I've read some forums that say I have to overwrite it with a silent sound file but I do not understand how to do this.
You have to jailbreak your phone to do this, voiding all warranty & support. Just flip the Ring/Silent switch when you send.

My MacBook was stolen and I need to know the MAC address
An emergency question to Apple support. My MacBook was stolen and I need to know the MAC address of its network card. I have a receipt with the serial number of my MacBook. Can you assist?
My serial: W8***66D
Thank you
p.s Any ideas how I can find it?Report the theft to your local authorities.
Apple has no means of tracking thefts, as thieves themselves may claim the machine is theres just by looking up the information on the computer, and unless you registered the machine, it is really their word against yours, unless you also have receipt or other information that they can track to your receipt against your serial number.
Your homeowners insurance may be able to recoup the cost.
In the future, consider getting Lapcop, or Lojack for notebooks.
Good luck! -

My i phone was stolen and now I need to upload my contacts to my i cloud from my I tunes...any ideas how to import contacts into i cloud, with either i tunes or with old iphone?
If you have the contacts on the phone you can sync the phone to the computer. The contacts should then show in address book. At this point you can sync the address book data to iCloud. You have to make sure the iCloud account is setup on the computer and this will not work unless the computer is running 10.7.2 of course. There are other ways to add the contacts to iCloud like through the phone but the phone must be running iOS5. If it is you can simply add the cloud account to the phone and toggle the contacts slider. You will get a prompt to keep or delete the contact data. Of course you keep. Then you will get a prompt to merge at which point you do. This should merge the contacts on the phone with iCloud. Hope this helps.

Can you help me get all my previous information from Itunes onto my new IPhone?
My other one was stolen and now I can't transfer my pictures and music. It keeps asking for a passcode? I have tried my apple passcode, my phone code...What does it want?If iTunes is asking for a password to restore from an iTunes backup, then yes, you did set one up. You must have selected 'Encrypt iPhone Backup' when you created the backup. If you don't remember the password, then you'll have to restore the device as new.

I thought my mail was backed up in my .me account but when my computer was stolen and I went to restore my email in my new one, all I had were emails in the inbox. Is there any way I can retrieve the saved file directory? I did not back up the mail because that was being done by the .me account (I thought)
If her data was not backed up or synced to something, it's gone. Sorry.

My iPod was stolen and now I can't access my iTunes account
My iPod was stolen and within half an hour my iTunes account was locked from an attempted hack.
I reset all the passwords and have since gotten a new iPod but anytime I try to login to my account everything freezes. I can access it online and on this forum, obviously, but my laptop running windows7 freezes instantly and my desktop computer running windows XP freezes as soon as I try to go to the store.
How do I fix this? It happens on both the computers I had authorized for that iPod and I'm not sure what to do.
Do I need to delete my account and start over? If so how would I do that? I've been told it is extremely difficult and usually results in the loss of use of iTunes on any computers you had authorized before.
At this point I don't even care about the money I'll lose on my old account I just want my music back.This won't get your old messages back but will help with new ones: https://selfsolve.apple.com/deregister-imessage

If my iPhone3GS was stolen and i do not have a FindMyiPhone or MoblieMe app can i still issue a insurance claim
A warranty and insurance are two different things.
The iPhone one year limited warranty doesn't cover theft.
Apple - Legal
Reporting a lost or stolen Apple product
AT&T is your carrier, not an insurance company.
If you have home owner's or renters insurance, then the theft may be covered under that. -

Have you filed a dispute for unauthorised use of account on the transactions made? Also make sure you change your password and do a computer anti-virus scan on your computer. ***************************************** I give up my time to help you so a thank you or kudos would be cool.
Marking one of my replies as a solution would be appreciated if I sorted your problem.

So, when I plugged in my new iPhone to my computer, all my music, info, pictures, etc was uploaded from the last time I had synced my old iPhone that was stolen. I'm happy I didn't lose everything, but I also had purchased at least $30 in music on my old iPhone (NOT through the computer, just off my device) since that last sync. So my problem is, my iTunes account completely realizes I've purchased all that music but it is NO where in my purchased library on my computer or new iPhone (so the whole "just right-click and transfer you purchases" gimmick is a no-go). And when I go to the individual songs I'd bought to try and get them back, all it says is I've already bought the song but won't tell me the NO MAN'S LAND that these songs are hiding in!!
I've looked up a bunch of threads and am still unsuccessful. I know that I should be able to get these purchases back onto my new iPhone and my authorized computer but I just have no idea how. It is becoming increasingly frustrating and I realllly do not want to spend another $30 on stuff I've already bought so anything would be helpful at this point.
Thanks,
OliviaThis was EXACTLY what I needed about the purchases I made from my device. However, is there a way to re-download other ones you've made from a computer? Because I realized some of them were not just purchased from my device.
This is a picture of what it looks like now:

As you can see, the stuff circled in red doesn't give me an option to download from Cloud Beta because it already says "downloaded".
any way to get around that? -
my wife and I are now sharing the same laptop, mine was stolen, we have separate apple ID accounts. i upgraded to iphone 4 after the robbery and activated my phone on her laptop. when i try to download or upgrade apps her apple ID keeps popping up. can we have separate accounts using the same laptop with different phones? if so, how can i fix this?
It sounds as if you're using the same Mac OS X login account on that computer. If you create a separate login account for yourself, it will be as if you have two computers (other than the fact you can't both use it at the same time, of course).
Go to System Preferences->Users & Groups to create a new user account for yourself. Log out of your wife's account, then log in to your own account. You can now set up this user environment any way you like. When you launch iTunes the first time, enter your Apple ID and log in to the iTunes Store. Redownload all of your content. Then connect your iPhone to the computer using the USB cable - it will treat it as a new phone, let iTunes wipe the phone and set it up as new.
You might then want to set up Fast User Switching within System Preferences->Users & Groups which will allow you and your wife to swap the laptop between the two of you easily without even having to log out one account in order to log in to the other.

My MacBook Pro was stolen recently. I have the Find My Device app on but if the thief doesn't connect to wifi can he still access my photos? Also, can he switch my hard drive into a different computer/Mac and still have access to my photos, iTunes, iCloud, passwords, etc?
He can do whatever he chooses now that he has the Mac. Including removing the drive from it (or just accessing it normally). If he is experienced he will know how to reset the password or create a new account on it.
You should be worrying about all the personal data, are your credit card numbers on the machine, bank accounts, charge accounts. All are now compromised.
