Will touch id stop my phone from being stolen and hacked into to bypass pin

will touch id stop my phone from being stolen and hacked into to bypass pin. a friend of mine said that if he found my phone he could plug it into itunes and retore it to new and earase the phone and keep it as his own. the only reason  why i would get the iphone 5s is because of the touch id only if it would make the phone useless to anyone who has my phone besides me and would not be able to hack into it. i like my iphone 4s and that was ther reason why i didnt get 5. but 5s would be a good by for me if anyone could let me know if touch id is the solution to phone theft. I think itunes should have a password in order to access the phone anyways. also is apple going to use landscape mode anymore. it seems like more and more apps are fading away form this but i have big hands and landscape mode is a lot more comfortable in my hands. I dont see why i could enable a landscape mode for my home screen layout and all the other apps that i would like to use my phone sideways for. thanks

Change your Apple ID in Settings/Messages, certainly. As he is your ex I would also get a new Apple ID for purchases, although this will mean you will have to buy any apps purchased using his Apple ID all over again.

  • Stop network home from being created and shared on login

    I have successfully set up a OD server bound to Active Directory. I have the shares set up exactly how I want them - except - I don't want network users to have their home folder automatically created. I am only using AD for authentication and not network home folders. Is there a way for when a user logs in to not have the home folder created on the server and thus preventing it from being shared. I only want the shares that I have specified in the Share Point window to show up.

    Hi there,
    I bring good tidings .
    After some tweeking I've gotten this to work.
    Replace [YOURDOMAIN] with the first part of the FQDN, e.g. my.domain.net will make MY.plist
    Step 1:
    copy /Library/Preferences/OpenDirectory/Configurations/Active Directory/[YOUDORMAIN].plist to your Desktop
    Change the permissions so you can edit the plist file (I use Plist Editor pro to edit.)
    Step 2:
    Find the key:
    MCXDockSpecialFolders-Raw
    Step 3:
    Delete the string under it:
    0          AddDockMCXOriginalNetworkHomeFolder
    Step 4:
    sudo cp [YOURDOMAIN].plist /Library/Preferences/OpenDirectory/Configurations/Active Directory/[YOURDOMAIN].plist
    Reboot and watch the magic happen!!
    I have been fiddling about with some other settings in this plist, it seems to be very powerfull.
    I don't know why apple doesn't make options in the AD Plugin to manage these settings, but then again power = the power to break things.
    I still mount the network home drive, but I do it with a login hook so that I have the power.
    Hope to have made some people happy, but I bet I have.
    It's a pity I don't get points for resolving issues myself, this one would be word many points.

  • My password protected phone was stolen and hacked into.  How can I prevent someone like this from hacking into/getting around the passcode?  They now have access to everything on my phone (I had a passcode to prevent this)

    How can you prevent a hacker from bypassing your iphone passcode?  My phone was stolen and someone hacked in and has access to everything on my phone and turned off "find my iphone."  This is exactly what I wanted to prevent from happening and the reason why I had a passcode. 

    Turn on "Erase Data" in Settings>Passcode. That will wipe the data after 10 incorrect password attempts.
    Turn off "Simple Passcode" in the same place and use something other than a 4 digit pin as your passcode.
    Also make sure Find my iPhone is enabled so you can locate and if necessary, forcibly wipe the phone.

    Everything that you have checked in your icloud settings will be shared between devices using the same Apple ID.  If you don't want icloud to share that information, then simply turn off that process under settings > icloud

    SOLUTION FOR UNREAD COMCAST MAIL...so far, so good
    I went to Comcast.net and created a folder titled "Archive 10-2-13" and then went back into my inbox on the site and clicked the 'select all' box at the top of the email page. I could only see what would fit on my screen, but figured out that if I scrolled ALL the way to the very end (which was a l-o-n-g time for 30,000 emails) and then clicked "move to' at the top of the page and chose "Archive 10-2-13"..all my mail went there and no longer comes up as unread on my iPhone.
    I don't know if this will work for other POP accounts (Hotmail, etc.) but HALLELUJAH! I have ZERO unread email messages showing!

    How old was this backup? It sounds like it was at least several weeks old.
    You can look directly in the TM backup for the music.
    1. Connect to the external HDD the backup is kept on.
    2. Open a Finder window and select the backup drive in the left hand panel. Double click into the folders until you see a list of folders with dates.
    These are the incremental backups. You can start at the top or the bottom of the list but I suggest you double Latest/<HDD Name>/Users/<Account Name>/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Music. From this location you can start looking for the "missing" music. When/if you find it you can simply drag-n-drop to ~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Music on the internal HDD.
    If the music is actually not in the backups (for whatever reason) then you've got a problem.
    You can download the uploaded files from the cloud by deleting the affected tracks from the iTunes library (but not the cloud!), highlighting multiple tracks at once, right-clicking and choosing "download."

  • How do you stop the phone from attempting to logon to a deleted email account?

    When I first got my phone Skype video was not available so I opened a Yahoo email account so that I could use them for video calls.  I got frustrated with the phone in that about half of the time that I turned it on it would tell me that it couldn't connect to the Yahoo servers due to an invalid password.  Other times it would connect successfully.
    I went to the default email app and found an option to delete the Yahoo account.  I even went to the Yahoo web site and deleted the email account from there. 
    I thought that I had successfully deleted the account but now I get a message that the phone can't access the Yahoo servers every time I turn the phone on.  Any ideas on how to stop the phone from attempting to access the Yahoo email servers?
    I've checked and the email app doesn't list Yahoo and I can't find any reference to Yahoo in the apps section.
    Thanks.

    Nevermind, I fixed it (I think).  I went into Settings | Accounts & Sync and found Yahoo at the bottom of the list (alphabetically).  I selected it and it had an optiion to delete the account, which I did.

    Change the password for your AppleID you used to set up iMessaging, and do not tell them the password.  Tell them to get their own AppleIDs for use with their own iMessage accounts.

    Hello JinxUK,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with the iCloud Control Panel.  I found an article referencing the error message you are getting:
    “Your setup couldn't be started because of an unexpected error.”
    Apple is investigating this issue. This article will be updated as more information becomes available.

  • Does anyone know of a VI or how to go about writing one that will prevent the computers time/date from being disabled while an application is running.

    Does anyone know of a VI or how to go about writing one that will prevent the computers clock/time from being disabled while an application is running. The time and date can normally be reset while an application is running by clicking on the time/date in the lower right-hand corner of the computer screen. I have an application that runs over several days and it is critical that the time and date of the computer not be changed. Is there an easy way to lock this out from the user? Note that I am what I consider an advanced beginner in LV.
    Thank you,
    Chuck
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    That is not something you can do from LabVIEW, as it is an operating system operation, and it will depend on the operating system that you're using. On Windows you can use a group policy to control this. Please Google on "prevent time and date change in windows".
    Also, please try to refrain from stuffing your entire message in the subject block. Keep the subject short, but descriptive enough so it can be understood what you are basically asking. Thanks.

  • How to stop the Dialog from being dragged

    I was hoping that someone could tell me when calling a Dialog from Jframe, a how to stop the Dialog from being dragged
    while a dialog is showing.
    When it is visible I can still click and drag the Dialog
    I want to set it so you can not drag it until the dialog has be closed.

    If you don't have access to the parent frame, a "hack" that usually works:
    Frame frame = Frame.getFrames()[0];
    if (null != frame && frame instanceof JFrame){
    JFrame jf = (JFrame)frame;
    JDialog jd = new JDialog(jf, "title");
    ... code here ...
    As each JFrame (or Frame) is opened, its stored in the array of Frames that you can get. Same thing with Dialog.getDialogs(). Almost always, at least so far for me I've never had this problem, the [0] index is the main window opened, or the parent/top frame. I'd put the check in there to be safe and make sure its a JFrame and usually you'll only have the one JFrame.
