Find my iphone - Adding a new device because old one stolen.

Hi -
I've recently had my iphone 5 stolen which was registered to my iclouds, as well as the 'Find my iphone' app.
Since being given a new iphone from an insurance claim, I have tried to register this iphone with the 'find my iphone' app but have had a little trouble doing so, as my old iphone is still registered with my iclouds and thus still associated with the app.
Obviously I don't know how to remove the app from my old device as it's no longer in my possession, so if anyone can give me a step by step to registering my new iphone with the app that would be fantastic!
Thanks for your help guys!
Steve

Try removing the old device in iCloud.  http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2702   Then add your new device.

  • Syncing iPhone & iPad with new laptop after old one crashed.

    The computer (Dell laptop) I had originally synced my iPhone & iPad with crashed. I have a Toshiba laptop that I authorized with my iTunes account but I cannot sync my devices. When plugged in I receive the message waiting for my old laptop to sync.  Any suggestions?

  • Syncing my iPad with new PC after old one stolen

    Hello.
    I would like to add iTunes to my new PC and link my iPad and iPhone to it, however, I am worried that when I do, I will lose all of my purchased music and DLs. I do not have access to my old computer that I originally used to sync my devices with to change the sync option to manual.
    Is this a lost cause and will I have to start all over again?
    Thanks

  • I registered my new iPhone 5s to my usual Apple ID, however it isn't showing in my devices when I log in. I tried to register it by adding a new device, but it tells me it's already registered to a different Apple ID. I'm really not sure how to fix this.

    I registered my new iPhone 5s to my usual Apple ID, however it isn't showing in my devices when I log in. I tried to register it by adding a new device, but it tells me it's already registered to a different Apple ID. I'm really not sure how to fix this. I only have the one Apple ID and the phone is brand new, purchased directly from Apple.
    When I check on the phone itself (iCloud and App Store settings) the Apple ID is correct. I'm not sure where else to check.
    Whilst setting up the phone, it prompted me to register, which I did. Then when connecting to my laptop through iTunes it prompted me again so I registered again. I even got a confirmation email to the email address associated with my Apple ID that the registration was successful.
    How can I add my iPhone 5s to the list of devices on the correct Apple ID?
    Thanks in advance for any advice.

    Found the answer to my question after posting (in related discussions)

    No.  The phone must be turned on, obviously.

    It's a bit too late for that. You needed to do that before it was stolen.
    What To Do If Your iDevice Is Lost Or Stolen
    If you activated Find My Phone before it was lost or stolen, you can track it only if Wi-Fi is enabled on the device. 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.

  • HT1766 How to restore the iPhone as a new device?

    I am unlocking my phone through Apple & the mobile company, here are the steps I need to follow. I am not sure how to restore my phone as a new device!?
    iTunes
    1.    Back up the device using iTunes.
    2.    Restore the iPhone as a new device to complete the unlock.
    3.    Restore the iPhone again from Back up file to get all the data back.

    Thank you for your reply.
    I see. So When it asks me would you like to set it up as a
    1. New Device,
    2. Back Up from iTunes or
    3. Back up from iCloude
    I should select as a New Device? And re-use my current apple ID? I selected option 2 and didn't get the message "Congradulation, your iPhone is now unlocked"

  • HT3226 My iphone 4s fell down on the floor and a very very small bit on the edge of my iphone were broken. Can I insert a new iphone body panel with replace the old one

    My iphone 4s fell down on the floor and a very very small bit on the edge of my iphone were broken. Can I insert a new iphone body panel with replace the old one.. ???

    I think I had it on the iCloud, I just changed computers and had part of my old computer backed up, where are the default iTunes info saved like the pictures and I know my contacts were backed up cuz I kept getting updated stuff that I wasn't sure about, but it was contacts where some belonged to my wife's contacts....but anyway, if the cloud backed up contacts, it should have grabbed pictures too? Like I asked before, if they were backed up to the computer, is there a default iTunes folder they are saved to? I had a crap load of pictures on there that I usually could really access if I was connected to wi-fi. I turned off my data stuff as I only have 4GB and between me and my 2 kids, we seemed to use up a lot of it. My son would play music from Pandora during work, and use up all our data til I limited him to only 3GB, my daughter and I barely used 1GB. Anyway, thanks to everybody that is answering. I thought I might have done good finding the dang sim card, but pointless I guess.
    Ralph - F.Y.I. I would be happy to back up the iPhone if I could turn it on LOL......I am pretty positive I did, but what about Text messages? ANY of those saved too or not? Sorry guys, I don't know a **** of a lot about cell phones, but I do know about memory cards, but not sim cards that act like memory cards or look like them anyway. What is the purpose of a sim card if I may ask a stupid question since they don't hold any data from my phone stuff. I just hope my stuff comes back on the new replacement phone once I get it up and running. Again, thanks to everybody for the edumucation.

  • Hi. I'm new to this and thought I already posted this question, but don't see it anywhere. My question: If I get a new iPhone, can I still use the old one like an iPod and download music and apps?

    If I buy a new iphone, can I still use the old one like an ipod with my iMac and download music, videos and apps?

    Absolutely, Yes. I'm sure that many iPhones are "recycled" that way within a family.
    The worst that will happen is that once in a while it will remind you to activate it as a phone. Just ignore the notifications.

    I want to reinstall CS4 as it has been doing some strange things regarding printing, etc. However, when I did this before, it created a major problem and I ended up buying a new computer because no one could figure out why it kept hanging up during the installation. Hours on the phone, no results. I'm scared to do it on this computer. Should I try? Not even the Adobe support could get it resolved. I believe it was somehow reading a product number that could not be deleted or something, and nothing worked.

    Hello, as an addition:
    In your case I would download a really new trial version of your program(s) in question and change it/them into a "real" version later, BUT because you said, that you "re-installed" already, so it will become a little bit more complicated. It would be necessary that you have to use "Adobe Creative Suite Cleaner Tool" as Keith wrote.
    Here an advice for that (The order varies depending on your individual needs. Please read all my proposals first, so you can better choose the first step:)
    1. Maybe you have to activate/deactivate, so please have a look there:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/activation-deactivation-products.html
    2. Sometimes, we know in the meantime, the "opm.db file" is the culprit. In this case you should delete it.
    3. Be careful with (de)installing aso. by (de)installing by your own resources. As much as I regret it and as strange as it may seem I fear it's a challenge for Adobe's Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool. Sometimes - for whatever reasons - CC doesn't "want" to work. In this case you should CC completely delete and reinstall by help of Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool. (A try to uninstall by own resources is not enough!)
    I quote: Adobe Creative Suite Cleaner Tool helps resolve installation problems for Adobe Creative Cloud and Adobe Creative Suite (CS3-CS6) applications. The tool removes installation records for prerelease installations of Creative Cloud or Creative Suite applications. It does not affect existing installations of previous versions of Creative Cloud or Creative Suite applications.
    Please use: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html   and follow the prescribed sequence of operations
    4. If necessary and for further questions click through http://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html and if "open" please use the chat, I for may part - as it seems unlike you - had the best experiences. I quote from Adobe's employee Preran: The chat button is activated as soon as there is an agent available to help.

  • My ipod is not recognized on a new computer after old one crashed.  I have painstakenly restored all songs and playlists.  I deautorized all, and the reauthorized new computer.  It won't sync.

    My ipod is now recognized on a new computer after old one crashed.  I installed itunes on the new computer, and have painstakenly restored all songs and playlists. I also purchased several new songs from the itunes stores.  Now my ipod will not sync with the new computer.  I deauthorized all computers, then reauthorozed the new one.  My ipod still won't sync.

    ...after running diagnostics through itunes, itunes says  "device not found"  Seems there are a lot of others having this problem,and it seems to be related to new version of itunes.  Apple should do something to fix this.

  • Have new iPad giving old one to family member

    Hi can anyone take me through the steps needed to get this sorted. Want to keep photos on old one then register new one to my account and other to a new account
    Will old one keep all apps and other things?
    Will new one loaf all old stuff
    Please help

    You won't be able to do exactly what you want. At least not directly
    Read through this about wiping/moving stuff off your iPad and getting ti ready for resell/handing down
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5661
    The only way to keep the photos would be to upload them somewhere and then redownload  them once you set the iPad up for the new owner.
    Apps aren't tied to a device. they're tied to the Apple ID, so when you set it up for the new owner and they put their ID on there, they'll have to start over with their apps.

  • How can I upload my ipod shuffle tunes to my new computer? Old one crashed.

    How can I upload my ipod shuffle tunes to my new computer? Old one crashed.

    Have you not got a backup of your content on, for example, an external drive that you can copy onto your new computer ? If not, then depending on which country that you are in you might be able to re-download iTunes purchases from the store. Otherwise you will need to find a third-party program to copy the music off the iPod - this post from a couple of years mentions some that were around at the time, I don't know whether they still exist and work.
