Can someone find a iphone after its been "wiped" with the "find me" app?

Im sure this question has been asked time and time again but can someone find a stolen iphone after its been "wiped" with the "find me" app?
     this was the first time this has happen to me :-(. i think its sad the lowlifes are going around taking peoples iphones (and other items). Not that any body cares im a student putting myself through school who saved money to buy this phone not even a month ago. i feel so confliced because i question if i shouldve taken that one call and replied to a text msg in the first place.... thank god for insurance but im a broke collage student so it only goes so far but i digress. i am open to any suggestions into what i can do to pervent this happing again. i do know about the find me app.
also im new to this forum thing; normally im just a "reader" of these things. so with that said, could you please post helpful information or thoughts i would greatly appreciate it. I thank you in advance!

you should be able to still located your device.  it can be found by using another device with the find me app.  using the phone number should located it.  although, people who steal these devices are usually smart about it.  they will wipe the slate clean on phone and turn off the enable location function and just use it as a ipod touch basically and jail break it.  yes it is sad that people cant keep their hands off of peoples things.  but i would go to your nearest service preovider and let them know what happen.  they will be able to do a location pin point for you if its not too late.  i would do it , like.... tomorrow.  good luck

    Does Apple have the ability to Wipe Clean an iPhone after its been stolen ?

    No.  This can only be done by you, and only if you have enabled Find My iPhone before it was stolen.  If it was you may be able to remotely wipe it if it's online.  See http://osxdaily.com/2012/06/05/remote-wipe-iphone-or-ipad/.

  • Can I have an iPhone, ipad and MacBook Pro with the same apple id

    Can I have an iPhone, ipad and MacBook Pro with the same apple id. When I use I tunes it get confusing and I have a paid app that needs the same id

    When syncing the iPhone and iPad with iTunes on your computer that is logged in with the Apple ID you plan on using on all three, the Apple ID should be transferred to the iPhone and iPad for the iTunes & App Stores on each device. If not, you'll need to sign out of the existing Apple ID on the iPhone and iPad followed by signing in with the Apple ID you want to use on both.
    Keep in mind that all 3rd party apps include DRM protection which is tied to the iTunes account or Apple ID that was used to download the apps. With an app installed on your iPad and iPhone that was downloaded with a different Apple ID from the one you will be using now, you will need to use that Apple ID and password to install app updates for those apps. Not possible to transfer apps purchased with one Apple ID to another or to merge Apple IDs.

  • Can someone sell my iphone after I wiped it with find my iphone app?

    Lost my phone, wanted to know if someone can use my iphone after I erased and locked it with the Find My Iphone App???

    Unless you deleted it from your Apple ID account the phone will remain locked to your Apple ID, so unless someone who has your phone knows your Apple ID and password the phone is useless to them.

  • HT5228 How can I tell if my  computer has been infected with the Trojan?

    How can I tell if my computer has been infected with this latest Trojan (or with any Trojan)?  I did install the latest update to Java when I was told by my iMac that new software was available for my computer, which was just 2 or 3 days ago (first week of April).  Now it is being said that there was a Java Trojan.
    Many thanks for any replies!

    Log out and log back in, if you haven’t done so recently. Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the page that opens.
    Step 1
    Copy or drag — do not type — the line below into the Terminal window, then press return:
    launchctl getenv DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES
    Post the lines of output, if any, that appear below what you just entered (the text, please, not a screenshot.)
    Step 2
    Repeat with this line (triple-click anywhere in it to select the whole line):
    find /Applications /System/Library/CoreServices -type d -name *.app -exec defaults read {}/Contents/Info LSEnvironment \; 2> /dev/null | grep DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES
    The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear.
    If you get no output from either step, you're not infected with any variant of Flashback that I know of.

  • Can I purchase an iphone3g and then use it with the apple golf app as a golf gps without having to be on a cell plan or data plan?

    If I purchase an iPhone 3g, can I then use it with the apple golf app without having cell or data service?

    You do not need have cell service for the GPS to work.
    If the iphone is new, then you would have to activate it with a carrier in order for it to work at all.
    If it is used, then you can use it without wireless service:

  • Someone stole my ipod i tryesomeone stole my ipod i tryed find my iphone but its not connected to the internet what can i do??d find my iphone but its not connected to the internet what can i do??

    some one stole my ipod touch i tryed fin my iphone but its not connectes to thei nternet what can i do??

    If you have previously set up/configured the FindMyIPod service in the iPod's settings, you might be able to track it that way by going to www.icloud.com and signing in with your Apple ID.  Then click the FindMyiPod icon.  This also requries that the iPod Touch be still powered on, connected to a nearby Wi-Fi network whose location has been correctly entered into Apple's location database) and not have been restored by somebody else who my have located the device.
    Otherwise, I'm afraid you are out of luck and will need to look for it as you would anything else you lose. You should report the lost item to the local authorities and change any and all passwords to any accounts you may have set up or accessed with the device. Apple can do nothing to help.

  • How to restore iphone 4 apps, after its been copied through the Iexplorer app on the Mac?

    I recently wanted to restore my iphone to its original factory settings, but I didn't want to lose my app data and game saves. so I copied the apps through Iexplorer, but I have no idea how to put the App files back into the Iphone. Does any know?

    You have to put the apps into iTunes and then sync them to your iPhone. To restore the saved games, then unless iExplorer has some special process that I can't find in their support information, for this you'll need to restore your iPhone from the most recent backup in iTunes.
    Regards.

  • My computer became corrupted, and I reinstalled windows, only to find my iphone will no longer sync with the same computer. How do I sync my phone and tones to the same computer without losing everything?

    This is my first time using this forum, and I apologize if my post isn't "normal" or if my question is too long. My old acer computer had become corrupted and I had to reinstall my copy of windows. When I tried to sync a new ringtone to my iphone, which was only ever synced to this same computer, I was prompted to delete everything I had so I could install one ringtone. That does not sound ideal, and I refuse to delete everything I've put on my phone and my data to sync to itunes. There has to be another way to show my phone that this is the same computer. So I do not have to go through the hassle of doing everything again. I could not find an answer in the forums, and hope you can help me. This is pretty close to being a deal breaker for me. I'm beyond frustrated with this policy.
    I don't believe it matters, but I'm running the latest version of itunes, as of today, and I have an iPhone 4 CDMA iOS 7.4.

    Thanks, Lawrence. I figured that was what I was going to have to do in the end. I have a few games with quite a few hours invested, and I worry that I'll lose the progress I have as they do not save to the cloud. I may have to bite the bullet, and just take the plunge to resolve this. I just want a way to easily transfer my "Home Computer" for my iPhone. My laptop is years old and in need of being replaced, and it's about time to upgrade my phone. These life events piling up are making me consider switching to a friendlier OS. I'm not using this as a threat. I just hope some apple high up will read this, and realize that we need alternatives. Life happens.
    Thank you both Paul and Lawrence. I clicked "This helped me" not knowing it would remove the option to choose "This fixed my problem" too. For anyone else reading this thread. Using the guide provided has done both. It has helped me and given me a fix to my current problem. Lawrence has also provided me with the last bit of information I feel is missing from wjosten's guide. That syncing will completely erase all of your data and reinstall it in one fell swoop. It's a great fix. Even if it isn't the exact one I wanted. Thank you again!
