No, you cannot track it.
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:
This link, Re: Help! I misplaced / lost my iPhone 5 today morning in delta Chelsea hotel downtown an I am not able to track it. Please help!, has some good advice regarding your options when your iDevice is lost or stolen.
  1. Reporting a lost or stolen Apple product
  2. Find my lost iPod Touch
  3. AT&T. Sprint, and Verizon can block stolen phones/tablets

  5. What to do if your iOS device is lost or stolen
  6. 6 Ways to Track and Recover Your Lost/Stolen iPhone

It pays to be proactive by following the advice on using Find My Phone before you lose your device:

  • HT4865 What do i do to find my lost iphone? I did not install find my iphone app

    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.

    Hello, someone stole my sons IPhone today in his gym class. I have the "find my iphone app" on my phone BUT he is not a listed device. I went into his itunes account and downloaded the "find my iphone app" app under his account. When I try to log into "find my iphone" under his name on my device I get an error msg involving icloud......he is MUCH better at this stuff then I am BUT he is in school and now I  need to figure out how to use the "find my iphone app". PLEASE HELP

    It doesn't matter whick account you use to download the app.
    You have to sign into the app (or iCloud.com from a web browser on your computer) with his Apple ID & password.
    Find My iPhone will only work if it was enabled in the iCloud settings on the device and it was powered on with a connection to the internet

  • My iphone is stolen and I have not activated Find My Iphone app, what do I do? Help, please.

    My iphone was stolen at a party last night and I'm worried a fob might've taken it. Unfortunately, I did not have a lock on it nor have I activated my Find My iPhone app on my phone tho I have already downloaded it. I would love to track it down, or at the very least, erase photos or all data if possible. Please help?

    There is nothing you can do to locate, lock or erase your dataif you didn't activate Find My iPhone.  (What did you thing the purpose doing so was??)
    What you can do now is report the loss to your carrier and get service disconnected, as well as report to your local police.

    Hey!
    I have tried holding down the home and power button countless of times. It doesnt respond at all. Plug my phone to a charger and hold down the power button and my phone switched on. But it said Activation Required and said connect to Itunes. As e screen remains on the connect to Itunes screen, I disconnect the charger from my phone and my phone went dead instantly. My battery is full btw. Tried connecting to Itunes through my Macbook Pro but iTunes doesnt detect my device and the apple logo flashes for about a few seconds on my phone and then disappear and then came back on again. My Iphone has been connected to my laptop for about 30 mins and the apple logo has been coming on and off for 30 minutes now and Itunes has not detect my device yet.
    SIGHHH.

  • 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.

    I think I still have like 4.2.2 features, but I know I downloaded it to my phone I'm at work but now I don't know how to make the app work from my work computer. Is the iCloud account like the apple or iTunes account?
    iCloud is Apple's new online service, replacing mobileme - http://www.apple.com/icloud/.  The web account page is https://www.icloud.com/
    Find my iPhone is a feature of iCloud - http://www.apple.com/icloud/features/find-my.html
    And again, the downloadable app has nothing to do with making your iPhone discoverable by find my iphone.  The app is used by a device to find another device which has had the trackable feature enabled in its iCloud account settings.  Simply having the app on a device does NOT make that device trackable.  In order to be able to find a device, you need to have an iCloud account on that device, and you need to enable the find-my-iPhone setting under that account - nothing to do with the app at all.

  • I was looking at the "Find my iPhone" app and I have a doubt regarding how it works for the macbook. In order to detect the location, the macbook should remain signed into iCloud. What if the thief logs out of iCloud. Would we able to locate the macbook?

    It should work fine for iPhone/iPad because we can enable "Restrictions" to prevent the user from signing out of iCloud. Do we have simialr settings for the macbook?
    Thanks,

    If it's not on the device list, it indicates that someone has gone to Find My iPhone on icloud.com and manually deleted it from the device list (as explained here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmfc0eeddd), and it has not gone back online since (which would cause it to reappear on the device list; Find My iPhone has been turned of in settings on the device; the iClolud account has been deleted from the device; or the entire devices has been erased and restored.
    Unfortunately, there's no other way to track the phone other than through Find My iPhone.  You could call your carrier and see if they would blackliste it so at least the theif couldn't use it.

  • I accidentally erased my phone from Find my Iphone App and I have a sim lock on my phone - now it wont let me restore. any ideas? Thanks

    I accidentally erased my phone from Find my Iphone App and I have a sim lock on my phone - now it wont let me restore. any ideas?
    When I try to connect to itunes, It states ''The sim card of this phone is PIN locked - please enter the PIN code of your SIM card and connect again to iTunes" however I don't have the option to enter the Pin code on my phone as on my phone screen it states "your iphone could not be activated because the activation server is temporaily unavailable"
    PLEASE HELP AND THANK YOU

    With a sim lock,
    you'll have to contact your carrier for the PUK code, as described here:

    Apple will not track it for you unless with Find my iPod. Again, whether you have the app or not doesn't matter, I believe you still had the service enabled. It doesn't hurt to try. http://icloud.com, click Find my iPhone after you sign in.

  • I cant find my iphone 4s and the power is off, can it be located still

    i lost or was stolen (my iphone 4s) and I have gone to the find my iphone app, and it says its not set up.   I have used it before and it worked.  I am sure the phone battery is dead by now.  Is there any way my phone carrier can find it somehow?  I was hoping someone would turn it on so It can be located with the app.
    Im not the most savy tech person so excuse me if this is something obvious just not to me

    thank you for response.
    Been reading through the site searching for anything to give me hope that someone... may power it on and then the app locate the phone for me.
    From posts, that is most likely not going to happen...
    I dont have insurance so this is a no win situation, but should I stil call provider and report it missing? or should I just hope someone is careless enough to try to use it so it will eventually be able to be tracked?
    Again sorry for the stupid questions, this was my first iphone and I am way behind on the technology
