When trying to use find my Iphone  says off line , suggestion is to switch on and off airplane mode , so are you saying when you have your phone nicked you should leave a note for the thief to do this so we can trace him?

    - 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 to 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

    Your iPhone was not put into Lost Mode because of an unexpected error. Try enabling Lost Mode again.

    lost my iphone 4s tried touse find my iphone app but always saying off line any ideas

    Two possibilities:
    1. Maybe it's not turned on.
    2. Maybe the iPad is wiped (setup as new)

  • I've lost my ipod. I tried to use find my iPhone and it says my ipod is offline what should I do?

    What should I do?

    Leave your contact info via Find My iPhone. The message will display next time it's connected to the internet, and when it does, you will receive an email telling you that the message is displayed and your iPod is located somewhere.
    Chances are, you may never hear from it. Hope you have it running iOS 7.1 (which equips the device with Activation Lock, a feature that allow no one other than you access to your device) since for those running iOS 6 and below the device can be wiped and sold hands down. (It's worth mentioning though, iOS 7.0.x has a bug that allow some "clever" thieves to wipe your device despite the Activation Lock.)
    Don't beat yourself up. You don't have to FaceTime it -- If a call could come through, so would a Find My iPhone message. (And you should receive an email message.) Just wait for a few days for any email message and if there is none, I'm sorry.

  • Various problems when trying to use both my iPhone 4 and iPhone 5 at the same time? HELP!

    I am experiencing a wide range of problems with both of my iPhones. They are both a 4 and a 5. I will list the problems I am having.
    Using both phones:
    A few weeks ago I recieved a new phone, the iPhone 5 as my contract was renewed. I backed-up my old phone, the iPhone 4 to my computer and restored it onto my 5. But when using my 5, I discovered it has 'no service' (but will use wifi), it won't send IMs OR texts and Apple constantly keeps asking me for my Apple ID which i recently changed but still uses the old email, and won't accept any passwords.
    The 5 used to send IMs and texts but they would be sent to my friends through my email address, so I googled this and went to messages>send and recieve, and the only thing i can select is my email, not my number. I am using the 4 as well, purely so I can send texts and IMs through my name, not my email. The 4 also has signal and wifi, whereas the 5 only has wifi. I am wondering if the 5 has no signal and won't send IMs & texts because I am still using another phone? Surely they both cannot work together, so I was thinking I could reset my iPhone 4, and then see if the iPhone 5 will work, once the second phone isn't used anymore. If that doesn't work, I thought I could reset my 4, back-up my 5 and then restore again. I think that will work, but I have no idea.
    I have absolutely had it with trying to figure it out, I have used google but nothing seems to work. I am really hoping someone can tell me what to do with all my phone problems, because they are absolutely driving me mad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 
    I need to use the 5, it is costing me an extra £60 a month to use and I feel as though that money is being wasted as I can't text, IM or call people. Should i just get rid of the 4 and see what happens? I read online that to stop iMessages coming through as your email, you should turn it off and use regular texts. BUT I DO NOT WANT TO DO THIS. I send way too many texts, and it would cost a fortune. I also can't send photo messages on texts, because they cost a bomb to send through. I want to be able to use both texts and iMessages - using my name, not my email. 
    To add on to that huge essay I have written, on both phones Apple CONSTANTLY asks me for my Apple ID which I recently changed. I changed the email and the password, and it is coming up with the wrong email, and whatever password I put in, it still says it is wrong. It doesn't make sense, because yesterday I purchased some music from iTunes and when asked for my Apple ID, it used the right email and accepted the correct password. ...??? yet it still keeps getting it wrong, even though it worked in iTunes. ??!?
    Okay so I just reset my iPhone 4, and nothing seems to have changed...I thought if I reset it, it would be completely wiped, like a brand new iPhone 4, but it's not....THIS IS SO IRRITATING! Can someone please help me! I GREATLY appreciate any answers, hopefully someone on the internet can fix my problem! thank you for taking the time to read this essay, I am very thankful. PS. Both phones are up to date.

    You said, "the 4 also has signal and wifi whereas the 5 has only wifi". By "signal", I'm assuing that you mean cellular signal. If so, that means your iPhone 4 is still active on your cellular number and your iPhone 5 is not. Contact your carrier to sort out which phone is active on your account.

    Hi Matt!
    I have found a couple of articles that will have relevant information about your issue. The first is about possible iTunes Store errors, and it can be found here:

    The specific error you are speaking of (-39) leads you to this article, which is about advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting:

  • MIRO should be allowed only for the accepted Qty (QC accepted qty)

    Hi Friends
    I have one more requirement ,
    MIRO should be allowed only for the accepted Qty (QC accepted qty) or Subcontract MIRO should be allowed only for the quantity accepted by QC
    with QM control key in material master(QM view) we can block for payment,
    but  my query is  MIRO should not be saved (message should come qty still lying in Quality inspection stock)
    Please let me know the settings,
    Thanks & Regards
    Gajendranath

    Hii,
    Yes it is possible to restrict Invoice passing in MIRO if the Stock is in Quality stock / Blocked stock. The concept is while doing MIRO, u can validate the criteria by clicking simulation tab. U can get the things in BADI (Business ad in function) with the BADI object name as "Invoice_update".
    The working is when the material is in quality stock & If ur doing MIRO for the same material, then system will pop up the message that "material with "X" qty is in quality stock" Invoice cannot be made. System does'nt allow u to pass the Invoice unless the stock is cleared from the quality. Even for the blocked stock we can simulate these error pop message.
    with regards,
    K.Lokesh.
