i've lost my iphone with passcode lock and find my iphone lock on but the wifi n cellular data was turned off so no way i can trace it so the only question remains is will the person who finds it be able to unlock it and use it as his own ?
is it possible to change imei number?
i've tried for so many times n still the phone is offline so i've set it to offline mode with my message but it never shows the last location why?

If the device is found, nobody can use it without knowing your Apple ID and password.
The phone will only show it's location if it is connected to cellular network or Wi-Fi. If those options are switched off, you can't locate the phone.
With iOS 7, Find My iPhone includes a new feature called Activation Lock, which is designed to prevent anyone else from using your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch if you ever lose it. It starts working the moment you turn on Find My iPhone in iOS 7. With Activation Lock, your Apple ID and password will be required before anyone can:
Turn off Find My iPhone on your device
Erase your device
Reactivate and use your device
This can help you keep your device secure, even if it is in the wrong hands, and can improve your chances of recovering it. Even if you erase your device remotely, Activation Lock can continue to deter anyone from reactivating your device without your permission. All you need to do is keep Find My iPhone turned on, andremember your Apple ID and password.
What steps should I take if I misplace my device?
If you ever misplace your device—whether it’s just lost or you think it may have been stolen—you should put it into Lost Mode immediately using Find My iPhone.
Lost Mode locks your screen with a four-digit passcode and lets you display a custom message with your phone number to help you get it back. You can also remotely erase your device if needed, and your custom message will continue to display even after the device is erased.
While Activation Lock works in the background to make it more difficult for someone to use or sell your missing device, Lost Mode clearly indicates to anyone who finds your device that it still belongs to you and can’t be reactivated without your password.
To put a device into Lost Mode, sign in to icloud.com/find from a Mac or PC or use the Find My iPhone iOS app.
For more information, read what to do if your device is lost or stolen.

  • Is there a way to turn off the message alert "Cellular data is turned off for _____"?

    I turned off cellular data for about half of my apps so I don't go over my data limit (Thanks AT&T). Now every time I open these apps a message alert pops up saying "Cellular Data is Turned Off for _____. You can turn on cellular data for this app in Settings" And it gives two buttons, "Settings" and "Ok".
    If it were only a few times, I wouldn't care about closing this message. But now that I have to do it like 20-30 times a day, it has become SUPER ANNOYING. Seriously Apple, how do I turn your stupid message off??? I TURNED OFF MY CELLULAR DATA FOR A REASON, please stop reminding me of what I already know.
    AND the worst part is, when that message pops up it locks the phone so the home button doesn't work. Pretty lame software feature in my opinion.

    There is a fix for this!  I was about to jailbreak my phone to cure this issue, but found the answer on another thread.
    Go to settings/notification center.  Select the app in question and turn the slider for "allow notifications" to ON.  Turn off the sliders below for sounds, etc. Now it shows up in the notification center separately  (or seemingly not at all) and not on your screen when you switch to the app.  Good luck!

  • How Do I Stop the "Cellular Data is Turned Off..." Pop-up?

    RE:  "Cellular Data is Turned Off for..." pop-up on iOS 8.0.2 (iPhone 5s)
    I have set cellular data ON for some apps and OFF for others.  BY CHOICE.  So, I am suffering EVERY DAY with a pop-up telling me my "Cellular Data is Turned Off for..." for all of the applications I turn on where I HAVE PURPOSEFULLY CHOSEN TO TURN OFF THE CELLULAR DATA.
    I NEVER want to see this pop-up again.  And, I do not wish to turn on Cellular Data for most of my apps.  BY CHOICE.  Stop popping me!  Somebody please answer this question.  I absolutely hate this pop-up.  I am often in situations without my glasses - and this thing just drives me crazy!  Can't see the right answer....push the wrong side "OK" versus "Settings".  I hate it.  I know what apps I want to have cellular data and which one's I do not!   Stop the pop-up.  Or lose me to another brand of phone.  Period.
    Please, person with lots of "levels" - answer this question!  Help me turn the pop-up off.  I am not going to compromise other essential things (like turn off bluetooth or just check "all" for cellular data service and know that it will go away.  I want cellular data service for only a few things AND I never want to see this pop-up again.

  • Settings button (action) is on the left had side of the Cellular Data is Turned Off notification message put up while the OK button is present on the right hand side of the notification

    The defualt notification message put up when launching iTunes on iPhone devices show that Cellular Data is Turned Off message is put up with Settings and OK button.
    This seems to be inconsistent with the default 'Cancel' and 'Action' buttons in other notification messages from Apple.
    Is it fine to consider the OK button first (left) and Settings(right) button next in the Cellular Data is Turned Off error message in the apps so that it is in line with the apple guidelines??
    Please help with this.
    Thanks you so much.

    Try the basics from the manual.  Restart, reset, restore.

  • On iTunes 11, how can I access home sharing if the music is from a CD? Is there any way I can download these songs if (A) I no longer have the CD, or (B) I do not want to pay $25 a year for iTunes Match?

    On iTunes 11, how can I access home sharing if the music is from a CD on a different computer using Home Sharing? Is there any way I can download these songs if (A) I no longer have the CD, or (B) I do not want to pay $25 a year for iTunes Match?

    Yes, you can copy songs that you ripped from a CD to your Home Sharing computer.
    Turn on Home Sharing first on both computers.  To do that, go to File > Home Sharing > Turn on Home Sharing.  Enter your Apple ID and password.
    Now go to your computer that you want to copy the songs to and connect to your Home Share.  You can do that by clicking on the popover button located at the left top corner right below the play control buttons.  Click on it and scroll to the bottom until you see your Home Share and select it.
    Go to Music in your Home Share.  Select the songs that you want to copy in your Home Share and click Import at the bottom right corner.

  • How do you disable the "Cellular Data is Turned Off for '[app]'" message?

    I keep getting this message on my iPhone.  I know that the programs' access to cellular data has been turned off.  Does anyone know how to disable this message?  Is Apple going to fix this software issue (I know many people have had this problem too)?

    I find it very frustrating that only some users like me but not all have this issue.. This is clearly a bug in within the newest update and it is the most annoying. Apple need to fix this. I have no data, it comes up, the wifi is on, it comes up. Regardless of what i do, On or Off and even restoring the device it still continues to do it. Anything posted about how to fix this issue "manually" will be disregarded until Apple tech fix the software issue..

  • Are there any way to close the warning "cellular data is turned off" ?

    the warning says "turn on the cellular data or use wi-fi to acces data"
    I am not trying to access any data requires the internet connection.
    how can I turned off this warning ?

    The iPhone is designed to be constantly connected. The only way to avoid this warning is to make sure you have cellular data turned on or have a constant WiFi connection.
    There is one other option, but that's to pur the phone in airplane mode, which means no phone calls or text message either.

  • How can I disable the "Cellular data is turned off for this app" message while on WiFi?

    Super annoying: all apps I disable cellular data for popup with this message while on WiFi. It makes total sense for the message to display while on cellular data, but how can I make it stop while I'm on WiFi?!?!

  • Is it possible to have the cellular data switch turn off after a period of time. I would like to minimize the data usage, but often forget to turn off the cellular switch once I have returned to wifi coverage.

    My new iPhone 6+ seems to eat up data at a faster rate than my iPhone 4.  I was advised that turning off cellular data when I am at home or work where I have wifi will keep my cellular data usage to a minimum.  But I have found that I frequently forget to turn it off the cellular once I have finished a task where I needed it. Is there a way to have it turn itself off automatically after a period of time? Thanks

    No, you will have to manually do it.
    Have you look into putting your phone in airplane mode and then connect to wifi.

  • HT4203 When my cellular data is turned off, my iphone can't find a signal

    I can't make or receive calls or send or receive messages.  My phone used to work without the cellular data on, so I don't know why it suddenly stopped working.  Can someone help me fix this?

    You might want to contact your carrier about this to make sure your plan is properly provisioned.

  • The wifi on my iPod is turned off to save battery when not in use. I changed my password, but when I changed it, I must have mistyped it. I cannot restore my iPod, connect it to iTunes, or wipe it, as far as I've tried, and cannot contact Apple, HELP??

    HELP?!?! I'm really frustrated! I tried connecting it to my iTunes on my computer, and it said I have to unlock the device for that to work.... and I don't know the password... :/

    You need to place the iPod in recovery mode first before connecting to iTunes as this will allow you to bypass the passcode.  See this article for instructions on getting the iPod into recovery mode.

  • Hi I think its not a good idea to have "airplane mode" in Control center because if you lost your iphone person who find it could active it easy and you never find it

  • I LOST MY IPOD...CAN THE PERSON WHO FINDS IT UPLOAD ALL MY SONGS

    I LOST MY IPOD...CAN THE PERSON WHO FINDS IT UPLOAD ALL MY SONGS INTO THERE COMPUTER?...I KNOW THERE'S SUCH THINGS AS IPOD RIP AND ALL THAT...BUT JUST INCASE THEY DIDNT KNOW ABOUT IT...

    On a somewhat different topic. When I named my iPod, I called it, "if found please call (xxx)xxx-xxxx. That way, you do increase the odds of finding should it fall into the hands of an honest person, and if not, the person who found it will always know that he/she could have gotten it back to it's owner every time they use it.

  • Has anyone tried getting a new phone and then giving your old phone to someone else? because if you have, did you deactivate your iphone on your support profile before so? and will the person who gets it be able to activate it as thiers again afterwards?
