If I restore my new iPhone from the back up of my old stolen one.. Will I still be able to track the stolen?

My iphone recently got stolen so I purchased a new one and plugged it into the computer and it gives me 2 options:
1. Set up as new phone
2. Restore from backup of "___'s phone"
If I restore it from the back up of my stolen phone, will I still be able to track the stolen phone still? Thanks

What I mean is still track my stolen one. I don't know if this will make sense to you but I'm thinking that if I restore the back up data on this phone..on my stolen phone it will like forget the icloud account or something and think this phone is the stolen one so when I go to track the stolen one, it will show that phone as the one I have now because I restored the back up from that phone.

My iphone 4s was stolen i have locked and set it up to erase content when the iphone is turned on, it has 'find my iphone' on it will i still be able to track it if it turns on? PLEASE HELP really want to find it

You're welcome.
Once again, the Find My iPhone app has no effect on this.
Find My iPhone must be enabled with your iCloud account settings on the iPhone.
Location Services must be enabled.
The iPhone must be connected to the internet via an available wi-fi network or via the carrier's cellular network.
If the iPhone is powered off, none of the Find My iPhone features can work, and the same if the thief or whoever has access to the iPhone has restored the iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone on another computer.

If I have both my iPhone and my iPad set up on the Find iPhone App, and I disable location services on my iPhone, will I still be able to track my iPad on this app?

If I have both my iPhone and my iPad set up on the "Find iPhone" app, and I disable location services on my iPhone, will I still be able to track my iPad from my iPhone by using this app?

iWork is universal, so it will work full-res on the iPad. This is true for any app which has the plus sign symbol (in the App Store in iTunes it will say "This app is designed for iPhone and iPad".

HT3406 If I choose "restore from iTunes backup" to move everything from old phone. Will I still be able to use the old phone for music and apps? Can the old phone be docked up to the computer? Or will the new and old phone overwrite each other in some

If I choose "restore from iTunes backup" to move everything from old iphone to a new one, will I still be able to use the old phone for music and apps? Can the old phone be docked up to that same computer every now and then? Or will the new and old phone overwrite each other in some way? In other words, are the two phones treated as different devices when the "restore" option is used to set up the new phone? Thanks in advance.

Yes, you can use the old iPhone as an iPod touch.

If i buy an iphone with a bad esn, will i still be able to use the apple appstore?

1. If I buy an iphone with a bad esn, will i still be able to use the apple app store?
2. Searching craigslist, it looks like iphones with a bad esn are cheaper than buying an ipod. If it's the same functionality, then is there a downside to getting an iphone with a bad esn instead of an ipod touch?
Thanks

Actually, you can in fact restore it or re-activate it using iTunes. A bad ESN just means it can't ne activated for phone service, but it can still be used as a touch. Phones with bad ESN's are not necessarily stolen, if the owner/account holder fails to pay their bill, the carrier will list with a bad ESN.

Lost my iphone ios 7.2.0 with a pass code an iCloud activate the thing is who ever finds my phone puts it on DFU mode and restore it I'm aware he can do that but can't use it without my iCloud will I be able to track the phone if connected to wifi

Lost my phone it had ios 7.2.0 with pass code and I cloud I'm aware it can be restore on DFU mode but can't use it if they don't have the iCloud user if and password the phones linked with. Question is in this process if the person connects it to his or her wifi to setup up the phone will I be able to track the phone after the restore ? Even though he can't use it because he has no Id no password

You can do nothing if it's not online. With a passcode and iOS 7.1 (there is no 7.2) the device is uselss because it cannot be erased except by you.

If we missed the live performances from SXSW, will we still be able to watch the performances after the artists have performed?

If we missed the live performances from SXSW, will we still be able to watch the performances after the artists have performed?

Yes, the app has a feature to playback the concert. I missed London Grammar and Imagine Dragons, but watched Coldplay. They were really excellent. Do love Apple for bringing this to us.

If I delete my songs from my "Downloads" folder, have them in my "Trash" and then delete them from my "Trash", will I still be able to play the songs on my iTunes or will they be deleted on my iTunes as well?

I want to clear some space on my Mac since it is filling up and I don't have much room left on it. I want to delete all my songs from my "Downloads" folder and then delete them from my "Trash" to free up space however, I'm worried that if I do this then iTunes will not play any of the songs I deleted.
Will I still be able to play my songs on iTunes even if they are not in my "Downloads" or "Trash" folders?
Thank you.

All tracks in iTunes (if you use default settings) should be in various artist and album folders in the main media folder in the iTunes folder. You can right click a track to reveal its location in Finder. If there's a copy there then it doesn't really matter what you do with other copies.
I have never downloaded from iTunes but I thought it placed files directly in the correct locations, or is this some other downloads folder to which you are referring?
Normally if you download a file from another source and add it to iTunes by dragging it there, or using the Add To menu item, it places a copy of the file in iTunes. You can discard the original, but if you're concerned you can check which copy iTunes is actually using as above.

If I cancel my membership will I still be able to use the products I have downloaded?

Hi,
I am wondering about buying a adobe creative cloud membership but I want to know if I will still be able to use the producats I have downloaded if I do decide to cancel.

No.
Other than the initial 30 day trial period, you can only use the software if you're a paid up member.
It's a subscription service. As a subscriber you can use the software. When you cancel, you lose access until you re-join.

I want to know what i tunes can and cannot do e.g if i lose my iphone and some one does a factory restore would i still be able to track the iphone?

i just got a new i phone and i cloud came up and i wanted to know weather i can still find my iphone if i do lose it when someone has done a factory restore on it ? and what would stop me from finding it

iTunes can't prevent it from being restored. A feature of iCloud is Find my iPhone, which must be enabled under Settings > iCloud, and will let you remotely track it, as well as send a message, play a sound, lock with a passcode, or wipe it remotely; either at http://icloud.com or on another iDevice's Find my iPhone app (free on the App Store).
Find my iPhone can be disabled by thieves if they:
Remove the SIM card from the phone
Turn it off
Restore it
Disable Location Services
Put it in Airplane Mode
Turn of Find my iPhone
You can stop some of these options by going to Settings > General > Restrictions and set a passcode just for restrictions. Then under "Allow changes to..." turn Location and Accounts OFF. If you ever need to make changes you would need to enter the passcode and disable restrictions.

If I backup my iPhone in iTunes then "Erase All Content and Settings", will I still be able to restore the iPhone?

I am asking this because my iPhone 4S is really starting to slow down. And I think is mainly due to the deleted text messages bug (i.e., they are still searchable in spotlight!), therefore not deleted off my phone and slowing it down. There are big delays opening up apps (especially Messages) and now, sometimes, my phone won't even vibrate when texts come in. I also just want to completely wipe the slate clean and start fresh, but I still would like to save the SMS conversations I already have. So I guess what I am afraid of is wiping my phone then iTunes sees the phone as a completely new phone and not "Drew's iPhone" therefore making a restore impossible. Would this be an issue at all?? Thank you!

If you restore your phone as new - your text message will be deleted from the phone.
If you erase all contents and settings and then restore from a backup, your text message will still be there.

Will we still be able to use the Adobe FormsCentral desktop app after FormsCentral retires?

Is it just the online service that is expiring?
Will I be able to create fillable PDF's using the desktop app (not online) to create fillable PDF's?
Thanks!

Hi LeanneW,
Please see this section from the End of support | Adobe FormsCentral document:
You may continue to use the Adobe FormsCentral desktop app for creating PDF forms until you update or upgrade your Acrobat software. But the app will not connect to any online component or offer the ability to collect data or publish web forms. Furthermore, we will not be supporting the application once Adobe FormsCentral is retired in July, and so cannot ensure functionality moving forward.
If you have additional questions, please let us know.
Best,
Sara
