I have lost my iphone can i get it and i have not installed find my iphone app

i lost my iphone can i get it back

The only way to locate/disable/erase any lost/stolen iPhone is through Find My Phone or a similar app. However, this requires that Find My Phone be setup/activated, on your phone, before it was lost/stolen. You would then login at iCloud.com & try to locate it. This requires the phone be turned on & have an Internet connection. There is no other way to locate a lost/stolen iPhone. Apple can't/won't help you, nor will your carrier. Report the loss to the Police, your carrier & Insurance company. Change all of your passwords.
If your carrier offers Blacklisting & they Blacklist the phone, it will be unusable as a phone.
If locked with a passcode, all a thief or whoever finds it has to do is force the phone into recovery mode & restore it. While this deletes all data on the phone, it also removes the passcode so the phone can then be used as a phone or touch.
There is NO WAY to report any lost/stolen product to Apple.

  • HT201365 I've forgotten my passcode and can't get into the phone to turn off "find my iphone" in order to restore it... Help Please

    I've forgotten my passcode and can't get into the phone to turn off "find my iphone" in order to restore it... Can anyone help?

    If you know the password to your apple id login - you can then do a restoration once you have put your device into recovery mode using itunes.
    read this article to give you direction how to put your device into recovery mode.
    Once you have put in your apple id login and password this then will allow you to restore the device once the device is placed in recovery mode.
    good luck!

  • I lost my ipad how to track it .have not installed find my iPhone app on my ipad .

    I lost my iPad Air .. How to trace it . Itz only a week I have got it .. Have not installed find my iPhone app in my ipad .. Itz is a wifi + 3G model .. What to do?

    You do not need to install the "Find My iPhone" App.
    If you had "Find My iPad" enabled in Settings > iCloud then you may be able to locate it. If not, you cannot locate it.
    If it was enabled then you can try locating it via http://icloud.com on a computer or the App "Find My iPhone" on another iDevice. Note: this will only work if your device is connected to a network and the device hasn't already been restored as new and/or "Find My iPad" has not been disabled on it. Note: Disabling "Find My iPad" is much more difficult in iOS 7.
    If you think that your device was stolen rather than lost then you should report it to the police. In either case you should contact your carrier, change your iTunes account password, your email account passwords, and any passwords that you'd stored on websites/emails/notes etc.

    You will need to restore it as new. unfortunately you will lose any data not saved but you can still redownload all of your apps.

    I would like to know how to find my lost iphone using icloud. I did not intall find my iphone app. It is an iphone 4 and the version was ios 5

    Can you explain what you mean by "partitioned an external drive to my mac intel"?
    If you repartition a drive, that will always erase the whole drive. Is that what you did? Did you use Disk Utility, or something else? Disk Utility does say "To erase and repartition the disk..." so it does warn you what will happen.

  • How do you find a stolen iphone if you did not install find my iphone?

    I have had my iphone stolen at the YMCA today. I am wondering if I can find my iphone without the use of the app find my iphone. I don't quite remember if I turned on the find my iphone service in the iCloud settings and i did not install the find my iphone app. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Look for it. But you cannot find it unless you activated Find My Phone.
    What To Do If Your iDevice Is Lost Or Stolen
    If you activated Find My Phone before it was lost or stolen, you can track it only if Wi-Fi is enabled on the device. What you cannot do is track your device using a serial number or other identifying number. You cannot expect Apple or anyone else to find your device for you. You cannot recover your loss unless you insure your device for such loss. It is not covered by your warranty.
    If your iPhone, iPod, iPod Touch, or iPad is lost or stolen what do you do? There are things you should have done in advance - before you lost it or it was stolen - and some things to do after the fact. Here are some suggestions:

  • Hi, my computers hard drive has gone faulty and I have lost everything, how can I get the music from my iPod touch back onto my new computer?

    Thanks to anyone that can help. Have lost everything on my computer and am having to start all over again. Windows by the way. Just want to know how I can get my music etc from my iPod back onto iTunes without losing it all. Have got rid of all the CDs as well! Many thanks, Ian M

    See this excellent user tip from another forum member turingtest2 outlining the different methods and software available to help you copy content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

    Hopefully you take the time to back up these files regularly in the future.

  • How can i get temp and such on core install

    I know this has been asked a million times but i can't find an answer (maybe i am just that noob). I am trying to get the temp and fan speeds etc from the computer running windows server 2012 r2 core. here are the specs of my computer:
    mobo - ASUS M5A99FX pro r2
    CPU - AMD 8320
    RAM - 16G
    The mobo comes with AI Suite which shows me this info but i can't install it on a core OS. It will also allow for tweaking of the settings. I would like like to be able to watch what is happening in the box as far as temps and such. I manage the server with
    either windows 8.1 or windows 10 but i see nothing on how to get this info. Any help would be great but i really need it to be a free solution. Thank you in advance for any and all replies.

    For you to be able to do that from a Microsoft-only solution, the manufacturer has to expose that information, most likely via WMI.  The fact that ASUS has a program to show the information may imply that they have not exposed it.  A quick way
    to check is to go to a PowerShell window running as administrator and issue this PowerShell cmdlet.
    gwmi MSAcpi_ThermalZoneTemperature -Namespace "root/wmi"
    If that returns an error, it could be that ASUS has not exposed it.  So, that means you need to contact ASUS to ask them to see if they have exposed it via WMI.  If so, may they expose it differently, so get the details from them as to how to access
    it via WMI.  If they have not, then you would have to rely on their program, which from your description, does not work on core installations.

  • If my iPhone 5 got stolen, and I was not on find my iPhone, how do I get it back/detect where it is?

    When we tried to log in my Apple ID, just to make sure if I wasn't on find my iPhone, I discovered that my apple ID password was re-set. I want to find out who did it or where it was done. I also want to know if I can get it back - because when using an iPhone, there's a registry in the beginning right? So my product code or serial number must pop up again in a different name. Right?

    It does make a difference, check here:

    Open a browser and go to https://icloud.com/find. Log in with your Apple ID and passcode. If your phone is enabled for Find my iPhone and it is powered on and connected to a network you will see where it is. You can play a sound on it from this screen. It will sound even it is set to silent.

  • Can no longer copy and paste filenames from the finder to other Apps?

    Did Leopard remove the ability to copy a file or folder name in the finder, and then paste that into a text editor?
    I have a need to copy file and folder names from the finder, then paste those names into BBEdit. I've been doing this for years. Now with Leopard, I can copy the file or folder names, and even see them in the clipboard of the Finder. But when I try to paste them into BBEdit, TextEdit, Word, Pages... nothing happens. And Paste is grayed out in the target application. As if I had never copied the item in the first place.
    Can anyone else copy filenames in the finder? Or do I have a system-specific problem?

    Never mind. Apparently there was something going wrong with the Finder. I ran Onyx, and things are back to normal now. I was concerned because I actually saw similar but not identical behavior on two Leopard machines. Running Onyx on the 2nd one now.

  • HT201317 i had photo stream on my 4s running 5.0 after updating to ios 6 i seem to have lost them how can i get them back if they are not in my photo appnow?

    im not even sure they are on icloud and if they are i do not know how to access them please help

    Photo stream only keeps photos for 30 days.  After that, they are removed from photo stream but will remain on your device.   However, if you update your phone then reconnect to your photo stream, you will only get the photos from the last 30 days as the others are no longer there.
    Always back up your photos to your computer while they are in the camera roll, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.
