Say, I purchased an iPhone (not from Apple or any official reseller.)  How do I know that it's not Jailbroken?  PS. My concern is the presence of key loggers or other tracking software.

How can I find out if my iOS device has been jailbroken (with a drive-by exploit for example)?  Is there an app for that?

Ok, I just bought a brand new original iPad. Sounds impossible, right? Well, we just opened the box, and it is not even charging. There is no indication that this iPad even works even though it is technically "new." Is this something that Apple will need to fix or do I just need to let it sit on the charger overnight and hope it wakes up from a 2 year sleep in its box?

I discovered today that there are a lot of non-Apple low-cost iPhone (and iPad) chargers. The cost is very low, so I am concerned about the quality of such chargers.   Are these alternative chargers safe or can they damage the iPhone (or its battery)? It is better to buy Apple components or can we safely buy third-party components?

I have bought a new phone which seems to be used. The manufacturer checked my IMEI and confirmed that the phone has been purchased/activated before.   The body looks new so I don't mind keeping it but I am worry about malicious software/apps. I know I can factory reset the phone, but is there any way to tell if the ROM is original?  FYI, the phone is a Moto G 2nd gen w/ 5.0.1 lollipop.

I recently attempted to follow  to upgrade my device (iPhone 4) to iOS 7 without being a developer or registering a UDID.   I loaded and installed iOS 7 and got to the configuration screen. However efter attempting to go through the configuration process it says:     We’re unable to complete your activation. This device is not   registered as part of the iPhone Developer Program. If you are a   member of the Program, please register your device in the iPhone   Developer Program Portal.   The problem is this is also what it says on iTunes so there is no way to access it from the computer.   How can I downgrade back to 6.1.3? I suppose I could register as a paid developer for iOS 7, but that involves forking over $99 and I'm not even sure I could revert to iOS 6 even then.  Additional Information:   I started with an unjailbroken iOS 6.1.3. I downloaded iOS 7.0 CDMA for iPhone 4 from  I have Verizon I Have the iOS 6.1.3 version for my iPhone downloaded from , but I am unsure how I can restore from it because iTunes will not let me do anything because of the above mentioned message.    Update: I managed to entere recovery mode by pressing "power" for 3 seconds, "home" and power for 10 seconds, and just "home" until it had entered recovery mode. I have then begun to restore the phone which requires iOS 6.1.3 to download again through iTunes. Note that the first time you restore it may not work. Mine still booted to iOS 7 until I tried again.

I received 3 emails from Apple that my phone was tracked using Find My iPhone. It gave the dates and times.  Can I find out who is tracking me using Find My iPhone ?

Good day everyone. For only 1 hour (!) I used my relatives iPhone with my sim card and that's it, he keeps receiving all of my iMessages. I tried checking in iTunes all devices associated with my account and his device is not listed. I tried to log in and log out to/from iMessage on his phone with his apple ID, still won't help. How can I stop this nightmare!? When I go to iMessage settings>Send &amp; Receive on his device, there is only my phone number listed, how do I remove it without smashing phone to the wall?! Thanks and have a great day  EDIT. After talking to apple support for some time, they removed my phone number from my friend's iMessage. So I guess if you are facing same problem you have to contact support.

I dropped my iPhone 6 today; even though there is no noticeable harm on the outside, my phone screen is completely broken. Actually, the phone does not even vibrate when I turn it on. The only reason why I know that it turns on (I think), is that my iTunes say "iTunes could not connect to the iPhone 'my iPhone' ... because the passcode is not entered." I have tried holding home + power button for zillion seconds, and it does not do anything for me. I think the display is really gone.  Although it stinks to have my phone broken, I am more concerned about the data I have inside. I have many text messages with my girl-friend and voice memos that I do not want to lose. I have a program that can obtain these data, but because I cannot unlock the phone with my screen completely gone (I think touch is not working either), I do not know what to do.  Could you please help me?

My MacBook Pro was stolen. Is it possible to figure out what Apple ID is now associated with my MacBook Pro using its serial number? Is there a way I can still track down my macbook pro in the event that the one who took or "borrowed" my MBP... 1) Did not connect to the internet 2) Clean installed the OS (boot from USB, then reformatted the Hard Drive/Macintosh HD) 3) Reset the PRAM and NVRAM 4) Installed his own or new Apple ID credentials to iCloud I really just need to know realistically, if whoever took it did this. Is there still a chance I can get it back or at least track its location or who has it.

I did sign up for Apple's Public Beta program but was too late and missed out on the Developer Preview as they were offered to only the first one million sign-ups. Anyway, today I just managed to grab a copy off a torrent site and it's now lying on my computer.  Now before I proceed to install it, I would like to know what happens to me when Apple releases future beta updates. Will I be able to just update my OS as a regular copy or will I again need to search for and download an updated copy off the torrent? What happens when Apple finally releases the official copy come fall? Will I be able to just hit the Software Update option in the Apple menu and get it done or will I have to download the whole shebang all over again?  P.S. I understand there are risks involved with installing Dev Previews and am not worried about them. Thanks.

Recently, my iPhone 5 was stolen, and while I have a new iPhone 6, I received a message from a number of someone claiming to be in possession of the device, with a new number.   All images, contacts, Outlook mail, you name it, are still on the device.  While I realize it's my fault for not having it connected to iCloud to wipe manually, is there anything I can do to have this sensitive information wiped from the device?

On my iPhone (iOS 8.2), I installed an app that wasn't coming from the App Store. I chose to trust it because a serious news website had spoke about it, but now I'm a little bit worried of what this app might have done.  Are the apps like this one still prevented from accessing my personal content? Could they install anything without my authorization? Now that I've deleted it, is it okay or is there still a risk anyway?

I have an iPhone I'm trying to restore and the restore keeps failing. Specifically, I'm asked to enter the password for family members. . Also, family sharing doesn't make me enter my family member's password, so why does that happen when restoring a backup?  In order to pick this apart, I'd like to inspect the apps on my iPhone 6 with iOS 9.1 so I can determine which ones are not purchased from my Apple ID.   I have Xcode,  from homebrew on OS X 10.11, iTunes can back up the phone and I can inspect the files on the Mac if there's no way to access this data from iOS - which I'd prefer. Basically, how can I enumerate all apps and determine which ones will prevent me from using an iCloud backup to restore that app using solely my Apple ID and not need the password of a family member.  How can I identify the signing identity used for each app on the iPhone by hook or by crook?

I have a 2015 MBP for work, which I connect my iPhone (6 plus, iOS 10) to charge, and I don't want to trust the computer, ever. However, I must click "Don't Trust" every single time I connect for charging. This is asymmetric to the "Trust" selection, which remembers my decision.  Does anyone know if it's possible to stop the 'Trust/Don't Trust' modal from appearing every time, and have the machine not be trusted?  If possible, can you please tell me how? If not possible, can you please provide proof or evidence that lead you to this conclusion?  Finally, I am not concerned with arguments or opinions about this feature. Only what is outline above.

I want to install the  on my iPhone. On the phone I have iOS 7. When I try to install the App, it tells me it needs at least version 8 of iOS.  I do not want to upgrade my iOS version, especially for the sole purpose of installing an App. However, I do want to use it, it's kind of important.  I searched for a while about how to do this, but I could only find solutions that would work if you installed the App before and it shows up on the "Purchases" page in iTunes or something like that. And this doesn't apply to this case.    How can I install an older version of the App (one that requires "only" iOS 7) without having to upgrade the operating system on my iPhone ?

I bought many iOS Apps on various iPads and iPod touchs. This Wednesday I will have my first Mac, a Mac Mini, so my question is: Will I be able to download these Apps without any charge, if they are available on Mac Store?  I ask this because I have been watching some videos and have seen GarageBand on the Mac but I don't know if it's the same App. I know that the App Store and Mac Store are different, but, like some Apps on AppStore have a plus symbol on their icons corners saying these Apps can be run on iPad, iPod touch and iPhone I wonder whether there will be some Apps for both iOS and the Mac.  Also, I don't know if GarageBand was released on Mac before iOS devices.
