Can you unlock a phone via iCloud

my iphone was stolen almost 2 wks ago. I recieved a email notification regarding its location 2 days ago. But when I opened it to see the local, I couldn't see it. Looking closer at the email it only allows you to see the physical location up to 24 then it's gone. I did a remote lock from my pc as soon as I realized it was taken. I would like to know if there's any way I can unlock it. This way they are able to turn it back on so I can see it's location again. Or is there a back log of it's location that I can retrieve somehow (even tho it's more then 24 hours after it was found)? PLEASE HELP!!!

Syncing with iTunes doesn't transfer photos from your phone to your computer, it only transfers photos from your computer to your phone.  This explains how to import photos: iOS: Import personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer.

    If the free disk space on your Mac is too small to backup and your iPhone then it has too little free space to run properly.
    You need to start doing some removal of data to free up space on the disk drive. The data can be either deleted or moved to another disk drive. what ever you do leave the system files alone and work with the files in your Home directory only.
    The first thin you need to do is to make sure you have a backup of the Mac first.

  • Unlock stolen mac via iCloud?

    My MBP was stolen last week while abroad and obviously there's little chance of recovering it unless I can track it. When I discovered that it was stolen, we filled out a police report and I immediately locked the Mac via iCloud/Find My Mac. I got an email the following day from iCloud saying that my Mac was online at 7:44AM and has been locked. Unfortunately, I didn't get any location or other info.
    My issue is that now I can't unlock my Mac via iCloud.  I was hoping to be able to unlock my Mac so that the thief will login again and I will be able to get the location or pictures, but iCloud won't let me do so. I have a Guest account so that the thief can login without accessing any personal data.
    Is there any way to remotely unlock the Mac again with iCloud? Or is my only chance now that the thief tries taking the Mac to an apple store?

    No, the passcode you set has to be physically entered on the Mac. If they take it to an Apple Store, they do not have the authority to take possession of the Mac and may not get involved in the case.

    My phone was run over. It still works enough to see some of the screen but not the number pad. I cannot unlock the phone because I activated find my iphone. How can I unlock the phone so I can save my photos? Is there a way to unlock it from find my iphone. It was not backed up in iCloud. When I plug it into my computer, the computer tells me that I have to unlock it first. Help?

    No I haven't synced my iPhone with the computer I'm currently using. The computer that I normally sync my iPhone with is being repaired.
    I read a nearly identical question to mine (in which you answered) and I found my the answer. Thanks!
    Now I have a few more questions: If I mail my broken iPhone to Asurion, will I be able to get my data off of my iPhone once Asurion has it? And what will happen to my old iPhone and the data on it if I activate my replacement iPhone? Will my broken iPhone just become de-activated and will the data be erased or lost or something? Could I still sync it (with the computer ir originally synced with) and back up the data?
    Thanks.

  • 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?

    My iPhone has just been replaced and I am trying to restore from iCloud but its saying no backups are compatible with the version of IOS 6.0.1. My back iOS are IOS 6.1. Can you update the phone first then restore?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Yes, update first, Settings > General > Software Update.
    Then navigate to Settings > General > Reset > Erase all contents and settings on the device you want to restore.
    When this completes and the Set-Up Assistant starts, choose "Restore from iCloud Backup" and enter your iCloud account and password. You will see the three most recent backups for each of the devices on which you enabled Backup. Choose which backup to restore from.

  • HT201328 Can you unlock my I phone

    I'm going to visit out of country so can you unlock. To my I phone please

    No one here can unlock you phone for you.  This is not an Apple corporate support site - this is a discussion forum for users of Apple products.
    As already mentioned, you need to contact the carrier to which the iPhone is currently locked to.  Only that carrier can unlock it for you.

  • How can I unlock my iPhone in iCloud?

    I locked my iPhone after It was stolen then I realized if it is locked it I cannot locate it because whoever stole it can't access the Internet. Is there any way to unlock the lock in iCloud?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    You can't unlock the phone remotely, indeed you don't need to. The phone can continue to be tracked when it is locked.

  • I have recently purchased the highest storage but was unable to backup my phone via icloud, the button on my mphone to backup on icloud is grey out, anyone knows how to resolve the problem?  What's the point of purchasing the biggest storage?

    i have recently purchased the highest storage but was unable to backup my phone via icloud, the button on my iphone to backup on icloud is grey out, anyone knows how to resolve the problem?  What's the point of purchasing the biggest storage?

    First check that your device is correctly connected to the wifi/internet (settings > wifi)
    If your back up continually fails, you might try turning off back up on your mobile device (settings > iCloud > storage & backup) and then deleting the backup file from iCloud by swiping the backup file on the mobile device (settings > iCloud > storage & backup > manage…) and then turning back up on again.
    If this doesn't help, try turning off some items for back up in a pattern to try to establish if your problem is being caused by specific data on your device.
    Being able to back up to the cloud can be very useful, especially if you don't have access to a computer or have infrequent access to one, however unless you specifically need to use iCloud for back up, you will find backing up to iTunes significantly more convenient and possibly more reliable.

  • TS4006 can you have multiple phones on same user email

    can you have multiple phones on same user email

    If you mean can they share the same iCloud account, yes.  Just be aware that when multiple devices share the same iCloud account, any data they sync with the account will be merged and the merged data will appear on all of the devices.  Also, any action taken on one device (such as adding or deleting contacts) will also be taken on all other devices sharing the account.  Finally, the iCloud backups of all the devices will share the same iCloud storage space.
