them at.
Apple's approach to encryption is mostly based on "security by obscurity", or, "our operating systems don't get hacked often... and thus we're safe." But this is VERY wrong!
Actually, you're wrong and clearly know very little about security PERIOD. Anyone who doesn't use even the basic security built-in to any device simply because it is an "inconvenience" almost deserves to have their identity stolen.
Educate yourself a little on some of Apple's iPhone security measures by reading: http://images.apple.com/iphone/business/docs/iPhone_Security.pdf
No device is immune to the most determined hackers but to say Apple's approach is mostly "security by obscurity" just highlights how little you know about such things. -
How to use the find my iphone feature?
I lost my Ipod Touch 4 at school but i did not have the find my iphone feature turned on so I couldn't track it. Is it true that you can use the find my iphone app on another person's apple device to track yours? How?
No, you have to either have the Apple FindMuPhone/iPod feature turned on or installed a third-party app. The iPod musy also bo connected to the internet.
- If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.

From your iCloud account, you can go to Find My Phone and remove the iPhone from your devices list which will release it, or you could do a remote erase of the iPhone from iCloud.
