If your device goes missing, put it in Lost Mode to lock it immediately and 
start tracking its location. Find My iPhone will show you where it’s been over 
the last 24 hours.

Sounds like the iPhone has ‘silent’ mode turned on, if no sound is heard.

Use the Find My iPhone app or sign in to iCloud.com to view your device’s 
location on a map. Your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch will also mark its location 
when its battery is critically low, to help you find it even if it runs out of 
power.

Activation Lock is designed to prevent anyone from using or selling your 
device. The moment you turn on Find My iPhone, your Apple ID and password will 
be required before anyone can turn off Find My iPhone, erase your device, or 
reactivate it.

I have never owned a smart phone; in fact I have only had any sort of mobile 
phone about 20 years ago, and then I kept it for just a few weeks. So I am well 
qualified to make a suggestion.

Get your replacement phone (or borrow one if you have not replaced it yet) and 
put it on the lawn as close as possible to where your lost phone was reported. 
Do a "find my phone". If it reports that it is on your neighbour's lawn where 
you put it then disregard this post. I cannot help. But if it reports that it 
is, say, 100 metres due north, then go 100 metres due south and start looking.

Have a happy New Year everyone - we are going to see the fireworks (in Albany).

Regards

Geoff

Find iPhone

[Michael Hawkins]

I recently lost an iPhone, and used Find my iPhone to try and find it.

According to the spot on the map, the iPhone was in the middle of the closely 
mown lawn in the neighbour’s front yard across the street. We couldn’t find the 
iPhone nor could we hear any sound from it, nor could we hear it ring when we 
rang it.

I used f”ind my iPhone” on three different devices over the next three days, 
from a variety of locations up to 20 km away from the neighbour’s place. The 
result was identical on each of them, the location my missing phone less than 
“1 minute ago” as being in the middle of the front lawn.

The battery has now gone flat, but just in case someone recharges the battery 
and turns the phone on, I’d like to know what to do if, yet again, the iPhone 
is reported as being in the middle of the yard. Or what I could have done.

Each device I used was using the latest iOS.

Happy New Year

Michael

Re: .dmg in Finder Sidebar

[Ronda Brown]

Hi Severin,

Have you tried ‘Press and hold the Command key’, then drag the .dmg to the 
favorites section?

My Best Wishes to All WAMUG Members for ‘A Safe and Happy New Year!
And all the very best for 2018.

Kindest Regards,
Ronni

.dmg in Finder Sidebar

[Severin Crisp]

I have a 9GB .dmg Disk Utility created image of long standing.   It lives in a 
folder in my Documents and has been dragged to display in the Favourites in the 
Finder sidebar - fine!  I have recently created another such .dmg image, also 
held in Documents but the Finder sidebar will not accept it for display.   The 
only difference that I can see is the size - 9GB for the older one and 1GB for 
the new one.  I can found no lead to this misbehaviour.  
Help please!   

More importantly, my warmest thanks to so many super helpful WAMUG members who 
have pointed me in the right direction SO MANY times.  Warmest New Year wishes 
to you especially, but to ALL members, this old guy sends greets to many never 
seen online WAMUG friends.
