Besides "Find my iPhone", are there any other ways to track?

Hello,
So some tool stole my phone right out of the locker room today. This dude turned the phone off as soon as he could, so all I have is "offline" displaying next to the phone in "Find my iPhone". Is there anything else I can do to track it? It's 2014 and we're dealing with the most advanced smartphone on the market right now.
Thanks so much,
Johnathan

The good news is that with Find My iPhone and iOS 7, the device will be protected by Activation Lock.  Go ahead and enable Lost Mode via icloud.com and Find My iPhone, and you can enter a custom message as well.  Even if he restores the device 'as new' via iTunes, he won't be able to bypass iOS 7's Activation Lock.

  • My new iphone was stolen today. I'm trying to track it via icloud but it shows the average ratio that the phone is disconnected. Are there any other way to track the phone. Thanks for your help.

    If the phone is turned off, doesn't have an internet connection, or has been restored preventing "Find my iPhone" from being able to work, there is no other way to track it.

    What To Do If Your iDevice or Computer Is Lost Or Stolen
    iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad
    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:

  • My iphone was stolen, when i tracked my phone its already offline so without hesitation i deleted it. Is there any other way to track it using serial number? or make the phone good as a dead iphone?

    Sorry, there is no way to track your phone. Call your carrier, & if they offer blacklisting, have them blacklist your phone.
    Since you're running iOS 7.0. the phone is useless to anyone but you, as it cannot be re-activated without knowing your Apple ID/Password.

    Report the theft to the police. Stealing iPhones is a crime. Presumably you have proof it is your phone?

  • How can I configure iDS 4.12 for secureLDAP? Are there any other ways to avoid sending clear passwords doing a simple bind?

    I want password-authentication in a secure way, may be secureLDAP is a good and cheap way to do. Or are there other functions that do a better job? What changes are needed?

    If you want to secure LDAP,then SSL connections should be enabled.
    If you want all the users of your Directory Server to use SSL or certificate-based authentication when they connect using LDAP client applications, you must make
    sure they perform the following tasks:
    ? Create a certificate database.
    ? Trust the Certificate Authority (CA) that
    issues the server certificate.

  • Are there any other ways of backing up sms message...

    Hi, I came across my old N95 8GB and realised it has old sms messages from someone very close who passed away recently.  I want to sell the phone but don't want to lose my messages. 
    The problem I have is that I have tried every method to do this but all fail. 
    I have tried Nokia PC suite - just keeps showing 0 messages even though there are hundreds on the phone itself.  Same with conatcs just won't show up so I cant back them up but there on the phone itself.    Tried all the reinstalling stuff and updates and so on but have had no luck
    Nokia Lifeblog - Same thing, shows no contacts or sms
    Nokia Suite - This throws an error when trying to read contatcs "Reading the phone failed - "Reading contacts from Nokia n95 8gb failed.  Reconnect USB cable to your phone or connect via bluetooth.  Error code:80700004"
    When viewing messages it just shows 0.  I was able to view pics but nothing else. 
    I tried using xplore to manually find them but not sure where they are, I found private folders but they all seem confusing.  I 've done a soft reset, restarts, everything.   
    Can anyone give me any ideas how I can save these old sms messages even if its just on my pc, I just don't want to lose them.  Any help would be appreciated. 

    peterman50,
    Welcome to Nokia Discussions
    First, sorry to hear about your loss. Is the N95 8GB updated to the latest version? Maybe you can try removing the existing Nokia Suite and installing an older version which is version 7.1.180.94. Make sure you run the software "as administrator" on Windows 7 and 8 and when the phone prompt, choose Nokia PC suite mode.
    If that does not help, try to back it up using bluetooth - dongle via pc or connection through a bluetooth enabled laptop.
    Good luck

  • TS4006 my ipad was stolen while on vacation in mexico. when i try to use icloud to find it it says i have no devices set up on icloud. is there any other way to track it? also is there any way to cancel a remote wipe?

    i need help. i am currently in mexico city. i was staying at my cousins house  and yesterday when we got back for going to museums we saw that the apt had been broken into and everything taken including my ipad. i have it set up with icloud so i tried to find it but it told me that the service was unavailable at the moment. since i have a lot of personal information on my ipad i chose to remote wipe it.  i havent receivec a confirmation email so i believe it hasnt been done yet. but now when i go on icloud.com it says i dont have any devices set up. is there anyway to cancel the remote wipe and find the ipad? i have it password protected so im afraid that whoever stole it might have tried to figure out the password and ereased everything. i would really apretiate any information that might help me recover my ipad.

    Unfortunately, instructions to remotely wipe cannot be cancelled.

  • How to find out whether my Iphone 3Gs is officlially unlocked ( factory unlocked ) or "made" unlocked ? Can I upgrade its OS to OS 5 even if my phone is "made" unlocked ? how to up gared its OS ? are there any better ways to do it ?

    How to find out whether my Iphone 3Gs (OS version 3.1.3) is officlially unlocked ( factory unlocked ) or "made" unlocked ? Can I upgrade its current OS 3.1.3 to OS 5 even if my phone is not officlially unlocked ? how to up grade its OS ? what are there any better ways to do it ?
    Thanks,
    PRANAJ

    Depends wher you obtained the iPhone from and it's original supplier
    If the iPhone is an authorised unlock ( approved by the carrier) or was
    purchased from Apple as an unlocked iPhone  updating the iOS
    will have no effect on the iPhone and it's lock status
    HOWEVER if the software has been tampered with to remove the lock,
    updating the iOs will lock the iPhone back to the original carrier who holds the lock
    To find out the status of your iPhone  you could call Apple support
    and they may tell you if the iPhone is locked or not and if it is which carrier

    Are there any other templates available besides those that come with Numbers?

    Hi David,
    If you have Numbers '09 there is a Checking Register template that might suit.
    Numbers can open Excel templates and documents. Do a web search for checking register spreadsheet.
