Can support remotely activate "find my Iphone" if you ask them to?

I lost my phone, it was not set up with the application, can I ask support to remotely activate the "find my iphone" app? If not then any answers on how to help me find the phone would be appreciated. The phone was out of charge when I last had it, and has a password on it, it was not set up with Icloud either. Anything will help, thank you.

No, Apple does not and cannot remotely access a users products.  Find My Phone has to be turned on while in possession of the iPhone, it cannot be activated remotely.

  • How can you activate find my iphone if you dont have the device you need to find

    I wasnt aware that i had to activate find my iphone and Apple themselves are being useless in helping. Is there anyway i can activate it without having the device as i have obviously lost it. or is there anyway of displaying a message even though it isnt registerted?

    No and no.
    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
    - If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it.
    - Apple will do nothing without a court order

  • Can Apple remotely activate 'Find My Mac' if given a MacBook Pro serial number?

    I have a registered MacBook Pro that was stolen on 9-11.
    I live on an American AF Base in Okinawa, Japan and filed a police report.
    I have my serial number and have 'Find My Mac' apps for iPad, iPhone and MacBook.
    My Apple ID recognizes that I have the feature fo the iPad & iPod, but NOT the MacBook Pro.
    How do I get them to REMOTELY push the app to my MacBook when this PUNK gets online?

    You can sync data without enabling "Find My Mac":

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    Unfortunately, the only place that you can activate "Find my phone" is from the device itself.

  • How can i activate find my iphone

    Hi, good morning now i facing a problem about how to activate ( find my iphone ) apps ?

    To activate Find my iPhone, the device has to turned on AND in your possession. You can't do it after the device has already been stolen or turned off.
    That would be like locking your front door after theives have already entered your home.

  • Hi , my iphone was stolen how can I find it , I didn't  activate ( find my iphone ) but I have the iPhone serial number ?

    Hi , my iphone was stolen how can I find it , I didn't  activate ( find my iphone ) but I have the iPhone serial number ?
    please help me or tell me how can I restor me pictures from icloud ?

    You're welcome.  If you mean how does iCloud help you recover your photos, it can help in one of two ways:
    First, if you have an iCloud backup of your stolen phone, you can restore a replacement phone or another iOS deivce to your iCloud backup.  This would restore the photos from the backup to the device, along with your other data and settings.  You restore to an iCloud backup during the initial device setup.  If the device is already set up your have to erase it by going to Settings>General>Reset and tapping Erase All Content and Settings, then go back through the initial setup screens, and when given the option choose Restore from iCloud Backup.
    If your photos were in your photo stream, you can either sync another iOS device with your iCloud account and turn on photo stream, or you can sync your computer with your iCloud account and turn on photo stream, as outlined here: http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/ios.html.  This would allow you to access any photos that still remain in your photo stream.  (However, photos are only saved in photo stream for 30 days.  Any photos older than 30 days would be lost.)

    You may have to do this several times.
    Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school environment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

    ‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
    Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
    I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
    Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
    1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
    2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
    3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
    4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
    5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
    6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
    7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
    8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
    If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

  • Says I've reached the maximum of free accounts for my device. It's a used iPhone 4s. Trying to activate find my iPhone. Please help!?

    We bought our son a used iPhone 4s almost 2 years ago. It was recently lost, but we were lucky enough to get it back. As a precaution in case it's lost or stolen again I'm trying to activate find my iPhone, but it tells me I have to have iCloud. But iCloud keeps telling me I have reached the maximum number of free accounts for this device. We have never had an iCloud account, so I'm assuming it was from the original owner. I have no way of contacting this person anymore because their eBay account is no longer active. The phone was factory reset when we bought it, and we reset it again today trying to see if that would fix it, but he lost all his stuff for nothing. We also updated the software. Is there anything we can do about this? Or at least maybe a different app that can track a phone that doesn't require iCloud? I don't know anything about Apple devices. Thanks so much!

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    Unfortunately once all the 3 iCloud accounts have been created on your mobile device, you cannot create any more regardless of what you do. You will need to re-use one of the accounts that you have already created or create your new account on another device or computer.

  • I can not restore because I can not turn off Find my Iphone

    Hello,
    I'm using iphone 5 with ios 7. I just upgraded ios 7 today. after upgrade I realised that passcode was activated before upgrade I was not using that feature. I forgot my passcode so I got my phone disabled for a while. I searched the discussions and saw that I need to restore and then restore from back up to have the passcode to disable. When I try to restore my phone I got the below message:
    Find My iPhone must be turned off before “Jean” can be restored.
    Go to iCloud Settings on your iPhone and turn off Find My iPhone before restoring your iPhone.
    I can not turn off Find my Iphone because my phone locked and I forgot the passcode.
    Anyone can help?

    Follow the steps above to remove it from the account, but then
    "After the device has been removed from the account, turn it off by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button located on the top right side of the device. Then restart your device and proceed with device setup as you would normally. "
