Tracking a stolen (deactivated) iphone

So I used to have a first generation iPhone but eventually got the 3GS a year ago. I still used my old iPhone for it's apps and iPod, but I think someone stole it while I was up at college. Is there any way to track an iPhone even if it's not activated? I still have the box, so I have the serial number, but I don't have any of the tracking apps on it. Thanks.

The person need to put the phone on and u need his phone number to track it... And, i guess, u need to be polis or other higher person to have the legal rights for tracking down a private person!

  • Tracking a stolen Iphone 2G

    Is there a way to track a stolen 2G Iphone? My daughters 2G was stolen today and I m wondering if through GPS there is a way to locate her phone. I have a 3G, which I think might help in locating hers. Greatly appreciate any help. Thanks and Happy New Year!

    As I'm sure you know, the first generation iPhone doesn't include GPS and even if it did, this wouldn't be possible. When using an app that requires location services with a first generation iPhone or with an iPhone 3G, the app requests your approval in order to do so.
    Even with a police report, Apple nor AT&T will help unless the police request their assistance to do so which isn't likely.
    If she didn't have the passcode lock feature enabled along with the erase data option after 10 failed passcode attempts, if she was accessing an email account with the iPhone's mail client, she needs to change her password for the account - for all email accounts if more than one email account was being accessed.
    If you are in the U.S., you also need to contact AT&T to notify them that the iPhone was stolen.

  • My iphone.4 has been stolen,i want to track it with another iphone or my pc ... is that possible ?

    IF you installed and activated find my iphone on the iphone iself BEFORE it was stolen, AND it is on, AND it has not been restored, then you may be able to track it.
    Since you are asking the question, I am guessing that you did not install find my iphone.
    If this is the case, then, no, you cannot track it.
    Sorry.

  • If I restore my new iPhone from the back up of my old stolen one.. Will I still be able to track the stolen?

    My iphone recently got stolen so I purchased a new one and plugged it into the computer and it gives me 2 options:
    1. Set up as new phone
    2. Restore from backup of "___'s phone"
    If I restore it from the back up of my stolen phone, will I still be able to track the stolen phone still? Thanks

    What I mean is still track my stolen one. I don't know if this will make sense to you but I'm thinking that if I restore the back up data on this phone..on my stolen phone it will like forget the icloud account or something and think this phone is the stolen one so when I go to track the stolen one, it will show that phone as the one I have now because I restored the back up from that phone.

    Apple (and no one else) can not assist (with serial number or iCloud) in finding a lost or stolen iPad.
    Report to police along with serial number. Change all your passwords.

  • How do i track a stolen ipod touch

    how do i track a stolen ipod touch

    Hello,
    I am currently an owner of an iPod Touch 4th generation, running IOS 6.1.2. I will be glad to help solve your problem with your iPod/iPad/or iPhone.
    Thats a good idea!
    Lost or Stolen iPod/iPad/or iPhone:
    If you have turned on “Find my iPod/iPad/or iPhone recently, then you can find it, by following these steps:
    Log into www.icloud.com with the Apple I.D. Associated with your iPod/iPad/or iPhone
    Click on Devices
    Click on the device that has gone lost
    Either put it in Lost Mode (suggested), or make it play a sound. (PLEASE NOTE: DEVICE MUST BE CONNECTED TO WIFI IN ORDER FOR THESE TO HAPPEN)
    Hope that helps!
    If none of the above solutions work, could you please reply back as soon as possible, as I will try to find another solution to your problem.
    Sincerely,
    Pizza98704

  • Anyway of tracking a stolen macbook pro?

    anyway of tracking a stolen macbook pro?

    I believe that find my iphone also works over icloud for laptops. If it's connected to the internet, just go online and look up find my iphone, and it'll show your device (even though its not an iphone) on a map.

  • Is it possible to track a stolen ipods usage via serial number

    Is it possible to track a stolen ipods usage via serial number

    No. The SN will only help identify the iPod as yours if it is recovered
    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
    - If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it unless you had iOS 7 on the device. With iOS 7, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.
    - Apple will do nothing without a court order

    So my brother just recently joined the army and someone has stolen his iPhone how can we help him find it ?

    Only if his iPhone has Find My iPhone activated before the lost and the iPhone has Internet connection (cellular or Wi-Fi)

    Login with his Apple ID and password to track.

  • I was stolen my iphone Can I erase my data from the phone?

    I was stolen my iphone
    Can I erase all my data from the phone from the cloud?
    - contact
    - notes
    passwords....?

    If you activated Find My iPhone (in Settings>icloud), and if the device's batteries still have a charge, the device is not turned off and has not been reset and is connected to wifi, then you can try to track it.  Using a computer, log into icloud.com and look at the Find My iPhone page.  On a device, invoke the Find My iPhone app (get it for free at the itunes app store) and log into the icloud account.
    If it is offline, then one of the requirements listed above is not met (like being connected to wifi, or if the device was stolen and the thief reset it).

  • TS4006 is there a way to track a stolen ph with a special ID if it's activated by another user??

    My purse was stolen yesterday and with it my Iphone 5. Seems like they have turned off my device, I also wiped it. so my question is ...
    Is there a way to track a stolen ph with a special ID ???

    The IMEI number is unique to the phone.  If you give this to your carrier they can often use it to blacklist the device, preventing it from being used on their network.  Technically they could probably also locate it if it's on their network, but I don't think they would do this without being instructed to do so by the police or a court order.
