Meh. Not my best work because its not really a question I care about. Wish I had access to a screenshot of my Mac on the network at MIT—talk about sharing.
Not sure about Tracfone. I know that H2O works on AT&T phones, even locked, because H2O purchases their bandwidth from ATT. Do you know who TracFone's "provider" is?
There you go. Though eHow isn't exactly unimpeachable. If I had a 3G kicking about, I'd probably risk a $20 prepaid card to test it. (Need to find out if I can unlock my 1G)
@jaberg your answer is good for the "How to block their detection by OS/X?" part of the question. There are additional questions, only one of which is explicit. IMHO the answer did not deserve a down vote without comment.
@AndrewLarsson I was never a paying user of MobileMe but AFAIR before using iCloud, I did use Find My iPhone to find my Mac (not my iPhone; at the time I had no iPhone).
@GrahamPerrin I didn't have anything to say about the additional questions. As I said, I'm not complaining about a lack of up votes, I just thought the down vote was a little harsh. No worries, it won't delay my journey to 5k by that much. ;)
@AndrewLarsson ah OK — thanks. So if I get an additional, more modern iPhone running > iOS 4.2.1 I'll be able to use the older iPhone to find the newer (but not vice versa).
Find My Mac, I believe, was free at the time iPhone OS 3 was still walking.
@GrahamPerrin Yes, that is correct.
@GrahamPerrin Actually, you might not be able to download the app from the AppStore if you're on iPhone OS 3. You could, however, use the online version at iCloud.com. I haven't ever checked the OS version the app targets, so I may be wrong.
Another iOS 3.x question. I know that CardDAV support is not integral, and I find a non-Apple CardDAV app for iOS 4, but nothing third party for iOS 3. Is it worth me asking the question in the main area? Or do we reckon that developers will have zero interest in developing a CardDAV app for iOS 3?
Hmm I haven't even tried the web interface to iCloud on the iPhone yet. That might be enough. All I really want is people's numbers
@GrahamPerrin iPhone OS 3 is obsolete. Only legacy devices run it, so a developer wouldn't want to make one. They could just set iPhone OS 3 as the target version for their app, but that wouldn't guarantee it would work.
Your code blocks were not "within" your bullet points, which meant that they were treated as top-level entities, so a new numbered list started over at the beginning. By indenting the code blocks, they became "subordinate" to the entries in the numbered list, and thus didn't reset the list numbering.
@daviesgeek Yes, I can; I'm a moderator. But I know your question wasn't really "Can I delete it"; it was "delete this, please." Generally we don't delete off-topic questions instantly, so people can learn from them. If you think it needs to be deleted quickly, you have two (non-exclusive) options: vote to delete it, and/or flag it. There are several good reasons why comments in chat aren't the ideal forum to request post deletion; the official channels work well.
@daviesgeek When you flag, it creates a trail that you requested deletion and whoever deletes it is noted as responding to your flag, as opposed to randomly deleting content from the site. Not that chat isn't logged, but the official channels work reasonably well, at least in this case.
@Mahnax You put the dieresis on the wrong letter! it's "noöne" or "no one". Technically the latter is more correct, but if you're gonna use a dieresis, put it on the second letter. Like "Zoë", for instance.
