My iPhone 4 was stolen last night at the bar. When I got home I remotely locked it and sent the phone a message telling the person to return my phone because I could trace them.
I got an e-mail saying that the message was sent, but I was all freaked out and for some reason thought that it said the message had been received. I then decided I wanted to wipe my phone because I had tons of private information on there. The status was 'pending remote wipe' (The phone was turned off and I assume never turned back on), and I was reading about the remote wipe (obviously I should have done this first), and I found out that if I did it, I wouldn't be able to trace my phone anymore.
I clicked "remove" next to the 'Pending Remote Wipe' thinking that it meant CANCEL the remote wipe and not remove the device from my MobileMe. So now I have no devices listed on my MobileMe account.
I'm wondering:
Did the wipe happen? I'm assuming no, but I'd like clarification..
If the wipe didn't happen, is the lock still on my phone? And will the message still pop up to whomever has my phone (if & when they turn it on)?
I read somewhere that the device will automatically be added to my MobileMe account the next time the device goes online as long as my mobile.me account is still configured in the device. Will that really be automatic?
^ If that is true, will the fact that I changed my iTunes/MobileMe password interfere with that process?
Thanks a lot...
