No app is required.
- 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.
iCloud: Find My iPhone
- You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
- If off-line/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 unless you had iOS 7 on the device. With iOS 7, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.
- Apple will do nothing without a court order
Reporting a lost or stolen Apple product

What are the options if one iPad was stolen last week and Apple created a bug which the burglar can turn off "Find My Phone"?

Last week, my gf was stolen and lost her iPad. I thought that everything was lost because "Find My Phone" didn't manage to track the iPad location so the police could do something.
Today, I ended up reading this article (http://9to5mac.com/2014/04/03/ios-7-bug-allows-anyone-to-disable-find-my-iphone- and-bypass-activation-lock-without-a-password/) which tells me that the iOS 7.1 presents a bug where someone can deactivate the "Find My Phone" function without the password.
What are the options here so I can rehave the stolen iPad, which Apple helped the burglar to keep it or even sell it?
Appreciate your cooperation

Apple didn't "help the burgler" do anything. Did she have a passcode on the device? If so, the thief would not have been able to access any of the functions needed to disable Find My Phone. Also, if the device doesn't show up in iCloud's Find My Phone, it may be that it is simply turned off, or not connected to a network.

After much consideration, today I decided to join Adobe Photoshop CC only to discover it is not available to me as my laptop has Windows Vista. What are my options other than having to buy a new computer or an old version like Ps5 or 6?

1-Do some more reading about a Windows "upgrade version" which, according to my experience, does NOT require you to format your drive... it upgrades over what you have, without disturbing installed programs... at least that is what happened the ONE time I installed an upgrade version, so I can't give a 100% assurance it will work that way with your computer... search link for all things Microsoft http://search.microsoft.com/search.aspx?mkt=en-US&setlang=en-US
2-Depending on the hardware you have, you may not be able to run CC programs well, if at all
3-CS6 is 3+ years old and is the ONLY non-CC version still being sold... unless you can find a "legal" CS5 somewhere

My wife has a small Mac book. I'd like to get her an inexpensive second monitor. What are my options?

You'll probably need two things: Most MacBooks don't have a standard video plug so you'll need a dongle to connect the computer to the display. Which dongle she needs depends on which computer she owns and whether you buy an analog or digital display. I recommend digital. I have two displays that I like a lot, one is a Dell 22" HD - rather expensive but gorgeous and the other is a 24" Samsung digital - much less expensive but very good. If you aren't sure which dongle to get look under the Apple menu for About this Mac and then click on the more information button and you'll get the exact computer model use that information to search the net or come back here and let us know which model she owns.

What are some of the best cases for iPhone 5c?

What are some of the best clear cases for the iPhone 5c that can protect the phone well?

I was wondering the same thing? I have a hard time with buying a case, because I bought the phone because of the color it already is! lol
I was thinking about going with something like the Spigen Case Bumper. Still allows you to see the color of the phone and still have protection.

My iMac's hard drive is almost full - what are my options?

My beloved iMac is running out of space inside
It says my hard drive has 232.57 GB, and that there's only 18.07 GB remaining. Eeek!
What are my options making more space on my hard drive? I know my biggest problem is iTunes, especially videos. My music library is taking up 6 MB, and videos 78 MB. I'm not tech-savvy in the slightest.
Somebody help? Thanks!

Using the external drive for more storage works fine. You can use Apple's method for formally changing location of the +iTunes Music+ (which also contains your iTunes videos). However, I use a different way that I like better, because you are not changing the iTunes settings (and you can easily undo it).
If iTunes is running, quit.
If you are using default settings, the +iTunes Music+ folder should be located at
<user home folder>/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music/
First copy this +iTunes Music+ folder to the external drive. Now, you have it in two locations. Change the name of the original folder from +iTunes Music+ to +iTunes Music old+ (or some other name). Make an alias (short cut) of the NEW +iTunes Music+ folder on the external drive. To do this (in case you are not familiar with using aliases) select the NEW +iTunes Music+ folder in a Finder window and
menu bar > File > Make Alias
or drag the folder while holding down Option-Command. You should see the curly arrow next to the icon indicating an alias will be created where you drop it.
Place the alias in the original location of the +iTunes Music+ folder (where you changed the name to +iTunes Music old+)
<user home folder>/Music/iTunes/
and name it exactly +iTunes Music+ (if you need to rename it). You are making the alias replace the original +iTunes Music+ folder, and have it point to your new +iTunes Music+ folder on the external drive.
When you run iTunes, it should be accessing your new +iTunes Music+ folder on the external, but you are able to keep iTunes using the default settings. To prove to yourself that the new +iTunes Music+ folder is being used, do something like rip a new CD or download a free song from the iTunes Store. Then check that the file ended up on the external drive. You can also do a +Get Info+ on any song or video (in iTunes) and verify that the file location is on the external drive.
(If something goes wrong, just get rid of the alias and rename +iTunes Music old+ back to +iTunes Music+.)
Once you are confident that all of your files are accessible and being accessed from the external drive, you can delete the old +iTunes Music+ folder on the internal drive.
Separate point...
You should also get another external drive that is at least as large as the filled space on your internal drive and your current external drive. Twice as large would actually be better. So if you have two 250GB drives that you plan to have at most 75% full, a 750GB external drive would be ideal. Then, you can use Time Machine to back up both your internal drive and external drive, to the new external drive. Getting an external drive with both FireWire and USB 2.0 would give you the most flexibility.

What are the options "alert" and "passes" under my account info?

Hi guys, I was going on viewing my account info, and I happened to see some options which I have no idea what are their usage? Can someone tell me what is the option "passes" and "alert" for? Thank you

Passes will list any season passes you have purchased and still have some left to get.
Alerts is to notify you of new music from artists you select.
Go to the artist page in iTunes and scroll to the bottom and click on *Alert me*.

Only the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.

Buying New Phone but Contract can't yet what are my options???

Okay I dropped my phone in some water and had to find a replacement it is a razor but being it was given to me there are issues with it... The phone changes settings on its own and I can't access VM called Verizon and they can't help with changing it and the one that is in the phone is unknown. Talke with Verizon and then Tech Support and they did nothing and said they have no way to know what it is did a master reset and so on.
So here is my question being the contract the phone is under does not allow new phones till December and I can't extend the contract being it is a business phone what are my options? From what I learned buying just a phone from Verizon is a costly one, and if you buy one from an online source the two I got where prepay only and not able to be used on an existing contract.
If I take my replacement used phone to a Verizon Store can they get the Pin number out of? I know they are there to sell you a new phone and want you to extend your contract . The cost of a "NEW" Phone is in the hundereds of dollars when you get it for next to nothing when you sign a contract.
Is there any good place I can get a "New Phone and reactivate it as a replacement and know what the pins are being the one I have now though used Verizon can't not hop[ena dn since it turns off the ringer now and then I miss calls and get vms I can get.
Any suggestions or just go and buy a new phone whatever the best cost is and be done with this???
ANy information on what I can do seems that Verzion can only help so far via the phone and going to a store from what I have experienced and heard is requiring an contract extension and then you get a new phone for a better price. Which again I can not do.
Just looking for some good information on wat the options are???
MikeMich

Thanks, Looks like I am stuck with the current phone even though no one at Verizon can assist me in getting the pin for the vm feature. As for ebay I contacted 2 sellers that stated their phones were good to be used on Contract the first one I got I called attempted to activate it and they told me it could only be used as a "PrePaid" Phone. I had to return it and the seller want me to end the transaction as if his listing was valid even though it stated could be used on a existing contract. Being he was also in Michigan I got it within a few days but then had to return it. Seems many list their phones like this but when you contact them and ask they kind of side step it and the auction ends. This seller had good feedback maybe because some don't leave any because of the same issue. I looked at whast the phones are listed at an 300 + unless you sign an additional 2 years which I can't do being it is a company phone and paying twice is also not worth it using it as a prepaid phone for 6 months...
Looks like they got you anyway so I will just have to continue getting vms and no access and hope the phone lasts until they can get new ones...
Sad fact is there should be a better way to get a replacement phone. Since I don't know any Verizon Dealers when I had another carrier the guy was great he would do anything including rebuild a doa phone with parts he collected as people upgrade but at Verizon they just want you to "upgrade" and "extend" the contract Which I am not the admin person to make that decision
Guess you have to know someone and I don't...
Such is life these days...At least for me....

Want to downgrade from Leopard to Tiger - what are my options?

Hi,
I installed Leopard on my partner's iBook G4 (1.2ghz) and its speed has reduced to a crawl. I would like to go back and re-install Tiger from its original install discs but need to retain the home folder. What are my options and am I going to come across any issues downgrading? (aside from any apps that require Leopard)
Thanks,
Neil

If you had an external FireWire hard disk drive enclosure,
of the bootable-type chipset, Mac compatible, and chose
to clone the Leopard full installation to that external drive
(as most externals do have or can be equipped with a
faster spinning hard disk drive, it boots performance and
could be used at home for desktop computing) it is very
possible to clone the OS X and everything off the iBook
and again try your luck with Tiger 10.4.11 in the iBook.
If clones appear to be an option, be certain the cloned
computer contents (a full computer clone) is made on
a partitioned hard disk drive in proper enclosure; and
the clone is tested prior to erasing the host computer's
original drive contents. You can make clones and then
there are Clones. Some can just work, but once in
awhile, they don't. The two well known clone utilities
are good options, and reading up on the topic helps.
re: Carbon Copy Cloner, Bombich; and Super Duper.
Free space may be at a premium in the small internal
hard disk drive of the iBook; and older previous system
folders, saved from other Archives, Updates, etc may
have to be looked for, and trashed if they exist.
The latest iLife 09 was not recommended in some
hardware configurations by users and others who
tried that version in older PPC hardware; the iTunes
is a download, so it should work in Tiger equally well.
The iDVD and iMovie, may have issues; iPhoto is
OK in some older PPC G4s and not others.
And older applications added to the installation which
worked well under Tiger may not be happy in Leopard.
And your mileage may vary...
Good luck & happy computing!

Logic Express 7.0.1 What are my options?

I´m stuck! Have been inactive for some time (cancer) and after upgrading my iMac operating system up to OS 10.6.8, my old Logic Express 7.0.1 does not open. Upgrade 7.1 does not work. In December I found and bought from the On Line Store an upgrade for Logic Express 6, 7, 8, but a wrong shipping address sent the parcel back to Apple which credited my card and in stead of sending this back to me said they don´t carry this item any more.
Now I don´t seem to find anything that brings me back into business. What are my options????

I don't see any problem with trying LE7 in a Leopard environment. Usually newer OS have backwards compatibility with older software. However, just in case, have all your valuable data backed up before upgrading. With all bases covered you can easily revert to the old setup if something goes wrong under Leopard. The only thing you can lose is time spent to re-install Tiger and LE7.

What are some options, in case someone has stolen my device
