Undoing iphone wipe via "find my phone" while it is still pending?
I thought i had lost my iphone but found it! I used "find my phone" to delete it, but haven't turned it on yet in case there is a way to save the pictures on there as I hadn't synced the device to save them as yet? I had bought a replacement iphone (4) and used my icloud id to restore it, but the pictures weren't on photstream as yet? PLEASE HELP!
Welcome to Apple Support Communities
I'm sorry, but you can't undo this action. The only thing you can do in order to avoid that all your information is deleted from your device is not to connect the phone to the Internet. Doing it, it won't be wiped, so you can connect your phone to your Mac or PC and copy your photos to it

Basically I went to put my iPhone 4 into lost mode and it said offline (which means they signed out my apple id ) put I clicked lost mode and anyway will it still lock even if it is offline
The device will automaticly lock itself once its connected to the internet.

I don't remember my passcode and can't restore it via find my phone or through iTunes.
I just recently found my iPad that I haven't used in about a year after getting a Mac. I don't remember the passcode that I had on it so I can't get into it. I went onto iCloud.com and tried to erase everything via find my phone so that I could get into it, but it won't work until the iPad is connected to the internet. Wifi is on, but the iPad isn't connecting. I tried hooking it up to my computer and restoring it to factory settings that way, but it said that I have to turn off find my phone first. So I went back to the iCloud website and removed the iPad from my apple ID thinking this would turn off any find my phone things connected to my iPad. Apparently I was wrong. So now I am locked out from trying whatever pass codes come to mind because I have put the wrong one in too many times, the data won't erase because it's not connected to the internet, and I can't restore it because it is waiting to connect to the internet to erase the data. On top of all that, since it is an older iPad, I can't chat with apple support without paying $29.00. So is there anything else I can try to get this unlocked or do I just have a $300 paperweight?
FORCE IPAD INTO RECOVERY MODE
1. Turn off iPad
2. Turn on computer and launch iTunes (make sure you have the latest version of iTune)
3. Plug USB cable into computer's USB port
4. Hold Home button down and plug the other end of cable into docking port.
DO NOT RELEASE BUTTON until you see picture of iTunes and plug
5. Release Home button.
ON COMPUTER
6. iTunes has detected iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTunes.
7. Select "Restore iPad"...
Note:
1. Data will be lost if you do not have backup
2. You must follow step 1 to step 4 VERY CLOSELY.
3. Repeat the process if necessary. -
With ios 7 and the iPhone can someone use their phone while also using a text to speech app, such as Speak It or Assistive Chat? These apps are used by people who have difficulty with speech production.
Thank you.My iPhone 5 wouldn't start after I turned it off a few minutes after writing this. It went into recovery mode and I had no choice but to connect to iTunes on PC and restore.
I restored to factory setting first, just to validate my phone was okay. For a second consecutive iOS update, the iPhone 5 did not update smoothly while connected to PC and iTunes - I had to retry two times before the progress bar for the update showed. (The exact same problem with the restart occured when I updated to 7.0.4.)
The good news is that I was ultimately able to restore the iPhone 5 to factory settings while running iOS 7.0.6. I did have a backup from about a month ago lying around and was able to successfully restore with that as well, so the damage done is almost negligible since I had my contacts, notes, mail, etc. backed up to iCloud.
Once I completed both restores, the sync with iTunes worked fine. -
I just used "Erase" via "Find my phone" to erase and reset my MBP. It's caused my MBP to be locked. I entered correct 4 digit PIN and it seemed to accept it, but it won't allow use of the internal drive. Yosemite loaded. Anyone else had same problem?
Greetings Fraser Alexander,
Erasing your Mac shouldn't harm your internal hard drive but erasing does clear Yosemite and everything else off of it. Are you not able to restore it with your Time Machine backup?
iCloud: Erase your device
If you erase then find your Mac, you can restore the information on the Mac using a Time Machine backup. For more information, see the Apple Support article Recover your entire system. If you set an EFI firmware password on your Mac before it was lost, then erase it and later find it, you may need to take your Mac to an authorized repair center to unlock it before you can use it again.
OS X Yosemite: Recover your entire system
Take care,

I need to change the home folder name. I just bought this mac today and my cousin put his name in because he had to back up his phone while we were still at the store so he could get a new phone and now my brand new imac says his name in the home folder. This is very frustrating. I would not have let him put his name in there if I didn't think you could change it. Someone please help!
Delete his user account and create your own, using your name.

Cant locate my phone (lumia 720) via find my phone...
Hi there,
I am from India. I have been using my Lumia 720 since few months its been great using. Recently I had misplaced my phone, fortunately it was with my friend (playing prank on me). That day I checked the microsoft website to locate it on the map, to ensure that i can find it next time. But the site had only 3 options Ring, Lock and Erase option and there wasnt any map showing my phones location.
I have enabled all the options in find my phone. Please do help me with this as soon as possible.
Thanks and regards.

I have lost my iphone. I rang my service provider who deactivated my sim card as I am on a contract. I logged into icloud and my device is appearing offline however i requested the erase iphone feature.. which is still pending. My question is how safe is my information... If someobody was to put there sim into my iphone would it delete my info as soon as they got signal? I luckily had a security code activated when the phone is switched on this must be entered and when the phone locks. Any help would be appreciated.
The erase will be executed if it ever goes back online with Find My iPhone still enabled on the phone, whether that's via wifi or 3G. The good news is that if you set a passcode on the phone before it was lost your data is safe even if the remote erase command isn't executed. The only way someone would be able to use the phone without the passcode is to force it into recovery mode (which erases all data) and restore it as a new iPhone.

Is there a way to locate an iPhone without the 'Find my phone' app?
I lost my phone this morning over a strip of 40 miles driving - phone was on roof. I did not already have the find my iPhone app on my phone and am wondering if there is an alternative way to locate the general location of my phone? Thank you.
No way other than looking for it.

Is it possible to track down my lost iPhone without the "Find my phone"-thing?
I´ve lost my iPhone 5 and I dont have Find my iPhone activated on the phone. Is it possible to track it down without it?
If it is with iOS8: nobody will be able to use it, just a bit of junk. So this might help in having the honest finder to contact you or the police.

Editing Account While "Order is Still Pending"
I am attempting to add a line/new device to my plan but keep receiving the following message:
Unable to Add New Device at this time
You currently have a pending order on this account. You have the option to return to My Verizon to add a new device after the order has been completed or you may contact Customer Service at (800) 922-0204 for assistance with your order.
Two days ago I changed my data plan from 3 GB to 2 GB monthly. My billing cycle does not end for 13 days. Do I have to wait until the next billing cycle to purchase a new device and activate it?What happened was you futuredated the plan change. Because you went down in price, it did not allow you to backdate it... just call customer service, they'll cancel the plan switch pending and put it into affect today so you can place your order (:
