iPhone stolen and then off immediately

My 6 + a iPhone was stolen from my pocket, in a public place. I realized with in 1 minute. I called back on my phone using another phone but seems thief he took were immediately.

I remember much about high security features of this expensive equipment. I asked my wife to immediately follow the phone hoping that nothing can happen that I have Apple device not one another... Phone appeared offline and so far, he is off line. It is 6 days and always in offline mode.

Because it is public information that how the apple security system once an iOS device was stolen so for us it is fair to assume that thief also knew what not to do once he stole an iPhone.

I guess that those who have conceptualized and implemented the security of iOS devices were a very naïve and unrealistic assumption that thief will be finally running the unit and let the owner keep track. It will never happen?

So now that the thief will be with my camera $ 1200 if it won't have to connect the iPhone to the internet and help me in my camera using the excellent "find my phone" app for tracking?

It can easily sell it for parts and get at least a few hundred dollars out of it.

Ask yourself what best I can have other that define a difficult access code, connect in iCloud, turns on "Find my phone" and once it is stolen then place it on the lost mode, plays sound and then, assuming that only the device owner are intelligent species and the thief being the most ignorant, which would certainly result in thief connect the device to the network for my investment of $1200.

Although the mechanism of apple security everything is documented publicly, and I'm not going to ask who switched off must be protected by an access code that corresponds to the information private only in this regime as a whole thing. I was wondering what apple think about protecting its customers, if such a situation occurs.

Overall, the customer is in full loss but ironically thief has still encourage them to do something about the transaction and is not taken at all.

The phone has little value to the thief if you have enabled the find my phone feature, which puts a lock on the device activation. They will not be able to use the phone somehow. Nor will any what buyer, they can find.

It is really little or no value for parts. Only ace-in-the-hole the thief is the greed of its potential buyers. They will offer the phone upwards, no questions asked, for a pittance and work as the buyer begins to understand how little value the locked phone to her.

Small consolation, I know. The sophisticated system is no match for a determined thief. We are and always will be, responsible for the physical security of all their personal property, regardless of their purchase price.

Hope Apple can or any other manufacturer of hand held devices to ensure their safety? We flight since the beginning of time.

Apple has no magic solution for this. What they have done is to protect your data and make an attempt to reduce the value of iPhones stolen to some extent.

When and maybe if the buying public stops paying for locked phones, the system will "work".

  • How to create a Boolean value when it is activated, it is an iteration and then off the back

    Hi all

    I could not explain well in the title, but I try to order a device that only requires a single click to move. For manual operation, a switch locked like OK button would do, but I'm trying to automate it.

    For example, if we have a digital control and a ' equal to '? a Boolean that is connected to an indicator. for example (if the number is = TRUE then 10) the indicator would remain on until what this number changes.

    But when I try to get, the led lights for iteration, then off. In addition, when I change the number to something is, I want the indicator also turn on then.

    If it is resolved, it would be useful to make the device to receive a SWITCHING signal to turn on once #1 is selected, and when I change the option he will receive another SWITCH to disable the #1 option.

    Your help is very appreciated!

    Hi malmureeh,

    you want to detect the edges of a Boolean signal, like the rise of the edges.

    There is a function of ready - to-available employment: BooleanCrossing!

    Hello brucefl, you could take a look at this thread. Look at the last post in the thread. It contains information about these capacitiors.

    These capacitors can be replaced with a little effort and cost, if you're comfortable doing a little desolding and resolder.

    I signed up for the package CC Photoshop and Lightroom. Lightroom works well (Lightroom 5.2, 64-bit, Windows 7).

    However, although Photoshop seems to install OK, when I open it, it stops immediately.

    When I look into creative cloud Manager, it says that CC Photoshop is "up-to-date".

    Uninstalled Photoshop CC, disconnected from cloud creative, reconnected again and re-installed Photoshop CC.

    Installation seemed to go OK. I started PS, window opened and closed immediately. Was invited to complete the registration by logging in with my Adobe ID code I did (had done before, but went rhough once again), but PS still blocks.

    Disconnected (e) Creative cloud; signed in again; PS still crashes, but a pop up appears saying I should complete my registration by signing in with my Adobe ID did it, once again.

    Restarted. Always without success.

    I'd appreciate any help. Thank you.

    There is a fix!

  • Sound on boot to top... turn crackling, distorted and then no sound

    Hello

    I hope someone could shed some light on my sound problems. My sound started to do. I turn on the computer and the sound seems to work very well, and then after using the computer a bit, the sounds can range from the crackling or distorted and then off. Sometimes, but rarely, the sound will come back from time to time.
    I can restart and the sound is back again... or I can both lose sound, reinstall the driver and I have sound, until the same thing happens.
    I installed the most recent driver, direct x, the windows media player 10. I have a toshiba mobile phone running windows xp. I have install recently more... two ram 512 chips, different brands.

    best buy think my motherboard can go...
    any ideas?

    Hello dawn

    It's very strange question. I've never heard of this. Unfortunately, I have no explanation for it, but I can't imagine that it is caused by the wrong driver or something like that. In any case, you can try and remove the sound card in Device Manager, then restart the device. Operating system detects hardware and install the driver.

    Otherwise, maybe is it some problem with connections and the sound is just sometimes.

    As I have already said, it's very strange question. I am very interested in this topic and if you have a solution please let me know.
