Bought an iphone on craigslist how can i check to see if its stolen

does anyone know where i can check to see if an iphone was stolen

There is no publicly available database of stolen iPhones.
You can ask the local police; but they will only know about iPhones
reported as stolen locally and not elsewhere in the state/county/shire/country/world.
You can enter the serial number here to see if Apple shows the
iPhone as having been replaced (common insurance scam in some
countries), but the information is only as good as the insurance/
wireless carrier reports to Apple.

    I bought my iPhone in Germany, how can I change carriers to be able to use it in the US?

    Ask the carrier it's locked to if they'll unlock it. If they won't, sell it.

  • How can I check to see if my software has been registered?

    After a recent hardware replacement I am unable to find my Aperture 2 download. I never used it anyway so i'm not concerned but would like to be able to pass it on if it can be, is this possible? How can I check to see if I even registered it? I have the original packaging and all contents including Serial numbers, support ID, and four software coupons for updates. I am a bit technophobe, sorry!
    So,
    1. How can I check to see if it was registered correctly?
    2. Can someone else use the software?
    Hope someone can help.

    You don't need to check registration. In the Apple world registering software really doesn't have much of a purpose.
    If the software was bought on DVD and you have the serial number you are free to give it or sell it to anyone you wish.  Just keep in mind that Aperture 2 is very old and while it (sort of) works on the newer OS's it really isn;t a good solution for anyone serious about using Aperture. 
    It would be OK for someone with older hardware that is unable to upgrade past Snow Leopard but for anyone with newer hardware it would be a mistake to use.

  • How can I check to see if there is an older version of an app compatable with 4.2.1 before purchase?

    how can I check to see if there is an older version of an app compatable with 4.2.1 before purchase? I don't want to buy an app later to realize there isn't a version supporting my Ipod...

    Apple does not track iPhones reported as stolen, nor
    has AT&T claimed that it currently does so but has
    announced that it is considering doing so in the future.

    In order to avoid detection, the installer will first look for the presence of some antivirus tools and other utilities that might be present on a power user's system, which according to F-Secure include the following:
    /Library/Little Snitch
    /Developer/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/MacOS/Xcode
    /Applications/VirusBarrier X6.app
    /Applications/iAntiVirus/iAntiVirus.app
    /Applications/avast!.app
    /Applications/ClamXav.app
    /Applications/HTTPScoop.app
    /Applications/Packet Peeper.app
    If these tools are found, then the malware deletes itself in an attempt to prevent detection by those who have the means and capability to do so. Many malware programs use this behavior, as was seen in others such as the Tsunami malware bot.

  • How can I check and see if someone is tracking online activity on my IPad 3 from their device?

    How can I check to see if someone is tracking or accessing my Internet activity on my Ipad3 from a separate location?

    You can't. Make sure you have security/firewall set on your router. If you are using your iPad in a free wifi location (ie like Starbucks) it's possible for someone to intercept your wifi activity.

  • HT1212 If I never synced to itunes and I restore the device. Will I lose unstored data? How can I check to see the last time my phone was backed up if I forgot the passcode to my phone?

    If I never synced to itunes and I restore the device. Will I lose unstored data? How can I check to see the last time my phone was backed up if I forgot the passcode to my phone?

    If you can't remember your passcode, you'll need to restore your phone.  If you never synched to iTunes, all data on your phone will be erased.  No way around this.

  • How can I check to see if my version of QuickTime Pro 7.6.6 already has ProApps QuickTime Codecs installed? I also have Final Cut Pro 6. I'm asking because my computer can't seem to play ProRes 422 codec video without stuttering or skipping?

    I have a fairly capable MacBook Pro (2.93 GHzIntel Core 2 Duo processor, 4GB 1067 MHz DDR3 memory and a 1TB HD -5400 rpm, so I am hoping it's not that my computer that can't support it and it's something more simple like not have ProApps QuickTime codecs installed. Thanks in advance!

    If you can view a ProRes 4-2-2 video at all, then you either have the independent ProRes422 Playback component installed or the FCP "Pro" video components installed.

    Check your "~/Library/QuickTime" folder for your various "Pro" components. If in doubt that you have them all, re-run the FCP installer and it should add any missing components, apps, or utilities.

  • How can I check to see if my iPad is factory unlocked

    Hi, I'm having problem using a sim in my iPad when there is no Wi-Fi. I have been told that iPads lock to the first sim that is installed. As I have now changed my network provider, could this be the reason my new sim does not work?
    If this is the case, how can I check to see if the iPad is still unlocked, as I do not have another sim card to try. More importantly, How do I unlock my iPad???
    Thanks for your help
    RM

    The only iPads that are unlocked (for use in the US) are iPads that shipped with the Apple Sim card.  I believe that is the iPad Air 2 and the iPad Mini with Retina.  The other iPads are locked to the carrier they were purchased for use with, and that cannot be changed.  The only exception would be in using a sim card in another country. 
    If it is an AT&T iPad, you have to use AT&T.  Same for Sprint, Verizon & T-Mobile.

    You can't.  The warranty on the iPhone has NEVER been international.  You will need to bring the phone to Thailand (or send it to someone you know there to bring it to Apple) for servicing.

  • If I buy an iphone second hand, how can I check that is valid and purchased for real?, If I buy an iphone second hand, how can I check that is valid and purchased for real?

    Hello
    I'd like to buy an iphone second hand and although I trust the source I'd like to be able to check with certainty that the phone was bought instore.
    I was thinking to ask for the receipt and check the serial number. is the serial number written on the back of the phone and the recipt(if the phone is sealed)?
    Similarly, if I buy an ipad 3 or 4 second hand, how do you check this again?
    Please let me know with some details about this.
    Thanks
    Anthony

    Ask the person you are buying the phone from to provide the original proof of purchase for the phone. If you do not know the seller personally I would be very cautious about purchasing the phone. There are many many stolen, hacked and jailbroken phones out there and these will only cause you grief down the road.
