Prevent theft of iPhone

Hello

My wife and I have been iPhone the patrons for the past four years. I love the iPhone and thanks to apple for its good products. That said, it is very painful when you lose your iPhone. My wife and I had our iPhones stolen at some point and despite find it your iPhone application, we couldn't get back them because the thief turned off the phone. However this could have been avoided if off the phone required a password or something to prevent that abroad is to turn off the phone. This way find my iPhone app would be more useful in case of theft. Nobody really turned off their phone regularly so I don't know that this will not affect at all the iphone owners. Is it possible to have an update that requires a password to activate the iPhone?

This topic has already been beaten to death. A password to turn off the phone would not solve the problem. It would probably also illegal them to sell that it would potentially fail regulatory testing because it can not be disabled if it was I damaged somehow physically prevent the entry of access code.

Location is easily defeated by set mode airplane, phone packaging in paper or all simply remove the SIM card.

  • How to remove an application (and prevent a redownload) iPhone of the child

    An application was accidentally approved (youtube) on my son's iPhone.

    I am wanting to delete it (I know how todo) and prevent him re - download it again.

    How can I do this?

    All applications and the purchases must be approved by me but my understanding...

    Has been approved once, then it can be downloaded again without approval.

    Is that correct.

  • Backup iphone to mac, but am trying to get you want to synchronize.

    I have backup my iphone to icloud, but I want to be very sure and also create a backup itunes periodically.  So I read about it and it seems pretty easy.  But I have a question:

    When I connect my iphone 6 to my iMac, iTunes open, because it asks me to authorize the computer, I see up on step 3 (I think it's #3) «Sync iPhone...» "and underneath it says"determine what applications to synchronize. "BUT, I don't want to 'sync', I want only to save.  I unplugged the power cord and it stopped in its tracks.

    My question, why is it automatically attempt to synchronize before I have a chance to start the backup?  IS this a normal behavior?

    And I don't want anything from my Mac on my iphone.

    Thank you!

    Probably because you have iTunes automatically sync value. I think that's the default behavior. I do not use Mac, but in Windows, you're going in Edition > Preferences > devices and you put a check mark prevent auto-sync iPhones. There must be a similar setting for Mac. Which should help you to find a way to find out.

    Once you do this, you can connect the device and not to worry about synchronization and then simply click on the Save button after selecting the phone.

    Thanks for the info. Unfortunately I can't back up the HARD drive to fix. The old tower is more regognizes the HARD drive either. What I read this other safety device to prevent theft. I have to chalk this up to my lack of knowledge on the MPT and BitEncrypt software. I'll just have to buy another copy of Windows, and to reformat my HARD drive or buy a new HARD drive so I can't reformat. I wish I had found this forum until I "shot myself in the foot' on this one. Thank you for trying to help.

  • 30-day wait to change the Windows Live ID on Xbox Live Gamertags?

    I've been through all the hoops with Microsoft customer service. He began by calling me and asking if it was possible for them to change my windows live id that was linked to my gamertag because the account e-mail was more active for me. They told me that they couldn't do it for me but I could. However, the problem is, I have an email account active and a long time ago, I have enclosed a gamertag that I no longer use this email.

    Gamertag active - Inactive e-mail
    Gamertag inactive - Active email

    For those that told me by phone to make a new email, bind it to windows live and then go on my xbox and edit them there. All right, how long that would take? After all the new accounts and download my xbox profile for my xbox, I finally got all the information typed with my controller when I learned that I have to wait 30 days...

    I have to wait 30 days because the windows live ID is new, even if the xbox account, I try to send to it is of silver and apparently cancelled. So I went online to discuss support. Here, I have been informed that the expectation of 30 days is to prevent theft... 30 days to prevent theft of my own account. I can see the logic, but 30 days for a perfectly legitimate action is unacceptable. I informed the support agent cat that I had all the necessary information for them to watch and to see clearly that the two accounts are legally mine. Again, I was told that they couldn't do anything. They were kind enough to give me a free month of service and told me to come here.

    You can do here? I look at all the questions that are asked here and none of them are part of a related issue xbox at all. I'm hoping to get this resolved as soon as 30 days. I had my xbox account spent 8 years...

    To sum it all, but here's what I have:

    Account Xbox 1 - account Email 1
    Account Xbox 2 - 2 email account
    Email account of three.

    I want it to be like this:

    Account Xbox 1 - 2 email account
    Account Xbox 2 - 3 e-mail account
    1 email account

    And I have to wait 30 days long. Thanks for reading all this, I know it was a wall of text.

    (PS. I do not know what forums would be best for this... Xbox is not in the list... I tried to tell the agent of live chat, but they told me again and again it's a question of Live ID only...)

  • Media Player 12 will not remain full screen for more than 5 min.

    Upgrade Vista Ultimate to 7 Ultimate. Media Player now will not stay full screen for more than 5 minutes during movie playback. How can I fix this please?

    When presentation settings are turned on, your mobile PC stays awake and system notifications are turned off. I would not advice you constantly running in presentation mode because it does not allow your computer becomes idle (and display the screen saver) even when you do not do anything. He probably solved your problem because one of your application does not perform certain actions as before, because it's always 'think' that your computer is not idle.

    You should do something like this: check the settings for these two applications: Vaio update and Trend Micro (probably you can get there after right-clicking on the icon in the notification area and choose the appropriate context menu position). There should be some options when these applications are performing the update process. No doubt, one of them made when the computer becomes inactive if it may affect the mode full-screen. I guess that might be Vaio update, because I read that since version 2010, Trend Micro has been improved and should not cause this problem, but you should check the two of them. You should change the appropriate settings, so it will play the update process in another moment.

    There is also something else you can try. You can read this article: How to prevent the flight home in Windows programs . You can find how to prevent theft of focus programs, then perhaps it can also solve your problem. Maybe after the upgrade to Vista, specific registry key does not contain the appropriate value, and you must follow these steps to fix that:

    1. Click Start and then click run (or you can press Windows key + R )

    2. In the text box on the run window, type regedit and click OK. This will open the registry editor program.

    3. Find the folder HKEY_CURRENT_USER under my computer and click the plus sign (+) after the folder name to expand the folder.

    4. Continue to expand the folders until you reach the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel registry key.

    5. Select the key of Office under Control Panel .

    6. On the right side of the screen, locate and double-click ForegroundLockTimeout DWORD.

    7. In the Edit DWORD value window that appears, set them value data: field to 30 d 40 .

      Note: Make sure that the Basic option has the hexadecimal value, when you enter the DWORD value.

    8. Click OK , and then close the registry editor .

    9. Restart your PC for the changes to take effect.

    10. From this moment on, programs should no longer steal focus from the window you are currently working.

  • BDP S1200 read the BDMV folder structure

    Hi all

    just two quick questions

    First question:

    I recently bought a Blu - Ray BDP S1200 player.

    I have a Bluray (my marriage) disc recorded on a disc external HARD (BDMV folder).

    I would like to ask you if it should be possible to read the full Bluray folder of the HARD disk structure.

    I can look at the unique .ts2 files (present in the stream folder), but... you know... This is not the same.

    Second question:

    Is it possible to play multimedia files from a NAS device that is connected to the same network?

    Thanks in advance for the answer

    Best regards

    Hello

    It is not possible to watch BD or DVD of movies recorded on a HARD drive.  Undoubtedly, it was an attempt by Sony to prevent theft of copyright. Ideally you need to burn it to a disk for this purpose.

    By default you can use a program like Handbrake to convert the movie to a different format. MP4 game very well on your BD player.

    The second question,

    Yes, but it must have a built-in DLNA media server.

  • How to prevent my Mac of disconnection after that I connected remotely from iPhone and then left the iPhone app?

    I use RemoterVNC on my iPhone to log remotely on my Mac at home so the children can use the computer without my go physically to the computer. (I admit, I am a bit lazy like that). However, lately when I launch RemoterVNC (on my iPhone), do the business of the connection, and then exit the application, the remote Mac began a disconnection. He also started doing this when I connect from my first Mac via screen sharing. It is a relatively recent behavior. Someone has an idea what setting I have (inadvertently) enabled to prevent the computer from automatically disconnect when the 'access app' is no longer active on the remote device?

    Go to System Preferences > energy saving > computer sleep > drag it FOREVER to prevent disconnection of your mac.

  • Prevent the video full screen of the iPhone

    Hi, I'm unable to prevent iPhone video to view full screen. I use the following code:

    var vid = sym.$("Rectangle");

    VID.html ("< the video id ="videoPlayer"width ="400"height ="225 "src =" test.mp4 "type =" video/mp4 "controls =" orders" webkit-playsinline> < / video > ');

    The webkit-playsinline is ignored. Is there a solution using java script?

    Unfortunately he mixed rules when playing video online on iOS. You can play a video online within a web application or a web page is saved in the home screen using webkit-playsinline, but this does not work when you use Safari. If the intention is to have a Web site with the video you are out of luck, but if you create a web application you have the ability to add webkit-playsinline as an attribute of video online.

  • How we prevent 90 GB of photos for iphone sync

    Hello

    I don't know that I'm not the only person having this problem.

    Seen taking pictures of the last 10 years, I decided to migrate to iCloud, keeping my photos in the cloud and their management through the Photos on my Mac. So far so good. Everything works as expected.

    So, I have 90 GB of photos. Not much for the mac. But if I turn on iCloud Photolibrary on my iphone, it will fill up with the photos that I rarely use. Also, I can't afford a 128 GB iPhone just to travel through the photos that I rarely use.

    If I DON'T turn on iCloud PhotoLibrary, I have no access to my photo library (it's kind of obvious of course), but every picture I take live and die on the iPhone (and in the Gallery of photos for 30 days) and the only way to synchronize them with the mac is to attach a cable to the phone. Really? During 2016? Where everything is cloud?

    Is there a better solution than this all or nothing? For example, store only a thumbnail of each photo on the phone, then the phone will automatically download them on a per-photo basis when you access?

    I mean, imagine that you have a 16Gb iPhone. You won't be able to use it with the iCloud except if you only take af a few photos and almost no videos.

    Thanks for any idea about that

    Best

    Björn

    With iCloud library enabled, you cannot delete a photo on a device (or iCloud.com) without deleting each device which uses iCloud photo library (iCloud.com). In order to save space on your mobile devices (and indeed your Mac if you want to) turn on the optimization of the pictures on these devices (settings > photos & camera > optimize storage on your mobile device and Photo preferences > optimize storage on your Mac)

    Dynamic optimization, it reduces the resolution of your photos, if necessary, so that you don't notice it occurring initially. However, when necessary, it is very effective, and users have reported libraries being optimized for much less than 10% of their original size in some cases. My own library is about 9% of its original on my phone size.

    In most cases, optimize your photos should be enough to raise the space related issues on your device. However, if you have an exceptionally large library you may need to disable iCloud photo library on your mobile device and use instead the photo stream. You can then use a computer to manage the photo stream photos and have them automatically imported into you iCloud photo library.
