Security of my iPhone after being lost/stolen

Hi all

I got my phone stolen when I was on holiday in Morocco 4 months ago. I activated the lost on iCloud mode and was able to send a message with a phone number to reach me where it was found. I lost all hope of ever finding and I forgot about it. Last month, my phone was located 400 km from where I had initially lost, and I was contacted by the guy who did. His English was not good and he never explained how he got the phone in the first place. I didn't ask too many questions and make him flee, all I wanted was to recover my phone. In any case, I was able to get a friend to pick it up for me, but now I'm a bit wary of the safety of my phone... At the risk of sounding totally and completely paranoid, how can I be sure that no summary has been added to my phone as a spyware, or monitoring etc?

Thanks for your advice! I'm sure the guy was just incredibly sincere and incredibly lucky, but I can't that be a bit scared of what happened to my phone during these 4 months!

Hard reset of your phone, it can disable all spy thing if there is no

    Hi rog247,

    Thanks for posting here in Support of Apple communities! After reading your post, I see that your iPhone 4S shows 'No Service'. It is certainly important to have access to mobile data; I would like to help get this sorted out.

    Please follow the instructions here:

    If you see no Service or research

    If you see no Service or search on your device, or cannot connect to a cellular network or cellular data, follow these steps:

    1. Check your coverage area to ensure that you are in an area with a cellular network coverage.
      • If you cannot connect to a cellular network on your iPhone, make sure that the cell data is on in settings > cellular*. On your iPad, go to settings > cellular data.
      • If you travel internationally, make sure that your device is set up for data roaming. Go to settings > cellular > data roaming.
    2. Restart your iPhone or iPad.
    3. Looking for a carrier settings update.
    4. Update your iPhone or iPad to the latest version of iOS.
    5. Remove the SIM card and put it again. If the SIM card is damaged, or does not fit in the drawer of the SIM card, contact your carrier.
    6. Reset your network settings. Tap Settings > general > reset > reset network settings. This also resets the Wi - Fi networks and passwords, cell parameters and VPN and APN settings you used before.
    7. If you have another device, see if you can connect your business with her network to this place.
    8. Contact your operator for:
      • Make sure your account is active and in good and due form.
      • Make sure that there are no failures in your area.
      • Verify that your device is not blocked to receive cellular services and is set up with the right data plan.

    If you still cannot connect to a cellular network and have confirmed with your carrier is not a problem with your account, or your network, try to restore your device.

  • After the upgrade from Office 2007 to Ofice 2010 on my Vista, then my computer turns off after being idle for a while.

    After upgrade Office 2007 to Office 2010 on my Vista, then my computer turns off after being idle for a while. When I turn on my computer, I get the splash screen indicating that Windows has finished unexpectedly and I would like to start in safe mode or normally (pluss a couple more choice...).

    Appears not to occur if there is activity going on--as if do me some work or have itunes playing music or I'm just surfing the internet. Curiously, it seems not to happen if I close Internet Explorer and Outlook.

    I shot all automatic updates for Windows Vista (32 bit) and Microsoft Office.

    Concerning

    B Odd Andersen

    Hi B Odd Andersen,

    I want to clarify if your computer seems to be sleeping or it completely closed after being idle for a while.

    Method 1: If the computer is in power saving mode, check if you can wake the computer from this State by moving the mouse or pressing any key on the keyboard.

    Method 2: Change the power to another and check to see if the problem persists
    Change, create, or delete a power plan (scheme)

    Method 3: check the logs in event viewer for more information on auto-off down

    Open event viewer

    What are the information in event logs? (Event Viewer)

    Note: For your safety and security, it is not recommended to disable Windows Update.
    Activate the update or disable automatic

    Once upon a time, after syncing my iPhone with my computer (via iTunes), I would get the option ' remove the originals of the phone? These days I can't find any setting that allows me to do. Is this now sort to automatically delete the originals of the iPhone after a synchronization?

    If not, is it possible to remove photos in bulk to the iPhone, apart from the use of select check each photo I want remove? So painful. Even a "Select all" option would be useful.

    Do you use the library to iCloud?
