Does find my iphone work after restore

my iphone was stolen, after one day i could see it in icloud with diffrent name.
after a few days it was gone.
as i understand to change the i phones name you have to restore it.
so can it be that it was restored and i can still use find my iphone to trace it?

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
The theft changed the Apple ID and you can't track the iPhone anymore. Report it to the police

  • Does "Find My iPhone" work on the original iPhone?

    Does "Find My iPhone" work on the original iPhone, or just the 3G and 3G S? Also, after installing 3.0 on my original, it seems some apps were deleted, like Google and the weather app.

    Yes it does work.. but the map accuracy isn't great at all, but workeable
    Try to sync from your computer again, and check the apps are there and are checked in the Applications tab of the iPhone page/screen.

    Is it possible to have your whole family on one apple id or is it better to have each person have there own? If each has their own does each id have to buy their own music and apps? How does find my iphone work with one apple id or two? also I am going to be going off to college soon should I make an itunes id for my self and how will I get all the music from the old id?

    Is it possible to have your whole family on one apple id or is it better to have each person have there own?
    Yes, it is possible. 1 apple ID can be associated with up to 10 devices.
    If each has their own does each id have to buy their own music and apps?
    Yes, all purchases are non-transferable.
    How does find my iphone work with one apple id or two?
    Every device associated with one apple ID through Find my iPhone is tied to that Apple ID; Find my iPhone will work in the same way with up to ten devices associated with one apple ID. You cannot enable Find my iPhone for one device across two apple IDs
    I am going to be going off to college soon should I make an itunes id for my self and how will I get all the music from the old id?
    If you have authorized a computer with the old apple ID, you can transfer old media purchased through the old to other devices via iTunes. This doesn't mean the media purchases through the old apple ID it transferred to the new account. If you plan to make future purchases and don't wish to share them with others, make your own apple ID.

  • TS4006 Does find my iPhone work with iCloud on a PC?

    Is there a way to get the "Find My iPhone" application to work with a PC running windows XP or windows7 ??

  • How does FIND MY IPHONE work?

    I'm trying to figure out how I am notified that my phone is found if the phone is lost.

    If you use Find My iPhone to play a sound on your device, or issue a remote lock, when this action is take you receive an email informing you that it took place.  To track your device you have to go to icloud.com on your computer and locate it on a map.  To actually be informed that it is found, you would have to initiate Lost Mode, and have a message displayed on your device that tells the person that finds it how to contact you.
    There are more details here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmfc0f2442.

  • Does "Find my Phone" work off the SIM card or is it tied to the IMEI?

    My phone has been misplaced or stolen. Does find my iphone work off the SIM card. if the SIM card has been removed, will Find my Phone still work, provided the phone is on?

    If the SIM card has been removed and the device has no active internet connection, then FMiP will not work, at least not immediately.  If the device gets connected to wi-fi or to cellular data, then the FMiP will work again.  That Activation Lock, however, doesn't require an internet connection.

  • IPod shuffle does not recognized by iTunes after restore

    Hello
    I have a iPod shuffle (4th gen) and a windows laptop.
    After restoring my iPod shuffle (as directed by iTunes), iTunes does not recognized my iPod anymore.
    The data in the iPod has been deleted (ie return to the factory settings), but iTunes does not proceed to prompt me to name my iPod and set up sync options etc, it simply does nothing and does not recognize my iPod. 
    I went on My Computer, and reformatted the iPod shuffle again. As a result of the reformatting, iTunes recognizes my iPod but it requires me to restore my iPod back to factory settings again. It became a cycle of either recognizing the iPod but asking me to restore it; or does not recognize my iPod after restoration.
    Please kindly assist me with this situation as it is rather frustrating.
    iTunes is in the latest version as I have attempted the trouble shooting support on the webpage.
    Many thanks.

    Hi priscillayeung,
    If you are having issues with your iPod being recognized by your Windows computer but not by iTunes (or being recognized but requiring a restore, which then causes it to not be recognized again), you may find the troubleshooting steps outlined in the following article helpful:

  • My iPhone 3gs after restoration is not being activated ... can you help?

    my iPhone 3gs after restoration is not being activated ... can you help?

    Generally this is a sign that the iPhone had previously been
    hacked/modified/jailbroken and the update relocked it to the
    original wireless carrier. If this is the case, only that wireless
    carrier can unlock your iPhone. You must contact them to see
    if they offer unlocking and if you qualify.
    Where did you acquire this iPhone?
    What wireless carrier did you use before this problem?
    Does the app Cydia appear on your iPhone?
    What does it say when you look at Settings=>General=>About=>Carrier?

  • Lost my iPhone and why doesn't find my iPhone work

    Lost my iPhone and why doesn't find my iPhone work

    A friendly reminder: In order to use Find My IPhone Successfully, you need to 1. Turn on Location Services, 2. Lock Location Services (Using Restrictions in Settings, General, Restrictions) so that if some one else finds your IPhone, they can NOT turn off Find My IPhone And/Or Location Services itself! 3. Add your Mobile Me and/Or ICloud Account to your IPhone. 4. Lock Accounts (Again in Restrictions) from being changed or Deleted so that your Mobile Me And/OR ICloud Account can NOT be Deleted! 5. Look Up the Location of your IPhone Before Suspending Service to the IPhone, NOT after Suspending Service (simple common since applies here as well).

  • Does "find my iPad" work on first generation iPads?

    Does "find my ipad" work on first generation iPads?

    The Find My iPad app is for tracking from the device you install it on. It's not necessary to install it on a device you want to track. To set up your iPad to itself be tracked, you just set up Find My iPhone/iPad in the iCloud settings.
