Can I register an iPhone without having it physically .

I lost my iPhone, it was new, I didn't register it in iCloud. I have the box with the serial number, I wander if I can register the phone with out having it with me and hopefully been able to track it with the app find my iphone

It's too late to enable iCloud since it's lost, but go to iCloud.com then click Find My iPhone.
See if it shows up.

  • When I set up email for the first time, I had to enter a 4 digit pin. Since then, every time I switch my phone on, I have to enter this pin.   How do I remove or bypass the pin so that I can switch on the Iphone without having to first enter a pin?

    Go to Settings>General>Passcode Lock>tap Turn Passcode Lock Off, enter your "pin".
    Edit:  Are you saying you are getting a prompt for your email pin, or are you talking about the passcode lock that appears when you turn the phone on?

  • Can i lock my iphone without having the apple id?

    Can i lock my child iphone without having his apple id?

    If you mean you wish to lock it remotely, then you need whatever Apple ID and password that was used on the iPhone to set up Find My iPhone. If that was your child's ID, then yes, you'll need that ID and password.

  • IPhone software update errored. How can I fix my iPhone without having to do a restore?

    I plugged in my iPhone 4 to do a sync this afternoon.  I got the message that there was a software update.  Sadly, I've updated to the crappy iOS7, so I chose to install the update (which I think is 7.0.2.)  The update was downloaded, and was loading to my iPhone.  I suddenly received an error that my iPhone couldn't update.  I think it had an error code of 411. My iTunes refreshed, and is now not showing that it recognized my phone.  Now the only thing I can get to show up on my screen is a graphic of the iTunes icon, and an arrow directing me to plug in my phone.  When I do this, a message appears that iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode and that I must restore this phone before it can be used with iTunes.  I don't want to perform a restore.  I will lose all my data.  So, why did this error?  How can I fix my iPhone without doing a restore?

    I think it had an error code of 411....So, why did this error?
    There is no such error code.  No one can tell you why without the correct code.
    Was this phone EVER jailbroken?

    There is no way to get out of recovery mode without restoring.
    You mean you actually didn't back up before updating, really?

  • How can i find an iphone without having icloud setup?

    my aunt lost her phone in the post office and im trying to find it.

    If Find My iPhone was not activated on the device, the only way to find it is the good old fashioned way, look for it. There is no other way to track the device.

    What To Do If Your iDevice 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 it is connected to the Internet by Wi-Fi or cellular. 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.

  • HT1727 i bought some ringtones on my iPhone, later on i sync my iphone to my old computer now i have a new mac pro desktop and i only have 2 ringtones on my phone but not the rest of them how can i get them back without having to pay for them again?

    i bought some ringtones on my iPhone, later on i sync my iphone to my old computer now i have a new mac pro desktop and i only have 2 ringtones on my phone but not the rest of them how can i get them back without having to pay for them again?

    If you bought them on your iPad then you will need to connect your iPad to your computer's iTunes and do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases to copy them over to the Tones part of your computer's iTunes library and you can then sync them to your iPhone - ringtones are a one-time only download, so you won't be able to redownload them directly on your phone.

  • I dropped my iPhone 4 in water and now it won't turn on at all, will i lose all of my data, for example my photos and messages etc? and is there any way you can back the phone up without having it switched on?

    I dropped my iPhone 4 in water and now it won't turn on at all, will i lose all of my data, for example my photos and messages etc? and is there any way you can back the phone up without having it switched on?

    If you had previously been backing up to iCloud (or a computer with iTunes), you would possibly have a backup.  That said, if you can't turn the phone on, you cannot create a backup of the device now.  Sorry.

  • How can I delete contacts on my iPhone without having to go into each one to do it?

    I delete contacts on my iPhone without having to go into each one to do it?

    Yeah you can only do all with itunes.
    On the phone itself you can only delete one at a time.
    Go to the contact, choose edit, scroll down, at the bottom is a delete option.

  • Is there anyway I can track down my stolen iphone without having iCloud set up?

    Is there anyway I can track down my stolen iphone without having iCloud. The phone is already stolen.

    I'm sorry for your unfortunate situation. This question is asked time and time again - sadly no, you cannot set up "Find my Mac" after it's lost or stolen. The whole point is that you have to set it up before you lose contact with it.
    When you get a new Mac, this is one of the first screens you see - "Do you want to set up iCloud to Find My Mac?". I don't understand why anyone would answer "No".
    There are third-party location utilities, but again, you have to set them up when the computer is still in your possession. I use Undercover by Orbicule - allows you to locate the computer and take webcam snapshots and keylogs of the person using it. I also have iCloud set up, so I have two options for location should it get lost or stolen.

  • HT4528 I forgot my passcode for my iPhone and I had too much content to back it up in iCloud. How can I unlock my phone without having to restore it?

    I forgot my passcode for my iPhone and I had too much content to back it up in iCloud. How can I unlock my phone without having to restore it? I don't want to lose all my contacts and messages.

    You can't. The ONLY solution is to restore the device. If there were an easy way around the passcode lock, it wouldn't serve much purpose, would it?

  • How can I register the iTunes without a credit card? No "None" can be selected but only different kinds of credit cards. Thanks!

    How can I register the iTunes without a credit card? No "None" can be selected but only different kinds of credit cards. Thanks!

    Get an iTunes gift card & redeem that in iTunes using your existing Apple ID.
    Then the option for none, regarding a credit card should appear.

  • Can i use my iphone without a sim card as a ipod

    can i use my iphone without a sim card as a ipod?

    The SIM card is not required to use an iPhone as an iPod or to be used for anything else besides cell phone related services.
    For a no longer activated iPhone, the no longer activated SIM card that was used with the iPhone when it was activated must be inserted in the iPhone in order to install an iOS update and for no other reason.
