"Wipe out" feature automatically set off... wiped out phone entirely

As I looked at my phone, I noticed it had turned blank, with the apple sign- I think I remember it being like this when I first got my phone and started the installation process.
My phone was COMPLETELY wiped out, and I had to reinstall everything from the beginning, set all my settings, etc.
To see if I had anything backed up on iCloud, I logged on, and it said "wiped 20 minutes ago"...
What could have caused this? (wipe out feature)
I thought the only way this could be was used was if the iTunes account holder did it themselves, if they lost their phone and wanted to erase everything for protection of privacy etc.
Are there any other ways the wipe out feature can be set off, or does it mean someone hacked into my iCloud/apple account?
This is really frustrating...

Hello
Same probleme on this end since a couple days.
Found this link which seems to reference directly to an apple posting.......so patience, help is on the way.....

Ipod touch automatically sets off HOME button

hi, I accidentally spilled water and got a little bit on my ipod. Afterwards, I noticed that after I charge it, the ipod would automatically hit the home button.
When I'm playing a game or have an app opened, it would close because it sets off the home button.
when I press the top button, it would sometimes take a picture because it's holding the home button.
When I leave it in lockscreen and screen off, the screen would automatically turn on.
1. Is there anyway to fix this? or to disable the home button when I'm in game.
2. Also, can I send it in for repair? The earbuds jack doesn't show any red from water spillage.
Thx, any insights would be appreciated.

also, when i put it near my static-y shorts, it sets off the home button.

Payment Terms in Vendor Advance payment & automatic set off aganist invoice

Dear Team,
As on 01.08.2014 there is advance payment made to vendor is Rs.10000 and the payment terms in vendor master 30 days and as on 16.08.2014 the vendor invoice has been raised for Rs.15000/- and the payment terms is same 30 days. According to the payment terms in the vendor invoice the net due date is calculated as 15.09.2014. Since already the advance payment is rs.10000 then how we can tel the system to consider this also and then calcuate net due date for the invoice raised as on 16.08.2014. Please suggest.
We suggested client to enter manually 0000 payment terms at the time of invoice. But they are not convinced.
Kindly check & do the needful
Regards,
Babu.

Hi Babu,
You have to clear the advance through F-54 and here you have to provide the invoice doc.no. under the relevant invoice-invoice. Then system will consider net due date of invoice for advance also. I have attached screen shot for your reference.

Mukthar

HT201299 Not enable or disable cellular data for certain iOS apps and features from setting? I keep it off but when I go to other app it on automatic

I can't enable or disable cellular data for certain iOS apps and features from setting.
When I off data for specific application and go to other option it automatic on all application
Any one can help

SOLUTION! (NO NEED TO RESET YOUR IPHONE SETTING!)
I have the same issue for the last two weeks. But i have already managed to solve the issue all by myself. When i go to Settings > Cellular > below the tab "use cellular data for:", i turned off some apps which i didnt want to use with cellular data. As soon as i go back to Settings, and then i went back to Cellular, the apps which i had switched off earlier, automatically turned back on.
Here's the solution:
Either you're using wifi or cellular data, first of all you're gonna hafto turn on the cellular data use for App Store. Once you have turned it on, go to App Store application. Update ALL the apps which have new updates available. If it asks you to log in your App Store, just do so. If there's something wrong with your debit or credit card information, it will ask you to update to a different card. Just do what it asks. Put in a new credit or debit card info and fill in the forms provided. The card you're using must be usable and has usable balance in it. Let's say atleast $10 to $20. As soon as it confirms your card successfully, the app updates will start automatically. Continue to update all the apps. After all updates are finished, go back to Settings > Cellular. Try to switch on or off some apps for data use and recheck.
Try it yourself! Have a nice day and don't put a blame on Apple for this.
From Malaysia, with love.

I bought a phone off someone and now i cannot access the phone because it is linked to there account and they are no where to be found. Is there any way i or apple can somehow wipe out the phone?

I just bought a phone off an individual however they did not remove the device from their icloud, find my iphone etc. so i cannot access the phone since i do not have the password and the person is no where to be found. Is there anything I or apple can do to remove it for me and erase and wipe out the phone so i can activate it?

Sorry no, more than likely you bought a stolen phone, especially if you can't contact the seller.
Apple can't do anything to help you wipe or remove.

Is there a way to make it automatically set the ouputs of new tracks to Bus 5? (or something other than Stereo Out?)

When I add a new track, it is automatically set to Stereo Out, is there a way to make it automatically set to Bus 5? I use a mix that sends everything through busses and every time I add a track it seems I have to adjust this.
Thanks

...and/or setup one or more tracks the way you want.. and then create/save a template and load that when you want to start a new project...
You can even have Logic (via it's Startup preferences) autoload that template every time you start a new project... by choosing your template as the default one.

Of course not. Migration Assistant will create a new user with the transferred files and settings, so your MacBook Pro won't get messed > http://pondini.org/OSX/MigrateLion.html

YOu can only do that if you had find my iphone setup and activated prior to having your phone stolen.
Then you log into icloud.com to remote wipe, but your phone has to be connect to wifi or cellular data to do that.

Hi Karley27,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
The article below may be able to help you with this. Click on the link to see more information:
What to do before selling or giving away your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5661
If you still have your iOS device
Before you sell or give away your iOS device, make sure that you've removed all of your personal information. Follow these steps to protect your data and get your device to its factory default state for the new owner:
Back up your device.
Go to Settings > General > Reset, then tap Erase All Content and Settings.
This will completely erase your device and turn off iCloud, iMessage, FaceTime, Game Center, and other services.
If you're using iOS 7 and have Find My iPhone turned on, your Apple ID and password will be required. After you provide your password, the device will be erased and removed from your account so that the next owner can activate it.
Contact your carrier for guidance on transferring service to the new owner.
When the device is turned on for the first time by the new owner, Setup Assistant will guide them through the setup process.
Important: Do not manually delete contacts, calendars, reminders, documents, photo streams, or any other iCloud data while signed in to your iCloud account, or the content will also be deleted from the iCloud servers and all of your iCloud devices.
Cheers,

USA Today reported that Firefox had a built in feature to opt out of web tracking. How do I access this feature or setting?

The article was regarding a potential new law which would require web hosters to honor the wishes of a visitor with a "do not track" clause. It mentioned that Firefox made this option available to its users through its software. Please provide any details so I can access this feature or setting.
Thanks

Will updating to iCloud 3.1 wipe out my *group* email contacts as happened before? Using Outlook on Windows 7, 64 bit.

I have iCloud installed but when I first synced with it, some years ago, iCloud completely wiped out all my email groups that had been so carefully set up in Outlook. (Windows 7, 64 bit) It was devastating because some of those contacts were entered only there and could not be recovered.
I am getting notices to update to iCloud 3.1 and it seems to have some connection of signing in automatically to Outlook. I am worried this will happen all over again, so I have avoided that particular part of the update.
(not to mention updating iTunes has become a holy nightmare)
What have been others' experiences with this? How to avoid the wipe-out?

Hello Mizoo,
Thank you for explaining your concern. I definitely understand the importance of keeping your Contacts organized and the work that goes into it.
If you are hesitant to do the update, I recommend making an archive of your iCloud Contacts before running the update. The following resource has steps to do this:

If anyone is reading this still looking for what caused the issue and how to fix it here is what I discovered.
The antivirus program our company uses, Bitdefender Antivirus Plus, was causing some of the PDF files not to open. After troubleshooting the different modules and settings the culprit was..
Scan SSL in Privacy Control Settings. Turning it OFF solved the problem and all the PDF files that previously would not open now open just fine. This issue has been sent to Bitdefender for them to review. If you use a different antivirus program and are having this issue try locating the Scan SSL setting and see if turning it off solves the problem.
