Actually that's very, very true. The app is for finding other people's iPhones, you can use iCloud.com probably from Safari on the 3GS. LOL.


In other news I just answered a telephone call on my 6+, pretty normal eh? Until you know that my iPhone 6+ does not have a SIM card!! Nice Apple, nice.

 

Last ditch attempt prove he's straight more like

 

No, its an electronic device which is capable of receiving information in a particular form and of performing a sequence of operations in accordance with a predetermined but variable set of procedural instructions (program) to produce a result in the form of information or signals, that just happens to be able to make and receive telephone calls.

You don't just fix cars these days just with spanners. You plug them into diagniostic electronic device which is capable of receiving information in a particular form and of performing a sequence of operations in accordance with a predetermined but variable set of procedural instructions (program) to produce a result in the form of information or signals.

Dealerships need to have exactly what you describe.

The ONLY difference with your Iphone is that rather than having to go to a dealership for upgrades and fixes, Apple lets you have the software for free.

 

Ah..that explains the aspergers.

You do realise that having the app on your phone doesn't help you find that particular phone, yes?

 

Mate of mine left his ipad in a taxi one friday night after a couple of drinks too many.

Tracked it to an address a few miles away the next day, went round, knocked on door and recoved his ipad.

Seems like a pretty usefull tool to me

 

So you've had a two page rant about not being able to install something on your phone that you don't actually need to install. At all. And by not being able to do something you don't actually need to do that's somehow Apple's fault?

You don't need to install the app to find out how it works

In "settings" on your phone turn on "find my iphone" and set it up as you prefer.

When you lose your phone login anywhere to www.icloud.com with your apple id and click on the "find my iphone" icon.

You'll then be shown a map with an indication of where your phone is, and have options to play a sound, lock the phone or completely erase it.

 

haha, shopped.

 

Oh please.

 

ok cropped and edited to suit then

 

I'd add you so you can see it, but don't want to be your first 'friend'.

 

What, and the guy meekly handed it over. ?

 

Don't worry the feeling is mutual

 

Yep. Taxi driver had found it in his cab and taken it home with him.

Is it so hard to believe that not everyone is a thieving *******?

 

It is fairly hard, but anyway, good outcome

 

VISA rolling out Apple Pay in Europe in 2015. Happy days.

Awesome man, just awesome.

Can't wait

 

You mean couldn't wait, couldn't wait to make another dumb comment. It's cool, you and your fellow bonfire pissers make my threads popular.

 

Correct, and maybe I'd get bored and leave.

 

8.1 installed and the phone feels like it's back to IOS 7
Camera roll is back and my phone has jumped from 200mb of free space to 4gb?????? What's all that about?

 

No update available on my phone? Currently 8.0.2

 

My Mother always said I was special

 

I bet if you had looked at the phone in iTunes before upgrading then there would have been a fair chunk of space listed under the "Other" category. There have been questions as to what is in that category, personally I'd guess it's part of an OS update sitting around and not being deleted.

This could also account for the situation many found themselves in with iOS 8, that it required a shed load of free space (5 - 6 GB) to install, and this "other" category could have gobbled up some of that space that could have prevented people from installing the OTA version of 8.x

more info in "other" here: http://fireballed.org/linked/2014/10/21/hamm-other/

I took the plunge and whacked 8.1 on my plus, and it seems ok. Had a look at Apple Pay, cannot use it properly due to my card not being recognized by the system, but the visuals of it picking up the card number and name on the card is pretty nice (If you want to even see the option to add CC's, then go into Settings -> General -> Language & Region, and change the Region to United States, then quit Settings app and launch Passbook - I think you'll also need a 6, 6 Plus or one of the new iPads too)

 

Its there now.

So, where have all Xline's posts gone

 

This is so exciting, a possible apple update with no glitches. This would be a bigger break through than when man landed on the moon.

 

Installing 8.1 on my "old" 5 now. Lets see how it fares.

Probably leave the 6 till later with a full backup and restore

 

Yeah, I did it yesterday as it showed then, came to me a day late

 

I think I did need a few GB when I upgraded!

 

Maybe he could install Find my iPosts.

 

I was a little apprehensive about reviving this thread, but I saw this:

Not sure who will win out in the long term.....

 

Still impressed with my £21 (net) Android.
Of course I have suffer inconvenience carrying a credit card.
