A thief stole my Iphone and I want to lock the device and wipe information
A thief stole my Iphone and I want to lock the device and wipe information. What can I do?
Did you have Find My iPhone enabled with your iCloud account settings on the iPhone along with having the passcode lock feature enabled preventing unauthorized access with your iPhone?

Hello Apple Support,
My iPhone 5 has been stolen and I want to lock the device totally.
My Apple ID is **********Stolen Device Serial Number: DN*******TWD
Stolen Device EMEI: *********.
<Edited by Host>Sorry if my English isn't correct because of I'm Italian.
You must switch on the lost mode on the app " Find my iPhone ".
If you can see it on the map of this app, you will know where is your iPhone in that moment.
REMEMBER: you can see your iPhone on the map of " Find my iPhone" only if it is online. Indeed you can't see your iPhone if it's offlined or switched of. -

I had my iphone 4 s stolen, how can i block the device or wipe out its content?
If the phone is offline there is no way to track it or send a message to it. You can place it in lost mode to lock it and send it a message (see http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mmfc0f0165), but this will not take place until the phone goes back online, if it ever does. If it does, you will get an email informing you.

I have two macs at my house, and multiple iPhones. I want to keep the same apple id as everyone else, but i want to put my own music only on my iPhone. I want to do this with my laptop which is not the family's main iTune's computer.
If you use the same Apple ID for iCloud on each device, yes. However, you can use the same Apple ID for iTunes content on each device, but different Apple ID's for iCloud, iMessage, FaceTime, etc., on each device. That way, you can have whatever iTunes content you want on each phone, but keep all of the other data separate. You can create another Apple ID here:

Must be a verified email address. -

How do I download the music from iTunes onto an old iPhone 3gs without affecting my iPhone 5? I have reset the iPhone to factory settings and when I plug it in it wants to use the device name for my current iPhone 5 and I don't want to change anything on my current iPhone. iTunes won't let me change the device name for the 3gs. I just want to use the old iPhone like an touch.
Hi littlemansa,
If I am understanding you correctly, it sounds like you are returning to an old iPhone that has been erased and you would like to set it up as a new device without restoring from a backup which would affect the name of your iPhone, as well as the contents therein. I have an article for you that can help you set up your iPhone as a new device, and that information can be found below:
How to erase your iOS device and then set it up as a new device or restore it from backups - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT4137
Basically, it seems like you may be stuck on a screen that is asking if you would like to restore your device from the backup that is filed under the name of your new iPhone, or if you would like to set up the device as a new device. I would suggest that you set it up as a new device to achieve your desired results.
Take care, and thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities.

i have an iphone 5 and my dad has iphone 5s , we want to interchange the phones . how can i exchange the data , contacts , apps and photos ?
Make sure to have a backup of each device, then use the backup to restore the phone after you have set it up as new device, explained in this article:
How to back up your data and set up as a new device
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
Choosing an iOS backup method (Should I use iTunes or iCloud to back up my iOS device?)
Check this article about the content of the backup.
iTunes: About iOS backups
Don't forget to deactivate the Activation Lock on both phones:
iCloud: Remove your device from Find My iPhone

I had my iPhone stolen and I wonder if I would be possible to completely lock the device, preventing the thief turned the phone again?
You can lock the device to prevent them from getting to your personal information if you set up mobileme, but unfortunately all the theif has to do is a forced restore and set up as new, get a new SIM and use it.

the thief stole my iphone! what to do?
If Find My Phone was setup/activated before your phone was stolen, you can login to iCloud.com from any computer & try to locate it. If Find My Phone was not setup, there is no way to locate your phone. Report the loss to the police, your carrier & Insurance company. Change all of your passwords.

someone stole my iphone and i don't know how to use the find my iphone app. i don't have the serial number. can somone tell me how to find my iphone?
Having a serial number won't help you track it.
If you set up and activate find my iphone on your iphone, then go to icloud.com and sign in to track your phone.
That is the only way to track your phone.
contact your cellphone provider and local authority.
