My mini ipad was stolen, and I was wondering if they guessed my password and then reset my iPad would I still be able to get it back?  Cause I know you can track it, lock it, erase iT, etc. But if they reset it, will it still work? How do I get it back then?

If I lose my iPhone, and I use remote wipe to prevent my confidential data from being stolen, then can I still use Find My iPhone to locate it on a map?  I'm assuming not (since it resets to factory settings), but I wanted to double-check.

So, I have this iphone that my parents found. I need some advice on how to find the owner. It's a puzzler though.  It was dead and I'm an android user so I couldn't power it up to find the owners info. So, I took it to the Apple store assuming that since I thought Apple was all about service, they would just take care of it.  No such luck. They said they couldn't help me. They did let me charge it up though. Might I point out that it's really stupid how long you have to wait for usability when plugging in a dead iPhone.  Anyway, when it finally became usable (20 minutes of standing foolishly in the Apple store later), it immediately popped up a little message saying it had no sim installed and when touched it just displayed a lock screen. The store employee told me there was nothing that could be done with that except a wipe.  I doubt a carrier would be helpful since there is no sim. I was under the impression that the sim couldn't be removed from an iphone though. Is that inaccurate?  Anyway, it also said the date was December 31st and my parents just found it a little over a week ago so I'm assuming it was sitting in that location for quite some time, which isn't all that surprising considering where it was. I guess maybe the clock isn't updating due to the lack of a sim... Just a guess though.  So now the only thing I really have to link it to it's original owner is the background pic on the phone which isn't much to go on at all. ;) Especially since it's half covered by the missing sim message.  Any ideas? You would think in this connected world that this wouldn't be that hard. Unfortunately I think it might be.

Is there a way to change the restrictions passcode on an iPhone without restoring the phone? I haven't forgotten the passocde; I just want to change it.

This might be a bizarre but crucial question, can I fully trust leaving my laptop in repairs (Genius Bar) while they have full access to it ?  I recently went to the genius bar to get my display fixed, and apparently they asked for my laptop's password just in case they need some "testing" after they're done. Can't they do that as a guest account ?  I got sensitive information on my laptop such as passport copies etc, as well as passwords saved in Safari's keychains for my bank account, paypal, amazon etc ..  The service is due later on today, shall I change my password and ask them to contact me directly if they need something specific ?? They're going to fix in 3 hours so I'll be in the mall whilst they finish.

This morning I experienced the weirdest thing by my iPhone 6S requiring me to enter my passcode rather than allowing me to use my finger as Touch ID.  My phone was locked probably for like 4 hours while charging overnight and as far as my knowledge my phone did not restart during this time since my Stack Exchange app was left open and upon opening it the same content were still there.  I didn't attempt even once to use my Touch ID; if I would've had a faulty Touch ID sensor then I should've seen such similar behavior either prior to this morning or at least afterwards (I'm already on my phone for the past 3 hours plus).  I didn't register or delete any fingerprints for months.  And finally, I don't have any restrictions setup to require the input of my passcode under Settings > General > Restrictions.  I'm running on iOS Version 10.0 beta 3 (14A5309d)  Anyone out there that has also experienced such similar behavior or with any suggestion on what might've caused it?

How do I correct the "screen lock" on my iPad?  I used to be able to turn the unit a quarter turn and the screen would adjust to my movement. Now it is somehow "Locked".  How can this be fixed?

I would like to find out if I can set a new firmware password via Find My Mac? I already have my MacBook added but the firmware lock is active and I have no idea what it is, I've tried all combinations but they haven't worked.  If I choose to lock it using Find My Mac, will I be asked to create a new key or does that activate and expect me to enter the one it believes is already there?

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?

Apple showed this new feature in iOS 7 called Activation Lock, that if you enable "Find My iPhone" on a device that is lost or stolen, a person that finds/gets the iPhone will not be able to wipe it or reset it. I'm curious whether the lock is designed to prevent these avenues to defeat the lock:   Can they completely drain the battery and leave the phone in that state for a couple of months and then try it? Or, can they use any third-party software that can access iPhone from outside the iTunes and wipe it that way? Or, can they simply "jailbreak" it and forget about this Activation Lock?   By what methods can this lock be defeated or bypassed?

My daughter was using my Apple ID with her Ipad mini. I want her to use her own Apple ID now that she is old enough. How can we transfer the content of her ipad mini, ( music, photos, apps) particularly game apps WITH THEIR DATA onto her new account? She doesn't want to start from scratch with all her games.

I had to make a new email address for my new Apple ID since I forgot my previous Apple ID password and couldn't receive a verification email.  Now that I have my new Apple ID and password, my iPhone 4s still shows my old Apple ID. How can I change it so that my new Apple ID shows when I wish to download anything?  My iCloud account still has my old Apple ID and is in grey; so I can't change it! I don't want to delete my old iCloud account.

(I am on macOS 10.14.6 and iOS 12.4)   I am certain that I have trusted my Mac before. Without the latter trust, I can also access the phone in iTunes.   I have tried reset "Location and Privacy" on my phone. Then   When connecting the iPhone with iTunes running, it asks for the trust and I trust it.  Reboot my Mac and the phone asks for another trust.   Is there some known malware mimics system behavior and steal data from an iPhone?  (I do have installed some pir*ted software recently. That's my fault.)

My phone has been stolen. I do not want the thief to have access to any of my personal information such as calls, texts, and information saved in the phones contents. Is there any possible way I can get this information erased from my phone?

Possible Duplicate:          I lost my Macbook Pro recently. I had activated iCloud on the computer, so Find My Mac is operable.   If the thief wipes the hard drive, and installs a fresh operating system, OSX Lion or Leopard, for example, then will I still be able to locate my device? In particular if the thief installs Leopard (which obviously doesn't support Find my Mac) will Find My Mac still work?

I just bought a used macbook air 2015 I made a system restore... and was confident the mac is not stolen because of these checks  1- there were no icloud on the computer, and I was able to add my own iCloud normally.  2- the mac firmware had no password  but now, I see something that I have never seen before  I keep seeing this message, always skipping it    1- what are the consequences of allowing DEP, and is it reversible?   2- how to contact the person who has DEP and ask them to remove it from the program?  3- when buying a new mac, how to know if it's on DEP? (the most important question)  4- someone on IRC said that if i was unable to authorize my machine from itunes then the machine is on DEP.. is this correct?  5- the same person on IRC says that there could be a previous owner, and this owner can format my computer and see all of my files even if i have my own icloud on it, is this correct?  the person who sold it to me imported 60 macs from a closed startup in sweden, I can return it to the seller and get my money back, but I really need an answer for these questions...
